Chapter 77: The Night Is Hard
Lawson sent Xia Yuxue all the way to the door, and he was a little forced in his heart, and he didn't have the cheekiness to enter the door.
The two waved goodbye, and when they turned around, the corners of Rosen's mouth were almost reaching the root of his ears.
I made a lot of money tonight!
Thank God, thank you, thank you Zao Wushuang, although I don't know what this guy was delayed from returning to the city, anyway, he indirectly assisted Rosen.
Lawson walked back slowly humming a little tune, his eyebrows full of triumph.
If he and Xia Yuxue were not even friends before, then now the relationship between the two has made a breakthrough.
And Lawson also has a reason to contact people, Zhengda and bright.
Chen Qiqi.
Just wait for him to return to Earth, write down Chen Qiqi's appearance and draw it, and then go to Sister Chun to ask him about the birthday of this cheap sister, and Rosen can be regarded as officially hooking up with Xia Yuxue.
Rosen provided information here, Xia Yuxue went to find someone to help, and he had to tell Rosen the result, right?
Afterwards, no matter whether Rosen found Chen Qiqi or not, he had to thank Xia Yuxue for his favor, right?
This is called coming and going.
Once raw and twice cooked.
At this time, Luo Sen was really complacent, what bottlenecks in his cultivation, Lu Xuan's threat, and even Tang Wan'er, who had not seen him for many days, were all left behind by him.
Lao Cai had a saying before, life must be happy, isn't that what happened?
Changshun Street is located in the east of Xuzhou Mansion, not far from Shuangqiao Street, where Lawson lives.
It seems that this guy didn't leave at all, and has been waiting for Lawson to come back at the intersection.
"My lord, how are things going?"
Wu Xiang looked like a gossip, and the corners of his mouth showed a chuckle that all men understand.
Seeing this, Rosen was not angry at all, but walked forward happily, patted Wu Xiang's shoulder and said, "Woman, isn't that what happened, you did a good job today......
As he spoke, Luo Sen stretched out his hand and took out five taels of silver from his arms, generously stuffed them into Wu Xiang's hand, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for brothers to patrol the night, take it to eat some supper to fill your stomach." ”
Wu Xiang didn't shirk, and said to a few people around him: "Why don't you hurry up and thank you?"
Everyone bowed down and said, "Thank you!"
Rosen laughed, knowing that because of his own relationship, Wu Xiang's status in the garrison army could be said to have improved rapidly in the past few days, and now it seems that he has become like a guard.
Rosen doesn't think it's a bad thing.
Although it is taboo to form a party in the army, who doesn't have a few cronies?
Like Wu Xiang, as soon as he entered the camp, he followed himself, and his loyalty was naturally the highest, and this kid had the eyesight, knew how to do things, and was very popular, so he was indeed a good deputy.
There will be a lot of training in the future.
Thinking of this, Rosen raised his hand again and patted Wu Xiang's shoulder, intending to say goodbye to everyone.
However, at this moment, a terrible scream broke the calm of the night, leaving Lawson's eyes dark.
Wu Xiang reacted the fastest, and said directly: "My lord, it seems to be in the east!"
Rosen hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
After receiving the order, several garrison soldiers led by Wu Xiang rushed to the east of the city.
The screams continued, sounding like a woman, but when Wu Xiang followed the sound to the door of a large mansion, he suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Rosen didn't know.
Wu Xiang looked up at the plaque above the gate of the mansion again, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, this is the residence of Chief Cao Qi!"
Hearing this, Rosen's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Knock on the door!"
Everyone was still a little hesitant, but they saw Wu Xiang being the first to rush up, his shoulders lowered, and he slammed into the gate.
"Bang!"
Seeing this, the others also made up their minds, and they all rushed to the door without caring about Lord Cao's face.
"One, two...... Bang!"
"One, two...... Bang!"
There are many people with great strength, and the wooden door shattered in a few clicks, and Wu Xiang and the others immediately rushed in like vicious dogs pounced.
Then I saw a subordinate hurrying to the front.
"You ...... Who are you?"
Rosen didn't talk nonsense to the other party, and directly took out his waist card and shook it, and then said, "What happened?"
When the man saw that the person who came was from the garrison, he immediately seemed to see a savior, and said again and again: "It's our master, our master has an accident!"
Rosen's heart trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Take us there!"
Several people bypassed the front yard, walked through the front hall, and came directly to the door of the Cao family's bedroom.
Rosen immediately saw two maids fall by the window, their faces pale.
The windows of Cao's house are made of wood, and they are not pasted with paper or transparent glass, but with some kind of waxy yellow glass, which does not have high visibility.
But even so, reflecting the bright candlelight in the room, you can still clearly see a figure hanging in the air.
"Bang Bang!"
"Sir!"
There was a man who looked like a butler at the door, banging on the door and shouting, but there was no response from inside the house.
Finding that a stranger was coming, the butler immediately showed a look of vigilance and said in a deep voice: "Who are you!"
Rosen ignored him and made a look, Wu Xiang and the others immediately stepped forward to set it up, Rosen came to the door of the room, directly raised his legs, and kicked on the crack of the door with the power of the sea of qi.
"Bang!"
The door opened, and a brass lock clanged to the ground with a crisp sound.
Rosen stepped in and saw Cao Qing hanging in the air by a rope at a glance.
His face was pale, and his tongue was slightly spitted out.
"No one else is allowed to come in!
Seeing the scene inside the door, the butler was almost stunned, and the two maids were firmly watched by the two soldiers of the garrison.
Wu Xiang stepped into the house, and together with Rosen, put Cao Qingxian down.
Rosen pretended to reach out and probe Cao Qing's snort, hesitating whether to come to first aid measures such as manual breathing, and then heard Wu Xiang speak: "My lord, Cao Qi Chang has ......."
Rosen took a deep breath and found that Cao Qing's body was a little stiff, and he felt that he should not be able to save it, so he immediately frowned deeply.
He then got up and took a closer look at the scene.
The doors and windows around are closed, and the most interesting thing is that the door is not locked with an ordinary door stop, but with a copper lock, theoretically speaking, even if the key is with the murderer, it is unlikely to be locked outside the door.
The latches on the windows are not very funny, and the gaps between the windows are extremely narrow, estimated to be the distance that can pass through a strand of hair, and it looks like they should have been plugged in from the house.
Of course, after all, Rosen is not a professional criminal investigator, he only needs to transmit every detail of the picture to the earth synchronously through his own eyes.
For the rest, there are naturally various criminal investigation experts to help him study.
The roof is tightly sealed, there are no vents, and it is not like in some martial arts movies, where you can casually lift a piece of tile to reveal a big hole.
So in a sense, it's an absolute secret room.
The only possible cause of Cao Qing's death was suicide.
But here's the problem......
When Cao Qing was hung on the beam of the house with a rope, his feet were more than three feet above the ground, and under his feet, there was not even a stool!
Could it be that when Cao Qing committed suicide, he jumped up and hung his neck in the rope loop?
That's a bit of a!
Of course, there was an overturned tea table on the ground next to it, but the location of the tea table was quite far away from Cao Qing, and Rosen walked closer to take a look and found that there were three shallow circular marks on the table.
Got some fun......
Rosen preliminarily judged from the environment at the scene that it was a premeditated homicide.
But the logic of the murderer's behavior seems to be a little strange.
He arranged a secret room and deliberately concealed the information of his presence, but in an exaggerated way, he vetoed the possibility of Cao Qing's suicide.
What is it for?
Just to show off?
Rosen was puzzled, and at this moment, another chaotic footstep came from far and near, and Rosen turned his head to look, just as he saw Pan Shi hurrying with a team of garrisons.
"Master Pan. Lawson stepped forward to say hello, and then said, "At first glance, it should have been strangled to death, and then hung on the beams of the house." ”
Pan Shi stared at Cao Qing's corpse in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice, "Do you know who did it?"
Lawson shook his head: "I don't know yet." ”
After speaking, Lawson turned around and walked out of the door, and asked the butler who was slumped on the ground, "Can Captain Cao have an appointment with someone today?"
The butler was in a trance for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes......!
As he spoke, the butler's gaze dimmed again: "However, I don't know who the master has met with. ”
Rosen said sorry in his heart, then picked up the copper lock that fell on the ground, and asked the housekeeper again: "Does Chief Cao Qi use this anti-lock door on weekdays?"
This seems to be a less common habit.
However, the housekeeper nodded again: "When the master is usually at home, we are strictly forbidden to disturb, if there is an urgent matter to knock on the door." ”
Rosen frowned and looked at the lock, and saw that it was still locked, and the kick he had just kicked broke the jack on the inside of the door.
It's a little wicked.
At this moment, another soldier from the garrison hurriedly ran over and whispered, "The people from the Adjudication Division have arrived!"
When the words fell, Pan Shi's face immediately changed, and he scolded secretly: "Damn, how did this group of dead dogs receive the news?"
Rosen was a little surprised by Pan Shi's reaction, and then a stirring in his heart reminded him of a question Zhan Linwen had asked him.
Rosen still hasn't answered that question.
That was after Lawson investigated Lin Qianjun's beloved daughter, Lin Qingbi's boudoir, on the way to Yihuafang with Zhan Linwen, Zhan Linwen suddenly proposed.
"If you are a member of the garrison, is there a better way to deal with this situation?"
At that time, Rosen didn't understand what Zhan Linwen really wanted to express in this question.
But now he understands.
Therefore, the next moment, Rosen hurriedly turned his head to Pan Shi and said, "Master Pan, you quickly lead someone to stop those guys from the Adjudication Division!"
Hearing this, Pan Shi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then nodded: "Okay!"
As soon as the words fell, Pan Shi waved his hand and walked out with five or six garrison soldiers.
And Rosen said to another person: "Zhu Lei, you should immediately go out of the city as fast as possible and inform Lord Dutong of this matter!"
The other party was one of the recruits under Rosen at the beginning, and he was also his cronies, and after receiving the order, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.
Finally, Rosen pulled Wu Xiang back into the room, his eyes serious.
"Wu Xiang, this task I gave you is very important and cannot be missed!"
Wu Xiang also seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and with a rare firm expression on his face, he nodded and said, "My lord, please command!"
"You rush to the medical hall now and see if Lu Xuan is there! If so, take him to Yihuafang, and then report my name!"
"Yes!"
