Chapter 292 Sorry, it's not a murder of passion
Squeak~
The windows on the west side of the second floor were divided into left and right, causing Zhao Wuwei to look up. He saw a white arm stretching out from inside, taking the flower bellyband that was drying outside, and then deftly closing the window.
Zhao Wuwei's eyeballs seemed to be pulled in by the white arm and clamped by the window frame, and he was unable to pull them out for a long time.
Qiu Yunfei stretched his legs on the shaft of the cart and kicked him lightly on the lower back, cursing, "Isn't it just an arm? Look at what you have done! Don't ever say you are my subordinate again. I can't afford to lose that man!"
Zhao Wuwei staggered forward after being kicked, holding his waist and smiling awkwardly. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to flatter Sun Shaozong, he suddenly saw the burly figure of Sun Shaozong walking out of Huichun Tower.
"master!"
He hurried over and asked flatteringly, "Master, can we close the net now?"
Sun Shaozong casually put the painting of "Song of the Wine" into his hand and ordered: "Remember to frame it for me tomorrow and hang it in the main hall of the Criminal Law Department."
Qiu Yunfei also came up at this time and asked curiously: "Sir, what did Li Xiucai say? Is there really someone behind this case?"
"Yes, there is."
Sun Shaozong said somewhat helplessly: "But Li Xiucai only knows that he is tall and strong, and the rest is..."
According to Mr. Li's account, about ten days ago, his letter-writing stall had been deserted for several days, and as a result he could not even afford the lowest quality paper and ink.
That evening, Li Xiucai felt itchy and so he broke off a willow branch and scratched around in the yard. He was enjoying himself when he suddenly heard someone chuckling behind him.
Li Xiucai turned around in surprise and saw a masked man in black clothes and robe standing not far behind him with his arms folded.
It must be said that Mr. Li was a courageous man. Although he thought the other party did not look like a good person, he did not panic. Instead, he stood up straight and calmly, indicating that if the other party wanted to ask for money, then he had come to the wrong person.
The man laughed again after hearing this. After laughing for a long time, he suddenly asked Li Xiucai if he wanted to make a fortune and change his current miserable situation.
Li Xiucai was a poor man with principles, so he immediately stated that although he was poor and had no food to eat, he would never covet ill-gotten gains .
Hearing this, the man laughed for the third time, then told Li Xiucai the secret of how Ma Yingjue and two servants raped and killed a woman while outing outside the city three years ago, and explained in detail his own plan to kill her.
After showing mercy three times, the man didn't even wait for Li Xiucai to make a choice. He threw a packet of poison and disappeared into the night.
And since then, he has never appeared again.
After a few days, the letter-writing business went from bad to worse, and Li Xiucai was about to make ends meet. After much hesitation, he finally decided to enforce justice on behalf of the people and make a fortune at the same time!
It has to be said that Li Xiucai's execution ability was still good, and he almost perfectly implemented the masked man's plan. It was a pity that he met Sun Shaozong, otherwise the government might not have been able to find him.
After listening to this brief and concise retelling, Qiu Yunfei scratched his head and said with certainty: "It is probably either a revenge killing or a love killing, but I think the latter is more likely!"
"Why?"
"Isn't it obvious?"
Qiu Yunfei spread his hands and sneered, "That flirtatious woman Ma Yingjue is not a good person at first glance!"
"Especially when we bumped into her, I noticed that the rouge on her lips and the powder on her face were a little damaged. They must have been nibbled off by some wild man!"
"I guess she heard about what happened three years ago from Ma Yingjue, and then she colluded with her adulterer to stage such a big show. Her purpose was to murder her husband through Li Xiucai!"
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "It's a reasonable guess."
Qiu Yunfei just showed a bit of pride when he heard Sun Shaozong say: "It's a pity that you didn't observe carefully enough."
"Not careful enough?"
Qiu Yunfei said unconvincedly, "How could I not observe carefully enough? When I was talking to Lao Zhao just now, he couldn't even tell that the makeup on that woman's face had been nibbled by someone!"
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "It is the incomplete powder that proves that her lover has nothing to do with this case."
"What...what does this mean?"
Qiu Yunfei was stunned. He felt very proud of himself for being able to notice such details. How could there be a mistake in such details?
Sun Shaozong explained: "If you observe more carefully, you will find that the areas on her face where she lacks rouge and powder are mainly concentrated on her chin, cheeks, and nose, but there is no trace on her forehead."
As he spoke, he pulled the short and strong Zhao Wuwei over and made him stand face to face with Qiu Yunfei. He then continued, "For example, if you were the burly mastermind behind the scenes, and Captain Zhao was Ma Fu, would you kiss all other parts of her body but leave her forehead alone?"
Qiu Yunfei and the bearded Captain Zhao stared at each other, and suddenly he said, "I understand. The woman's adulterer is a short man like Old Zhao. It was a bit difficult to kiss her forehead, so he had to give up!"
"And since Li Xiucai said that the man behind the scenes was tall and burly, the two can't be the same person!"
Pushing Zhao Wuwei aside, Qiu Yunfei fell into deep thought again.
Sun Shaozong was not going to delay here any longer, so he turned around and told Zhao Wuwei, "Wait for Li Xiucai to come out, then bring him back to the government office."
"Wait for him to come out?"
Zhao Wuwei said hesitantly: "Master, shouldn't we go in..."
"At least he risked his life to avenge an unrelated woman." Sun Shaozong got on the carriage swiftly and said casually, "Besides, the money for the prostitution has already been paid, so let him have his pleasure first."
Seeing him get into the carriage, Qiu Yunfei hurriedly climbed onto the shaft and sat side by side with the coachman Zhang Cheng.
Just as he was about to order the car to start, he suddenly remembered something, so he took out two gold leaves from his bosom, threw them into Zhao Wuwei's arms, and said with a smile: "Go and take down the little girl who just stretched out her arms. When you finish the serious work, you can come and do some good things too - let's go back to the government office!"
This kid has learned how to win people's hearts.
Sun Shaozong smiled knowingly in the car, but then his expression turned gloomy again. Although he did not reveal it just now, he actually had some immature inferences about the case in his mind.
The reason behind this case is most likely neither a vendetta nor a murder of passion!
Because from Li Xiucai's description, Sun Shaozong felt that the burly masked man should have no grudge against Ma Yingjue and others.
As for why he formulated this plan and chose Li Xiucai to carry it out...
Sun Shaozong couldn’t figure it out for now, but he vaguely felt that this guy might be involved in other cases in the future!
