……
After a while, Ye Heng and Luo Ying were summoned to the No. 1 room of the Son of Heaven together.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a corpse lying in the room, this corpse belonged to Gongsun Yang, he was still wearing the gorgeous clothes he wore yesterday in Miaoyulou, his body was a little swollen because of drowning, and his lips were blue.
"It's not ...... That Gongsun Yang? Luo Ying exclaimed.
"Not bad!"
Yan Shu nodded, then looked at Ye Heng and asked, "Hold on, do you know this person?" ”
"Recognize!" Ye Heng replied, now he knows why the official called him and Luo Ying to the room early in the morning to watch them, it turned out that something happened to Gongsun Yang!
Yan Shu deliberately asked Ye Heng: "I heard that yesterday in the Miaoyu Building, you had a conflict with this person, right?" ”
Ye Heng nodded silently.
Zhang Shixun was puzzled, and asked Yan Shu: "Uncle Tong, didn't you rule out the suspicion of persistence just now?" Moreover, he and this Luo Ying live in the same room, and the two officials can also prove that they were both at the Splendid Inn last night and had never been to Miaoyu Tower! ”
"Ouch, Lord Zhang!"
Yan Shu gave Zhang Shixun a look, and then said: "I can't fully believe the words of the two officials, you say yes?" ”
Ye Heng understood, this Yan Shu seemed to be deliberately making trouble for himself, so Ye Heng nodded, and then said: "My lord is right, but when it comes to difficult and unsolved cases, you often can't just look at the superficial evidence!" ”
"Look, he said so himself!"
Yan Shu smiled, then turned his head and whispered to Zhang Shixun: "Master Zhang, don't be in a hurry to clear his suspicions, we just use this as an excuse to let this little guy help us solve the case!" ”
Zhang Shixun is not a fool, but he didn't think of this layer that Yan Shu considered, and now that Yan Shu secretly pointed it out, he suddenly realized, and then looked at Yan Shu and snickered.
yes, why didn't I think of that?
Zhang Shixun was happy, last night he was still saying that if Ye Heng really solved the case this time, he and Yan Shu still owed Ye Heng a favor, now it's okay, if Ye Heng is connected with this case, then Ye Heng will find out the ins and outs of the case again, it will be to defend himself, and it will not be a favor for Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun!
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves!
Zhang Shixun secretly gave Yan Shu a thumbs up, Yan Shu smiled, and then said to Ye Heng: "Ye Heng! The official asked you, was this Gongsun Yang killed by you? ”
Ye Heng naturally shook his head and denied: "My lord, this Gongsun Yang's death has nothing to do with the students!" ”
Yan Shu asked, "In that case, how can it be proved?" ”
Ye Heng pondered for a moment, and then said, "Motive, my lord!" The students had no motive to kill. ”
"But yesterday many people saw that you had a dispute with Gongsun Yang, and you even won him a hundred taels of silver, and you even wrote a poem to beat him! Although you are said to be a winner and have no motive to kill, ...... What if it's for your own protection? Yan Shu grinned, looked at Ye Heng and asked, "Is it that this Gongsun Yang has a grudge against you, and then came to you to take revenge, and when you had an argument with him, he accidentally pushed him down the attic?" ”
"My lord Mingjian, the student didn't go to Miaoyu Tower at all last night!"
Ye Heng was helpless, now he knows what it means to be 'want to add to the crime', this is really an official word, what he says is what it is!
"That doesn't prove it either!" Yan Shu's face sank, and then said: "That's it, unless you can solve this case and prove that the murderer is someone else, can you return your innocence, what do you think?" ”
What else can Ye Heng think? I had no choice but to nod and say to Yan Shu and Zhang Shixun: "Student...... Do your best! ”
"Good!"
Seeing that Ye Heng agreed, Yan Shu's plan also succeeded, so he came to Gongsun Yang's corpse and said to Ye Heng: "Hold on, this is the body of the deceased, take a look!" ”
Ye Heng nodded and stepped forward to take a look.
When he first entered the door, Ye Heng actually glanced at Gongsun Yang a few more times, but he couldn't find anything on the surface of Gongsun Yang's corpse.
Ye Heng squatted down, Luo Ying next to him handed over a pair of linen gloves, Ye Heng put on the gloves, and then he grabbed Gongsun Yang's palm in his hand and looked at it, while saying to Luo Ying: "The skin is swollen, the fists are clenched, huh?" There is red paint between the nails...... Wrong! ”
"What did you find?" Luo Ying didn't continue to record, but came over.
Ye Heng touched Gongsun Yang's body, and finally touched the back of Gongsun Yang's head, and he said to Luo Ying: "Brother Luo, the deceased suffered a heavy blow to his brain before and after his birth, and his skull protruded, he should have been injured by a blunt object, and he ......."
As if he had discovered something, Ye Heng suddenly fell silent, because there were too many people at the scene, so he didn't tell all his findings, but asked Yan Shu: "My lord, dare to ask if there were any eyewitnesses when the deceased drowned?" ”
"Nope!" Yan Shu shook his head and said, "Otherwise, this corpse wouldn't have been found this morning!" ”
Ye Heng asked again: "What did the people from Miaoyulou say?" ”
According to the accounts of some guests in Miaoyulou that night, it can only be known that Gongsun Yang went upstairs with a scholar that night, and some people recognized that the scholar was called Li Yucheng! But this Li Yucheng is a floating corpse that appeared in the river behind the Splendid Inn yesterday, and he has been dead for several days! ”
"This Li Yucheng's identity ...... How can it be proven? And also...... Where is this Li Yucheng, and who else is in the family? ”
"On the body of that floating corpse, there is Li Yucheng's identity diploma, which is proved by this!"
"Floating corpses...... The deceased who suffocated in the secret room, Gongsun Yang ......"
Ye Heng muttered, is there any connection between the three? Thinking of this, Ye Heng asked again: "My lord, what is the name of the deceased who began to die in the secret room at the beginning?" ”
"Oh!" Yan Shu replied: "The identity of the deceased has not yet been ascertained. Although they all lived in this inn, according to the responses of other students, this deceased didn't seem to like making friends when he was alive, everyone lived in the inn, but he was always alone! But rest assured, the official has sent the portrait of the deceased to all counties, villages and towns in Jiangning, and I believe that his identity will be revealed soon! ”
"In other words, there are no clues now......" Ye Heng thought for a while, and then asked Yan Shu: "Dare to ask my lord, all the people in the Miaoyu Building, but they are all controlled?" ”
"Both!" Yan Shu nodded and said to Ye Heng: "You can ask whenever you want!" ”
Ye Heng said: "Adults, students are worried...... There is only a connection between these three murders. ”
"How so?"
Between the three murders, there is no place that can be connected together, so people are a little puzzled about Ye Heng's speculation.
Ye Heng explained: "The township test is imminent, but there is a sudden murder case, knowing that Lord Yan and the prefect are thoroughly investigating the case, at this time, a person with an identity like Gongsun Yang will drown inexplicably, and the murderer chooses the time to commit the crime...... Isn't that right? Or is it that the murderer was discovered by Gongsun Yang, so he deliberately killed him? If that's the case, then the murderer must have an ulterior secret, so ...... The students felt that these three cases should be investigated together and thoroughly! ”
"Well, it does make sense!"
Hearing Ye Heng's analysis, Yan Shu pondered for a moment, then he looked at Zhang Shixun and asked, "Lord Zhang, why don't you ...... How about delegating power and letting Ye Heng thoroughly investigate the case? ”
