Chapter 373 New Year’s Eve Treats (9)

"That Tong Wu was indeed the home he left after his parents fell to the ground in anger and died," Liu Yuan said. "However, the witness said that a major event happened in Xianyang County two days before Tong Wu's parents were killed in anger."

Lin Fei looked over.

"This matter is not a side event," Liu Yuan said: "Does Lin Shaoqing still remember the rumors that were circulated in the past about 'butchers killing people and cutting them into pieces to make human meat buns'?"

Because this rumor was indeed a bit weird and outrageous, when it reached Lin Fei's ears, he found out the origin of the rumor - it came from an old case that happened in Xianyang many years ago.

Mrs. Lu, who was young at that time, was a witness to the murder of her parents. So, is this Tong Wu related to this case? Lin Fei thought.

Looking at the thoughtful expression on Shang Feng's face, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu knew that Shang Feng had already remembered it, so they did not waste any time on the details of the case, but talked about the connection between the case and Tong Wu.

"That incident was rumored to be a ghostly and terrifying incident, which left a deep impression on the witness, and he has not forgotten it even after so many years. The butcher involved was close to Tong Wu back then. According to the witness, there was no change after the incident. Something happened to Tongwu's parents on that day. After that, Tongwu was so-called 'very touched' and ran away from home and never came back." When Liu Yuan said this, he added, "We have never been together again. They were in contact.”

It was indeed such a coincidence that things happened almost at the same time.

Through Tong Wu, who has been dead for twenty years, the case of Liu Sanqing and his party and Mrs. Lu's parents are connected in series.

Therefore, Liu Sanqing and his group robbed and killed the wealthy businessman Tong Wu, gained wealth, and perhaps gained something else, so that their "encounter" changed.

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 were kind and honest people. If they knew that Tong Wu was involved in such a thing, it would be very likely that something would happen if they got angry and upset." Liu Yuandao said, "Moreover, Tong Wu was too lazy to do anything before and ended up causing trouble. Tong's father It’s not just once or twice that Tongmu has been angry. She has an old illness, and the doctor often said that the two of them can’t be angry anymore, but Tongwu..."

"What a reformed 'filial son'!" Bai Zhu answered and couldn't help snorting coldly, "I don't know whether he left home because he was touched by his parents being angry to death, or because he was afraid that the butcher's murder case would be implicated. It's easy to say. Otherwise, how could the relationship between the fellow villagers be so completely severed?"

Liu Yuan also said "hmm" when he heard this, deeply agreeing with it.

"Furthermore, when Liu Sanqing and others robbed and killed Tong Wu, according to eyewitnesses, Tong Wu, who returned home in rich clothes, returned to Chang'an, not Xianyang." Bai Zhu continued, "Although the two places are not far apart, they can After all, there is still a distance, so why did he change his parents' cemetery to his hometown regardless of the fact that it is in Xianyang?"

"Now the evidence has been burned and the witness is dead. I was the only one present at the time, and we couldn't prove it..." Liu Yuan's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but said bitterly, "What a cruel move, directly killing someone." , extremely arrogant!"

Judging from Tong Wu's past, he is very likely to be involved in the case, but now that he is dead and there is no definite evidence, he cannot be brought to the court and can only be used as a direction for their investigation.

Looking at the two people with gloomy expressions, Lin Fei felt a little sad in his heart, but he still spoke to comfort him: "Even with the testimony of witnesses, there was no physical evidence that Tong Wu was involved in the butcher's robbery and murder of the wealthy businessman. Tong Wu has been dead for more than 20 years. Although this matter is important, it will not be impossible to investigate without this evidence."

"The butcher killed the wealthy businessman to seize wealth..." Lin Fei paused at this point, but then said meaningfully, "At least according to the current evidence, it was just to seize wealth."

As soon as Lin Fei said these words, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu, who had originally looked gloomy, felt their hearts skip a beat: there was actually a gap of sixty seconds between a seemingly simple case of murder and property grabbing. This case... eh, no, There are some omissions in this case!

"No one knows how much money that rich businessman had back then, except the two rich businessmen who died and the butcher who also died." Liu Yuan said, "The 'big filial son' Tong Wu was used to being spoiled. If he only had that little money, He left his hometown just after giving birth. Could it be that he is actually a talented person in business, but he was young and ignorant at first?"

Although there are many stories of prodigal sons turning around and not being able to exchange for gold, but looking at the world, how could such a young and ignorant person suddenly wake up and become a wealthy businessman and a genius?

Such people may exist, but they are extremely rare. It is possible that Tong Wu is such a person, but... judging from the past habits and subsequent actions of people like Tong Wu, the other possibility is much greater.

"The silver found by the butcher may not be all the belongings of the dead wealthy businessmen. It may be only half, or even a small part. Tong Wu may be the biggest beneficiary of this case that year." Bai Zhu thought for a while and said , "Because the money came from an improper source, he acted in such a low-key manner. It wasn't until Liu Sanqing and his group 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's confession, this case was committed by them. Twenty years later, the amount of money recovered from the perpetrators of the robbery is still astonishing. We have previously lamented the murder of the wealthy businessman Tong Wu. In terms of wealth, he is the richest man and a wealthy businessman in any place. How come you have never heard of this person before?" Liu Yuan said, "It's because he is engaged in overseas business, and the money in the accounts is not easy to check. The reason is a little too far-fetched, and there is no news about Tong Wu among the merchants who are engaged in maritime business. If this person had not died, it would be as if he did not exist at all, and he was well hidden."

The fact is that until Tong Wu was robbed and killed, all the government knew was that a wealthy businessman was killed, and they had no idea how much money was taken away.

It wasn't until the case of Liu Sanqing and his group came out that we learned about the corner of the Jinshan Mountain.

If so...

"The money that the wealthy pair of businessmen who were first robbed and killed can be said to be as rich as any other country," Liu Yuan said and couldn't help but marvel, "Where did the money of the wealthy businessmen come from? Doing business?"

"The investigation by Liu Sanqing and his team found Tong Wu. They originally thought that Tong Wu was innocent, but after the investigation, they found that Tong Wu was most likely not innocent! The pair of wealthy businessmen are so powerful, although they are not as innocent as Tong Wu. This man, before he was killed, was just a small local wealthy businessman." Bai Zhuyue said and frowned more and more, "So...if it weren't for the fact that Tong Wu, Liu Sanqing and others who killed people and took wealth later were not business geniuses, The money accumulated in their hands turned into a lot, so where did the wealthy businessmen get the money in the first place?"

When he mentioned that the two groups of people who killed people and took money were both "business wizards," Bai Zhu's tone was a bit subtle: "Do the 'business wizards' really have to be reduced to being bandits who kill people and steal money?" ?”

Just as they were talking, the escorts had already pushed the escort cart over. As the escorts said, there were no valuable items in the box, just ordinary silk cloth and some gold and silver objects.

It's expensive, but it's not uncommon.

"As promised, we went outside the city gate on the second day we arrived in Xianyang. From morning till night, no Huangshan people came to pick up the goods," the bodyguards said. I also sent people outside the city gate, but they didn't wait. So, the goods are still in our hands."

Lin Fei, who had seen the goods in the box, waited until the escorts had finished talking, then turned around and asked the escorts: "What is the name of this employer?"

"The employer calls himself Wen Daosan." When the escorts said this, they looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then said, "This escort trip was actually scheduled at the beginning of the year, but they still didn't give me a time to wait for departure. Every time I waited, he would add some money and let me wait and wait until the end of the year."
