The death of the grain merchant completely disrupted all Qin Huaidao's plans, and also made Qin Huaidao a little more angry.
The second person brought in for interrogation was Shen Sanshi's concubine, a charming woman who lowered her head and did not dare to look at anyone or speak. Qin Huaidao could not see the other person's expression, and he was angry, so he asked: "Raise your head and answer me, why did you kill?"
It's why they killed people, not who did it.
The question was abrupt, direct, and fierce, as if the other person was the murderer.
This was an interrogation technique, but the concubine didn't understand it, so she hurriedly said: "No, I didn't kill him."
When Qin Huaidao heard this answer, his pupils instinctively shrank and he stared at the other person. Normally, if he was not the murderer, he should answer "I didn't", or ask "What did you say?" It was definitely not "I didn't kill him."
Only the murderer will instinctively deny that he did not kill him.
"Qiang!"
A knife was taken out of its sheath, and a cold light shone in all directions.
"If you ruin my good deeds, I will kill you." Qin Huaidao roared with feigned anger and slashed at the opponent's neck with his long knife, his murderous intent undisguised.
People will react instinctively when facing danger, Qin Huaidao is trying.
The long sword is like a rainbow, cutting through the void.
In the flash of lightning, the opponent instinctively burst out.
Cheng Chumo thought that Qin Huaidao was really going to kill someone in anger. Just when he was about to stop him, he saw the concubine's body explode. Her movement and speed were definitely not ordinary people. She had to hold back the words that came to her mouth, and she was a little confused for a moment.
Qin Huaidao stared at the other party, sheathed his long knife, and said coldly: "It's quite hidden, I almost managed to hide it from you."
"You lied to me?" the other party reacted.
"Just found out? It's too late!" Qin Huaidao shook his long sword and was about to take action.
At this time, Cheng Chumo reacted and shouted: "Straight bitch, you almost deceived me, I will kill you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Chumo drew his sword and rushed forward to kill him.
The next moment, Qin Huaidao saw an incredible scene. The concubine suddenly smiled sadly and did not dodge at all. Instead, he rushed towards Cheng Chumo's knife. With a short knife in his hand, he went straight to Cheng Chumo's heart, one life for another. He was suddenly shocked by the fateful fighting style and shouted: "Back off!"
Cheng Chumo's body collapsed.
However, the concubine did not run away after stabbing the air with the knife. Instead, she stabbed herself in the heart with her backhand. She was decisive, fierce, and without hesitation. There was a relaxed smile on the corner of her mouth, as if she had been relieved.
Qin Huaidao was shocked and stepped forward and asked: "Why?"
"Someone wants me to die. If I don't die, my whole family will die."
"Your family is in the hands of others? Are you the one who arranged to supervise Shen Sanshi?"
The other party frowned in pain and said in a weak voice: "I heard that you care about the common people in your heart, and have given many people a way to live, and the wages are high. Can you please do me a favor, kill all the aristocratic families, and give the people of the world a way to live."
Qin Huaidao was startled, what kind of request is this?
"Please!" The other party suddenly knelt down, slowly pulled out the short knife, let the blood rush, and suddenly shouted sternly: "God, you are so unfair. I just want to live, why is it so difficult."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body collapsed to the ground, and he refused to close his eyes.
"Boom!"
A thunder exploded, shaking the void.
The wind has risen. The cold winter wind is as cold and sharp as a knife. It blows through Chang'an City, Shen's Mansion, and the concubine's face. The black hair is flying in the wind, showing so much weakness and helplessness.
Those charming eyes were just open, motionless, eager to see something, and gradually turned gray.
Qin Huaidao looked at those eyes with a heavy heart. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word. The concubine's scream before she died was like thunder in his mind - he just wanted to live, why was it so difficult?
Yes, why?!
For a long time, Qin Huaidao was speechless and felt sad.
Cheng Chumo didn't think much about it. After waiting for a while and seeing Qin Huaidao, he still didn't say a word. He couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, do you want to check on this person?"
Qin Huaidao sighed, took a few steps forward, squatted down, touched the other person's eyes with his hands and whispered: "You just want to live, but some people don't allow it. In fact, I also just want to live, and some people don't allow it. When has God ever been fair? But I guarantee you that those behind this will definitely be punished."
The words fell, the hand passed over, and the eyes closed!
Qin Huaidao stood up, gritted his teeth and said, "Check! No matter who it is, you must pay the price."
"This man is really willing to die rather than reveal the person behind it. If we tell him, we can save a lot of trouble." Cheng Chumo said a little depressed.
"It's just a knife used by someone to monitor Shen Sanshi. No wonder it can be assassinated at close range. No wonder Shen Sanshi didn't resist at all. Shen Sanshi probably didn't know that his concubine was someone else's knife before he died. From this point of view, the other two grains I'm afraid Shang also died from someone close to him." Qin Huaidao said and left.
After a while, Qin Huaidao returned to Shen Sanshi's study and searched, but found no account books, but Mrs. Wu had said that Shen Sanshi would go back to the study after dinner to check the accounts. Go to a brazier, which is filled with ashes.
The account books were burned!
Poor people are also hateful people.
Qin Huaidao left holding back a ball of evil fire. He was led by Cheng Chumo to another grain merchant. He entered the courtyard in a set of three, which was no less impressive than that of Shen Sanshi's house. He saw the body in the main hall, guarded by several guards, and his neck There is a mark on it, not big but very deep.
"Where was the body found?" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chumo.
Cheng Chumo immediately said: "On the roadside outside our door, the distance is less than ten feet away."
"Where is the coachman?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Cheng Chumo was not sure, so he looked at the person next to him, who quickly said: "Sir, I asked the people at home that the coachman is missing."
"Do you have any information on the driver's identity?"
The other party hurriedly said: "My name is Wang Er. He is a domestic servant and a coachman, but he also has the responsibility of guarding. People in the house say that he is deeply trusted and follows him when he comes and goes. This person has been there since I came to Chang'an for business. I don't usually interact with him." People come and go in the house, but no one knows where they are."
"Straight bitch, haven't the clues been lost again?" Cheng Chumo cursed angrily.
"grown ups!"
At this time, Yuchi Baolin came in a hurry, accompanied by Fang Xuanling and Li Jing.
"I've met Mr. Fang and Mr. Li." Qin Huaidao stepped forward to greet him.
"What's going on now?" Fang Xuanling asked.
Qin Huaidao did not answer immediately, but looked at Yuchi Baolin and asked: "Has the other one been checked?"
"I just checked, and the restaurant manager said that he was accompanied by the cashier, because the two of them often go to that restaurant, and the manager knew each other. They asked for a table of food, and said that they would not be disturbed while chatting. Since they could not come out for a long time, the manager asked the waiter to come in.
After checking, I found that he was dead and the accounting room was missing."
"Who is the accountant?" Qin Huaidao asked.
Yuchi Baolin hurriedly said: "After checking, the family members said that the other party's surname was Zhang. I don't know what the specific name was, and I don't know where he was from. They said he was hired, so I couldn't find out anything."
In an era without surveillance, it was impossible to check just by one last name.
Judging from the current situation, the murderer is probably someone behind the scenes who has been placed next to the grain merchant to supervise and silence him. The methods are so ruthless that one will feel chilled.
The control methods are so identical and the response is so fast. Could it be that the master behind the three grain merchants is the same person?
Qin Huaidao suddenly had an idea, as if he had caught something.
