Subsequently, everyone left the table, passed through the lecture hall, the Taoist Temple and Tibet, turned left at the north gate of the academy, and went to the West Mountain. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After walking less than 500 steps, everyone came to the foot of a hill, which was the West Mountain. The mountain is not high, about 50 zhang, but it is full of thorns, and the road is very difficult to walk. However, on the mountain road, there was birdsong everywhere, and everyone listened to it pleasantly. I finally got to the top of the mountain, and the Temple of the Heavenly King was in the middle. As Wu Yuanzi said, this place has been abandoned for a long time, and the Tianwang Temple is dilapidated and has no incense.

When everyone entered the temple, they saw a large amount of blood stains on the ground, on the body of the Heavenly King, and on the wooden sword in his hand, as well as on the Heavenly King of the Kingdom next to him and on the wall on that side. When Wang calmly looked closer, he found that the blood stains on the body and the wall of the Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom were sprayed up from the front, and he smelled it, and without saying much, he went up to the second floor with Wu Yuanzi. On the second floor, the floor was a little rotten, but everyone wouldn't fall down on their own. Since someone came, footprints and other traces were basically destroyed, but some blood stains could still be seen. And that big hole was directly above the Growth Heavenly King, and from the shape, it was impossible to tell that someone had prepared it in advance. For the sake of safety, Wu Yuanzi led everyone downstairs after a short time.

At the top of the mountain, the people searched around again. Mu Yingchun found that there was a bright light in front of him, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a small steel ball, and there were still blood stains. Mu Yingchun hurriedly picked it up, and handed it to Wang Congrong when he turned around. Wang calmly asked, "How can there be steel balls here?" ”

Wu Yuanzi explained: "This is marbles. There are many birds here, and many people come here to see them, including the students of the college. Especially in this season, there are even more people coming. Some mischievous people shoot birds with slingshots and marbles. A few days ago, we picked up a lot of them, thinking they were murder weapons. But the blood on it is not human, it is all from a finch, and it has long been refuted by Yuan Zhehao. ”

Seeing that Wang calmly nodded, Wu Yuanzi asked, "I don't know what Lord Wang thinks?" ”

Wang Congrong said: "Anyway, it's not suicide. ”

Wu Yuanzi wanted to ask again, but Wang Congrong only said that it was difficult to say other things. In a few moments, the people went down the mountain. And Mu Yingchun's clothes were torn by branches in the jungle, so Wang calmly said: "When we return to the city, we will go to the silk village to have a look and buy a few new ones for my little sister." Mu Yingchun was naturally happy, and only said a word.

On the way down the mountain, Wu Yuanzi talked about Chang Zaixiao's situation again: In the early morning four days ago, someone found a corpse floating in the moat to the east. After salvage, we found that it was Chang Zaixiao, the youngest son of Dengfeng County. After Yuan Zhehao's examination, he died late the night before, and his death was also very miserable, first he was stripped naked, then put in a bamboo cage full of thorns, and then thrown into the moat, and drowned alive.

Wu Yuanzi added: "In Songshan Academy, Chang Zaixiao is also an excellent student, and according to Dean Kang, they are all kind to people. Their Chang family is in the east of the county government, and they are the prominent families of Dengfeng County, specializing in the cloth business. Whenever there is a disaster, like the An family, the Chang family also tries their best to help, and they are a great benevolent family. From this point of view, the Chang family and Chang Zaixiao should not have enmity with others. ”

Yuan Zhehao said: "He died when he was in Yin. ”

Subsequently, Wu Yuanzi led everyone to the moat in the east of Dengfeng County. After a little investigation, Wang Congrong said nothing.

Seeing this, Wu Yuanzi talked about the murder of Rutu today: Early this morning, some villagers went to the Yama Hall in Nanshan to make incense, and found that it was a mess inside, as if it had been smoked. The man also found a man buried under the great censer with his head cut off. The head was resting with the sacrifice, and it was still facing the Lord of Yama, which was really miserable. After the officials and coroners arrived, Wu Yuanzi found that it was Shi Zairen's eldest son, Shi Rutu, who had also been stripped of his clothes. The experienced corpse officer examined that the knife wound from the severed head was fatal, and the fire in the temple was supposed to destroy the evidence.

Subsequently, Wu Yuanzi added: "Shi's family is on the edge of the south gate, and Shi Zairen is a well-known good man in our county, and he initiated any righteous deed. And every other house should do good, and they obeyed his plan. Shi Rutu, like his father, is quite smart and capable. Among the students of the academy, he can be in the top five, and many things are his first ideas. Some of the students, although they were also competitive, were not enough to kill him so brutally. ”

Yuan Zhehao said: "He should have died at midnight yesterday. ”

After that, Wu Yuanzi led everyone to the Nanshan Yama Palace. After careful investigation, Wang Congrong found that things were basically as Wu Yuanzi said, but the pit was much deeper when it was buried. Seeing that Wang Congrong still didn't say a word, in desperation, Wu Yuanzi had no choice but to send everyone back to the city.

As soon as he entered the city from the south gate, Wang Congrong said, "Now you can go to the county government to have a look." At this time, Wu Yuanzi realized that along the way, Wang Congrong was not vain to deal with, but had his own ideas, at least to help him investigate this series of tragedies. Therefore, Wu Yuanzi raised his spirits, smiled and led everyone to the morgue of the county government. And Kang Chengsheng realized that the academy was unmanaged, so he left first.

After arriving at the morgue, Wu Yuanzi instructed several officials to lift the white cloth covering the deceased's face. The first one is An Xiqing, I saw that he not only has a lot of fat and oil, but also his body width is more than one and a half times that of a normal person. When Wang calmly looked closer, he also found that he had broken a front tooth.

Mu Yingchun said: "With such an obese body, no wonder it fell from the second floor?" ”

Wang calmly asked, "Did it fall?" ”

Mu Yingchun said: "Isn't it? ”

Wang calmly replied, "To be exact, it fell down." ”

Mu Yingchun asked, "Is there any difference between this?" ”

Wang Congrong said: "Of course there is a difference. If it falls, it is caused by An Xiqing's own carelessness; And if you fall, it may be the murderer. Mu Yingchun nodded, it can be regarded as a long insight. Wu Qidi thought to himself: It seems that this Mr. Wang still has some real skills.

The second deceased was Chang Zaixiao, and I saw his skin and flesh blooming, looking like he was covered with wounds. Wang calmly looked at the wounds, and found that some of the wounds had small pieces of bamboo pierced, and then looked at the bamboo cage placed aside, and the thorns inside were made of iron. Wang calmly forcibly took out an iron thorn and compared it with Chang Zaixiao's wound, and found that the thorn tip was much smaller than the wound.

Yuan Zhehao said: "The deceased has been soaking in the moat for a long time, and the wound has been cracked, and there is no way to compare. Wang calmly nodded, smiled slightly, and didn't say anything more.

The third deceased was Shi Rutu, whose body and head were still separated after the white cloth was lifted. Wang calmly told Mu Yingchun not to look at it, but to go outside to breathe. After Mu Yingchun left, Wang Congrong found that his head was black and ash, only to realize that Shi Rutu's body had not been cleaned up, so he approached to take a closer look, only to see that he had multiple knife wounds on his neck, but the broken part was scorched.

In a sigh, everyone came out of the morgue and came to the back hall of the county government with Mu Yingchun. After everyone sat down, Wang calmly got up, clasped his fists and saluted, and said: "I have seen the scene of the crime and the situation of the corpse, and now I need the help of Lord County, Lord Yuan and Teacher Wu to do something, I wonder if the three of you are willing?" ”

Seeing that the three of them should respond, Wang Congrong ordered the three of them like this. After listening to Wang Congrong's words, Wu Yuanzi immediately went to do it, but the coroner Yuan Zhehao was confused, but Wu Qidi respected Wang Congrong and admired him a little, thinking: Mr. Wang is much stronger than Wu County.

At this moment, a person ran from the main hall of the county government and shouted: "The big thing is not good, there is another disaster in the academy." When everyone looked back, it was Kang Chengsheng, the dean of Songshan Academy.

I don't know what the disaster Kang Chengsheng said was, I don't know what Wang calmly ordered the three of them, and I don't know who the murderer of the academy tragedy was. For more information, listen to the next episode of Book 2, Chapter 3 of Heroes of the Rocks.
