Gu Jieqing smiled and said, "How could Mrs. Meng be a suspect?"
Yang Wuhui turned back to look at Gu Jieqing and replied: "Why is it impossible? Anyone who has been in contact with Meng Bing is suspect, and this lady Meng Shuang is the most suspect."
Gu Jieqing shook his head and said: "No, no, why did Mrs. Meng kill her niece? There is no reason!"
Yang Wuhui sighed, looking at Gu Jieqing, he just thought that this person couldn't be lustful!
However, Gu Jieqing was an important classmate of his on this trip, and Yang Wuhui was still willing to explain to him.
"There are many reasons. For example, the two parties have different business concepts for Rouge Shop. For example, the money allocated is different. For example, they fall in love with the same person. All these may lead to a case. So my Brother Gu, don't get to know each other. From now on, I won’t use my brain anymore.”
Gu Jieqing rolled her eyes at Yang Wuhui, but what Yang Wuhui said was indeed true.
Because after Gu Jieqing met Yang Wuhui, he didn't like to use his brain anymore.
Anyway, he felt that he was not as smart as Yang Wuhui, so by protecting Yang Wuhui, he was protecting his own IQ.
But Yang Wuhui felt that Gu Jieqing was also the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department.
After all, you can't just rely on yourself.
After returning to the county government office, Yang Wuhui went to find the man who performed Meng Bing's autopsy six months ago.
The old man heard the newly arrived county magistrate ask about this matter, but he still remembered it clearly.
He remembered that Meng Bing was strangled to death, and the murder weapon was a hemp rope, which was still on the bedside table at their home.
This was the conclusion reached after comparing the hemp rope after the body was found.
After Yang Wuhui finished asking about his work, he returned to his small courtyard.
When Zhan Yirong saw Yang Wuhui coming back, he asked, "Do you have any clues?"
Yang Wuhui replied: "I met with Meng Shuang and the coroner who performed the autopsy on Meng Bing today, but there was no useful information. Tomorrow I will go to the prison to meet Mr. Zhang to see how he is doing."
Zhan Yirong asked doubtfully: "On the charge of theft, you haven't been released yet?"
Yang Wuhui explained: "It's not that simple. The Song Dynasty law stipulates that for the crime of theft, those whose stolen money exceeds five guan in total will be directly executed. Those who do not meet the five guan need to be punished with 20 canes and serve for three years. When Renzong was still alive, theft was punished. The crime is usually punished by death, the wife is sent thousands of miles away, and the property is confiscated and rewarded to the informer. Repeat offenders are also sentenced to death even if they are accomplices. This is much more serious than Tang law. But now, the punishment is based on the former. "
Zhan Yirong looked in disbelief. She was indeed not very familiar with Song Lu.
I just didn't expect it to be so serious.
"This Mr. Zhang was not sentenced to death because he had to serve for three years?"
Yang Wuhui said: "That's right, that's it!"
At this time, Wang Rulan suddenly said: "I also remember this case. It seems that Mr. Zhang's name is Zhang Sheng! Half a year ago, the Yamen tried his case. He stole money from Mr. Qian Huang, a calligraphy and painting seller in the north of the city. But It wasn't much, it seemed like there was only some broken silver, about five yuan. I was caught at that time, and I also witnessed it with my own eyes when I was beaten with a cane in the Yamen. I was beaten so badly that I almost died. ”
Wang Rulan also added: "This case was decided by the previous county magistrate, Magistrate Lu."
Yang Wuhui glanced at Wang Rulan, and then looked at Zhan Yirong.
Zhan Yirong asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Yang Wuhui replied: "Nothing!"
Then he said to Wang Rulan: "Rulan, do you still remember when the case was decided?"
Ru Lan shook her head: "I can't remember clearly, but it rained that day, that day. The reason why I remember it raining is because it rained twice that month, and this time it rained heavily, so I remember Down."
Yang Wuhui stood up and walked to the case files.
He said to Wang Rulan and Zhan Yirong: "Yirong, Rulan, help me find the files on this case!"
Zhan Yi was stunned, but Wang Rulan said: "The files are not difficult to find. When you guys went out just now, I sorted them out because I was bored. The first pile was within one year, the second pile was within three years, and the third pile was They are more than three years old, and the last pile is more than seven years old."
Zhan Yirong was stunned for a while, but Yang Wuhui looked at her with a half-smile.
At this moment, how could Zhan Yirong not understand what Yang Wuhui meant.
But Yang Wuhui just smiled and walked to the first pile. In the third case, he found the file about Zhang Sheng.
When it comes to this victory, people from Jiannan are more than 20 years old.
When he first arrived in Xichong County, he stole money from Huang Buyu, who was selling calligraphy and painting in the north of the city, and was caught on the spot.
So Huang Bu met the reporting officer and captured him.
The day was the seventh day of October last year.
Seeing this, Yang Wuhui frowned.
Zhan Yirong leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Wuhui explained: "I went to Lady Meng's home, and even Meng Bing's file mentioned that Zhang Sheng once came to Meng Shuang to borrow money. He didn't borrow much, only five coins."
Zhan Yirong said: "Ru Lan just said that he stole Mr. Calligraphy and Painting's money, which was also five yuan. It's this number, what's so weird about it!"
Yang Wuhui said: "If, I mean, if you already have five pieces of silver on you, would you still think of stealing another five pieces of silver?"
Zhan Yirong said: "Who would think that there is too much money?"
Yang Wuhui was silent, and then said: "If, according to what Meng Shuang said, this Zhang Sheng is a scholar, would you still think that he has five coins of silver on him, and then take the risk to steal five coins of silver?"
Zhan Yirong shook his head: "I don't understand what you mean!"
Yang Wuhui said: "The price of goods in the Song Dynasty is not high nowadays. In Xichong, a cake or a steamed bun costs one penny. A bowl of noodles with onions and vegetables only costs three cents. If you add meat, it only costs five cents. Five cents of silver , enough for one person to use for a period of time. Zhang Sheng is a scholar and should know the laws of the Song Dynasty, so under such circumstances, would he still take risks to steal money? "
Zhan Yirong seemed to understand something, but she didn't know what Yang Wuhui wanted to express.
Wang Rulan didn't understand what Yang Wuhui meant, but five coins was really a lot.
You must know that her father teaches in a private school and earns only two taels of silver a month. If one tael of silver is just to buy rice and noodles, it is enough for a family of three to live for a year.
Yang Wuhui took a deep look at the two of them before saying, "This means that Zhang Sheng might not be Zhang Sheng!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhan Yirong and Wang Rulan were dumbfounded again.
What nonsense is Yang Wuhui talking about? Why is Zhang Sheng not Zhang Sheng?
If Zhang Sheng is not Zhang Sheng, who else could he be?
However, although Yang Wuhui had a guess, he still needed proof.
He immediately called Gu Jieqing who was wandering at the door.
