Chapter 192: Unpleasant
His eyes rolled and he smiled at the old lady again, "Madam, do you know that Mrs. Lan has a cousin in Lizhou!" ”
"Cousin?" The old lady frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she suddenly looked at Zhen Chutian, "You're talking about Li Zhang." ”
"Li Zhang? Who is he and what is his relationship with Mrs. Lan? "I asked Xiaoli a few times, but I didn't see her say the name of Mrs. Lan's cousin, and now the old lady is happy.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian was so interested in Li Zhang, the old lady wondered: "Can this person be related to the master's case?" ”
"That's not necessarily, I just want to know who this person is and whether he knows Xiaoli." Zhen Chutian didn't want to startle the snake, so he vaguely blurred the matter with a sloppy eye.
Xu is Li Zhang in the eyes of the old lady, but he is just a nameless, seeing Zhen Chutian say this, she didn't continue to ask, but just told Zhen Chutian what she knew.
After all, he is only Mrs. Lan's cousin, so the old lady's understanding is only one-sided, knowing that he has only come to Lizhou from the capital for a few years, this time they came back Mrs. Lan let him come to the house a few times, this time Xiaoli took him in and out, and the rest of the old ladies didn't think there was anything suspicious.
After asking the old lady, Gu Chenghan asked the old lady to send her back, and then came to Zhen Chutian, "Zhen, go find someone." ”
"Okay."
Zhen Chutian didn't want to hesitate, as soon as Gu Chenghan finished speaking, she began to walk out.
Gu Chenghan followed behind, but he seemed to remember something, so he turned to Yu Linglong and the others: "You are guarding the mansion, and you are paying close attention to the mansion, especially his dealings with the capital, and today's matter will definitely not end like this, you send someone to check if there is any change in the capital." ”
"Yes, sir." After receiving the order, Yu Linglong quickly left with the white dragon envoy.
At this time, only Song Jiang and Han Shuangyi were left in the front hall.
The two faced each other, and Han Shuangyi took the lead in shrugging his shoulders, "Brother Song Jiang, what are we going to do?" ”
"Go check the background of the dead maid and see if you can find any clues." As soon as Song Jiang finished speaking, he saw a cheerful figure coming here.
This person is none other than Nanhong, who has just arrived in Lizhou not long ago.
"Sister Nanhong, do you want to come with us." Han Shuangyi is not alienated from Nanhong at all, although he has not seen him for a long time, it can be seen that he is still a little close to others.
"Okay, my favorite in investigating the case, it's good if you don't dislike it." The period of time that followed Sai Huatuo to study medicine has made Nanhong's temperament grind a lot, and now he will not love heroes as much as before.
"Let's go."
Of course, Song Jiang has no objections, anyway, multiple people will be multiple helpers.
At this time, Gu Chenghan and Zhen Chutian had already come to the room where Li Zhang was as Xiaoli said.
This house is in tatters, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone lives there, Zhen Chutian stood at the door of the courtyard and thought for a long time, then shook his head at Gu Chenghan and said, "Did you say that there are really people living here?" ”
"Wouldn't you know if you went in and had a look?" Gu Chenghan smiled slightly, and after the words fell, he directly pulled Zhen Chutian into the courtyard.
The gate is not locked, it is opened with a light push, the yard is not big, but it can be cleaned up, thinking about it, Li Zhang is a person who has a fairly regular life, but such a person is not the same as Zhen Chutian's profile.
You must know that although she did not speculate on the character profile of the murderer when the maid died, she still speculated a little about the murderer's character, knowing that this murderer is not a very calm person, but this does not seem to be the same person as Li Zhang?
With such doubts, Zhen Chutian walked quickly with Gu Chenghan to the main house.
It's just that the more she walked in, the more nervous Zhen Chutian's heart became, and when the two of them came to the door, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
"Wait." Seeing that Gu Chenghan was about to push the door open, she called out to him.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Zhen Chutian was so nervous, Gu Chenghan's hand on the door stopped.
The two looked at each other, Zhen Chutian frowned, and pointed to the room, "It smells of dead people." ”
She had seen too many corpses before her death, Zhen Chutian had long been accustomed to this smell, and she could even smell it better than adults.
As soon as he heard the word dead, Gu Chenghan instantly raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Zhen Chutian subconsciously came behind him, the smell was too pungent, according to the smell Zhen Chutian felt that it would be at least a few days, thinking like this, she suddenly didn't dare to look at it.
It was the first time he saw Zhen Chutian like this, Gu Chenghan smiled, "What, are you scared?" ”
"No, no, I'm just afraid of seeing something unsightly." Zhen Chutian pretended to be calm and looked at Gu Chenghan.
If he still can't understand it, then he is pretending to be confused, because he didn't expose her and pulled her inside.
Suddenly, the smell in the room came to his nose, and Zhen Chutian's face became even more ugly, frowning and looking inside.
At this glance, she saw a corpse, nay, to be exact, presumed to be a corpse.
"This, is this a corpse?" Gu Chenghan himself began to doubt, and couldn't help but say such a sentence to Zhen Chutian.
Zhen Chutian nodded and took the lead in walking to the side of the corpse.
Fear of corpses is certain, of course, it is panic when you can't see it, but now that you see corpses, you are naturally not so afraid.
When he came to the side of the corpse, he looked at the unrecognizable corpse, his clothes were already in tatters, and the smell could no longer be described as unpleasant, it was simply pungent.
Just because she was afraid, she ignored the smell in the house, but now her stomach was honest, and she turned around and ran out directly.
Gu Chenghan only felt that a figure flickered in front of him, and then looked at the figure of Zhen Chutian who was no longer seen in the room, and at this moment he also smelled the stench.
The delicate facial features on the handsome face also became a little distorted at the moment, and he didn't stay longer for a moment and turned around and walked out of the room directly.
At this time, Zhen Chutian outside the house also eased up a lot, Qianqianyu smoothly stroked her chest, and when she saw Gu Chenghan on the side, a smile appeared on her face, and she shook her head helplessly, "What, Lord Gu also came out?" ”
"Zhen Chutian, why don't you tell me, this smell is too big?" Gu Chenghan couldn't help but scold.
At this time, the smile on Zhen Chutian's face became even stronger, and after his face calmed down, he took out his handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and then pulled Gu Chenghan into the room.
In this way, he couldn't smell the smell in the house, and Zhen Chutian could concentrate on looking at the corpse.
Gu Chenghan was also walking around the house at this time, the room was not big, a bed and a recliner, a table and four chairs, but the only thing that was out of place and caught their attention was the dresser.
Zhen Chutian, a woman who always goes out without makeup, recognizes this thing, and the woman in the boudoir likes this kind of bronze mirror the most.
Because of a case before, Zhen Chutian had been to the rouge gouache shop, because she had seen this bronze mirror, and the shopkeeper at that time also pulled her to sell it, but she didn't expect to see her again in such a situation today.
"This, this bronze mirror is a woman's thing, right? Li Zhang is married? Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan in confusion.
Gu Chenghan was also puzzled, looking at the courtyard of the house, it didn't look like there was a hostess.
Without waiting for Gu Chenghan to say more, Zhen Chutian concentrated on looking at the corpse, hoping to find clues from the corpse.
There was no trace of poisoning, of course, she didn't pretend and didn't know if Li Zhang was poisoned, and of course, more importantly, the two didn't know if he was Li Zhang.
According to Zhen Chutian's own thoughts, the person in front of him is Li Zhang, who was not poisoned, but was beaten to death by a blunt object on the head, and the blood stains in the house are now felt, and it seems that she has been dead for some time.
Now she desperately wants to meet Song Jiang.
"Master Gu, go and send someone to find Song Jiang."
"Don't worry, it's been sent to the carrier pigeon, and it is estimated that it will come over soon." Gu Chenghan searched in the corners of the house, but in the end he found nothing.
This Li Zhang's home can only be described as poor.
But fortunately, there is also a tile shade, so you don't live in the open air.
This death is so tragic, if it is not a murder, it is estimated that no one will believe it.
Facing Li Zhang, who died unexpectedly, Zhen Chutian had a lot of thoughts flashing in her mind, according to the scene environment, as well as the death of the deceased, she quickly made a profile of the murderer, but this profile made her a little suspicious.
Seeing that Zhen Chutian was standing beside the corpse in a daze and didn't speak, like a pillar, Gu Chenghan was a little worried, and quickly stepped forward and patted her, "What's wrong?" ”
"No, it's okay, I'm just, just got a profile." The expression on Zhen Chutian's face didn't look like he was fine.
Zhen Chutian took a deep breath, Gu Chenghan was a little nervous by her, and pulled her to sit down, "Tell me, what kind of person is the murderer?" ”
There were no traces of a fight in the house, and the deceased was killed by a blunt object from behind, which shows that the deceased knew the murderer, but the characteristics of the murderer made her doubt herself.
Li Zhang is tall, not much shorter than Gu Chenghan, how tall can this woman be fatal with one move?
This unbelievable profile made Zhen Chutian unable to say it for a long time.
But Gu Chenghan was a little anxious to wait, frowned at her, and said in a low tone: "But what's wrong?" ”
"Ah......h
Zhen Chutian's eyes were a little sluggish, he turned his eyes to look at Gu Chenghan, pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment, "According to the current situation, it is inferred that the murderer knows the deceased, yes, it is a woman." ”
"What? Woman? Gu Chenghan couldn't help but laugh directly.
Zhen Chutian was laughed at by him, and a trace of unhappiness flashed on his face, knowing that he would not believe it, but the profile she could give at this time was a woman.
One is the bronze mirror and dresser in the room, and the other is the rouge in the gap between Li Zhang's fingers.
Although she didn't like heavy makeup in the past, she still knew rouge gouache, this rouge was the rouge of the best gouache shop in Lizhou, she had seen it from the maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion before.
That day, the maid walked in from outside the house with some gouache, and happened to be seen by Zhen Chutian, the two accidentally bumped into each other, and the gouache was also scattered on the ground, she saw it, but the monthly money of the maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion should not be much, she shouldn't be able to afford such gouache, who is the gouache for?
But Zhen Chutian didn't care about it at the time, so she didn't remember what that maid looked like for a long time, and now she only remembers the taste of rouge.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian regretted it.
