Golden Peacock - Maung San Sya's detective story in the Mogok Inheritance Case

Maung San Sya's investigation into the Mogok Inheritance Case

One day, while Maung San Sha was busy with the robbery and murders in Nyaungkan village, a young, lively girl, about 23 years old, entered the room.

“ Is U San Shar here, sir?” he asked. Maung San Shar was thinking about the murder and, as he always disliked being disturbed while he was working, he looked confused.

" Yes, my dear, but there is still one thing to do," he replied, and the girl looked at Maung San Xia's face with a small smile.

" Even though I'm busy with work, I came here to consult with you. I don't think it's a good idea to drive home," he said, seeing the girl's smiling face and smiling as if he had imagined it.

" Hey, what's the matter, teacher? I have to listen to you for ten minutes."

Girl .. “How did you know I was a teacher?”

" If you were to say, 'If you were to teach English to 100 girls, 90 would have slightly curved hands, 95 would be good-natured, and 99 would be good teachers,'" the girl would laugh.

" Yes, sir, I'm a teacher. I'd like you to be patient and listen to my story."

"Speak, speak, ten minutes."

Young lady .. “Good morning, sir, I am a widow, my father has been dead for five years. My father had a younger brother who disappeared ten years ago. I heard the news in Mogok. But since he disappeared, he has not sent me any letters or visited me. I only heard the news when I met him. Now, I have not heard from him since my father passed away. While I was like this, one day two people came to our house and asked. They were my uncle and friends. They were very friendly. When they arrived in Yangon, they asked me to come in.”

" Shar .. "When did this happen, how long ago?"

M.. “It’s been about two months.”

Shay .. “Okay, tell me.”

"One of these two men is Ko Ery, a Moe Kot Shan. He is not a big man, but he has a very handsome face and a very charming face. One of them is about thirty years old, U Lin , he speaks softly and smoothly. The other is about twenty-five years old, with fair skin and a good-looking face. So this big man, U Lin, heard that our mother and son were unemployed because of the boyars. He had a daughter and a child. He was staying in the village for a while now and would return in about three months. So, before they returned to Moe Kot,

Girl .. "No, sir."

" Sh... 'There's only one way, right? Are you still looking far away?"

Girl.. “Look, it’s dust from the road.”

"Shah .. Aren't there any houses around here?"

The girl said , "To the north, there are only fields, and to the south, I see a big house nearby. However, the people don't seem to be there. That's it, sir. I don't want to share this with you, so I came here to see if we could do something together." Maung San Xia thought for a moment, then said,

"Shah .. "Let me ask you something, are girls shy?"

Girl .. “I’m not shy, just ask.”

"Shar.. "Do you have any girlfriends?"

Girl .. (face down and shy) “Yes, sir, but there is no way I can make it up to you.”

Shay.. (Smiling) “Oh, Ko Tin Aung, are there any other people who are infesting girls?” Girl .. No, there is only Ko Aery, the one I mentioned earlier.”

" Shh.. "Think about it, aren't there any other places like this?"

Young lady.. (Blushing) “I think U Lin has shown signs of love for me, but I have never talked about it openly. But women know that when they see a man’s face, they know whether he loves them or not.” Sha .. “But, is that so? What does this man do?”

Girl .. “In Moe Kot, he is a stone trader. He doesn’t do anything here, he just came to visit.”

"Shut up, girl, I'm a little busy right now. I'll investigate this matter further later. But don't do anything without consulting me . "
