Chapter 98 Boren died because of me?

There are only three people in Zhou's family, including a young child who can't live without his parents. Obviously living in the main house is enough.The houses on the east and west sides are all vacant, but Aji used to be only fit to live in the firewood house in the corner of the inverted seat.

On the way to the East Chamber, Su Wei glanced in the direction of the firewood house—every door was opened when the government officials came, so it was easy to see what was going on in the firewood house.

Next to the firewood stack there, there is still a wooden bed, only two or three feet wide, with two broken rattan boxes beside the bed.And under the bed, there were two mouse holes.

Su Wei's heart trembled. When she was at her worst, she also faced an extremely difficult environment. She knew this feeling.

Entering the east wing room where the square-faced policeman quickly led the way, there are many tables, chairs, benches, boxes and cages, etc. It can be seen that this place is used as a warehouse.

When entering the door, Su Wei first looked at the door. The door was solid, and the lock showed signs of being pried open. Judging from the existing latches, it can be regarded as the protection of ordinary people's warehouses.

Looking at the boxes against the wall, it turned out that the locks had all been picked.

Su Luo picked up the lock on the ground to check, and the policeman on the other side was already reporting what happened: "This door originally had a lock, which was opened by the brothers when they were investigating, but after entering, they found that there were some boxes. After being pried, and then inspected, Mr. Song found signs of damage to the roof, and found a cut rope on the beam. It is guessed that the criminals did not directly pry open the door, but came up and down from the beam to attack."

"Open the box and have a look." Han Mo said.

The lids of several boxes were all lifted, and the inside was turned into a mess, a few pots that were not very old, a few bolts of silk, and a few copper coins scattered around.

"Have you lost all your valuables?" Han Mo asked.

"In this room, these are the most valuable things left."

Yang You said: "Even the copper coins are collected here, so I guess there is nothing valuable."

"But he spent so much time searching this warehouse, even copper coins, at least for money."

Han Mo said while looking up at the beams of the house. It was obvious that the Zhou family did not have any family background. The house was built in the open and there was no roof. There was obviously a mess of tiles on the roof. "Since there are ropes, there must be at least two people. And the technique is not very clever."

"The Zhou family is not necessarily very poor." At this time, a clear voice came from outside the door. It was Song Yan who came in with his sword hidden, and something was still clutched in his right hand, "When I inspected the main room earlier, I saw There is Baifangzhai's rouge in front of the vanity mirror of the Zhou family's wife, please look at it, my son."

He handed the thing in his hand to Han Mo, and Han Mo took it in his hand and looked it over, and said, "What's wrong?"

Song Yandao: "Baifangzhai is a store specializing in the sale of rouge and gouache. The price is not at the level that rich and powerful women will favor, but it is by no means cheap. This box of rouge is probably new. It seems that it has not been long since I bought it, and—— —”

Having said that, he reached out his hands to follow Han Mo's gesture, and pressed a hidden button on the top of the rouge box, and a small hidden compartment popped out at the bottom of the box.

He took out two gold earrings the size of mung beans from the hidden compartment and showed them to the people present: "I know that no matter how poor a family is, there may be one or two gold jewelry heirlooms. But those must be old things." But the earrings are new, so it can be seen that the Zhou family only bought them recently after they made money.

"If the Zhou family is really that poor, why can this woman afford such rouge and jewelry? Their family usually does some small business to make a living. Where did the money come from recently?"

The detectives all gathered around because of this new discovery.

Su Wei, who was looking closely at the lock in her hand, heard their discussion here, her heart moved, and she suddenly raised her head: "Half a month ago, under the pretext of buying a maid, I sent a girl who was abused by them to stay at their house. The little girl brought it back to the Su family, and gave 50 taels of silver as a buyout relationship, and they will definitely not be able to spend the money in more than half a month, have you found the taels of silver?"

The eyes of the whole room turned to her, and then everyone looked at each other. Song Yan took the lead and said, "Is this Miss Su?"

Dou Yin nodded, and then asked: "The silver bill that Miss Su gave at that time, or the silver ingot?"

"Silver tickets! Baoxiang Village has [-] silver tickets, five in total."

"They will definitely not put such an important thing in the warehouse, - go to the main room to search!"

Han Mo spoke immediately.

In this way, it becomes more reasonable for the gangsters who came begging for money to go to the main house to commit murder. 50 taels of silver is definitely a huge sum of money for a family like the Zhou family, which is why the mean wife of the Zhou family To be able to agree to buy out this relationship so happily, and even offered to help pack the package for Aji to leave!

Where can a gangster who can kill people with a butcher's knife and use such stupid methods as falling from the roof get rich? 50 taels of silver is enough for them to buy how many pig-killing knives and how many pigs to kill?It is nothing new to see wealth since ancient times!

It's just that Su Wei never imagined that the 50 taels of silver she gave could become the fuse that cost the lives of the Zhou family and his wife!

If I don't kill Boren, Boren will die because of me?

"Is there anything wrong with this lock?"

At this time, Han Mo, who had sent someone out, walked up to her.

Su Wei looked at her hand and said, "There is nothing wrong with the lock, it's just a common double spring lock, and it can indeed be picked. It's just that the person who opened the lock looks rough."

Having said that, she handed the lock to Han Mo, put on her skirt and walked out, rushing back to the main room which was being searched.

Han Mo was suddenly left by her, caught the copper lock that was still warm from her palm, paused, and walked over.

Just now, the corpse has been carried to Shuntian Mansion by the arresters. Next, Dou Yin will conduct a detailed inspection on the corpse, which is the usual practice.So there was only blood and the smell of blood in the room, Song Yan didn't let the police intervene, but let a few guards of the Duke's Mansion who had followed them in the case of Donglinwei in the past search the furniture.

"Here's a package."

Just in time, a guard found a package wrapped in oiled paper from the closet.Su Wei wanted to continue, but a hand went over her shoulder, stretched out from behind her, and took it directly.

Su Wei turned her head and saw that Han Mo had already unfolded the package, and raised a pair of thick eyebrows at her: "Don't just pick up things of unknown origin. According to my experience, all the things of unknown origin found at the crime scene Objects, there may be something you want in it, and it may also be something that kills you."

Su Luo said helplessly: "Then you opened it?"

"Why am I the same?" Han Mo looked at the package slowly, "I have seen this kind of scene a lot, even if there is danger, I have the ability to respond in time. But the 'ghost hand' can only make locks, not life-saving effort."

He whispered the last sentence close to Su Luo's ear, and the words contained a lot of meaning.

Su Luo rolled her eyes.

"No problem, it's just a few books of sages." At this time, he put the three books that he had flipped through several times on the case, "The bank notes are not here."
