Chapter 22: Zhang Sanlang, a servant

"Why do you say that, sir?" Li Yuanfang heard Di Renjie's whisper and asked curiously!

"It's just a gut feeling!" Di Renjie explained!

Bang Bang Bang!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside the house, followed by a man's loud voice!

"Dad, mother! Open the door! ”

"Yo! My son is back! The old woman was pleasantly surprised!

"Then why don't you go and open the door for your son!" The old man urged!

The old woman did not answer, but trotted to open the door!

"Mother!"

"Hey! Saburo, why are you back? ”

"Yamen rewarded some rice and noodles today, and it just so happened that I wasn't worth it, so I hurriedly sent it back to you!"

The conversation between the mother and son in the courtyard came in, Di Renjie smiled when he heard it, and thought to himself, "It seems that he is still a filial son!" ”

"Yo, there are guests at home?" As soon as the man entered the door, he saw Di Renjie and his party!

"Hmmm! It's a passerby, and it's staying at our house! The old woman replied!

"Oh mother, didn't I tell you? This has just happened, why do you still let people stay overnight? The man who was called Saburo by the old woman suddenly had a displeasure on his face!

Di Renjie looked at the man in front of him, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a high nose bridge, thin lips decorated with short beards, wearing a military uniform, and black velvet fast boots, looking heroic!

"San Lang, Mr. Huai is Lang Zhong, don't be rude!" The old man said angrily!

"Hahaha! Anyway! Ling Lang also cares about the safety of the second elder! This is my official guide, please take a look at it! Saying that, Di Renjie took out the paperwork and handed it to the man!

The man took the paperwork, and after carefully examining it, Shi Li said: "Mr. Huai, it's abrupt!" In the next Zhang Saburo, I have seen Mr. Huai! ”

Looking at Zhang Sanlang, who had become polite at the moment, Di Renjie smiled and nodded!

"What a tolerance! The three of my master and apprentice went to the house to spend the night, and there was a lot of disturbance, Ling Zun, and Ling Tang had a lot of hard work, and I am really grateful! Di Renjie said!

"Mr. Huai doesn't have to be polite, just call me San Lang, it's all the murder a few days ago, and now people are panicking, especially when I'm still on an errand at the yamen, and I'm not with my parents, so I'm inevitably too nervous!" Zhang Sanlang said apologetically!

"Well, it can be seen that San Lang is indeed a dutiful son!" Di Renjie couldn't help but praise!

"Mr. Huai has won the prize!" Zhang Sanlang scratched his head a little embarrassed and said!

"By the way, San Lang, you said the murder a few days ago, but the murder of the Zhang Fu family?" Di Renjie asked!

"How does Mr. Huai know?" Zhang Saburo asked in surprise!

"Oh, it was Ling Zun who just talked to us! Although I am a Langzhong, I am interested in this investigation and judgment, so I can't help but be curious to ask you! Di Renjie said!

"Oh, that's right! What Mr. Huai said is good, what I just said is the murder of Zhang Fu's family! Zhang Saburo said!

"I wonder what Saburo thinks about this case?" Di Renjie asked!

"Alas! Poor thing! Mr. Don't hide it, I grew up with that Zhang Fushu since childhood, he has only been married for less than three years, who wanted to be kind enough to take in passers-by for a while, but he lost his life because of it! That passerby is really damned, people are kind enough to take him in, but he has bad intentions towards other people's wives! What an unforgivable sin! Zhang Sanlang said indignantly!

"If it's true as you said, that passerby really deserves death, can that passerby know his identity?" Di Renjie asked!

"What a coincidence that Mr. asked, we don't know what the identity of the passer-by is, we searched Zhang Fu's house, and we didn't find the official guide of the passer-by, I really don't know how he passed the check!" Zhang Saburo said!

"Oh? Don't have an official guide? This is out of the house, without official qualities? Could it be that he only walks on mountain paths and never goes to the official road? It should be someone from the vicinity of this county? Di Renjie asked!

"No, after the incident, my grandfather asked us to notify all the townships under the rule of this county, and they didn't know this person!" Zhang Saburo said!

"Oh, yes, is there any other evidence at the scene?" Di Renjie asked!

"There are three corpses at the scene, a suicide note from Zhang Li's family, and a murder weapon that Zhang Fu committed suicide with, which is Zhang Fu's own kitchen knife!" Zhang Saburo said it one by one!

"I want to go to the scene to take a look, I wonder if Saburo can be accommodating?" Di Renjie asked!

"Does Mr. Huai think there is anything wrong with this case?" Zhang Sanlang asked a little puzzled!

"Well, it's hard to say yet, but I always feel that this case is not as simple as we imagined! First of all, there is a lack of witnesses in this case, if Zhang Fu fights with the passerby, or even the passerby is beaten to death, there is no reason why the neighbors around him can't hear the sound? Secondly, I heard Ling Zun say that Zhang Fu didn't even dare to kill chickens, but he ended his life in such an extreme way, which really doesn't make sense! Di Renjie analyzed!

"What Mr. Huai said is reasonable, we have thought of these before, but the evidence at the scene is enough to conclusively settle the case, and we have not delved into it, since Mr. Huai wants to go and see, then I am willing to accompany him!" Zhang Sanlang hugged his fists and saluted!

Hearing Zhang Sanlang say this, Di Renjie was very happy, and followed Zhang Sanlang out of the door, Li Yuanfang naturally wanted to accompany him, Mo Qingfeng was not interested in investigating the case, so he stayed at Zhang's house to rest!

Zhang Fu's house was not far from Zhang Sanlang's house, and soon the three of them came to the gate of Zhang Fu's house with lanterns!

The courtyard is similar to Zhang Sanlang's house, the adobe courtyard wall is not very high, if you are not short, you can see the situation in the yard if you look up slightly, and now it is completely dark, probably because there has been a murder, and the courtyard without the palm lamp looks particularly gloomy and terrifying!

Di Renjie raised the lantern and looked at the courtyard gate of Zhang Fu's house, the color of the gate had long been mottled, and the original color could still be seen vaguely, in the night, the closed courtyard gate also looked lifeless!

"Shall we go in and have a look?" Di Renjie said!

Because the owner has passed away, the courtyard door is not locked, and like this kind of murderous mansion where three lives occurred, people who know it will definitely not come easily, Zhang Sanlang pushed it gently, and the door opened!

Flutter Flute ...... Quack, quack, quack!

The sudden opening of the door alarmed a group of crows perched in the courtyard, and it seemed to let out a wail of dissatisfaction!

"Sir, be careful!" Li Yuanfang vigilantly protected Di Renjie!

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! I think it's the bloody breath in this courtyard that has attracted this group of crows, let's go inside! Di Renjie said calmly!

Looking at Li Yuanfang, who was full of vigilance, Zhang Sanlang's face seemed to have a strange look, but it quickly returned to normal!

"San Lang, the lime in this courtyard marks the location of the deceased at that time?" Di Renjie pointed to the human figure surrounded by lime on the ground and asked!

"Exactly!" Zhang Saburo replied!

"Hmmm! It seems that your county master still knows a lot about some of the methods used to solve cases! Hahaha! Di Renjie smiled!

"Yes, my grandfather is still quite researched about judging cases! This is the location of Zhang Fu's body at that time, and he was still holding the kitchen knife that killed him at that time! Zhang Saburo said while pointing!

"Well, let's go in and have a look!" Di Renjie said and walked towards the main room!

Pushing open the door of the main house, the room was also pitch black, and after the three of them entered the house, the room became bright under the light of three lanterns!

In front of the three of them, it was the white silk hanging on the beam of the house at that time, it may be that the three of them opened the door and brought in the wind, and the white silk with a dead buckle was hanging on the beam and swaying slightly!
