Chapter 554 Find the Murderer
"What clues did you find?" Zheng Yi asked.

Pei Zhan shook his head: "I just got here, not yet."

Zheng Yi said to him: "This is the position where Yang Jian fell to the ground, it's like this..."

He gave a simple demonstration: "With his back to the door, that is to say, he was stabbed to death from behind without any defense, and your friend, who was a stranger to him, suddenly visited him late at night. If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to open the door for him, let alone turn my back to him."

Pei Zhan exclaimed: "Sir, what do you mean, the murderer is an acquaintance?"

Zheng Yi glanced at him and continued: "This is just my speculation and cannot be used as evidence in court. According to the time your friend came and the words of the witnesses outside, he still cannot be cleared of suspicion."

Zheng Yi suddenly looked up at Pei Zhan: "If there is anything you haven't said yet, you'd better tell me, otherwise your friend will be used as a scapegoat."

Li Hui "..."

Are all corrupt officials so arrogant these days?
Pei Zhan was very calm and told his findings without reservation.

"So what you mean is..."

Pei Zhan nodded: "It's just a guess. The details can't be verified until adults catch the prisoner."

In the case of Merchant Yang, rumors soon spread in the town that the murderer was caught, and it was He Liang.

No one knew what to say, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.

Tao Zhen glanced at Pei Zhan and saw that he was calm, so she was no longer worried.

Within a few days, the matter of buying horses by a businessman named Zhang broke out. In addition to He Liang, many people were deceived. Everyone wanted to pull Zhang Mingxi out and whip his corpse. Unfortunately, this man had been running away for a few days, and he and Hu People still have connections, and it’s not that easy to catch.

Everyone was noisy and could only admit that they were unlucky. Li Hui sighed. Wang San was a little sympathetic. He felt that Li Hui must have been hit.After all, he really lost his friendship and money this time.

Li Hui looked at Wang San, speechless and didn't know what to say.

Just after the money fraud incident broke out, He Liang was taken away by the government officials and left Shanxi Town. Shanxi Town seemed to have returned to peace.

Not long after, Wang San ran in from outside, panting and sweating profusely: "Caught...the murderer was caught..."

Lin Shu said: "Hasn't the murderer been caught long ago?"

Wang San shook his head: "It's not Brother He, it's the real murderer."

Li Hui had long known that this was a game, but he couldn't say that it was really hard to hold it in.Now that he could finally talk about it, he pulled Lin Shu and Wang San aside and talked about it.

He Liang was released the next day. He was very depressed, but he was still in good spirits. When he saw Pei Zhan, he solemnly thanked him and said that his life would belong to Pei Zhan from now on, and he would go through fire and water from now on. , without hesitation.

Things are not complicated.

It was the merchant named Zhang who killed Yang Jian. It was later found out that that person was not Zhang Mingxi at all.The real Zhang Mingxi was killed on the way here.

Because there were goods to be transported, Zhang Mingxi's team was short of manpower, so they hired some coolies on the way. These coolies were not real coolies, they were desperadoes who had committed crimes and had no choice. They had already targeted Zhang Mingxi and took advantage of the opportunity. He sneaked into his team and killed him, but he didn't expect that all Zhang Mingxi's money was spent on the goods, and he didn't bring much with him.

So these daring desperadoes took advantage of the fact that Zhang Mingxi was coming to Yanbei for the first time and not many people had seen him. They pretended to be him and came to Shanxi Town, where they wanted to exchange the goods for money.The result was extremely smooth. Not only did no one suspect him, but some people even fawned over him. A few gangsters became bolder and wanted to make a big fortune, so they teamed up with a few barbarians to stage a fairy dance. It was originally very smooth. The only change was that this businessman named Yang Jian was from the same hometown as Zhang Mingxi and had met several times. He heard that Zhang Mingxi wanted to buy a horse, so he went there, but what he saw was a stranger.

Yang Jian's first reaction was not that Zhang Mingxi had been killed and replaced, but that there was a liar or someone with the same name, so he tentatively talked about the peonies blooming in Luoyang. The robbers had never been to Luoyang, so they naturally didn't know. When the peonies will bloom, Yang Jian just said a few words casually and felt something was wrong.

But he still didn't think about the worst outcome. The robbers had a guilty conscience and knew that Yang Jian would expose them sooner or later, so they simply killed Yang Jian without stopping and ran away.

Yang Jian had his back to the door at that time, not because an acquaintance committed the crime, but because he felt danger. He wanted to run into the house, but failed and was stabbed from behind.

He Liang was also unlucky. He was the first to find out that he had been defrauded of money, so he went to find Yang Jian.

"That's what happened!" Pei Zhan said: "These people are not Chen Wumao's people at all. They killed Yang Jian and didn't know that He Liang had been there, so they spread it around the city and it was Chen Wumao's doing. On the contrary, it was self-defeating. "

Pei Zhan suspected that the robbers they saw outside the city before were also the same group, committing crimes in the name of Chen Wumao.

Tao Zhen said after a while: "This case is not simple either. Did the court send an expert?"

Detectives in such remote areas simply cannot handle such a complicated case. At most, they will find He Liangna dead.

Pei Zhan smiled and said, "It's an adult here. He doesn't look like he's from the local area."

Pei Zhan had never heard of Zheng Yi before, but it was not easy to see this person, and the two people following him were also masters. It seems that when he said that an acquaintance committed the crime, he was also deliberately testing Pei Zhan.

He Liangjing lost all his money and almost lost his life due to this incident, so he became quiet and said he would follow Pei Zhan.

Li Hui lost half of the money.I feel more at ease and no longer think about messy things.

Tao Zhen went to Brother Lu to discuss the salt business. She would eat part of it, but the quantity in Baishi City was large. If it was to be shipped to other countries, Brother Lu's people would still be needed.

When Brother Lu heard what Tao Zhen said, he didn't show much excitement. He just asked: "Is it reliable? Selling private salt will cost you your head."

Tao Zhen sat opposite him: "I have considered what you said. According to Dashun's law..."

Tao Zhen said calmly: "I have a way to circumvent it so that the court can't catch the mistake. As for the matter of selling it to other countries, let's find a way to circumvent it."

Brother Lu put down the mirror in his hand and finally became interested: "How do you say it?"

Tao Zhen said: "What I mean is, it doesn't matter if you make less. We don't go into other countries. We find a few reliable partners in other countries. We act as middlemen to make the difference. Now Baishi City trusts us the most and is only willing to sell to Instead of going to other countries to open markets, we can avoid most risks and still make money."

Brother Lu nodded.

He then smiled and said, "Actually, you can do this business yourself."

Tao Zhen said: "You have helped me so much. If you have money, of course we all work together. And I am not familiar with the north and transportation. Businessmen from other countries still want you to find it, and also want you to transport and sell it."

The two discussed the specific matters and what to do if they were in danger. Tao Zhen had planned it before he came. Brother Lu was also very smart, so the two hit it off.

Brother Lu went to find someone, and Tao Zhen made arrangements for Baishi City.
