Still No Clues
Think about it now.
Fu Nansheng walked home with the sold out fish basket. He was still holding a few pieces of silver and copper coins in his hand. He weighed them in his hand, counted them, and hummed a tune.
However, when he reached the middle of the alley, a black shadow suddenly flashed behind him and snatched the broken silver from his hand with lightning speed.
However, Fu Nansheng was not a weakling. He immediately reacted, so he still had a piece of silver and a copper coin in his hand.
The robber was Cui Gensheng.
Why did he snatch it?
Because his family was not rich, he could not earn much money from the ferry, and he still had his wife and children to support, so he had the idea of robbing.
Who was he robbing?
He thought of Fu Nansheng, who had a big fight with him not long ago.
So he got up early and went to the alley to wait
Think again.
Cui Gensheng wanted to run after snatching the money, but Fu Nansheng saw him.
At first, he wanted to snatch it and run away. It was still dark anyway, and no one could see what he looked like. But now that he was exposed, he was afraid that Fu Nansheng would drag him to the authorities. Coupled with the hatred accumulated from their quarrel, he would kill Fu Nansheng in a hurry.
With that, he had a rough idea of the case in his mind.
"Let's go to the Cui family."
Fang Jun immediately ordered.
If it was really as he thought, then he couldn't help but feel that Cui Gensheng held a grudge and was immoral.
With the bailiffs, the bailiffs rushed to the Cui family, but there was no one there. Even the family was gone.
Fang Jun thought that Cui Gensheng was afraid to take his family and escape after killing someone.
However, Cui Gensheng's neighbor's old lady told him that Cui Gensheng had gone to the ferry, and his wife and mother had taken his son to the fields.
Fang Jun quickly brought his men to the ferry.
At this moment, there was only one ferry at the ferry. A man in his thirties was standing on the boat, waiting for the guests to cross the river.
"Cui Gensheng?"
Fang Jun walked straight over, flashing his county office token as he asked.
The people on the ship were obviously stunned, but they immediately nodded in a daze.
"I am Cui Gensheng. Sir, you guys are…"
Cui Gensheng pointed at the bailiffs beside Fang Jun.
"I understand that you're involved in a murder case, so I'll need you to come with me."”
As he spoke, Fang Jun waved his hand behind him, and a few bailiffs came forward to take Cui Gensheng out of the boat.
Fang Jun had been observing Cui Gensheng's reaction, but it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Cui Gensheng's behavior.
However, as a commoner, Cui Gensheng was so calm that he was a little abnormal.
Just like Liu Lin who stole the money earlier.
Finally, he returned to the county office and Fang Jun immediately went to the court to handle the case.
The sound of the gavel was so loud that Cui Gensheng shivered.
Fang Jun stared at the change in Cui Gensheng's expression and didn't interrogate him directly. Instead, he waved to the constables on both sides.
"Go and investigate Cui Gensheng's whereabouts today. You must investigate carefully and not miss any clues.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Yes, sir!"
The two constables responded and left.
Cui Gensheng looked at it and sweat appeared on his forehead.
He smiled awkwardly." Sir, I'm just a boatman. I usually abide by the law. This murder case…"
He stopped talking.
Fang Jun sat majestically in the court and looked at the people below. He listened to Cui Gensheng and took out the clues recorded in the book by Chen Sheng.
"Cui Gensheng, from West Street in the west of the city, makes a living by ferrying. A year ago, he quarreled with Fu Nansheng, who was also on West Street, because of Li Xingde crossing the river?”
Cui Gensheng nodded blankly.
"Your Excellency is right, but…what does this have to do with a murder case?”
"You don't know?" Fang Jun raised his eyebrows.”
As he spoke, he flipped the book in his hand and said,"This morning, Fu Nansheng's father came to the county government to report that Fu Nansheng was killed in the only alley leading to West Street in the market.”
Cui Gensheng appeared extremely innocent." Sir, you just said that I had a big fight with Fu Nansheng more than a year ago. I believe that you must have known that I had a big fight with Fu Nansheng and never contacted him again. How would I know that he was killed?”
"Oh?"
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows again. It was obvious that Fang Jun had already subconsciously believed that Cui Gensheng was the murderer of Fu Nansheng, so no matter what Cui Gensheng said, he didn't want to believe it.
But no matter how he asked, Cui Gensheng insisted that he had nothing to do with that matter.
Fang Jun couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that things were not as he thought?
But if there was another truth, what could it be?
"Cui Gensheng, is your family rich?”Fang Jun suddenly asked.
Facing Fang Jun's inexplicable question, Cui Gensheng was obviously stunned, but he still answered truthfully,"I'm the only one who earns money in my family, so I'm naturally a little tight.”
"Yes, I've examined Fu Nansheng's body and speculated that Fu Nansheng was robbed when he was alive. In the end, Fu Nansheng was accidentally killed during the dispute between the two of them. Therefore, when Fu Nansheng died, he was still clutching the silver coins tightly in his hand.”
Cui Gensheng was stunned again." Sir, do you mean to suspect that I stole Fu Nansheng's money and killed him?"”
Fang Jun nodded." Fu Nansheng is usually an honest person. He has never made enemies with anyone. He only had an argument with you a year ago. According to what I know, you almost got into a fight. Therefore, you are the biggest suspect in Fu Nansheng's death.”
Chui Gensheng was helpless, but he didn't refute immediately. Instead, he looked straight into Fang Jun's eyes. After a long time, he sighed and said,
"Sir, this is just a small matter. I wouldn't have harmed Fu Nansheng's life because of that argument. Moreover, even if my family is short of money, my mother taught me not to commit murder and robbery.”
Fang Jun was speechless.
However, he couldn't believe that Cui Gensheng was innocent.
Coincidentally, at this moment, the constable Fang Jun sent out to investigate Cui Gensheng's whereabouts returned.
Fang Jun once again carefully observed Cui Gensheng's expression.
Calm, too calm.
However, Fang Jun still caught a trace of panic in Cui Gensheng's eyes.
Maybe Cui Gensheng was afraid that the two bailiffs would really find out something.
Fang Jun retracted his gaze and turned to the two bailiffs, asking,"Did you find anything?"
The two bailiffs looked at each other, and one of them cupped his hands and replied,"Milord, I have tried my best not to let go of any clues, but I still haven't found anything.”
