Chapter 94 The Murderer
In the end, a fist-sized glass-green jadeite was extracted from the stone. Although it was completely incomparable to the imperial green, it was still considered to be the top grade jadeite.The bidders have raised the price to 300 million.

"Sell it?" Jiang Zheng asked Baitang.

Bai Tang shook his head: "I want to keep it and make some pendants and bracelets for my parents. Do you have a carving master here?"

"Of course there is. Master Qin is an old craftsman with very few skills. I will take you to see him later. If you have any requirements, you can directly tell Master Qin. Master Qin can definitely make accessories that satisfy you."

"That's great!" Baitang was happy.

"Are you still able to solve the remaining two pieces?"

"untie!"

The second stone was about the size of a basketball, and there was nothing inside. Everyone was a little disappointed, and then they focused their attention on the third stone.Everyone hoped to get another piece of emerald, but they also knew that it was impossible for a person to be so lucky. If you choose three stones, you can get two pieces of jade, unless you are an expert in this industry.But the young girl in front of her didn't look like a professional at all.

Jiang Zheng put a football-sized stone on the gas cutting machine. Like everyone else, he didn't think that emeralds could be produced from this stone. He couldn't have looked twice, but Zhang Feng secretly hinted that he was optimistic about this stone.Jiang Zheng didn't know why Zhang Feng had so much confidence in Baitang, he was clearly an outsider in the stone gambling world.

"Baitang, I still underestimated you." Zhang Feng walked to Baitang's side.

Baitang pretended to be stupid: "What?"

Zhang Feng did not answer, with an expression of "I understand, I understand".

Baitang rubbed his nose: "I'm really just lucky!"

Zhang Feng squinted his eyes, obviously "I believe you are a fool".

Baitang spread out his hands, there is nothing you can do if you don't believe me.

"It's green, it's up again, it's up!" the crowd began to cheer.

"It's not green, it's purple, it's violet! This girl is so lucky!"

"There are a lot of good things in this store. Three pieces of emeralds were sold within an hour."

"The God of Wealth is drinking tea in this shop today, why don't I go pick a stone too."

"Together."

"En. Wait for the boss to finish removing that rock before going."

Jiang Zheng finished unpacking the rough stone, and a pink-purple jadeite the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Feng was excited: "It's 'Hongchun', the highest grade of violet jade. Baitang, your 'luck' is really great."

The word luck is very heavy.

"Spring? Why is purple called spring? Shouldn't it be green?" Bai Tang was full of doubts.

"The 'spring' in jade refers to violet, and the green is called 'cai'." Zhang Feng explained to Bai Tang, "For example, 'spring with color' refers to jade with both colors at the same time. Violet According to the different shades of purple, it is divided into three types: pink purple, eggplant purple and blue purple, corresponding to red spring, purple spring and blue spring. Red spring has a finer texture and better transparency, followed by purple spring, while blue spring generally has a thicker texture Thick, it can also be called purple beans.”

"Is this one for sale?" Jiang Zheng walked to the two of them holding the purple jadeite.

"You want it?" Bai Tang asked.

Jiang Zheng nodded.

Baitang smiled: "I'm not selling it, I'm giving it to you!"

Jiang Zheng took a deep breath: "You are such a local tyrant!"

Bai Tang: "The wealthy man next to me is the rich man, I'm just a loser."

Jiang Zheng smiled: "It doesn't matter if you are a local tyrant or a hanging silk, since you have given me something, I will be disrespectful. At most, you won't be charged processing fees."

"Then thank you." Baitang narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I made a lot of money today."

"I am the one who makes the most money. Not only did I get a good jadeite for nothing, but the business of the small shop also exploded."

The three of them looked at the open space where the rough stones were placed. All the people who were spectators at the door flocked to the open space to pick stones, and some even quarreled over the same stone.

"You have brought me so much popularity and wealth, I have to thank you very much. I will treat you tonight and have a big meal."

"I want to eat hotpot mutton!" Zhang Feng interrupted.

"The one I want to invite is Baitang, not you. You are just accompanying the guests and have no right to order food." Jiang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"Just eat mutton! I really want to eat mutton."

"Okay. Then I'll take you to eat authentic Beijing boiled mutton."

To eat authentic mutton, it is natural to go to "Donglaishun" in the capital.The founder of Donglaishun is a Muslim named Ding Deshan. In 1903, he set up a stall in Dong'an Market to sell mutton mixed noodles and buckwheat noodle cut cakes, and later added pancakes and porridge.As the business is booming day by day, the signboard of Donglaishun porridge stall was officially hung up, which means "from Jingdong, everything goes well".After more than 100 years of development, Donglaishun's Muslim dishes, as an important branch of Jinghua cuisine, are well-known throughout the country.

After eating a delicious meal of boiled mutton, Baitang went back to the hotel and took a good night's sleep. After waking up, he turned on the computer and prepared to book a flight back to City D. The glass jadeite was handed over to Jiang Zhengze. Jiang Zheng then mailed it to City D for her - she had just placed an order and hadn't paid for it, so she canceled the order with a phone call.

Tian Yuan: "Bai Tang, do you know a guy named Ye Xiang, and you went to his house the day before yesterday?"

Baitang: "That's right. What's the matter? He's just an ordinary person, right? How did he offend you?"

Tian Yuan: "His girlfriend died, the same as the previous three deceased. The clue he gave me said that you killed his girlfriend!"

Bai Tang laughed angrily: "Me? Is he confused or talking in his sleep? How can he tell such an easily exposed lie?"

Tian Yuan: "Have you ever offended him?"

Baitang: "No. His mother and my mother are good friends. He entrusted me to bring things back to City D for his parents, but we just had a meal at his house, so no one will offend the other."

Tian Yuan: "But he insisted that it was you."

Bai Tang: "Where is he? I want to see him."

"In the Criminal Police Brigade. I'll pick you up!"

"Thank you so much."

After knocking on the door for a long time, the door slowly opened from the inside.Seeing the person who opened the door, Baitang was taken aback, and he didn't see him for a day. Ye Xiang seemed to be ten years older, and his whole body was depressed.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Baitang, Ye Xiang was surprised and flashed a trace of hatred.

"I heard that your girlfriend passed away, I'm here to find out about the situation." Bai Tang pushed Ye Xiang away, and went straight into the room with Tian Yuan.

Bai Tang and Tian Yuan walked to the sofa, and there were many photos messily scattered on the tea table in front of them, all of them were Mo Xinyu's, and there was also a group photo of Mo Xinyu and Ye Xiang.

"You killed her, are you satisfied?" Ye Xiang's angry voice sounded above his head.

Bai Tang raised his head and stared at Ye Xiang coldly: "Your girlfriend is dead, what does it matter to me?"

"Why is it none of your business? If you didn't want me to go home to see my parents, how could I have been with Xin Yu, and how could she have run out at night and been killed? It's all your fault!"

"So you told the police that I was a murderer? You are venting your anger!"

"So what? It wasn't you, how could Xin Yu die? You are the murderer, the murderer!" Ye Xiang yelled out of control.

"Tch——" Tian Yuan sneered, "I understand. Your girlfriend ran out because of arguing with you and was murdered. You can't accept this reality, and you don't want to admit that you killed her by driving her away in anger, so you want to Pass on the responsibility and push the blame onto others. Hmph, your approach is extremely contemptible, and I am even more cowardly."

"It's not only cowardly, but also unfilial. I actually put the importance of my girlfriend before my parents. With such a character, I really feel chills for my aunt and uncle." Baitang was really angry, and he spoke unceremoniously and meanly, " Going home to see your parents is the responsibility of being a child. It’s not just you, but your girlfriend’s character is even worse. I’m lucky for my uncle and aunt. Fortunately, she died, otherwise there would be such a daughter-in-law. People's old age is worrying."

"Shut up, shut up!" Ye Xiang shouted and squatted down, holding his head and crying, "It's my fault, everything is my fault!"

Bai Tang and Tian Yuan looked at each other, and didn't provoke Ye Xiang any more.After half an hour, Ye Xiang regained his composure.He stood up and bowed deeply to Baitang: "I'm sorry!"

"Forget it. I understand how you feel!" Baitang waved his hand, deciding to expose this matter, anyway, it didn't have a bad influence on her.

"Did anything special happen in the days before your girlfriend died?" Tian Yuan began to ask.

"No, there's nothing left. Just go to and from work as usual. The only time I left early was to entertain Baitang. I've told you this several times at the police station." After Ye Xiang returned to normal, she walked to the refrigerator and took out the Passed two glasses of Coke to Baitang and Tian Yuan, "I'm sorry, there is no boiling water, only Coke is available for drinking."

Tian Yuan took the can of Coke and opened it, took a sip, caught a glimpse of Baitang not moving, just staring at a corner of the coffee table, and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Baitang picked up a photo and asked Tian Yuan: "Do you remember this person?"

"Who is it?" Tian Yuan took the photo.The photo was of Mo Xinyu alone, but there were several passers-by behind her, and one of them, a middle-aged man, looked familiar.

"This person was also at the scene where the first deceased was found, and I asked him to call the police." Bai Tang said, "The deceased in both cases are related to him, do you think he might be the murderer? "

Tian Yuan immediately took out his mobile phone: "I asked Lao Chen to check it immediately."

"Well, can you notify me when you catch the murderer?" Ye Xiang asked, "I want to scold him in front of him."

"Small idea." Tian Yuan agreed, he understood Ye Xiang's thoughts, if he encountered Ye Xiang's situation, he would not just scold the murderer, at least beat him half to death to relieve his hatred.

The two of them drove back to the city, and halfway there, Chen Jianguo replied.The middle-aged man was indeed the most suspected. Chen Jianguo had already brought someone to arrest him. When the two returned to the criminal police brigade, they could catch up with Chen Jianguo to ask the murderer's statement.

The murderer was calm and honestly confessed his crime after being caught.

"I killed all four of them." The murderer explained calmly.

"You killed all four? The third one too?"

"it's me!"

After hearing the murderer's explanation, Bai Tang, Tian Yuan and others wanted to light a row of candles for Ma Congyun and give him a bunch of glaze leaves.The details of the death scene of the third victim were different from the first two. The reason was that the murderer was sick that day and was not feeling well. He had to kill the person and hastily arranged the scene before leaving. As a result, the police suspected that this case was different from the first two. The accident was not done by one person, and the innocent Ma Congyun was arrested as a suspect.

"What was your motive for killing four people?" Chen Jianguo continued to ask.

The murderer was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy tone: "A year ago, a young girl was drowned in a lake in a park near University City, and that girl was my daughter."

"My wife died of dystocia during childbirth. My daughter and I depend on each other for life. My daughter is the focus and everything of my life."

"March 15 last year was my daughter's birthday. She is [-] years old and is about to enter high school. Her academic performance is very good. The teacher said that she will definitely be able to enter a key high school and then a key university. After graduation Find a good job, start a family, and give birth to my grandson... As a result, she will die and leave me forever when she turns fifteen in one day..."

"We sympathize with what happened to your daughter, but it cannot be a reason for you to kill other people." Chen Jianguo said.

"Damn them!" The murderer became irritable upon hearing this, and said through gritted teeth, "If they didn't refuse to save her, how could my daughter die?"

"At that time, if one of them extended a helping hand, my daughter would not have died at all? What happened? They turned around and died indifferently, not caring about the life of a flower girl. Since they don't care about other people's life, why do I Can't decide their life or death?"

The murderer's eyes were bloodshot, full of hatred, and his spirit began to become abnormal.

"Don't they turn a blind eye? So I gouged out their eyes; they have feet and hands but they are only used to stay away from the lake instead of entering the water to save people. What's the use of hands and feet? It's better to cut them off! Hehe, my daughter It's very lonely down here alone, so I send them down to accompany my daughter, to be my daughter's slaves..."

"Have you ever thought that the place where your daughter fell into the water is so remote that they didn't see your daughter fall into the water?" Chen Jianguo asked.He sighed in his heart, the father who lost his daughter is indeed worthy of sympathy, but this cannot be a reason for him to hurt others.At the same time, he sighed for the indifference of today's society. If the four deceased could lend a helping hand in the first place, how could they have caused the death of a young girl, and even ruined their own lives.

"I want to go back to the hotel." Bai Tang was in a low mood. Such a tragedy could have been avoided.

"I'll see you off!" Tian Yuan was also in a bad mood.

"Baitang!" Hearing the call, Baitang turned around and saw Ling Xin covered in dust.

"It's really you. Are you coming to the capital too?" Ling Xin pulled the box and walked to Bai Tang's side.

"Are you here to look for Ma Congyun?" It seems that even if she didn't say anything, Ling Xin knew about her boyfriend's situation and came to the capital in a hurry.
