Warm fragrance cloud around

The first suspect is a wealthy businessman named Qian Sanwan.The industries of the Qian family and the Fu family often intersect. In order to attract customers, they fight each other for three days, and there are also many vicious competitions such as secretly tripping each other.

The shopkeeper of Fu’s shop gritted his teeth angrily when he talked about an old incident. At first they tried every means to make connections, and brought in a batch of brocade from other places, but they hadn’t officially put it up for sale. A few mice were thrown into the warehouse, and the exquisite cloth was full of holes, and in the end it was a loss of money.

In addition to secretly playing tricks, the Qian family and the Fu family brothers also had a lot of disputes on the surface, and they didn't even need any reason to quarrel.Last month, Fu Lang, the second master of the Fu family, had a big fight with Qian Sanwan on the street. The family members of both sides fought violently and almost attracted officers and soldiers. In the end, a passing official master couldn't see it and forced them to return. When he left, Qian Sanwan seemed to have left a few vicious curses such as "If you cut off your sons and grandchildren, you will not die well"—isn't this what happened to the Fu family now?

After hearing what the shopkeeper and his fellows said, Cheng Jiangyun immediately sent people to the Qian family to investigate, but everyone in the Qian family said that the master took his wife south to visit relatives ten days ago, and according to the plan, he would not be able to return to Beijing until early next month.People who are not in the capital can't commit the murder, at least he himself can't, and the suspicion of Qian Sanwan is temporarily cleared.

The second suspect is called Huang Laolai, an old rogue who is hated by people in the nearby streets and alleys. He does not do any serious business on weekdays. He specializes in blackmailing, sneaking and robbery, and other unscrupulous things. He is also particularly bullying. Those who robbed were old and weak women and children.

Huang Laolai and the Fu family have been feuding for a long time. At first, it was because he caused trouble in the restaurant of the Fu family, claiming that he ate cockroaches from the dishes, and he just wanted to waste some wine money.Generally, businessmen pay attention to making money with kindness, and they don't bother to make trouble when they meet such an unreasonable rascal like him. Huang Laolai was locked in the cell for more than half a month, and also suffered a lot.

Afterwards, Huang Laolai got into a fight with the Fu family.He is a little smart, he no longer brazenly makes trouble in the shop, so as not to be punished by the officers and soldiers, but encourages his cronies to do bad things outside the shop.Pretending to be crazy and selling fools to drive away customers is still a child's play, such as vomiting and diarrhea outside the restaurant while pinching the meal, and pouring feces on the main road outside the clothing store. Such disgusting things are not uncommon. in.

A servant of the Fu family saw Huang Laolai walking around the Fu residence a few days ago, shrinking his head and sneaking around. He seemed to have bad intentions.

Cheng Jiangyun immediately sent someone to investigate. Unfortunately, this investigation still failed. On the night of the incident, Huang Laolai gambled in the casino. After losing everything, he was stripped of his clothes by the casino owner and tied to the door for a night of cool breeze. It was impossible. Have time to go to Fu's house to kill people.

The third suspect can be said to have the strongest killing intent among these people. When the insider talked about it, he was less angry and more embarrassing.Kong Qingshan, a scholar who lives in a dilapidated house at the end of an alley, is so poor that his family is completely bare. "Scholar" is regarded as a joke by his neighbors. In fact, he has neither knowledge nor talent, nor any fame. He only knows a few words and has read a few words. It's just a book, and it's hard to make a living by copying letters and documents for others on weekdays, but it's full of words, pedantic Taoism.

Kong Qingshan has no family—he used to have one, but now he is alone.His wife passed away in his early years, leaving his daughter to live with him. Five years ago, her daughter also committed suicide at home.The daughter committed suicide because she was bullied by Fu Hao, the eldest son of the Fu family, and her friends. In Fu Hao's own words, "Seeing how pretty she looks, it's just a casual chat." For a young woman, those few rude words were enough to kill her.

The daughter committed suicide by herself, and no one can be held accountable. Although everyone has some sympathy for her, it's just a few sighs.After knowing the reason for his suicide, Kong Qingshan blocked the Fu family several times on the road, trying to get justice for his daughter, but his gentlemanly ways, which were written according to the script, could not be compared with the Fu family who dealt with customers all day long. The neighbors added a little after-dinner jokes.

After losing his daughter, Kong Qingshan seemed to be a little hysterical. Occasionally, he could be seen grabbing a child to study on the road, his hands were not serious, and sometimes he would scratch people.In this state of mind, he might have a sudden whim and break into Fu's house to kill someone.

When people from Dali Temple found Kong Qingshan, he was frantically circling a big banyan tree behind the house. His gray cloth long gown was covered with dirt, his eyes were absent-mindedly looking at the ground, and he was muttering and repeating a few articles. Do it, the world is for the public, select the virtuous and capable, trustworthy and harmonious...

Hearing the word "Fu's family", his body trembled, and just now he stopped to look at the person coming, and made a hoarse and cold voice like a crow's cry, "Kill, kill them all, haha, kill them all!" Good, good kill!" Ask him about the details, and he seems to have lost his mind again, muttering and repeating what he said before.

Kong Qingshan must know something about the murder case of Fu's family. Unfortunately, he is not in a state of being able to communicate rationally with others. In order to investigate the case, he must first find a doctor to treat him.Fu Hao heard the news from nowhere, firmly believed that Kong Qingshan was the murderer, asked Dali Temple to imprison him immediately, and even specially complained for uncle Chengyi who was imprisoned.

Uncle Chengyi's attitude towards Fu Hao is far less appreciative than his elder brother, and even complained in front of Lin Junnuan, such a person with a bad mind is not worth making friends with.These few days he lived quite happily in the cell of Dali Temple. Cheng Jiangyun greeted him early in the morning, and Lin Junnuan also spent money to "buy him". ordered.Uncle Chengyi also took it seriously, he just came to the prison to experience life, but he didn't talk about going home anymore.

After being fed the decoction for a few days, Kong Qingshan recovered a little bit of sanity, and even admitted straightforwardly that he was indeed the real culprit who killed the six members of the Fu family, and even the sequence of killings he confessed was exactly the same as Lin Junnuan's previous speculation.

"I have endured it for five years, why did I suddenly decide to kill him?" Cheng Jiangyun asked such a question when confronted in the hall.

Kong Qingshan bowed his head and remained silent. After a long time, he said softly: "My little girl dreamed about me, and I can't calm down."

Cheng Jiangyun glanced at his skinny body, "How did you subdue the strong Fu brothers?"

There was another long silence. After waiting for a while, Kong Qingshan didn't give any explanation. Perhaps because he couldn't explain it, he began to fall into hysteria again, repeating the killing process that he had explained before, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally turned into a pure roar. .

"I climbed over the wall and entered Fu's house. I saw all the Fu family gathered in the hall, laughing as if talking about something. They must be laughing at my lady... Those two women have the most hateful smiles, hateful! I must give Shu Niang seeks justice!...I went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, rushed into the hall, and chopped off those nasty faces...Kill, kill, kill them all!"

The doctor invited by Dali Temple tried to comfort him, but he grabbed his arm and bit him. In a state of madness, Kong Qingshan's skinny body also burst out with force that made people unable to escape. If he was in this state when he committed an attack, It is clear that the members of the Fu family failed to escape.

As soon as he went mad, the questioning could not continue. Although some people surrendered themselves, it is not impossible to close the case like this, but there are still several doubtful points that cannot be explained.

Who gave the drug in the Chengyibo wine bottle, what does the suicide note that fell on the scene of the murder represent, is Fu Hao who just rushed back to the capital the next day really innocent... There is a more crucial point According to Kong Qingshan's current mental state, it is indeed very possible to go mad and kill people, but it is unlikely that he will remember to take off his shoes and clean his clothes after the murder, and promise not to leave any blood on the way back. According to the testimony of neighbors, Kong Qingshan's The gray cloth gown has not been changed for several months, and it was the same on the day of the murder, so where did the blood stained during the murder go?

Lin Junnuan has been rushing in and out with people from Dali Temple these days to participate in the investigation. Although she really wanted to catch the real culprit and restore her father's complete innocence, her reason told her that she should not be easily confused by Kong Qingshan's confession. Maybe there is another mystery.

At this time, the tacit understanding between her and Cheng Jiangyun was revealed. There was almost no verbal communication between the two parties, and the meaning was understood with just a few eyes. "I also think that Kong Qingshan is not the murderer," Cheng Jiangyun said lightly.Look, the word "also" is used really well.

"If he wasn't the murderer, why did he plead guilty?" Lin Junnuan frowned and asked, as if talking to himself, "Is he taking the blame for the murderer? Could it be that the murderer is someone he wants to protect?"

However, according to the testimony of his neighbors, Kong Qingshan has been living in extreme solitude these past few years, without any relatives or friends visiting him. Is there really someone who would make him willing to bear the crime of beheading himself to protect him?

She recalled the murder process described by Kong Qingshan, and performed it over and over again in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was not like stating her own crime, but rather like describing a murder witnessed from the perspective of a bystander. , the murderer was doing for him what he wanted to do most.

"You said, the reason why Kong Qingshan pleaded guilty is because he hoped that the person would kill himself?" She thought about it and put forward her own opinion.

"Knowing that his daughter was wronged and even died because of it, but Kong Qingshan was cowardly and incompetent, and failed to punish the culprit. After witnessing the murder scene by chance, he assumed the role of the murderer himself, imagining that the one who punished the enemy quickly The murderer is actually me... Is there such a possibility?"

It makes sense, Cheng Jiangyun nodded in agreement, suddenly there was a noise outside, Fu Hao rushed into the room excitedly, "My lord, I found the evidence!"

He eagerly waved a blank piece of paper in his hand, "The previous suicide note was indeed forged by the boss and the second child, and the real suicide note is here!"
