Chapter 11: The Worries of the Red Dress
Because it was just one person to go to Jiangning, Luo Ying just rode a fast horse, and after seeing that Ye Heng was dragging his family and four people, Luo Ying hurried to the post station to return the horse, and then returned to the inspection yamen to find a few officials, and rented two carriages over.
Hongshang and Lu Hongsleeve sat in a smaller carriage, with Hu Buxiu and Pang Tietou taking turns driving the horses, while Ye Heng and Luo Ying sat in the same carriage, and there were two officials sitting in front of them.
The reason why Ye Heng and Luo Ying sat together was because they wanted to discuss the case.
Luo Ying held the file in his hand and asked Ye Heng: "Hold on, you see the death of Li Maocai, where is the suspicious place?" ”
"Judging from the results of the autopsy recorded in the file, there is no surprise at all!" Ye Heng shook his head, and then asked, "How could a good person suddenly die?" And still die in a closed room! ”
"The dossier says that the deceased's body and limbs are twisted, and his expression is very painful, but it is not poisoned," Luo Ying said: "Moreover, the time of death was found in the middle ......of the night, and it was discovered the next morning, and it was in the inn where the candidates lived. ”
"Not bad!" Ye Heng nodded, and then said, "The suspicious place is here!" Judging from the death records, the deceased obviously suffered a great deal of pain before his death, but he did not make a single cry, if it wasn't for the deceased being covered by the murderer, I can't think of a second reason! ”
"Do you mean that the dead man was murdered?"
"Isn't it?"
Ye Heng looked at Luo Ying and asked strangely, "If it wasn't murdered, then why did Yan Xianggong and Zhang Futai transfer all of us to Jiangning?" ”
"Tut-tut......" Luo Ying suddenly smiled, looked at Ye Heng and said, "Okay, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to cope with it if you rushed to Jiangning alone, but now it seems that I was wrong!" Persistently, you are cautious and organized, where is it like a person who has just entered the public door? ”
"Uh......"
Ye Heng knew that he seemed to be a little sharper, so he quickly shut up, but fortunately, there were only two people in the carriage now, him and Luo Ying.
Luo Ying said: "However, if you want to solve the case of murder in the secret room, you have to figure out a few key points before you can start reasoning!" This time, I'm afraid that the case will not be easy to solve! ”
"Hmm!" Ye Heng nodded, but this time he learned to be obedient, and he only responded to Luo Ying, and then shut up.
When Luo Ying saw it, he smiled and said, "Why don't you speak?" Hehe...... By the way, it seems that he is also quite experienced in solving the suspense of the case, so do you know what points you need to figure out in order to solve the locked room murder case? ”
"I haven't experienced this, but I think about it......"
Ye Heng thought for a moment, and then replied: "First, the motive for killing; Second, the means of killing...... What else? ”
Luo Ying smiled and said: "The motive for killing and the means of killing are naturally very important, but this closed room murder case has a characteristic!" ”
"Chamber of Secrets!"
Ye Heng nodded, as if he had thought of something, and then said: "The doors and windows are all closed from the inside, so how did the murderer enter the room, and then kill someone and leave?" ”
"Not bad!" Luo Ying said: "This is the point, if this case is really a man-made murder, then there will definitely be some clues left in the secret room, otherwise...... Unless the murderer is a god who can go to heaven and earth, or a ghost can pass through the wall! ”
"Where in the world are there any ghosts?" Ye Heng said disdainfully, then fell into the carriage and said, "Forget it, before we see the scene and the body of the deceased, it's useless for the two of us to discuss, it's better to sleep first!" ”
After saying that, Ye Heng's eyes narrowed.
Luo Ying smiled helplessly when he saw it, and then he put away the file, stretched his waist and lay down beside Ye Heng.
In the evening, the carriage entered the Danyang realm, Ye Heng and they found a nearby inn to rest, and after an afternoon of bumps, everyone was also a little tired.
After dinner, Luo Ying originally wanted to have two drinks with Ye Heng, but Hongshang was unhappy, pouting and staring at Ye Heng tightly, which made Ye Heng a little embarrassed, Luo Ying let out a smile that all men understand, and then got up and said: "Hold on, the foolish brother will go upstairs to rest first!" ”
"Let's go up together!"
Ye Heng dealt with Luo Ying, and then took Hongsheng's little hand and said, "Let's go!" ”
Back in the room, Hongshang asked Ye Heng, "Young Master, why did Lord Luo go to Jiangning with us?" ”
Hongshang wanted to ask this sentence for a long time, but because it was different from the carriage, he never had a chance.
Looking at the appearance of the red dress, it seemed that he knew something, so Ye Heng said: "Lord Luo went to Jiangning to investigate the case!" ”
"Sure enough!" Hongshang was unhappy, and pouted and said, "Young Master, you are also going to investigate the case?" That...... What about the young master's exam? ”
"The exam won't be delayed!" Ye Heng said: "If this case is not solved, the township test will not be opened!" ”
"Huh? So strict zhòng? Hongshang became nervous, looked at Ye Heng and said, "Young Master, it won't be ...... Lord Zhizhou, they deliberately embarrassed you, right? Sister Red-sleeved said that the observation and promotion that the young master is doing now is an angry official! ”
"You're thinking too much!"
glanced at Hongshang, and at this time, Lu Hong's face poked in from the door, and Ye Heng said angrily: "What are you doing sneakily?" Come in if you want to come in, and no one wants to eat you! ”
Hearing Ye Heng's words, Lu Hongsleeve smacked him and said, "Bah, all the nonsense, I'm here to see if Sister Hongsheng is going to warm your bed again tonight!" ”
Warm the bed......
Hearing Lu Hongsleeve's words, Hongsheng's face suddenly turned into a red apple, so he glared at Ye Heng and said, "Young Master, when you speak in the future, you should pay attention to it, there is no seriousness!" ”
"Good, good!"
Ye Heng also glared at him and said, "I'm not serious, am I?" Then ignore me and go back to your room to rest! ”
"No!" "You haven't answered me yet!" ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Hongsleeve looked at the two of them curiously.
Hongshang said: "Sister Redsleeves, the young master went to Jiangning this time to investigate the case, and he also said that he couldn't participate in the imperial examination if the case was not investigated clearly!" Now that the imperial examination is about to begin, how can they do this, you say, Lord Zhizhou? ”
"You heard it wrong!" Ye Heng shook his head, knocked Hongshang's forehead, and then said, "Nonsense, how can I say that Lord Zhizhou won't let me participate in the imperial examination?" ”
"Then young master, don't you mean that?" Hongshang is really anxious, but she doesn't know how many years she has been looking forward to Ye Heng today, but now she says that she won't let Ye Heng participate in the imperial examination?
It is estimated that the girl in Hongshang now wants to find someone desperately, and she is about to cry when she sees her, so Ye Heng has no choice but to tell them everything!
"Huh? A case of murder? ”
How do you know that as soon as she heard Ye Heng's words, Hongshang was even more worried!
