Chapter 388 Murderer on the Wall

Chi Shi said, taking out the painting Jiang Yun painted from her arms. She didn't open it, but looked at the neighbors.

"Eight years ago, the third day of May, was the day when Wang Wang's original wife escaped, right?"

The old man who had collected the pool nodded, "That's right! The young master can do it! If you weren't the young master of the escort agency, the old man would have thought you also lived in our alley back then!"

"I remember clearly that it was two days before the Dragon Boat Festival. They didn't make any statements, but my grandson-in-law and Wang Wang's daughter-in-law Chuntao are very familiar with each other."

"This holiday, I sent each other a few rice dumplings, salted duck eggs. But when I went there, I realized that Chuntao didn't want to serve his father-in-law who had broken his legs and ran away. At that time, the people in the whole alley came to comfort Wang Wang."

"I also prepared peanuts and wine, picked them up and came to my house to drink realgar wine."

Chi Shi nodded. She was right in her guess. That night, the person who was killed was Wang Wang's wife Chuntao.

She thought, spread the painting in her hand and walked to Wang Wang, "You should remember this scene deeply. On the night of the third day of May, you killed your wife Chuntao in this yard."

"When she fell down, she hit the iron plate on your waist, making a metal collision sound. The sound was very crisp and fragrant. "

"You are desperate and have not closed the door. Your shadow shines on the wall. The light source behind you comes from the lantern in your father's hand. He sits behind you and watches everything quietly."

"Afterwards, you cleaned the yard and cleaned the body. Unfortunately, all the secrets are everywhere. You didn't expect that a teahouse that was usually left unattended late at night came a guest that night, and that guest was an eyewitness."

Chi Shi said, put the painting back, folded it carefully, put it in his sleeve bag, looked at the ground, and then took out a dagger from the sleeve, "Let me find out where the entrance to this underground is."

"If you can't find it, it doesn't matter. Take a big hammer and I swung it around randomly, wherever I made a hole, wherever I was the entrance, right?"

"When you spend a tael of money on me, I'll stab you. What do you think?"

Wang Wang listened, his legs became weak, and the pain under his body had not stopped. Now, looking at the dagger with a cold light, he felt a pain all over his body.

Wang Wang lowered his head and raised his head again. His eyes were full of evil light. He swung his hoe and hoeed towards Chi Shi.

Chi Shi looked cold. Just as he was about to raise his legs, he saw a leg stretching out from the side, kicking Wang Wang out with a sharp kick. Wang Wang hit the wall, spat out a mouthful of blood, and almost fainted.

Chi Shi turned his head and saw Zhou Xian smiling slightly.

"Is the legs very long?" Chi Shi asked.

Zhou Xian smiled, "It's not too great, it's just that I can protect you."

The old white-bearded man standing in the crowd covered the eyes of the child in front of him, thought for a while, and then covered the child's ears.

These days, the world is really getting worse and the hearts of people are not as good as ever.

Such two young people are so beautiful, they are actually in broad daylight... alas...

Chi Shi snorted and walked towards Wang Wang.

Wang Wang shivered and shrank into the corner, "The remaining money is all underground, and I haven't moved the big head yet. That is, this ignorant woman insists on taking out one to wear."

"The young master, all of whom we all distributed to our father and son are here. We have also followed the words of others. There was a one-eyed bandit leader named Gu Le. My father traveled around the world and met him by chance."

"He came to the door and said he wanted to rob Miss Hou's escort. If my father cooperated with him, he would get half of the money he got. Half of the five thousand taels, that would be two thousand five hundred taels. If we go through the escort for a lifetime, we would not make so much money."

"So my father was moved and agreed. He worked in Hengwei Escort Agency for the rest of his life. The escort agency changed his employer halfway, and many people left, but he didn't leave, and he had become an escort leader. This escort is like walking by the river, and there is no reason not to wet your shoes."

"So if you lose such an escort, you may not be suspected by your boss."

Wang Wang said, gritting his teeth, "But we never expected that the dog thief was fooling us. He...he wanted to kill my father and cut off my father's legs."

"Fortunately, we are not vegetarians, so we have a backup plan. I called my brother-in-law and hid nearby to help us. Although all the escorts at Hengwei Escort Agency were dead, the bandits were also dead and injured."

"I joined my brother-in-law in a fight against them, and then hid the things first in my sister's house on the outskirts of the capital. I lost the raft, and I don't know what would happen. My brother-in-law took his money and walked away with my sister."

"What happened later is just like what you said," Wang Wang said, looking at Chi Shi.

"We widened the door of the yard and took advantage of the night when Chuntao returned to her parents' home to transport all the treasures. There was a cellar under the yard, which was originally piled up with some miscellaneous items and vegetables."

"My father injured his leg and his condition became worse and worse. That night, on the third day of May, I thought about going down and finding something without marks that could be taken immediately, and asking my father for a good doctor to treat it, and then buying some tonics."

"I watched Chuntao sleep and just went down. I didn't mean to hide it from her, but everyone in the neighbors knew that she liked to help her parents' home and her younger brother the most. She gave birth to seven daughters in her family, and when the eighth one, she gave birth to a son."

"At that time, her brother was talking about his marriage and was worried about the betrothal gift. If she knew, she wouldn't care so much. She would definitely take out a lot of money and give it to her incompetent brother."

"As soon as the escort agency was lost, our family became rich. Wouldn't that tell the people of the world that we are robbers? That's why I tried every means to hide it from her. But I never expected that as soon as I brought up the things, she rushed out."

"She saw that I refused to give it to her, so she rushed to the door, opened the door, and said she wanted to yell to make everyone know. I was in a hurry and stabbed her to death with a short sword."

Wang Wang said, and glanced at his daughter in patched clothes. Seeing her tears and trembling, she turned her head aside.

"A good person is gone. I have no choice but to say that she ran away with someone. Just like my father injured his leg, the people in the escort agency would not doubt him. I can't say that I was pried out by someone..."

"I said that, everyone believed it. I regret it too! I hid this thing, and I was worried every day and night... My father was so injured that even though I served me carefully, he went there not long after."
