Chapter 20: Dead Souls - 10

Outside the patrol house, it was once again surrounded by water. A group of reporters gathered outside the building, all discussing this shocking news. After a while, Sergeant Yao walked out of it with people, and when the reporters saw it, they immediately hugged it.

"Sheriff Yao, I heard that the deceased found last night was Du Yunsheng, is it true?"

"Sergeant Yao, I heard that the patrol room caught the person who killed Du Yunsheng at the scene, it was his wife Sun Yajun, may I ask if this is the case?"

"Sheriff Yao, didn't Du Yunsheng die two years ago? How can you come back from the dead? ”……

"Everyone!" Sergeant Yao raised his hand and shouted a few times, and then a group of reporters quieted down, only to see Sergeant Yao clear his throat and say aloud to everyone: "Last night, our patrol room found a murder case in Dongta Temple in the east of the city during a routine night patrol, and our police officers arrived at the scene and found a man lying on the ground and had been stabbed to death. After verification, this person is Du Yunsheng, the former shopkeeper of Jixiang Cloth Workshop. And we also found a suspect at the scene, who is Sun Yajun, the current shopkeeper of Jixiang Cloth Fang. ”

As soon as Sergeant Yao said this, the scene immediately "coaxed" into a commotion. Seeing this, Sergeant Yao raised his voice: "Regarding this case, our patrol room is currently making every effort to investigate. We will give you a detailed explanation on the date of the investigation. ”

"Sheriff Yao!" "Sheriff Yao!" The group of reporters below immediately wanted to ask, but Sergeant Yao obviously didn't mean to answer, and after saying this, he turned around and walked back to the patrol room with the help of his subordinates.

The news of Du Yun's resurrection from life and death and his re-killing soon spread throughout Kanto City. Everyone was talking about this bizarre and strange case, and for a while various theories were rampant: some people said that Du Yunsheng had been secretly imprisoned in the dungeon by Sun Yajun for the past two years, and the original fire was just a cover; Some people also say that the fire was set by Sun Yajun in order to burn Du Yunsheng to death, but Du Yunsheng escaped by luck......

"What's the use of escaping, and won't you die at the hands of this woman?" In the teahouse, a customer snorted coldly.

"I can't imagine that this woman is so vicious," said another, "and because of the cloth that my girl bought at her house a while ago, she wants to make a wedding dress!" It's unfortunate to think about it now! ……”

The discussion of the people next to him was like the wind in his ears, blowing in from Shen Yu's left ear and out of his right ear. His eyes were always fixed on the auspicious cloth shop across the street outside the teahouse. The cloth mill that was still in the market yesterday is now closed with doors and windows closed, and it is obviously closed.

"I can't find you in the newspaper or at home, so you're here." Gu Congzhou sat down beside Shen Yu.

Shen Yu didn't ask Gu Congzhou how he found here, but just pointed to the opposite side and said, "Look, another store is closed." ”

Gu Congzhou obviously also heard about the auspicious cloth workshop, but Shen Yu's reaction was a little unexpected for him: "You don't want to figure out what's going on?" ”

"I guess what's the use, the patrol won't let me in." Shen Yu smiled self-deprecatingly, "I just feel a little pitiful for Shopkeeper Sun, everyone praised her so well at the beginning, but now when something happens, before they can find out, everyone will first identify her as the murderer." ”

"You don't believe she's the murderer?" Gu Congzhou asked.

Shen Yu shook his head: "When the haunted photos came out the day before yesterday, I came to look for her. She was surprised to see the photo at the time, and there were tears in her eyes when she spoke. I don't believe she's such a cold-blooded person. ”

However, Gu Congzhou did not agree with Shen Yu's idea. Dr. Qian seemed to be amiable at the beginning, but didn't he secretly snitch and kill Professor Pei? Therefore, he said slowly: "Sometimes, people know people and faces, but they don't know ...... heart."

The two were relatively silent for a while. Gu Congzhou was about to say something, when suddenly he noticed that several people in military uniforms appeared on the street outside. And the one at the head was actually Adjutant Li, Shaoshuai Guan's deputy.

Adjutant Li came with someone, and what he said to the soldiers, the others immediately went their separate ways. Adjutant Li turned his head to look, and his gaze happened to meet Gu Congzhou.

Seeing Gu and Shen, Adjutant Li also showed a hint of surprise, and then he showed a smile. He walked into the teahouse and greeted Gu Congzhou and Shen Yu with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet the two of you here." ”

"Adjutant Li," the two of them got up one after another, and looked at Zhou Dao, "Adjutant Li is here on business?" ”

Adjutant Li nodded: "Presumably the two of you have also heard about the auspicious cloth workshop." Mrs. Dashuai and Sun Yajun, the shopkeeper of Jixiang Cloth Workshop, had a relationship, and learned that Sun Yajun was rumored to have killed someone, and it was her husband who should have died long ago that she killed her, and felt that this matter was strange, so she sent someone over to inquire. After Adjutant Li explained, he looked at the two of them, "...... are you here?" ”

"We're here for the same thing." Gu Congzhou said, pointing at Shen Yu, "Shen Yu was entrusted by Shopkeeper Sun to investigate Jia Chengxin's case, and I don't want to have an accident with Boss Sun himself before he finds out the results." ”

"Oh?" Adjutant Li looked at Shen Yu and said, "Reporter Shen, if Li is not mistaken, the news about hauntings in the Kanto Daily seems to have been written by Reporter Shen, right?" It just so happened that Li also had something he wanted to ask. Let's talk about it in detail. ”

So the three of them went upstairs, called a private room, ordered a pot of tea, and then closed the door and sat down. Then, Shen Yu and Gu Congzhou told Adjutant Li about all the strange things that had happened in the past few days.

"In this way, the whole thing is really strange, and it feels like someone is indeed targeting Jixiang Cloth Fang." After listening to the narration of the two, Adjutant Li frowned.

"Adjutant Li," Gu Congzhou asked, "have you seen the corpse?" Is the deceased really Du Yunsheng? ”

Adjutant Li nodded: "We have found someone to identify, and there is no doubt that the deceased is indeed Du Yunsheng." ”

"Therefore, in the fire two years ago, it was not Du Yunsheng who died." Gu Congzhou analyzed, "So what did Sun Yajun say?" ”

She said that she was framed, and someone claimed to know the real culprit of Jia Chengxin's case and asked her to go to Dongta Temple. But when she got there, she was knocked unconscious, and when she woke up, she found that Du Yunsheng was dead, and she was holding the murder weapon in her hand. Adjutant Li said, "As for the fire two years ago, she insisted that she did not know that it was not Du Yunsheng who died." I asked someone, and no one in the auspicious cloth workshop had seen Du Yunsheng in the past two years, and the people in the cloth workshop thought he was dead. ”

"Therefore, Sun Yajun may not have known about the fire that year. And no one has seen Du Yunsheng in the past two years, so it is likely that this person has hidden somewhere else......" Gu Congzhou deduced, and then frowned, "It's just that why did he come back recently?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Jia Chengxin, it should be Jia Chengxin! Shen Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "Du Yunsheng was captured in that photo of him!" I couldn't figure out how he could get Du Yunsheng's appearance before, but now I think that he must have found Du Yunsheng early in the morning, and took such a photo and began to pretend to be a ghost! ”

"This statement is quite convincing," Adjutant Li nodded in agreement, "This would also explain why the two of them met Du Yunsheng at Jia Chengxin's house." It's just that if the two of them make such a news, they have no practical impact on Jixiang Cloth Workshop except for more talking on the streets and alleys, why do they care so much? In addition, if Sun Yajun and his housekeeper are not murderers, then who is the real murderer, and why do they want to blame the two of them? ”

Adjutant Li's two questions are now suspicious. Gu Congzhou couldn't explain it. However, he remembered another thing: "Adjutant Li, have the autopsy reports of the two deceased come out?" ”

"The forensic officer in the patrol room is said to have been sick and on leave, Jia Chengxin's body is said to have been examined by a doctor, and Du Yunsheng's body has not yet been examined."

"What? They haven't tested it yet? Gu frowned when he heard it on Monday, "I told Sheriff Yao yesterday that we must test it as soon as possible!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ So the doctor who examined Jia Chengxin was you? Adjutant Li was surprised.

"Yes." Gu Congzhou nodded, "There are many wounds on Jia Chengxin's body, and there are also many suspicious points. I suggested that Sergeant Yao should have a detailed examination and a physiological test, and Sergeant Yao said that their medical examiner would be back soon, and the results were ......."

Adjutant Li was so shrewd that he immediately understood the meaning, and he spoke: "In that case, Doctor Gu bothered you to go to the patrol room with Li, and we will immediately re-examine the autopsy." ”

Adjutant Li settled the account and immediately waited for the two to return to the patrol room. When Sergeant Yao saw that Adjutant Li personally brought someone here, where did he dare to say a word "no", he immediately obediently asked someone to take Gu Congzhou to the autopsy.

"The cause of Du Yunsheng's death was a stab wound to the abdomen with a sharp weapon and bleeding from internal organs." Gu Congzhou inspected the corpse and said, "This knife is very deep, and the knife edge is slightly downward," Speaking of this, he looked back at Adjutant Li, "It can be seen that it was done by a person with a strong arm and taller than him." ”

Adjutant Li noddedβ€”so the real murderer was definitely not Sun Yajun.

"Du Yunsheng's physical condition is not very good, his limbs are emaciated, his teeth and under his nose are burnt yellow, I suspect that he should be a big smoker, and he has been smoking for a long time. There was bruise in the back of his head, obviously he was hit in the back of the head, and he also had bruises on his wrist, it seemed that he had been tied with a rope not long before he died......" Gu Cong frowned as he said from the surroundings, he thought about it and walked over to Adjutant Li, "I want to check something, but there is no instrument in the patrol room." If I could, I would like to take the body to Kanto Hospital. ”

"No problem." Adjutant Li nodded, and immediately arranged for two GIs to carry the corpse to accompany Gu Congzhou to the Kwantung Hospital. After a few people left, he called a few soldiers and ordered them to take Du Yunsheng's photos to the big smoke house in a nearby city to inquire and see where they had seen Du Yunsheng.

Seeing that Adjutant Li had finished arranging, Shen Yu stepped forward: "Adjutant Li, do you know what happened to the fire in Jixiang Cloth Workshop at the beginning?" ”

"What I hear is not unlike what you hear. The matter of Jixiang Cloth Fang was very noisy at that time, Du Yunsheng had borrowed a sum of money from a ticket number before his death, but after the accident, the ticket number was also greatly affected. Adjutant Li said, "However, after all, these are ordinary people's affairs, and they are not within the scope of our Kwantung Army's duties. ”

"Then who do you think is doing this?"

"It's hard to say yet." Adjutant Li seemed reluctant to say more, and instead asked, "By the way, I see that your report said that a human-shaped black mark appeared on the floor of Taixing Watch Company, is it true?" ”

"It's true!" Shen Yu said, "I saw it with my own eyes!" My photos are not fake! ”

"In this way, it's very fresh." Adjutant Li showed a hint of interest, and he spoke: "Anyway, there is nothing else to do now, why don't we go to Taixing Watch Store to have a look." ”

Taixing Watch Company is still hanging a business closure card, but Adjutant Li is different from others, when the two arrived at Taixing Watch Company, Manager Wang of Taixing Watch Company was already waiting there.

"Manager Wang, I'm tired." Adjutant Li said politely to Manager Wang.

"It should be, it should be." Manager Wang responded while secretly glancing at Shen Yu. Shen Yu just didn't see it, and followed Adjutant Li into the foreign bank.

There is no big difference between the inside of the foreign bank and a few days ago, except that there is a large carpet on the floor, which covers the whole floor. Adjutant Li smiled at first sight: "This is a good way that your bank came up with?" ”

"Alas, we have no choice but to do it." Manager Wang smiled bitterly, "We once wanted to find a worker to repair it, but the worker said that the black had seeped into the wood and could not be removed at all, unless the floor was replaced." However, changing the floor requires replacing the entire flooring of the whole room, which is really a big project. So the boss asked us to find a carpet to cover the floor, which was a stopgap measure. ”

Adjutant Li smiled, and as soon as he waved his hand, a soldier came over and lifted the carpet. The black mark immediately appeared in everyone's eyes.

Adjutant Li stared at the dark shadow for a long time, then he squatted down, touched the floor, and asked, "Manager Wang, the paint on this floor seems to have fallen off?" Did you scrape it off? ”

"It's not." Manager Wang shook his head, "We also found that the paint on the black mark had been scraped off when we were repairing the ground. ”

"Scraping off so many places, I'm afraid it's not a day......" Adjutant Li whispered to himself, and then he raised his eyes and said solemnly: "Manager Wang, please show me the list of all the employees in your store." ”
