Duan Lianting and Tang Yiping were in the room early, their eyebrows were furrowed, and there was a corpse with a swollen face lying next to them, next to the corpse was a wooden bucket, and there was a large pool of water stains on the ground. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Baoer stepped forward and asked, "This is?" ”

Duan Lianting said: "This is Zhangjiabao's fort Zhen. ”

Uncle Hua asked, "How could he be like this?" ”

Duan Lianting said: "The housekeeper who patrolled in the early morning passed by the house and saw water leaching out of the crack in the door, so he knocked on the door several times, but no one answered in the house. The family then pushed open the door, and saw a man's head in the bucket, motionless. The family called a few more times, but there was still no answer, and the family hurriedly came to report to me. When I learned about it, I immediately called Doctor Tang to come and inspect it, only to see Zhang Zhentou lying in the bucket of bath water, and his whole body was already cold. ”

Tang Yiping said: "After my initial examination, I found that Zhang Zhen drowned in a bucket. ”

Uncle Hua said puzzledly: "Zhang Zhennai is a hero, how could such a person drown in a bucket?" ”

Duan Lianting said: "Zhang Zhen drank a lot of wine last night, it seems that he wanted to wash his face after returning to the room, but he was drunk, unconscious, and fell into the bucket. ”

Zhang Bao'er squatted down to inspect the corpse, but saw that his cheeks were swollen, obviously soaked in water for a long time, and there were no traces of injuries on his body, and there were no signs of internal injuries, he nodded and said: "Preliminarily, he was not killed by external forces." ”

Zhang Bao'er looked at the whole room again, everything in the room was in order, and there was no sign of outsiders intruding, he said to Duan Lianting: "Just now you said that the family pushed the door open, which proves that the door is not locked. ”

Duan Lianting nodded: "The door is hidden, I think Zhang Zhen was drunk last night, and when he returned to the room, he just closed the door and didn't lock it." ”

Tang Yiping sighed: "Drunk and misunderstood, Zhang Zhen's mistake was his own life." ”

Zhang Baoer said coldly: "Drowning after drinking is just a appearance, this is murder!" ”

Duan Lianting asked in surprise, "Murder? Who was it, who killed him? ”

Zhang Baoer said indifferently: "Naturally, he is a peony killer." ”

"Where are the others?"

Zhang Baoer shook her head: "I don't know where he is, and I don't know who he is." But Zhang Zhen was killed by him. ”

Tang Yiping said: "But no traces of injury were found on Zhang Zhen's body. ”

Duan Lianting also said: "This room is the last room in this row of rooms, if the peony killer wants to harm Zhang Zhen, he must pass by a whole row of rooms, there are many martial arts masters among the guests, you can hear a little wind and grass, who can walk through their door quietly?" ”

Zhang Baoer asked, "Who lived in Zhang Zhen's previous room?" ”

Duan Lianting said: "A rich man - Tao Wan. ”

Zhang Baoer asked again: "What about the previous room?" ”

Duan Lianting: "It's Shi Jin and his wife." ”

Zhang Bao'er lowered her head and pondered, and Duan Lianting asked, "Could it be that Lord Zhang thinks that one of my guests is a peony killer?" ”

Zhang Bao'er nodded: "The Sword Forge Villa is built on a cliff, and it is indeed difficult to sneak in, so I deduce that one of your guests is the Peony Killer." ”

Duan Lianting shook his head: "My guests are all old friends, and they have all been to Sword Casting Villa several times. ”

"That doesn't rule out suspicion."

Tang Yiping said curiously: "Even if there is really a peony killer who can quietly enter this room, but Zhang Zhen is also armed with martial arts, how can he quietly let Zhang Zhen drown?" ”

Zhang Baoer analyzed: "Maybe the peony killer first drugged Zhang Zhen and fascinated him, and then made him hang his head in the barrel to create the illusion of drowning after drinking." ”

Duan Lianting said: "How to prove your claim?" ”

Zhang Bao'er said: "Dissect Zhang Zhen's corpse, inspect his stomach, and you will understand it after examination." ”

Duan Lianting was puzzled: "Zhang Zhen is a figure with a head and a face, how can he dissect it casually without the consent of his relatives." In case it's just an accident, Zhang Zhen's relatives ask the guilt, how can I afford it? ”

Zhang Bao'er said: "Master Duan, you quickly send a letter of condolence to Zhang Zhen's relatives and ask for their consent, I will let the servant of Lantian County rush to the villa quickly!" ”

Duan Lianting said: "Even if Zhang Zhen's relatives agree, it will take at least three or four days to come and go." ”

Zhang Bao'er muttered: "Three or four days, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

Duan Lianting said with a straight face: "In any case, no one can touch Zhang Zhen's corpse without consent, even if you are a fast arrester." ”

"We follow the rules, but the peony killer has no rules." Zhang Bao'er stared at Duan Lianting and said, "Sooner or later, you will have to pay the price for pedantic. ”

……

The sky was almost dusk, the sun was like blood on the horizon, Zhang Baoer stood by the window, frowning.

Zhang Baoer can conclude that Zhang Zhen was killed, but why did the murderer kill him? How was he killed? Zhang Baoer pondered for a day, but she didn't have a clue.

"Uncle, you better eat something first!" Uncle Hua also said with a sad face.

Zhang Baoer locked herself in the room in a daze, not eating or drinking all day, which made Uncle Hua sad.

Zhang Bao'er nodded, picked up a glass of water on the table, and just put it to his mouth, but suddenly stopped, and said in surprise: "There is a way!" ”

Uncle Hua was taken aback by Zhang Bao'er, and asked inexplicably, "Uncle, what's the solution?" ”

Zhang Bao'er stood up and said, "I have a way to prove that Zhang Zhen was murdered." ”

Uncle Hua was very surprised, and hurriedly asked, "How to prove it?" ”

Zhang Bao'er said: "If the murderer drugged Zhang Zhen, in addition to the residue of medicine in Zhang Zhen's stomach, there is also a residue in that bucket!" ”

Uncle Hua suddenly realized: "Exactly, Zhang Zhenzhi poured into the bucket, the water will pour into his nose and flow into his stomach, and there will also be water flowing out of his mouth and nose, so there is still a small amount of drug residue in the bucket. ”

Zhang Baoer and Uncle Hua hurriedly came to Zhang Zhen's guest room, and at this time, there was only one family guard outside the door, and the corpse and bucket in the room were no longer there.

Zhang Baoer hurriedly asked the family: "Where did all these things go?" ”

Jia Ding replied: "Doctor Tang asked him to move these to the Xuanwu Building to the west, and then he stayed in the Xuanwu Building alone. ”

Zhang Bao'er was annoyed: "It's broken! ”

The two came to the outside of the Xuanwu Building again, and the small building was silent.

"Doctor Tang!" Zhang Baoer screamed a few times, but no one answered.

Zhang Baoer was about to push open the door, Uncle Hua drew his sword in his hand, and said to Zhang Baoer: "Uncle, let me go in first!" ”

Uncle Hua walked into the small building, but there was no one in the room. He was about to beckon Zhang Bao'er into the room, but he unexpectedly found that Tang Yiping was already lying on the ground behind the table.

Uncle Hua hurriedly looked around, and after confirming that there was no one in the building, he welcomed Zhang Baoer in.
