Jianghu Case: Female Psychologist

Chapter 33

Su Xiaopei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "May I ask if the second young lady and the eldest lady look alike?" She had never seen the corpse, so she didn't know what the eldest lady looked like.

Sima Wanru was taken aback, she asked a question instead when asked her to speak?She was displeased, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, it was hard to get angry, so she answered stiffly: "Yes."

Su Xiaopei nodded, and said again: "Second Miss is beautiful and generous, with a straightforward personality, must my sister be like this?"

She didn't talk about business, but flattered and talked like a daily routine?
Everyone was puzzled, Master Sima was a little impatient, but Su Xiaopei spoke softly, kept his posture low, and praised his daughter, he hesitated in his heart, and endured it.

Sima Wanru bit her lip, and replied coldly: "Sister is better than me." After saying this, it seemed to arouse sadness, but finally the word "good" choked up.

Mrs. Sima held her hand, and took the conversation: "Qing'er is gentle and considerate, and her body is weaker. Ru'er loves martial arts, and Qing'er also clamors to learn, but she is not in good health, so she can't be like Ru'er. Ru'er My son learns art from a teacher, and Qing'er often studies at home, and in the past few years, my health has improved." The more she said, the more sad she became, Madam Sima's eyes turned red.

"What are you talking about?" Master Sima finally couldn't hold back, and scolded his wife.

Mrs. Sima was drunk by this, and kept her mouth shut.

Su Xiaopei didn't mind either, she nodded and said: "Master Sima, madam, the Eldest Miss and the Second Miss are similar in appearance, but their physical condition, personality and behavior are different. If the maid comes to report that the Miss is sick, you may be the last The first thing you think of is that the eldest lady is sick because she is not in good health, but if it is reported that the young lady beat someone outside, the first thing you think of may be that the second lady did it."

Ran Feize coughed lightly, and it was really inappropriate to give an example of another lady fighting outside.

Su Xiaopei was reminded by him, and knew that there must be something wrong in the words, but it's not good if she didn't realize it for a while, but she quickly turned the conversation away, and continued: "I don't know which of the two ladies is better at embroidering and cooking. Good. But whatever it is, when it happens, Mrs. Madam can use what she knows about her daughters to judge who did it. Maybe not 100%... I mean, maybe [-]% accurate, but there are roots There is evidence, there is a certain degree of certainty.”

Master Sima frowned, somewhat confused about what she said had anything to do with the case.

"To give an inappropriate example, if, I mean if, the young lady is eager to practice martial arts like a younger sister, but the master and wife disagree, so one day the young lady leaves home, according to the situation before the young lady left home Behavior and manners, Mrs. Madam can find her on the way to learn from Second Miss. And if a maid says that her mother is seriously ill, but the rules of the house do not allow her to go home, one day this maid disappears, Mrs. Madam sends If people go to her house to look for it, they will be able to find it nine out of ten, she just wants to see her mother."

Su Xiaopei spoke slowly, and the volume of his speech was so inducing that everyone listened carefully without realizing it.

"Everyone, what they do, what they say, has something to judge. Where they go is related to their desires. Miss wants to practice martial arts, so she can't be found at the maid's house, maid. If you want to visit your mother, you can’t find it in the place where the second miss learns art. Master and madam, looking for the whereabouts of the villain is the same. We can only judge him by distinguishing whether he is a miss or a maid. Where he is going, and knowing where he is going, can we lay out plans along the way, intercept and capture people."

There was silence in the room, and no one spoke, but everyone understood. The words were simple, but the things were clear.

Master Sima choked for a moment, and finally said: "Now that we know who he is, where are the girls and adults planning to capture him?"

"No, we don't know who he is." Su Xiaopei said clearly: "What Master Qin and Ran Zhuangshi said just now is actually just a simple one. The one who killed Miss was not the serial criminal."

This remark shocked four people, and everyone was moved and surprised.

Qin catcher turned his head and looked over, did he mean that just now?He never said that Ma Zhengyuan was not the one who killed Miss Sima.

Su Xiaopei said: "In the past cases, the criminals were vicious and aimed at humiliating and humiliating, but in the case of the young lady, the sword pierced the heart, and the attack was quick. It can be said that maybe the murderer didn't want her to suffer too much. The young lady knows martial arts, no Struggling to resist, either she was restrained, or she knew the murderer, and she didn't know that he would attack, so she was unprepared. Just now Master Qin and Ran Zhuangshi said a lot about the difference between the murderer's behavior and previous cases, so I will not Let me talk more. Let me just say one more thing. I heard from the servant girl that when she found out that her clothes were disheveled, but only the waist belt was removed and the front of the clothes was pulled open, not a single bit of skin was exposed. So in fact, the clothes are really just disheveled. This shows that Well, the murderer didn't want to humiliate her, what he wanted was the death of the eldest lady."

The members of the Sima family were dumbfounded, and the officials never expected that she would have such a guess.

"The murderer this time is not the same person as the serial criminal. The only thing he did was the same as the serial criminal. He cut off the lady's hair. This action shows that he wants to set the blame on him. Nowadays, rewards are flying all over the sky, and everyone knows There is a villain who kills without batting an eyelid and only picks on the rich lady. As for the details of the case, it should be the same as the rumors about me—there are rumors in the market. The actions of this criminal, such as killing the young lady, cutting her hair, and messing up her clothes, everyone will think that this serial criminal did it. He can easily get away. It’s just that it’s easy to cut hair, but it’s not easy to insult an innocent and weak woman. Anyone can do it, so he learned superficial skills, and he thought he could hide it like this."

Master Sima gritted his teeth and said nothing. He actually thought this analysis made sense.But if this is the case, it means that the villain did not choose his target at random, but aimed at his daughter?Aiming at his Sima family?

"What you said is true?" Sima Wanru asked tremblingly, her hands clenched into fists.

"About this point, I can assure you." Su Xiaopei's tone was extremely firm. "The maid wants to pretend to be a lady, so she can change her clothes and learn to speak, but she can't hide her inner bearing and knowledge. Criminals want to imitate criminals, it's okay, but they can't hide their criminal heart. Their desires are different. They can What you do is different.”

"So, is there someone else?" Master Sima finally asked.

"Indeed." Qin Tutou replied, he believed Su Xiaopei's words!
"So we can't be fooled by the assumption that he is a serial criminal. Everything has to be re-deduced." Su Xiaopei strikes while the iron is hot.

Qin catcher nodded, and took the conversation back: "Master Sima, the servants at home, the guests, the friends that the lady has been with, whether the lady has any grievances with others, whether there is any enmity in your house, and everything that may be involved. Master Sima, please think about it."

"My son!" Mrs. Sima came to her senses at this moment, covering her mouth and crying again.Sima Wanru supported her, stroking and comforting her.

Master Sima couldn't think of it for a while, his brows were furrowed, and his heart was in a mess.

Fu Yin comforted them and asked them to think about it again, and immediately ordered the Sima Mansion to be locked up, and the servants and people who entered and exited were strictly inspected.Qin Butou and the others discussed a few words, and decided to go back to the Yamen to discuss with each other first, and then report any news in the Sima Mansion at any time.

A group of people headed back in a mighty manner, Sima Wanru stared at Su Xiaopei's back, and bit her lip.

Su Xiaopei thought that when he returned to the yamen, Qin Butou and the others would have to discuss the case with himself and Ran Feize, but they didn't.

Qin Tutou and Fu Yin closed the door and went to a small meeting by themselves.This poured cold water on Su Xiaopei. She was full of enthusiasm and wanted to solve the case quickly, but people ignored her.

But Ran Feize didn't mind, he knew that there were ways in the officialdom, he and Su Xiaopei were outsiders, so the governor and chief arrester would naturally have to discuss what to do.He comforted Su Xiaopei and said that this is also good, they can go shopping in the market first.

"A strong man has money to go shopping?" She still remembered his fifteen copper coins.

"You can go shopping without money, and gain a lot of knowledge." Ran Feize replied solemnly.

Su Xiaopei's face turned dark. Is this person saying that she is ignorant?
Bai Yulang leaned over and asked, "Sister, is this your first time entering the city?"

Su Xiaopei's face was really dark this time, and she answered stiffly: "Yes." It was really the first time for her to enter the "city"!
"Uncle Ran is right. If you don't have money, it's good to have a look. You'll learn more. Anyway, Ning'an City is also a big city. There are many things that are not available in the countryside."

What a warm-hearted little policeman, Su Xiaopei didn't have the energy to talk to him.

In the end, I didn't go shopping in the market, and the two poor ghosts and a decent civil servant went back to the inn for lunch.Under Ran Feize's intentional or unintentional hints, the policeman Bai Yulang quickly took it out of his pocket.

Su Xiaopei was very happy, she felt really comfortable and happy to take advantage of others with Ran Feize.

At the banquet, the person who was taken advantage of asked her: "Sister, are you so sure that it wasn't Ma Zhengyuan who killed Miss Sima?"

"Yes." Su Xiaopei answered readily.

"But if you guessed wrong?" Su Xiaopei gave Bai Yulang a blank look, and changed his words: "If the criminal has not been caught, the Sima family will blame it and say that the eldest sister guessed wrong?"

Well, there is a possibility.Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize.

Ran Feize wasn't bothered at all: "It's the government's job to solve cases and catch thieves, so what have we got to do with ordinary people like us?"

Can you clean it up?Su Xiaopei looked at him suspiciously.

Ran Feize grinned: "I and other small people are just offering advice, and the officials and adults are just relying on their own ability to solve cases and arrest thieves. If you really want to wrong us, we will run away."

run?So shameless and irresponsible!
"Uncle Ran!" Bai Yulang called out, disapproving.

Ran Feize blinked, and said to Su Xiaopei: "You can leave as soon as you carry the burden, and you don't have to pay the rent. It's very fast."

"Then take me with you."

"Of course." Ran Feize completely pretended that Bai Yulang didn't exist, "I brought the girl here, so I will take the girl away naturally. We can go to Baijiazhuang first, then with the support of my old friend, the officials can't do anything to us."

Bai Yulang was beside him with a sullen face.Uncle, can the son of the old man sit by the side?And paid for your meal.

Su Xiaopei looked amused by Bai Yulang's behavior, and laughed out loud, "That's great, let's do it like this. A strong man is really righteous!"

"Of course." Ran Feize said solemnly, "When the official dismisses, whether to send the girl to the nunnery or to pay the favor in Baijiazhuang is another matter."

"Hello!" Why did he turn against her again in a blink of an eye?Su Xiaopei raised eyebrows and raised eyes.

"The girl yelled again." Ran Feize still had a serious face, "It's indecent, don't do it in the future."

Hahahaha, this time it was Bai Yulang who smiled, Su Xiaopei glared at him, and then wanted to glare at Ran Feize, his eyes were really busy.

The three of them laughed and quarreled for a while, and when the meal was over, Catcher Qin sent someone to summon Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize to discuss matters in the yamen.

Su Xiaopei and the three walked to the next door again.Su Xiaopei thought that it was time to discuss how to pursue the murderer, so he straightened his face before entering the door, and calculated the details of the case in his mind.

After entering the door, Qin Dezheng really had a serious face, and said straight to the point, he had discussed with the governor, and there was indeed something strange about this case, and nine out of ten it was what Su Xiaopei speculated, so next, they will adjust For the direction of the investigation, both cases must be paid close attention to. He hoped that Su Xiaopei could continue to participate and analyze more clues to help them catch both criminals.

Su Xiaopei nodded, and was about to express his determination to do a good job, but Ran Feize interjected: "My lord, in the case of Ma Zhengyuan, those who provide useful clues will be rewarded with five taels of silver. Although they have not been caught yet, the clues provided by Miss Su and I But it’s not just as simple as being effective, now that the Sima Mansion case is added, the two cases will be merged, let’s talk about the reward.”

Qin Dezheng was stunned, he was all focused on the case, how could he have thought about the vulgar things that are not worth money?But when Ran Feize mentioned this, he thought it was right, and quickly agreed: "The five taels of silver reward will certainly be honored, please rest assured, Ran Zhuang."

Su Xiaopei was overjoyed, but Ran Feize looked embarrassed: "My lord, you provided five taels of silver for clues, but now, it's not as simple as pointing out where the person is. My lord is overwhelmed by a strange case here, and we are obliged to wait, but ordinary people and ordinary things also need accommodation and food, and five taels of silver is indeed inappropriate."

Qin Dezheng was stunned again, he was good at handling cases, and he was really bad at bargaining, and who would have expected that when talking about such a serious and just matter of catching the murderer, someone would talk about such vulgar things as money?

Su Xiaopei's spirit was lifted.

Sit down and start the price!The strong man is really cool!talent!
She quickly sat upright and nodded vigorously.

Qin De was looking at Su Xiaopei, then at Ran Feize, and asked helplessly, "How much is appropriate?"

"15 taels."

"50 taels!"

Su Xiaopei and Ran Feize answered at the same time, but what Ran Feize said made Su Xiaopei almost bite his tongue.

Before she opened her mouth, she hesitated for a quarter of a second whether it would be too much to increase the price by three times, but after looking at others, she directly shouted for ten times!
Sure enough, he is a strong man!
Su Xiaopei looked at Ran Feize's upright and calm face when he offered the black price, and he was glad that his voice was relatively quiet because of embarrassment just now, and now there is still time to make amends.

She turned to Qin Butou and repeated: "50 taels."
