Chapter 1000 Liu Wei Clicked on These Two Pieces of Information

The old man had no choice but to touch the young man's head again and said, "Tell your Excellency."

The young man lowered his head and said: "One said, we agreed to three hundred taels per person, how come you got it all by yourself? The other said, I am the eldest brother, what's wrong with me taking care of the money? The other said , it is best to divide the money now, everyone goes their separate ways, and go their own way after getting off the boat."

"and after?"

"There will be no later."

Sima Xi frowned: "Didn't you hear what happened?"

The boy repeated: "There will be no future."

Sima Xi didn't understand and looked at the old man again.

The old man smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, my grandson has been deaf since he was a child. Later, he was treated by our local miracle doctor. After he recovered, his ears worked better than ordinary people. What he said is absolutely correct. If there is no future, it must be true. There is no later, but Xiaobing, please explain it more clearly, what happened in the end?"

"No one is talking anymore." The young man replied quietly, with a gentle tone: "The sound of the argument has disappeared."

In other words, they were noisy and suddenly shut up.

Or, died suddenly.

This is a little weird.

It stands to reason that if there is a dispute over money, there must be an outcome to the dispute. Should we fail to reach an agreement and then fight, or will we reach an agreement and start sharing the money? How can we get halfway through the argument and suddenly there is no follow-up?

Sima Xi was puzzled. After the final on-site investigation, he suggested that the old man and the young man temporarily live in the Yamen. Although he was not an eyewitness, the arguing that the young man heard should be the last words of the three deceased before their death. That's what I said.

Very investigative.

The young man seemed a little reluctant to live in the Yamen, and kept holding the old man's hand tightly.

Because Nanyang and others were on the same floor as the deceased, even though they seemed to be no suspects, they were still registered in the Luyin and Luojiao Inns. They must be found immediately when they need to look for them.

Nanyang was not in a hurry. The scientific examination was half a year away and he could stay in Qingzhou for a few more days. Therefore, he was very cooperative from beginning to end. Moreover, the inn where he stayed was very close to the government office, which satisfied the government officials who registered him.

This case is not a big one. First of all, the deceased were not powerful figures, but just three out-of-town villagers. Both the intensity of the investigation and the authority of the investigation were very large. In other words, as long as the clues are caught, the murderer can be found by following the clues without any worries. any external reasons.

Sima Xi thought very well at first and believed that this case was easy to investigate. But after three days, he felt that he had thought it easy.

In three days, not only was the murderer not found, but there was also something wrong with the body.

The corpse has changed color.

The man who was in charge of the inspection on the day of the incident came again. After seeing the discolored corpse, he was very confused and asked the government officer stupidly if it was handled improperly. Otherwise, why would a good corpse suddenly turn red?

This kind of red color was as if someone had poured red paint under their skin. It was very strangely red.

The government officials were innocent. The body was just placed in the morgue. How could it be handled improperly? The problem is that there is no one to dispose of the body.

In the end, neither party could find the reason, and the matter was reported to Sima Xi, who also fell silent.

Suddenly reaching this point, the case could not continue, and the body had undergone major changes, making the case become more complicated and confusing.

Sima Xi found the young man named Ji Bing again and asked him repeatedly if he heard any other sounds that night. He could tell him any sounds.

The young man has been asked countless times in the past three days. From his cooperation at the beginning to his impatience now, he is very unhappy and even a little angry: "That's all, I said it, nothing else."

Sima Xi still asked.

The young man simply stopped talking. Sima Xi had no choice but to ask the old man. The old man's answers were always the same. He didn't hear anything. His grandson said whatever he said, but he couldn't do anything if his grandson didn't cooperate. After all, this child had such a temper. stubborn.

Sima Xi returned without success. After he left, the young man's slightly childish voice sounded: "I regret it."

The old man touched the child's head and said nothing.

The young man pursed his lips: "I really shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Now that I'm locked up here, how can I get out?"

The old man said nothing and only asked the young man to sit down calmly.

The young man sat down, looking a little depressed, with a frown on his slightly serious face.

I don't know who this young man looks like.

"Once you've come, make peace with it. Things have been lost for a long time, and you can't find them just by looking for them. You don't need to worry too much."

"But..." The young man wanted to say something more, but the old man interrupted him, held him down, and asked him to have a good rest.

The young man had no choice but to keep his mouth shut, but his heart still felt uneasy.

At first, the body was only red and discolored, but the next day, yellow, foul-smelling pus began to spread from the mouth and nose of the deceased.

At this point, Sima Xi could no longer comfort himself. He knew that there was really something wrong with the body.

If there is something wrong with the body, it means that there may be something wrong with the cause of death. From the beginning, Wu Zuo swore that the deceased was hacked to death with a knife, but now he is beginning to hesitate.

After Sima Xi returned home at night, he was still worried about this matter.

Mrs. Sima, however, was smart and said directly: "Isn't the Third Prince still in Qingzhou? Captain Zhengemen, how many cases have passed through his hands."

Sima Xi shook his head: "Why bother the prince with such a trivial matter? Besides, the prince is very busy these days."

Madam Sima didn't ask what she was busy with, but instead asked: "What about Liu Sizuo?"

Sima Xi actually thought of Master Liu. After confirming that the three deceased people were indeed from Qujiang Mansion, he thought of Master Liu.

But he was really not sure about that person's temperament. Seeing how he had tortured the young masters in the prison, his unyielding and unyielding attitude made him unwilling to deal with him.

Mrs. Sima knew her husband-in-law and knew that he had some bad habits as a scholar, so she told him: "The case is serious, and it is better than the current situation of being neither good nor bad."

That's what I say, but in the end...

Sima Xi waved his hand and shook his dizzy head: "Let me think about it again."

I thought about this all night, and the next day, Sima Xi appeared at the door of the post house.

After Liu Wei finished his breakfast, he was planning to take Liu Moyi to walk around the prison to have some fun, when he saw Mr. Fu Yin with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment and said hello in a good mood: "Master Sima, are you looking for the third prince again? He is on the second floor."

Sima Xi didn't reply, he just pursed his lips and frowned at Liu Wei.

The look in his eyes was so weird that before Liu Wei said anything, Liu Moyi had already stood up and straightened his back to block her sister.

When Liu Wei saw him, he felt extremely happy. He pulled his brother's sleeves and said, "It's okay."

Liu Mo had a bad impression of Master Sima. The main reason was that when he was sentenced, it was this Qingzhou Prefect who convicted him. Therefore, when he met him now, his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

Sima Xi also knew that his identity was sensitive, so he didn't offer any explanation. He looked at Liu Wei, exhaled a long breath, and said with all his might, "A case has come up in the Yamen recently, and I would like to invite Mr. Liu to go and investigate."

Liu Wei: "Me?"

Sima Xi suppressed a blush and nodded dully.

Liu Wei didn't want to get involved, but after Sima Xi briefly explained the case, Liu Wei felt that she had to go if she didn't want to.

"Three brothers, are you from Qujiang Mansion?" Liu Wei clicked on these two pieces of information, and a chill flashed through his eyes: "Maybe they are old acquaintances, please lead the way."
