Chapter 289: Spring Outing Kidnapping Incident (Part 2)
Take your son to Shuntian Prefecture to discuss the case?
Although Ma Chunfeng had a bad feeling in his heart, he couldn't help but get furious when he heard Sun Shaozong say this.
He asked Sun Shaozong to investigate the case in order to save his son, not to send his son to be executed in Shuntian Prefecture!
So the old man threw his sleeves and shouted with his hair and beard standing up: "Master Sun, I don't understand what you are saying! How dare you conclude that my son is related to the case three years ago based on just a few words and groundless speculations?!"
The first few sentences are quite powerful.
But the last sentence, 'related to a case three years ago', exposed his true thoughts - Sun Shaozong just said that Ma Yingjue was involved in the case, but did not specify that it was a case that happened three years ago.
Sun Shaozong snorted and laughed, "With Lord Ma's experience, after listening to what the young lady said just now, is there anything you don't understand? That night, your son clearly imagined the young lady to be a woman who was constantly resisting, and the final act of strangling her..."
"Zhao Wuwei!"
He suddenly raised his breath and called out, and Zhao Wuwei rushed in, bowed and said, "Master, what do you want?"
Sun Shaozong still stared at Ma Chunfeng and asked calmly, "Let me ask you, at the end of March three years ago, did a woman who went out of town for an outing go missing?"
"some!"
Zhao Wuwei recalled for a moment and immediately nodded, "The fifteen-year-old daughter of Zhang the locksmith from North City was traveling with her sisters. She fell behind because she was too obsessed with the scenery and has been missing since then."
"It was not until more than ten days later that several wild dogs dug her body out of the ground and confirmed that she had been murdered."
Sun Shaozong asked again: "She was strangled to death by someone?"
"Exactly!"
"The murderer is left-handed?!"
"Yes, yes, that's what Old Xu said at the time. However, there were so many people going out of town during that time, and more than ten days had passed when the body was found, so there was really no way to investigate."
As the two asked and answered each other, Ma Chunfeng's face became more and more ugly. However, as a father, how could he accept the fact that his son had raped and killed a woman?
So after hearing the last part, he still stiffened his neck and sneered, "So what? Can an ambiguous statement prove that my son is the murderer? "
"It has not yet proven anything."
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "But the word 'suspect' cannot be denied, right? That's why I said I would take him back to Shuntian Prefecture to discuss it, instead of arresting him directly."
"you……"
“Alright, alright!”
Fu Shi, who was standing aside, saw that the two were getting more and more arguing, so he stepped out to smooth things over and said, "What Ying Jue did three years ago is not important at the moment. What is important is how to rescue him from the kidnappers!"
Then, he couldn't help but question, "Master Sun, you questioned my sister for such a long time just now, weren't you just trying to bring up an old case from three years ago?"
Sun Shaozong spread his hands and said, "Have you forgotten that Judge Fu said this might be a serial murder? Before the crime, Master Ma became very excited two days in advance, and despite the cold weather and few people around, he insisted on going out on the 25th to enjoy the spring scenery."
"If he is the one who decides everything, wouldn't it be a better choice to change the date?"
Fu Shi still had some brains left. After hearing Sun Shaozong's reminder, he finally understood and blurted out, "Master Sun, do you mean that someone has agreed on a date with Ying Jue in advance?!"
Sun Shaozong added, "And the people who came forward to invite the couple are most likely the two servants from before! If someone else came forward to do this, Mr. Ma would probably be hesitant - only if the accomplices from before invited him, he would accept the invitation without any doubt."
After hearing this, everyone became excited. After all, as long as the suspect was identified, searching for him would not be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Even Ma Chunfeng hesitated for a moment before taking the initiative to draw two portraits for Shuntian Prefecture to use as a reference for arresting suspects - after all, whether he would be sentenced to death for murder was something he would have to face in the future. The most important thing right now was to rescue his son from the jaws of death as soon as possible.
It must be said that Ma Chunfeng's painting skills are quite good. Although not lifelike, at least the expressions are about 60% accurate.
Therefore, after Sun Shaozong handed the portrait to Zhao Wuwei, Zhao Bantou patted his chest and promised that even if he had to turn the capital upside down, he would find those two servants!
Ma Chunfeng and Fu Shi were both very pleased, but Sun Shaozong could tell that while this guy was openly making a promise, his hidden meaning was actually: If they couldn't find them, then those two servants must not be in the city.
At this point, almost everything that needed to be investigated had been investigated.
Seeing that he had gone from being a 'distinguished guest who brought honor to the humble house' to a 'despicable guest who was hated by everyone' at the Ma Mansion, Sun Shaozong naturally would not continue to stay here and be an eyesore.
Decisively leaving Qiu Yunfei at the Ma family on standby, Sun Shaozong took Zhao Wuwei and the two portraits and prepared to return to the Criminal Law Division to gather people and launch a secret search.
However, just as the two of them walked out of the study, they saw an old servant approaching with a panicked look on his face.
Before he even entered the study, he fell to the ground with a thud, and cried loudly, "Master, Master, something terrible has happened! People from Shuntian Prefecture found... found the body of the eldest young master in Gulou Hutong!"
Oh my gosh~
Sun Shaozong was speechless at the time. He had just found out some clues, but who would have thought that the hostage would be like this...
Gulp~
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of rotten wood falling to the ground in the study, followed by Ma Fu's anxious cry: "Dad? Dad! Wake up! Don't scare me, Dad!"
Sun Shaozong originally thought that Ma Chunfeng had fainted from anger, but he saw Qiu Yunfei coming out and spreading his hands and said, "Sir, you'd better come in and take a look. Sir Ma seems to be dead."
Another one died?!
Sun Shaozong rushed in to check, only to see Ma Chunfeng lying on his back beside the desk with a small pool of blood on the back of his head. He was already dead!
According to the preliminary estimate based on the situation at the scene, the old man fainted due to anger, and the back of his head happened to hit the bottom of the copper candlestick, and the result...
This evil nature!
I remember that in the morning, he said that if his son died, he would not live either - who would have thought that his words would come true!
"Alas~"
Sun Shaozong sighed, raised his hand and patted the dumbfounded Fu Shi on the shoulder, saying helplessly: "Mr. Fu, I still have to go to the crime scene to investigate - I'm afraid you have to take more responsibility for the Ma Mansion's affairs."
Seeing Fu Shi nodding silently, Sun Shaozong pondered secretly and decided to send someone to keep an eye on the Ma family's assets to see if Fu Shi would take the opportunity to enrich himself.
It would have been fine if Fu Shi had not done so, but if he really swallowed this fat bait, the factional structure of Shuntian Prefecture would have to be adjusted in the future.
The book does not elaborate.
But when Sun Shaozong brought Qiu and Zhao to the front hall, they saw Master Qi, Wei Ruolan's subordinate who was in charge of major homicide cases, waiting inside with several detectives.
Seeing Sun Shaozong coming out, Master Qi was obviously dumbfounded, but then he stepped forward obediently and bowed deeply - now even Wei Ruolan had to lie low for a while, the master beside him would not dare to be arrogant in front of Sun Shaozong.
"Master Qi, there is no need to be so polite."
Sun Shaozong nodded slightly, which was considered a return of greeting, and then asked: "I heard that Mr. Ma Yingjue, the master of this mansion, died in Gulou Hutong. Is it true?"
"Indeed."
Master Qi answered honestly, "I received a report this morning saying that three male corpses were found in Gulou Hutong. I immediately led people there..."
"etc!"
Sun Shaozong interrupted him hastily : "You mean, besides Ma Yingjue, there are two other male corpses at the scene?!"
After receiving an affirmative answer from Master Qi, Sun Shaozong immediately asked Zhao Wuwei for the portraits of the two servants and showed them to Master Qi.
"Look carefully. Apart from Ma Yingjue, are the other two dead people the people in this portrait?!"
Master Qi squinted his eyes and identified it for a long time, then he said in astonishment: "How come you have the portraits of the two dead people?!"
Yes~
Now, all the people involved in this case are dead!
