Chapter 174: A Strange Case

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, the analysis of the case is not over yet, you must not leave now?"

Early the next morning, outside the detention room of the Criminal Department, Lu Hua, who was over seventy years old, chased after the angry King Yu, and persuaded him while running.

King Yu stopped and sighed: "Lord Lu, this king is not going for you, don't go to your heart."

You have also seen the situation just now, saying that it was the joint investigation of the yamen, but in the end it turned into a big fight, and some people actually said that Tang Jiuguang had a mental breakdown and killed the whole family, and he was also born in a serious scientific expedition, such absurd words can also be said! ”

Lu Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Wang, how can they be absurd when they are all human spirits?" Isn't it all the reason why this is the case is involved? You dissipate your anger and slowly make peace with them, the lower officials have sent Liu Shilang to collect evidence, and there may be a breakthrough. ”

Yuwang Zhengse said: "Liu Shilang is known as the iron-faced Shilang, he has solved countless strange cases in his life, and he is the first person in my dynasty to be punished, Lord Lu, you tell me the truth, how sure do you think he is to solve this case?" ”

Lu Hua said: "Lord Wang, Liu Shilang is quite good at punishment, but this case is a rare and strange case, if it is just like this, but this case involves a wide range of people, and there are many constraints, it is really not easy to detect......"

Although the words were tactful, they were full of despair, seeing that King Yu's face was not good, Lu Hua couldn't bear to hit the young prince again, and then said: "But the old man believes that Skynet is restored and not leaked, no matter how strange the case is, there will always be a day when the truth will be revealed." ”

King Yu shook his head and said: "It's not okay to wait for God to close the net, not to mention that my father only gave us a month, now the court is already surging because of this case, if we can't solve the case quickly, I'm afraid it will set off an uproar, and we will bear the brunt of it at that time!" ”

Lu Hua also shook his head: "Lord Wang, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, you have also seen the case analysis just now, it is extremely difficult to twist so many yamen who don't know who is standing behind them into a rope, let alone use these people to solve strange cases?" ”

King Yu sneered: "Right now, time is pressing, this king doesn't have time to accompany them, since they are doing their own thing, then this king will get rid of them and solve the case alone!" ”

Seeing that King Yu said confidently, Lu Hua was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Will the prince plan come out?" ”

King Yu said: "Since it is a strange case, naturally we have to invite a strange person to handle it, let's change our clothes, and I will take you to find someone!" ”

Lu Hua was about to ask him who he was looking for, when a small official rushed over in a hurry.

"Lord, lord, there is a captain named Xu Rui who said that he was ordered to assist the Criminal Department in handling the case, and the little ones wanted him to wait a while, but he said that he just wanted to see you."

Hearing this, King Yu was shocked, and laughed: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!" Xu Rui is really a timely rain, so let's save another trip, Master Lu let's go, and go with this king to meet this strange person. ”

When he said this, Lu Hua finally remembered who Xu Rui was, and frowned.

"Lord Wang, this person is the one who was called a saint by Mr. Dongli, and the one who caused an assassination storm a month ago?"

"Exactly!"

Lu Hua's brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Lord Wang, the lower officials also heard that this talent is Gao Badou, and Wen Taowu is proficient in everything, but investigating the case is neither an article nor a war, what can he do?" ”

King Yu ignored Lu Hua's doubts, grabbed his wrist, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, you can go with me to take a look, I will keep him and not let you down!" ”

In Yuwang's signing room, Xu Rui held a cup of tea with a faint expression, early this morning, he first practiced the nameless swordsmanship under the guidance of Ying Yu, and then exercised for an hour with the fitness equipment he developed, before he came to the criminal department slowly.

After the assassination turmoil, under the care of Mr. Changpo and Wu Tong, Ying Yu recovered exceptionally smoothly, and now there is no major problem except for not being able to exercise vigorously.

And with that lesson, Xu Rui also attached importance to his body, not only began to practice the nameless sword technique under the guidance of Ying Yu, but also specially manufactured modern fitness equipment and formulated a scientific fitness plan.

It's also strange to say, in the martial arts, Ying Yu has already made quite a lot of achievements, but as long as it is the method in the nameless sword technique, no matter how easy it is, she just can't advance an inch.

On the contrary, although Xu Rui didn't know anything about swordsmanship before, under the guidance of Ying Yu, he cultivated nameless swordsmanship in a thousand miles a day, no matter how difficult the bottleneck was, he could go down in an instant, without the slightest hindrance.

In just over a month, his swordsmanship has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has been able to barely make a few moves with Liu Yi's guards, and it is absolutely unimaginable if others do not have three or four years of hard work.

It is said that when a person comes to learn martial arts after the age of ten, not only does his progress be extremely slow, but it is also difficult to achieve anything in his life, Xu Rui's situation even Ying Yu and Liu Yi were shocked, but they couldn't say why, so they had to blame everything on Xu Rui's genius.

Recalling his hard work in practicing martial arts when he was young, and then watching Xu Rui talk and laugh day by day, Liu Yi had to sigh "the sky is unfair", and never watched him practice swords again, so as not to be depressed.

However, the only thing that comforted Liu Yi was that Xu Rui's talent seemed to be limited to that nameless sword technique, and he was no different from ordinary people when it was replaced by other martial arts, and as the cultivation of the nameless sword technique deepened, his progress was also slowing down rapidly, not as perverted as he was at the beginning.

Xu Rui was thinking about the moves he had just practiced in the morning in the signing room, and King Yu walked in with Lu Hua in a hurry, followed by several small officials, each of whom was holding a full file in his arms.

Xu Rui hurriedly got up and saluted King Yu and Lu Shangshu, but King Yu waved his hand and said: "It's good to come, you must know the involvement behind this case, I won't say more, let's take a look at the file first." ”

After speaking, Yuwang stepped aside and took a big sip of the teacup.

Seeing that King Yu looked anxious, Xu Rui was not polite, nodded at Lu Hua, and then opened the file by himself, and really ignored the two of them.

One of these two people is a high-ranking prince, and the other is a small seven-rank captain, so Lu Hua was dumbfounded when they got along like this.

When he was young, Lu Hua was also a stunned young man who was not afraid of power, but in the case of such a disparity in status and status, he would never treat the prince as an outsider so much.

The two get along so naturally, which not only shows that they are extremely close, but also that both Yuwang and Xu Rui regard each other as people of equal status from the bottom of their hearts.

But a prince, a seven-rank petty official, can he really see the other party as an equal person in his heart?

Lu Hua looked at this excessively young Xu Rui, and made the first conclusion to him in his heart: this Xu Rui is either empty-eyed, or he really has a talent that has endured the heavens and the earth.

Xu Rui looked at the file carefully, and his brows gradually furrowed.

He originally thought that the most difficult part of this case was that it involved the prince, but he didn't expect that the case itself was also full of suspicions.

First of all, all the 136 people in Tang Jiuguang's mansion, except for a maid named Chunming, died, but there was no trace of a struggle in the mansion.

Except for Tang Jiuguang, Mrs. Tang and the personal maid, there were no external injuries that could prove that there were traces of resistance.

In this case, if it is not suicide, the deceased is usually either killed by the killer in his sleep or drugged and then killed.

However, all the deceased were all dressed neatly, and the places of the victims were varied, and not only did the deceased not show signs of poisoning in his body, but the death was extremely strange.

For example, the cook dies in the back kitchen, and there is a fire on the stove;

The gardener died in the hall of flowers, still holding the grass he had just plucked;

The groom died in the stable, and the hay he was holding was sprinkled on the ground;

The maid in charge of cleaning the room held the rag and threw herself on the table of the Eight Immortals who were wiping.

It was as if some mysterious force suddenly descended and killed everyone in an instant.

Only Tang Jiuguang and his wife, as well as the death of his wife's personal maid, are different from others, it seems that after being hanged, they were hung on the beams of the bedroom and the meditation room respectively, and the scene is extremely weird.

Secondly, Tang Jiuguang's family did not find any clues related to the embezzlement of the national treasury, let alone any correspondence between him and the crown prince.

On the contrary, there was even a letter on the desk in his study, in which he pleaded himself and went up and down to embezzle the treasury and frame himself for the crime.

Not only is the rhetoric conclusive, but there are even many circumstantial evidence, which seems to be justified and not a little weak.

This shows that Tang Jiuguang had no intention of admitting his guilt before he died, and even wanted to fight back, and there was no way to talk about a mental breakdown.

But the strange thing is that in his wife's room, a large amount of incense was found to help him sleep, as well as a request for good fortune and evil, and the source of the request for sign covered almost all the temples near Changxing City.

According to the surviving maid's confession, Mrs. has been restless and suspicious recently, and she looks like a mountain rain is coming.

It shows that during this period of time, Mrs. Tang's mental pressure has been very great, even to the point of being unable to sleep at night, praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

This couple lives under the same roof, why is there such a big difference in status?

Finally, and most importantly, the inference of the time of death in the Tang Mansion is surprisingly consistent, that is, from one quarter to four minutes yesterday, during this time, more than a dozen families in the vicinity had already gotten up, and nothing unusual was found just one wall away.

Is it true that someone can kill more than 100 people in a row without making a single movement?

Xu Rui slowly put down the file in his hand and thoughtfully combed through the clues.

King Yu hurriedly came up and asked, "Did you find anything?" ”
