Chapter 9: Wei Mansion
"Have you eaten enough?"
"Uh-huh, I'm full."
The little guy stood beside Hu Xiu respectfully, swallowed the rice in his mouth, his bowl of rice, he ate for a long time, and he was reluctant to swallow a mouthful of rice for a long time, Hu Xiu had eaten four bowls of rice, and he only ate a small half of this bowl of rice.
"How's this meal going? Delicious to eat? ”
"Mmmm, it's delicious, the white rice is especially delicious."
The little guy smirked, his palm clutching the bowl tightly.
"This meal is delicious, isn't this dish delicious?"
"No, no, no, of course the food is delicious."
"Why don't I see you picking up vegetables?"
"I have to leave it to your ...... childe"
Looking at Xiao Fan's submissive appearance, when he had just eaten, he didn't necessarily have a dish, and he held the bowl of rice and gnawed it for a long time, and he didn't see it less.
"I don't lack your mouthful, I can't finish eating the rest, you eat, eat quickly, Childe has something."
"Uh-huh, okay, Childe."
The big eyes of the little guy squinted, and he was so happy to eat leftovers.
"Then, I can't finish eating, can I take it back and eat it?"
"No, you can't!"
This dish was almost eaten by Hu Xiu, how could this little guy not finish it.
"Oh."
The little guy didn't dare to refute, and aggrievedly poured all the leftovers into the bowl, not even letting go of the soup.

"Yes, the food is very clean."
This is not only clean, the four plates in front of me are clean as if they have been washed with detergent, and they are white and reflective.
"Let's go, do you know how to get to the Wei Mansion?"
"Wei Mansion? Which Wei Mansion? ”
"The Wei Mansion of the Wei family who almost succeeded in picking flowers for sixteen flowers."
This string of words almost wrapped Hu Xiu himself in.
"Oh, I know this, but shouldn't I go to Grandpa Tang's house to find out the cause of Grandpa Tang's death?"
The little guy asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, you still don't believe me."
"Believe!"
Xiao Fan Xiaoxiao, with a proud face.
To the east, near Qinglong Street
"This Wei Mansion is also in the south? This high mansion is too, so close. ”
"Childe, most of the places in the east are where dignitaries live, so it's not surprising that they live close."
"That's how it is."
The little guy took Hu Xiu, went around in a circle, and stopped in front of a mansion.
"Here we are, Childe."
"This is the Wei Mansion?"
"That's right, if Gongzi didn't tell me wrong, then it's this Wei Mansion."
Isn't this Wei Mansion a little too "low-key", well... It's a compliment to say that it's low-key, how can this Lord Wei say that he is also an official of the third grade, isn't this place a little asymmetrical.
The portal is not big, even a little small, just a small door, and the plaque on the door reads the words [Wei Fu].
Not to mention that the words on the plaque must be engraved with bronzing, but the two words of Wei Mansion are only handwritten at first glance, and Hu Xiu is even a little suspicious that these two words were written by Lord Wei himself.
"Xiao Fan, follow me, let's go in."
Hu Xiu greeted and walked in.
The gate of this Wei Mansion is open, and there is not even a gatekeeper......
Walking inside, I met three officials, who seemed to know Hu Xiu and hurriedly saluted.
"Master Hu, you're finally here."
One of the three walked out, a sturdy middle-aged man.
"You are?"
"Oh~ I forgot to say, I'm a head catcher in the yamen, surnamed Qian, and the adults can just shout at will."
"Qian Zhutou, I'm here to investigate Lord Wei's case."
"I know that Lord Hu has instructed me to help adults investigate the case together."
Tsk, his father, why don't you worry about him, and call someone to come over and help him solve the case.
"Then, Qian Zhutou, can you take me to see the scene of the crime?"
"At the scene of this crime, everything that should be investigated by the yamen has been investigated, if you want to know something, ask me."
"Take me to see it."
"Your Excellency, ...... you"
Qian Zhutou frowned.
"It's not that I'm not worried about your yamen's ability to investigate the case, I'm here halfway, it's better to take a look at the scene."
"Oh, so that's the case, but I'm afraid that the adults will be disappointed, Lord Wei's body has been cleaned up, and the study has also been cleaned up."
"It's okay, I just have some questions I want to ask, Mrs. Wei, you can help me tell me."
~
Wei Mansion, in the study
A corpse was lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth, and several people stood around the corpse.
"Mrs. Wei, may I ask you some questions?"
"Official, just ask, I know everything."
"When did you find Lord Wei's body?"
"Yesterday morning, when I went to call the master to eat morning food, knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response inside, I gently pushed, but the door opened, I saw lying in front of the desk, there was a large pool of blood on the ground, and then I was bold, and went forward to try the master's nose... Results ......"
After that, Mrs. Wei's mood swings were a little big, and her eyes, which were originally red from crying, shed tears again.
"But there's gone?"
"Hmm."
Mrs. Wei took a deep breath and slowed down.
"After that, I reported to the official, and the official asked me who the last person I saw the master was, and I said it was Chen Li, and it turned out that I really found a bloodstained dress in the post house room in his residence."
"Lift the white cloth."
Qian Zhutou stepped forward and lifted the white cloth.
The deceased's face was white, it should have been bleeding excessively, there was a wound on his chest, Hu Xiu looked carefully elsewhere, there were no strangulation marks on his neck, and there were no other wounds on his face.
"Have you changed your clothes?"
"Not really."
That is a one-hit kill, the fatal wound is the chest, and looking at the deceased's neat clothes, either the murderer is very familiar with the deceased, or the martial arts are strong and fast, so that the deceased has no time to react.
"This wound seems to be something special."
The wound on his chest was triangular and hole-shaped, which reminded Hu Xiu of the three-edged military thorn in his previous life.
"It should be a special knife, poking it on a person's body will make people bleed more than once, this Lord Wei has shed so much blood like this, this murderer should be a veteran, piercing the heart, this time it will make people die."
"Qian Zhutou, do you have gloves?"
"Gloves? What are gloves? ”
Forget it, there should be no invention of gloves in this world, and Hu Xiu was still lucky.
It's really disgusting to touch a corpse without gloves......
The muscles are a little loose, the limbs are soft, the pupils are dilated, the eyes are slightly open, the skin loses its elasticity, and it must have been dead for a while.
The corpse had already appeared in the mortis, and now the mortis began to ease, and the time was calculated, and it was noon, (between eleven o'clock in the morning and one o'clock in the afternoon), and the deceased was found in the hour, twenty-four hours had passed.
(Under normal circumstances, mortis will begin to appear within 1~3 hours after death, and after 4~6 hours, zombie will spread to the whole body.) It takes 12~24 hours to develop to its peak, 24~48 hours to open remission, and it takes 3~7 days to complete remission. )
"Mrs. Wei, who was the last person you saw?"
"Except for Chen Li, there is only the little girl in the family, because there is a guest, I will ask her to deliver tea."
Little? That Miss Wei who was almost lightened by the sixteenth flower?
Of course, Hu Xiu didn't dare to say this, and it was easy to be beaten if he said it.
"What's going on there?"
"The little girl told me that my lord had a quarrel with Chen Li, let's stop bothering."
"Quarrelsome? Is this Lord Wei and Chen Li not on good terms? ”
"Then this has to talk about my lord when he was young, and at that time, my lord and this Chen Li were both talented people in the famous Ping'an City. The first time they met, they didn't like each other, all kinds of literary fights, and they were entangled for more than half a year. In the end, it was the old man who was better and won this Chen Li. This Chen Li didn't have the face to stay in Hu Country and ran to Yu Country, our master must have been killed by this Chen Li. ”
"The evidence is not sufficient enough to identify Chen Li as the murderer."
"But the officials have found bloodstained clothes in his house!"
With this rhetoric alone, and a piece of clothing, is it necessary to condemn him? Hu Xiu shook his head secretly, it wasn't enough......
"Mrs. Wei, how tall is this Lord Wei?"
"About six feet."
It's stupid again, Hu Xiu doesn't know how tall these six feet are.
After a trip, Hu Xiu leaned next to the deceased Lord Wei, and estimated that he was half a forehead taller than him, this Lord Wei is about one meter seven.
"Master Hu, what are you doing here?"
"Compare heights."
After that, he took a closer look at the wound on Lord Wei's chest, waved his arm, and made a dagger to poke people from top to bottom, and had a thought for a while.
The posture of the murderer holding the knife came to mind, the blade was below, the handle was above, and at that time, Lord Wei should still be reading at the desk.
The murderer was either an acquaintance, pretending to talk to Lord Wei, and when he got closer, he pulled out a dagger and poked it. Either the murderer's martial arts are particularly high, from this desk to the door, it took him a very short time to get to the deceased, and the deceased was killed before he even had time to call for help.
Thinking about this, Hu Xiu suddenly remembered that the bloodstained clothes had been found, but what about the murder weapon! Where is it? The wound from such a sharp weapon is so special.
"Mrs. Wei, I'm pretty much done asking, I still have one last question, and one last request."
"Uncle, you ask, as for the request, I have to listen again."
"Do you have an ice cellar in Wei Mansion?"
"Huh? Icehouse? ”
Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, wasn't she talking about the master? How did you get to the ice cellar?
"Yes, Ice Cellar."
"There is an ice cellar, the master was most afraid of heat when he was alive, so I asked my subordinates to make an ice cellar out, and it will not make the old man uncomfortable in the summer."
"Okay, Qian catches the head, calls a few officials, and sends the body to the ice cellar."
After death, the corpse is decomposing all the time, and the reason for this corruption is that when a person dies, all the cells in the body stop working, and the body loses the protection of the immune system, and can only allow bacteria to multiply freely.
The only way to suppress this kind of decay is to put the corpse in an absolutely cold environment, such as in ice and snow, and the corpse can even be guaranteed not to decay, and of course, in the ice cellar, the same is true.
"What? Send it to the ice cellar, no, poor master, you can't send it to the ice cellar! ”
"That's right, Lord Hu, this Lord Wei is dead, it's not good for you to toss his body like this."
Qian Zhukuai was also a little unbearable, and persuaded Hu Xiu.
"Qian Zhutou, I don't want to say what I said again......"
