Chapter 1005: Murder

Kuai Liang saw Liu Jiang asking, and Guo Jia and the others were also very interested, so he didn't plan to hide it, and first talked to these people about the troubles he was currently encountering.

"Here's the thing, this morning, in this inner city, someone came to report the case, saying that there was a murder in his house."

Kuai Liang quickly explained to Guo Jia and the others.

It turned out that a wealthy family surnamed Wang in this city had a murder last night.

Wang Lai, the head of the family, was found and stabbed to death in his living room.

The cause of death was very strange, so it attracted the attention of officers and soldiers like Jing Zhaoyin.

Guo Jia, who was on the side, heard Kuai Liang say that there was a murder, but he immediately became excited.

Soon rushed to Kuai Liang to ask for specific details.

"Brother Zirou, can you tell me about the specific details? Who was the man, when did he die, and what was the cause of death? What are your assumptions? ”

Since Guo Jia came to solve the case with these children, he naturally had to give them more details, and then let these students judge for themselves.

Kuai Liang heard Guo Jia's inquiry, but he didn't hide all the information he currently has.

This Wang Lai is a native of Wu County, and his ancestors are also minor officials in the county, so he left a relatively solid family background, which is a rich and noble family.

Later, after Liu Zheng established the capital in Jianye, because Wang Lai was a local, there was a small piece of land in the local area, and the tide rose, and he made a fortune together, and his family became more and more rich.

Wang Lai, who is over 50 years old this year, usually has nothing to do, just living on land rent.

Wang Lai originally had an ex-wife, but she died young, leaving behind a son.

Last year, because Wang Lai had some money, he had another stepwife, who was the daughter of the city and countryside in the next county, and she was eighteen years old.

Wang Lai originally planned to work harder to see if he could have a son in his old age, inherit the business, and strengthen the family's incense.

But a year has passed, and there has been no movement, until last month, his newly married wife's belly finally moved and she became pregnant.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and this Wang Lai says that he is going to be a father again.

But the good thing didn't last long, the doll was not born yet, and Wang Lai died first.

Recently, during the autumn harvest, Wang Lai's family rented all their fields to some farmers. It's been the time to collect rent.

The night before, Wang Lai took back the land rent from the farmers outside the city and exchanged it for silver tickets from the money bank.

However, he died tragically at home the next day.

It was the son of Wang Lai who came to report the crime.

The general course of the matter came out of Kuailiang's mouth.

At the same time, it also made the country and others understand the whole thing.

After those children heard Kuai Liang's words, they frowned one by one and began to think about what was going on in this case.

Guo Jia did not continue to ask Kuai Liang, but took two steps back from Kuai Liang's side, turned his head, and looked at the more than 20 children who followed behind him.

"Students, I brought you here today, in fact, I want to test you to test whether these things we usually learn have any effect, it just so happens that this Jingzhao Yin Mansion has encountered a difficult case, you also heard such a case just now, based on the current information alone, why did you deduce why Wang Lai died?"

Guo Jia asked the students present.

As a prince, Liu Jiang was not the first to speak.

The first to speak was Zhou Li next to him.

"Mrs. Guo, what's so difficult about this, Wang Lai's death must be related to the land rent he collected."

Zhou Li immediately said.

There were a few other people around who chimed in.

Guo Jia glanced at Zhou Li and smiled faintly.

"Zhou boy, why do you say that?"

Guo Jia did not judge whether what Zhou Li said was right or wrong, but asked him why he looked at it this way.

When Zhou Li heard Guo Jia's inquiry, he didn't panic, and said what he thought in his heart.

"Mrs. Guo, isn't this simple, Wang Lai didn't die sooner or later, but he died after collecting the rent, and he needs to investigate the rent he recovered the day before yesterday, and he will know that he died of robbery."

Zhou Li is not very old, but he already understands some things, and he quickly changed what he thought in his heart and said it, and got the nods and consent of several other classmates around him.

Guo Jia also nodded after listening.

"Well, boy Zhou, you're right, we just need to investigate where those rents go, but is it really that easy?"

Guo Jia smiled faintly and then asked Kuai Liang.

"Brother Zirou, I guess you should have also investigated the whereabouts of those rents."

Kuai Liang saw Guo Jia asking, but he also followed Guo Jia's words and began to explain to Guo Jia.

"Well, Fengxiao, it is true that as you said, we have sent someone to investigate this morning, and the rent that Wang Lai recovered the day before yesterday is gone, and we have found some footprints in the courtyard, which seem to be assassins who entered through the wall outside the courtyard."

"It's basically locked, this is a robbery case, and now the difficult part is that I don't know who the murderer is, the thief who killed and robbed the money hasn't been found yet, and there are no clues, I'm about to go to Wang Lai's house to find clues."

Guo Jia saw Kuailiang's sad face and knew that this case really wanted to be handled, but it was not easy.

"Ha, okay, it just so happens that we're fine, so let's go with you."

The process and nature of the case are clear, but it is not so easy to catch the murderer in this case.

After all, it is a murder case, human life is at stake, and it happened in this Jianye capital, if Kuai Liang, Jing Zhaoyin, can't solve it, this case will eventually fall into the hands of Jinyiwei.

Kuai Liang was reluctant to let such a good meritorious opportunity slip out of his hands.

"Okay, since you are interested in this case, let's go and take a look together."

Kuai Liang said that, and took Guo Jia and his party to the Wang family's compound in the inner city.

The courtyard of the Wang family is located in the west of the inner city of Jianye City.

Most of the people living here were wealthy families, and some of the petty officials who served in the imperial court.

Because the location of the palace is not far and not close, it belongs to the middle class.

If it is next to the imperial palace, then this location is excellent, and it is generally occupied by various officials of the imperial court, who build various mansions.

The courtyard of the Wang family is a boxy house, with a wall attached to it outside, and a small courtyard inside the door, which is the front hall.

Through the vestibule. It is the main courtyard, which is the residence of the head of the family, Wang Lai.

After this main courtyard, there are two side courtyards, one is where the two maids of the Wang family live, and the other is the residence of Wang Lai's son Wang Dai.
