Chapter 675 After the Murder

"Zhu Zi, what happened today is rotten in my stomach."

"I understand, Master Geng."

Su Yi, who had changed into a Zhongshan suit, leaned back in his chair with a slightly tired look and let out a long breath.

The process of killing Ma San seemed simple, but in fact Su Yi did his best. He was able to plan such an assassination on the spot and hide himself well. Su Yi felt that only when Sherlock Holmes and Conan came could they catch the murderer.

In fact, this plan was formed in Su Yi's mind when the duel began. At first, his plan was to pretend to miss in the duel and "accidentally kill" Ma San.

But there are too many disadvantages to doing so, and Su Yi didn't think Gong Baosen would be so short-sighted that he couldn't tell whether it was an accidental killing or a deliberate killing.

So he gave up killing Ma San on the spot and turned his thinking to what would happen if he hurt Ma San?

Su Yi was good at calculating and deducing people's hearts. As his thinking diverged, he suddenly realized that this was the best choice!

It is no exaggeration to say that Gong Baosen's reaction was completely within Su Yi's calculations. He guessed that Gong Baosen would most likely not accompany Ma San to see a doctor, and he also guessed that Lao Jiang or Gong Er, or even the two of them, would accompany Ma San together.

The compensation of one hundred dollars was also specially proposed by Su Yi in order to perfect his plan. With this one hundred dollars, this impromptu murder for money would be more convincing.

As for Lao Jiang and Ma San's separation, it was not within Su Yi's calculations. Su Yi was lurking in the clinic, actually intending to adapt to the situation. He was thinking about how to get rid of Lao Jiang, but he didn't expect Lao Jiang to leave by himself.

It can only be said that it was God's will, and luck was on Su Yi's side, which saved him a lot of trouble and sent Ma San on his way smoothly.

The only person who knew about the whole thing was Zhao Dezhu, but Zhao Dezhu was one of Su Yi's most trusted people.

Will Gong Baosen suspect Su Yi after learning that his apprentice was killed?

Maybe, but on the surface, Su Yi is not a suspect

Because Su Yi has no motive and no reason to do this.

The only reason is that Ma San called him "shameless".

But even so, Su Yi has already taken revenge. He dislocated Ma San's leg, which can be regarded as a lesson for Ma San.

Su Yi could have killed Ma San directly, but he didn't.

Su Yi could have crippled Ma San directly, but he didn't.

So what reason did Su Yi have to secretly kill Ma San after letting him go and giving him a compensation?

It doesn't make sense. He didn't need to do it at all.

No one would think it was justifiable no matter who he told this.

But no matter how perfect the crime was, it couldn't change the fact that Ma San only had a conflict with Su Yi in Tianjin.

Unless Gong Baosen and others believed that this was an accident of murder for money, as long as there was a trace of doubt and thought it was not an accident, they would still not be able to get around Su Yi, and would still suspect Su Yi, even if there was no evidence.

Sometimes people's intuition and intuition do not require logic and are completely unsolvable.

Not to mention, even if they really don't doubt Su Yi, at least if Su Yi is not there, Ma San will not die. Just based on this point, a rift that is difficult to reconcile has been planted between the Gong family father and daughter and Su Yi.

When Su Yi returned to her residence, Ma San's death was completely fermented.

The French Concession Police Station, the Gong family father and daughter, and Zheng Shan'ao were all present.

Gong Baosen looked at the body of his apprentice, as if he had aged ten years in an instant, hunched over, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Although Gong Er and Ma San's relationship was not very good, they were senior and junior brothers and sisters after all. She was not heartless, so how could she not be sad?

She hugged her father's arm and shed tears silently.

Lao Jiang's face was pale, and he murmured in a trembling voice: "Blame me... Blame me..."

Zheng Shan'ao looked solemn, and discussed the details of the murder case with Liao Xianyong, the chief Chinese policeman in the French Concession.

"The murderer is definitely a martial artist, ruthless and knows how to kill people." Liao Xianyong pointed to the wound on Ma San's neck, "Look here, once this large blood vessel is cut, the person will immediately lose consciousness and will not be able to react. All the blood in the body will spray out in the shortest possible time."

"And here." He then pointed to the wound in the heart, "Killed with one knife, so accurate! Do you know how difficult it is to miss the ribs and stab into the heart? If you hadn't killed many people, you wouldn't be able to do this."

"According to the traces at the scene, after the murderer walked in, he first cut Mr. Ma's large blood vessels with a knife, making him completely unable to resist. In order to prevent the blood from spraying everywhere and prevent Mr. Ma from making any sound, he blocked the wound on Mr. Ma's neck and mouth with a pillow in advance. Then he stabbed Mr. Ma's heart with a knife and killed him with one knife."

" Then he searched Mr. Ma and took away all his money and fled. "

"From these details, we can roughly infer that the murderer is a vicious bandit. Whether it is killing or robbing, he seems very experienced. This person must be a thief who has committed many bloody crimes and must be very short of money. You see, he didn't even let go of Mr. Ma's ring. But why did he rob in the clinic? Why did he target Mr. Ma? This is a bit strange..."

Speaking of this, Liao Xianyong said puzzledly: "The murderer's target is very clear. He came for Mr. Ma, so Mr. Ma must have been targeted by him in advance, but why? Did Mr. Ma have a lot of money on him?"

Lao Jiang on the side suddenly raised his head when he heard this, stared at Liao Xianyong and trembled: "One hundred dollars! A bag containing one hundred dollars was placed at the head of San'er's bed!"

Liao Xianyong clapped his hands and said speechlessly: "We are all old men in the world, don't you understand the principle of not showing off your wealth? Well, this is the reason!"

"It was me who harmed San'er! It was me who harmed San'er!" Old Jiang's face was pitiful and grief-stricken, "I shouldn't have asked him to put down the money, I should have insisted and let them take the money and get out! Why didn't I insist?"

"Jiang Fuxing!" Gong Baosen shouted, making Lao Jiang tremble all over.

"Master, it's all my fault! It was me who killed San'er!" Lao Jiang cried out with tears gushing out.

Gong Baosen's eyes were red, he held Lao Jiang's hand with both hands, and said slowly word by word: "I don't blame you, and San'er... I won't blame you either! Who can guarantee that he will not make any mistakes when he is in the world? This is fate, you have to accept it!”

Lao Jiang just cried, still unable to forgive himself.

Gong Baosen looked at Liao Xianyong and said to him, "Mr. Liao, in your opinion, is there anything fishy about this matter?"

Liao Xianyong looked at Ma San's body, then looked at the scene, and finally shook his head slowly and said: "Based on my experience, this should be an impromptu murder. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the enemy's revenge and disguise There is a possibility of making a fortune, it depends on whether Mr. Ma has offended anyone in Jinmen."

Liao Xianyong thought for a while and added: "If you really have an enemy, you should pay attention to two types of people. One is that the enemy is a Lianjiazi, and he is a ruthless person who has killed people and seen blood; the other is that the enemy is rich and powerful, Someone who can afford the first type of person.”

"Geng Liangchen!" Gong Er suddenly said the name and looked at Liao Xianyong, "My senior brother in Jinmen only offended Geng Liangchen! His legs were discounted by Geng Liangchen!"

This name was like a magic spell. The expressions of Liao Xianyong and Zheng Shanao suddenly froze, and the atmosphere instantly became weird.

"Who are you talking about?" Liao Xianyong looked at Gong Er in surprise, "Are you talking about Geng Liangchen, the leader of Jinmen Foot Industry?"

"Besides him, who else is Geng Liangchen?" Gong Er said, "My senior brother competed with him in martial arts and lost to him. However, my senior brother had spoken rudely to him before. He has a violent personality and may not be able to commit murder to vent his anger. Things are coming!”

"Geng Liangchen has a violent temper?" Liao Xianyong laughed dumbly, "Miss Gong, with all due respect, Geng Liangchen doesn't seem like the kind of person who kills people to vent his anger just for a dirty word. He... let me put it this way, if he really If he wants to kill your senior brother, he will definitely kill him openly and will never do it secretly. With his status and power in Jinmen, there is no need for him to do so. "

"How do you know he won't do this?" Gong Er asked.

"Everyone in Jinmen knows that he can't." Liao Xianyong said calmly, "Speaking of which, I and Geng Liangchen are enemies rather than friends, but even if we are enemies, I have to say that this man is an upright man and will definitely not do it. He is so narrow-minded that he kills people just because of a disagreement.”

At this point, Liao Xianyong paused and said, "But the fact that he broke your senior brother's leg...what did your senior brother do to him?"

Gong Er said no more words.

Gong Baosen slowly shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be him. If he wanted to kill Ma San, he would have a chance in Dengyinglou. If he wanted to vent his anger, he could have deposed Ma San at that time, but he didn't do that. Instead, his subordinates Show mercy."

Liao Xianyong's eyes rolled, guessing the whole story.

However, Gong Baosen stopped talking at this point, and just said to Liao Xianyong: "Mr. Liao, I leave my apprentice's affairs to you. Please be sure to find the perpetrator and give an explanation to the person who died in vain!"

"Don't worry, Master Gong, this is my responsibility, Liao will definitely go all out!" Liao Xianyong said seriously.

"My apprentice's body..."

"Tomorrow, go to the Flan Patrol Room to pick up the body tomorrow. Once the corpse has been inspected, you can take him away." Liao Xianyong said, "I have brought all the doctors and buddies from the clinic back to the Patrol Room. I will personally keep an eye on this body." Case, interrogate these people personally, and I will send someone to inform you as soon as there is any news or clues. "

"Thank you."

Gong Baosen cupped his hands again and walked out in despair. Gong Er and Lao Jiang hurriedly followed.

Zheng Shanao said to Liao Xianyong: "My uncle lives in my house, and Mr. Liao can also call me directly."

"Okay, definitely, definitely."

Outside the door, Gong Er asked: "Dad, do you really think that senior brother's death was an accident?"

Gong Baosen slowly shook his head: "Whether it was an accident or not, it doesn't matter anymore. It's best for the patrol room to find out whatever they can. If they can't find out... I, as the master, will give him an explanation."

At this moment, Zheng Shanao came out.

Gong Baosen glanced at him and said to Gong Er: "You and Fuxing go to the patrol room and keep a close watch. Don't let them mess with San'er's body. I'll talk to you, Senior Brother Zheng."

"Okay, dad..."

Looking at Gong Baosen and Zheng Shanao's leaving figures, Gong Er felt his nose sore.

Most of the suffering in this world comes so unexpectedly, leaving people defenseless and defenseless.

"Uncle Jiang, do you think it's Geng Liangchen?" Gong Er asked.

"It's not him." Lao Jiang shook his head, but immediately said bitterly: "But without him, San'er wouldn't have died!"

Gong Er stared blankly at the busy traffic in the distance and said: "I have never liked my senior brother very much. I think he is utilitarian and tacky. But since I was a child, my senior brother has never treated me badly. Every New Year, I give you the filial piety you give to my father. His gifts are never left behind. Whatever I ask him to do, he does it properly every time.”

"Brother probably knows that I don't like him, but he has always been the same to me. I used to think he was fake, but now I think maybe he just doesn't care about a little girl like me..."

"Uncle Jiang, do you think that only when someone dies can we remember his kindness?" Gong Er smiled, tears falling, "Speaking of which, I have never done anything for Brother in my life..."

Behind her, Old Jiang was already in tears.

In the moving car, Gong Baosen and Zheng Shan'ao were silent all the way.

They said they were talking on the road, but in fact, they had nothing to say.

Along the way, both of them were thinking about their own things.

Until the car stopped at the gate of the Zheng family mansion.

"Uncle, we're here."

Gong Baosen came back to his senses and looked at Zheng Shan'ao.

"Shananao, what year did you leave Guandong?" Gong Baosen suddenly asked.

Zheng Shan'ao was stunned and lost for a moment.

"The 31st year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu," Zheng Shan'ao said. "If we use the Western calendar, it would be 1905."

"Do you remember why you left Guandong that year?" Gong Baosen asked again.

Zheng Shan'ao was silent for a moment, and replied, "That year, our Bagua Sect suffered a great disaster because of the assassination of the five ministers who went abroad. All the disciples fled, leaving only Master Gong to support the situation in Guandong. Only then did the Xingyi Bagua Sect flourish today."

"That year, it snowed heavily, and many, many major events happened..." Gong Baosen said with emotion.

"The Luosha people and the Zhepeng people fought in Lushun, the Beiyang Six Towns New Army was trained, the Tongmenghui was established, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was built, Wu Yue failed to assassinate the five ministers and died in the revolution... All these things happened in the 31st year of the Guangxu period."

"That year, some people in our Bagua Sect also joined Wu Yue's Northern Assassination Group to assassinate the five ministers who went abroad, but unfortunately failed. Some died and some escaped. Zhang Yuting caught a Zhepeng wanderer named Bo Wugui and put him on the streets of Fengtian to kill innocent people indiscriminately to lure the Tongmenghui patriots into being deceived."

"This Bo Wugui was also a member of the Tongmenghui before, and knew a lot of secrets, but at that time he had gone crazy and became a crazy person who only knew how to kill. If this person is not dead, our Bagua Sect will have no foothold in Guandong, and the patriots of the Tongmenghui will never have peace, and the villagers who die under his knife every day will never rest in peace!"
