Chapter 1028 No One Is Special, Don’t Rush to Complain
Liu Wei left the cell with a headache.
Rong Leng was waiting for her outside. When he saw her, he saw her pinching her eyebrows.
Worried that her body was suffocating due to the poor environment in the prison, Rong Leng stepped forward, took her hand and rubbed it for her himself.
Liu Wei closed her eyes and let him knead her, then asked, "Aren't you back at the inn?"
"Send someone." Rong Leng asked her again: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Liu Wei waved her hand and said it was okay, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Fu Zichen."
This morning, I haven't seen Fu Zichen yet.
Rong Len's face darkened slightly, and his voice suddenly became colder: "I don't know."
Liu Wei glanced at him, smiled, and explained: "I was asking him about the case."
Rong Leng put down his hand and said in a cool tone: "The case is not urgent. If you don't feel well, go back and rest first."
Liu Wei shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's not that serious, it's just temporary..."
"Master Liu, something happened..."
Before Liu Wei finished speaking, a government servant ran over from a distance and said to Liu Wei breathlessly: "Someone reported to the official outside that another person died. Master Sima asked the younger one to come and invite Master Liu. Please invite Master." Go to the lobby quickly."
Liu Wei was not from Qingzhou Prefecture. Although she promised Sima Xi to help him solve the case of the three Mu brothers, it was only for that one case.
If a murder occurred elsewhere, what does it have to do with her?
"What's going on?" Liu Wei didn't move in a hurry and asked with a frown.
The yamen servant looked at Liu Wei, then at the third prince next to him, and said nervously: "Two corpses were found outside the Qianxifang gate in Liulian Lane this morning. After inspection, they were both girls from a little red market. One was named Lu Yan. One is called Hongzhuang. Yesterday we took a bold trip to Liulian Alley and found a suspicious person in the backyard of Qianxifang. Therefore, Mr. Fu Yin did not dare to make the final decision on these two corpses. Mr. Liu was specially invited to go and have a look. , to determine whether it is related to yesterday’s incident.”
Qianxifang, Yidianhong, one of the people behind it is Fu Ziyan, the other person behind it is Fu Hongmei, and now two more people are dead...
Liu Wei quickly looked at Rong Leng.
Rong Leng was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other. They both knew that this matter was probably closely related to what happened yesterday.
"Go and take a look first," Rong Leng said.
Liu Wei said "Yes" and asked the Yamen servant to lead the way.
Because the report was a serious matter, the body was carried directly to the front hall. The reporter was the Madam of Qianxifang, who was kneeling under the hall and explained the entire process of discovering the body.
When Liu Wei left, Sima Xi was still interrogating.
Seeing Liu Weilai, Sima Xi made some gestures and asked her to speak.
Liu Wei walked down the hall, looked at the old bustard condescendingly, looked around the old bustard, and asked: "Is this the body you found?"
The old bustard raised his head and glanced at Liu Wei, as if he recognized this person as the man who had made the couplet with a white heart yesterday, and hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Sir, the little girl in the building found it. The little girl had to get up early. I went out to buy groceries. When I went there, I walked through the back door. When I came back, I walked through the front door, and then I saw..."
Liu Wei asked again: "About what time it is."
The old bustard said: "It's time."
Liu Wei raised his eyebrows: "So late? According to what you said, the body was at the intersection of the street. Two people like this were lying on the ground, and no one else noticed it?"
The old bustard laughed dryly: "Sir, you are joking. Our Wandering Alley is different from other streets outside. Our entire street is full of sensuality. Not to mention this street, it is the two streets connected in front. These are Early in the morning, it must be deserted...In the afternoon, there will be more guests..."
Liu Wei looked at the two shelves next to them, lifted the white cloth, and saw two corpses.
The two were girls, with pierced ears and rouge, but they were wearing men's clothing.
The two men's deaths were not ugly, except that their faces were whiter and their lips were bluer, as if they were asleep. There were no superficial injuries on the corpses. Anyone who didn't look at them would not think that these two people were dead unless they felt their breath.
"A little popular person?" Liu Wei looked at the madam: "Do you recognize him?"
The old bustard pointed to the female corpse on the left: "This one is called Lv Yan." Then he pointed to the one on the right: "This one is called Hongzhuang. Lv Yan is a little red welcoming door. We often see her when we come and go. We don't have any friendship, but we are familiar faces. , As for this Hongzhuang, I didn’t recognize it before, but it has become a bit popular recently. It seems that I heard that it was a profit from the boss Hong of Dianhong. She learned to deal with many chores of Dianhong. I heard that the boss Hong noticed her carefulness. Also, I want to train her to be a steward."
Liu Wei asked: "She Dianhong wants to hire someone to be the manager. You are from another building, but you remember clearly?"
The old bustard was afraid that Liu Wei would misunderstand, so he quickly said: "My lord, you don't know. Our whole street is full of buildings, and there must be people coming and going. Of course, the most coming and going is which family's girl was poached by another family, or who A girl from my family stole a regular customer from another family. Just seven or eight days ago, a girl from our Qianxifang had a regular customer, and she was taken away by Dian Hong. Our girl had a bad temper and didn't understand the rules, so she went behind my back. They came to her door, and Yidianhong sent someone to come out to talk with her, it was the girl with red makeup, so even after many days, the woman still recognized the face of the girl with red makeup."
Liu Wei squeezed Hongzhuang's hand, observed it carefully, and continued to ask the madam: "So, you Qianxifang still have an old grudge with Yidian Hong?"
The old madam panicked: "Well, how can this be regarded as an old grudge? Your Excellency knows this. This matter is just a misunderstanding. It's just two girls being jealous. It can't be said to be a feud between the two buildings. Besides, After that, the popular boss Hong personally came to Qianxifang once. The matter has been settled long ago, so how come so many days have passed? There is absolutely no way that we can bring up the old matter again..."
Liu Wei saw that the madam was speaking in a hurry, and the look in her eyes was indeed not lying, so she waved her hand to shut her up.
The madam didn't dare to say anything, so she just kept her mouth shut.
People always found her outside her shop. She was afraid of being implicated, and even more afraid of affecting Qianxifang's business, so she always behaved and answered all questions.
Liu Wei checked Hongzhuang's hands and neck, but found no fatal injuries. However, she found obvious signs of a rope being strangled on Lu Yan's neck.
After touching the red part, Liu Wei clapped her hands, stood up and ordered: "Send the body to the back."
Sima Xi waved his hand and motioned for the Yamen servant to do it.
Four government officials came over and carried the person away with a frame.
Liu Wei looked at the madam again: "You are the one who reported the crime, but since the body was found outside the gate of Qianxifang, then all of you in Qianxifang are also considered suspects..."
"Sir, sir, what do you mean by this? We are all honest people, and we are all a group of women. How can we do anything murderous? You really mean it when you say that..."
Liu Wei interrupted the madam's explanation: "Until the murderer is caught, everyone is a suspect. Not just you, but everyone in the entire Wandering Alley who has any relationship or contact with them is a suspect. No one is special." Yeah, don’t be in a hurry to cry out for injustice.”
