Chapter 36 The Truth Comes Out
Xu Yunfeng stroked his moustache with a hint of pride and said:
"It's simple. Shen Liu must die."
Stay?
Zeng Anmin remained silent and continued to look at Xu Yunfeng.
"As a martial artist, a high-ranking warrior, a healthy and healthy person, he started coughing up blood due to illness in just a few days and passed away not long after. Isn't this a bit strange?"
"If Shen Liu's death was tampered with, who is the first suspect?" Xu Yunfeng looked at Shen Jun slowly with a leisurely expression.
"I guess it must be Mr. Shen who wants to take over the caravan quickly!"
“What nonsense!!”
When Shen Jun heard Xu Yunfeng's words, his face turned red instantly.
He wished he could rush up right away and bite this wretched Xuan Jingsi Shangguan to death.
"My uncle treats me like his own son, how could I possibly do such a beastly thing?! Forget taking over the fleet, even if I could give away all my wealth and return it to my uncle, if I hesitate for a moment, I'll be unworthy of being raised by a human being!!"
Obviously, being slandered like this has touched his bottom line.
As a result, I now speak inappropriately.
"How dare you commit treason! Do you want to die?!!!"
A man in red clothes suddenly looked cold and drew the sword from his waist.
Xuan Jingsi doesn’t care which big merchant you are the young master of.
Zeng Anmin smiled faintly, he looked at Xu Yunfeng and said:
"You Dianli's words have really enlightened me."
"oh?"
Xu Yunfeng raised his eyebrows slightly, and a relieved smile appeared on his face:
"Brother, do you agree with my inference?"
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly.
Shen Jun's body trembled, and then he looked at Zeng Anmin in disbelief.
Those who were close to Shen Jun also looked sad.
Of course, there were also a small group of people who subconsciously clenched their fists, their faces turning nervous and excited...
"No, your words make me more convinced that Mr. Shen is not a suspect."
"Shen Liu has no descendants, and Mr. Shen is the only legitimate son left in the Shen family. He only needs to follow the routine and live a rich life, and then smoothly take over the fleet a hundred years after Shen Liu's death."
"Why bother? He's rich, not sick."
"And more importantly..." Zeng Anmin slowly looked towards Shen Jun.
Um?
Xu Yunfeng paused stroking his beard and looked at Zeng Anmin in surprise.
Zeng Anmin raised his lips slightly, he slowly came to Shen Jun and said softly:
"You've never practiced martial arts?"
Shen Jun looked a little confused, and nodded subconsciously:
"No, I've been weak since I was young. Forcing myself to learn martial arts would shorten my lifespan."
"Are you sure?!"
Zeng Anmin's eyes narrowed.
"Sure." Shen Jun was increasingly confused about what Zeng Anmin meant.
There were also many servants around who testified for Mr. Shen: "Young Master has indeed never practiced martial arts."
"Yeah, we all know that."
"Young Master, I have watched him grow up since he was a child."
“…………”
Hearing this, Zeng Anmin nodded with a smile. He looked at Zhenzhu who was beside Shen Jun and said softly:
"He wanted to strangle a woman in her early thirties to death without alerting anyone."
"Can an ordinary man do that?"
His voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it clearly!
In a word, straighten out all the ideas.
"this……"
"These two people can hear the voice of Shen Jun scolding Shen Liushi. If Shen Jun wants to strangle Shen Liushi to death, the noise will definitely be much louder than scolding twice..."
Zeng Anmin's face was serious, and his voice slowly reached everyone's ears:
"Not to mention him, even if he is a strong man, it is impossible for him to do this."
"So, the murderer must be at least a high-ranking warrior!"
Zeng Anmin's eyes swept over them one by one.
The impact of those almond-shaped eyes was so great that many people lowered their heads and dared not look up.
"So your speculation was made by the fleet's guards?"
The Shen family is based on a fleet and is in charge of transportation, so it is natural for them to have a defensive foundation at home.
A sneer flashed across Xu Yunfeng's face.
"Let's not talk about whether those guards had motives or not. If they had done it, these two slaves wouldn't be alive today."
Zeng Anmin's eyes were extremely calm:
"Furthermore, if the murderer wanted to enter the mourning hall in front of the two servants without being noticed, it would be impossible, unless it was a warrior of the third rank who did it personally."
"However, it is impossible for a mere merchant's wife to be involved with a warrior of the third rank."
Zeng Anmin slowly turned his head and fixed his gaze on the main hall, and a hint of animation seemed to appear in his eyes.
It was the animation of the murder case at the funeral hall that day.
"Strictly speaking, this case is a closed-room homicide."
"The crime was committed in a closed room, and the murderer is a martial artist."
"There also needs to be a motive for murder..."
"There's only one person who meets those criteria."
Zeng Anmin slowly looked towards the crowd.
At this point, the mystery is solved!!
"who?!"
Xu Yunfeng asked subconsciously.
Everyone looked at Zeng Anmin nervously.
"Shen Liu in the coffin."
Zeng Anmin slowly uttered a name that gave everyone goosebumps.
In an instant, the whole yard became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
When all the impossible is eliminated.
The remaining one is the truth, no matter how incredible it is.
After reading the file that day, Zeng Anmin carefully considered all the details in the file.
In fact, before coming to the Shen Mansion, Zeng Anmin had never set his sights on the other deceased.
It was not until Xu Yunfeng's words came out that he had a new idea.
How could he not see that although Xu Yunfeng seemed to be helping him solve the case, he was actually directing all the blame towards Shen Jun?
This Xu Yunfeng, his words were flawless.
But Zeng Anmin could still feel that he wanted to guide his thoughts, so that he could completely convict Shen Jun of murdering his aunt and then bring him to justice.
So what is his purpose in doing this?
Zeng Anmin slowly lowered his gaze to the main hall of the Shen Mansion.
Not sure yet.
But he had a vague feeling that Xu Yunfeng's actions were related to the Prince Jiang's Mansion.
"This... isn't it too bizarre? I saw my uncle's body with my own eyes."
There was an expression of incomparable absurdity on Shen Jun's face.
He felt like he was listening to a divine book.
"After a warrior reaches a certain level, he will have some magical properties."
Zeng Anmin raised his eyelids and said, "It's not difficult to fake death."
"this……"
Shen Jun was dumbfounded.
This reasoning was too bold...he simply couldn't accept it.
"Your aunt seduced you before the funeral and must have said some unpleasant things, right?"
Zeng Anmin looked at Shen Jun indifferently.
Shen Jun nodded with a grim expression.
Zeng Anmin remained calm, his voice steady:
"This is Shen Liu's motive for murder."
"As for why he faked his death..."
Zeng Anmin glanced at Xu Yunfeng without leaving any trace, and sighed softly:
"I think he offended someone he shouldn't have, and he's afraid of getting his family involved."
"Hahahaha!! Ridiculous!"
Xu Yunfeng burst into laughter at this moment. He even felt that Zeng Anmin had lost his mind. His laughter was extremely loud:
"In my opinion, Zeng Zuoshi should resign from the Xuanjing Division and become a storyteller in a teahouse! He'll surely make a killing by telling gripping stories!"
Who can't hear the sarcasm in the words?
Zeng Anmin just sneered:
"Just go to the tomb, open the coffin and examine it. Whether what I said is true or not, won't it be revealed immediately?!"
"absurd!!!"
Xu Yunfeng suddenly stopped smiling, raised his chin, his mustache trembling, and looked at Zeng Anmin with a cold expression:
"The dead are gone, and they have been buried for many days. Zeng Zuoli still handed the case over to me. Although I am not a master of solving cases, I am more reliable than Zeng Zuoli's nonsense!"
Zeng Anmin sneered:
"We're just opening the coffin for an autopsy. Why is Xu Youli so worried?"
Xu Yunfeng's face changed after hearing these ambiguous words.
