Chapter 225: Knife

Chapter 225

On the east side of the dead alley is the Sun family's stove house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It is said that it is a stove room, but in fact it is just a simple small shed, not as high as the courtyard wall, and there is a large stove mixed with yellow mud and stones, and the soil will fall down with a touch of the hand.

Wei Qian tucked the hem of his robe into his belt and turned over the wall.

There were fragments of pottery bowls inserted into the wall in pieces, and they couldn't be seen at all underneath, if it weren't for Wei Qian's agility, the soles of his feet would have to be pierced. He examined the fragments closely, and saw black lines on a sharp corner.

Wei Qian asked someone to bring the paper and carefully wrapped the black line.

"My lord, I found a bloody blade at the bottom of the stove!" said an inspector standing in the Sun family's stove shed.

The overseer had taken out his blade and placed it on top of the cloth, and continued to inspect the hearth.

The wall had already been carefully inspected, and Wei Qian jumped down to look at the long knife.

This is a very common Tang knife, the thin blade is slightly curved, and the blood stains on it have dried up, Wei Qian only needs to know by sight that the murder weapon that killed Li Yu is not this one.

The knife edge on Li Yu's body is two inches wide, and it is sharp on both sides, like a knife but not a knife, like a sword and not a sword. So, whose is this one?

"My lord, I've found another handful!" said the Inspector delighted.

The Sun family who was standing on the side saw the murder weapon found in their stove, their faces turned white with fright, and they had at most thought about the widow's house next door in their lives, and they still had a son to get it, and they didn't dare to dream of harming people's lives!

The gray-bearded Sun Laosuo's legs and feet were weak, and he fell to the ground with a pop, struggling to kneel, "My lord, this thing is not ours!"

When the others saw that the father was kneeling, they were all busy kneeling, and the old woman directly rolled her eyes and fainted, and the children were scared and cried.

The scene is chickens flying and dogs jumping.

From the middle of the third watch last night to the end of today, the information that can be collected has been collected, and the entire Twenty Dynasty Alley has been carefully searched by the people of the Supervision Department, and Wei Qian asked the body to be carried away.

Li Yu's home has become the temporary office of the Supervision Department.

"Tell me about the situation of Li Zhai. Wei Qian said.

Cui Ning glanced at Yi Junru, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he said, "Three and a half footprints were found in the courtyard, and after my measurement with Master Yi, I suspect that at least two or three people sneaked into Li's house last night." ”

Cui Ning handed over the rubbed footprints, "According to the distance, size, and depth of the footprints, it is determined that two of the complete footprints belong to the same person, and because the other half footprints are not very clear, it cannot be determined, but judging from the distance between the two footprints, we temporarily suspect that they belong to different people." ”

"Last night the kitchen stove was still warm, there was a small amount of ash in the stove, and there was more than half a bucket of warm water in the bath, and there was no trace of bathing. Cui Ning gave Wei Qian the notes he wrote down yesterday, "The people from the Second Supervision Department said that after leaving the post last night, Lord Li left the Supervision Division, but I looked all over the house, there was no food at home, and there was no trace of activity in the study, hall, courtyard and other places, I think that after Lord Li left the Supervision Department last night, he may not have gone home directly, but went to a certain place to eat or run errands, and did not go home until after dark." ”

Unless Li Yu has the hobby of sitting in a place in a daze for two or three hours.

"Besides, I thought that Master Lee might have done something in the time before he went home that he had to take a bath. ”

Recently, the entire Supervision Department has been relatively idle, and he did not go out yesterday or interrogate prisoners, so he will not sweat in this weather. Most people in the Supervision Department know that Li Yu is not a particularly particular person, what is the reason for a single man who is not very particular about suddenly boiling water and bathing in a house that is not very hot?

Everyone thought of this question, Huang Rui said, "In this kind of weather, if you just sweat, just wipe it with cold water, there is no need to boil water for bathing." ”

Cui Ning and Wei Qian's family has servants boiling hot water all year round, but they didn't think of this problem for a while.

According to the existing clues, it can already be roughly inferred what happened before Li Yu's death last night.

After leaving office yesterday, Li Yu went to a certain place to eat or run errands, maybe he was very dirty, and he rarely boiled water for himself after returning home. He had just boiled hot water, took a bucket to the bath, and then went back to the bedroom to find a change of clothes, and before he had time to bathe, he noticed that someone had sneaked in outside, and he found that the other party was more numerous, and in a hurry, he took a blade and fireworks to rush out of the encirclement, ready to ask for help from the nearest guard pavilion, but he didn't know that the previous alley had been sealed half a month ago.

He ran into a dead alley and was trapped in a desperate struggle that resulted in his death......

"What about the clothes he changed?" Wei Qian found that Cui Ning's notes did not mention clothes.

Cui Ning was stunned for a moment, "I didn't find it." ”

Huang Rui said, "Could it be the reason why Li Zuoling was killed?"

"I don't rule it out. Wei Qian quickly wrote down the suspicion and put the question aside for the time being, "The people on both sides of the dead alley have not been woken up, which shows that the so-called desperate struggle did not last long, and it may only happen in an instant. ”

Yi Junru added, "We asked the whole street last night, and no one noticed anything unusual or heard an unusual sound. (To be continued.) )
