Song Ruilong immediately rushed to the scene of the crime with his servants.

After Zhang Meixian examined the deceased, she said to Song Ruilong: "The deceased, in his fifties, male, was stabbed in the temple with a poisonous needle and died of poisoning. The location of the needle should be outside the window. The time of death was probably at breakfast this morning. ”

After Zhang Meixian finished saying those words, he put a plank man in front of Song Ruilong and said, "This plank man looks exactly like Zheng An, and someone has a poisonous needle on his forehead. On the table where Zheng An died, there was a very thick candle, about six times the size of an ordinary candle. The candle has not been completely burned and should have been blown out. ”

Zheng Quan said on the side: "Oh, the candle was blown out by Xiaomin, and when Xiaomin entered, the candle was still burning. But Xiaomin's brother is dead. Xiaomin was afraid that the candle would burn Xiaomin's brother, so he blew out the candle. ”

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong checked in Zheng An's room, and without finding anything suspicious, they asked Zheng An's body to be carried back to the county office.

Su Xianrong took the wooden plank man and said strangely: "It's the plank man again, the poison needle, the candle, could the murderer be the same person?"

Song Ruilong said: "The three crime scenes are all different. We found Kong Qingyun at Kong Qingyun's house that he had been stabbed in the temple with a poisonous needle through the window and died. We searched Kong Qingyun's house and found a wooden plank man of Kong Qingyun and a needle pierced in the forehead of the plank man. After testing, the needle is not toxic. In addition, I also found a candle on Kong Qingyun's table, the texture of the candle is the same as the candles of Jiang Zhenhu's and Zheng An's family, both of which are large flame-resistant candles unique to Golden Hook Casino. ”

Su Xianrong nodded and said, "The candles of this Golden Hook Gambling House appeared in Kong Qingyun's house and Jiang Zhenhu's house. This is not surprising, since the two of them are thugs at the Golden Hook Casino themselves, and it is not difficult to get their hands on that kind of candle. However, where did the candles in Zheng An's house come from? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Let's not care how the candle arrived at Zheng An's house, let's analyze the second problem, that is, the three identical things that appeared at the scene of the crime." Three wooden carved plank figures. The plank man had a needle pricked in the forehead by the deceased. Is this just a coincidence? ”

Su Xianrong said affirmatively: "This is definitely not a coincidence. That plank man was only made by Qin Weixia, and now that Qin Weixia is dead, can it be said that the murderer is to kill people? ”

Song Ruilong said: "I think Qin Weixia's death must have another reason. If the murderer wanted to kill people, he would not have killed Kong Qingyun, Jiang Zhenhu, and Zheng An before killing him. ”

Su Xianrong felt that these three cases were very complicated, and said, "Then Brother Song, you go on, what are the differences between these three cases?"

Song Ruilong said: "There are many differences between these three cases. Let's talk about Kong Qingyun first. Kong Qingyun was stabbed in the temple with a poisonous needle and died. However, Jiang Zhenhu did not have any injuries on his body, nor did he have poison needles, he died of poisoning. In the end, this Zheng An was stabbed in the temple with a poisonous needle and died. The only thing that these three cases have in common is the poisonous needle on the forehead of the plank man and the plank man. Although I can't connect the three cases right now, I believe there must be some intrinsic connection between them. ”

After Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong walked out of Zheng An's room, outside Zheng An's window, he saw a parrot.

The parrot also said to Song Ruilong: "Two or three, two or three!"

The parrot said "two, three." It will peck at the wire with its mouth inside the iron cage.

Su Xianrong looked at the cute parrot and said to Zheng Quan next to him, "Zheng Quan." Who raised this parrot? ”

Zheng Quan looked at the parrot and said, "Oh, this parrot was raised by Xiaomin's brother Zheng An." However, Xiaomin's brother has difficulty walking on his legs, sits in a wheelchair all day, and has no time to feed the parrots. So, he gave the parrot to his second son, Zheng Zhiqi, to feed. Speaking of which, this parrot was bought by Zheng Zhiqi for Xiaomin's brother, so the real owner of this parrot is Zheng Zhiqi. Zheng Zhiqi will listen to whatever he says. For example, Zheng Zhiqi said two or three. The parrot will use its beak to peck at the wire around the cage. If Zheng Zhiqi clapped his hands, the parrot would say good morning, hello Master An. ”

Song Ruilong said to Zheng Quan: "Zheng Quan, the case is confidential, let's find a place to talk about it!"

Zheng Quan brought Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong to his study, and after Zheng Quan asked them to sit down, he said: "My lord, the sound insulation effect of this study is very good, usually, Xiaomin's brother and Xiaomin will discuss anything important here."

Song Ruilong said: "This county asks you, where were you when your brother was killed?"

Zheng Quan said very calmly: "Xiaomin was arranging things with those subordinates in the backyard at that time. Last night, Xiaomin had been resting in his own home. ”

Su Xianrong said: "Does your brother Zheng An have any enemies?"

Zheng Quan said mysteriously: "My lord, forgive Xiaomin for talking too much, Xiaomin suspects that the second lady Li Junmei did it."

"Oh," Su Xianrong said, "Why do you say that?"

Zheng Quandao: "It's not a secret. The second wife, Li Junmei, and Xiaomin's eldest brother have a common hatred. Since Li Junmei married Xiaomin's brother, many unfortunate things have happened to Xiaomin's brother's family one after another. At first, it was Xiaomin's elder brother, and his legs were cut off by Tang Yushan, a robber from Qibao Mountain. Later, Xiaomin's brother dismissed the robbers of Yuelaifeng and came to Ping'an County to build this Zheng family manor. ”

Su Xianrong said: "What do you say all this has to do with Li Junmei?"

Zheng Quan said with mystery: "What Xiaomin is going to talk about next is Li Junmei. Li Junmei is a woman snatched by Xiaomin's elder brother in Lijiazhuang fifteen years ago. At that time, Xiaomin's brother Zheng An came to Lijiazhuang with more than a dozen brothers, and found that Li Junmei was very beautiful, so he wanted her to be the wife of the village, but who knows, Li Junmei did not agree, in desperation, Xiaomin's brother killed Li Junmei's parents, Xiaomin persuaded Xiaomin's brother to keep Li Junmei by his side is a scourge, but Xiaomin's brother didn't believe it, so he married Li Junmei, which is strange to say, when Li Junmei's parents were alive, she was dead or alive and did not marry Xiaomin's brother, But after Li Junmei's parents died, she figured it out. ”

Su Xianrong pondered and said, "You suspect that Li Junmei has intentions, right?"
