Chapter 384
: It may be a traitor.
After Ye Xing checked it again, he turned around and said to Changsun Ji: "Who has the key to this door?"
Changsunji was puzzled and quickly replied: "I have one, and the master of the Yamen has one."
Ye Xing smiled faintly: "Do you still have your key?"
Changsun Ji touched his body, then took out a key and replied: "Still there!"
Ye Xing took the key and then came to the door. He tried it and the key could open the lock on the door.
"Where is Master?"
At this time, a thin-looking man quickly walked out from behind Changsun Ji and said, "Master Ye, my subordinate is Ma Teng, the master of Qixing County."
"Do you still have your key?" Ye Xing didn't pay much attention to Master Ma Teng, but asked coldly.
Seeing this, Ma Teng quickly touched his body. After a while, he took out a key and handed it to Ye Xing. Ye Xing tried the lock again and was indeed able to open the lock on the door.
Ye Xing tried twice in a row, frowning, and finally asked after a long time: "Besides you, who else has the key to open this lock?"
Ma Teng glanced at Changsun Ji, and then quickly replied: "This kind of lock is a very thick lock, and the structure inside is also very complicated. No one can open it except our key, but our key never leaves our own." body, so I feel that no one can open this lock except the key in the hands of me and the magistrate."
Ye Xing also asked about the key because the lock was too strange. Now that Ma Teng said this, he was even more convinced of his idea.
"If you go by what Master Ma said, then the only ones who stole the body are the two of you!"
What Ye Xing said was an affirmative sentence, so Master Ma and Changsun Ji were shocked after hearing this. They knelt down and said, "Master Ye, it's unfair. What are we doing stealing the corpse here? It's really not us. ah!"
Ye Xing smiled faintly, of course he knew that the people who stole the body could not be Master Ma and Zhang Sunji, but he just wanted to do this to scare them, otherwise they would definitely not confess honestly.
"Since you didn't steal the body, but no one else could open the lock, do you think the body disappeared on its own?" Ye Xing looked at the two of them and asked coldly.
After Ye Xing asked this question, Changsun Ji and Master Ma didn't know how to answer for a moment. Logically speaking, Ye Xing's words made sense. Only the two of them had the key, and only the two of them had the ability to open it. This lock.
After a long time, Ye Xing saw that the two of them didn't answer, so he continued to ask: "What, you have nothing to say?"
Seeing this, Master Ma quickly said: "Back to Mr. Ye, we two really don't know!"
Ye Xing thought for a moment and smiled: "I don't think you two are likely to steal corpses, but you need to tell me who has come into contact with you two since the corpses were transported here yesterday?"
Master Ma thought for a while and said: "After the body was brought back, I stayed at the county government office and never left. I also kept the key to this lock very well and no one has ever shown it to anyone else."
Ye Xing nodded, and then looked at Changsun Ji. Changsun Ji was a little nervous. After a long while, he said: "After the body was brought back, I went to investigate where Pang Youcai drank the night before yesterday. During the investigation, I I did meet a few people, but it's unlikely that they could steal the key from me."
Ye Xing did not refute Changsun Ji's words, but just asked: "Who have you met?"
Changsunji thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Except Master Ye, those are Yuan Sheng, Bai Wei, and Xia Houying."
"Did you meet Xia Houying yesterday?" Ye Xing asked strangely.
Changsunji nodded: "He felt sorry for me because he asked me to lead troops to capture you because of the previous incident, so he wanted to invite me to dinner, but I didn't agree. I went back to the county government directly."
"Then how many times have you met him in total?" Ye Xing continued to ask.
"Just once, just that one time we met after leaving Yuzhu Medicine Shop!"
Ye Xing pondered, he felt that this matter was becoming more and more complicated, and more and more people were involved.
Seeing that Ye Xing was silent, Changsun Ji quickly said: "Master Ye, I really didn't steal the body. I won't steal the body. Really, Master Ye."
Ye Xing raised his eyes and looked at Changsun Ji, and then said: "Don't worry, I know you two didn't steal the body."
With Ye Xing's words, Changsun Ji and Ma Teng felt a little relieved.
After a long time, Ye Xing ordered: "Hurry up and send people to look for Pang Youcai's body. Look for it in places like Luofenggang. Let's go and tell Pang the news. Her son's body is missing. She It will definitely hurt."
After they left the county government, they went directly to Pang Youcai's home. When they arrived at Pang Youcai's home, Pang was sitting on her bed and sighing. When she saw Ye Xing and the others coming, she got out of bed excitedly. Said: "Master Ye, you have found out that my son was poisoned to death by that little bitch?"
Ye Xing looked at the old woman in front of him with a strange look. Why did she think that her son was poisoned by her daughter-in-law?
Could it be that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in ancient times was also so intense?
Ye Xing thought of this and smiled secretly. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been like this. It can be regarded as a tradition in China for thousands of years. It is expected that Pang and Xi Wenrou have a bad relationship.
When Pang saw Ye Xing looking at him with that look, he was startled and almost stepped back. At this time, Ye Xing said apologetically: "We haven't investigated this case yet. We are here to tell the elderly One thing, you...your son's body was placed in the county government office, but it was stolen last night."
After Ye Xing finished speaking, he looked at Pangzi. Pangzi was shocked and remained silent for a long time. Then he burst into tears and said frankly that his son's life was really hard. He was poisoned first, and now his body was stolen. , this is really unfair.
Pang was crying, leaving Ye Xing and the others at a loss as to what to do. They were very responsible for Pang's son's body being stolen. Now that Pang was sad, they could only comfort him.
They said so many good things that Pangzi finally stopped crying, but her eyes were very red. It seemed that what happened recently made her very sad.
