Chapter V: The Qingzhou Murder Case
As soon as the sky dawned, the crisp cry, like the sound of a warbler, the birds would call at four o'clock in the morning, that is to say, this hour was the end of the day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Plagued by nightmares all night, the night withered grass, who slept restlessly, got up early and sneaked into the study curiously. It's a pity that someone took the lead, Xiaotian was dressed in an ink-colored plum branch water-patterned robe, covered with a layer of white veil, a silver crown with tied hair, and a bat-patterned red jade around his waist, slender and powerful, with well-defined hands constantly flipping through books, as if looking for some answer.
Night Dry Grass just wanted to get closer and peek at the book in Xiao Tian's hand, when he suddenly met his eyes, his face was covered with a layer of red, and he lowered his head shyly.
Xiao Tian spit out coldly: "It's a waste of talent for you not to be a spy, accompany me to the yamen." ”
"You want to report to the police?"
Hahaha...... Night Withered Grass couldn't help laughing and sneered: "A thief said that he was going to the yamen and turned himself in? ”
Xiao Tianshen frowned, with a displeased expression, he directly covered the mouth of the night withered grass with his hand, and forcibly dragged it away, not forgetting to warn on the way: "I'm going to find something, I lack a new face, you'd better be honest and don't talk nonsense, otherwise your secret will be known to all the people in Qingzhou." ”
You! Night Withered Grass was angry, stomped his feet twice, glanced at Xiaotian who was walking in front, silently followed behind him, scolded behind his back, and waved his fists to beat him. I can't help but think of the abandoned pond that day, this body didn't know what happened, and was inexplicably chased and killed by the man in black, and even he doubted whether his chastity was still there.
The semicircular entrance and exit under the city wall of Qingzhou, time has destroyed its vicissitudes, but it is still standing majestically, looking up empty, lacking a few guards standing guard, this defensive measure is too casual, just in the middle of the position, faintly making people feel uncomfortable.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a thin, swollen figure on the city wall fell, and with a loud bang, all the people who passed by the city gate froze in place, bewildered, and then a woman's scream came: "Someone has committed suicide." ”
Xiao Tian was amazed! The mouth was wide open, his eyes were staring at the location of the falling city, and with an incredible look, he rushed over when he heard the sound.
There was a look of surprise in the clear eyes of the night withered grass, and the hands that were as white as jade trembled slightly, and his heart was pounding, and he stayed for a while, and then followed to see the situation.
The scene was crowded, with all kinds of discussions, sympathies, and surprises.
The man's body and face were facing the ground, wearing a goose-yellow maid's suit, two half-rolled braids on his head, a pair of light pink shoes covered with mud, blood flowing out of his head like a waterfall, his clothes were disheveled, and there were two fine marks on his ankles, as if they had been cut by a sharp blade, deep into the bones, and he died a slightly miserable death.
Passers-by pointed at the deceased and discussed: "You see that she is disheveled, she must have committed suicide after being insulted and unable to think about it." ”
Night Dry Grass looked at the deceased, the fallen city was a woman, the maid's suit can only prove that she may be a maid in a house, her clothes are messy, there are many wounds on her body and her cruelty, the murderer is a super perverted person.
It was strange that there was not even a single person standing guard on the city walls, as if it had been arranged in advance, and the woman instinctively told herself that it was a deliberate murder.
Night withered grass summed up the words in her heart, and said to Xiaotian in a chiseled manner: "She doesn't seem to have committed suicide, you look at those few wounds, you can tell at a glance that someone killed them and threw them under the city wall of Qingzhou, how can there not even be a guard on the top of the city gate, don't you think it's strange?" ”
Xiaotian squatted on the ground, turned the body over, a face full of knife scars caused by swelling of the face, but the blood stains on it had dried up for a long time, looked at the ankles of the two eyes, and then used the index finger and middle finger to test the veins of the deceased, stood up leisurely, and said bluntly to the night withered grass: "The deceased had signs of being abused before his death, the blood stains on his face were left a week ago, and the injury on his ankle was the main reason for the death of excessive blood loss, the murderer preferred to torture her slowly and died, the body obviously had traces of treatment, and then we saw the scene of falling into the city, It's trying to create the illusion of suicide. ”
Passers-by saw a group of people coming from Qingzhou, and they dispersed one after another, and the corpses were carried away without saying a word.
He was about to step forward to grab their night withered grass but was persuaded by Xiao Tian, and kindly reminded: "This matter seems not simple, the official may have been bribed, if you go up at this time, maybe you will be charged with a murderer." ”
Nightdry Grass protest speech: "How do you know? That's a human life! How can there be a scene to investigate, check the masses, conduct an autopsy or something, and just hastily close the case as a suicide? ”
Xiao Tian ignored what Night Withered Grass said, and went straight to the point: "You go to the front list to see which wanted criminals have special criminal records." ”
Night withered grass swallowed the words of rebuttal in his mouth, and thought about it for a while, how could he have the ability to avenge the dead now, and lowered his head in frustration, his life was not guaranteed. Help him see a lot of meat, which can be regarded as repaying him for saving his life, and by the way, look at the notice of whether there are missing persons.
Pinched his toes and looked at the notice, his eyes scanned underneath, except for wanted criminals, wanted, thieves who stole chickens and dogs...... And also...... So what......
Xiao Tian waited impatiently, and squeezed directly into the crowd to lift the whole person out of the night withered grass, and that kind of picture was like catching a brute.
Nightdry grass blushed and kicked a few times with her feet in the air, and roared, "Let me go." ”
"You've been watching for so long, what big cases have you seen?" Xiaotian put down the night withered grass and stared at it amusedly.
Night Dry Grass angrily crossed her hands on her hips and said excitedly: "The cow was stolen, is it a big case?" ”
Xiao Tian said speechlessly, "What do you think? Big cases are unheard of, understand? "There was already some impatience on his face.
Night withered grass deliberately raised her throat, and said in front of everyone's eyes: "The belly pocket of the girl in the incense shop has been stolen, is it unheard of?" ”
Tut-tut...... Everyone sighed, and their eyes were full of murder when they looked at the night withered grass, as if they had said something wrong. Xiao Tian had a self-aware left hand to block his face, and his right foot took a step back, ready to flee.
Nightdry grass thought that it had succeeded in its trick, but it was smashed into the head by an egg, and with a snap, the shell shattered, and the yellow liquid on its head slid down to its shoulder, making a scream of collapse.
Several aunts led the vegetable baskets, kept taking out things in their hands and smashed them on the night withered grass, and reprimanded: "If you don't learn well at a young age, you steal that kind of thing from the incense shop, and you want to loudly proclaim that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and whoever says is a thief." ”
The night withered grass ran away in annoyance, thinking that these aunts are really not good at IQ, why are they so unlucky, dirty, and sour and sour.
Seeing Xiao Tian hiding in a noodle restaurant and smiling on the table, the night withered grass was so angry that he couldn't get rid of the hatred in his heart, he must know something, so he strode to the noodle restaurant angrily and smeared the egg yolk liquid on his shoulder.
"Stay away from me." Xiaotian roared, pushed away the night withered grass in disgust, pinched his nose and said, "It stinks!" Didn't you say you were going back today? Still lazy here. ”
The owner of the noodle shop called the five big and three coarse servants in the store, pointed to the night withered grass and said, "He is the one who came to me to make trouble." ”
The little servant raised his stick and struck it on the back of the unsuspecting Night Withered.
"Hey, hey! My back. The night withered grass screamed, his eyes turned black, and his body fell vulnerable.
Xiao Tian got up and caught the second stick of the little guy, shook off the wooden stick, picked up the beaten night dry grass and withdrew from the noodle shop.
As soon as Jingshan returned to the mansion after finishing his errands, he found Xiaotian with a strange look and asked, "What happened?" He's hurt? ”
Xiaotian hurriedly stepped into the wing, put down the night withered grass and went out again, and explained solemnly: "I'll go to the doctor, Jingshan, you stay and watch, don't touch her." ”
Don't touch him? Jing Shan wondered what this meant, and began to think crankily again, could it be that Xiaotian likes such a little white face with thin skin and tender meat!
No way! I have to check it first, to see if this body can be controlled, the evil picture of Jingshan flashed, sneakily pushed open the door, came to the foot of the night grass, frowned slightly, at a glance saw that the owner of this pair of shoes, the master was reluctant to wear it, this is good to be worn on the feet by the little white face, mercilessly pulled off the shoes on the feet, revealing the white gauze, there are residual blood stains on it, uncover the gauze, but what you see is a shocking scar, as if you were injured by some sharp weapon, how much hatred this is!
Jingshan reluctantly brought gauze, re-bandaged the medicine, put the shoes on the night withered grass, the eyebrows are clear, there are still a lot of enemies, let the master check for you whether your chest muscles are strong, wave his hand on the chest of the unconscious person, then it seems that he has done something wrong, why are these chest muscles soft, not strong at all, how to serve Xiaotian, too motherly...... Leaving the room without noticing anything unusual.
From afar, I saw Xiaotian invite a female doctor, she was elegant and vulgar, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, a light and spiritual air, her skin was delicate, her demeanor was leisurely, and she had an elegant and elegant temperament when she was looking forward to it.
Jingshan touched his chin and looked at the woman in front of him who looked quite marked, but unfortunately it didn't suit my appetite, it was really strange, how convenient it was to find a male doctor! stepped forward to ask Xiaotian, but was ignored.
Xiaotian led the female doctor into the room, closed the door a moment later, and waited quietly outside the door.
The female doctor put down the medicine box in her hand, first checked the pulse, and noticed that the veins were damaged and her breath was dying, which was by no means caused by ordinary wooden sticks. Took out the secret medicine sauce, brown mud, and fed it into the mouth of the night withered grass, looking at the person in front of him becoming more and more familiar, he shook his head, how could she appear here.
The night withered grass felt like eating in her mouth, sticky and thick slid into the stomach, a nausea came up, she opened her mouth to vomit, and the female doctor covered her mouth, moved away, and spit out black liquid on the brocade quilt, and the whole person was sober.
The black liquid on the brocade quilt was moving, and the night withered grass saw the brocade quilt covered by the unknown species squirming around on its body, threw away the quilt in a panic, pushed the female doctor sitting aside, climbed out of bed, and said with a haggard face: "What is this?" ”
Hearing the noise, Xiaotian pushed the door and entered. Jingshan saw the black liquid moving on the bed, and said with green tendons: "Dry! Grass! What did you do? ”
The female doctor looked calm, took out a silk scarf, wrapped the lump of black liquid, stuffed it into the black wooden box that had been prepared for a long time, elegantly arranged the skirt, and said in a delicate voice: "This young man must have been hit by a vampire Gu." ”
Jing Shan said in surprise: "You said that black thing is Gu poison? Curious, I approached the box to find out.
The female doctor looked at the night withered grass with a confused expression, and sighed: "I have only seen this kind of Gu poison once at my senior sister's place, and the wound of any size can slip in, sucking human blood, growing continuously, and finally sucking dry blood and dying; There is another special effect to take it out in time, refining it with a hundred flavor medicines, it can cure a hundred poisons, senior sister can treasure her Gu, she will not be released easily, and the senior sister has already gone into hiding, it is really puzzling, wait for me to find her, ask the ins and outs. ”
"Your senior sister is the last water of the rice industry? Then you are Dao has not yet known? Xiao Tian replied in a firm tone.
Dao Weiming was surprised at first, but immediately calmed down again, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, have you seen my senior sister?" ”
Xiao Tian walked to the window, greeted the dusk, recalled the past, and couldn't help but sigh: "A long time ago, I passed by Long Spoon City and met your senior sister in the ancient village of Beizhen, when she was developing a Gu to solve the epidemic, so I believe that she will not do anything that hurts the heavens and reason." If you have nothing to do, can you stay in the mansion these days, and then set off with you to find your senior sister in a few days? ”
Dao Wei glanced at the night withered grass meaningfully, and proposed, "It's okay, take this young man from the Gu with you!" After all, this matter is more or less related. ”
Nightdry grass and Jingshan couldn't interject at all, and sat on the side in a daze, playing with the ceramic teacup on the table.
Xiaotian said loudly to the ears of the night withered grass: "I am going to Yizhuang tonight, and the withered grass will go with me to rob the corpse, and Jingshan will stay in the house to answer it." Remove the ceramic teacup from her hand.
Jing Shan glared at the two people in front of him, and said with interest: "Go ahead, Dao and I are waiting for you to come back." Xiang Xiaotian winked, turned his head and said to Dao Weiming: "Okay, you can stay in this wing of the withered grass for the time being, and ignore them." ”
The night withered grass and the strong smell of gunpowder in the roaring sky, the two of them went out of the wing room together and went to the wing where Jingshan lived.
"I can promise you to steal the corpse, but only if I am involved." Nightdry grass bargains about conditions.
Xiao Tian said happily: "That's it." Flipping through the two sets of night clothes on the cabinet, he threw them to the dumbfounded night withered grass: "You change first, I'll wait for you outside." "Close the door.
The night withered grass slowly changed into night clothes, pushed open the door, reached out and patted Xiaotian on the shoulder, and said solemnly, "Give me a knife." "The petite body seems to be unable to resist the wind.
"We're going to rob corpses, and you bring knives to cut corpses? Wait for me outside the door. Xiao Tian closed the door expressionlessly, but his mind was snickering, he was hopelessly stupid.
The night withered grass sat on the stone steps with a heavy heart, looking up at the sky, is it true that his parents in the other world are also missing him, and he really can't go back?
