Chapter 34 Helpless

In the city pastor's mansion, Hu Zhou saw five corpses for the first time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

All three were killed on the same day, no more than half an hour apart. This is a conclusion inferred from the corpse spots and the digestion of food in the abdomen. When the three bodies were found, they were no more than a foot apart, and there were no signs of movement, so it can already be concluded that they were killed at the same time.

The other body was recovered from the lake by a fisherman two days later.

The last one was two days apart.

Unlike dyed hair and pierced ears and torn pants that show the knees are very recognizable, in other words, Lanz's "bad guy" is not very good-looking.

The identity of the corpse was posted by the Chengmu Mansion, and the identity was finally confirmed by the person who claimed it. Coincidentally, through their Hu Mu Lu Yin, they learned that they were all Jinyue people.

So a conspiracy theory against Jin Yue went up.

If the incident is reported to the city pastor's office as soon as it happens, it may be possible to forcibly suppress or channel such remarks. But the first place where the three bodies were found was Qinglin County, dozens of miles away from Yunbian. Three lives at once, the county order Chen Lianli first thought of covering up the truth in order to cover up the truth. When the fourth corpse appeared, it was naturally too late.

The first three corpses were with each other all day long before their deaths, and they were abducted and deceived and did all kinds of evil.

The fourth corpse was addicted to gambling.

When the last corpse was met with relatives who came to recognize him, everyone knew that he had a bad habit of beating his wife.

The five corpses were all fatal with a sharp weapon, there were no extra wounds on the body, the autopsy was made by the criminal department, and Wei Yan of the Spiegel Division signed and reviewed, and there would be no mistakes.

The fourth corpse was covered in bruises, of varying degrees of severity and time, and was thought to be the work of a gambling house to collect debts. The city pastor's government later verified that this was indeed the case.

With the prosperity of trade between the east and the west, the north and the south, and the wide flow of people, only with the two points of high martial arts and good use of swords, trying to find the murderer is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

And they are all the suspicions of the Jinyue people, which is exactly what the Lanzi court is most willing to ignore and cover up.

None of these five people are good people.

If it is the city pastor's mansion that has the initiative, it can be a fictitious character who acts chivalrous and righteous, and maybe he can still have a full house.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

However, with Xu Cheng's decisiveness, he still tried to make people confess, but he entered the prison of the Criminal Department and lost his life before the trial began, and Xu Chengshi realized that he had underestimated the will of the other party.

Facing the five corpses, Hu Zhou began to understand why Xu Cheng, who was standing in front, had to ask Zhu Qian for help.

Out of the Chengmu Mansion, Hu Zhou felt that the sky was dark and oppressive, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly. The swallows are flying low, and it's going to rain.

Unlike yesterday, Hu Zhou is wearing the official uniform of the Spiegel Division today, with a dark satin robe, which makes him more and more fair-skinned and handsome.

Not daring to speak in the Chengmu Mansion, Zheng Fusheng endured a little hardship, and said as soon as he came out: "Brother Hu, where are we going next?" ”

"Where do you want to go?" Hu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling Hu Zhou's absent-mindedness, Zheng Fusheng pretended to be mysterious and said: "I heard that there is a very interesting place in the city recently. ”

Looking at his immature eyebrows, thinking that if the case did not progress, he would be implicated to some extent, Hu Zhou was a little depressed, "Even if it is today, I will go to the deceased's house, maybe there will be clues." ”

The Lake Pavilion at the end of the Imperial Palace.

The two of them, who should have been tense, sat together calmly and drank tea at the moment. The corners of the pavilion are hung with plain gauze curtains, and there are green yarns pouring out, covering the pavilion tightly. This is Princess Linglong admiring the lake, but she is afraid of being burned by the sun, so she ordered someone to hang it.

The wind lifted the corner of the green yarn.

The heat is rising in the pavilion.

From time to time, there are green plums to boil wine, but the two people in the pavilion are boiling tea. In the scorching summer, the faces of the two were steaming red, and their foreheads were full of beads of sweat.

Because it is in the middle of the lake, no third person will hear the conversation between the two.

"In such a hot weather, the imperial brother has to scald a pot of hot tea again, which is really good Yaxing." Zhu Alcohol was already fatter than him, and he couldn't stand the heat at this time, so he couldn't help but mock.

"Something to say, otherwise you think I'm willing to sit opposite you at this moment?" Zhu Rui has always been angular, but this kind of character is not necessarily good for the prince of the country. Because of this, there will be many courtiers who stand on the side of Zhu Alcohol, who has more cities. And those who have old grudges with Zhu Rui are even more unswervingly following Zhu Alcohol.

"When I was young, my brother and I used to play together, and we had a lot of fun. Brother Fangcai's words are really sad and sad. Zhu Alcohol pretended to sigh.

"There's no one else here, so there's no need to be pretentious." Zhu Rui flashed some disgust and said in a confrontation.

Both of them have sweat on their backs, and people are inevitably impetuous.

Uncovering the teapot, the boiling tea began to overflow, Zhu Rui just watched, without the slightest intention of pouring tea.

"Everyone knows that the imperial brother made a murder, but in the end, people went to Lao Jiu, can the imperial brother swallow this breath?" I felt that the underwear was already sweaty, and the uncomfortable Zhu Alcohol was no longer hiding it.

"The suspect who surrendered himself in the prison of the Criminal Department, but you killed him." Although there is no evidence, Zhu Rui is sure.

I can't swallow it, can you swallow it?

Zhu Alcohol neither admitted nor denied it, "Brother Huang plans to stop here?" ”

"The case is now on trial, what do I need to do? Solving cases is not something I'm good at, and I don't think the City Pastor Mansion will come to me for help because of this. Zhu Rui said.

"Can't be broken?"

"Naturally, someone needs to be held responsible."

"The royal brother is stumped and doesn't know, the case has been handed over to a Spiegel Si Xinding, and the case can't be solved, and the Chengmu Mansion will receive a few words of reproach at most, and nothing else."

"I only know that the man is the ninth brother's person."

"Lao Jiu will clearly abandon his pawn to protect the handsome." used the backbone of his hidden in the criminal department, that person had no hope of promotion in at least a few years, but the results were unsatisfactory, Zhu Yu was a little annoyed.

"Since you abandon your pawn and protect your handsome, you will naturally win some people's hearts and lose some people's hearts."

Butulinol microsignature. He didn't know if Zhu Rui was motivated by feelings, or if Zhu Qian might also be a contender for the crown prince, but he thought it was funny, Zhu Qian was too young after all.

What's funny may be that he is pressing step by step, which has made Zhu Rui feel unprecedented pressure and become suspicious. And that's a good thing.

As if he understood what he was thinking, Zhu Rui sneered slightly: "Since ancient times, it has been orderly, and there are different people who disturb themselves?" ”

The self-disturbing mediocrity he said naturally includes Zhu Alcohol.

……

……

Among the five people, only Fang Shu has a family.

Although there is a book in the name, Fang Shu is not a reader. He is a square man and has achieved nothing so far.

Komae Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, it was already pouring rain. The road was already a little muddy.

There are only two people who take shelter from the rain under the trees, Hu Zhou and Zheng Fusheng. Most of the villagers braved the rain to run two more steps to go home, and they did not choose to hide from the rain.

What's more, these two people are wearing official uniforms, where do ordinary people dare to approach.

The lieutenant drank at noon and still can't wake up. A group of people was at a loss. Fortunately, someone came back and said that the two officials smiled when they met people, and they looked very easy-going.

From this angle, you can only see the lush foliage of the banyan tree in the courtyard.

"Brother Hu, why don't we go in through the front gate and go around to the back door?" Zheng Fusheng was puzzled.

"Wait a while, naturally you have to enter through the main entrance."

"By the way, Brother Hu, someone was one step ahead of us before and entered through this back door, do you see clearly?"

"Really? I didn't care. ”

"Brother Hu, how long will we wait?"

Thinking of the figure of the man who had just entered, Hu Zhou said uncertainly: "It should be... Soon. ”

Thinking about the autopsy report, it's less than seven days after today, right? Hu Zhou remembered the city pastor's assessment of his wife's abuse in the column of his conduct, and he sighed with some emotion, where is there love and hate for no reason.
