My martial arts rely on solving cases

Chapter 90 The Murderer Is You!

After returning from the wax workshop, Su Qing couldn't help pondering Xu Wuyi's words in her mind.Seven years ago, such a big case happened in Huai'an Mansion?Could this case be related to what happened back then?
It wasn't that Su Qing was too good at associating, the murderer killed Yang Xiaolan and made a candle to light it up.This behavior is somewhat hateful.No injustice, no enmity, can you do this?
And why not make it into something else, but have to make it into a sky lantern?The biggest connection is wax.

The green wax is a craft three years ago, and what was lost in the accident workshop that year was the green wax.What a coincidence.

Although I didn't get the source of the wax from the workshop, but fortunately I know how to identify the wax.

Back at the yamen, he ordered people to bring Xue Chonglou and Zhan Zhao back.After telling them how to identify the wax, they were sent out again.

In the afterglow of sunset, Su Qing stood in the courtyard and looked at the passing sunset in the sky. For some reason, she has always been a little sentimental recently.

"My lord! Found—"

A shout of excitement sounded, and Zhan Zhao and Xue Chonglou walked side by side.

"Find the murderer? So fast?"

"My lord, you think highly of us." Xue Chonglou was a little speechless, "We found Qingwa, and found it in a shop in Nine Hutong. He has already brought him back, and is waiting for your lord to interrogate him."

"Go!" Su Qing waved her hand and went straight to the interrogation room of the dungeon.

In the interrogation room, a middle-aged man wearing a tall hat looked around in a panic, his face turned white and blue, obviously frightened.

"Officer, why was I arrested? Give me an explicit explanation! Hints are fine too."

In the dungeon, the yamen servant glanced coldly and gave you the look you wanted.

"grown ups!"

"See your lord!"

There were shouts and calls in the distance, and the guards stopped talking softly, cheering up one after another.

"My lord! The villain is wronged—" The middle-aged man fell to his knees when he saw Su Qing.

"I haven't asked you anything yet, why did you get wronged first? What did I wrong you for?"

"My lord, I don't know what the villain did, but the villain was wronged. The villain has a pure nature, keeps himself safe, and has never done anything criminal. There must be some misunderstanding."

Su Qing stretched out her hand, and Xue Chonglou handed over two candles, "Are these candles from your shop?"

The middle-aged man looked at it, his eyes moved slightly but he quickly shook his head, "No, this kind of green wax is definitely not sold by villains."

"Now that you're here, don't play tricks. I bought these two candles from your shop. The green wax has been discontinued a long time ago. Where did you get it?"

"The villain doesn't know what green wax is. The villain is a seller...My lord, if you want to find out the source of the candles, you should go to the wax workshop. The villain buys from there."

"Looks like you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Su Qing sighed softly, "Did you hear about the murder case in Chenghuang Temple yesterday?"

"Listen... I heard. It seems that a sky lantern has been lit..."

"The victim was made into a candle, using your wax. I have searched all the shops, and only your shop has this kind of green wax. It seems that you are the murderer."

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned, and immediately froze in place.

"My lord, I'm wronged, I'm wronged! Isn't this kind of green wax only available in my store, the Zhangji grocery store across the door, and the Liuji grocery store, it's everywhere in the city, why is it only in my small store? You go Check them out..."

"It's too troublesome. I still have to screen it? This case is causing panic, so it's better to close it as soon as possible." Su Qing said leisurely.

Hearing this, the scalp in the middle-aged man's ears immediately went numb!
Listen, is this human?

Too much trouble, too lazy to screen?Close the case early?

The life of a girl whose feelings are lit up with sky lanterns is her life, but mine is not?

"My lord, I am wronged! My lord, I bought all the green wax from a peddler in the west of the city. The villain is really wronged. There are only ten catties of this kind of green candle in the villa, and I haven't sold them for half a year."

"A peddler? What kind of peddler? What's your name? How can you, a grocer, buy from a peddler?"

"His name is Yang Lao Si, and he is a street peddler. I don't know where I can get wax. Anyway, it is much cheaper than the workshop. The price difference in silver."

"Lao Si Yang?" Su Qing showed surprise on her face, her first reaction was that it was impossible, the murderer could not be Lao Si Yang.

But in an instant, Su Qing quickly suppressed it again.

"Are you sure it's the fourth brother Yang?"

"What is there to be sure about? It must be him."

"Who else has this green wax besides him?"

"Green wax has been discontinued for a long time. As far as I know, in Qingle County, only Mr. Yang has green wax in his hands, and the workshop is white wax."

"What about the black workshop?"

"It's black wax, which is worse than green wax. It burns more smoke than fire, so no one buys it."

Su Qing's eyes flickered, she suddenly stood up and turned to leave.

Without hesitation, he took Xue Chonglou and a group of policemen straight to Yang Laosi's home.

In the west of the main city, Mr. Yang's family has an independent courtyard, a row of bungalows and two side rooms.

The last time I saw Yang Laosi with patches on his body, I thought his family was poor.But along the way, the four old families of Yang are the most wealthy.

Xue Chonglou went up and knocked on the door, and after a while, Yang Laosi opened the door.

"My lord, is there any new progress in the case? Has the murderer been caught? My poor daughter—" As he spoke, the fourth son Yang began to cry again.

"There is a new development in the case." Su Qing said lightly, and waved her hand, "Go in and search."

"what?"

Youngest Yang was immediately dumbfounded, and didn't bother to cry, he hurriedly came to Su Qing with trembling hands, and said, "My lord, what are you doing?"

"It's okay, don't worry, it's just a routine inspection."

Yang Laosi's face was blank, but in his heart, he probably started to scold him long ago.

Routine inspection?You call this a routine inspection?The bandits are not so aggressive, are they?Looking at the shutters rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the room, Yang Laosi tried to speak several times but swallowed it.

After a while, Xue Chonglou's voice came from inside, "My lord, I found it."

Su Qing gave Old Fourth Yang a cold look, "Let's go."

Yang Laosi suspiciously followed Su Qing to the room, only to see that Xue Chonglou had opened the hidden compartment of the bed, and found a large box from inside, which contained congealed green wax.

It was the same as the one taken out of Yang Xiaolan's belly.

Seeing Qingwa, Su Qing's eyes flickered coldly, "How do you explain this?"

And Yang Laosi's complexion suddenly changed, turning pale again.

"My lord... I... I..."

"I searched all over Qingle County, looking for this kind of green wax, but in the end I was told that it was all from you.

In the end, it was a thief calling for a thief.

Fourth Yang, wearing patched clothes and being a street peddler, you hide quite deeply. "

"Adults... villains... villains are also for their livelihood. Just relying on salesmen to make a living is not enough for Lan Lan's tuition."

"But why did you brutally kill her again? What kind of hatred do father and daughter have?"

"Kill Lan'er?" Yang Laosi shuddered immediately, and shuddered suddenly, "My lord, did you misunderstand something? How could I kill Lan'er? She is my daughter, my dear daughter!"

"Where did these green wax come from?"

"I... I did it myself." Young Four said tremblingly.

"Yang Xiaolan was made into a wax figurine and lit a sky lantern. We took forty catties of green wax out of her stomach. As far as I know, you are the only one who has a lot of this kind of green wax in Qingle County, not you , who else could it be?"
