Chapter Sixty-Nine: Cuttlefish Juice
Wang Hui's originally serious face eased a lot because of this scene, and said with a slight smile: "It's okay, you can come over quickly." With that, he "drove" and rode his horse to chase Shao Shoutie, and the officers and soldiers behind followed closely behind the horse with good training, and also headed west together. Li Zhuoran turned back to Zhao Qingzhou's government army and said, "Don't laugh, you guys go with you." "The most anxious people have been left behind.
When Li Zhuoran led the horse and carried Aunt Zhu to Leye Fang, I saw that the crowd was gradually gathering in one direction, and I didn't know what was attracted. Aunt Zhu was riding on a horse, her field of vision was wider than Li Zhuoran, and she saw at a glance that the place surrounded by everyone in front of her was Rong Zhizhai, and she hurriedly shouted: "Li Gongzi, have you seen it, the place where everyone is surrounded is Rong Zhizhai." ”
Li Zhuoran hurriedly tied the horse to the tree on the side of the road, and said while helping Aunt Zhu down: "It seems that something really happened, let's go over quickly." The two of them hurried over, Zhu Damiang stretched out a pair of round and jade hands to push away the crowd, and shouted "borrowed" to open the way for Li Zhuoran, and the surrounding officers and soldiers saw Li Zhuoran and hurriedly put him in and stopped Zhu Damiang behind. Li Zhuoran saw Shao Shoutie and Wang Hui standing on the steps of Rong Zhizhai, their faces were extremely heavy.
"Lord Wang? What's the situation? What about longsails? A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in his heart. Wang Hui glanced at him and said, "Zhuo Ran, go in and have a look." Li Zhuoran jumped up the steps and walked into Rongzhizhai. It's a boxy shop, and in front of it is a cabinet full of goods. At the back is a small door, which presumably leads to the shopkeeper's bedroom. As soon as Li Zhuoran stepped in, a fresh bloody breath suddenly rushed to his face.
Changfan sat slumped on the ground, splattered with blood. He seemed to be greatly frightened, and when he saw Li Zhuoran coming in, he couldn't get up after a few tries. Shao Shoutie said behind Li Zhuoran: "When I came, Changfan was like this. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper were all killed behind the counter. Li Zhuoran hurriedly walked to the counter and looked inside: there were two corpses lying on the ground, their throats had been cut, both of them had just died, and their bodies were not stiff.
"Longsail." Li Zhuoran was stunned by the scene in front of him, he took two steps back, squatted down and asked Changfan, "Who did this?" Changfan opened his mouth, unable to speak, only raised his hand and stretched out three fingers. "Those three people did it? Did you see that? What about them? Li Zhuoran shook the long sail and said. Changfan nodded, trying to focus his eyes on Li Zhuoran's face, and then looked at the door behind the counter.
"Zhuo Ran," Wang Hui patted him on the shoulder: "Changfan is frightened, let's ask later, the murderer should have run away from the back door, and the official has already sent someone to chase him." Li Zhuoran punched out of thin air and said, "It's still a step too late." At this time, Shao Shoutie unfolded his fan, covered his mouth and nose and came to the back of the counter, and squatted down to check. Wang Hui hurriedly said: "Thin iron, I have already sent someone to the government to call him to do it, don't touch it." ”
Shao Shoutie turned around and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, I'll just take a look." Li Zhuoran stood up and said: "In my opinion, someone must have bought off the shopkeeper Rong and used fake ink to harm Qingzhou, and that person's eyeliner saw that we had captured Aunt Zhu, thinking that the matter was exposed, and he was afraid that we would arrest the shopkeeper Rong and ask something, so he killed him first." Shao Shoutie put away the fan and said: "Zhuo Ran is the same as I thought, it's just that Lord Zhao's case has too many coincidences to make people understand." ”
Wang Hui asked, "Thin Tie said let's listen to it, what a clever method." "Shao Shou Railway: There are too many people here, and it's a long story, so let's wait for the corpse to be examined before returning to the mansion. Zhuo Ran, you ask Aunt Zhu to come over and take a look, what kind of ink was used in Qingzhou that day, I'm afraid only Aunt Zhu can recognize it at the moment. Li Zhuoran looked back at Wang Hui, Wang Hui understood, walked to the door and pointed at the officers and soldiers, Zhu Damiang, and said, "Let her in." ”
Aunt Zhu walked over with her head held high and said, "Lord Wang, you called me." Wang Hui nodded and said in a low voice: "You come to identify the ink strips, which one is the problematic kind, remember, the scene inside, don't go out and tell anyone." Aunt Zhu nodded again and again: "The villain doesn't dare." Wang Hui leaned sideways and let Aunt Zhu walk in. Aunt Zhu saw Changfan sitting on the ground at a glance, and said in surprise: "Brother Changfan, why are you sitting on the ground, this is a ——? on you ”
When Changfan saw Aunt Zhu, he raised his head and said, "Auntie, don't go over, there is a lot of blood." Aunt Zhu lost her voice and said: "What's the matter, I passed by here at noon, and the shopkeeper Rong greeted me." Li Zhuoran said: "Aunt Zhu, come and take a look at the ink block." After all, Aunt Zhu is old and has seen the world, and she was not frightened by the smell of blood in a room, she walked to the counter, tried not to look at the corpse behind the counter, looked at the ink strip carefully, and pointed a few words: "There is no carved wooden box, it's really hard to recognize, these are a bit similar." ”
Li Zhuoran stood on tiptoe to the counter, so that his shoes would not be stained with blood, and took out the several points pointed out by Aunt Zhu and said, "Take a closer look." Aunt Zhu took it in her hand to distinguish it, sniffed it again, and said: "It's not, although the color is similar, but there is a kind of ink in these inks. Balls.. She searched for the right words in her mind, "There is a kind of book fragrance in the old man's study, but in the wooden carving box of the shopkeeper of the day, there is a kind of watery smell." ”
When Shao Shoutie heard this, he stepped forward and asked, "What is the smell of watery smell?" Aunt Zhu raised her head and thought for a while, and said: "It's the smell of fish and shrimp in the river, fishy, but not strong." Shao Shoutie nodded and said, "Sure enough, it's this." Li Zhuoran heard that Shao Shoutie seemed to have an idea, and jumped out from behind the counter: "Brother Shao, what is it?" ”
Slender Railway: "I once heard a friend in the rivers and lakes mention that there is an ink made of the juice in the cuttlefish ink sac, which is like real ink after writing, but after a while, the ink will fade and leave no traces." ”
