After the military order came out in front of Xue Tongju, Sun Tu told his subordinates about his situation, which made the old fritters of the Yamen more and more admired him in shock.

These people have been in Kaifeng Mansion for many years, and they have long seen too many unjust, false and wrongful cases, and sometimes because of various reasons and concerns, a case that could have found out the truth has become an unjust case, but they can only choose to remain silent when they see all this. They thought that this was the way of the world, but Sun Tu's performance greatly exceeded their expectations, and it was because it was unique, so it became more and more precious.

But in addition to admiring, everyone also knew that this case was still tricky, and Shen Liang frowned deeply: "Dutou, there are still no further clues in this arson case, can we really find out the truth?" Where do we start? ”

The others also looked at Sun Tu with unease, but he himself was still calm at this time: "Of course, it started with Qi Xuanwen, the prisoner came for his shop, and the answer naturally lies in him." With that, he turned and walked out: "Let's ask him again and see what kind of clues he can provide." ”

At that moment, Sun Tu led everyone to the inn they had been to yesterday. But as soon as I arrived near the inn, I found that there were a lot of people around, still pointing there, and when I got closer, I heard some people talking about the dead and the violent death. This made Sun Tu's heart suddenly mention, and an extremely bad idea rose, and he immediately squeezed through the crowd in three or two strokes and rushed directly to the inn.

Seeing this group of people in official uniforms coming to him, the shopkeeper with a sad face immediately greeted him: "Poor master, this is not a small shop, this morning the guy in my shop wanted to bring water to the guest officer surnamed Qi, but when he went in, he found that the person had died in the room......"

"What do you say? Is it a guest surnamed Qi who died with you? What's his name? But Qi Xuanwen? Sun Tu's face also changed drastically, and he asked a series of questions.

Only then did the other party recognize Sun Tu, they had taken a photo yesterday, and Sun Tu had also revealed his identity at that time. Now the store is getting more and more nervous: "Poor master...... Didn't you just come here after taking the case? The one who died was indeed the guest officer named Qi Xuanwen, who had met with you yesterday. ”

After getting a positive answer, Sun Tu's face became more and more gloomy, and he took a deep breath before controlling his emotions, and then carefully glanced at the people around him. The customers and men in the shop were all so frightened that they didn't even dare to make eye contact with him. After looking around, he said, "Where is he now, take me there." The others behind him were already stunned, and no one expected that the only clue would be broken.

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed, and led the way, while constantly muttering that he was innocent, and it was obvious that he had been frightened by the accident in the store. Sun Tu sank his face and didn't say anything, and it wasn't until he came to the guest room that he stopped the store who was about to enter the door: "Was the door open before this room?" ”

"No, that's good. When Xiao Yi came to my store, he pushed the door because he found that the door was not closed tightly, and it turned out that the guest was dead in the room. ”

Sun Tu nodded, let everyone stay outside, and then stepped into this slightly deep room at this time, carefully swept the room environment, and found that this was a rather simple guest room, except for the bed against the wall, there was just a table, two stools and a cabinet for placing items. At this time, there were no traces of chaos left by the fight in the room, and the deceased was lying on the bed, and there was no trace of blood on the surface.

After Sun Tu confirmed that there was no omission, he came to the corpse and lowered his head to carefully inspect Qi Xuanwen's body. In just one night, the important witness who could still talk to him yesterday was out of breath, his whole face was a little frighteningly white, his head was tilted to the side, and only the corner of his mouth still had a trace of blood.

Sun Tu's hand only touched his neck, and he found that the cause of his death was the same as the two charred corpses he checked last night, and he was also killed by someone who had his neck broken! This made Sun Tu feel a trace of regret in his heart, in fact, he should have been on guard a long time ago, since the murderer dared to kill and set fire, it was difficult to guarantee that he would not attack Qi Xuanwen, a key witness. It was only because of yesterday's undecided matter, coupled with some fatigue, that he ignored this crucial point, causing Qi Xuanwen to be subsequently killed.

"Dutou, why did he die?" Shen Liang asked a little eagerly in front of the door.

Sun Tu sighed: "He was killed by someone who broke his neck." Look at the latch of this guest room and see if there are any scratches. ”

Shen Liang agreed, entered the house and checked carefully, and then said: "Sure enough, someone used a sharp weapon to pry open the door at night, and there are still fresh traces on the latch." ”

Sun Tu nodded: "The other party is here to kill people, and the attack is very clean, leaving almost no clues." ”

"How can the head of the capital make such an assertion, maybe he was murdered by someone for money?" Lu Fang, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly put forward his own idea.

Sun Tu sneered: "If a thief sneaks into the house and is found to kill someone, it is impossible to do it so cleanly, and there is no clue left for us." Moreover, there were also the parcels and belongings of the deceased in the cabinet, which showed no signs of being touched at all. ”

Only then did everyone realize that there were still neat packages in the cabinet next to them, so they nodded yes. Then everyone was even more uneasy: "Then who will this murderer be?" Now that Qi Xuanwen is dead, isn't all the clues broken? ”

"Yes, that's why they took the risk, but I'm sure if they commit a crime, they'll be left behind." Sun Tu had already walked out of the house at this time: "Shopkeeper, are there any strange people in front of your door who have been lingering in front of your door for the past two days?" Obviously, the other party didn't attack Qi Xuanwen until last night because he was looking for him, and the other party was worried that the matter would be leaked, so he would take the risk of killing people.

The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, but still shook his head: "I can't remember the small one, there are too many people coming and going in front of the small shop every day, and we really can't pay attention to it." ”

Sun Tu didn't embarrass him, but asked him to call several other guys in the store together, and then threw the same question. These people naturally looked trembling in front of the people in the official mansion, and after a while, they shook their heads one by one to indicate that they had not found anything.

"Is there really no special person?" Sun Tu touched his chin thoughtfully. At this moment, another group of public servants hurried over, led by Han Chun, another capital head of Kaifeng Mansion, who was obviously a little surprised when he saw Sun Tu and the others: "Why is Sun Dutou also here?" ”

After Sun Tu explained slightly, the other party was even more shocked: "There is such a thing? Then this case ...... "When he knew that this murder was actually related to the fire and serious crime the night before, he had the heart to retreat.

I didn't want Sun Tu to say: "I have already done everything that should be investigated, and this case will naturally be handled by you Han Dutou." With a greeting, he led the people away.

Out of the inn, Shen Liang and the others looked at him with some puzzlement: "Dutou, have you already found a suspicious person?" "Why else did it come out so soon?

Sun Tu shook his head: "There are no clues, and even suspicious people can't be found." ”

"Then ......" Now everyone is really a little uneasy. But Sun Tu smiled again: "But the more this is the case, the more the problem is exposed." You say, if someone has been staring at Qi Xuanwen near this inn, will the shopkeeper be completely unaware? Maybe they won't be able to find the problem for a while, but after a whole day, people will always see through it. ”

"This ......" Shen Liang's expression suddenly changed: "Could it be that the guests in the store, or even the guys in the store?" ”

"No, I took a closer look just now, the shopkeeper and the guy are all ordinary people, and the one who can kill Qi Xuanwen and the three of them neatly must have good martial arts. As for the other customers, it is not very likely, after all, if you invest in the store yesterday and leave in a hurry early this morning, it is easy to be suspicious, and the store will mention it to us just now. ”

"Who the hell is the murderer?"

Sun Tu's gaze swept over the people and pedestrians not far away, and said with a solemn expression: "There is only one kind of person, even if they have been in front of the store, they will be deliberately ignored, because they have always been like this, extremely inconspicuous!" At this point, his gaze fell to a corner not far away, where a ragged, dirty beggar was sitting!
