Chapter 299: A Sudden Homicide
Chapter 299: A Sudden Homicide
"Of course, girl, your heart is not quiet, take a closer look, what is unusual about this big Mo Mansion?"
Zhao Yougong didn't seem to be cheating, and Ah Zhu couldn't help but believe it, she stared at the courtyard inch by inch, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and her face was a little more happy. She saw a well, this well was in the most luxurious courtyard to the north, and there was no need to think that this courtyard should be where Mo Qinghe and Mrs. Dafang lived. There is no problem with a well in the yard, but the problem is a little strange to appear in the small yard where the owner lives. But all the wells, are as close to the next person as possible, because it is convenient to get water in this way, and sometimes the well will be put in the south courtyard, because it is closer to the kitchen, the Mo Mansion is very elegant, and it is very beautiful everywhere, but this well is very eye-catching.
"Hee-hee, it's the well, it's the well, right?"
"Yes, you've finally grown a little, girl, you can go elsewhere now, if there is a well in the courtyard or to the south, then Qian Cai Bacheng is hidden in this well. Otherwise, we're going to have a lot of fun. ”
Ah Zhu nodded, got up and ran away, although it is very abnormal to have a well in the master's courtyard, but there are always accidents, what if Mo Qinghe is a strange person? But if there is another well, the possibility of an accident is almost zero. Because if there is another well, then this well is not used for taking water, and it is not used for taking water, what is it for, and it is clear that it has other uses?
After a while, Azhu came back, and she said excitedly, "Childe, I see it." There is a well in the kitchen on the south side. It looks like I use it a lot. Sandezi is really stupid. After staring at it for so long, it would be better for us to sit for a quarter of an hour. ”
Ah Zhu smiled a little, Zhao Yougong got up and flicked her forehead, "Okay, didn't you notice just now?" In fact, Sandezi is the same as you, but you don't have the awareness of this, you all pay too much attention to Mo Qinghe, and ignore the others. Especially Sandezi. Although his treasure hunting skills are not bad, but after all, he doesn't know much about this big family, in his eyes, the well is used to get water, and he won't think so much for a while. ”
"Childe is right, let's go quickly, when the day comes, the maid will personally lead someone to copy the well of the Mo corrupt official, and in the future, let him hold this well and drink water." Don't waste it! ”
"You girl, it's very bad!"
"Hee-hee. I learned from Childe! ”
Mo Fu and his party gained a lot, and the two of them carried out light work and returned to their residence in a blink of an eye. It's just that they don't know that when they were visiting Mofu at night, there was a bloody case in Yanshoufang.
Chen Yuanliang drank a lot of wine tonight, and he worked hard to get the map of the treasury. He didn't know what the man was doing with the map of the treasury, and he could take the treasury with the map? The treasury is heavily guarded, and you want to rob the treasury, are you crazy? The treasury shouldn't be able to do anything, why not help him for the money, besides, the money in the treasury is not his Chen Yuanliang's after all, even if it is lost, he will not feel distressed. After finally getting the map, Chen Yuanliang ran out of Hanyuanmen, on the one hand, he was afraid of being discovered, and on the other hand, he seemed to have drunk too much and wanted to come out to breathe.
After the Taiping Fang is the Yanshou Fang, after taking out the waist card at the entrance of the street, along the lì tong guò, Chen Yuanliang hummed a small song and hiccuped and walked towards the door of the house. Just when he was more than ten feet away from the alley, Chen Yuanliang suddenly pinned himself to the spot, because a fierce tiger roar sounded in his ears.
"Roar"
On the roof in front of him, there was a fierce big worm, in the dim moonlight, the big worm rose into the air, and pounced on this Chen Yuanliang, Chen Yuanliang was already stupid, and wanted to run, but his two legs did not obey the call, so he could only open his mouth and scream fiercely.
"Ahh
Early the next morning, Zhao Yougong asked Azhu to treat his wounds, and the two came to the street together. According to today's itinerary, I want to go to Liren City to see, for Chang'an West City, I have heard of it, come to Chang'an, do not experience the prosperity of Xixi City, isn't it a pity? I found Mo Qinghe's treasure last night, and I was naturally very happy to be able to take a stroll around the long-heard Liren City, although there was a big tail of Zheng Biao behind her, but it still couldn't stop her.
From Yankangfang to Liren City, it was only a few streets, but after walking for a distance, I met a thin man with a white face like jade. Seeing this person, Zhao Yougong frowned, is there something wrong? Because if something big hadn't happened, Cao Runmin wouldn't have let Sandezi come to him in broad daylight.
When they met, the thin man arched his hand slightly, "Sandezi has seen Childe." ”
"Sandezi, is there something wrong?" After Zhao Yougong asked, Sandezi nodded, he looked left and right, and after making sure that no one was paying attention, he whispered in his ear, "Childe, something is wrong, Chen Yuanliang was killed, and his subordinates have prepared two sets of official uniforms for the officials, and Cao Tongju hopes that His Royal Highness will go over and take a look." ”
"Chen Yuanliang is dead?" Zhao Yougong didn't ask much, and after signaling Zheng Biao to order the people outside the city to stay still, he led Azhu to go with Sandezi. Chen Yuanliang must have died very abnormally, there have been ordinary homicides, Cao Runmin would not be so panicked, let alone appear at this juncture.
changed into two official uniforms, pretending to be a servant under Sandezi, the two went to the prison department, Chen Yuanliang's body was placed in the mortuary, Mo Qinghe and others had already come to see it, but it was just a formality, and after two glances, they left the matter to Cao Runmin, the general judge in charge of criminal law, and the prison envoy and others. Mo Qinghe ignored it, and it was in line with Cao Runmin's wishes, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't dare to let Zhao Yougong and the others come.
entered the mortuary, lifted the cloth on the corpse, and just glanced at it, the corners of Zhao Yougong's mouth twitched, and Ah Zhu was even more unbearable, and he had already run outside and vomited. Chen Yuanliang's whole face was rotten, it looked like it was scratched by the claws of a beast, there were claw marks on his face and body, and there was a huge bite mark on his neck, compared to the traces, a cold wind swept through Zhao Yougong's head, what is such a big mouth? Not to mention people, even dogs don't have such big mouths. Chen Yuanliang's death was really miserable, but Zhao Yougong felt that Cao Runmin asked him to come, and he was definitely not to help solve the case, there must be another reason. Because if you talk about it carefully, what does Chen Yuanliang have to do with him Zhao or someone else?
After waving off the other servants, Cao Runmin pulled Zhao Yougong into a corner and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, Chen Yuanliang already got the map last night. ”
"Where's the map now?"
"This is the reason why the subordinates came to you, when we found Chen Yuanliang's body, he was already like this, as for the map, the subordinates hope that His Royal Highness will think of a way, it doesn't matter whether the case is solved or not, the important thing is that we must find Chen Yuanliang's clothes before the others in the mansion. If the subordinates were not mistaken, the map should be placed in Chen Yuanliang's robe. ”
After listening to Cao Runmin's words, Zhao Yougong finally understood why he was allowed to come, "You mean that this is what Chen Yuanliang's body looked like when he found it?" ”
"Yes, Sandezi was the first to arrive at the scene, there should be no problem!" Cao Runmin's face was very bad, he hesitated, frowned, and said, "Your Highness, do you think that someone will find out about our intentions and rush to Chen Yuanliang before us?"
Zhao Yougong shook his head lightly, "No, this possibility is very small, you look at the wound on Chen Yuanliang's body, the other party definitely didn't come to the map, it is estimated that it is also accidental." However, in case of accidents, after you go back, let your family go outside the city to take refuge, and General Niu will pick them up. ”
"Well, the subordinates will let Sandezi go back now!" At this time, Cao Runmin was still grateful for Zhao Yougong's affection, and if something happened, he could think of his Cao someone's family first, and he could be regarded as a master.
Cao Runmin went out for a while and returned to the mortuary, this time he also brought the person in charge of the autopsy, and he didn't know who the young man in front of him was, but the judge said that he would say it again.
"A few adults, a small autopsy for decades, is the first time to see such a tragic situation, look at this wound, there is still some mud on the inside of the wound, it can be seen that it is some kind of animal claw. And this bite mark is so big that it doesn't look like a dog. ”
Looking at the old man, Zhao Yougong asked kindly, "Zuo, you might be able to tell what kind of beast this bite mark is?" ”
"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, this really can't be distinguished."
After letting the servants retreat, Zhao Yougong said to Cao Runmin, "Cao Tongju, you send some people to a few towns outside the city, these hunters are coming!" ”
"Well, I'll go now" Before Cao Runmin finished speaking, he saw a servant running in in a panic, "Cao Tong's sentence, it's not good, three murder cases have also been found in Taipingfang, Guangdefang, and Tongyifang, and the victim's death is exactly the same as that of Steward Chen!" ”
As soon as he heard the words of the officer, Cao Runmin breathed a sigh of relief, and even muttered "Great" in a low voice. Cao Runmin's abnormal behavior is also understandable, although there are three more murders, but on the other hand, it also shows that the perpetrator is not simply going to Chen Yuanliang, and the possibility of rushing to the map is even more remote.
After hearing the report, Cao Runmin and Zhao Yougong quickly rushed to the scene, as Cao Runmin said before, the deceased was really like Chen Yuanliang, his whole body was stripped naked, and only a pair of obscene pants remained. In addition to the corpse, there were many claw marks on the ground, apparently left by the victim's resistance. I found a ladder and checked the roofs on both sides, and found some anomalies, one of which was broken by the tiles, and there were still some animal hairs hidden in the cracks. He put away the fur and led the men to the other three sites, all of which attacked from the rooftop, as before.
Just after noon, the official who had gone to the town led a few hunters back to the warden. Near Chang'an, there are mostly mountains, especially the Nanshan Forest Garden, which was a famous hunting ground in the Tang Dynasty. By the time of the Song Dynasty, although many places were no longer as glorious as before, there were still many hunters who made a living by hunting. Placing the four corpses on the wooden bed, several hunters looked at them one by one, and after reading them, these hunters all had the same expressions, that is, puzzlement and puzzlement.
