Demon detective

Chapter 20 Cooperation
"No...no..." Wei Yulang understood what Xu Zhen meant, but shook his head in disbelief and said, "This is impossible, impossible!"

According to what Xu Zhen said, if the person Sang'er looked at before he died was not Wei Yulang, it could only be someone around Wei Yulang.

And there was only one person standing next to Wei Yulang at that time, and that was Mrs. Wei! ! !

"She..." Wei Yulang said tremblingly, "She went to Ziyang Palace, how could it be her? She wasn't there at all!"

"Because of this," Xu Zhen nodded, "she will not be suspected by anyone, and she can be perfectly exonerated."

"Ah?" Wei Yulang stared at Xu Zhen with suspicion in his eyes.

"After a person dies, the body will gradually become stiff," Xu Zhen said. "Miss Wei's rigor has spread to her limbs, which means that her death time has been far more than three hours."

"How is it possible?" Wei Yulang didn't believe it.

"I've already asked the maids who called me early in the morning," Xu Zhen said again, "They just reminded Miss Wei to get up outside the house, but they were scolded by Miss Wei. At that time, they didn't enter the room, and they didn't see Miss Wei with their own eyes. .”

"You...you mean..." Wei Yulang opened his mouth wide, "At that time, my daughter had already been killed? Then...who was that talking?"

"If I'm not wrong," Xu Zhen said solemnly, "the incident should have been like this. Mrs. Wei sneaked into Miss Wei's room as early as late at night, lured her to get up, and then killed her.

"And there is another person with her, that is Sonny!

"Madam Wei knows that something happened to Sang'er's family and she needs money urgently, and Sang'er was once splashed with boiling water by Miss Wei, so she has a grudge against her.

"So she made a deal with Sonny, letting Sonny be the scapegoat, and if they fail to blame Ah Sheng, Sonny will take the blame!

"After the murder, Mrs. Wei asked Sang'er to stay in the house, and left the murder weapon to Sang'er, and asked her to disguise the scene as a theft so that she could blame Ah Sheng.

"When the maid called for morning, Sonny covered her mouth with a bed sheet and imitated Miss Wei's voice, cursing loudly, saying that she would not go to burn incense, so as to fend off the maid who called for morning."

"Sheets?" Wei Yulang frowned.

"The maid called Zao said that the voice they heard was muffled at the time, so they couldn't identify it accurately, and it must be Miss Wei who spoke.

"However," Xu Zhen said again, "they didn't have doubts, because they would naturally think that Miss Wei's voice came from the bed, and even if there were some strange things, it was reasonable.

"Besides, Miss Wei has such a temper, how dare the maids enter the house to check?"

humming...

Hearing this, Wei Yulang's clenched fists rattled, but after serious thinking, he still objected:
"Since she has found a lowly slave to take the blame, why does she have to do it herself?"

Xu Zhen didn't answer directly, but gestured to Sang'er's body.

"Oh..." Wei Yulang realized on his own: Sonny's body is too weak and she has no experience. If she is asked to kill people directly, the probability of failure is very high.

But Mrs. Wei was different. The Rama tribe was originally a warlike nation from the Western Regions. As Princess Rama, she was not only tall, but she also learned equestrian martial arts and killing skills since she was a child.

If he wanted to kill Miss Wei, it would be a no-brainer.

"I asked the nursing home of the Wei Mansion," Xu Zhen said again, "the mansion is heavily patrolled and guarded, and it is extremely difficult for outsiders to get close to Miss Wei's boudoir.

"However, Mrs. Wei's house is only separated from the boudoir by a courtyard wall. If you know the rules of patrolling, you can easily avoid everyone and sneak into the boudoir.

"Besides, there is the most important point, that is the motive for killing!" Xu Zhen said again, "I heard that you want to designate the third lady as the successor to inherit the family business, right?"

what! ! ?
Wei Yulang sat down, his eyes full of complex expressions, shock, anger, remorse, frustration...

All kinds of emotions were intertwined and coiled, making this high-spirited Wei Yulang gradually sluggish, and when he raised his head again, he seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

That's right, once she dies in the future and the third lady takes over the Wei family, it is conceivable that Mrs. Wei, a little mother, can still have a good life?
"Wei Sicheng," Seeing Wei Yulang's appearance, Xu Zhen said calmly, "When the case is found here, it is your family business. How you want to deal with it is up to the humble officials to listen to you.

"Don't worry, if Wei Sicheng doesn't want to say anything, then the humble official will keep his mouth shut, and the case will come to an end!"

Xu Zhen made it very clear that it was up to Wei Yulang to decide whether to arrest the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, both the real murderer and the deceased were his closest relatives.

"Evil obstacles, they are all evil obstacles!" Wei Yulang sighed up to the sky, and said with grief and indignation, "The one who did the evil is none other than me... oh..."

Xu Zhen saw in amazement that the corners of Wei Yulang's eyes, who were known as one of the four bullies, were moist.

"Little arrester," Wei Yulang raised his head and said, "Since we have reached this point, let your yamen handle the business as usual!"

"Oh?" Xu Zhen confirmed, "Do you really want to investigate to the end?"

"Well," Wei Yulang nodded with difficulty, "If such a femme fatale is left behind, how can I feel at ease in the future? What's more, she killed my daughter, how can I not pursue it!?"

"Okay, since Wei Sicheng has made up his mind, he must do his best in this humble position, but..." Xu Zhen deliberately elongated his voice, falling into hesitation.

"Why?" Wei Yulang heard the question and asked, "What do you mean, it may not be possible to catch it? Is it... there is no evidence?"

"It's not that there's no evidence, it's just that...it's not enough," Xu Zhen was embarrassed. "Once the real murderer denies it, the case will come to a stalemate. It will not be possible to convict, and it will hurt feelings. The loss outweighs the gain!"

"What evidence do you have?" Wei Yulang asked.

Xu Zhen approached Wei Yulang and whispered the answer in his ear.

After hearing this, Wei Yulang frowned slowly. Indeed, as Xu Zhen said, this evidence is not very effective.

"Then..." Wei Yulang thought about it, pointing at Sang'er's body and said, "You have been preventing me from spreading the news of this lowly slave's death before, so how about we use her to make a fuss?

"Pretend she's alive and she told me all the truth?"

"No," Xu Zhen shook his head, "If Mrs. Wei tried to come in to check the situation during this period, this plan may be implemented.

"But she didn't come, so it can be explained that she understands the toxicity of the poison and is sure that Sonny will be poisoned to death. If we use Sonny to make a fuss, I'm afraid she won't be fooled!"

"Then what should we do?" Wei Yulang clenched his fists, "If she refuses to admit it, is there nothing I can do about it? My daughter can't die in vain, right?"

After saying this, Wei Yulang suddenly saw a wise light in Xu Zhen's eyes.

"Oh?" He asked hastily, "Do you have a solution?"

"Well," Xu Zhen nodded, and said, "But, it needs your high cooperation..."
