"Can you find the owner of the severed finger?"

"It's Wei Mao."

"Wei Mao?"

"That's right, it's Wei Mao. The day before the incident, Wei Mao had taken leave from the shopkeeper of Yuejiang Building, saying that he was in a bad mood and wanted to go out for a walk. Since he followed the shopkeeper to the capital of Nanshu at the age of eleven, he has never taken leave. The shopkeeper and his name are master and servant, and emotionally they are like father and son. Seeing that he was really in a bad mood, he was allowed to take leave.

Wei Mao has lived in this Nanshu capital for many years, and his appearance and behavior are no different from those of Nanshu. He is an adult man, he knows kung fu with fists and feet, and he has silver on his body, so he doesn't say that he just goes out for a few days, even if he stays outside for more than half a year, there will be nothing to do. He is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble, and the shopkeeper is also at ease with him. What people never expected was that something would happen to him at this time. ”

"Where did the guys in Yuejiang Tower find Wei Mao?"

"Lei Gong Temple, about three miles away from here."

"Lei Gong Temple?"

"The people of Nanshu believe in Lei Gong, and this Lei Gong Temple is the same as our City God Temple in Dawei, which is found in almost every city. The temples are big and small, and this small one can only be dedicated to Lei Gong. The big ones, like ordinary temples, can not only offer incense, but also stay with pilgrims. The Lei Gong Temple, about three miles away, is a place that can accommodate a small number of pilgrims. ”

"Wei Mao also believes in Lei Gong?"

"No, he never went to that place, and we can't guess where he was?"

"I didn't know that he would go to Lei Gong Temple, so how did you find him?"

"Fire!" Uncle Hong looked outside: "On the third day when the cat corpse was found in Yuejiang Tower, a fire suddenly broke out in Lei Gong Temple. The fire was fierce and ignited from inside the temple. Although everyone tried their best to put out the fire, the temple was still burned down, and the servants who served Lei Gong in the temple and the pilgrims who went to worship were all dead. When the people of the government were counting the corpses, they found Wei Mao, who had the sign of my reading Jianglou on him. When the news came, we were also very shocked, and went to claim it with the people from the government. When he was sorting out Wei Mao's clothes, he found his severed finger, and then he realized why the severed finger hidden in the cat's corpse gave people a familiar feeling. That's because the severed finger hidden in the cat's corpse is Wei Mao's. ”

"What was the cause of Wei Mao's death?"

"It should have been burned to death, but in Wei Mao, we also found something else." Uncle Hong stood up and pointed towards the backyard: "Knowing that Madame would come, we didn't rush to bury Wei Mao. There is an ice room in the backyard here, and Wei Mao is lying in that ice room at the moment, and I ask Mrs. to move and help us see if our previous guess is correct. ”

Yan Suwen nodded, got up, and made a gesture of please. Then, she handed her hand to Gu Changfeng, and the couple followed Uncle Hong to the backyard ice room.

When I arrived at the ice room, I realized that this Wuyi Gang was strong, and such a large ice room, Mo said that Gu Changfeng, the prime minister, was the emperor of Great Wei who wanted to consider everything according to the specifications. What's even more rare is that this ice room seems to be at a constant temperature, although there is ice, it is not so cold that people shiver.

Before entering the ice room, Uncle Hong had already ordered someone to fetch a large coat made of fur and wrap it around his body, just to resist the cold in the ice room.

Before seeing Wei Mao, Yan Suwen imagined an honest and honest man, and when he saw Wei Mao, he realized that his imagination was a little wrong. From the perspective of modern people, Wei Mao is 1.80 meters tall and looks good, whether it is skin color or weight, it is just right.

"He's Wei Mao?"

"If Mrs. Hui is concerned, he is Wei Mao. Madame went back and forth in a hurry, and this Wei Mao was busy working in the backyard, so Madame had never seen him, so she had no impression of him. ”

"Hmm." Yan Suwen nodded slightly, then walked up to Wei Mao and examined it carefully.

He was covered in wounds, and as he lay on the ice bed, the wounds were blue and coagulated by the low temperature, and he looked even more terrible.

"These wounds—"

"We don't know where all these injuries came from. I asked the shopkeeper of Yuejiang Tower, and when Wei Mao left Yuejiang Tower, he was still fine. It's just that after two days, it became like this. To be honest, we are also very uncomfortable in our hearts. If this person is caught, my Black Clothes Gang will not bypass him. ”

"Yan Qing, do you think the wound on Wei Mao's face is a little familiar?" Yan Suwen turned around and looked at Gu Changfeng, who had been standing behind her. Nine peaches

"The female corpse that was nailed to the door of Yuejiang Tower."

"Yes, the wound on that girl's face is very similar to the one on Wei Mao's face. Well, this one is a bruise, this one is a whiplash. And here, this is the mark left by the slap, and it should be a woman who hit him. There are scratches next to the ears, like fingernails. Men generally don't have such long nails, and even if they hit someone, the force should be heavier than this. The one on the head, like a blow wound, is densely wounded, and it should be a continuous blow, but the force is controlled, and it should not kill people. ”

Yan Su asked and looked down: "Like that girl, traces of being strangled by a rope were also found on Wei Mao's neck, but the strangulation marks are not deep, and it should not be a fatal injury." There are burns on his arms, but there is no life reaction, and this piece should be caused by the falling heavy objects when the Lei Gong Temple collapsed, and it is also a postmortem injury. But these blow wounds on the arms and legs were left before death. If the speculation is correct, there are also the same blow wounds and whipping wounds on the front chest and back of Wei Mao. ”

"Madame means that someone executed Wei Mao in Lei Gong Temple."

"I don't know if it's Lei Gongmiao, but it's certain that he was beaten. Strangely, I didn't find any restraint injuries on him. Yan Su asked to look at the wrist and ankle of this Wei Mao, and after checking it, he took out a knife and cut the clothes on Wei Mao's body: "Uncle Hong said that Wei Mao knows some fist and foot kung fu, even if he encounters a villain, it is impossible to be completely unresponsive." Judging from the scars on Wei Mao's body, he voluntarily followed others, and when he was beaten, he did not make corresponding resistance and counterattack actions. That is, when Wei Mao was beaten, he was voluntary, and we can even assume that he was willing. ”

"Is this Wei Mao sick?" Gu Changfeng frowned.

"If you are sick or not, it is impossible to ask him now." Yan Suwen shook his head and lowered his body, "Old injuries, and more than one place." Uncle Hong, can the shopkeeper of Yuejiang Building physically punish them? ”

"Corporal punishment?"

"Do you beat and scold them when they're in a bad mood, or punish them when they make mistakes?"

"There are rules in the gang that it is strictly forbidden to bully and beat the gang, but this is only the gang rule. There are many people in the Wuyi Gang, and we don't dare to guarantee that there will be no situation like the one you just asked, Madame. Uncle Hong's face sank: "Madame may be sure that this Wei Mao has an old wound on his body?" ”

"These, and these, are not scars that have only been recent, but have accumulated year after year." Yan Suwen pointed to a few scars on Wei Mao's body to show Uncle Hong.

Uncle Hong glanced at it a few more times, and walked out with a blushing face.

"Madame, have you found the cause of Wei Mao's death?"

"Burned." Yan Suwen put the knife away: "To be more accurate, I was choked to death by cigarettes." ”

"Choking?"

"This Wei Spear is indeed injured, but these injuries are only flesh and skin, if he really wants to escape, it is impossible for him not to have a chance. Especially when the Lei Gong Temple was on fire, even if there were still people who took care of him, those people would flee for their lives in a hurry because of the fire. Taking a step back, even if Wei Mao didn't escape, we could find some traces of trying to save ourselves from him. But no, he couldn't see anything else on his body except for these superimposed wounds, and the postmortem wounds that had been smashed by heavy objects, and the postmortem wounds that had been burned by the fire snake. ”

Yan Su asked, bending over: "Please ask the husband to turn his body a little." ”

Gu Changfeng didn't ask, but directly moved and flipped Wei Mao.

"Stop, that's it. Husband, look. Yan Suwen pointed to Wei Mao's buttocks: "Wei Mao's shirt and pants have scars, these are left because of the beating, but there are only scars and blood stains, no ashes." ”

"Before Wei Mao died, he was sitting on the ground."

"Not just sitting on the ground, but leaning against the wall." Yan Suwen pointed to a straight blood mark on Wei Mao's back: "This is left after the blood was squeezed and dried up by the wall." You and I have all seen the Wuyi Gang, I don't know if it's because Leng Jiao herself has a habit of cleanliness, this Wuyi Gang's gang is different from the beggars we imagined. Although there are some clothes that are in tatters, they are very clean, and their behavior is also well-behaved and exquisite. Other beggars, in order to make themselves look more pitiful when begging, will lie on the ground and kowtow to the begging, but the members of the Wuyi Gang just sit in a regular manner, and when they get up, they will subconsciously tidy up their clothes and pat the dust on their bodies. ”

"Madame's observation is meticulous."

"Because it's so weird." Yan Su asked, sticking out his tongue slightly: "I still remember when I first arrived in Yecheng, I asked Errong and them to lead me out shopping, and I met a group of beggars who were begging at a lively street entrance. No, not a group, but two. One of them, like flies, surrounded the begging people, with a hint of banter in their eyes, and although their faces were feigned with pity, their emotions were mocking. It's as if to say to those who are begging, be fooled, come to me. The other wave is very stylish. Although they are also dressed as beggars, they sit quietly on the side, and if you don't come to me, I won't look for you. You give me alms, I nod and thank you, you don't give it to me, I don't force it. I thought that wave of beggars was so cool. ”

"Cool?"

"It's very different, very special." Yan Suwen explained: "Later, I learned that those beggars who are sitting, whether you give it or not, belong to the Wuyi Gang. Because the Wuyi Gang had their own industry, begging was just a way for them to live, not a necessity for survival. They sit there, seemingly waiting for alms, but in fact they are observing people's hearts, and by the way, they are looking for all kinds of information and information they want to get. ”

Yan Su asked and looked at Wei Mao: "The person who can be brought to Nanshu must not be a general person who is just a simple kung fu person as Uncle Hong said, this Wei Mao must not be simple." But such a person who is not simple, but he simply died, there is a problem here, and it is still a big problem. Uncle Hong, he must have something to hide. ”
