Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 13 Suspicious Clouds
In a certain room of silk and satin village.

A guy from a silk and satin shop named Jia Liu was telling Xu Zun and others what happened.

He said that when the incident happened, You Dalang's behavior was indeed very strange.

The guys were busy working in the store, when You Dalang rushed over suddenly, saying that the county captain Xu Zun wanted to bully the proprietress.

Everyone's first reaction was to save people first, but You Dalang insisted on asking everyone to go outside to call for help, saying that Xu Zun is a county captain who is not easy to mess with, and he needs to call more people to come.

Hearing this, Xu Zun originally wanted to ask if they saw him entering the You's house, but on second thought, it's best not to ask this question.

Don't you know if you have entered You's house to have an affair with Chun Niang?

It's a pity that no matter how Xu Zun recalled, he still couldn't remember what happened at that time!
So, he could only change his words and asked Jia Liuzhi if he knew about You Dalang's life experience.

"My lord," Jia Liu replied, "I only know that Shopkeeper You is from Songzhou, where he is from Songzhou, and what's going on at home, but I don't know anything about it!"

"Oh? Has he never mentioned family matters to you?" Xu Zun asked, "Did he go back to his hometown during the holidays?"

"No, never!" Jia Liu said, "The silk and satin village has been open for less than a year, and I haven't seen him go back to his hometown!"

"What about the money?" Zhao Yu, the head catcher, couldn't help asking the question he was most concerned about, "Where do you store all your money?"

"It's... at the bank, right?" Jia Liu said, "The shopkeeper You didn't hire Mr. Accountant, he always collects the accounts himself.

"After collecting the account, he will go to the Wude Bank, it should be stored there!"

"Jia Liu," Xu Zun said after careful consideration, "Think about it, during the days when you were working in the silk and satin factory, did you ever feel suspicious or unreasonable?"

"Yes!" Jia Liu replied almost without hesitation, "Shopkeeper You likes to go to Huaxianglou very much on weekdays! We are very envious of inviting several girls to stay overnight at one time!"

"You bastard!" Zhao Yu scolded, "My lord asks you what is suspicious, what kind of suspicious is that?"

"No, no, no," Jia Liu hurriedly added, "My lord, please think about it, shopkeeper You likes girls so much and is so rich, why doesn't he take a concubine? This should be considered suspicious, right?"

"Oh?" Zhao Yu fell into deep thought.

Xu Zun was also lost in thought, which coincided with his previous doubts.

"It stands to reason that our proprietress didn't give birth to a son and a half daughter for him, so she should take a concubine!" Jia Liu continued, "But the shopkeeper doesn't have the slightest intention of taking a concubine, which really confuses us!"

"Then..." Xu Zun asked again, "Is there any more?"

"This..." Jia Liu seemed to think of something, but he hesitated to speak.

"You little boy," Zhao Yu shouted, "Say what you think of quickly, don't be a mother-in-law!"

"Yes, this..." Jia Liu said in embarrassment, "I feel that our proprietress is also a little abnormal!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun's eyes lit up, and he urged, "What's abnormal?"

"When it first opened, the proprietress was still busy in the store, helping out with sales, but not long after, shopkeeper You stopped letting her out to help!"

"why?"

"Shopkeeper You won't say anything, but we can tell that the proprietress...she...she behaves a little...some of that..." Jia Liu faltered.

"Which one?" Zhao Yu urged.

"A little frivolous, isn't it?" Xu Zun asked.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Liu nodded, "The words of the proprietress can make people's bones become crisp. I suspect that the shopkeeper You is afraid that she will be too ambiguous with customers and will not have a good influence, so she is not allowed to come out to look at the store again. ?”

This……

Based on his memories, Xu Zun believes that Jia Liu's description fully fits Chunniang's characteristics.

"Hey? This is new!" Zhao Yu said to himself, "I bought clothes from your lady boss before, why didn't I feel it?"

"It makes me feel small," Jia Liu continued, "The shopkeeper You and the proprietress seem to be in harmony, and life is not going well. I can often hear them arguing from the backyard!"

"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "Why are you arguing?"

"It's too far away, I can't hear you clearly," Jia Liu replied, "It is estimated that shopkeeper You often goes to Huaxianglou, neglected the proprietress, and caused the proprietress to complain, right?"

Oh……

Hearing these words, Xu Zun fell into deep thought again.

It seems that his previous conjectures were all correct, the two had had a grudge before, that's why You Dalang swung a knife to kill someone!
Xu Zun felt that from the various performances of this Chunniang, she seemed more like a prostitute, with a strong rouge atmosphere.

Could it be...she used to be a messy woman too?
Later, he was redeemed by You Dalang, and he became a good man?

Or, what reason does You Dalang have for Chunniang?He had no choice but to marry Chunniang?
Because of this, although he likes beautiful women, he dare not take concubines?
Then... what kind of handle can lead to the murder?

Is it possible that you really let yourself say it?
Is there really any big secret about You Dalang?

What is hidden behind You Dalang's murder of his wife?

Next, Xu Zun asked several other guys, and the answers he got were roughly the same.

Afterwards, the full-scale search of the silk and satin village was also declared over, and except for some scattered silver and gold and silver jewelry, no other valuable things were found.

The strangest thing is that there is no identification of You Dalang and his wife, not even a letter.

It seems that the You Dalang and his wife really have mysterious origins, which are quite different from normal businessmen.

Until now, no one can say clearly, where did they come from?
Xu Zun paced back and forth in the room, combining the memories in his mind, and retrace the whole case from beginning to end.

It stands to reason that it has been confirmed that You Dalang and his wife do have secrets, so the possibility that the case is against them should be ruled out.

But for some reason, Xu Zun still felt uneasy, and still felt that someone was manipulating him behind the scenes.

After all, You Dalang's death is quite intriguing.

Before he died, he had been clamoring and publicizing the scandal of Xu Zun's affair with Chun Niang, and he didn't look like he was going to commit suicide at all.

But he just hit the wall and died, which made Xu Zun suspicious.

Before, Xu Zun even really suspected that Miss Shen Qian, wondering if she didn't want to marry him, and ordered You Dalang to frame him?

However, from memory, it is known that Ms. Shen has a pure heart and is unlikely to devise such a more complicated poisonous plan.

Then, he wondered if it was done by a fan of Miss Shen?
For example, there is a guy who admires Shen Qian, but because he hates himself, he instigates You Dalang to frame him?

However, according to the principle of vested interests, he quickly ruled out this possibility.

If he is unjustly imprisoned, a large number of people will be eligible to propose marriage, and the murderer will not benefit directly from this.

Besides, he just wanted to squeeze himself out of the competition, so why did he have to kill people?

You only need to find a few prostitutes to perform the fairy dance, and let yourself be ruined. Why do you need to kill people?
Finally, Xu Zun thought of a more terrifying possibility!

You Dalang, could it be that he was instigated by his father-in-law?

The father-in-law regretted agreeing to this marriage, but he felt shameless when he broke the engagement himself, so he arranged for You Dalang to frame him?

The old man's mansion is extremely deep, rich and generous, and he is probably the only one who can devise such a conspiracy, right?

However, Xu Zun found that this idea is even more nonsense through touching memory!

Because, my old father-in-law, Shen Gong Shen Tiande, has long treated himself like his own son.

If Shen Tiande hadn't taken him in back then, I'm afraid he would have starved to death on the street now!

It turns out that Xu Zun in this world is not an ordinary man, but comes from a famous family.

His great-grandfather was once an important official who founded the country, and he was officially named Yipin Gong, a hereditary official position.

His father, Xu Changlin, was also an official worshiper of Dali Temple. He was a dignified third-rank member of the Daxuan Kingdom and was very prominent in the court.

However, the family was unfortunate. In the second year of Xianyuan, Xu Changlin, who was in his prime, suddenly fell ill and died!

Because Xu Changlin was upright and had offended many dignitaries in the court, he was squeezed out after he died of illness, resulting in the decline of his family and the separation of his relatives, leaving only Xu Zun alone.

At that time, Shen Tiande was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he was Xu Changlin's protégé, and he was single-handedly promoted by Xu Changlin. The two were both teachers and friends, and they had a close relationship.

In order to repay Xu Changlin's kindness, Shen Tiande not only took Xu Zun in, but also arranged for him to become Xinye County Captain, and even betrothed his daughter Shen Qian to him!

Over the past few years, although Xu Zun was weak and dull, Shen Tiande always treated him as his own and took good care of him.

The incidents of divorce that Ms. Shen caused a few times ago were all forcibly suppressed by Shen Tiande in the end.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for such a father-in-law who cares about and loves him to do things to frame him.

So... Maybe I was worrying too much about this matter!
Just as Xu Zun thought of this, a policeman rushed in to report:

"Master County Captain, Catcher Zhao, it's not good! We just found out that You Dalang never saved money in Wude Bank at all!"
