Chapter 273: Another One
After reporting home, naturally we still have to talk about the case, and after roughly guessing the origin of Commander Bai, Zhao Zhukuai revealed a lot of details to her.
After understanding the clues he currently has, Commander Bai asked, "In your opinion, in which direction should this matter be investigated?"
Zhao Zhu thought for a while and said: "First of all, the handprint on the door, it is estimated that the mold has been made at this time."
After that, he waited for Doctor Simon to restore the hands and feet of the corpse.
If it is found that the body has not been poisoned or mortally wounded, it is impossible for a living person to endure this pain without making a sound.
This seems to be a big mystery, but it is also the most obvious breakthrough, after all, this kind of thing is too distinctive, once this mystery is solved, then it may be possible to find the murderer directly.
The third is the cellar under our feet, a cellar that is dug so deep is itself problematic, and then there is such a big movement, even if a fool teases to see the problem.
That's all for now, do you have anything to add?"
What else could the two adults add, they walked around the courtyard, and then pretended to look at the sunken cellar, and then offered to go to the yamen to see the corpse.
Zhao Zhukuai naturally didn't have a word about this, and immediately led the way for the two white adults.
Such a big thing happened, and Yuan County Ling didn't have the heart to deal with other trivial matters, Ximen Yuan has been with him since he came, and the dignified county order directly started to attack him.
Zhao Zhu saw that there was no one in the lobby, so he went straight to the room where the body was stored.
There were only two people in the room, Yuan Xianling and Ximen Yuan, and when they saw Zhao Zhukuai leading the two women in, although they were surprised in their hearts, they didn't have any expression on their faces.
They didn't ask, they couldn't help but say, the introduction must be followed by the introduction of the adult, not because of the important finale, but because the adult must know the identity of these two people first.
"Two adults, this is Lord Ximen, and this is Lord Yuan County. ”
Two, these two are the chief and deputy commanders of the Blue Brick Army, and their surnames are white. ”
Zhao Zhukuai only cared about the introduction, and didn't notice Yuan Xianling's expression when he saw these two people.
Zhao Zhukuai didn't know the two Bai adults, but Yuan Xianling couldn't help but know them, although it was just a glimpse, and he didn't dare to look up at it, but he had just seen these two adults last night, so he naturally knew who they were.
Recognize it is recognized, although the gift of the monarch and the minister cannot be paid, but since the lord of the country is dressed like this, and he also says that he is the commander of the blue brick army, it means that the lord of the country does not want to expose his identity, so in this special period, if he exposes the identity of the lord of the country, this hand of sycophancy, is not slapped on the horse's hooves.
After getting to know each other, Commander Bai began to inquire about the condition of the corpse.
The previous inspection has been very detailed, but it must still be worse than Ximenyuan.
Ximen Yuan did find something special on the corpse.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come and see this. As he spoke, Ximen Yuan led a few people to the top of the corpse's head.
I hadn't noticed that the top of the corpse's head was slightly different from that of ordinary people, because there was a small bone on the top of his head that was not white but turquoise, and it looked like jade.
Commander Bai opened his mouth and asked, "What is this?"
Ximen Yuan said: "I don't know, I only know that this jade bone is much harder than other bones, and at the same time it is transparent inside and outside, please take a look." ”
Ximen Yuan had already removed his head from his back, and at this moment he picked up the skull, and his chin rushed up, allowing several people to look inward from below, and sure enough, the inside was the same jade bone as the outside.
Zhao Zhukuai said: "Could this be that this person opened a hole in the top of his head before and then filled it with jade?"
Ximen Yuan shook his head: "Although I can do this method, but if I use jade to make up for it, then this person will die in a few days, and this is not jade."
If you look closely, you will find that there is no gap between the jade bone and the ordinary bone at all, as if it grew like this naturally. ”
At this time, Commander Bai said: "This, I'm afraid it's an immortal. ”
The rest of the people all looked up at her, waiting for her next words, but what kind of identity Commander Bai was, it was enough for them to know, and they had never had the habit of explaining to others in their bones.
Seeing that this white commander spit out a sentence and then stopped talking, Zhao Zhukuai couldn't help but ask, "I don't know why the adults said this?"
Although Yuan Xianling also wanted to know why the lord said this, but as a courtier, could he say this? But Zhao Zhukuai didn't see the look in his eyes, so he still asked.
Fortunately, after Commander Bai was stunned for a moment, he still replied: "I once saw it in an ancient book, and the book said: The first born jade, the immortal is hopeful; To the waist jade, immortal can be expected; The body is full of jade, and the immortal fades one.
This person has a jade on his head, and he is afraid that he is an immortal who has just touched the path of cultivating immortals. ”
It's troublesome, if the deputy master of the concept of impermanence is okay to say, but this person turns out to be an immortal, this is a big deal.
Commander Bai didn't have the calmness he had before, a room full of people exploded, and an immortal died so cruelly, right next to him.
Let's not mention the background of this immortal for the time being, but a murderer who can kill an immortal is enough for his own headache, even an immortal can kill him, so how can everyone present stop him.
What else is going to be investigated in this case, even if someone finds it, they can't catch him.
Commander Bai also saw the key at once, and knew that everyone was scrupling, so he said: "Continue to investigate, judging from the current clues, I won't be able to find out the reason for a while, but once the strength behind this immortal comes to Xingshi to ask for the guilt, we won't be unable to get anything, as for the security issue, I'll figure it out, after all, the immortal is not invincible." ”
The official is big, and he can only check it head-on.
After reading the case, the two commanders left, originally to follow up on the case here, but the lord of the country had to find a way to hire a few bodyguards.
After the two adults left, Zhao Zhu quickly came to Yuan Xianling's side and whispered: "You gave me a look just now, did you also see that these two commanders were wrong? I also felt that something was wrong at first, and I didn't dare to shake them down. ”
The corners of Yuan Xianling's mouth twitched, and he quickly asked, "You didn't do anything out of the ordinary, did you?"
Zhao Zhukuai said casually: "No." ”
Yuan Xian Ling relieved his heart at this time, and whispered in Zhao Zhukuai's ear: "The one who led the way just now is the lord of the country." ”
Zhao Zhuai looked at Yuan Xianling and laughed: "You are joking." After saying that, his legs went limp.
It's over, I actually told the lord of the country that the prefect is free, it's over, it's over, it's over.
Yuan Xianling knew from his expression that he must not have said it, and quickly asked, "What did you say?"
Zhao Zhu said quickly: "I didn't say what I should say, and I said a little bit what I shouldn't say." ”
Yuan County ordered: "A little? ”
Zhao Zhukuai said: "I mean that I am the prefect of the mansion casually." ”
Yuan Xianling nodded: "Well, that's the truth. ”
Yuan Xianling, who reacted, raised a few more tones: "Hmm? You told the lord of the country about this? You are looking for death, what does the lord of the country say?"
Zhao Zhukuai said: "The lord of the country said that this is a joke. ”
Yuan Xianling dragged Zhao Yukuai's arm hard, and said solemnly: "Brother, don't say that I won't help you, in the future, the country will mainly punish you for your crimes, you just take this sentence out and talk about it, after all, the lord of the country Chrysostom said that it was a joke, it was a joke, remember no." ”
Zhao Yu nodded heavily: "Don't worry, brother." ”
Yuan Xian Ling sighed again, threw down a sentence to ask for more blessings, and turned around to give Ximen Yuan a big attack.
After such an incident, Zhao Zhukuai's mood was extremely heavy, and now his mind is full of how many crimes and meritorious deeds.
The best way to make meritorious contributions is to make a progressive breakthrough in this neck, and the only thing I can do at the moment is the ice under the window.
I was afraid that the ice was poisonous before, but now I can't control it so much, so while the divine doctor is around, it is worth betting.
After informing him, Zhao Yu quickly left the yamen and went straight to the house, and the officials who had gone out to eat before also came back at this time, and now they are digging the hard ground with a pickaxe.
Seeing Zhao Hunt coming in, they all stopped their work and greeted Zhao Hunt, Zhao Hunt quickly had the heart to deal with them at this time, coped with two sentences, approached the house, jumped straight on the earthen kang, copied the Xiaoice block in his hand, looked at the ice cube, and found that it was just an ice chip in his hand.
Instead of trying it in the house, he walked to the door, so that even if there was a problem with the ice chips, the officials outside would be the first to find out about their situation.
Looking at the cold and piercing Xiaoice block in his hand, Fan Yu only felt that his fingers were numb, and he couldn't care much about it now.
As soon as his eyes were closed, he threw the Xiaoice ice chip into his mouth, don't look at the ice chip is only the size of a fingernail, but it is not easy to glory, and Zhao Hunt's tongue was instantly numbed by the ice.
But it's not completely ineffective, Zhao Zhukuai still tasted what this ice chip was originally, but like the clues before this case, the more he knew, the more confused he became.
The pungency of this piece of ice is clearly an extremely inferior shochu.
It's just that the wine mixed with water, even if it is buried in ice, will not be cold at all, and if you want to make the wine freeze, the temperature required is scary, and it is impossible to have such a low temperature here, so this clue is just another mystery.
Of course, if we don't mention the yard where the wine freezes for now, it would be much easier to just look at the source of the wine.
First of all, this wine is definitely not the deceased, because the deceased is an immortal, and he will not drink this inferior wine on the one hand, and on the other hand, the deceased has no reason to hide here, and if the deceased is the one who hides in the room and peeps out, then he will probably not die.
Secondly, this wine is the possibility left by the murderer, there is, but not much, because in the same way, the murderer can even find someone to kill, then it means that this person's strength is extremely high, such a master will not lack good wine, unless this person has a strange temper.
And the last may be what Zhao Zhukuai hopes the most, that is, there is another person here that night, he entered this room drunk and saw the whole process of the matter, and then sneaked away in fright.
In this way, perhaps the handprints on the gate were left by the "drunkards" in this hypothesis.
It will probably take a day or two on Ximenyuan's side, and in the next two days, he may be able to put up a notice to deceive this person.
Just do it, spit out the ice chips that had not yet melted in your mouth, wrapped them in a cloth, put them in your arms, and hurried back to the yamen to discuss this matter with Yuan Xianling.
When Yuan Xianling heard this, he first complained that he didn't say anything important, and then immediately posted a notice.
The notice is also very clear, roughly saying that the empty house murder case is known, we found that the dead man was in the house on the night a drunk witnessed the whole process of the crime, and at the same time the drunkard's handprint is also on the door.
Now the yamen needs him to come and tell him what happened that night, if he comes over, it will be considered meritorious, and the yamen will reward him with five taels of silver.
If you don't show up now, and wait for the official to find out this drunkard with the handprint, then you will be considered an accomplice, not only will you have no money, but you will have to be punished, and all the things you saw that night will be tried.
