In the south of Beijing, only two or three streets away from the place where the fire suddenly broke out the night before yesterday, it is the location of Xu Tongzhou's shop, Xujia Rice Shop.

The sudden appearance of a hundred and ten brocade guards immediately frightened the nearby people into a panic, and they flashed to the side, for fear that they would provoke these evil stars and bring some trouble. However, today, Jinyiwei obviously ignored their meaning, and went straight to the rice line with the boss Zhu, and as soon as a few of them rushed into the shop, they were so frightened that the guy who was just about to come forward to greet him exclaimed, and almost fell to the ground: "Ladies and gentlemen...... You are ......."

Zhao Jie, who led the team, didn't mean to talk to him at all, just waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to search inside and outside the shop, and at the same time asked the shopkeeper who was also full of panic, but still a little calm: "Your rice shop owner is Xu Tongzhou, right?" Where is he? ”

"East ...... The owner is checking in the warehouse at the back, but do you want to go and find it? The shopkeeper hurriedly replied, but he didn't dare to ask these fierce gods what they meant.

Just as Zhao Jie was about to answer, someone on the side had already shouted: "My lord has discovered!" As he spoke, he brought a three-foot-high clay pot over: "Look, my lord! ”

Zhao Jie immediately looked down, but first smelled a pungent smell, so he immediately looked at the guy and the shopkeeper in front of him: "What is this?" ”

The two looked down at the jar in some surprise, and then shook their heads blankly: "The villain doesn't know ......."

"This is the stone grease." Zhao Jie still vaguely remembered the strange smell emanating from the corpse of the deceased, and gave the answer with certainty: "You are only buying and selling grain, why do you have such a fire-causing thing?" ”

"Little ...... The villain really doesn't know. At this moment, even the shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned pale, trembling, and he hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, and then remembered something, and hurriedly took out a few ingots of silver and stuffed them into Zhao Jie's hand: "Adult Mingjian, the small one is just helping the owner take care of this rice shop, what is in this store, but it is impossible to decide." ”

Zhao Jie didn't accept the money at all, but said with a cold face: "Let's wait until you go to the Zhenfu Division." Come on, take them inside to find that Xu Tongzhou! "Since the stone grease was found here, it proves that they have found the right target, as long as they take down the owner Xu Tongzhou here, the murderer will have nothing to hide.

The others also understood this, and immediately shouted yes, and then skillfully tied up the shopkeeper with the reverse scissors, and pushed him to the back of the shop.

Just like the vast majority of shops today, this Xujia rice store is also the pattern of the front store and the back warehouse, and because of the great demand for grain, the granary of his shop is also not small, and there are two courtyards. Jin Yiwei took the shopkeeper all the way inside, and soon saw a warehouse, after getting his confirmation, everyone immediately pulled out their waist knives and put on a vigilant look, even Zhao Jie, who had also drawn the knife in his hand, staring at the front vigilantly.

There is no way, after seeing Jiang Chong's tragic and bizarre death, everyone is naturally full of vigilance against the perpetrator of this murder. Even if he can now be sure that his sudden fire was not caused by ghosts and gods, he did not dare to take it lightly, for fear that he would also fall into the way.

It wasn't until the posture was set up that someone stepped forward and kicked open the half-covered warehouse door, and then shouted at the inside: "Xu Tongzhou,

You've happened, so don't you catch it quickly! ”

But it turned out to be quiet, and there was no sound. This made Zhao Jie frown a little worriedly, could it be that he leaked the news and let the murderer escape earlier?

Turning this thought, he immediately looked at the panicked shopkeeper beside him: "Does this granary have a back door?" ”

"Yes...... Some. It's just that the door hasn't been opened for many years, and the chain is rusting to death, I'm afraid it won't be opened......"

"Maybe that's possible!" Zhao Jie's heart tightened again, and he hurriedly waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to rush in with him to find out.

Although those brocade guards muttered a little in their hearts, but since the hundred households had given the order, they naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately rushed into the warehouse one by one, once there was really something wrong, they could meet it as quickly as possible.

After all, their vigilance was too much, and after entering it, there was no change, let alone any sneak attack, and even half of the figure was missing. Zhao Jie, who came in closely, became more and more anxious after seeing this scene: "Go inside, search carefully, don't leave anything out......" When he said this, he was suddenly stunned.

The other subordinates also stayed where they were at this time, all of them staring straight ahead, just like their own bosses, with a look of disbelief on their faces.

I saw that the bags of rice noodles that had been piled up high in front of me had somehow collapsed, and under the sacks, there was still a person pressing. At this time, the shopkeeper of the rice store was also brought into the warehouse, and after seeing this scene and seeing the clothes of the people below, he exclaimed: "The owner ......"

"You say he's Xu Tongzhou?" Zhao Jie's heart was even tighter, and he hurriedly ordered someone to step forward and move away the sacks that were pressed on the person. Only then did the brocade guards react, and hurriedly took the order forward, and moved the sacks that weighed dozens of pounds with all their hands and feet, and worked hard for a while before revealing the people underneath.

I saw that this person was wearing a light blue cloth coat, his chest had been smashed by these sacks and completely collapsed, and his face was distorted by pain, and he was also rubbed by the sack, which looked particularly hideous and terrifying. The only good news is that his face was not directly hit by the sack because of his hand, and his appearance can still be distinguished.

After taking a closer look, the shopkeeper over there exclaimed again: "It's really our owner, how can he ...... You're going to be knocked down by this grain......"

Zhao Jie couldn't just listen to his identification, so he turned around and said, "Go and bring Boss Zhu over and let him identify this person." Then he ordered the other two: "Go to the back door over there, and see if there are people coming in and out." ”

Immediately, several subordinates did as ordered, and after a while, the person who checked the back door rushed over: "My lord, the lock of the back door has completely rusted to death as the shopkeeper said, and it can't be opened at all, and there is no trace of someone priing it open." ”

"So, he's the only one in this warehouse, and it's really an accident?" Zhao Jie frowned, although he said this softly, he still didn't believe it in his heart, is there really such a coincidence in this world? I just found out this clue, and the important suspect died in his granary so unexplained?

I was groaning

Suddenly, Boss Zhu was also brought in, as soon as he came over, he saw the miserable corpse, and suddenly shuddered in fright: "This ......" Obviously, his first reaction was that he wanted to resist, but he was killed by Jinyiwei.

Zhao Jie didn't pay attention to his thoughts at all, just looked at him and asked, "Boss Zhu, you can see clearly, is he Xu Tongzhou?" ”

Boss Zhu was obviously a little scared in his heart, so he could only peek at the corpse for a while, and after a while, he nodded: "It's Boss Xu...... Yes, you can't be wrong. ”

After Zhao Jie got this confirmation, his face became more and more ugly, and he looked at the shopkeeper on the side: "What the hell is going on?" You're in the shop, and you don't even know that there's such a big commotion behind you? ”

"The little one really hasn't heard any movement. Our warehouse is indeed some distance from the shop in front, and there are a few doors separated from it...... Maybe the villain was greeting a guest at that time, so he ignored the movement, and hoped that the lord would know which ......" while arguing, the shopkeeper had knelt down, he was really scared, this is a homicide case, if these brocade guards suspect that they are the owner of their own harm, this crime is too big.

After looking at the other party for a long time, Zhao Jie didn't dare to make a judgment for a while, so he could only wave his hand: "Take him and the corpse back to the Zhenfu Division." There are a few people left here to guard! "Things have come to this point, he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he can only take people back first and hand them over to Governor Lu to deal with.

@@@@@

In the Zhenfu Division, when Lu Zhen listened to Zhao Jie finish talking about what happened in Xu's rice shop in detail, even he was a little surprised and dazed: "How can this be?" Are you sure that Xu Tongzhou was stoned to death by those grains, not at the hands of others? ”

"This ...... For the time being, I dare not guarantee it. However, judging from the situation at the time, he was indeed buried deep in a sack full of food, and may have even been buried alive after being seriously injured. And there were only a few of them in the shop, and the back door was still locked, so it was difficult for someone to kill them. Zhao Jie organized the language and gave his own thoughts.

"A big living person was buried alive in the warehouse of his own shop by a sack that suddenly collapsed? Is this possible? Lu Zhen shook his head with some suspicion, this is not filming death, how can there be such a strange way of death in the world? Especially when this Xu Tongzhou is still closely related to the previous weird spontaneous combustion case, his death is even more worthy of scrutiny.

Zhao Jie first nodded, and then shook his head a little blankly: "But...... But the lowly and the brothers did not find anything suspicious at the scene, and there were no outsiders ......"

"So, it looks like another accident?" Lu Zhen squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "But Jiang Chong's death didn't look like it was artificial on the surface, but in the end, didn't he see a flaw?" ”

"What the adults said is, it's just ......" Zhao Jie's face suddenly turned embarrassed, as a Jinyi Wei Baihu, he used to arrest criminals, and he was indeed a little unfamiliar with the investigation of cases.

Lu Zhen nodded knowingly: "That's it, let's go see the corpse first, and then the official will go to the scene in person." I thought that the matter was already promising, but it turned out to be uncertain, which made him really pay attention to the hidden truth behind this case.
