Lu Li understood Shen Wansha's surprise very well.
From 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., this time is the busiest time. Generally, the small streets still have to be crowded with people, and there is an endless stream, how can the most prosperous street market in the capital not rub shoulders with pedestrians?
Committing murder in front of everyone's eyes, is the murderer too bold, or are the people around him blind?
Shen Wansha turned around, his eyes full of questions, "Isn't it moving corpses?" β
"No, it won't." Helian Yu patted the dust on the young master's clothes, "This person has shed too much blood." β
"Blood?" Shen Wansha still didn't understand, and looked at Lu Li.
Lu Li nodded, "The cause of this person's death was probably due to a critical injury and excessive bleeding. The amount of blood in a person's body is limited, and the bleeding speed of the large blood vessels will be very fast, if the body is removed...... I'm afraid this blood will be shed in the process. β
Shen Wansha looked at the large dark blood stains under the deceased's body, and said in his heart that it was the same, but if this was the case, he couldn't help but shudder, "The murderer is so bold!" β
Helian Yu half-hugged the young master in his arms and gently patted his back, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the murderer is not here......"
"Dare to kill people in the city, not known to others, the murderer is not only bold, but also very calm." Zhao Zhu looked around the scene, and there was a sharp light in his slender eyes, "I may be very familiar with the terrain and have planned in advance." β
Familiarity with the terrain...... Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "That's the people nearby who committed the crime?" β
"Quite possibly." Lu Li tied his hands in front of his abdomen, "Only by being familiar with the environment can you feel at ease and have enough mastery." β
His eyelashes narrowed slightly, and he slowly analyzed: "The courage will be determined to kill, and only by making a plan calmly can you successfully kill people in the downtown area, and retreat with your whole body." Calm and planned, it shows that the murderer is smart. But if a smart person has a murderous intention, he should choose the most favorable time and place, and the market is busy during the day, not the best time and place......"
So, why?
Shen Wansha's small eyebrows were raised, "Could it be a sudden accident?" For example, if you suddenly quarrel or something, you are very angry, and you have a lot of temperament, so you start. β
"If this is the case, the dispute will definitely attract others," Helian Yu touched the young master's head, "The murderer can't escape." β
The summer sun was scorching, and the bloody corpse quickly attracted flies and insects, buzzing around it was very ugly, and the smell was also unpleasant. In this way, even if Shen Wansha hadn't touched it by chance, this corpse would have been found quickly.
Zhao Zhu's eyes were slightly glazed: "If it's not that the murderer is very convenient at this time period, or the murderer wants the deceased to be found as much as possible." β
It is said that the moon is dark and kills people, the wind is high and the day is on fire, and it is most convenient to do this kind of thing in a cold and dark night. Smart people don't deliberately pick bad times to kill, so it's likely that the murderer is most convenient during the day, that is, the murderer can't go out at night due to work or family constraints.
Or there may be a reason why it has to be done. Whether it is to satisfy one's own smugness or to deter others, the murderer must do it during the day to make the death of the deceased unfold.
This is very clear, and everyone can understand it with a little thought. Zhao Zhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li, with a bright fire in his eyes, as if he was proud, and as if he was asking, did you think of a place?
Lu Liguaner, he thinks so too. However, he only thought that it was probably inconvenient for the murderer to go out at night, and he did not think that the murderer might want the deceased to be found as soon as possible.
"The deceased is also considered to be in the prime of life, won't he call someone when he is threatened?" Shen Wansha pointed to the mouth of the alley, "Just this little bit of road, there are people outside, if the deceased shouts, someone will come, but he can't save him, and he can know who the murderer is, why doesn't he call?" Can't you call it? Mute? Or did you faint at the time? β
The young master's brain is not small.
"Look at his dead stateβ" Helian Yu stretched out his hand, pointing to the dead man's stiff clasped hands, his eyes wide open, and some signs of struggle on the ground...... This state is not at all like being in a coma before death, and as for whether he is dumb or not, it is impossible to tell.
"Hmm...... Will someone cover their mouths? But he's so strong, he will struggle even if his mouth is covered...... Or was it drugged? The young master was still divergent in his thinking, and leaned over to pull Lu Li's sleeve, "Can you autopsy to see what kind of drug he was fed, and does it have a sound loss effect?" β
This one...... Lu Li's face was embarrassed, "Probably not." "There is no instrument to test the toxicology and pharmacology!
So that's a doubt.
There is another one, which is the murder weapon. Lu Li carefully observed the wound of the deceased, the style of this murder weapon is very strange, the wound caused by it is smooth, it should be very sharp, but the wound that goes down is not straight, it is a little concave and convex, and it is narrow below and wide above, and the angle is abrupt, not smooth at all, nor asymmetrical. It's a pity that no traces of the murder weapon were found at the scene, and it should have been taken away by the murderer.
After Lu Li focused on analyzing this point, everyone was very interested, especially wanting to see what kind of murder weapon was so powerful, with a strange shape and a great damage. can make the deceased shed so much blood, in addition to the deceased in his prime, there is a lot of blood on his body, and the murder weapon must have played a great role.
β¦β¦
During the discussion time of several people, Zhao Zhu's guards had already protected the scene and invited people from the government to come over. As soon as the government officials arrived, Lu Li discussed and speculated with the officials and took a pen and paper to write them down.
The focus is on the direction of exploration. For example, the murderer may live nearby, it may be inconvenient to go out at night, and the deceased may be acquaintances, and the killing tools are very strange...... these places. The first step is to find out the identity of the deceased, as long as you find out the identity of the deceased, and then investigate their social relations, you should be rewarded.
The scene should also be recorded in detail, and as for the corpse, it should be immediately transferred to the morgue in the ya, and please take a look at it.
The cause of death of the deceased was obvious, and considering the ancient resistance to dissection, Lu Li thought that there was no need for autopsy at this stage, and he directly let the officials take him away.
The officials in Shangjing will not be particularly slack in their work, especially the person who found the corpse is King Ping, this case is not reminded by others at all, and it is impossible to be delayed. And at this stage, the important work is still the investigation and evidence collection stage, and Lu Li can't help much......
Of course, Lu Li has a certain reputation now, but as long as he handles it, it is not easy for the officials to hide the investigation process, and they will report it from time to time.
As for Fang Cai's distress, the dark guards also sent the results. Most of the men in black who sneaked up on the attack ran away, only three were caught, and two of them committed suicide by biting the poison, but they didn't have time to stop it, and one was jawed off and has been transferred to a dark prison.
After hearing this, Zhao Shu directly ordered Hong You to continue to be in charge of this matter, and secretly communicated with Helian Yu, as for Lu Li and Shen Wansha, he was afraid that they would be afraid and worried, so he didn't let them know.
Due to the sudden distress, Lu Li and Shen Wansha were a bit wolf, especially Shen Wansha, not only the clothes on his body were dirty, but his little face was dusty because of the fall, and he was frightened one after another...... Zhao Zhu asked He Lianyu to send him home, and the few people separated.
As for Lu Li's desire to buy gifts, Zhao Zhu β‘β‘.
β¦β¦
On the third day, Lu Li handed over the name sticker in advance and went to Wu'an to visit.
Shen Wansha thought about this in his heart and also followed. Seeing him appear, Zhao Shu looked up and down, his eyes full of suspicion. The young master puffed up his chest and puffed out his face, "I'm not so useless!" β
How could the young master be frightened by a mere corpse! Just kidding, he has seen more corpses in the past two years than he has seen in Shangjing for more than ten years, so he has long gotten used to it, okay!
Helian Yu recovered his identity, and naturally followed without pressure.
He wears bright blue earrings in one ear, his long hair is not tied up, he is loosely buckled behind his shoulder with a jade buckle, he is wearing a dark embroidered silver coin, the material is high-quality, a slightly tight-fitting suit, even the boots are bright white, the dust is not clean, when he walks slowly against the sun, he is indifferent and elegant, noble and does not lose the mysterious national characteristics, and the whole portrait is covered with a layer of faint pearls, which is not good-looking.
He touched Shen Wansha's head and smiled lightly at him, his peach blossom eyes were full of lingering spring thoughts, "Young master is very good." Even the voice is low and tactful, and the hook is intoxicating.
Shen Wansha......
Shen Wansha's little face immediately turned red.
Lu Li: ......
instantly felt that he and Zhao Zhu were redundant.
Zhao Zhu's slender eyes narrowed, is Helian Yu showing off! It's showing off, it's definitely showing off! He didn't even make Lu Li blush outside!
King Ping was a little unwilling, secretly held Lu Li's hand, and slowly drilled into it along his sleeve.
Lu Li shook off his hand, and his fierce eyes squinted: Don't play hooligans! Now it's time to get down to business!
Zhao Shu was unwilling and continued to move.
Lu Li squinted dangerously: What's the matter, don't listen to me?
Zhao Zhu......
Zhao Shu was obedient and stood to the side obediently, looking like a big dog with his ears and tail drooping.
Lu Li: ...... Did I bully you! His Royal Highness King Ping, it's not suitable for you to put on such a pose, are you making it! What to do if you scare someone!
β¦β¦
In short, the four of them took a break and slowly walked to the front of Wu'an Houfu. Mrs. Zhang attached great importance to the visitors, and sent the porter to watch them early, and when she saw the guests arrive, she greeted them all the way to the main hall, and her attitude was very friendly.
Before coming, Lu Li did his homework and knew the general situation of Wu'an Houfu.
Wu'an Hou's surname is Cui, his name is Luo, and his ancestors are also five surnames and seven wang clans, after time, wars, and many clansmen, Cui Luo's branch is more miserable, and the heritage of the wealthy family has been lost, and it has fallen to a situation that is no better than the rich families in the small village.
Growing up in such a situation, Cui Luo's growth process can be imagined, and he is definitely not a wealthy son with good demeanor and etiquette. But he was lucky, his father died to save the first emperor, and the first emperor directly made Cui Luo a marquis.
Cui Luo was thirteen years old at the time, and went to Cui's house in Beijing with his family tree to recognize his relatives and ask for help from his clansmen. The Cui family's genealogy can't be faked, it's just an ordinary clan, and the Cui family doesn't have the reason to ignore it, not to mention this young man who has been knighted?
The Cui family is very dedicated, teaching Cui Luo the four books, five classics and six arts, teaching him to read history and reasoning, memorizing the family lineage, and helping him train his subordinates, and choosing a lady as a ......
In the end, the family has a deep background and can teach people, this Cui Luo is very decent when he walks around the capital. It's just that he was thirteen years old when he learned this, and his temperament had been developed, which was still different from those he had cultivated since childhood. He is a little strong, he always wants to overpower others, he shows that he has more personality and more powerful, and his actions are a little biased, and then he sees that he can't work hard, and he breaks the jar and breaks, so he simply lets go of his temperament, drinks and discharges the meat forest, and the concubines serve hundreds of concubines, and the five stones are always ready......
In the end, he succeeded in killing himself.
His wife, Zhang Sanniang, is the object of Lu Li's visit today.
Although Zhang Sanniang's mother's family is not as inherited as the Cui family in Shangjing, it is also a famous family with excellent upbringing. When Miao Hongxiao was in Beijing, she had a wide range of friends, but if she said that she had deep feelings and had nothing to talk about, except for Mrs. Huai Lan Xin, there was only Zhang Sanniang.
Lan Xin spoke highly of Zhang Sanniang, praising her as a woman from a family with a gentle and atmospheric personality, and there was nothing bad about Derong's meritorious words.
When Lu Li handed over the post, he clearly pointed out his relationship with Miao Hongxiao, and now that he received this courtesy, he knew that this Mrs. Hou and Miao Hongxiao really had a very good relationship......
"Please sit down, and the master will come immediately." The little maid brought the four of Lu Li to the main hall, and the delicate and clever little maid served tea, and saluted with a sweet smile.
When people went out, Shen Wansha smiled and leaned over to Lu Li's side and whispered: "The furnishings in this mansion are very elegant and elegant, and the main mother is really good-looking." β
Lu Li: ......
I just thought about it all the way, and I didn't pay attention to my surroundings at all!
Mrs. Hou Zhang soon came.
She wore a snow-blue swastika skirt, a lotus-colored waist seal, a pendant jasper pressed skirt, lightly lifted the skirt and crossed the threshold with her bare hands, goose egg face, golden phoenix eyes, black hair and snow skin, beautiful appearance, if she didn't know her age, Lu Li didn't believe that this was a woman in her thirties and nearly forty years old.
She looked at the people in the hall carefully, and walked straight to Lu Li, "Are you Lu Li?" β
Maybe because of widowhood, Zhang's clothes are not bright, and there are not many ornaments on his body, and even his smile is a little deliberately suppressed, but Lu Li still felt her enthusiasm, a smile spread on his face, and he bowed deeply, "The junior is Lu Li, I have seen Mrs. β
"Good...... It's a good ......" Zhang personally helped Lu Li up, his eyes were full of tears, and his hands trembled slightly, "You look like Ah Xiao, I thought you ...... I thought ......" was very excited.
Lu Li let her look at it and comforted her slowly, "I didn't know about my mother's relatives before, but I only heard about you from Mrs. Huai recently, so I took the liberty to ask to see you." β
As if remembering the past, Zhang's eyes were full of sadness, she sighed, closed her eyes to adjust, opened them again, and patted Lu Li's shoulder, "I'm sorry for you." β
That is, it is an old friend of his mother, Lu Li didn't want to make Zhang's family sad, he tried to smile brightly, and his words were gentle and comforting, "Madame's words are serious." β
β¦β¦
Zhang's good feelings were adjusted for a long time, and the corners of his eyes were sealed, and he turned to look at the three young people in the hall, and first saluted Zhao Zhufu, "The concubine is rude." β
Whoever is excited may lose his manners, and besides, it is also for Lu Li, Zhao Shu didn't mind, and waved his hand to let her get up.
Zhang looked at Shen Wansha with a smile, "Young Master Shen has grown up. β
Shen Wansha smiled and arched his hand, "I am good friends with Xiao Lizi, he said that he wanted to see you, I knew that you were kind to the juniors, so he came with his face together." β
When the Zhang family saw Lu Li for the first time, he naturally hoped that Lu Li would be well, and when he heard Shen Wansha say that they were friends, he welcomed him even more, "Fuli Town is quiet, I hope you will often come to make trouble with me!" β
As for Helian Yu, she didn't know it, "This isβ"
Shen Wansha hugged Helianyu's arm and introduced, "His name is Helianyu, he is Prince Motuo, and he is also a good friend of Xiao Lizi!" β
Zhang received the post yesterday and asked people to go out to inquire, Lu Li is very famous in Shangjing, and she soon knew all kinds of amazing deeds of Lu Li. The matter of the alien mission was not small, at that time the Zhang family had not yet left Beijing, and they also knew about this matter, and vaguely knew that there was a great contribution, but at that time she didn't pay attention to Lu Li, and she didn't pay attention to the name when she heard it, and she was shocked when she contacted it yesterday.
Now that I think about the two places together, Zhang has an interpretation: I probably got acquainted with each other in the case.
"Come on, sit down and talk." Zhang beckoned a few people to sit down and began to talk to Lu Li.
asked Lu Li about the past, where he used to live, how he got to Beijing, whether he was tired or not, he wanted to know everything. But she didn't snub the other three guests, and stopped talking from time to time, so that the atmosphere in the main hall was relaxed and mellow.
Between questions and answers, Zhang's feelings slowly eased, and Lu Li realized that Zhang's really didn't like to laugh.
Her eyebrows were cold, and her eyes were gloomy, as if there was a sorrow that could not be erased. Lu Li understands that becoming a widow at such an age will probably not be very happy. But she is not indulging in sadness, she is very talkative, her eyes are clear and bright, her speech is organized, the furnishings in the house are elegant and emotional, and she seems to have lost her enthusiasm for life, and she is in good shape......
Lu Li was very comforted in his heart.
In ancient times, women's lives were not easy, and the word women's virtue tied people tightly, although Zhang's heart was sad, but he could still not be cowardly and face it bravely, which was really good. Miao Hongxiao is a strange woman, and Mrs. Huai also has hills and valleys in her heart, and she knows friends and debaters, and this Mrs. Hou must also have good qualities.
Lu Li's heart was settled, and the previous worries about the character of the widow were gone, and the questions could be asked without burden, "I'm a servant, I guess my wife already knows." My mother's death was very sudden, and I was afraid that there was a reason for it, so I have been visiting everywhere for the past two years. Mrs. Huai gave me a lot of information, but when my mother died, she had no contact with her in the distance, so I wonder if my mother could have met my mother at that time? β
Thinking of the old man, Zhang's once again made a little gaffe, and the handkerchief printed the corners of his eyes, "But Lan Xin said so to you?" β
"At that time, I begged Mrs. Huai, but she couldn't, so I ......" Lu Li got up and pleaded guilty, "I hope Mrs. won't blame." β
"I blame you for everything, it's all true." Zhang asked him to sit down, his eyes swept over the three young people sitting next to him, and sighed lightly, "I am a friend with Ah Xiao and even friends, you are not polite, call me Aunt Zhang." β
She said this slowly, and her eyes seemed to be pointed...... Lu Li followed her gaze and immediately understood that Zhang should be reminding him that private words were inconvenient to spread, could these three people be trusted? Do you need her to ask them to recuse themselves?
Lu Li immediately replied with a rather subtle nodding motion, indicating that he understood, and these three people were his trusted friends, so there was no need to avoid them, and at the same time obediently called Aunt Zhang, "You are really similar to Aunt Lan, and she quickly asked me to change my mind and call her Aunt Lan." β
Zhang understood, and nodded slowly, "Are we friends...... this exclamation, but it is for Lan Xin.
Knowing that the person was credible, Zhang waved away the people around him. She looked out the window, looked at the pomegranates in full swing in the court, and was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke, "I did see Ah Xiao at that time. β
That was the last time they saw each other. Miao Hongxiao was the same as in the past, lively and active, her posture was free and easy, her smile was even brighter than before, pulling her to play crazy, she couldn't imagine that Ah Xiao was facing great difficulties at that time.
"Ah Xiao likes to bully her husband as much as ever, your father Lu Shaoxuan is a very generous and talented man with hills and valleys in his chest, and he is not angry when I see it...... At that time, the peach blossoms bloomed all over the mountains, and the scenery was so beautiful that people forgot to breathe......"
Lu Li's fingers twisted slightly, "My mother had any special manners at that time?" β
"Well, she has a sachet around her waist, and she doesn't take it off when she bathes. She said that her husband made it for her with her own hands, and she didn't want to leave for a moment, I laughed at her, and she was very proud. Zhang glanced at Lu Li, "This is one of them." β
That's a ...... That is, "And? Lu Li's eyes lit up.
Zhang nodded, "I lived with Ah Xiao for a few days at that time, and I accidentally saw it when I was leaving...... She had a letter at the bottom of the cabinet, wrapped in golden skin, very thick. β
Lu Li didn't understand, is there any difference in this letter?
Zhao Zhu sat very close to him, and when he saw that he was puzzled, he turned his head sideways and explained to him in a low voice: "The golden leather letter may be related to the royal family." β
So does Miao Hongxiao have dealings with people from the royal family? Lu Li's eyes were wide open, and his face was full of shock.
"When I was separated from Ah Xiao, I made an appointment with the time and place of the next meeting, and we would communicate some letters before the arrival of the day, but I wrote a letter, but there was no response like a stone sinking into the sea, and I didn't receive a letter from Ah Xiao."
Zhang continued to speak, and the expression on his face became even more sad, "I was worried, I had a bad premonition, I couldn't hold it back, I arrived at that place in advance, but I waited for ten days, and Ah Xiao didn't come." β
"Ah Xiao is a very honest person, but whatever she says, she will definitely do it, she has never appeared, I know that something happened to her."
Zhang's voice was a little choked, "Ah Xiao loves to play games, all kinds of games, we have also made an agreement, if you can't go to the appointment under an accident, you must leave a letter to the other party...... I followed those game methods and found a letter that Ah Xiao left for me. β
"The letter told me that if I saw the letter, it must be that she was riddled with evil things and could not come, so I should not panic, not be afraid, and most importantly, I must not move! She said that she was in big trouble, and she could handle it, but it was very troublesome, and she couldn't protect the people around her, so she could only stay away temporarily. I've met her before, so I might be in danger of keeping this matter alive, and I must not open my mouth, and I must not talk to anyone......"
