"In this case, it is indeed a motive for murder. However, it seems that I am pretending to see Mr. Du sad. Is he really so cruel?"
Master Yang was still in disbelief. He thought it would be far-fetched to kill the person he slept with day and night for this reason?
"Little Master, what do you think?"
Su Yizhao easily thought of a famous line from his previous life, and couldn't help but find it funny.
"My lord, just call me student Yi Zhao!"
Su Yizhao thought for a moment and then said: "Actually, apart from the dispute between the two, Mr. Du has other suspicious things."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!" Mr. Yang said seriously.
"Today, the student went to Mr. Du's cabin with the adults. According to what he said, Mrs. Yao happened to finish dressing up. He took a quick look and went to the deck."
As soon as Su Yizhao finished speaking, Su Wenqing said: "Are you surprised that Mr. Du remembered what his wife was wearing?"
He smiled, and then confidently said: "It's not that Mr. Du lost money in his business, maybe Yao sold all the jewelry, and it's not certain that there are only a few pieces left, let alone one of them he gave to Yao.
birthday gift."
Mr. Yang was convinced, so he nodded in agreement.
Unexpectedly, Su Yizhao shook his head, "This is not what my son finds strange, but Yao didn't even sell the dowry shop or the land, and he may not have sold the jewelry."
After Su Yizhao said this, Mr. Yang felt that it was possible for Yao to do something like this.
"If her husband is really in trouble, she is inconsiderate and unwilling to help. She is really a cold-hearted person."
"We outsiders don't know what happened between them, so the students will not comment."
Perhaps Mrs. Yao was disappointed with Mr. Du? After all, she still has a son, so her dowry cannot be touched, otherwise she may not even have the chance to make a comeback in the future.
“At that time, the student saw an ox-horn comb on the corner of the dressing table, but did not see Yao’s dowry.
The student has read Mr. Du's confession. When Mr. Du saw Mr. Yao finishing dressing up, he went to the deck to look at the river view. When he came back, there was only half a stick of incense in between, because he was about to eat the morning meal.
when."
Mr. Yang nodded, "Didn't Mr. Du say that the dowry was stolen? He said that there were some jewelry inside. If the murderer killed someone for money, then it would be perfectly reasonable for him to take the dowry and banknotes."
"This is a cabin, not your own home. Most people will find it inconvenient, so they will naturally put all their jewelry in the dowry. If no one is watching, will they put the dowry away?"
Su Wenqing agreed, "Of course you have to keep your valuables. There are so many people coming and going in this cabin, so how can we be careless?"
"That's it! How important is a comb to a woman? No matter how poor a family is, women cannot live without a comb. A horn comb is not expensive, but it is worth a lot of money. If you lose it, it will be very inconvenient, not to mention the loss of money.
?" Su Yizhao said.
Master Yang and Su Wenqing suddenly realized, and Su Wenqing said directly: "You mean that before the horn comb could be put into the dowry, Mrs. Wang was killed, and the murderer took away the property, including the dowry?"
Su Yizhao shook his head and said: "My son was thinking of something else."
"What on earth is going on?" Su Wenqing was very anxious at the moment, and his appetite was completely whetted by Su Yizhao.
Even Mr. Yang looked at Su Wenqing eagerly, hoping that she would clear up the confusion as soon as possible.
"Do you and your father still remember the conversation at that time? I asked Mr. Du where the gift box had gone, and Master Du was shocked to realize that the gift box was missing. If he only focused on looking for banknotes at the beginning, it would indeed make sense."
Seeing the two men nodding at the same time, Su Yizhao continued: "But I heard from Mr. Du that the jewelry on Yao's body is not cheap. For Mr. Du today, it should be considered a considerable amount of surplus wealth."
"Indeed! He said he only brought six hundred taels with him when he returned home!" Su Wenqing replied.
"My son asked him if he found out that the dowry was missing after searching in the box? He said yes."
Seeing that the two of them were deep in thought, Su Yizhao did not wait for them to ask questions and continued: "But when he left, Mrs. Yao had just finished dressing up and was combing her hair. Her makeup had not yet been put into the box. The horn comb was very good.
Proof of.”
"So, when you asked him if he had rummaged through the box, he answered yes without hesitation, but did not look at the dressing table. If he really forgot the gift, shouldn't he look back at the dressing table to confirm again?"
Su Wenqing touched his palms and finally thought of the inconsistency.
After being analyzed by the two of them, Mr. Yang also noticed something was wrong.
"Master Du said that he brought six hundred taels of silver. We don't know whether it is true for the time being. After all, no one has opened his trunk and looked at it." Su Yizhao reminded.
Mr. Yang thought for a moment and said, "Are you doubting Mr. Du? Indeed! He has always said how much money was lost. How do others know?"
"If he hid the dowry and banknotes, killed his first wife, and then disguised himself as a thief to seek wealth and death, it would be very possible." Su Wenqing nodded.
"But Mr. Du's stature is not high. He is on par with the Yao family and does not match the first murderer you mentioned." Mr. Yang suddenly remembered what Su Yizhao said before and retorted.
"He may be the murderer, or he may not be the first murderer."
Su Yizhao paced and thought deeply, "The students also discovered that when Mr. Du opened the clothes covering Yao's head and face when the autopsy was about to be performed, his expression was a little wrong, and his eyes seemed to be avoiding him!"
"Maybe it's fear? After all, those wide-eyed looks are really uncomfortable!"
When Su Wenqing thought about it now, she still felt frightened, but she pretended to be calm and relaxed.
"Didn't he look like this when he put Yao on the bed? His expression was different, his eyes were evasive, as if he didn't dare to meet Yao's eyes."
Mr. Yang pondered for a moment and said, "So you think Mr. Du is the murderer?"
He thought for a while and added: "Oh! It should be one of them?"
"Sir, don't worry, let's analyze Wang Nai Niang and Wang Wei again!" Su Yizhao did not express his own judgment, but named other suspects.
"These two people are also suspected? But the boatman previously proved that Wang Wei could not have come up to the cabin when Yao was killed." Mr. Yang said doubtfully.
"I wonder if your Excellency has observed the environment around the bottom cabin and the cabin? There are two roads in total, and there are indeed people guarding the middle. But you are not the only one to take these two roads to get to the cabin."
This sentence inspired Su Wenqing, "You mean going into the water?"
"Yes! Strictly speaking, it's outside the ship. Wang Wei left the bottom cabin midway, saying he was going to the toilet. The latrine was just below the guard's house. When I was wandering around a few days ago, I glanced at it accidentally. There was a door above.
A mature man can pass through the window."
Master Yang stroked his beard and said, "But there is only half a stick of incense left in the meantime. How could he have time?"
