Chapter 119: Back Injury
There was a murder in the dance hall, and after a short period of silence, the whole dance room suddenly became panicked, and some guests rushed out of the dance room.
But at this time, Qian Sheng suddenly stood up, when he stood up, the officials behind him had already rushed up, Qian Sheng stood on the chair, looked at the guests and shouted: "Don't move, whoever dares to leave the dance workshop will be arrested immediately." ”
Qian Sheng is the county magistrate of Qiantang County, his words are much more effective than Su Wuming's, as soon as his words came out, everyone didn't dare to rush outside, and they returned to their respective seats, talking about it, saying that today is really unlucky.
Some of the officials guarded the door, while Qian Sheng took another part of the officials to surround the corpse, Su Wuming, Ding Wei and others came down from downstairs and went straight to the corpse.
This incident was something they didn't expect, they thought that this Rong Rong girl was suspicious, so they came here to monitor him, and if possible, they would listen to some news, but what people didn't expect was that there was a murder here.
Su Wuming came to the corpse for an examination, and after the examination, he got up and said: "The deceased's lips are purple and bleeding from the seven orifices, so he should have died of poisoning." After saying this, Su Wuming used the silver needle to test the wine glass on the deceased's table, only to find that the silver needle turned black.
In other words, the deceased was poisoned by the glass of wine on the table.
After checking these, Su Wuming's brows condensed slightly, as if thinking about something, at this time, the fat aunt ran down from the stage, she was fat and even flickering, making people feel that it was a lump of meat rolling down from above.
Outside the encirclement of the officials who came from Aunt Fat, she said nervously: "Master Su, this is ...... It's none of our business, this ......"
Aunt Fat's words were not finished, because Su Wuming beckoned to her and ordered the servants to let her in, and after Aunt Fat came in, Su Wuming asked, "This wine is served separately?" ”
"No, it's all from the vat, it's all the same!"
"The wine was served before the guests came?"
"That's true, after all, there are a lot of guests tonight, and it's late, so it's easy to make guests anxious!"
Su Wuming only asked these two questions, and then he looked at the woman beside the deceased and asked, "What is your relationship with the deceased?" ”
The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and the crying pear blossoms brought rain, and said: "The little woman is the concubine of the deceased, and she came here to watch the song and dance tonight, but she didn't ...... Unexpectedly, the old man was poisoned to death. ”
"What is the name of the deceased, and what is your name?"
"The old man's name is Gu Chen, and the little woman's name is Yingying."
"What did the deceased do?"
"The master has quite a bit of an industry, so he doesn't do anything fixedly, and he usually does what he likes."
After Ying Ying finished speaking, Su Wuming, who came to Qian Shenglai, came forward and said: "Master Su, this Gu Chen Xiaguan has heard that he migrated to Qiantang County five years ago, and after he came, he was very silent, but a year later, he immediately bought a mansion, and then he didn't do anything. ”
After listening to Qian Sheng's words, Su Wuming felt that this Gu Chen was a person who was very good at enjoying life, but he was generous, and then he tended to be low-key, what was going on, and what happened to his killing?
This question could not be answered for the time being, Su Wuming looked at Ying Ying and continued to ask, "You booked this seat earlier?" ”
"No, after my lord and I came in, one of the servants of the Dance Workshop led us to this table."
"Has anyone ever been near your table during this time?"
"No, not one!"
Su Wuming nodded slightly, and then said to Aunt Fat: "Call all the people in the Dance Workshop and let this Yingying girl recognize it." ”
Aunt Fat was very nervous, and after nodding her head again and again, she hurriedly ran to call someone, and at this time, Su Wuming continued to ask, "What enemies does Gu Chen have?" ”
"No, absolutely not, my lord doesn't usually interact with people, how can there be enemies."
"Who else is in the family?"
"The lord didn't marry a wife, only two concubines, and the sister was supposed to come together today, but she suddenly felt unwell, so she didn't come with her."
"Have you ever had a drink?"
"Drink!"
"But you don't have anything to do!"
As soon as she heard this, Ying Ying trembled, and suddenly knelt down and said: "My lord knows that the little woman has indeed drunk, but as for why the little girl is fine, the little woman is not clear." ”
Su Wuming bowed slightly, and said, "You get up, Lord Ben didn't say that the murderer was you." ”
When she said this, Aunt Fat rushed over with the subordinates of their dance workshop, and those subordinates stood in a row for Yingying to find, but she looked around, and finally shook her head: "There is no one!" ”
After hearing Ying Ying's words, Qian Sheng suddenly snorted coldly at Aunt Fat: "The subordinates of the Dance Workshop have all been called? ”
"Back to the adult's words, they are all called, and there is no shortage of one!"
"Then why didn't you lead Gu Chen and them to this table?"
"Maybe that person isn't from our Dance Workshop!"
The matter was already very clear, Qian Sheng wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Su Wuming, he ordered someone to carry the body of the deceased back to the county office, ordered the official to guard the dance workshop to register the guests who arrived today, and then ordered Ying Ying to tell the appearance of the person who led them, and after such an explanation, he left the dance workshop with Ding Wei and others.
Tonight, when the moon was full, when they left the dance workshop, the whole night was unusually bright, and the wind blew the elegant room, as if it was a painting, but everyone's faces were not very good-looking, so they had no intention of admiring the moon.
On the way, Ding Wei looked at Su Wuming and asked, "What does Master Su think of this?" ”
"Back to Lord Ding's words, from the clues we have now, the deceased Gu Chen was poisoned and died, so the following situations can be speculated, first, the poisoner is a person we don't know, the poison has already been prepared, but the poison is not in the wine, and on the wine glass, he led Gu Chen and Ying Ying to a specific table, as long as Gu Chen used the poisoned wine glass, he would definitely die; Second, the person who poisoned was Yingying, the two of them sat together, and no one approached them during the period, so only Yingying had the opportunity to poison, as for who the murderer was, I am afraid that it would be known after further investigation. ”
After Su Wuming's analysis, Ding Wei nodded: "I really didn't expect that we came here to investigate the theft of Ali's body, but we encountered a murder, Master Su, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”
Su Wuming shrugged: "I'm afraid it won't be a coincidence." ”
"Oh, how so?"
"It's just a feeling, but after returning to the county office, we can immediately know if this is a coincidence."
The night is deeper, the wind is cool, there are autumn insects chirping on the streets, and the moonlight shines on the quaint streets, which is so clear.
After returning to the county office, Su Wuming immediately ordered someone to take off Gu Chen's clothes, and he wanted to check Gu Chen's back.
It seemed a little abrupt for him to do this, but everyone didn't say anything, because they understood that if Su Wuming felt that there was a connection between the two cases, he would definitely check the back of the deceased Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's clothes were all taken off, and the official turned the body over, and when everyone saw Gu Chen's back, they couldn't help but sigh, because Gu Chen's back had a large scar, and the scar should have been left a few years ago, a large one, which seemed a little scary on such a night.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Ding Wei said, "What does this mean?" ”
"Lord Ding, this Gu Chen's back has a scar, and that Ali's back has been skinned, we can guess that there must be some connection between these two people, and there must be some secret hidden on their backs, the scar on Gu Chen's back seems to be burned, and it was burned by himself, so I guess it may be that he himself wanted to destroy this secret, so he did it."
"And what about Ali?"
"He died of illness, but his body was stolen because of the secret on his back, and if we could know what was on their back, we might be able to find out what was going on in this case."
Everyone naturally understands this truth, but now that Ali and Gu Chen's backs no longer exist, how do they know what they have on their backs?
The night was deeper, everyone left the county government one after another, Ding Wei and Zhuge Kong went to the post house to rest, Su Wuming and Tang Xiong and others went back to their homes, on the way, Su Wuming did not say a word, and his heart was quite heavy.
Seeing that Su Wuming was like this, Nangong Yan didn't dare to ask many questions in her heart.
But after returning home, Su Wuming suddenly said to everyone with some excitement: "If you are not sleepy, why don't you go to the living room and sit?" ”
Now that they have just experienced a murder, they are afraid that they can't sleep even if they are sleepy, so after everyone nodded, they went directly to the living room.
After sitting down in the living room, Su said, "We don't know what is on the back of the deceased now, so why don't you guess what it is?" ”
On the way back, everyone was guessing what it was, and now that Su Wuming had brought it up, everyone naturally said their thoughts.
"I think it's supposed to be a treasure map, a map divided into several parts, put together to find the treasure."
"It may be a secret to prove their identity, let's think about it, why did Gu Chen destroy the things on his back, didn't he just want others to know his identity, he lived in a simple place, and this was also for him."
"It could be a few lines of poetry, and there is a secret ...... in the poem"
……
Everyone said all the thoughts in their hearts, and after saying that, the moon was already in the middle of the day, and everyone was sleepy, so they no longer discussed who said the most likely, and went directly to the room to rest, and there was nothing to say all night.
