- "Everyone Sun, are you kidding?"
At this moment, Wang Yan didn't feel too heavy in his heart, because what Sun Miao said was so unbelievable that it was hard to believe that it was the truth.
"It happened three days ago. Zhuge Ke, the second son of the Hou Mansion, got married and married the princess of Shu. The princess of Shu is the daughter of the king of Shu. This marriage was arranged when they were young. Because of some The reason has been postponed until today. On the night of the wedding, the emperor's imperial chariot came to the Hou Mansion in person. Because he was happy and drank a few more drinks, and the dragon body was not very strong, he went to the backyard of the Hou Mansion to rest. The emperor wanted to be with him. The Marquis chatted about personal matters, then dismissed his guards and followers, and only protected them outside the courtyard. But then a scream came from the courtyard. When the minister of bodyguards rushed inside, what he saw was the emperor lying in a pool of blood. , and the pale-faced Marquis!"
When Sun Miao said this, she glanced at Wang Yan and said, "Do you think I'm still joking with you?"
Wang Yan felt cold in his hands and feet when he heard this. With the current status of Zhugehou Mansion, it is almost a big tree that is absolutely difficult to shake. It can be said that no matter what wind and rain it faces, this big tree will not fall down, but there are One exception, that is.
Regicide!
Such a serious crime is definitely unbearable even for Zhuge Wandai!
But at this time, Wang Yan was not only deeply surprised, but also had a question stuck in his throat - why?
Why did Zhuge Wandai want to regicide? He was already one person inferior to ten thousand people, and the Northern Expedition to destroy the country that he had promoted throughout his life was about to begin. Why did Zhuge Wandai do such an unwise act of destroying the city wall?
That¡¯s right! This is an absolutely unwise move! To put it bluntly, even Zhuge Wandai has a disobedient heart. If you want to usurp the state of Daxia, you can wait until after the Northern Expedition. By then, Zhuge Wandai's reputation will be higher, wouldn't it be more confident?
And even if you have to usurp the throne now, you don't have to choose the time when your son is getting married, and then kill the king when the two of them are alone, right? Such timing and means, not to mention Zhuge Wandai, who is astonishingly resourceful, even if Ordinary people would not make this choice!
"I know what you are thinking. I also know what you want to ask? But except for the bloody facts, no one knows the answer!"
Wang Yan couldn't help but said: "Then the Marquis didn't defend himself? Even if he really committed this serious crime, he should give a reason, right?"
"The Marquis didn't say anything. He stopped talking from then on. It's useless no matter who asks!"
Ah? Wang Yan was confused when he heard it. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. Why don't you speak?
"Is it possible that someone else assassinated the emperor, and what does the Marquis have to hide?"
Sun Miao's eyes turned to Wang Yan's face and said: "There are indeed other suspicions. Because afterwards, a secret passage was discovered in the room where the emperor was killed!"
"The secret passage?" Wang Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Did some murderer kill the emperor through the secret passage?"
"The other end of this secret passage is locked!"
"What's wrong with the lock? Does a guy who can kill someone in front of the Marquis still care about a lock?"
"The lock is made by Gongshu Miao. Unless there is a key, it is impossible to open it! And the only key is on the Marquis's body!"
"Ah?" Wang Yan was startled again when he heard this. How could there be Gongshu Miao, the best craftsman in the world, everywhere?
"Then where does this secret passage lead to?"
Sun Miao bit her lips and said, "That's a good question. The place where this secret passage leads to is the bride's bridal chamber that night!"
"Ah?" Wang Juan couldn't remember that this was the first time he had uttered such an exclamation today, he stuttered a bit. "Then was anyone in the bridal chamber when the incident occurred?"
"Yes!" Sun Miao nodded, "The Princess of Shu and the Second Young Master are both here!"
"Then did they see anything strange?"
"have no idea!"
Wang Yan was completely crazy, "What do you mean by not knowing? Are they drunk and unconscious?"
Sun Miao shook her head: "It's not that I'm drunk and unconscious, but I'm really unconscious!"
"They were killed too!"
"Yes! The princess of Shu has all the meridians in her body. Except for her weak breathing, she is no different from a dead person!"
"What about the second young master?"
Sun Miao's eyes flickered, "Do you remember what I said about this marriage being delayed for some time?"
Wang Yan nodded, "Remember, what's wrong?"
"The reason I'm telling you is that due to an accident when the second son was eighteen years old, he was paralyzed, deaf and blind. He has been lying in bed for twelve years!"
"What!" Wang Yan's mind roared.It exploded. How many facts would Sun Miao have to say today that would make her collapse?
"So now the case is very clear. The emperor died when he was alone with the Marquis, surrounded by Ouchi's guards. The only secret passage that could allow outside murderers to sneak in was locked by Gongshu Miao, and the secret passage On the other end are the second young master who is paralyzed in bed, deaf and blind, and the unconscious princess of Shu. And the prince is unwilling to speak out to defend himself, so the prince can only send the prince to the prison, and"
"And what?"
"And within three days, if no other possibility is found, everyone in the Hou family will be executed, and the prince will also board the Dabao plane on the same day!"
"What!" Wang Juan no longer knew what to say in response. After his mind went blank for a long time, his lips were a little dry and he said: "This is impossible, you must be lying to me, right! You must be because you have a grudge against me. I'm trying to trick you, so I told such a big lie to deceive me! Everyone, Sun, I'm so lucky that I can't stand being frightened! You must stop joking! Look at the faces of all the people on the street. Shangdu was very calm, if such a big thing really happened, how could he look like this!"
"It is precisely because this matter is too involved that the prince made a strategy of cutting off the hemp quickly and blocking the news. In order not to cause chaos in the Daxia court and the country, if the matter really spread out in such an unclear way, . Not to mention anything else, just the troops going to the front line are enough to cause turmoil. The Marquis has countless disciples and former officials in the army, and the eldest son is also serving on the front line, so he will not be released until the dust settles. There's some news! There is only one reason why a three-day period is set to solve the case, and that is that the eldest son who was recalled by a secret order will not be able to arrive in the capital until three days later."
Hiss¡ª¡ª
Wang‡å took a breath of air at this time, this. This is clearly meant to kill them all!
no! I must rescue Zhuge Yan, absolutely!
Wang Yan squeezed his fists until they turned white. The eyes also turned red.
Sun Miao saw Wang Yan's appearance and said, "What's wrong? The trees fall and the hozens scatter. When disaster strikes, they all fly away. Are you planning to leave the third lady and run away?"
"How is that possible! I'm not that kind of person! Aren't there still three days left? I will definitely find the real culprit and clear the grievances of the Marquis!"
"Clear the grievances? How to clean it? The six doors of the capital have been searched for three full days. There are still no clues!"
"I don't care! After I traveled to this world, I have always done impossible things. I have done it before, and I will do it this time too! Just wait!" Wang Yan said to Sun Miaodao, "Everyone Sun, what are you doing? Can you lend me the resources? I need your help. You are the leader of the Nine Nether Secret Agents, and you are also helping the Marquis, right? Huh? Since you are from the Marquis Mansion, how could you do this?"
Wang Yan took two steps back with suspicious eyes.
Sun Miao smiled sweetly and said: "I finally feel something is wrong. Don't you? How can I, a confidant of the Hou Mansion, stay out of the matter and stand here properly?"
"you."
"The answer." Sun Miao said in a general way, and suddenly a voice answered, "I'll tell you the answer!"
Wang Yan followed the sound and was even more surprised this time, because he saw someone, an acquaintance. Li Tai!
"Li Tai? Why are you here?"
At this moment, Li Tan looked ugly, but his clothes and temperament were completely different. If you didn't look at his face, you would just think that he was a noble man from somewhere. There was an entourage behind him. This person With bright eyes and steady steps, he is no ordinary person at first glance.
"Li Tai? Why are you here and know everyone from Sun?"
Li Tai chuckled and said: "Farewell, I didn't expect to see Brother Wang again so soon. It's just that so many things have happened in just half a month that I don't know where to start!" Li Tai Having said this, he paused and said, "Perhaps, Brother Wang can understand it the fastest! My surname is not Li, but Ji!"
Season!
Wang Juan was a little confused at first, but then his mind suddenly hit him again, Ji. Ji Tai? Isn¡¯t this name the current prince?
Li Tai, no, it should be Ji Taikou continued: "Brother Wang, it seems that you also know my identity. The purpose of coming today is to meet you and then hand over this shocking case to you. Here, although we have not been together for a short time, whether it was the flower party in Suzhou, the martial arts conference, or the final trip to Dadu, I have seen your magic. Now this case is related to my country of Daxia The safety is also related to the lives of everyone in the Hou family. I want to leave it to you to investigate, it is really appropriate!"
Wang Juan is still a little hard to accept the fact that a person who was so depressed at the time will become the prince today. This is really too challenging and destroys his imagination.
But only this answer can explain thatThere are so many unreasonable things. Why did this guy have an invitation to a flower party that only cost one hundred thousand taels of silver to buy? Why did this guy have a treasure like the Red Blood Divine Whip? Why did Ji Chan desperately want to find him, even the precious body of a royal goddess? .And during the shocking explosion in the warehouse in Dadu, why did he have the self-defense treasure Golden Star on his body? Such a treasure is simply a fairy treasure. It's easy to explain that Zhuge Yan has it, but why does Li Tai also have it?
There is only one answer to all questions, he is the prince!
That¡¯s right! This is the most incredible, but also the most reasonable explanation!
"In addition to Brother Wang, the Sun family and Li Tong, the divine catcher, will also handle the case with you. Li Tong, the divine catcher, is one of the four great catchers of the six gates, and the iron head Li Tong is him. As for him Brother Wang should be familiar with the Sun family, but she also has another identity, which you didn't know before. She is the father's spy in the Hou Mansion. Haha, it's evil to say this. It's a bit embarrassing for the royal family, but the Hou Mansion is like this Power. It is impossible for the royal family not to impose some supervision and restrictions. I hope Brother Wang can understand!"
When Wang Yan heard this, he completely understood. It turned out that Sun Miao was from the royal family. No wonder!
"Brother Wang, why have you been silent? Do you want to reject my proposal?" When Li Tai said this, he said with a slightly nostalgic tone, "Brother Wang, those days with you are the best I have ever experienced. On the most mysterious day, I know who you are, and I really can¡¯t find a more suitable person to investigate this case than you in this stable, can you help me once?¡±
Wang Yan was about to speak when he heard the words, and the entourage behind Ji Tai came. Li Tong, the hard-nosed iron-head, had already said: "Your Highness, this case is not trivial. Moreover, Wang Ji is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion. How can we leave it to him?"
Ji Tai smiled and said nothing, just waiting for Wang Yan's answer.
"Can I see Zhuge Yan?" Wang Yan lowered his head and asked.
Ji Tai was stunned for a moment and said: "Unfortunately, no! This matter involves too much. So until the case is clear, I can't let you meet. Please forgive me, Brother Wang!"
Wang Yan raised his head and caught Ji Tai's gaze, nodded firmly and said: "Okay, I will take this case! Within three days, I will give you an explanation!"
After breaking up with Ji Tai and others, Wang Juan still had Luo Luo in her heart. However, he also knew that there was not much time, so he could only cheer himself up as soon as possible. He took the case file from Sun Miao and Li Tong, found a secluded place, studied it in detail, and then closed his eyes and thought. stand up.
This case is so weird that it¡¯s almost impossible to get started, but the weirder the case, the more likely it is that there will be a shocking truth. Wang Juan quickly found the first and possibly only breakthrough, which was Gongshu Miao!
That¡¯s right! No one can open Gongshu Miao's lock, but what about himself?
Maybe this is the key to solving the case!
Although judging from the confessions in the case file, Li Tong and others have asked Gong Shumiao several times, but they have not received any useful answers. But Wang Juan decided to go there by himself and ask Gongshu Miao again in person!
The case file states that Gongshu Miao¡¯s home is located at Maiyuqiao, east of the stable. Wang Juan didn't want to waste any time, so he immediately went to the fish-selling bridge!
Arriving at Maiyuqiao, Wang Yan was attracted by the bustle of people not far away. He saw many people gathered outside a courtyard, and there seemed to be some Yamen arresters among them.
Handling a case? Public loss? Wang Juan suddenly thought of a possibility and moved forward a little anxiously.
The policeman guarding the gate saw Wang Juan approaching, and stopped him vigilantly: "Who are you, six doors are handling cases, please leave!"
Wang Juan took out a token from his arms, which was given by Li Tong. When he saw the order, he saw four famous arresters from six doors.
When the policeman saw Wang Juan¡¯s token, he was also startled: ¡°You. Who are you!¡±
"I am the head catcher of Liumen. I have been away for many years, so you may not have seen me, so it's not surprising! This is the family of Gongshu Miao selling fish bridges. I would like to ask Gongshu Miao something."
"Gongshu Miao?" The catcher was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked a nearby civilian who was watching, "How many Gongshu Miao do you have when selling fish bridges?"
The commoner who was asked said: "Of course there is only one like this."
Wang Yan also understood after hearing this, "What do you mean? This is Gongshu Miao's family. Something happened to Gongshu Miao?"
The policeman was hesitant and refused to speak, obviously hesitating whether to inform Wang Yan of the situation inside.
"Brother, can you let us in and take a look?" Wang Juan suddenly spoke.
"This." The detective was hesitating when suddenly a familiar voice came from inside, "Zhang Changgong, I asked you to guard the door outside. Why are you making so much noise?"
Seeing this, Wang Juan said loudly: "Captain Li. I am Wang Juan, can I come in and talk to you?"
It was quiet inside for a whileA moment later, Li Tong appeared at the door and saw Wang Juan. Although he didn't know what he was doing, he still waved them in.
As soon as you enter the courtyard gate, there is no smell of blood, but a refreshing fragrance. While Wang Juan was wondering, Li Tong said: "This is Gong Shumiao's sister cooking chicken. He wants to say goodbye to his brother."
Sure enough, there was a room that looked like a kitchen in the yard. White smoke came out, and then a figure ran out. Li Tong whispered that this person was Gong Shumiao's sister. Although this woman was dressed in civilian clothes, her appearance was beautiful. Very.
Wang Yan took another look at him. It wasn't until Li Tong coughed that he said: "Captain Li. I came here just to ask Gong Shumiao a few words. Now that he is dead, I want to see the scene. Is that okay?"
Li Tong had long been dissatisfied with the prince for handing over the case to Wang Juan for investigation, but his dissatisfaction could not compare with the prince or even the emperor's will in the future, so he pondered for a moment. Although he looked a little hesitant, he still nodded, but added a reminder, "Remember not to touch anything in this yard, or you may damage the scene. This case is very important, you know?"
Wang Yan nodded in agreement, and Li Tong led the way. Wang Juan followed behind him. Wang Juan walked into the room where Li Tong had just entered, opened the door curtain, and a strong smell of blood hit his nostrils, making people feel nauseous. I don't know why, but I am already very familiar with these bloody scenes. So there is no extreme reaction.
Li Tong brought Wang Juan into the room, his face always hesitant, but at this moment, Yi Zuo beside him was about to report on the autopsy, so he held back and did not speak.
He handed the corpse to Li Yan while pointing at the corpse to explain. "After careful inspection, the deceased Gong Shumiao was indeed stabbed in the chest and died. Because the murder weapon penetrated the heart, a large amount of blood flowed out. There were no other wounds on the body. The wound was one inch wide and two and a half inches deep, and there was no penetration. The body should be a small sharp weapon such as a dagger."
Seeing Li Tong nod, Zuo Zuo pointed to the room and said: "This should be the first scene. A lot of blood was splattered on the sheets and the wall. This was the massive bleeding after being stabbed in the heart and pulling out the knife. . And the back of the corpse's neck, back, behind both ribs, waist, inside of legs, on both arms, and behind both legs are all slightly red. This is because the corpse was parked on its back and the blood veins fell. It proves that after the corpse was killed, He had been lying on his back and had not been moved. In addition, judging from the degree of rigor mortis, the time of death should have been around midnight last night."
Li Tong listened and watched. After Zuo Zuo finished explaining, he read the corpse carefully, then inspected the body himself, lifting the quilt and clothes covering the body. Sure enough, he could see the corpse as Yi Zuo described. spot. There were also large blood stains on the wall, bed and body of the deceased.
"It looks like it's another unsolved case." Li Tong shook his head, closed his eyes, and pinched his sore eyebrows. It was obvious that he couldn't find a clue and was a little upset. I am already so anxious, it is unreasonable that this lowly person from a foreign country would come to cause trouble.
Li Tong opened his eyes, intending to teach Wang Yan a few words to vent his frustration. But the next moment, he was stunned. He saw Wang Juan squatting next to the body, looking at something carefully. Because Wang Juan came in with Li Tong, although he was not wearing official clothes, he thought he was a policeman in casual clothes, so Let him check, and still answer Wang Juan's questions.
"Wang ‡å!" Li Tong finally came to his senses and shouted angrily: "What are you doing! Can you move this body? Stop it!"
Yi Zuo was a little surprised by Li Tong's reaction and a little at a loss. Wang Juan stood up calmly and said calmly: "Captain Li, I have some opinions on this case. Do you want to hear it?"
"You?" Li Tong was angry and funny when he heard this. A country boy who had gotten so lucky actually said that he wanted to talk to him about his ideas. It was really the most ridiculous thing in the world!
Li Tong sneered a few times, became a little angry, and said in a weird voice: "Do you have anything to teach me, Butler Wang? I, Li Tong, am all ears!"
"Well." Wang Yan had a strange expression on his face, "Before we discuss the case, can I go change my clothes?"
"Changing clothes?" Li Tong had already prepared a lot of sarcastic remarks, but when he suddenly heard Wang Juan's 180-degree change of topic, he was still a little confused and waved his hands stiffly.
Wang Juan did not say a word, but ran directly to the place where the grains were reincarnated.
The place where grains are reincarnated is naturally a very interesting place. Wang Juan took out the fairy mirror and couldn't help but hesitate a little. Would it be blasphemous to use this fairy treasure in this place? But thinking about the weirdness on Gongshu Miao's corpse , Wang Juan still had to bite the bullet and use the breath taken from Gongshu Miao's sister Gongshu Qi to inspire the fairy mirror
Wang Juan, who came out of the toilet, naturally went straight to the scene. Li Tong, who was already a little impatient with waiting, saw Wang Juan coming in and said in an extremely impatient tone: "My Butler Wang is back after changing his clothes!"
Wang Juan ignored Li Tong¡¯s tone and apologized.After a few words, he quickly got to the point. Wang Juan pointed at the waist of the corpse and said calmly: "Captain Li, don't you think there is something wrong here?"
Li Tong didn¡¯t say anything after hearing this. He just looked at Wang Juan with a sneer, wanting to see this ignorant boy. What kind of joke is going to happen.
"As Liu Zuo said, after a person dies, due to the sinking blood, lavender corpse spots will form. Judging from the corpse spots on Gong Shumiao's body, the corpse has been lying on his back." Wang Yan said here and pointed again. Biaozuo, "Just now Biaozuo said that Gongshu Miao was probably killed at midnight last night. Judging from the clothes on the deceased's body, he should have been stabbed in the heart with a sharp instrument while he was sleeping, causing massive bleeding and fatal injuries. But as a result, a knife on the deceased's waist There are white marks in the circle, so it doesn¡¯t make sense.¡±
"Oh?" Li Tong seemed to be quite sure when he saw Wang Juan talking. Moreover, there was indeed a circle of thin white marks around the body's waist. He couldn't help but put away his sneer, but still said coldly, "What's wrong with this circle of white marks?"
Wang Juan did not answer Li Tong directly, but said to Yi Zuo, "Excuse me, this old man, is it possible that there are no spots on the body where the spots should be?"
"This." Yi Zuo pondered for a moment. Then he turned to look at Li Tong, saw him nodding, and then said, "You really asked the right person. The third uncle of Nanpai is probably the only one in the capital. I know the question you asked. I remember I was in Guangxi three years ago. I saw this situation when I was on duty. The corpse was also lying on its back. Logically speaking, the back should be covered with corpse spots, but in addition to the red color, there was also a two-inch square patch on the back of the corpse. The skin showed a pale color. I was a little puzzled at the time. Later, after much thinking, I found out that it was because there was a hard object squeezing it. This meant that there should be a two-inch square thing pressed behind the body. . It was based on this clue that I finally found the murderer."
Wang Juan heard this and said to Li Tong: "The circle of white marks on the waist of the deceased is probably for this reason. Instead of forming a corpse spot, it appears pale in color. Li Captou, isn't this too strange?"
"What's so strange about this? Maybe it's because he's wearing a belt." Li Tong was about to sneer, but suddenly fell silent, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face, "You mean."
"That's right." Wang Yan nodded, "If the deceased was killed in his sleep, judging from the clothes the deceased was wearing, his pants were very loose. I asked Yi Zuo just now, and he said he didn't find anything on the bed. Belt. What does that mean?¡±
Li Tong slapped his head, "This means that the deceased was wearing a belt when he was killed, and he kept it on for a long time, so there were no body spots on the waist. Someone took it away before the body was discovered. The belt worn by the deceased?¡±
Wang Yan nodded, "It is possible, but it is also possible that the deceased was not wearing these clothes at all when he was killed. In other words, the deceased was not wearing underwear when he was killed, but was wearing ordinary clothes. Until the death of the deceased It took a long time before I was put into my current clothes."
Li Tong thought about Wang Juan's words for a while, feeling a little confused, "What do you mean? Can you make it clearer?"
Wang Yan spread his hands, "This requires Capt. Li to tell Xiaomin more details about the case."
"This?" Li Tong showed hesitation on his face, but he thought that Wang Juan was investigating a shocking case, and Gong Shumiao was a key part of the case. If he could solve the murder case of Gong Shumiao, maybe You can follow the clues and find out the truth about the case of killing the emperor! This way.
While Li Qi was hesitating, Wang Yan already said: "The key to the secret room where the late emperor was murdered was made by Gong Shumiao, the most skilled craftsman. Gongshu Miao was found to have been murdered and died at home. The timing of this case is so sensitive. , it¡¯s hard for people to believe that this is just a coincidence. For the sake of Mr. Hou¡¯s innocence and the country of Daxia, I also asked Capt. Li to inform me of the case.¡±
Li Tong nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to know anything, just ask me."
Wang Yan synthesized the existing information and said: "So last night, did any neighbors and passers-by notice whether anyone came in or out of Gongshu Miao's house?"
Li Tong shook his head, "After asking the neighbors, no one noticed anyone coming or going. The last person who saw Gongshu Miao directly was Wang Erxiao, who was selling sesame cakes next door. He said that he was coming back from selling sesame cakes in the afternoon and happened to see Gongshu Miao. He wanted to open the door and enter the house. The two exchanged a few words. According to Wang Erxiao, Gongshu Miao looked a little flustered at that time, as if he was scared. Later, Mrs. Zhang from the yard opposite said that she saw lights in Gongshu Miao's yard at night. , and then I don¡¯t know when, the lights went out.¡±
When Wang Yan heard this, he looked at the oil lamp on the table and said, "The light you saw must be this oil lamp. The oil inside has burned out. It seems that Gongshu Miao didn't sleep until the oil lamp burned out. Of course, it is also possible that Gongshu Miao was killed. Finally, no one put out the oil lamp. So the oil burned out."
Li Tong also agreed, "Your analysis is good. Both situations are indeed possible."
"Who discovered the body?"
"It's his sister, the father-in-law??Strange. Only the two of them lived in this courtyard. Li Tong flipped through the transcript of the case, "Gongshu Qi said that when he came back from breakfast today, he found Gongshu Miao dead in the room." At that time, he saw that at noon, his brother's door was still closed, so he went to knock on the door. Who knew the door was ajar. When he came in, he found Gongshu Miao lying in a pool of blood. "
"Gongshu Qi?" Wang Yan was slightly stunned.
"Yes, he said that he left the city yesterday afternoon to do something for his uncle. He didn't go home until this morning after opening the city gate. Before he could enter the house, a police officer came to inform him to go to court. So he didn't find out until noon. Gongshu Miao was killed."
Wang Yan pondered for a moment. Asked: "Can you ask Gongshu Qi to come in and ask him a few words?"
Li Tong nodded and called for Gong Shuqi. After a while, Gongshu Qi came into the room and was a little surprised to see Wang Juan in the room.
Li Tong gave Wang Juan a look, indicating that he could ask questions at will.
Wang Juan said warmly: "Gongshu Qi. Can you tell me again how you found the deceased?"
Gongshu Qi was visibly relieved when he saw that Wang Juan was not entangled in Tang Yi's case. Then, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, he recalled: "Yesterday, my brother ordered me to go out of the city to several villages to deliver some ready-made locks. I was a big boy I left the city early and waited until I handed the locks to the guests one by one. It was getting late. I missed the time to enter the city gate, so I had to stay overnight with a friend in Caijia Village in the west of the city. When I rushed home at dawn today, I found that The room was quiet. At this time, the police officer from the Yamen came to interrogate me, so I followed him. It was already noon when I got home. My brother always got up early, so I was a little worried, so I went to take pictures of his room. I opened the door and found that it was open. When I pushed the door and went in, I found that he had been killed on the bed. When I saw that he had been killed, I was so scared that I waited until my feet stopped shaking and quickly went to the Yamen to report to the official. "
Wang Juan asked: "Are you sure the door is open?"
Gong Shuqi nodded in affirmation.
"Then you haven't touched anything in the room?"
Gong Shuqi still nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing that Wang Juan seemed to be unable to get any results, Li Tong suspected that Wang Juan was just a flash in the pan, so his attitude changed again, "Is it strange that the door is open? According to our analysis, killing Gongshu Miao and Gongshu Miaoda is related, and the two must know each other. While his sister was away, he came to Gongshu Miao overnight, and Gongshu Miao would naturally open the door. Why bother asking such a simple question again and again. "
Wang Juan still wanted to ask a question, but Li Tong spoke first, "Gongshu Qi, I haven't asked you directly yet, please tell me. Have you noticed anything unusual about your brother in the past few days, or have you noticed anything unusual in recent days? Has anyone suspicious come to see your brother?"
"This -" Gong Shuqi scratched his head and hesitated before saying: "Originally, my brother didn't let me tell you this, but now that everyone else is dead, it doesn't matter. My brother is indeed a little weird these days. Especially after the officials came to ask questions last time, he seemed to be afraid of something, but when I asked him, he didn't tell me and just asked me to pretend not to see him. Speaking of suspicious people, I didn't pay attention. In fact, even if there are any important guests, my brother will meet them alone in the house and will not let me wait on them. Therefore, I don¡¯t know much about my brother¡¯s affairs. "
Li Tong was a little frustrated when he heard that Gong Shuqi could not provide any clues. He was about to wave his hand to signal Gong Shuqi to go out when Wang Juan suddenly spoke, "Well - you sent the lock to the gate that could not enter the city. You are very careful in your work. By the way, you said you were staying at a friend's house, but you don't know who that friend is?"
Gong Shuqi was stunned for a moment when he heard Wang Juan's question, "Well, I'm staying at Cai Sanyuan's house in Caijia Village. Because Mrs. Cai Sanyuan is a close friend of mine, Yue Yue and I didn't fall asleep until late at night."
Wang Juan nodded and asked, "So, how did you, Cai Sanyuan and his wife sleep together?"
As soon as Wang Yan said this, a strange smile appeared on Li Tong's face, and Gong Shuqi also hesitated and felt very embarrassed. Wang Juan thought about his question for a moment, then realized that there was some ambiguity in it, and quickly corrected it, "I mean, how did you three arrange the rooms where you sleep? Did you and Mrs. Cai Sanyuan sleep in the same place?"
Gongshu Qi then reacted and said quickly: "How can a farmhouse have so many rooms? Cai Sanyuan and his wife sleep in the bedroom, and I made do with a bunk on the floor in the lobby. If there are more quilts, it won't be too cold at night."
"So that's it." Wang Yan nodded and turned around to ask Li Tong, "Sir, as long as the city gate is closed, is there no other way to enter or leave Changxing County?"
Li Tong was a little impatient when he heard this, and said to Wang Yan, "That's natural. Otherwise, what's the use of the city gate."
At this time, Gongshu Qi seemed to hear some of the meaning of Wang Yan's words, and said seductively: "Xu Captou, you don't suspect that the young one killed his brother, do you? Don't say that the villain can't do this. It's against the law." Even if it is a small thing to do, it is impossible. The official also said that my brother was at home when I was a child.He was killed in Caijia Village at that time, and the city gate of Changxing County had long been closed. How did I get into the city? It¡¯s very chilling for an adult to be so suspicious of a young person. "
Li Tong obviously had reached the limit of his patience with Wang Juan, and said seductively: "Gong Shuqi is indeed not suspected, because he has a very solid alibi. Even if he sneaked back while Cai Sanyuan was asleep, he wouldn't have the Qinggong skills of a top master. .Can¡¯t enter the city gate?¡±
Gongshu Qi also called Qu to agree, "I pushed the cart out of the city gate at noon yesterday and didn't come back until this morning. The guards at the city gate can vouch for me."
"Cart, why do you need to push the cart to send a few locks?" Wang Yan was a little strange.
Gong Shuqi was already hostile to Wang Juan, but he still gave an explanation. "Some locks are installed directly on the boxes, and there are several large boxes among the locks delivered. So I pushed the trolley."
Wang Yan blinked, "Is the cart empty when you come back?"
"No, I saw someone selling firewood outside the city, so I bought two loads of firewood, put it on a cart and pushed it back."
"That's it." Wang Yan nodded, laughed again, and apologized to Gong Shuqi, "Don't blame me. You will doubt me when you see the relevant people. It's not aimed at you. Please forgive me."
Gongshu Qi glanced at Wang Yan, as if he was really talented.
Seeing that Wang Juan couldn¡¯t figure out why, Li Tong suggested leaving this bloody house.
After coming out of the house, Wang Juan pointed to a load of firewood in the yard and asked, "Are these two loads of firewood you bought this morning?"
Gongshu Qi nodded, "This is one of the loads. The other one is in the kitchen. I need to cook chicken, so I used it." After a pause, Gongshu Qi said again: "My brother has no other relatives. On weekdays, He also treated me well. The younger one wanted to prepare some pig heads and whole chickens to perform a ritual ceremony for my brother in the evening. Mr. Chai stopped him from going out and couldn't buy pig heads. There were two old hens at home, so he slaughtered them and burned them. ¡±
Li Tong was about to send this little girl away when she saw Wang Juan asking more and more questions.
Wang Juan had no intention of leaving. He turned to Gongshu Qi and said, "Gongshu Qi, your chicken is so fragrant, why don't you give me a chicken leg to satisfy my hunger. What do you think?"
Gongshu Qi suddenly heard such a request and was stunned on the spot. The head catcher in the courtyard had a bad look on his face. He didn't know whether it was because he felt shameful for having such a scum of his peers, or because Wang Juan wanted to rob them of what they had been coveting for a long time. Chicken Legs felt angry.
Although Wang Juan spoke softly, it did not escape Li Tong's ears. He wanted to get angry, but when his heart moved, he still refrained from speaking and just watched the development of the matter coldly.
Wang Jie laughed and said, "Miss Gongshu didn't say anything. I think she agreed and ate someone else's food. How can I have the nerve to let the girl do it? I'll just go by myself."
Li Tong had no other expression on his face at this time. After a slight hesitation, he followed into the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, Gongshu Qi opened the pot, and sure enough, what was cooked in it were delicious and fragrant chicken legs. Wang Yan went over and tore the chicken drumsticks apart, smelled the alluring aroma, and was about to eat it, but when he came to his mouth, his hand holding the drumstick suddenly took it back, and shook his head with a look of pity on his face. ¡°It¡¯s such a pity that we can¡¯t eat such delicious food.¡±
Gong Shuqi looked at Wang Yan calmly without any reaction. Gongshu Qi said angrily: "Does this gentleman think that the chicken legs are poisonous?"
Wang Yan shook his head, "It's not necessarily poisonous, but if you eat this chicken leg, you won't be able to escape the charge of destroying important evidence. Miss Gongshu, don't you think so?"
Looking at Wang Ji¡¯s harmless smile, Gong Shuqi didn¡¯t know how to answer. He looked at Li Tong pitifully, hoping that he would seek justice. Li Tong ignored Gong Shuqi. He nodded to Wang Yan, "If it is destroying physical evidence, it is naturally a serious crime. But why are these chicken legs the physical evidence in this case?"
"Ahem." Wang Yan coughed, waved the chicken legs in his hands, and asked the key question, "These two chickens were just killed today, why didn't you see the chicken blood?"
Hearing this, Gongshu Qi's calm face finally became agitated, but after looking at Wang Yan for a moment, he calmly answered. "Chicken blood. I drank the chicken blood."
"A girl who drinks chicken blood is indeed a strange person." Wang Yan chuckled and glanced at Li Tong. Li Tong seemed to have some realization, but still did not speak.
"Youwhat do you mean? Although I, Gongshuqi, am just a common man, under the circumstances, in front of Capt. Li, you should not be too unscrupulous." Gongshuqi naturally sensed the meaning in Wang Yan's words. Something to say. The tone became stiff, almost growling.
"What are you yelling about!" Li Yu scolded Gong Shuqi, then turned to Wang Juan and said, "Wang Juan, if you find anything, you can tell it directly, but you must say it with substance. Reasonable and well-founded."
"Yes, sir." Wang Yan's face straightened, and he regained his usual calm expression, and said calmly: "The murderer who killed Gong Shu Miao was none other than you. Gong Shu Qi!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Li Tong also said at this moment: "What did you say? How could Gongshu Qi be the murderer? He was not in the city at all last night. How could he kill Gongshu Miao?" Although Li Tong also estimated that Gongshu Miaoqi might be involved in this case. What role did he play, but he never expected Wang Juan to say that Gong Shuqi was the murderer. This was obviously impossible, so Li Tong also questioned Wang Juan's inference.
When Gongshu Qi heard this, he nodded in agreement, "You also said that my brother was killed at home at midnight last night. I was in Caijia Village outside the city at that time. How could I be the murderer? Do I know how to fly?"
Wang Yan said leisurely: "It's true that your brother was killed at midnight last night, but it's hard to say whether the place of murder was at home. Haha."
Li Tong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and considered the possibilities of Wang Juan's hypothesis, but none of them seemed to make sense, so he asked: "You said the deceased was not killed at home, then where was the deceased killed?"
"Well -" Wang Yan glanced at Gongshu Qi and continued to explain unhurriedly, "Wherever Gongshu Qi was when he was young, that's where the deceased was first killed."
Li Tong waved his hand, with a look of disbelief on his face, "When I was young, Gongshu Miao and Gongshu Qi, one was inside the city and the other was outside the city. Then you think Gongshu Qi climbed over the eaves and walls and killed Gongshu Miao when he got to the city? , or did Gongshu Miaoshen disappear outside the city and be presented to Gongshu Qi to be killed?"
Wang Yan shook his head, "Neither of the two. The city wall of the capital is almost ten feet high, and the city gate of Zishi is closed. With Gongshu Miao and Gongshu Miao, no one can fly ten feet high to block it."
"It's not this, it's not that." Li Tong finally sneered, "Then what is the truth you call?"
"The truth?" Wang Juan suddenly snapped his fingers, "Of course you can't get through the closed city gate, but what about the open city gate?"
Li Tong was startled by Wang Juan's actions and words. He was about to say something, but he didn't speak. He seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right." Wang Juan confirmed what Li Tong was thinking, "The witness who lives next door, the old Li Tou who sells Dali Pills, was the last person to see Gong Shumiao in the city, but it was still afternoon, although It is not far from the time to close the city gate, but the city gate has not been closed yet. As for the sister-in-law who said she saw lights in Gongshu Miao's house at night, it does not mean that Gongshu Miao is still at home. It is very likely that Gongshu Miao is about to close. At the city gate, he was about to come out of his home and prepare to leave the city, but he happened to see Daliwan Lao Li coming home, so Gongshu Miao had to pretend to go home and open the door instead of locking the door when he left home as Lao Li said."
"After Lao Li passed by, Gongshu Miao came out of the house. As for the lights, it is easy to explain. Gongshu Miao had already turned on the lights when he went out. However, it was still bright at that time, so naturally the weak lights in the house could not be seen. After it got dark, my sister-in-law saw the light in Gongshu Miaowu. We found that the oil in the oil lamp in Gongshu Miaowu had burned out, which is also consistent with my reasoning. "
Li Tong quickly turned over the case file in his hand, "What you said seems to be correct, but the person who saw Gong Shumiao in the end was not Lao Li who sold Dali Pills, but Wang Erxiao who sold sesame cakes!"
Wang Juan actually had forgotten the identity of the witness a long time ago. He was just making nonsense. When Li Tong exposed the trick, he felt embarrassed.
Li Tong had just digested this reasoning, but then he raised a new question, "Even so, how did Gongshu Miao return to the city?"
"Master Li, have you forgotten Gongshu Qitui's cart?" Wang Yan did not answer the question directly, but asked a question.
Li Tong finally realized at this time, "Gongshu Qi hid the body under two loads of firewood, and then pushed the cart into the city in a big way this morning." But when he said this, Li Tong shook his head again, "Wait a minute, but that's not right. Ah, judging from the large amount of blood splattered at the scene, it means that the crime scene should be at home. If the deceased was killed elsewhere and the body was moved here, the blood would have been almost gone already, how could there still be so much blood."
Wang Yan raised the chicken drumstick in his hand again, smiled mysteriously, and said: "That's why I can't eat this delicious chicken drumstick." - Didn't finish reading?
