At the end of the hallway, a group of people surrounded the door of a room and pointed, and from time to time there was a burst of women's cries.

At this time, Xiao Er happened to pass in front of him with an anxious face, Li Canghai grabbed him and asked, "Xiao Er, what happened, why is there crying?" ”

The little second had just come up from the stairs and said breathlessly, "Guest officer, dead, dead...... I just went to report to the officer, and I rushed back. ”

Hearing the dead man, Li Canghai's nerves immediately tensed, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he walked towards the guest room.

This inn is divided into two floors, and there are ten guest rooms on each floor, according to the order, the room where Li Canghai is located belongs to the sixth, and the dead man's room is at the end, which belongs to the tenth.

Hearing that there was a murder, the guests of several rooms came over to join in the fun.

Li Canghai squeezed through the crowd and then walked into the guest room.

There are three people seated in the room, two men and one woman.

Two men, one of whom was the innkeeper, and the other was wearing a scarf and dressed as a Confucian scholar.

And the woman's face was beautiful, as beautiful as a peach blossom, but she was quite beautiful, and she sat on the chair and cried bitterly.

In the guest room, the most striking thing is a corpse lying on the bed.

The corpse appeared to have been stabbed in the chest with a sharp blade, and large expanses of blood flowed from the chest, staining the bed a blood-red color.

Murder!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that this is a murder case.

"Guest officer, this is the scene of the murder, don't enter casually!" When the shopkeeper saw him enter the house, he hurriedly stopped him with a gloomy face.

When opening a store, he is most afraid of encountering murder by dead people and the like, which will not only lose business, but also cause a lot of trouble, and he naturally does not want more people to get involved.

Li Canghai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the shopkeeper, I am the master of Luoyang Mansion, and I have come to check it out when I see that there is a murder here." ”

When the shopkeeper heard him say that he was the master of Luoyang Mansion, his eyes suddenly lit up, as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, and said excitedly: "It turns out that the master is here, can you take a look at what is going on?" The small shop has been open for more than ten years, but there has never been a murder! Now, someone has died tragically in the shop, which makes the shop do what to do in the future! ”

The shopkeeper's face was crying, and he almost didn't cry.

Li Canghai glanced at him, now that his life is at stake, he is still thinking about his own business.

After despising the shopkeeper fiercely in his heart, Li Canghai immediately observed it carefully in the room.

Although the shopkeeper is a little snobbish, he also knows how to protect the scene, except for a few people, the scene has not been damaged much.

After letting a few people move elsewhere, Li Canghai walked to the corpse.

The deceased was a man of about forty years of age, slightly chubby, and judging from his clothing, he should have been a businessman like a rich man.

There was an inch-wide wound on the deceased's chest, the blood from the wound had coagulated into a purple color, and this wound hit the heart, apparently a fatal wound that led to the deceased's death.

Li Canghai had a preliminary judgment in his heart, and then he looked around.

This room is similar to the other rooms, divided into two rooms, the outer room for meeting and the inner room for the bedroom.

Just as he was looking around, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the door.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, the yamen will handle the case, and the idle people will avoid it quickly!"

With a burst of shouting, several officials quickly rushed into the room, followed by a man who looked like a headhunter came over.

"This is the scene of the murder, who are you and who allowed you to come in?" When the catcher saw that there was someone in the house, he was stunned for a moment, and then shouted.

"Lord Catcher, you took so many people and recklessly broke into the scene of the murder, won't it cause damage to the scene?" Li Canghai saw that the catcher was walking in the room without care, and he was suddenly a little angry, and his voice instantly raised a lot.

The man snorted, he looked at Li Canghai, and suddenly said with disdain: "What are you?" This is the first to arrest the head to investigate the case, do you still want to teach it? ”

Li Canghai's brows suddenly wrinkled, this kind of reckless man, I really don't know how he was promoted to head catcher, Li Canghai wanted to point at his nose and jump up and scold, but thinking that this was not Luoyang City, he still endured it.

"Oh, then dare to ask Lord Catcher, what do you think of this murder?" Li Canghai didn't bother to argue with him, so he asked lightly.

The head catcher only glanced at the scene, and then said in a conclusive manner: "According to the opinion of the head catcher, someone must have robbed the house and killed someone by mistake." ”

"What credentials do you have?" Li Canghai touched his chin and asked.

"It's not simple, you see this house is messy, there are obvious signs of someone turning it over, not to mention that there is a hole in the back window. I speculated that it must have been a burglary, and the deceased happened to encounter it, so the two had a fight, during which the thief mistakenly killed the deceased with a sharp blade, and then jumped out of the back window and fled the scene. ”

The head catcher seemed pleased with his assumption, and he immediately sent him to the backyard to investigate.

Li Canghai couldn't help but feel a little funny, this inference is simply full of loopholes, he can still say so much, this person's IQ is worrying!

The head catcher found the sneer on the corner of Li Canghai's mouth, and he was suddenly a little angry, and he said with a cold face: "You seem to disagree with the inference of this head catcher?" ”

"It's not that I don't agree, it's just bullshit." Li Canghai didn't even have the strength to refute, and said directly.

"Humph! Do you dare to say that Ben's inference is wrong? Unless you give me a reason, this arrester will take you back to the yamen for the crime of obstructing official business! Seeing that Li Canghai didn't give him any face, the head catcher shouted angrily.

Li Canghai glanced at him and said lightly: "First of all, the murderer can't be a thief, although the money bag on the deceased's body is missing, the jade wrench finger on the deceased's hand has not been removed. If it is for money, it will never be such an obvious treasure to steal a bunch of useless silver tickets. ”

"How do you know the murderer won't steal the silver ticket?" The head-catcher was unhappy.

"If you want to use the silver ticket, you have to go to the money bank to exchange it for silver taels. The minimum denomination of a silver ticket is one hundred taels, and according to the Datang commercial law, any exchange for one hundred taels must be recorded. If you were a thief, would you risk being found out and change money? Li Canghai glanced at him and sneered.

"How can you be sure that the money bag is not filled with cash, but with a silver ticket?" The catcher was stunned for a moment, thinking that what he said was very reasonable, but he felt that his face was gloomy like this, so he asked.

"The deceased was a businessman, and it is not difficult to see from these scattered ledgers that he came to do business this time. Judging from the deceased's outfit, he must have come to make a big deal, and since it was a big deal, and there was no box of silver, it is conceivable that the money bag contained only silver tickets. With such an easy-to-understand reasoning, didn't Lord Headcatcher find out? ”

The catcher was choked by these words, and after a long while, he snorted: "Even if what you say makes sense, but there is such chaos in this room, how can you explain this?" ”

"I checked the scene, and although these things were staggered, there were no signs of a fight. Combined with the fact that the deceased's money bag disappeared, I think this should be deliberately done by the murderer, in order to make us think that this is a case of murder for money. Li Canghai pondered for a moment and said very firmly.
