Chapter 309: Longzhou County Case IV
"Seventeen?" Song Qing dared to guarantee that the murderer may be among these seventeen, he may be an accomplice, or he may be the real murderer, but he must not be this fat man, after all, he should not do such a thing as murder himself.
"Shopkeeper, Song wants to figure out this matter, in fact, it is not difficult, now the main question is, can you cooperate with Song, pretend to recruit the three of us, as for coming in, you can arrange some miscellaneous work for us."
"It's an adult, and the little one will do it immediately.
"Well, you'd better let me take a look at this guillotine, Song wants to compare what the difference is, it stands to reason that you can see the problem at a glance when you deal with each other every day.
"Class master, since that's the case, then you can take me and wait to have a look.
Opening the door, everyone walked out, and soon came to a utility room, which was full of everything needed for singing, and it was full of a lot.
"My lord, this is the guillotine, we haven't moved it since the accident so far, and I don't know if the yamen will send someone to take it away, my lord, if this matter can't be solved, our troupe will be finished."
Song Qing squatted down to check, the blade was very sharp, not to mention that it killed someone, even a stone is estimated to be easily broken, very powerful.
Naturally, this thing can easily kill a person, but who did it? When Song Qing carefully examined this blade, he found that since it could still be disassembled, it meant that there was no need to make a new one, as long as a blade was prepared.
"Class master, now I want to know, who is managing this thing in your daily life? And who can come in this utility room?"
“.... Back to my lord, there is no management here, and at the same time, we are all partners in the theater class, so naturally anyone can come in, and there is no saying that we want to deliberately prevent anyone. ”
Can anyone come in? Then this shows where the problem lies, it seems to be a bit serious, and things are not easy to do.
This guillotine is more complicated, Song Qing believes that it should not be difficult to find the murderer, so he planned to disassemble the blade, and suddenly found that he couldn't, and he couldn't find a way, and at this moment, he also had a little appreciation for the creator of this thing.
When the class owner saw it, he also squatted down and prepared to try, but suddenly found that he couldn't succeed, he had been running a drama class for many years, and he actually couldn't.
"Class master, why don't we go out, and then you let the people from the drama troupe take turns to come to the utility room one by one, Song wants to know, there shouldn't be many people who know this.
The class master sighed, and then left alone, and the remaining Song Qing and the three of them were still looking at this guillotine, it was very sharp, and the blood on it had been wiped clean. "My lord, you say, is this incident the work of this class master? You must know that his family is the only one here, and the deceased in this case may not obey his orders, or may pose a threat to his status.
Song Qing didn't know this problem, and he wanted to figure it out thoroughly, but what he lacked now was time.
"Miss Yueyue, after the people come in, can you and the deputy general of the court help Song pay attention to their faces?"
"Good lord, we know.
Soon, under the leadership of the class leader, a young man in his early thirties walked over, and his face was still very ugly because of the murder last night.
"Zhou Da, these three people are handymen who just joined the troupe today, you help them dismantle this guillotine, and I still have something to go to."
Saying that the class leader left, Zhou Da looked at Song Qing, "You are new here?" In my opinion, let's leave quickly, our troupe, it's been very evil recently, and I don't know if I offended the god.
Song Qing looked at him, "Offending the gods? In fact, I still don't believe in God or evil, I only believe in myself, I said, are you because of the accident last night, so you think there are gods to blame?"
He sighed, "Young man, you better go, maybe you will be the next to die."
Without waiting for Song Qing to ask, he used tools, and then dismantled the guillotine in a few clicks!
Song Qing took the blade and looked at it, it was very heavy, but if it was with the guillotine, it couldn't feel it.
Zhou Dadao: "Young man, the conditions here are not very good, it is estimated that you can only give you one or two silver a month, in my opinion, you should go to other opera troupes, not to mention the salary, and even your life is not in danger."
Song Qing didn't know how to answer, the other party had already walked out, and the class master happened to come over at this moment.
"My lord, how is it now? Are you already feeling something?"
Song Qing handed over the blade, "Class master, take a look for yourself, this is the murderer of your troupe, this thing must have been carefully crafted, and ordinary people can't get it."
He was shocked, this was made of pig iron, and it must be tempered thousands of times to reach this sharpness.
"My lord, what do you mean?"
Song Qing sold a pass and continued: "Class master, don't worry about it for now, Song tells you now, you continue to call the next person over, and then ask him to load this up." He didn't dare to ask more, and then he had already run out at that time, and soon another singer came, a woman, about twenty-five or six.
When she saw Song Qingshi, she said: "Little brother, in fact, the three of you shouldn't join in, our troupe was killed yesterday, and no one knows who the murderer is."
Tang Yueyue said: "Sister, can you stop talking about scaring people to death, why don't you teach us how to put this blade on, if the class master comes, it's time to criticize us."
Loading blades? Seeing that this thing had been hacked to death, the woman was a little afraid to do so, and her body kept falling backwards.
"You guys.... You guys, this thing killed people, why do you even put it on? Again... What's the use of putting it on?"
"This, it's natural to cut things when you put it on," Song Qing looked innocent. When this person saw it, he didn't say anything, and it was done in a few clicks.
"Little brother, you better leave, this troupe, I don't want to stay anymore, it's too dangerous, let's leave early."
She sighed, then stopped staying here and quickly turned away.
An hour later, each of these people was called by the class master once, either to disassemble the blade or to install the blade, but one of them did not return anything, I don't know if he really didn't know, or deliberately pretended to be like this.
Song Qing and the three walked out, and the class leader walked over.
"My lord, I called everyone once, my lord, I don't know if you found any evidence?"
Song Qing paused, he already had a little suspicion about the last person who appeared, but there was no evidence at the moment, so it could not be exposed.
"Class master, Song told you, you brought the last person to Song Mou's attention, but you can't startle the snake, this case Song Mou has taken a little turnaround, at present, I have to go to other places to see.
"If you know the adult, the small one will do it.
"By the way, what about the corpse of the deceased? Where did you put it?"
"It's... After all, people can't be left alone when they die, but I don't want to leave it all the time, but I don't think I'll be able to bury the body, and besides, this person died so miserably, his head was cut off, and if he stayed in the store all the time, it would be uncomfortable to watch. ”
Song Qing nodded, and then the class master shook his hand and left, and several of them looked inside the house, preparing to ask the blacksmith shop one by one outside.
Walking out of the troupe, Tang Yueyue said: "My lord, I think this person who can't disassemble the blade is very suspicious, and no one else is hiding it, but he is covering it up, don't you say?"
"But, this person is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, he doesn't even know if he cheats himself, if he doesn't deliberately pretend, he won't show his feet.
Song Qing also has this meaning, but it is not 100% certain at the moment, and it is not difficult to find absolute evidence.
"Miss Yueyue, Deputy General, let's go, let's look for the blacksmith shop along the way, I have to ask about the origin of this thing."
"As long as you know who built it, it's easy.
After walking vertically forward for a while, they soon came to the outside of a blacksmith shop, and the next moment Song Qing and the three of them strode in.
The shopkeeper is a tiger-shaped sweater, about forty, with muscles all over his body, and at first glance, he has been engaged in manual labor for a long time.
He laughed and said, "A few guest officers, what do you need?" In this small shop, you can make all kinds of weapons, as well as household kitchen knives and iron pots, etc., what are the needs of the guest officer?"
Song Qing handed over the blade, and then said: "The shopkeeper take a look at my thing, I don't know how much it costs to build one: or, do you have the strength to build one?"
This..."He looked at it, a little difficult at the moment, "Objective, you will embarrass me, this thing needs to be carved and polished, it is very troublesome, this is not a day or two of effort."
"Besides, what does the guest officer want this kind of item? It's very thankless, and it takes at least a few taels of silver to build one. ”
"How many taels?" With the income of these people in the theater troupe, it seems that there is no difficulty in creating one.
Besides, as long as a person decides who he wants to kill, he will not think about the consequences. "Shopkeeper, then I would like to ask, has anyone in your shop come to make this kind of thing recently? Just in recent times. ”
The shopkeeper was very sure, "No, absolutely not, this thing is not an ordinary thing, if someone comes to build it, I must have an impression." ”
"But a few guest officers, are you sure you want to build it? If you are interested in increasing the price, the small one is guaranteed to get you a few identical items within three days.
Song Qing nodded and said, "It's still not necessary, how is this blacksmith shop in Longzhou City?" The truth is not to hide that he is a criminal officer, mainly to solve the case. ”
Judge? The shopkeeper still didn't believe that the criminal officer had come to such a place? Is it because of yesterday's case?
