"You may not have noticed, but there are very coincidences in this world. Above the toilet is the cabin where Mr. Du and his wife live. Just climb up and hang down with a rope. It is very fast and does not take much time at all.
"
"Moreover, the autopsy can only calculate the approximate time of Yao's murder. We still check Master Du's words. What if it was more than half a stick of incense?"
Master Yang fell silent immediately, thinking about the possibility of what Su Yizhao said.
"You mean, these two people are colluding?" Su Wenqing immediately thought of a possibility, and in a series of words, this is the only way to explain it.
"Let's not worry about their motives for now, let's make some assumptions first." Su Wenqing stood up, walked in thought, and then said.
"First of all, assuming that Wang Wei borrowed the time to go to the toilet and climbed directly from the toilet window to the cabin above, as long as he went faster, half a stick of incense would be enough.
He killed Yao with a dagger, and then because he was panicked or afraid that he would be too late, he returned to the toilet without checking."
"It does make sense, but this is just speculation, we have no evidence!"
Mr. Yang's eyebrows finally relaxed a little at this moment. If the murderer was a boat passenger, it would be better than a river bandit.
"Afterwards, Mr. Du entered the cabin and found Yao lying on the ground. Perhaps he had a grudge against Yao and saw that Yao was not dead, so he suffocated her to death, or he might have made up for the stab wound in the middle."
Su Yizhao nodded in agreement, "My son has the same view as his father. These two people must be related to Yao's death. Even if they are not the ones who ultimately lead to Yao's death, they cannot escape the relationship."
As she spoke, she took out a pea-green brocade handkerchief from her sleeve, spread it out, and placed it in front of the two of them.
"Sir, please look, what is this?"
Su Wenqing and Mr. Yang immediately came over to check, and Mr. Yang also held the object in the handkerchief to observe.
"Is this a broken hemp rope?" Master Yang asked doubtfully after checking it.
"Yes! This is what the students found by the window of Master Du's house just now." Su Yizhao nodded in response.
In fact, Xiangsi discovered the broken hemp rope. After she remembered the location of the toilet just now, she asked Xiangsi to walk around the window of the house and made a major discovery.
"What about Mrs. Wang? Why do you say she is suspicious again? I think she is old and frail and deaf. Besides, Mrs. Yao has a deep relationship with her..."
Master Yang felt that Wang was the least suspicious, and she was even the last one to know that Yao had been murdered.
"It was precisely because of her deafness that the students found it strange. At that time, Mr. Du told her that Yao had gone, and his words were rather vague.
If it were an ordinary person, he might not react immediately. After all, a good person might even be seen one moment and gone the next moment. Wouldn’t he be shocked and confirm again?”
Su Wenqing suddenly realized after hearing this, "It is indeed true! If it were me, I would confirm it again."
Master Yang also nodded in agreement, "But is it just based on this point?"
"You also know that Wang is deaf. She has to talk and gesture when talking to others. She said it several times, even Mr. Du, who is familiar with her. But when Mr. Du answered, his voice was very low, even choked, but she
I only heard it once, but it seemed like I knew it beforehand."
Su Yizhao said thoughtfully, "Even if she is not the murderer, she must be an insider!"
Su Wenqing and Mr. Yang carefully recalled the conversation between them at that time, and were shocked to realize that it was indeed what Su Yizhao said.
Master Yang took a deep look at Su Yizhao and found that this child was really observant and thoughtful.
Unexpectedly, this father was unconventional, but his son was extremely intelligent and calm.
"After your analysis, even my father thinks there is something wrong with Mr. Wang."
As Su Wenqing said this, he turned to Master Yang and said, "Sir, let's go to Master Du's cabin and have a look. Maybe there are some missing clues."
Su Wenqing was completely aroused at this moment. Not only did he participate in it, but he also became more motivated.
"Sir! The students feel that the top priority is to send someone to monitor every move of Wang Wei and Mr. Du. If it is really the two of them who are responsible, maybe they will find an opportunity to get together and discuss the next response."
Just now Wang Wei was ruled out as a suspect, and now he has been released. After all, multiple boatmen could have rowed the boat to the shore earlier.
Su Yizhao now thinks Wang Wei is suspicious, so he should put him under surveillance first.
"That's right! But we have to trouble Fourth Master Su again!" Mr. Yang bowed his hand to Su Wenqing. He had no choice but to come out with only two followers this time.
One of them was on hand to serve him, and the other knew some martial arts to protect him, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The imperial court urgently dispatched him to Beiyuan Mansion. In order to speed up the journey, he traveled lightly and set off before his family.
"It's easy to say, the adults have orders, and students have a duty to do so, not to mention that everyone's lives are at stake."
Su Wenqing seems to be very reliable this time. After all, his life is at stake, right?
After calling Gu Yuan to give instructions, the three of them called shopkeeper Zhou Zhou and prepared to go to Master Du's cabin.
"I didn't see Mr. Du in the main hall just now. Is he in his room now?" Su Yizhao asked shopkeeper Zhou who was walking with him.
"Oh! Mr. Du said that he would stay in the room to spend more time with his wife. They are a husband and wife who are deeply in love. Now that the wife has gone, he is in great pain, so he does not want to leave. I have tried to persuade him a few times, but he has been insisting and can only
I can follow him."
Shopkeeper Zhou lamented that the relationship between the two was as strong as gold, but things in the world are unpredictable!
When Su Yizhao heard this, he frowned slightly and quickened his pace.
Several people walked to the door and found that the guards assigned to guard the Su family were standing guard at the door, but the door was closed.
Master Yang felt something, and asked the guard: "Where is Mr. Du?"
The guard noticed that several people had arrived in a hurry, and quickly said: "It's right in the house!"
Su Yizhao had no time to hear his answer. Instead, he stepped forward and kicked the door violently.
The door did not open in response, but remained motionless.
Su Yizhao:......
"Father!" Su Yizhao immediately turned around and shouted.
When Su Wenqing saw this, without saying a word, he pulled Su Yizhao over and stepped forward with a sudden kick.
The door panel shook violently and was kicked open violently. Su Yizhao didn't have time to think about it and immediately ran into the house.
But as soon as he stepped into the house, Su Yizhao saw a figure leaping up, accompanied by the sound of falling into the water.
Su Yizhao looked out the window and saw only huge splashes of water. She felt anxious and was about to jump down.
Suddenly, his back collar was pulled hard, and Su Wenqing's dissatisfied voice sounded, "Just stay here, but you can't go down!"
"Then father, get down!" Su Yizhao turned around and said to Su Wenqing in a hurry.
Su Wenqing was stunned for a moment, "Ouch! I, I don't know how to swim!"
Su Yizhao was speechless, "You don't know how to swim, why are you pulling me? I know how to swim!"
