Volume 1 Jinghua Smoke and Clouds (I) Chapter 29 The Jiang Clan's Annihilation
"Why is that?" Lu Chengfeng said, and looked back behind him.
I saw that in this mansion, above the corridor, in the flower hall, dozens of dead bodies were densely hung! Big and small, high and low, different costumes, different ages and identities, but they all died miserably, bleeding from the seven orifices!
The dozens of dead bodies swayed with the north wind in the dark night, and there was a smell of death! In the meantime, blood continued to fall and flow into the culverts in the house, mixed with the melting snow from the falling snow, and gathered into a blood-red stream.
In this house, it was as if a terrible rain of blood had just fallen!
Lu Chengfeng just felt that there were many dark shadows in this mansion, and it was a forest person, and at this moment, this mansion was brightly lit by a bunch of torches, and he saw such a terrifying scene behind him! Even if he has been immersed in the rivers and lakes for many years, he feels a burst of coldness behind his spine.
Wu Jingmo is a scholar, and he has never seen such a tragic picture. At this moment, he was frightened by this bloody rain, only felt that his calves and stomach were weak, and despite the dampness of the ground, he sat on the ground with his butt, dumbfounded, and his brain no longer obeyed.
Lu Chengfeng had no choice but to command for him:
"The front row is going to count the dead bodies! The second row quickly went to each room to check and see if there was any living in this house! In the third row, let's see if there are any suspicious people around! You! Hurry back to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and upload the letter! The last few, take Brother Jingmo outside the door and take care of him! Everyone, let's do it! As soon as you complete the task, come to this flower hall and find me to get back to me! ”
Lu Chengfeng said, the soldiers had already divided their work and scattered in all directions. If you want to come to this Jingzhao Yin Wu, you must be extremely strict in discipline on weekdays, no wonder you have a good reputation in Beijing!
After a while, the three rows of government soldiers who were ordered in the palace lined up neatly in the flower hall and reported one by one:
"Report! After counting and confirming, a total of 32 hanging corpses, including 11 male corpses, 21 female corpses, and also included, a man and a woman and two children! ”
The face of the government soldier who reported had changed from fear to grief and indignation, his hands were clenched into iron fists, and he said angrily, "I don't know which gangster it is, he is simply extremely vicious, and he has lost his conscience, and he doesn't even let go of his children!" ”
"Report! All the inside of this house has been inspected, and no live mouth has been found! My lord, this is the small one found the family tree and the list of servants, the men, women and children of this Jiang Mansion, a total of thirty-two people, one is in decline, all here! ”
The soldier couldn't bear to look at the ground of the flower hall, gritted his teeth, and reported.
On the ground of the small flower hall, there were thirty-two dead corpses, all of which had been removed from the beams of the house by the government soldiers just now. After testing the snort one by one, they have all died in Huangquan and have no power to return to the sky!
"Alas! What a wickedness! Are there any suspicious tracks? Like footprints? Lu Chengfeng patted his chest, and it took a long time to come to his senses and sigh.
"No suspicious person found!"
"There is no snow from the back door to the flower hall, maybe the snow just now is not big enough?"
"I see there are a lot of footprints outside the back door, all of them were left when we came in just now!"
"I didn't find out!"
"I didn't find this either!"
……
The government soldiers finished reporting one by one.
"The blood of these dozens of dead bodies has not yet dried up, and it must have been dead for a short time. I just met a little beggar in the alley outside the back door and was stabbed in the back. Later, I met a man who was shouting for help, and he also came from this direction. It seems that the murderer escaped through that back door! ”
"But the back door was obviously locked, and we only split it with a knife when we arrived!" Some soldiers asked in confusion.
"That's right! Have you checked how many doors there are in this Jiang Mansion? Are there any doors that are open? Lu Chengfeng asked.
"Report to your lord! There are a total of four doors in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Jiangfu, of which the south-facing one is the Jiangfu gate, there is a large side door facing east, and the north-facing and west-facing ones are small side doors used by servants to move around. The small door we came in today was the side door facing north. The little ones have been checked repeatedly, and all four doors are tightly closed! ”
"It's so weird!"
Wu Jingmo didn't know when he came out again, he must have vomited a few times, and now he was bold, and he came in the door again, and he also wanted to help him, and asked, "Could it be that the gangsters did it?" After killing someone, he escaped over the wall with light skills? Have you found out that there are any lost property in this Jiang Mansion? ”
"No, if it is a thief, he usually just steals the treasure and walks away with thirty-six schemes, at most he will kill the person who encounters him stealing. After all, this is the capital, and the ordinary thieves of the rivers and lakes will not dare to act recklessly here, not to mention that the high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing are as vast as the stars, and they are much more luxurious than this Jiangfu, so why should they find this crime? ”
Lu Chengfeng didn't quite agree with Wu Jingmo's theory of robbing money and killing people, and retorted.
"That's a vendetta! I also feel more like a vendetta! It's just that I really can't imagine that people's hearts can be so sinister, and thirty-two people die overnight! What is the enmity of the common heavens, will kill like this! Destroy the door like this! It's just a beast! Wu Jingmo was very sad, stomped his feet hard, and said.
"If it was a vendetta, who would have done it? If it is a killer who can fly on the wall, he generally has his usual weapon magic weapon, and most killers are often good at sword killing, and the pursuit is to hit with one hit! Because this is the quickest and most direct way to kill. Moreover, the killers of the rivers and lakes must follow the rules of the rivers and lakes, take revenge and revenge, and do not hurt innocent others, otherwise they will break the rules, and they will be attacked and killed by the world's benevolent and righteous people in the future! ”
Lu Chengfeng muttered to himself as he pondered. He had been pacing back and forth several times, still clueless, so he exclaimed, "Go and check if there are any other fatal wounds on these corpses!" ”
After a new round of examination of the body, no clues were found. The thirty-two corpses, all neatly dressed and clean, showed no other symptoms except for bleeding from the seven orifices, only a slight strangulation mark on the neck.
After listening to the report of the government soldiers, Lu Chengfeng squatted next to a corpse and examined it carefully.
According to the detective reasoning novels he often read in his previous life, the neck of this corpse was shallow, there were slight abrasions on the epidermis, there was no tongue sticking out of the body, and there was no broken wound on the neck bone, the corpse's mouth, ears, nose and eyes showed signs of bleeding of varying degrees, its blood was red and purple, and there were no obvious injuries or traces caused by fighting or resistance in other parts of the body.
Therefore, these people were poisoned! After being poisoned, he disguised himself as a hanged person and hung on the beams of the house!
Lu Chengfeng explained his inference to Wu Jingmo and the others, and appealed loudly, "These corpses are still dripping with blood, and there are no corpse spots yet. The murderer must have been committed in an hour! The gates of the city are closed, and the murderer must be in the city at this time! It's hard to fly with wings! Brother Jingmo, tonight, let's catch turtles in an urn! ”
