Chapter 5: A Seemingly Normal Death
"That, I have seen the young master and wife of the Xiao family, I used to go to the Dahua Hospital of the Xiao family to see a doctor, and they are all acquaintances, and the person who comes back to the Xiao family is naturally Miss Xiao. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Su San nodded: "It seems to make sense, so the fragrance of flowers in this private room is also the characteristic of your hot springs?" ”
Hearing the word flower fragrance, Xiao Qin frowned and asked, "What kind of flower fragrance, why didn't I smell it?" Is there anything else in this hot spring? ”
Boss Ma hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, we are a natural hot spring, we never add anything else, I didn't smell any flowers, this young lady didn't say yes, maybe it was brought by the woman who came with Master Xiao?" Women, don't they all like flowers and grass, spray perfume or something. ”
"I didn't smell it either, but Su San said that if there is, then there must be."
Director Lu didn't know why Luo Yin was so sure, so he said, "I want to hear about it." ”
"This Miss Su is a special mobile agent in our police department, and she is gifted with the ability to smell things that ordinary people can't. He has made great contributions to cracking many major cases. ”
Luo Yin glanced at Xiao Qin when he introduced, and the latter hurriedly followed: "Yes, we have worked together many times, and what Miss Su said every time is not the same as the test results of my instrument." ”
"Huh? It's amazing, it turns out that this young lady is still a strange person!"
Director Lu hurriedly clenched his fists.
"Mr. Director, I really smell the strange fragrance of flowers, now in the middle of winter, the chrysanthemums have been adjusted to zero, and I don't see the plum in this vicinity, I don't know where this floral fragrance comes from."
"In this case, it would be better for us to go in and investigate together."
Director Lu made a gesture of please.
It was too late for Luo Yin to stop him, Su San glanced at him with a smile, and followed Director Lu into the private room.
Just now we saw that this hot spring villa is the appearance of a Jiangnan garden, so this private room is also independent, dotted with rockeries and flowing water in the garden. In winter, the surrounding water is hazy and wet, and the air is humid and warm, like a fairyland.
The private room where Master Xiao died is called Tingyuxuan, which is antique, and Jiang Jie's poem is still engraved on the couplets outside: The young man listens to the rain song upstairs, and the red candle is dim. In the prime of life, listening to the rain in the passenger boat, the river is wide and the clouds are low, and the geese are calling the west wind. Now listening to the rain monk's house, the temples have stars. The joys and sorrows are always ruthless, and the pre-step drips until dawn.
There is a strange contrast between this sad and handsome, sparse and refreshing feeling and the fragrant death of the guests in the private room, which is embarrassing.
Luo Yin saw that Su San insisted on going in, so he could only follow up.
Xiao Qin really couldn't face his father's corpse, so he sat on the railing outside the house in a daze, watching the hot spring water gushing out of the rockery.
Mr. Ma stood aside, picked up the cane that Director Lu had put aside, and knocked on the wood of the corridor intentionally or unintentionally.
Luo Yin entered the private room, rushed to the stone-made pool first, and picked up the bath towel hanging next to him and wrapped it around Master Xiao's body. Director Lu watched his actions with great interest, shook his head and said, "Brother Luo, since Miss Su is a special agent, she has naturally seen this, so why bother, hehe." ”
Su San glared at Luo Yin, and said in his heart, Why do I have to go to see an elderly naked man? You're thinking about it enough.
Su San didn't look at the people in the pool, this was walking around the pool, walking very slowly, Luo Yin always stared at her movements, saw Su San standing, and hurriedly asked, "What did you find." ”
"The scent is not in this house, but in the pool. And the smell is getting weaker and weaker, this is because ......" Su San pointed to a stone pipe in the corner of the room and said, "Because the water in this pool is living water, and it will flow out automatically to a certain extent, and I don't know where this pipe leads?" ”
"You mean to say that the fragrance comes from the water in the pool, and the fragrance has faded as the water in the original pool is discharged."
"Yes, there is a problem with the water in this pool just now!"
Director Lu looked at Su San and then at Luo Yin: "Brother Luo, do you believe in this Miss Su's judgment?" ”
"Yes, I believe her."
"Okay, let's go ask Boss Ma."
Before Director Lu left, he walked to the edge of the pool, opened the wrapped bath towel and checked the dead Master Xiao.
Su San stood not far away, and he could see the upper body of Master Xiao.
The dead Master Xiao should be called Dr. Xiao accurately, he studied medicine in Japan in his early years, and it is said that he was still a classmate of some of the big names in the Japanese army that invaded China, which is also a major reason why Xiao's hospital was not occupied by the Japanese army later. Of course, this old gentleman cannot be called a traitor, because he did not do anything for the Japanese, but only relied on his old relationship to keep the hospital, and the hospital could still insist on helping poor patients during the Japanese puppet period, and he had a good reputation in Suzhou. After the recovery, there was a military commander who coveted the Xiao family's property and tried to beat the father and son of Mr. Xiao into traitors and occupy the hospital, but as a result, many people in Suzhou collectively wrote a petition and made a fuss, and even the wife was alarmed, and the phone called Tang Zong to reprimand him for a while, and Mr. Xiao had nothing to do.
Now this person has been dead for a while, but he is soaked in the hot spring water, and his face is ruddy, and he does not look like a dead man at all. Looking at his age, he should be in his 60s, with a square appearance, his eyes slightly closed, and a weird smile at the corner of his mouth.
From Su San's point of view, this smile was a bit mocking.
"What is he laughing at?" Su San blurted out.
Well? Director Lu and Luo Yin turned around in unison, Director Lu wanted to laugh but couldn't, he couldn't laugh, he just coughed a few times, and looked at Luo Yin with a strange look.
"Hehe, this kind of thing, men's business, it's normal to laugh, hey." Luo Yin could only explain it like this.
Su San instantly understood, her face turned red, and she was extremely embarrassed, she glared at Luo Yin angrily and lowered her head.
Luo Yin shrugged helplessly: What does this have to do with me? You're angry, angry.
"Brother Lu, what do you think?"
"Well, there are no scars visible from the outside of the body, the fundus of the eyes is seriously congested, and the complexion is ruddy, well, of course, it may be the reason for the persistence in the water, the lower body, uh, there are some problems with the lower body...... It is very consistent with the symptoms of immediate stroke. ”
Director Lu finished speaking in embarrassment and patted Luo Yin on the shoulder: "Brother, what is the relationship between you and the Xiao family?" Then Miss Xiao seems to have a lot of friendship with you, you give my brother a thorough understanding of what to do with this case. ”
"Brother Lu, Mr. Xiao was the attending doctor of my mother's back then, although in the end my mother's medicine stone died ineffectively, but Mr. Xiao did fulfill his responsibilities as a doctor, and our two families are also friends in the world, Dr. Xiao is a part-time forensic doctor in our police station, and he is also a good doctor who is conscientious, I only hope that Brother Lu can handle this case impartially and without having to take care of all kinds of face."
Luo Yin replied very seriously. Director Lu was overjoyed: "Okay, I'm relieved to have your words." I think you also know that at the meeting in October this year, the receiving officer made a lot of trouble with us, and he wanted to seize the Xiao family's property, and the matter went to Mrs. Now that Master Xiao is dying like this, I have to give an explanation not only to the Xiao family, but also to the ordinary people of Suzhou City. ”
He leaned over and put his ear against Luo Yin and said: "I'm afraid that someone will make trouble, saying that the receiving officer is not satisfied, and the beauty bureau will kill Master Xiao, you also know that those people in the military command can do anything if they dare to do anything, and they are bold and scary, so I'm worried about this." ”
Su San listened silently on the side, muttering in his heart: I can't imagine that Master Xiao still has these backgrounds, and his death doesn't seem to be simple. (To be continued.) )
