Chapter 61: Pretending

On the second day of August, one step closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone was busy pushing noodles and preparing the moon cakes for that day.

The air was still a little humid, and in the early morning, the surface of the Yangqinhuai River and the Guanhe River was foggy and gradually evaporated by the blazing sun.

People who have been at home for a long time rarely go to the street to catch the market, women have exchanged the cloth hoarded at home for half a month for firewood, rice, oil, salt and silver, and the men in the family are studying, and they have also bought some pen, ink, paper and inkstones to go back.

The slender men of Guanhe are still working, shouting trumpets one by one, pulling the cargo ships to the dockside, and then the porters will carry the goods up and down, which is a completely different scenery from the Yangqinhuai River.

When everyone passed by a certain section of the road, they all knew that a few days ago in an unknown alley next to Guanhe Street, there was a corpse that appeared, and Liu Rui's family of three was all killed.

Now with Liu Rui's family as the center, to the place where his body was found, a radius of eighty zhang has been blocked, and everyone in this range has been investigated, and in the end, the government still found nothing.

All this seems to be the government performing its duties, gradually investigating and collecting evidence, but in fact, this is just an illusion, and its real murderer is well known to some people.

Several days have passed since the incident, and whether it is rumors about Su Wenbang or rumors about Cai An in the city, they have gradually calmed down, because these two people are involved in this case at the same time.

In the Great Song Dynasty, there are no shortage of examples of talented people with meritorious names assisting the government to solve cases, and even this will accumulate merit for these talents, so that when choosing a candidate, they will consider more.

More than 50 years ago, there was a strange person who solved the case in the Great Song Dynasty, and the people called him Qingtian, which shows how powerful this person's ability to solve and solve cases is, of course, the most important thing is that this person is iron-faced and selfless.

When he was young, he was still a talent, so he assisted Kaifeng Mansion, Jiangning Mansion, and CD Mansion to solve the case, and made countless contributions.

Since then, countless books have imitated this person, and there are also people who have solved bizarre cases, so no one was surprised when the news came out that a few scholars who had nothing to do with the government helped solve the case.

Especially Yue Fei, this "talented man" has already assisted Yamen in solving more than ten cases in Yangzhou, and this time he is also among them, but I don't know if the bizarre murder case of Liu Rui's family will be solved.

In Yangzhou, almost everyone thinks that this is a headless case, Liu Rui's family of three, the murderer did not leave any traces, plus it rained that night, even the corpse was swollen and white, and there were no clues to be found at all.

Su Lin, Yue Fei, Tang Yin and others followed Zhang Yi to the official river, and did not immediately enter the scene of the crime, Zhang Yi had also gone in to investigate twice before, but he had no clue at all, and could only determine that the murderer was a top assassin.

Because the sky is only clear today, and in the days after the body was found and removed, the scene was damaged a lot by bad weather, so everything must be based on the scene when the body was first found.

Zhang Yi was telling the scene of the crime on the morning when the body was found, he was one of the few people he saw, and he could only write down the situation at the scene that day, because there was a body, so he was able to deduce some plots.

Everyone was listening, a carriage stopped in front of several people, Cai An stepped down from the car, looking worried, and after seeing Su Lin and a few people, he said: "Brother Wenbang, Brother Pengju, Brother Bohu...... You guys came early, Yuan Jin made you wait for a long time. ”

Ignoring Cai An's coy appearance at all, Su Lin said directly: "This murder involves your and my reputation, and I hope that Brother Yuan Jin will do his best." ”

"Hah, that's nature." Cai An chuckled and patted his chest, looking like he was responsible, which made Yue Fei feel guilty in his heart.

Su Lin nodded, looked at Cai An, and said with a smile: "If Brother Yuan Jin takes out the two dogs in the family, it is impossible to find the murderer, I heard that the dog's nose is very smart...... It is said that the two dogs of Brother Yuan Jin's family are Lian Jiazi. ”

A gust of river wind blew, blowing the hair crown of the two of them a little crooked, and the eyes of Su Lin and Cai An intertwined, colliding with fierce sparks.

In the end, his eyes flickered slightly, Cai An retracted his gaze, the corners of his mouth twitched, and said with a smile: "Brother Wen Bang said that you are laughing, those two lazy dogs...... Don't mention it. Don't delay the hour, why don't you go in and investigate together? ”

Su Lin saw that Cai An was a little weaker in momentum, and couldn't help but be secretly refreshed, Fang Cai's words were simply revealing Cai An's old bottom, maybe others didn't know the meaning of his words, but as Tang Yin and Yue Fei who were blocking this moment that night, they knew that Su Lin was referring to something else.

No longer caring about these eye contacts, Su Lin glanced at Yue Fei and Tang Yin, and then followed Zhang Yi and slowly walked to the depths of the street.

The catchers isolated the scene and prevented idlers from entering, so as not to cause more damage to the crime scene.

Slowly walking in, what caught Su Lin's eyes was a faint blood stain, which was not very many, and it was disorganized, and he could only vaguely see the traces of the rain.

With a frown, Su Lin looked at the other side of the pool of blood stains, which was a wall in the alley, and there were also splash marks on it, it was obvious that Liu Rui did not take any precautions when he was killed.

Su Lin walked up to Cai An, who had a solemn face, and asked, "I don't know what Brother Yuan Jin has to do?" ”

Cai An had been paying attention to the blood stains on the ground, and Su Lin suddenly stood in front of him and asked, startled.

"Could it be that Brother Yuanjin is afraid of ghosts?" Su Lin patted Cai An on the shoulder and smiled, "There are no ghosts in the world, as long as there are no ghosts in your heart, what are you afraid of?" Not to mention the fact that now in broad daylight...... Could it be that Brother Yuan Jin has a ghost in his heart? ”

"Brother Wen Bang, what do you mean by this?" Cai An's face turned cold in vain, and then said, "I just wanted to be engrossed, this blood stain sprayed into the alley, and I heard Zhang Zhutou say that the body was on its back, with its head facing outward and its feet facing inward, obviously, the murderer was intercepted here after killing Liu Rui's family." ”

"If it is interception, then the murderer will not know when Liu Rui will go home, so the murderer does not know Liu Rui, which excludes vendetta." Cai An continued to analyze, the head was the way, and Zhang Zhutou nodded again and again when he heard it.

If he didn't know the truth, Su Lin would probably be deceived, so he smiled and said: "Brother Yuan Jin is very sharp-minded, but I heard that the valuable things in this Cai An family have not been touched at all, neither for hatred nor for wealth, so why?" ”
