Chapter 373 New Year's Day Dessert (9)
"That Tong Wu was indeed the home that his parents left after they died in a panic," Liu Yuan said, "but the witnesses said that a major event happened in Xianyang County two days before Tong Wu's parents died of anger."
Lin Fei looked over.
"This matter is not incidental," Liu Yuan said, "Lin Shaoqing, do you still remember the rumor that 'the butcher kills and divides the corpses and makes human meat buns'?"
Because this rumor was really weird and outrageous, when it reached Lin Fei's ears later, he found out the source of the rumor—it was from an old case that happened here in Xianyang many years ago.
At that time, the young Mrs. Lu was the witness to the murder of her parents, so, Tong Wu is related to this case? Lin Fei thought.
Looking at the thoughtful expression on Shangfeng's face, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu knew that Shangfeng had remembered, so they didn't waste much time on the details of the case, but talked about the connection between the case and Tong Wu.
"That incident was said to be a ghostly and terrifying incident, which impressed the witnesses deeply, and they have not forgotten it after so many years. The butcher involved in the case was close to Tong Wu back then. According to the witness, there were no two people after the incident. Something happened to Ritong Wu's parents, and after that, Tong Wu was so-called 'greatly touched', ran away from home, and never came back." Liu Yuan added another sentence, "Never met again. They've been in touch."
It is indeed a coincidence that things happened almost backwards and forwards.
Through Tong Wu, who had been dead for 20 years, Liu Sanqing and his party were connected with the case of Mrs. Lu's parents.
So, Liu Sanqing and his party robbed and killed the rich businessman Tong Wu, got rich, and maybe got something else, so that there was a change in the "encounter".
Tong Wu is most likely related to the butcher who murdered Mrs. Lu's parents.
"According to the witnesses, Tong's father and Tong's mother are kind and honest people. If they knew that Tong Wu was involved in such matters, it is very possible that an accident would happen in a hurry." Liu Yuandao, "Besides, Tong Wu was too lazy to do things before, but he caused trouble. Tong's father Tong Mu was angered not once or twice, she had an old illness, the doctor often said that the two of them could not be angered anymore, but this Tong Wu..."
"What a reformed 'big filial son'!" Bai Zhu answered, and couldn't help but snort coldly, "Is he leaving home because his parents were touched by his anger, or because he was afraid that he would be implicated in the butcher's murder case? It's easy to say. Otherwise, how could the relationship with the village be severed so thoroughly?"
Liu Yuan also gave a "hmm" when he heard the words, deeply agreeing.
"Furthermore, when Liu Sanqing and others robbed and killed Tong Wu, according to eyewitnesses, Tong Wu, who returned home in fine clothes, returned to Chang'an, not Xianyang." Bai Zhu continued, "Although the two places are not far apart, the After all, it’s still a long way away, how did he change his hometown for himself regardless of his parents’ cemetery being in Xianyang?”
"At the moment the evidence is being burned and the witness is dead. I was the only two present at the time, and the two of us couldn't testify..." Liu Yuan's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but said bitterly, "It's such a ruthless move to kill people directly. Extremely rampant!"
Judging from the past of Tong Wu, he is very likely to be involved in this case, but now that he is dead, there is no definite evidence, so he cannot be moved to the hall, and can only be used as a direction for their investigation.
Looking at the two people with gloomy faces, although Lin Fei felt a little bit embarrassed in his heart, he still spoke to comfort him: "Even if there is evidence from witnesses, there was no physical evidence that Tong Wu was involved in the case of the butcher robbing and killing a wealthy businessman. Zhetong Wu has been dead for more than twenty years, although this matter is important, it is not impossible to investigate without this evidence."
As soon as Lin Fei said this, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who were originally gloomy, jumped in their hearts: there was an interval of six years between a seemingly simple case of murder and robbery. This case... eh, no, this time The case has been overlooked!
"No one knows how much money the rich merchant had back then, except for the two dead rich merchants and the butcher who also died." Liu Yuan said, "The 'big filial son' Tong Wu was spoiled, if only that little Leaving home after giving birth, is it really true that he is actually a good businessman, but he was young and ignorant?"
Although there are many things in the drama that the prodigal son turns his head back for money, but looking at the world, how come so many young and ignorant people suddenly wake up and become wealthy businessmen and geniuses?
Such people may exist, but they are extremely rare. Tong Wu may be such a person, but... Judging from the past habits and subsequent actions of people like Tong Wu, the other possibility is much bigger.
"The money recovered from the butcher may not be all the belongings of the pair of dead wealthy businessmen, maybe only half, or even a small part. Tong Wu may be the biggest beneficiary of this case back then." Bai Zhu thought for a while and said. , "Because the money came from an improper source, that's why he acted so low-key. It wasn't until Liu Sanqing and his party robbed and killed him that a wealthy businessman suddenly appeared."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan nodded and said: "So...it makes sense!"
"According to Liu Sanqing, they were responsible for this case. After 20 years, the amount of money recovered from the robbers in the robbery case is still astonishing. We felt sorry for Tong Wu, a wealthy businessman who was killed. In terms of net worth, it is the richest man and wealthy businessman in any place, why have you never heard of such a person before?" Liu Yuan said, "It is because the business is going overseas, and the accounts and money are not easy to find out. The reason is a bit too far-fetched, and there is no news about Tong Wu among the merchants who do overseas business. If this person hadn't died this time, it would seem as if he didn't exist at all, and he hid it too well."
The fact is that until Tong Wu was robbed and killed, all the government knew was that a wealthy businessman was killed, and the amount of money that was robbed was blinded and completely unknown.
It was not until the case of Liu Sanqing and his party came out that they knew the corner of that golden mountain.
If so...
"The money on the pair of rich merchants who were robbed the first time can be said to be incomparably rich," Liu Yuan couldn't help but marvel when he said this, "Where did the money on the pair of rich merchants come from? Business?"
"After investigation, Liu Sanqing and his team found Tong Wu. They thought Tong Wu was innocent, but after this investigation, they found that Tong Wu was very likely not innocent! That pair of rich businessmen is so powerful, although they are not as innocent as Tong Wu. Before he was killed, this person was just a small wealthy local businessman." Bai Zhuyue frowned more and more, "So...if it wasn't for Tong Wu and Liu Sanqing, who murdered and seized wealth later on, they were all business geniuses. The money has accumulated in their hands, so where did the rich merchants get the money in the first place?"
When it comes to the fact that the two groups of people who murder and steal money are both "business geniuses", Bai Zhu's tone is a bit subtle: "Is it true that the 'business wizards' are all reduced to blatantly becoming bandits, killing people and stealing money to get started? ?”
Just as they were talking, those escorts had already pushed the **** cart over. As the escorts said, there were no valuables in the box, but some ordinary silk cloth and some gold and silver items.
Precious is precious, but not uncommon.
"As we said earlier, we went outside the city gate on the second day we arrived in Xianyang. We waited from morning to night, but we didn't wait for any Huangshan people to pick up the goods," said the bodyguards. "In the past two days They also sent people to go outside the city gate, but they didn’t arrive. Therefore, the goods are still in our hands.”
Lin Fei, who had seen the goods in the box, waited until the bodyguards finished talking, then turned around and asked the bodyguard, "What's the name of this employer?"
"The employer claims to be Wen Dao San." At this point, the escorts looked at each other, thought for a while, and then said, "This **** trip was actually scheduled at the beginning of the year, but I haven't been given the departure time yet. Every time I wait for the past, he will add some money and let me wait and wait, and this time, I will wait until the end of the year."
