Chapter 22: Visits
Several people acted immediately, and soon came to the door of a pharmacy, and after inquiry, the shopkeeper said: "Several guest officers, in recent days, we have never encountered this kind of scratch in the pharmacy, nor have we encountered this kind of patient, and a few of them still went to other stores to have a look."
Song Ci said: "Think about it carefully, is there something you have forgotten?" For example, someone didn't show you the wound, but just bought some medicine for iron wounds?"
"This.... If the guest officer says so, I'm afraid this matter will be complicated, although the scale of our store is not large, but the business is good, the old man dares to guarantee that the customers who come every day will be at least hundreds, and the medicine for bruises and injuries is usually sold the most, and I don't know who you are talking about?"
"Can the shopkeeper make a list for me, who has bought these in the last five days?"
"This is not a secret, guest officer, this is the secret of our pharmacy, and I don't know these people, old man, how can I give you a list? If someone else finds out, what will I do in this business?"
Song Ci said: "Since this is the case, then Song will leave."
Walking out of the door, the four of them saw a familiar figure walking by, and when they looked at it, it was the father of the deceased Feng San, who was hurrying across the street at the moment, for some reason.
"My lord, will this old man..."
"It's hard to say, Miss Xiaoyue, let's go up and see the situation together, this person's presence here does not necessarily mean that he is suspicious.
Following behind, Song Ci saw the old man enter a cloth shoe store, buy a new pair of shoes, and then come out of the store and find a clothing store to buy a pair of pants.
Song Ci and the others walked over, "Old man, are you going to buy clothes?" I even bought my shoes together, I can't see it, your son hasn't settled in the ground yet, you are like this, don't you think something is wrong?"
The old man said: "Lord Criminal, the old man sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, I am also very sad, but the clothes and shoes are broken, this must not be worn, my son will be buried in a few days, Lord Criminal, on a hot day, can I walk barefoot?"
Song Ci also understood, but Feng San's murderer was undecided, so how could he be buried like this?
"Old man, your son's bones are not cold, are you sure you need to bury him? There are three more days, and in three days, Song will definitely solve this case.
He shook his head, already believing that Lu Sheng was the only murderer in this matter.
"Lord Tiren, the old man already knows, except for that Lu Sheng, there will be no murderer in this matter, how do you think it could be so coincidental? No one else could find out, but he did, and he was the most suspicious. ”
Xiao Yue said: "Old man, our adults are the emperor's prisoners, as for who is the murderer, the mystery will be revealed in three days, you don't have to worry."
"Not in a hurry? Is it okay not to be in a hurry? He has been dead for three days, and the countryside pays attention to entering the soil for peace, so how can he keep him at home all the time? Judge, I have already decided, old man, and the day after tomorrow, I will bury the child.
Song Ci was silent, he could only buy the last bit of time and hope, and then go to visit, hoping to get some useful clues from the neighbors.
The four of them walked in front, according to the address in their memory, and walked slowly, Feng San's home was on the edge of the county seat, and there were almost all people around, most of whom lived a simple and frugal life.
Song Ci walked to one of the houses and asked, "Old man, what are you busy with?"
The old man said: "What else can you be busy with, it's not busy planting some vegetables, on the edge of this county, what do you live on if you don't do this?"
"What is life like? Sell some vegetables to make a living?"
"But it's not, you said that these people in the county are rich, but the old woman and I are not like this, people don't work and have money to spend, but I can't the old woman, hey, it's all fate.
Song Ci looked in all directions, and then said, "Old man, you are a little close to Feng San's house, have you known that he has been drowned recently?"
"I know, of course I know, my wife and I have a good relationship with their family, it is said that this Feng San was killed by someone, and the murderer has also been arrested and is locked up in the Yamen prison."
"Old man, do you know that this person is the murderer? Appearing at the first scene doesn't mean that he killed someone, if Song was here at the time, wouldn't he be treated as a murderer?"
"This... Not necessarily, this son, you see that Guo Zhixian has already arrested people, so is it still fake? Do you think that's going to be the case?"
.This... Song Ci said: "Old man, let's not discuss who is the murderer, otherwise, let's discuss this Feng San, how about it?"
"Feng San? Dead are dead, what else is there to discuss? Childe, I said you wouldn't be interested in these strange things, would you!"
Qin Xiaoyue interjected, "Old man, our adults are mentioning some criminal prison officers to solve cases, if you have any clues, you might as well tell them, if we adults know, maybe we can figure it out." ”
"Ahh Mention the prison officer? Childe, are you a criminal prison officer in charge of the Criminal Department?" Song Ci said: "Exactly, the old man has something to say to me, but all this must be true, otherwise, not only Song will punish you, but the Great Song Law will also punish you!"
The old man lowered his head, fell silent for a moment, and looked jealous and hateful the next moment.
"Lord Tiren, this deceased Feng San, it's really not a thing, especially after being infected with gambling, the family's money has been lost, not only that, but he also went outside to borrow money from the gambling house, and a lot of debts outside have not been repaid, if it weren't for the fact that the person is still in the house, I'm afraid that the debtor would have gone to the door long ago."
Song Ci said: "Gambling, what He Song heard was like a withdrawal, but the old man, how did Feng San treat his parents before his death?"
"Sensei!" The old man waved his hand one after another, "In the past two years, his parents in their sixties have been beaten by him, some with sticks, and even with knives.
Not only Song Ci, but even the other three were angry, but I don't know if this matter is true, after all, seeing is believing and hearing is false.
Song Ci said: "Then his parents didn't report to the official and arrested this unfilial son?"
"What to report, children are always the hearts and minds of parents, how can this be reported? Therefore, they have been enduring and have been doing education, hoping that Feng San can quit gambling, but unfortunately everything is late.
"So, old man, you mean, Feng San's death may have something to do with his old father? He couldn't bear the bullying of his son, so he chose to kill his relatives in righteousness?"
"No, no, no, Lord Detective, I didn't say this, this Feng San was most likely drowned in the water, how could he be killed by his old father? It's impossible, who in the world can kill their own children?"
Song Ci said: "Song just said it casually, old man, why are you still panicking?" Could it be that this matter really has something to do with his old father?"
