042 on the water side

To Su You's surprise, the head catcher sent by Yang Er to guard him turned out to be Liu Wuzhou, which made Su You think of another person for the first time, and that person later became a door god with Qin Qiong. And Liu Wuzhou's first impression of Su You was that Kong Wu was powerful, if he gave any more comments, he might be able to add a "honest duty", but Su You couldn't see the generosity and sadness in him.

However, Liu Wuzhou was stared at by him uncomfortably, and said tremblingly, "Sir, do you have any orders?" ”

"Wu Zhou, are you Yan Zhao Nan'er?" Su You shook his head, not knowing whether to deny his question or his own. Liu Wuzhou naturally had no way of knowing, but nodded inexplicably, and said, "The humble position is the people of Hejian." ”

"How did you think of coming to the capital to be a catcher?"

"Actually, it's a long story, mainly because I killed someone by mistake in the early years, and with this layer*, other people don't dare to ask for it, speaking of which, many of my colleagues here are *similar to me." Liu Wuzhou replied slowly, in fact, Su You just unconsciously wanted to break the dullness and chat a few words, but he didn't think that he would be sad about the past.

But hearing him say this, Su You was also relieved, it is very easy for a good person to become a bad person, and it is not difficult for a wicked person to become a good person, provided that the wicked person has to be evil enough, so that he can "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground".

The two soon reached the place where the body was found, by which time the market had dispersed, night was falling, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying in the direction of their homes. When he saw Liu Wuzhou bringing Su You over, he probably knew Su You's identity, and hurriedly reported the results of his investigation to Su You in the most concise language.

Su You also got some information from his report: the head of the snowman is a woman, to be precise, it is the head of a young girl from the hairstyle, and from her face, it can be seen that this girl has been malnourished for a long time.

In addition, there is no more information.

While Su You was painting, he was thinking about the purpose of Yang Er's sending him. Obviously, this dead girl is a commoner, if no one identifies the body, it is likely that what he has to do is to hide this matter, but the limbs on the snowman are obviously from the other four people, because the women of this era are very tightly dressed, and there is no bad habit of binding feet, so it is impossible to distinguish whether it is a commoner or a nobleman from the skin and other characteristics, if he rashly suppresses this matter and is stabbed out in the future, Yang Er will inevitably fall into a charge of evading responsibility; In view of the potentially egregious implications of the case, it is clear that this matter cannot be investigated with great fanfare.

"Okay, I've made a record of the scene, you clean up the body first, and then let's analyze the murder weapon used by the murderer."

"The lowly position already had an idea, and the wound on the head seemed to be due to an external pull, and it was almost impossible for it to be man-made...... The limbs are easier to identify, and they are almost always caused by blunt objects, which means that the murderer most likely used an axe. ”

"However, the most important thing now is to find the first scene, as well as determine the time of the crime."

"I'm afraid the first scene is difficult to find, but we can ask the brothers who are in charge of patrolling this street, however, it is unlikely to get a satisfactory answer, recently because of the carnival, the curfew system in the eastern capital is very lax, not to mention that this is a civilian area, and the number of people returning at night is not known how many times more than before." Liu Wuzhou stood on the side of Su You and sighed, looking for the murder weapon, looking for the first scene, and checking the identity of the deceased These procedures are not unaware of him, but this case does not seem to be easy to start.

"Returning at night? Returning on a snowy night? Chaimen smells the dog barking? Su You chanted the poem in a low voice, and suddenly had an idea on the word "dog". "We might be able to find a dog to try."

Liu Wuzhou and Qi Zuo didn't understand what Su You was going to do, but they still did as Su You told them, and the dog did not disappoint them, after smelling the girl's head under the command of its master, it began to walk south, and after walking about a few arrows, it stopped, Liu Wuzhou and a few catchers found a small amount of blood seeping into the snow where the dog stopped, and from the distribution of the blood stains, it can be seen that it was dripping from the carriage.

"If you guessed correctly, the people were killed in a carriage, and then the murderers came to the east gate of the North City and built a snowman with their bodies. The question is, why didn't the murderer pile up all the corpses, but only use a portion of each corpse? This obviously increases the difficulty of throwing the body. ”

As soon as Su You finished speaking, the dog gave him the answer, and with the dog's footsteps, everyone found four more bodies in the ditch on the side of the road at the first scene of the crime, and when he saw the faces of the four people, Su You showed an unbelievable look.

"Sir, why don't you paint them first?" After careful examination, it was found that almost as early as the initial suspicion, all four were wounded by axes, each had a limb cut off, and died of excessive bleeding.

"No, I think, I know them." Su You's voice was a little low, how could he not recognize it? After all, they drank and sang poetry together, and that night he thought he could make him reminisce countless times, but he always made people feel like a fish in his throat when he thought of the ending, and finally made up his mind, "Wu Zhou, accompany me to Laifu." Let's take these corpses back to the yamen first, and as for the one body that has not been found, I think there is no need to be in such a hurry. ”

Everyone received the order and immediately began to put the finishing touches on it.

Su You hasn't seen Yanbei for a long time, since the last time he said goodbye to her, Su You's emotional world seems to have changed unusually, he seems to be afraid to meet her, but deep down in his heart he hides the domineering spirit of who else is besides me - such a little girl, who else can match her besides me? As for not daring to come to the door to propose marriage, this is probably a kind of inferiority complex due to status.

"Yokoba, are you okay?" When he came to Yanbei to hear Su You come to see him, he was quite surprised, and rushed out as soon as possible, as if he had never had the embarrassment of being honest with Su You that night.

"Well, what about you?" Su You smiled, and said again without waiting for her to answer, "Actually, this time I came here because of business, do you remember our banquet in the Drunken Moon Tower on the night of the Middle Yuan?" ”

"Of course, what do you want to say?" How can you not remember when you come to Yanbei? That day, she was worried in her heart but decided to face Su You with her true face, but he just said that he was here for official business, why did he talk about this private matter again?

"The little lady who drank with us that day is all dead, you know?" Su You said slowly, his eyes seemed to darken, but he didn't forget to observe Lai Yanbei's expression.

"What?" Lai Yanbei was shocked for a while, but he could only ask these two words.

"Yes, so, I want to know their identities, in the name of the government."

"They are singers on the water side, and the * of this music workshop seems to be from the Yue Guo Gong's family, I once went to play with Princess Yuerong, so I met them, and discussed music and Hengbo's poems with each other, so I ...... "The reason why Yanbei took such pains to explain to Su You is just to prove that she is not a liar."

"Well, I believe you, so I take my leave." Su You nodded, although he hoped to get along with her more, he also knew that it was not appropriate to stay for a long time at this time.

"May I go with you? …… After all, they are my sisters. Coming to Yanbei suddenly became impulsive again, as if if he said goodbye today, he would never see Su You again.

"Well, I think I can wait for you to change your clothes." Su You shrugged, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, both anticipation and excitement as if he had just gotten a new toy.

At this time, Laihu'er came in from outside, and Su You hurriedly got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, Su You, has seen the general." "They've seen each other before, but they've never crossed paths.

"Hengbo doesn't have to be polite, just now the old man has already learned your intention from Liu Zhutou, do a good job, don't let the old man down. What about Yanbei? Is she not there? Laihu'er waved his hand to let Su You sit down, but the expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful.

"She went to change her clothes, and planned to go to the yamen with the lower officials to have a look." Su You cautiously tested Laihu'er's intentions, and was relieved to see that he didn't care.

"You know, we all treat her like a baby, and maybe, sometimes she's a little bit sexual."

"This ...... What do you mean by telling me? Su You thought wildly in his heart, but he could only nod yes.

"How can anyone sell his daughter like this? Hengbo, don't believe my dad. Dad, let's go. When she heard her father explain her to Su You, she didn't know what to think, but she refuted it as a matter of course.

When Su You looked at her, he found that she had changed into a snow-white bearded shirt with a stand-up collar and a silk cloak, and for a moment he couldn't help but think of the daughters in the glass world in the dream of Red Mansions; However, what made him unbelievable was that Lai Yanbei also held a sword in his left hand, and although he was carrying Sha Mi at this time, it was difficult to hide his heroic appearance.

After the two said goodbye to the old man, they quickly went out, Liu Wuzhou saw that Su You brought Yanbei out, he had doubts but it was inconvenient to ask more, although he couldn't see through the latter's yarn at this time, but when he saw her makeup, he also knew that she was a pretty woman, and he couldn't help but be brightened, but he couldn't help but think about it, Su You had quickly given him instructions, and he hurriedly arranged it.

Su You and Lai Yanbei quickly got into the carriage, and Liu Wuzhou also quickly caught up with the horse and ran away on the water side together.
