Demon detective

Chapter 19 Rich
"No...no?" Under the boudoir, Ah Sheng who was stuttering was being questioned by Xu Zhen, "Miss...yes...you are very kind to us."

Xu Zhen glanced at him, seeing that he was struggling to speak, so he got straight to the point and asked, "What's going on with Meier?"

"This... oh..." Hearing the name "Meier", Ah Sheng's eyes showed obvious pity. He was afraid that Xu Zhen would see it, so he hurriedly lowered his head.

"Who cut off her ears?"

"This... oh..." Ah Sheng still hesitated.

"Ah Sheng, I can swear to you," Xu Zhen raised his hand, "What you said to me now, I will not tell anyone else!"

"Already... already... already... passed, passed, passed..."

Ah Sheng meant: The murderer has been found, so what's the use of asking?

"No, it's useful!" Xu Zhen said loudly, "Don't think that you'll be fine if you catch the murderer. Master Wei's daughter was killed by you servants. Do you think he will spare you lightly when he turns around?"

"Ah?" Ah Sheng grinned, he had never thought about this before.

That's right, according to Wei Yulang's personality, even though the murderer was Sang'er, he would never spare other servants lightly.

"Now, I can only save you if you tell me the truth, understand?"

"This... oh..." Although Ah Sheng stuttered, he was not too stupid. After thinking about the stakes, he turned his heart and said decisively, "Okay, since I can't run away anyway, why don't you run away?" ...do, do..."

"Just say it!" Xu Zhen hurriedly urged him because he couldn't wait for him to finish speaking.

"Mei'er, yes, it's because I overheard Miss San that she..."

Ah Sheng told Xu Zhen that this third lady has a violent temper and is moody, and whenever she is in a bad mood, she will take down people to vent her anger.Almost all the maids and servants in the house have been beaten by her.

But in recent years, the third lady has become more and more serious, cutting off ears, pouring boiling water, pulling out teeth, swallowing hair and other bad behaviors happened frequently, which made the servants in the house live in fear every day.

It can be said that in this Wei mansion, Sang'er is definitely not the only one who wishes the third lady a good death!
"Then..." Xu Zhen asked again, "What is the relationship between this third lady and Mrs. Wei?"

Ah Sheng told Xu Zhen that it was impossible for her and Mrs. Wei to get along peacefully because of Miss San's temper. Fortunately, Mrs. Wei tolerated everything and never had a direct conflict with Miss San.

After all, Mrs. Wei was protected by the master, and the third lady didn't dare to treat her too much, so she was able to get over it.

A Sheng also said that although Mrs. Wei was born in a foreign aristocrat, she has a gentle temperament, never punishes servants without reason, and is very popular among her servants.

Next, Ah Sheng talked about some things about Sonny, saying that he also knew about Sonny's family, and if he didn't pay his debts to Wansheng Gambling House, his family might be destroyed...

After hearing this, Xu Zhen felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't expect Miss Wei to be such a vicious person.

However, after questioning Ah Sheng, he already had a basic judgment on the case.

It seems that the case is not as simple as it appears on the surface!
Next, in order to be safe, Xu Zhen called the maids, servants, and nurses in the house, and questioned them respectively.

After all the questions were asked, he finally confirmed his judgment. Behind Sonny, there really was—a black hand behind the scenes!
……

An hour later, Xu Zhen returned to the garden.

But seeing the two adults still anxiously pacing back and forth under the gazebo, they obviously lost their patience.

There is no way, this is Wei Yulang's home, as long as Xu Zhen does not accept the team, it will be difficult for them to leave.

Xu Zhen didn't want to waste much time with them, so he made a detour to the side room where Sang'er was housed.

As soon as he approached, he was stopped by the guard at the door.

Fortunately, Wei Yulang in the room heard Xu Zhen's voice, so he opened the door and let Xu Zhen enter the room.

The windows had already been blocked, and the house was dark.

Seeing the bewildered Langzhong squatting in the corner, Xu Zhen already knew that Sang'er who took the poison had already died.

Looking inside, he saw the dead body of a woman on the bed.

"How is it?" Wei Yulang asked hastily, "What did you find out? What did you mean just now..."

"Hush..." Xu Zhen hissed, and gestured around with his eyes.

Wei Yulang understood in seconds, and hurriedly said to his subordinates: "Okay, you all go down! Remember what I said, the lowly slave is not dead, he has been rescued!"

"Yes!" The doctor and several of his subordinates agreed, and hurried out of the room.

"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen asked Wei Yulang after he left, "Did anyone approach this room deliberately just now?"

Wei Yulang shook his head: "No, I asked them to pay attention, but no one tried to approach here. Little policeman, tell me quickly, does this lowly slave have accomplices?"

"Not an accomplice, but..." Xu Zhen looked at Wei Yulang and said solemnly, "There is another real culprit!"

"What!?" Wei Yulang was shocked, "How is it possible? This lowly slave has already admitted..."

Before Wei Yulang finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhen's raised arm, so he had to keep quiet again.

"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen paused for two seconds, and said, "I have seen Miss Wei's wound, and she was stabbed three times in the chest, and the three stabs just formed a triangle!"

"Triangle?" Wei Yulang frowned, not knowing why.

"The fatal knife is the heart knife!" Xu Zhen said, pointing to his heart, "The one blow is fatal, and the technique is professional, but the remaining two knifes are obviously made up after the murder."

"This..." Wei Yulang seemed to understand something, but he couldn't fully understand it.

"So," Xu Zhen said, "it was definitely not Sang'er who killed Miss Wei!"

"Ah?" Wei Yulang broke up in an instant when he had a little understanding, and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"I've asked the nursing home just now that there are people on duty at the front and side of the boudoir," Xu Zhen explained, "If the crime scene is really as Sang'er said, then when Sang'er committed the crime, Miss Wei only needs to yell. One sound will definitely attract the attention of the nurses!"

"Ah?" Wei Yulang was surprised, he hadn't thought of this at all.

"From the point of view of the wound," Xu Zhen said, "Miss Wei was assassinated in a standing position.

"The murderer must have committed the murder deliberately, covering Miss Wei's mouth and nose with one hand, and stabbing Miss Wei's heart with the other hand!

"So, the murderer's height should at least not be shorter than Miss Wei, and Sonny's height... tsk tsk..."

Seeing Xu Zhen shaking his head, Wei Yulang's cheeks were already sweating, and he hurriedly asked: "If it's not Sang'er, who else is it!?
"Huh? Isn't that right?" He recalled, and hurriedly asked, "If it wasn't Sonny, why did Sonny admit it?"

"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen reminded, "The poison that Sang'er took took only ten seconds to take effect. Such a powerful poison is not something ordinary people can buy!"

"Oh? That's right..." Wei Yulang opened his mouth wide, no wonder he also felt that something was wrong before!

"Wait...what do you mean by that? That lowly slave...was ordered by someone, oh no, to take the blame for someone else, why?"

"Because," Xu Zhen said, "Sang'er is trading her life for the safety of her family!"

"Ah? This... this, this, this..." Wei Yulang thought for a while, and finally realized, "You mean...someone used Sang'er's family to threaten her? Let her take the blame, but her family has...already... "

"What if... it's not a threat, but a rescue?" Xu Zhen guided.

"Ah?" Wei Yulang realized again, "You mean, someone promised her that as long as she takes the blame, she will forgive her family's debts? Give their family a sum of money? Is...who is it?
"Wait...wait..." Suddenly, he finally thought of the key point, "The real murderer is about the same height as Yingying, he can provide her with valuable poison, and he can help the lowly slave's family get rid of debts, so... ...This person has to be rich, rich... rich..."

"Wei Sicheng," Xu Zhen added, "I noticed that before Sang'er decided to take the poison, she looked at you with decisive eyes, but now it seems that she was not looking at you at that time!"
