Chapter 078: Murder and Disappearance

The officials still couldn't find Ah Bing.

And on the night when Su Wuming and the others went to look for Cao Geng, another murder occurred in Cao's mansion, but although the murder happened in the morning, no one found out until the next day.

Wei Ying was killed, and the woman who had just become pregnant and was about to become a mother was killed.

The person who found the body was Cao Geng, and when he found out that his wife had been killed, he couldn't believe it was true, and he lay on the corpse and wept silently.

Wei Ying's killing was very weird, because she slept in the same bed with Cao Geng that night, but Cao Geng didn't even find out how she was killed, and what was even more strange was that the door and window of the room were locked, this was a closed room murder case, but it could not be said to be a closed room murder, because in this closed room murder case, there was a living person Cao Geng.

No matter who it is, at first glance at this case, you can identify Cao Geng as the murderer at a glance, because only he can kill Wei Ying in a closed room.

When Su Wuming and the others came to Cao's mansion, Cao Geng was overwhelmed with grief, because he not only lost his wife, but also lost the child in his wife's womb, and at this time, he didn't seem to realize his danger.

Su Wuming glanced at Wei Ying's corpse, and found that there was a dagger stuck in the heart of the corpse, and a lot of blood flowed, but it did not spread.

After the cause of death was ascertained, Su Wuming went to check the doors and windows again, and found that the doors and windows were intact, that is, the murderer did not escape through the windows and doors.

There was a dagger on the deceased's body, indicating that the murderer had really entered the house, but he did not escape through the doors and windows, so where did he go?

Su Wuming frowned slightly, looked at Cao Geng and asked, "You didn't hear anything last night?" ”

Cao Geng nodded again and again: "I really didn't hear anything, after I returned to the house after dinner last night, I was sleepy, and I fell asleep soon." ”

"The same is true of your wife?"

"I guess we both fell asleep not long after we lay down!"

Su Wuming unconsciously touched his nose, and then instructed the servant: "Go and ask the other people in the mansion to see if there are any other people who were very sleepy last night and fell asleep as soon as they lay down in bed." ”

After receiving the order, the official hurriedly went down, and at this time, Wen Wan'er stepped forward and asked, "Xianggong suspects that someone has drugged them?" ”

Su Wuming nodded: "Although Cao Mansion has been very busy these days, there has been a murder, and it is impossible for anyone to fall asleep as soon as they lie in bed, unless they are drugged with sweat, and the murderer stabbed Wei Ying, but Wei Ying didn't scream or struggle, indicating that she was not asleep at that time, and she may not be able to wake up at all." ”

As soon as Su Wuming finished saying this, the official hurriedly ran over and said, "Back to Lord Su, in the entire Cao Mansion, in addition to Cao Geng and Wei Ying, who fell asleep as soon as they lay down, there are also Cao Yin and Aunt Lian, and the same is true for the two of them. ”

After the official finished speaking, Nangong Yan suddenly interjected: "The two of them are the closest to here, and the murderer stunned both of them in order to facilitate the crime." ”

What Nangong Yan said seems to have a little truth, but how did the murderer leave after the killing, or did the murderer not leave at all?

Su Wuming set his eyes on Cao Geng, Cao Geng still didn't realize his danger at this time, Su Wuming frowned, he felt that if Cao Geng really could do it, then he would be too cruel, not only cruel, but even a madman.

Su Wuming looked at Cao Geng, barely having the courage to ask words that doubted him.

After sighing, Su Wuming came to the corpse again, took off the dagger on the corpse, the blood stains at the top were not dry, and there was still a drop of blood dripping after pulling it out, Su Wuming glanced at the dagger and asked, "Is this something in the house?" ”

Cao Geng shook his head: "There is no such dagger in the house. ”

Su Wuming bowed slightly, and when he was about to put the dagger down, he suddenly found that there were some more sawdust in his hand, the sawdust was very small, and it was slightly wet, although it was not much, but Su Wuming still felt it.

When he felt the sawdust, his face changed suddenly, and he immediately instructed Tang Xiong: "Go find a ladder." ”

Tang Xiong didn't understand what Su Wuming wanted the ladder to do at this time, but he hurriedly found a ladder, after the ladder was found, Su Wuming asked people to put the ladder outside Cao Geng's bedroom, and he climbed the ladder to the roof, Tang Xiong was afraid of any danger, so he shouted below: "Brother Su, why don't I come?" ”

Su Wuming didn't answer Tang Xiong's shout, he still climbed up, he stayed on it for a long time, and then slowly climbed down, and as soon as he came, Nangong Yan hurriedly asked, "Su Lang, what are you looking at above?" ”

Su Wuming smiled: "Just follow me into the house and know!" ”

Everyone looked confused, but they still followed Su Wuming into Cao Geng's bedroom again.

When everyone entered Cao Geng's bedroom again, they suddenly understood what Su Wuming meant by what he said just now, because on the top of the bed place in Cao Geng's bedroom, there was a missing tile, of course, that tile was just removed by Su Wuming.

"When I found the sawdust in my hand, I immediately understood how the murderer could kill people without entering the house, the murderer only needed to use a wooden stick to cut a groove at the bottom of the wooden stick, and then insert the dagger, after Cao Geng and Wei Ying both fell asleep, the murderer got the roof in his hand, took down a piece of rubble, and sent the dagger into the deceased's body with a wooden stick, the dagger was inserted very deeply, and when it was taken back, it was natural to separate the wooden stick and the dagger, so that a closed room murder case was also caused, and the only thing that needed to be verified, That is, whether there is a piece of rubble on the roof that is very loose and easy to take down, I just went up to take a look, and there is indeed a piece that is easy to take off, and there is a trace of movement not long ago. ”

After Su Wuming said this, everyone finally understood how the murderer killed people, but what was the use of knowing this? Who is the murderer? Why would he kill a woman who had just become pregnant?

At this time, Cao Geng still didn't realize the danger, but Su Wuming at this time no longer doubted him.

It's not very hot, when Su Wuming came outside, there happened to be a gust of wind, the wind passed, and it was no longer stuffy, Su Wuming sighed, summer is finally going to pass, and I don't know when this murder will be over.

There were dark clouds floating in the sky, a small group of dark clouds, dark clouds drifting with the wind, I didn't know if it would be floated there, Su Wuming came to the official and instructed them: "Search the Cao Mansion to see if there are any longer sticks...... Speaking of this, Su Wuming suddenly stopped, but soon ordered: "Take a look at the broken ones, go to the kitchen and ask, if there have been any very strange wooden sticks or something." ”

After receiving the order, the official hurriedly went down to work, and at this time, Su Wuming ordered someone to call Cao Yin, Aunt Lian and other people in the house, after they came, Su Wuming didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Who made last night's meal?" ”

A few people who looked like cooks walked out tremblingly, they bowed their heads and were silent, extremely nervous, Su Wuming glanced at a few of them and asked, "What strange things happened in the kitchen yesterday?" ”

Several cooks glanced at each other, and then one of them said, "Yesterday evening, a cat suddenly appeared in the kitchen, and in order to prevent the cat from stealing the food in the kitchen, several of us went to catch the cat." ”

"So you've ever left the kitchen?"

"Yes, sir!"

"So the meals of Cao Geng and the others are the same as the meals of the other people in the house?"

"It's different, the next person's meal is a big pot of rice, and it starts from scratch."

After listening to the cook's words, Su Wuming basically knew what was going on, and at this time, those officials who were looking for wooden sticks ran back one after another, they said that no suspicious long wooden sticks were found in the house, but half of the bamboo pole was found in the kitchen, the bamboo pole was still slightly green in color, and it was not dry, so it was really strange to put such bamboo in the kitchen to burn.

After the servant finished speaking, a cook lady hurriedly said: "That kind of bamboo pole suddenly appeared in the kitchen This morning, the woman found it, and there was only one left, but when I was cooking, I found that half of the stove was not burned out." ”

After listening to the words of the official and the cook, Su Wuming frowned, after the murderer killed someone, he still had time to burn the bamboo, and he was able to drug in the kitchen, which means that he is very familiar with the situation in this Cao Mansion, and may even be a person from Cao Mansion, but a person from Cao Mansion, who would think of killing Wei Ying?

And Cao Yunxing was also killed before, and the killing of the two of them must be related.

Just when Su Wuming was thinking about this, a thunderclap suddenly sounded in the sky, and then black clouds pressed down, Su Wuming looked up at the sky, I don't know when, there were so many dark clouds in the sky.

It may be raining soon.

And just when Su Wuming thought that it might be about to rain, Cao Geng suddenly screamed, and then rushed to the courtyard like crazy, and pointed to the sky, scolding the sky, he scolded a lot of words, and these words would never come out of Cao Geng's mouth under normal circumstances, thinking that he was deeply shocked, and felt that God was too unfair to him, so it would be so.

When Cao Geng scolded the sky, the sky suddenly thundered again, and then the lightning flashed with heavy rain, the wind became a little wilder, and the leaves in the courtyard fell one after another.

It was a lot darker, and in the wind and rain, Cao Geng was still scolding, but when he was almost scolding, he suddenly lay on the ground, the rain was very wild, and the ground was already full of mud.

Cao Geng's eyes were dull, and he seemed to have lost confidence in life and life.

Su Wuming sighed, and after a long time, he said, "Let's go to Gu Nianbai's private school!" ”
