Chapter 221: The Death of the Owner
When I got home, it was completely dark.
"Miss Seven, you come back" Before Zhou Quan's words were finished, Wen Jing made a "shhh" gesture to him and hurriedly closed his mouth.
Wen Jing stepped into the house and looked down at herself, she decided that it was better to sneak in quietly, otherwise she would be "interrogated" for a long time.
Tiptoeing to the gate of the bamboo garden, Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately no one found out.
"Where have you been? Came back so late. A faint voice suddenly sounded.
Wen Jing was bluffed, turned around and looked, and suddenly felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped, the big iceberg didn't seem to be in a good mood today, could it be that he was cut by the saint?
"Went to do something."
Seeing Wang Jue's cold face, Wen Jing laughed dryly twice.
Seeing that Wen Jing looked tired, his clothes were covered with ash, the hair on his sideburns was wet and dry, sticking together, and there was still a bandage on his left arm, and the original white bandage was already jet black, and the cloth strip of the bandage had been loosened and hung on his arm, Wang Jue suddenly lost his breath.
"You're all injured like this, and you're running around! It's so dirty, are you going to dig up the ancestral grave for an autopsy?! Wang Jue said with anger on his face.
“”
Wen Jing said in his heart, you can get this right, and you really went to dig the ancestral grave
"Do you know what it was like the last time I saw you lying covered in blood by the river? I thought you were dead! How lucky do you think you are? Just because I've been able to get you back from Hades again and again doesn't mean I'll be so lucky next time! Wang Jue's voice was not high. But he was obviously suppressing his anger, and his expression was extremely cold.
It was the first time to see Wang Jue make such a big fire, Wen Jing was stunned for a long time before he whispered: "I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
Since the kidnapping happened a few days ago, Wang Jue has been silent, not mentioning a word, and in the days when Wen Jing was in a coma, Wang Jue did not go to see her, which was later inadvertently said by Qingshuang. So Wen Jing didn't pay attention to it at all. I just went to thank Wang Jue, and now that I think about it, it was just the calm before the storm, and it only needed a fuse
Qingshuang on the side walked out of the house. It was also a look of surprise. It was also the first time she saw Wang Jue lose her temper. I've never seen him say such a thing all at once.
"Lady, it's cold outside, you go in and talk."
Wen Jing nodded. When Fang Cai helped King Xuan push the lid of the coffin, he seemed to have touched a wound, and he was completely attracted by Concubine Rong's corpse at that time, and he didn't feel pain, and when he came back, he felt that his arms and back were hurting.
Wang Jue's complexion softened slightly, and he followed into the house and helped Wen Jing untie the gauze on his arm.
"I'll do it myself." Wen Jing said softly, she could feel the wound tearing and bleeding.
"Don't move." Wang Jue said coldly.
Sure enough, when Wang Jue saw the wound with a mouth in the gauze, his face that had just eased was a little colder than just now.
The blood spilled from the wound stuck to the gauze, and it was a little painful when the gauze was removed, and Wen Jing gasped a few breaths.
Wang Jue glared at Wen Jing, who had already closed his eyes and was waiting to be sprayed again, only to hear Wang Jue sigh heavily.
"Come with me out of this place of right and wrong, no matter how many people are around you, you will still be in danger and will be injured, unless you resign from the office, if you don't have anything to light that night, or if the murderer finds you before me, today is already your first seven"
The first seven Wen Jing's forehead was covered with black lines.
"Qi Niang, are you back?" Outside the door, I suddenly remembered Ji Changge's voice.
"It's Lord Ji." Qingshuang looked at the two of them after speaking.
"Open the door."
The door opened, Ji Changge looked at Wang Jue who was bandaging Wen Jing's wounds, and then said with a smile: "Qi Niang can let me find it today." ”
Looking at the faint smile on Ji Changge's face, Wen Jing sighed again, I'm afraid the guards of Dali Temple are going to hate her.
Wen Jing didn't speak, Ji Changge guessed that it should be related to King Xuan's visit the day before yesterday, Wen Jing didn't want to say, he didn't ask anymore, it's okay if people are fine.
After bandaging the wound, Wang Jue and Ji Changge walked out.
When the moon was in the sky, Ji Changge and Wang Jue walked in the courtyard one after the other.
"Why are you always so calm, aren't you afraid of her at all?" Wang Jue asked in a low voice.
Ji Changge smiled slightly: "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid, but I'm even more afraid that she will hate me." ”
Looking at Wang Jue's puzzled face, Ji Changge continued: "Qi Niang likes autopsies and solves cases, just as you like to draw and read books, doesn't she know that there is danger?" If she is locked in the backyard, the danger may be gone, but will she be happy? ”
Wang Jue was silent, he had been looking at the problem from his own point of view, imposing what he thought was good on Wen Jing, listening to Ji Changge's words, and thinking about it, if someone didn't let him read calligraphy and painting, and let him be a butcher, he would also feel that life was worse than death, from this point of view, he had already lost.
"All we can do is try to keep her safe." Ji Changge continued.
Seeing Ji Changge's calm face, Wang Jue snorted coldly and said, "Master Ji already knows where Qi Niang went, so why pretend that he doesn't know anything." ”
Ji Changge laughed: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from Zhuangyuanlang's eyes." ”
Although he said so, Wang Jue had a slight change in his opinion of Ji Changge, this seemingly careless man, in fact, was not less thinking than him
After eating, the four of them walked into the study, lit the oil lamp, and the crackling sound of the candle flame was heard in the room.
"Master Ji, has that Yang Wen found it?" Wen Jing looked at Ji Changge and asked.
"I went to check the records, there is no one named Yang Wen out of the city at all, there are two possibilities, one, he did not go out of the city at all, two, he used a fake name and opened a fake road guide (a kind of official document issued by the local government like a letter of introduction, pass, etc.), I have sent someone to find the whereabouts of this person, if he has not left the city, he should be able to find it soon." Ji Chang sang.
"By the way, I have good news for you." Ji Changge said with a smile.
"What did you find?" Wen Jing was suddenly interested. Sweep away fatigue.
"That farmer, Gao Chengxi, guess what he did before he died?" Ji Changge pretended to be mysterious.
"Serving in the Criminal Department." Wang Jue said suddenly.
"Specifically?" Ji Changge looked at Wang Jue and said, it is not uncommon to be able to guess in the Criminal Department, if you can guess the specific position, you are smart.
Wang Jue pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Executioner." ”
Ji Changge's eyes showed approval: "Yes, it is the executioner." ”
"Wang Xian's nephew is really talented in the Hanlin Academy, if he goes to the Criminal Department, Qi Niang can resign, and the old man can save his worries. Don't worry about it every day. Wen Qiran quipped.
"Daddy." Wen Jingjiao said angrily. Praise Wang Jue and praise Wang Jue, why do you want to belittle her twice, her tone is still like a complaining father.
Ding Wu found out that Gao Chengxi originally lived in Shiqiao Lane in the east of the city. He was originally a butcher. There are death row prisoners who need to be executed. He went to work as an executioner, and usually made a living by killing pigs, and lived a very poor life. Ten years ago, he suddenly moved overnight, the neighbors didn't know where he went, and he hasn't seen him since, in terms of time, it doesn't quite match Bai Zhaoxian, and Ding Wu also found an old man Liang Bo who had been a subordinate in Zhuangzi, according to Liang Bo, Gao Chengxi did buy Zhuangzi from another person ten years ago, leaving Liang Bo and a few other people. Ji Chang sang.
"I'm afraid that a pig killer can't afford to buy a manor, Bai Zhaoxian is too, and so is Zhao Shenghua, this must not be a coincidence."
According to Liang Bo, Gao Chengxi is a very strange person, few words, full of sorrow all day long, since moving to Zhuangzi, he does not leave the house, at most walks around Zhuangzi for a while, his wife and children are not allowed to go out, the chickens, ducks and pigs raised by the grain planted on Zhuangzi are enough for the whole Zhuang people to live, and there are no relatives and friends to come to Zhuangzi, occasionally there are passers-by to spend the night, Gao Chengxi locked the door of Zhuangzi, no one is allowed to open the door, they lived in isolation for seven years, and then one day Zhuangzi suddenly caught fire, The old man's family was locked in the house, the door was locked from the inside, they wanted to save people, but the fire was too big, the house soon collapsed, after the death of Gao Chengxi's family, they did not leave, still living a self-sufficient life, but they found that there were often crying, and some people also saw female ghosts with their hair scattered, and then they all moved away. Ji Chang sang.
Picking up the lantern flowers, Wen Jing frowned and said: "Gao Chengxi is afraid of being chased and killed, so he lived such a life of isolation, he seems to have known that someone is going to kill him, so he found this quiet Zhuangzi, but unfortunately in the end it was not a good end, and this fire is really a bit strange, the family did not run out, the door was locked from the inside, and the secret room was murdered and cremated." ”
Wen Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, and Ji Changge hurriedly asked, "What did you think of?" ”
"It's the same method as the last time the group of people wanted to kill me, they originally planned to throw me and Qingshuang into the well, and then destroy the corpses, and the wellhead is sealed into a secret room, whether it is burned by fire or starved to death, it is a secret room killing."
"Go to Zhuangzi tomorrow to see if you can find any clues, Zhuangzi should have been cleaned, and there is little hope of finding clues." Ji Chang sang.
"You'll know if you've seen it."
Wen Qiran said in a deep voice: "I have a little impression of this fire three years ago, when I went to check the scene, the fire was too big, the whole house was burned, and the corpses were burned black, the cause of the fire may be because the oil lamp fell down, igniting other things, this case is over, now listen to you, this case is quite suspicious, the four deceased were all lying not far from the bed, the deceased's nose, throat and lungs have a large amount of soot, that is, according to this, we judged that the four deceased were accidentally burned. ”
"It is also possible that they were not dead at the time, but they were already incapacitated, such as being drugged, or seriously injured, and they could only roll out of bed after struggling for a long time, if they were normal people, they should have the ability to escape, but before they died, the soot entered the nasal trachea of the deceased in large quantities, which is not difficult to explain." Wen Jing said.
The three nodded, the fire three years ago was not an accident, but man-made. (To be continued......)
