Chapter Four Hundred and Twelve: Catch the Murderer
Chapter 412: Catch the murderer
In a wing room in the Immortal Restaurant, a straw rope was hanging on the beam of the room. Zeng Paner was still crying and hanging in the air, looking indescribable.
Chen Ao and others pushed the door and looked in. Di Saner was so scared that she was lost and hurriedly hid out.
"Hurry, put him down!" Chen Ao hugged Zeng Paner's feet, and Liu Huimin also came to help, put Zeng Paner down. Chen Ao checked the marks on Zeng Paner's neck and checked his pulse. Knowing that Zeng Paner was dead, he shook his head and stood up sadly.
After leaving the house, Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "Zeng Panerai committed suicide because of the crime. In this way, if he wanted to find the wine utensil, there would be no hope for him to find the wine utensil. Alas, if he had known this, he would have asked him at that time."
Chen Ao refused to say anything and called Liu Huimin to ask, "When did he commit suicide? Didn't he ask you to watch him?"
Liu Huimin smiled bitterly and said, "The young general Zeng Pan'er returned to the room. Zeng Pan'er said he wanted to think about it alone, so I was guarding the door. This was on the fourth floor. I thought that as long as I guarded the door, he could not escape even if he pushed the window. But after waiting for a long time, I saw that there was no movement inside, so I knocked on the door and asked. Later, I knocked on the door and Zeng Pan'er was already dead. Mr. Chen, it was my negligence and I deserved to die."
Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "You stay here first, I have one more thing to do."
Chen Ao called the frightened DiSanger and asked DiSanger: "How many kinds of wine were used in the offering room on the fifth floor when those wine utensils were sacrificed?"
Di Sanger was stunned and said, "There is only one type, which is the most common carving. My grandfather was the best to drink this kind of wine during his lifetime, so he only used this kind of wine during sacrifices."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "It was my negligence that killed Zeng Pan'er."
Di Sanger couldn't understand what Chen Ao meant, so he asked, "What did you say?"
Chen Ao turned his head, his face darkened this time, and his eyes looked at Liu Huimin aggressively, and said, "Liu Huimin, I ask you, where did you hide the wine utensil?"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, which made Liu Huimin feel shocked. Zhao Ji, Yang Jian, and Di Sang'er were also confused.
After Liu Huimin was startled for a while, she calmly said: "What does Mr. Chen mean? The little one is wronged."
Zhao Ji said on the side: "Yes, did Chen Ao guess wrong? Liu Huimin couldn't tell the big words, how do you tell the real and fake wine utensils?"
Chen Ao smiled calmly and said, "Since Liu Huimin forgot about stealing, then let the students come and help him recall what happened. When you were trading wine utensils, you happened to be present. After hearing that the wine utensils are worth 30,000 yuan, you became thoughtful. The store door was closed that night, and the account room personally took you and Miss Di to the utensils and sealed a layer of wax for the wine utensils..."
"Wait..." Di Sanger interrupted, "How do you know that Uncle An sealed the wax?"
Chen Ao smiled slightly: "Because there are traces of wax shells on the altar, and they are applied very evenly, they should be used to protect the wine utensils. Even those fakes are sealed with wax, so the authentic ones naturally need to be better protected."
Di Sanger nodded, and had to admire Chen Ao's careful observation.
Chen Ao continued to say to Liu Huimin: "After that, An Chan asked you to get the wine. You went to the wine cellar and got the wine. However, this wine was not the carving that Wu Nang Gong loved to drink during his lifetime, but the crabapple wine in the store. The carving smelled similar to the crabapple wine. At that time, An Chan Chan was a little excited because he got this wine utensil and was a little tired. He didn't notice it. The reason why you used crabapple wine to replace carving was to mark it, because in your opinion, it was difficult to distinguish a few fakes on the altar. However, if you changed crabapple wine, with your ability to distinguish the wine, you just need to find a wine utensil that holds crabapple wine, and you don't have to identify the authenticity of the wine utensil."
Zhao Ji suddenly realized and couldn't help but: "So that's the case, but how did Chen Ao know?"
Chen Ao smiled: "Although the smell of begonia wine and carved wine is similar, there is still a difference. I smelled it on the altar."
Ignoring Zhao Ji, Chen Ao smiled at Liu Huimin, but the smile did not make Liu Huimin feel any kindness. Chen Ao continued: "That night, you finished cleaning the house. You obviously had the key to the altar, but you deliberately pried the lock open and then stole the wine utensil. This is because you were going to deliberately set up an illusion, because others would think, since you have the key, why do you still have to pry the lock so troublesome? The real wonderful thing is behind. When I come to ask you, you deliberately involved Zeng Paner, because you know that there were only three guys in the house who analyzed the value of the wine utensil in the house. Wang Kai slept with the same house. Zi, it is easy to find a witness to clear himself. Only Zeng Panerai is alone is the easiest to frame him. So you deliberately say that you saw Zeng Panerai coming out to get up at night, but Zeng Panerai couldn't tell him clearly after hearing it, because you insisted that he had an illusion. After all, when people are awake, it is difficult to recall what happened in their sleep. Therefore, Zeng Panerai thought that he really got up at night, but he couldn't remember the second diary. So he denied it at the beginning, but later, he denied it and said that maybe it might not be possible. His change of words just shifted our attention to him."
Chen Ao paused for a moment before saying, "Since you are suspicious of Zeng Pan'er, I ask you to watch him. You have a ulterior motive and know that Zeng Pan'er's affairs will be investigated sooner or later. Besides, if Zeng Pan'er can't hand over the wine utensils, this matter will be investigated to the end. So you might as well just make your heart beat, kill Zeng Pan'er, and then slander Zeng Pan'er to commit suicide for fear of crime. In this way, once Zeng Pan'er's clues were cut off, everyone would only think that Zeng Pan'er is dead and no one knew the whereabouts of the wine utensils."
Chen Ao's story is full of slightness. Di Sang'er, Zhao Ji and Yang Jian were both surprised. They both felt a bit absurd, and they also felt that this story seemed to be able to explain everything.
A trace of surprise flashed in Liu Huimin's eyes, and then she laughed: "Haha... Mr. Chen's story is very nice, but it's a pity that this is completely your guess."
Chen Ao shook his head and said seriously: "This is not a guess, because Zeng Pan'er has told me the truth."
Zeng Pan'er... Liu Huimin was so scared that her face looked like a dirt. She looked around and said that Zeng Pan'er's ghost had come. She reluctantly calmed down and said, "Hmph, you are talking nonsense! There is no Zeng Pan'er's ghost here."
Chen Ao smiled slightly and said, "Because I know that Zeng Pan'er was murdered. Although he died of suffocation, there was no sign of suffocation. Because the person who died of suffocation first died of brain, and then the control center that dominated the tongue muscles lost control. At this time, the muscles in the tongue showed weak and relaxed state. In addition, the jaw was suffocated, the mouth was opened, and the tongue would naturally slide out of the body. So this is why suffocation ghosts often stick out their long tongue. Just now, everyone saw that although Zeng Pan'er was hung on the beam, he did not stick out his tongue. Obviously, it was because he was suffocated by you first, and then you hung him on the beam to report to us. Alas, it was a perfect plan, but it was still a secret. Liu Huimin, do you steal treasure first and kill someone later, and you still want to deny it?"
Chen Ao's analysis is very convincing. Even if he doesn't sue him for stealing his treasure, Liu Huimin will find it difficult to explain the murder. Because Liu Huimin said just now that Zeng Pan'er had entered the wing room and was guarding outside the door, then there would definitely be no outsiders. Zeng Pan'er died of murder. Except for Liu Huimin, there will never be any suspects. Even if he was sent to the government, Liu Huimin was enough to sentence a marquis to behead him, and he would definitely die.
At this point, Liu Huimin's eyes turned around and knew that the matter had been exposed. Chen Ao had found conclusive evidence, so he quickly turned around and wanted to escape.
"Okay, it's you!" Di Sang'er was furious and rushed over, lifted his back collar, and his jade-singed hands clenched into fists and smashed towards his back spine. Di Sang'er's kung fu was indeed not bad, but Liu Huimin didn't notice Di Sang'er behind him. Di Sang'er punched with an impact. Liu Huimin sneered and collapsed to the ground, looked at Di Sang'er in panic, and hurriedly said, "Little Grandma, please spare me... The wine utensil was hidden by me. If the little grandma wants to find the wine utensil, the small one is a fart. What if she put it on?"
Liu Huimin was indeed very scheming. At this time, she still hoped to exchange wine utensils for her life.
Chen Ao sneered: "If you just steal, you can let you go, but kill someone to pay for your life. Zeng Paner’s body has not been cold. Do you still want to escape?"
Liu Huimin was hit by Di Sang'er with a punch, and blood was already overflowing from the corner of her mouth. She endured the pain and lay on the ground and said, "Then, you will never find the wine utensils... Just to avenge the revenge of Zeng Pan'er, I will lose the precious treasure... Haha... Then I, Liu Huimin, are willing to die."
Chen Ao smiled and said, "I'm afraid your wishful thinking is wrong. I not only want to bring you to justice, but also find the wine utensils, Sang'er, escort him and go to the fifth floor of the offering."
The analysis just now made the three of them highly respected Chen Ao. Even Di Sang'er no longer got angry with him. He lifted Liu Huimin and escorted him to the fifth floor.
When we arrived at the offering room, Chen Ao said, "Sang'er is watching the thief here, and we search carefully here."
As he said that, Chen Ao turned over to the altar first. Seeing this, Di Sanger quickly shouted: "Hey, there is my grandfather's spiritual seat here, don't move..."
Chen Ao ignored her, and worked with Zhao Ji and Yang Jian searched in the room, and after careful search, he found nothing.
Seeing that they had nothing to do, Liu Huimin laughed proudly and said, "I said, if I don't say it, you will never find wine utensils."
