Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Chapter 222

Wu Dada looked at Wu Zuo: "How to say?"

"I don't know what to say, I just feel something is wrong, it's hard to say." Wu Zuo showed embarrassment, "And I'm just a writer, not an adult like you who often solves cases."

Although no very strong evidence was found, Wu Dada had some clues compared to the beginning, so he sent Wu Zuo to leave.

Qing Lao San gave his subordinates winks, and the subordinates immediately understood,

On the way back, Wu Zuo felt very uneasy. Although he failed to inspect the two corpses and found nothing critical, in fact, Wu Zuo had already become suspicious. The adult corpse, that person was killed. The three corpses have one thing in common, that is, there is no expression on the face, which means that the three people did not notice when they died.

So even though he didn't finish checking the two rotting corpses, he can deduce that the two people were killed by someone without warning just like the adult, so the wounds on their bodies were hit when they just died of.

But this is only his inference,

He had a faint feeling in his heart that the death of these two people and the death of that adult were probably done by the same group of people...

On that day, Wu Dada decided to investigate the origins of these people carefully.

Wu Dada said, "It's best to be an old servant."

When he said this, Qing Laosan understood: "Find out who has been with them the longest, and if they are still alive, go to their hometown to find them."

With the help of Qing Lao San, Wu Dada waited for the old servant of one of the deceased three days later.

When the old servant learned that his master who had followed him for many years had died, he burst into tears. When the third person called him, he only said that the head of the business gang had come and asked him for something.

After the old servant cried for a long time, Wu Dada could barely ask questions.

"How many years have you been with him?"

"20."

"What did he do before the Kingdom of Jin fell? When did you come to Liangzhou again?" Wu Dada continued to ask him.

"Before the Kingdom of Jin died, the master was traveling with other people on the Yellow River, and then suddenly one day, the master said he would make a fortune, and then he became rich." Looking back, the old servant still feels in a daze.

Wu Dada frowned: "Can you be more specific?"

"Actually, I don't know what happened. After the master left for a month or so, he came back with two boxes of silver. He was very happy. We used to live in a small county on the other side of the sandbar. We moved to Liangzhou a year later, and only three to five years later, the Kingdom of Jin was completely wiped out, but the master's business is getting bigger and bigger."

Wu Dada asked him again if he knew the other deceased, and the old servant nodded: "Of course I did. After the master came to Liangzhou, he often walked with the master, but I guess they have known each other for a long time. And the master I respect him very much, and we all call him the old nobleman after the master. The old slave once guessed that the master made his fortune back then because of the old nobleman."

Wu Dada stopped and looked at Qing's third child: "Didn't you find this man's servant?"

"The servants who have been with him the longest have been dead for a long time, and now they are all short of him, and even his accountant was recruited only this year." Qing Lao San replied.

Wu Dada frowned: "It turned out to be like this... Does this person not like to use long-term labor?"

The youngest Qing was startled, and quickly said: "Also, his wife has married a third one, and there are a lot of concubines."

"..." It's not an important thing, but it's a bit weird to put it here.

Qing Lao San also heard the problem.

Wu Dada waved his hand and asked the third child to take the old servant down first.

Wu Dada had a deep expression on his face: "Could it be that the enemy really did it?"

Only when you know that you have offended someone, or know that you have done something bad, will you keep changing the people around you, because you are afraid that your own affairs will be exposed, and there is something wrong with this person.

Qing Lao San naturally also thought of it, only those who have ghosts in their hearts will keep changing the people around them, so it is very likely that these two people have done bad things together before.

Wu Dada: "Check him again."

"We must have checked this person when he was in the family. Since he was able to deceive us in the past with his innocence, it means that there are problems with his name, household registration, and identity."

Wu Dada agrees with what Qing Laosan said: "If you go to his house as a government official to check, his wife and children should not object, but if all his previous things are disposed of, we can't find anything. It's going to be an unsolved case."

Thinking of so many unsolved cases in a row this year, Wu Dada suddenly became in a bad mood.

Qing Lao San said: "If you want to check his house, leave it to me."

Wu Dada looked at Qing Laosan, and suddenly understood that if some things were asked to go directly by the government, it would be a surprise, so using other methods to investigate might really find something.

Qing Laosan sent someone to find Gu Yue.

It was probably in the evening of this day that he contacted Gu Yue, and Gu Yue came over the next morning.

"Is the case settled? All right, we'll leave tomorrow." Gu Yue said as soon as she came in.

Qing Lao San: "How can it be so easy, if only we can start tomorrow!"

Gu Yue's eyes changed: "Then why did you ask me to come over?"

Seeing that his eyes became gloomy, Qing Lao San hurriedly said: "I have something to do, I can only do it for you."

Gu Yue: "What's the matter?"

"Check a house."

It would be easy if it was just to check a house. After listening to Qing Laosan's story, Gu Yue's face became even more gloomy.

Gu Yue: "It means looking for things related to this person's original identity. What if he gets rid of all his old things?"

"So it's all up to you, and I can't think of a better way, but you should be better than me." After all, Qing Laosan felt that Gu Yue should have been a high-ranking official, with good knowledge and martial arts, Although he is a little worse than his Lord Qin

Yes, Master Qin will always be number one in his heart.

"Sweet mouth is useless to me." Although Gu Yue said so, she was already happy in her heart.

"Then do me this favor, and I'll give you money."

"..." Gu Yue's face fell down again, "I don't want money."

"So you're going to help me." That night, Gu Yue still asked for the address from Qing Laosan. He wanted to help with this and also wanted to find out the case. He was somewhat interested in this case.

It is a large mansion in West City, Liangzhou, and there are several guards at the gate, which shows that it is the home of a rich man.

He squatted on the roof and looked at the situation in the yard. The three-story courtyard was housing, and many trees were planted behind the last courtyard, which became a forest.

Gu Yue didn't know which courtyard the deceased lived in before, so he could only go to the place where the lights were turned off.

After all, there is a courtyard that is lit at this time, and there are women's laughter and laughter.

The last courtyard had fewer lights, but there were still two guards.

After the mist was released, the two guards felt sleepy, and they sat on the stone steps leaning against the doorpost and fell asleep.

Gu Yue quickly jumped down and went in through the window.

After entering, it was discovered that this was a place where calligraphy, paintings, antiques, emeralds and corals were stored. Gu Yue wanted to find a place similar to a dormitory and study, so she left immediately.

He went to other rooms in the yard, and found the bedroom, and opened all the cabinets inside. This kind of lock did not bother him, but the things inside, the land deeds and the house deeds were all written with a name. Isn't it the name of the deceased that Qing Lao San said?

After searching all over, they found nothing. Gu Yue was about to get angry, so she went to check the other rooms, but found nothing.

A person who changed his servants every once in a while, and even the servants and wives who had been with him for a long time had died, how could he leave a clue for people to investigate.

Gu Yue decided to go to the storage room to take a look before leaving.

Going through the window and seeing the piles of coral and emeralds, Gu Yue didn't feel it, because the Yinshan Miao people only recognize silver and gold, and in their opinion, other things are worthless...

After Gu Yue went in, he found that there was another room inside. At this time, he blew on the torch, and the fire flashed. In front of his eyes were all kinds of paintings, with the styles and characteristics of various ethnic groups. He could roughly distinguish which one it should be. made by painters of the clan

This person probably likes to paint, or he simply likes to hoard paintings.After all, apart from gold and silver, these are the only things that can add value.

Seeing the inscription on the corner of the painting, Gu Yue lightly scoffed.

It is probably written so and so, the name of the artist, gifted to so and so, the name of the deceased.

This person should like to buy paintings, but asked the artist to write the signature on the paintings as a gift to him.

It has been passed down to the world, and he may want others to know him as a person.

Suddenly thinking of this, Gu Yue's eyes flashed, is there a possibility?

Gu Yue suddenly put away the painting in his hand, and began to check the signatures of all the paintings here, including those hanging on the wall, piled up on the bookshelf, and stuck in bottles.

But no, there is no different name.

Gu Yue's anger came up again. After being silent, would a villain be so stupid as to put the things from the past here and wait for someone to investigate?You shouldn't have listened to the third child, and it's a waste of time!

Looking at the beam above her head, Gu Yue quickly climbed up and stopped looking for it.

Standing on the beam, he pushed open the skylight, and the dust flew up.

He coughed a few times, squatted on the beam and rubbed his eyes, and when he opened his eyes again, he suddenly noticed a box on the beam.

The box is not small, it should be one meter long and the same width as the main house beam.

Gu Yue's heart beat faster, realizing something, he moved towards the box.

He shouted in his heart, it must be, it must be, I don't want to run in vain!
