Chapter 11: Small Inference (Part )

This guy still has some brains.

Unfortunately, there are some, but not many.

Su Liuyue glanced at him calmly, and said with a slight smile: "If this cannot be used as evidence, then... is Shopkeeper Cao willing to let the people of Jingzhao Prefecture examine him? The deceased had fought with someone before his death, and the murderer must have left scars on his body. I think Shopkeeper Cao always says that he is not the murderer, so he must not have those scars on his body, right?"

Shopkeeper Cao's body suddenly stiffened.

"The deceased was most likely killed when Mr. Zheng and Mr. Liu were delivering books to Yangzheng Academy. During that time, Shopkeeper Cao claimed that he was negotiating business with someone in Jinyang Tower. I think what Shopkeeper Cao said must be true. Even if we go to Jinyang Tower and ask the clerks there, they will definitely be able to testify for Shopkeeper Cao that Shopkeeper Cao was in Jinyang Tower during that time. Moreover, they can testify that Shopkeeper Cao has not changed his clothes today and has always been wearing the same set of clothes."

Shopkeeper Cao's body swayed, and the last trace of blood left his face.

"Speak of it."

Su Liuyue suddenly smiled and said in an extremely amiable voice, "I was wondering from the beginning why you asked Miss Sun to deal with your wife's body. Can't you move her to the alley yourself?
Later, I heard from Lu Shaoyin that when Manager Yuan received the note, he called the only clerk in the shop out to deliver the goods.

Why did that guy deliver the goods when you were trying to frame Manager Yuan, instead of delivering them earlier or later?

I'm afraid that Shopkeeper Cao was very busy at that time, pretending to be a customer to order Man Yifang's cakes, and writing notes to bribe the little beggar to deliver to Shopkeeper Yuan, so he didn't have time to deal with his wife's body personally."

Su Liuyue said in an extremely considerate tone: "The little beggar is hard to find, but the customer who ordered the cakes must be hard to find. Since Shopkeeper Cao is not the murderer, then the customer must have nothing to do with Shopkeeper Cao."

As soon as Su Liuyue finished speaking, there was a thud. It was Shopkeeper Cao who was not far away, who fell to the ground with an unconcealable despair on his face.

Su Liuyue just looked at him coldly.

This time, they killed someone on impulse. Although they immediately thought of putting the blame on Shopkeeper Yuan, they were unable to take care of many details.

It can be said that as long as you suspect them, you will find a lot of their loopholes.

As long as Manager Cao doesn't match any of the three doubts she just mentioned, it will be the most powerful evidence.

Judging from the expression on Shopkeeper Cao's face, it was obvious that her speculation was not entirely correct, but it was a rough guess.

Miss Sun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly knelt down on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Zheng Yaozu and Liu Ergui, who were standing next to her, were so frightened that they took a step back and looked at their shopkeeper and Miss Sun in disbelief.

Seeing that Shopkeeper Cao had nothing to say, Su Liuyue slowly glanced at the people who had not yet fully reacted, and finally looked at Lu Shaoyin and said, "Lu Shaoyin, the situation is very clear.

The people who killed the deceased and framed Manager Yuan were Manager Cao and Miss Sun! The clerks of Qiluzhai said that the deceased had often come to the study to inquire about Manager Cao's whereabouts during this period. I think the deceased had vaguely realized that her husband had someone else outside. Today, she came to the study again to inquire about Manager Cao's whereabouts. After learning that her husband was in Jinyang Tower, she left in a hurry. At this point, the confessions of the three clerks were all correct.

The problem is what happened after that! After that, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Liu went to Yangzheng Academy to deliver goods, and Miss Sun was the only one left in the study. If I guessed correctly, then Shopkeeper Cao came back and had an affair with Miss Sun in the study. The deceased may not have found Shopkeeper Cao in Jinyang Tower, or may have heard some rumors, and suddenly returned to Qiluzhai, catching the two people's affair, and was brutally killed!
I asked Lu Shaoyin just now, and Lu Shaoyin said that there was a back door in Qiluzhai that led directly to this alley. It happened that there were few people on the street during this period, so as long as Miss Sun went through the back door, she could drag the deceased into the alley without attracting attention.

The deceased had been fighting with someone before her death, and there were blood and skin scraps under her fingernails, which means that the person she fought with either had torn clothes or had scars on the exposed skin, but Miss Sun did not meet either of the two conditions.

Therefore, the person who fought with the deceased could only be Shopkeeper Cao. After that, Shopkeeper Cao might have changed his clothes. Lu Shaoyin might send someone to check the nearby clothing shops. Who knows, there might be some surprises there..."

"It's all...it's all her fault! It's all her fault!"

Suddenly, Shopkeeper Cao, who had collapsed on the ground, raised his head abruptly, glared at Su Liuyue with hatred, and said with gritted teeth: "It's all because of that woman's domineering and jealousy that she has been restraining me from taking a concubine! It's common for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Why doesn't she let me take a concubine? Why!"

Su Liuyue paused slightly, lowered his eyes and looked at him coldly, "So, you killed your wife? If I'm not mistaken, the maid beside the deceased is in danger now!" After killing the deceased, in order to forge his alibi, he deliberately left Qilu Zhai and pretended that he had never been here today.

The time from when he left Qiluzhai to when he was brought back was not short, enough for him to do many things.

Just now, when Su Liuyue heard the onlookers say that the deceased had no maid with him today, he had a bad premonition.

Lu Shaoyin suddenly turned around and looked at Su Liuyue in surprise.

In this murder case, there is actually a victim?!

Shopkeeper Cao knew that there was no turning back, and suddenly he laughed triumphantly and said through gritted teeth: "That slut deserved it! It's because she has been fanning the flames around my wife that my wife is suspicious of me!
Today, I finished my business with someone at Jinyang Tower and bought a hairpin for Xiao He at the door. The waiter at Jinyang Tower saw me. When my wife went to Jinyang Tower to look for me, the waiter told her about it. The maid even instigated my wife, saying that I must have bought this hairpin for someone else. If it weren't for her, my wife wouldn't have rushed back to Qiluzhai in such a hurry! She wouldn't have seen Xiao He and I together!
Haha, later on, on my way back to Jinyang Tower, I saw that slave girl. My wife was so angry that she walked too fast, and that slave girl didn’t catch up. I had no intention of letting her go. She brought herself to me, haha! She brought herself to me!”

At this moment, he no longer had the gentle and elegant appearance he had at the beginning, but was just a beast in human skin.

Lu Shaoyin rushed forward, glared at him and said sternly: "Good of you! You actually killed more than one person! Where is that maid now!"

Shopkeeper Cao just sneered at him and refused to answer for a long time.

Lu Shaoyin was so angry that his temper flared up again. He kicked him hard and was about to have him taken back to Jingzhao Prefecture for further interrogation when he heard that familiar clear voice again, "He wanted to rush back to Jinyang Tower after killing someone. He wanted to pretend that he had just come out of Jinyang Tower.

He met the deceased's maid on the road. Even if he had time to kill her, he did not have time to properly deal with the body.

He must have hidden the body temporarily. There are not many places on the road where he can hide the body. Lu Shaoyin might as well ask someone to check the wells, abandoned land temples, or... houses that no one has lived in during this period on the way from here to Jinyang Tower..."

Su Liuyue spoke word by word, and the expression on Manager Cao's face was always smug and vicious, as if he deserved a beating. However, when Su Liuyue mentioned the house that had been uninhabited for some time, his brows suddenly twitched slightly.

Su Liuyue sneered secretly, and immediately turned to Lu Shaoyin and said, "Lu Shaoyin should focus on sending people to check the houses that have not been occupied during this period of time."

That tone clearly revealed a sense of certainty.

Shopkeeper Cao's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he stared at Su Liuyue in disbelief, saying in a lost voice: "You...how do you know!"

Lu Shaoyin's forehead twitched slightly.

Why does this sentence seem to sound familiar?

The people around looked at Su Liuyue as if she were a monster.

Looking at the look on Shopkeeper Cao's face, could this girl have guessed right again?!

What's wrong with this girl? Why does she seem to be able to see through anyone's thoughts so easily? !

Su Liuyue turned around and looked at Shopkeeper Cao, who was staring at her, with a half-smile, and said calmly, "It's just a simple inference."

After saying that, he looked at Lu Shaoyin, "Now that everything is clear, Lu Shaoyin, why don't you catch the murderer?"

Just as he opened his mouth to ask what the so-called little inference was about, Lu Shaoyin was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Oh, yes, he should be arrested, he should be arrested.

Come, arrest the murderer immediately and take him back to Jingzhao Prefecture!"

　Hehe, it's a rare holiday, so I'll update early~ The first case is just a trial for the heroine~
