Chapter 177 177. A Secret

  Chu Qingzhi said, "If it's not for money, then it can basically be concluded that it was a vendetta."

  Old Master Tan excitedly emphasized, "Except for those people I betrayed, our family has no enemies!"

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Then he can't stab himself seven times, can he?"

  Mr. Tan lost his mind and said, "If it wasn't them, who would it be?"

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "What's your eldest son's personality like? I guess he might be his enemy or something." You can't go and stab someone to death for no reason.

  Grandpa Tan spoke highly of it, "My eldest son is smart and capable, and he is friendly. He hardly gets jealous with others. He loves his two younger brothers, treats his wife well, and is filial to our elders..."

   This is strange, how could such a good person attract vendetta?

  Chu Qingzhi turned her head and said to the policeman, "Go and bring me the file about Mr. Tan's eldest son."

  One of the arresters responded, "Yes, Miss Chu."

The dossier was retrieved quickly, and Chu Qingzhi looked at it from beginning to end. The case was very simple. Tan Ming hid from the rain in a ruined temple at night. He was stabbed seven times by gangsters and died of excessive blood loss. He was dizzy, and when he woke up, Tan Ming was already dead.

When Chu Qingzhi saw that he was stunned by the drug, his eyes stopped. This shows that the murderer came prepared. Since he was prepared, he must know Tan Ming's itinerary. He must have inquired about it, or he was an acquaintance, or the murderer In the same people.

   There are seven people accompanying Tan Ming to **** the goods, and these seven people are all servants of the Tan family.

  Chu Qingzhi looked at the confessions of the seven people respectively, and they all said that they passed out and didn't know anything.

  The clues are pitifully few.

  The catcher came in, "Miss Chu, I got the book Master Tan mentioned."

  Chu Qingzhi took it and flipped through it. The content written in the book, from the time when the garrison was preparing to rebel, to when Mr. Tan moved to Shuiyun County, was similar to what Mr. Tan described.

  She gave the book to the head catcher, "Put it away carefully."

  The head catcher replied, "Yes."

  Chu Qingzhi stopped the headhunter, "How long have you been working in the Yamen?"

  The arrester didn't know why, but he answered honestly, "It's been ten years."

  Tan Ming's case happened seventeen years ago. Chu Qingzhi asked, "Then do you know any more experienced arresters? For example, those who handled the case more than ten years ago?"

  The head catcher thought for a while and asked, "Ten years ago?"

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Seventeen years."

  The head catcher thought for a while, "I know a few of them, I don't know why Miss Chu is looking for such a catcher?"

  Chu Qingzhi showed Tan Ming's file to the head arrester, "I want to find the arrester who handled this case, can the head arrester find this person?"

  The head catcher looked through the file, "Miss Chu, it is my uncle who handled this case."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "That's a coincidence, can you invite him to the county government?"

  Catcher said, "I'll invite you right away."

  Chu Qingzhi turned to look at Mr. Tan, "Did Tan Ming show any abnormalities before and after the accident?"

  Mr. Tan was lost in thought, then slowly shook his head, "No."

  Chu Qingzhi asked the police to take Mr. Tan out quickly, and then invited Tan Ming's wife in.

   Mrs. Tan is a typical boudoir lady. She was taken into the room alone at this time, and she was very nervous. "Girl, what do you want to ask?"

  Chu Qingzhi said, "I want to ask about your husband Tan Ming."

   Mrs. Tan became agitated immediately. She knelt down in front of Chu Qingzhi, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, "Girl, please find the murderer who killed my husband. The murderer is still at large and must be brought to justice."

  Chu Qingzhi helped Mrs. Tan up and sat down on the chair again, "Mrs., if you want me to catch the murderer, you can't hide anything, understand?"

   Mrs. Tan nodded, "I will tell you everything I know."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded and asked, "Did Tan Ming have any abnormalities before the accident? For example, he was in a bad mood, couldn't sleep well, or he was arguing with someone, saying something repeatedly, feeling restless or something?"

   Mrs. Tan fell into memory, and she said after a while, "Tan Ming had a quarrel with his third brother the day before the accident."

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "Why are you arguing?"

Mrs. Tan wiped her tears with a handkerchief, "...The third brother originally transported the goods, but the father-in-law felt that the third brother was unsteady, so he changed his mind and didn't let him go. He felt uncomfortable and came to Tan Ming to quarrel. One."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "How is the relationship between the two brothers?"

Mrs. Tan said, "Tan Ming feels that he is the eldest brother and should share more in everything, so he takes good care of his two younger brothers and loves them very much. He always sticks to them with good food and drink. The two younger brothers also respect Tan Ming very much. The three brothers get along very well."

  Chu Qingzhi said, "Ma'am, has Tan Ming had any grudges with anyone?"

   Mrs. Tan said affirmatively, "No, no, my husband is kind, respects his elders, loves his brothers, and takes care of his servants. He has never been in a hurry with anyone, let alone formed a grudge."

  Chu Qingzhi nodded her head, "Thank you Madam for your cooperation, there is no problem."

  Butou brought Chu Qingzhi a bowl of tea, "Miss Chu, sit down and rest for a while."

  The layout of this room is similar to the layout of the trial hall, but Chu Qingzhi never sat down, she just stood aside and asked questions.

  Chu Qingzhi took the tea and took a sip, "You don't need to rest, please invite the eldest lady out, and then invite Tan Erye in."

  The head catcher agreed, "Okay."

  Tan Erye has a flirtatious nature, with a thin figure, sloppy footsteps, and squinting eyes are always lingering in his eyes.

  He sat on the chair and looked up at Chu Qingzhi. He didn't expect to see a little beauty, and his eyes lit up immediately, "The little girl is also here to be a policeman these days?"

  Chu Qingzhi immediately frowned, and immediately gave Tan Erye a nightmare. When he was sleeping at night, the beautiful woman in the dream would suddenly turn into a terrifying evil ghost, allowing him to taste the evil consequences of being a womanizer, which lasted for half a month.

   "Second Master Tan, your eldest brother died unexpectedly, did you know?"

  Speaking of this, Second Master Tan lost his expression and looked away, "I know, I brought his body back from the yamen and stabbed him seven times. I don't know what kind of deep hatred it is?!"

  Chu Qingzhi asked, "According to what you know, who might your elder brother have grudge against?"

  Second Master Tan unexpectedly said, "Who else, it must be my third brother!" He glanced at Chu Qingzhi, "There is a secret that none of you know."

"The current eldest lady is originally the person my third brother likes, and I also agreed to marry my third brother, but my father is biased towards my elder brother, and when he was a matchmaker, he deliberately said my third brother's name, in fact, he was marrying someone to my elder brother. "

   Tan Erye smiled mockingly, "Actually, this matter is a bit complicated."

   "Before the eldest lady got married, she met my eldest brother in the temple."

   "That day, Da Furen's cousin wanted to frame her, so she proposed to stay in the temple for one night. It happened that my elder brother was also in the temple, so he saved Da Furen."

   "I don't know what's going on, but the eldest lady mistook the elder brother for the third younger brother, and said that she would agree with her body."

   "On the wedding night, the eldest lady almost committed suicide when she saw that her husband was not the third younger brother, but the two resolved their misunderstanding during the conversation and fell in love with each other ever since."

   "However, the third brother didn't know it. He thought that the eldest brother took the love with a knife, and he has held a grudge ever since."

   Damn, why are there so many dramas in the Tan family? Chu Qingzhi was silent.
