Chapter 329: A Case Within a Case
Yu Wenhao hurriedly said: "Then let the three of us find out, and when Yu Wensi comes back from the mountain, we will add additional personnel in the official office!" ”
Dongfang Xiaoyue nodded and said, "It's okay!" In my opinion, I still started the investigation from the Qian family canteen, the Qian family has two cooks, what is the relationship between the two, and have they any contact with the outside world? Who you have the most contact with, etc., you may wish to investigate carefully, and don't let go of any details. ”
Qian Wanru said angrily: "Since you don't care about it, why bother to talk about it and bother to pay attention to you." Yu Wenhao, Yu Wen Bing, follow me. ”
Yu Wenhao sighed and said, "What are you angry about?" Dongfang Xiaoyue has a point, I have also heard that Qian Weixuan and your other cook, Cheng Keyue, seem to have a pimple, I don't know if you know? ”
Qian Wanru asked nervously: "I haven't even heard about my family's affairs, how can you hear about it?" Who told you that? ”
Yu Wenhao smiled and said: "Don't forget that the three great benevolences are nosy, there is nothing in Qionglong City that we don't know, and we will know about doing things in the middle of the night." ”
Qian Wanru felt inconvenient in her heart, and said helplessly: "It's okay to start with my canteen first, let's go!" ”
The Yuwenhao brothers followed Qian Wanru left and right, striding towards Qian Lao Wu's Julong Zhai. Before she arrived at the door, she heard fierce quarrels one after another, Qian Wanru listened carefully, the voice seemed to float out of the dining hall, and hurriedly waved her hand: "It's not good, there is a quarrel in the dining hall, come in with me." ”
The three of them ran into the dining hall and saw Cheng Keyu lying in a pool of blood, Qian Wanru asked nervously: "Who cut him, I heard the quarrel just now, why don't you quarrel now?" Where have all the people gone? ”
Cheng Keyu opened his eyes slightly, and said weakly: "Butler Ling Haojie wants to kill me." Just now he stabbed me in the back while I was cooking, fortunately your father came over and found it and kicked the knife in his hand, otherwise, he was stabbed to death, and now he just shed a lot of blood, you can send me to Lin Langzhong to bandage it. ”
Qian Wanru shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, where are you?" Why did the homicide happen in the canteen? ”
Yu Wenhao hurriedly said: "You go to your father, and our brothers will send Cheng Keyu to bandage the wound first." ”
Qian Wanru said nervously: "Okay, send him quickly, be sure to cure him." I'm going to find my dad. ”
Cheng Keyu said with a dying breath: "Your father trusts the housekeeper too much, and the last time I quarreled with Qian Weixuan, it was the housekeeper who provoked the war." This time, Qian Wei's death may be ......" With a whoosh, a knife flew into Cheng Keyu's heart, and he immediately closed his mouth and lost his breath.
Qian Wanru was so frightened that she shouted loudly: "Who did it, there is a kind of one who comes out to compete, and he will start in the dark." ”
Yu Wenhao was so nervous that his forehead sweated, and he asked loudly: "How could your family cause a bloody disaster?" Is it the fault of money? It is rumored that your family has too much money to calculate, and there are treasures that are priceless, I don't know if it's true or not? ”
Qian Wanru said angrily: "It's all nonsense, where did I get the money to open a restaurant?" My father and I spent a lot of money, and it would be good to be able to maintain a balance between the ends of the budget, and I said that there was too much money to calculate, and I was really idle and had nothing to do to make up nonsense. ”
Yu Wenhao hung his head and said: "The clue I just found was interrupted again, as if we were being followed, why did someone kill Cheng Keyu in front of us?" If we are one step late, Cheng Kejie will die, and we will have no clue, and now we know from Cheng Keyu that there is a problem with your housekeeper Ling Haojie, what to do next, we will listen to you. ”
Qian Wanru said excitedly: "The housekeeper is my father's life-saving benefactor, he has been in my family for decades, I don't believe he will be involved in the murder case, Cheng Keyu's dying words need to be carefully analyzed." ”398
Yuwen said coldly: "Although he is your father's life-saving benefactor, the cause and effect are not clear, and he can't jump to conclusions, maybe he knows the details of your family and wants to steal your family's priceless treasure, and deliberately directed and acted in a scene to save people, it's not impossible." After your father was rescued by him, in order to thank him for saving his life, without thinking about it, he brought him to his house where he was unknown, and began to let him help in Julongzhai, and then he didn't mind letting him be a housekeeper, until now I really want to be exposed. What do you think? ”
Qian Wanru nodded and said: "You analyze it very thoroughly, I heard my father mention that after he saved my father, my father asked him what he wanted, how much money he needed to report the favor, he said that he was a person, no family, his parents had already died, wandering everywhere, eating the last meal without the next meal, he had a good martial arts, it didn't mean anything to ask for money, and asked to come to my house to gather Longzhai to be a cook, and my father agreed." I've been working for about 20 years now, and I've never been married, and I've never been close to women. I don't know the specifics, so I asked my dad to find out the details. Hurry up and find my dad. Then he pulled his leg and ran.
Yu Wenhao hurriedly stopped her and said, "Qian Wanru, don't be in a hurry to leave, what should I do with Cheng Keyu's body, will it be placed in the canteen like this?" What a bad thing. ”
Qian Wanru squatted down and stretched out her fingers to test his nostrils, then stood up and said, "It's really dead, this knife should be pulled out and kept, it will be useful for solving the case." I asked the servants to carry the corpse out and bury it next to Qian Weixi. ”
Yu Wenhao hurriedly bent down and pulled out the knife, he was startled at what he saw, and said honestly: "Isn't this the Qinglong Yanyue Knife that the government is looking for?" It's a no-brainer. ”
Qian Wanru looked at the knife carefully and asked in surprise, "Really?" I haven't seen the Blue Dragon Glaive, I don't know him. If the thief stole the knife, why did he take it out and kill so easily and keep it? I don't believe it, could it be a fake? ”
Yuwen Bing stepped forward and looked at it for a while and said: "It's really the Qinglong Glaive Knife, I don't understand why the murderer stabbed Cheng Keyu to death with the Qinglong Glaive Knife, even if he wants to kill people, he can't stab him to death with the famous knife of the Tang Dynasty!" ”
Qian Wanru held the knife and looked at it for a long time before she said softly: "This is not the Qinglong Glaive Knife, although I haven't seen it, but I've seen books that describe the appearance of the Qinglong Glaive." The Qinglong Glaive Knife is a long-handled broadsword with a back blade, the head of the knife is wide and long, resembling a half-quarter moon, the back has a disjointed blade, the knife body is perforated and hanging, there is a dragon-shaped spit at the junction of the knife head and the handle, and there is a hammer at the end of the long rod. This knife is definitely not the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife. You're mistaken. ”
Yu Wenhao took the knife and looked left and right, and asked suspiciously: "Is it really not the Qinglong Yanyue Knife?" I think about it carefully, and I feel that it is impossible, not to mention the authenticity of the knife, they will not easily use it to pierce Cheng Keyu's body if they dig out their hearts to steal this knife! Maybe it's a fake. ”
Qian Wanru said solemnly: "I have read a book that says that the Qinglong Glaive Knife is a heavy weapon, and the power of the Glaive Knife is huge, but because it is too cumbersome and expensive to manufacture, it is not popular in the combat battlefield, and it is more used to show military power during martial arts, arrays and drills, or become a palace guard and a guard of honor for the palace guards." The war knife used by Guan Yu, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, is a type of heavy cavalry broadsword. Experienced in a hundred battles, invincible, purely according to the romance. According to the predecessors, and the legend of the three kingdoms of the famous general Guan Yu used the Qinglong Glaive, there was no such thing at that time, the real Qinglong Glaive Knife was a weapon that only appeared in our Tang Dynasty. The name of Guan Yu's Glaive Knife, originally known as the Moon Covering Knife, is basically known as the Glaive Knife in Datang, which is a kind of long-handled broadsword with a back blade. The knife on this piercing Ke Jue's body looked like an imitation of the Glaive, not the real Blue Dragon Glaive that had been stolen. There is no need to discuss the authenticity of this knife, now we need to find a way to find the murderer. ”
Yu Wenhao said worriedly: "Don't you think it's strange that the two cooks of your family have been murdered one after another? Who do they usually associate with the most, are there any suspicious signs, and where is their hometown? And where is your butler from? Your father hasn't come back yet, I think I should ask your father about the basic situation, and then think about where to start solving the case, what do you think? ”
Qian Wanru thought for a moment and said: "Well, what you said is not unreasonable, why hasn't my father come back yet, I will first ask the servant to dispose of Cheng Keyu's body, and then go to my father, you can help here." ”
After Qian Wanru went out, several people came back from burying Cheng Keyu's body, and found Qian Wanru and Qian Lao Wu in the entire Qian family compound, and several servants were busy cleaning in the dining hall.
Yu Wenhao looked at Yu Wenbing and said: "I always feel that there are a pair of eyes staring at the Qian family behind me, hiding murderous intentions, and the yin qi is heavy, what do you think?" ”
Yu Wenbing hesitated for a while and said, "I don't feel this way, but Qian Wanru has been going out to find her father for half an hour!" Why haven't you come back yet? ”
"Who says I didn't come back? I've been back a long time ago, but I'm just hiding in the shadows and observing the people and things around me. At the beginning, my family was not rich, and my mother didn't know how to work, Julongzhai had just opened, and I was looking for some cheap labor to help with things. Some of the handymen were hired on the street, and their true identities were not clear, but several of the men who worked here were strong, and put a hundred pounds of things on their shoulders and strode forward. Let's just say that a servant just now, I have been observing him secretly for a long time, he bent down to pick up Cheng Keyu's body, you said to carry him to the burial, but he said that a person can carry him up the mountain, and his strength is so great that he seems to be able to pull up the willows. ”
Yu Wenhao asked in surprise: "Isn't your family looking for a servant to investigate his background?" Where is the house, what is the name, how old is this year, at least ask clearly! ”
Qian Wanru said with a heavy heart: "Maybe not." My father had seen him perform acrobatics on the street, and when he saw him fighting the world, he brought him to his house to serve food to his guests. He made the largest and heaviest serving tray, and it seems to have been about ten years since then. Now that there has been a murder, I feel that these servants are not to be underestimated, perhaps not by idle, perhaps deliberately performing acrobatics on the street to attract my father's attention, and then sneaking into my house to work in order to complete some special secret mission. ”
