Chapter 452: A Strange Murder Case
The news sent by the family, early this morning, An Ge made an appointment with a shopkeeper to talk about things in a teahouse called Xiang Ming Pavilion.
But then Changxing Mansion received a report, saying that there was a murder in Xiangming Pavilion, and the messenger quickly rushed there, only to see An Ge standing in the house, the boss who had made an appointment to talk about things had been killed, and he looked panicked and held a murder weapon, covered in blood.
Changxing Mansion had no choice but to temporarily detain An Ge and wait for the next investigation. ”
After receiving the news of An Ge's accident, Xu Rui immediately led everyone to the city, and on the way, Lin Shaodong told him about the situation he had, and everyone's faces were a little ugly when they heard it.
"An Ge is smart and alert, and he has experienced the Great War of the North and the South, even if he really wants to kill someone, he will never be so stupid and caught, and the mysterious person who reported the case is also very suspicious, most likely someone specifically framed him!"
Cao Siyuan said in a deep voice.
Xu Rui waved his hand and asked, "Has the Changxing Mansion reported this matter to the Criminal Department?" ”
Lin Shaodong shook his head: "Not yet, Changxing Mansion is silent, and sent someone to Liu Mansion to inform the marshal as soon as possible, and the family members in the mansion sent the news to the camp again." ”
Xu Rui sneered when he heard this: "The one who helped the prince steal the Yuanchu Base before was Changxing Mansion, would they have such a good heart?" ”
Lin Shaodong said: "The first few times the prince tried to make an accomplice to the Yuanchu Base Changxing Mansion, but the handsome didn't clean them up, maybe this time he deliberately sold you a good one." ”
Xu Rui shook his head, noncommittal.
"Dashuai, we're here!"
The carriage stopped suddenly, Cao Siyuan lifted the curtain and glanced at it, and said to Xu Rui.
"Let's go, go in and have a look!"
Xu Rui got out of the carriage first, he didn't go to Changxing Mansion, nor did he go to see An Ge, who had an accident, but went directly to the Xiangming Pavilion, the place where the crime occurred.
The scale of the Tea Pavilion is not large, but it is also very elegant, the boss seems to have no background, and he has been trembling since the accident, and he doesn't know where to hide.
Before entering the door, Xu Rui glanced around, only to see that the street was bustling, without looking at the lively crowd of onlookers, and there were no people hiding to the side and pointing at them.
Xu Rui frowned and walked in with someone.
"Dashuai, Li Chun has arrived, and he was also at the scene when the accident happened."
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Shaodong led a young man in a green robe over.
This person's name is Li Chun, he was one of the few friends of An Ge in the past, and now he follows An Ge to do things, barely his secretary, Xu Rui has also met a few times before.
As soon as he saw Xu Rui, Li Chun seemed to have found the backbone of his heart, and his pale face looked a little better.
"The villain has seen Master Hou!"
Li Chun clasped his hands into fists and saluted Xu Rui in a low voice.
Xu Rui nodded: "No need to be polite, tell Ben Hou in detail about the morning." ”
"Yes......"
Li Chun shook his head, recalling the events of the morning, and a trace of dazedness flashed on his face.
"It's all like a dream, and the little ones are still a little dazed......
Ah, Master Hou forgives his sins, the small one is far away.
Here's the thing, in the morning, the villain, as usual, accompanied Mr. An Ge to talk to the shopkeeper Peng of Lantianzhuang, and we made an appointment in the Tianzi room A, the room was set by the shopkeeper Peng, and it is said that it is the place where he often talks with people.
We arrived earlier than scheduled, and there was no one in the room, so Mr. Angel had two guards waiting outside the door, and stayed in the room with me.
But somehow, not long after I entered the room, I fell asleep, and then my eyes went dark, and I didn't know anything, and when I woke up, the servants of Changxing Mansion had already rushed into the room and arrested Mr. An Ge.
The room was covered in blood, and the shopkeeper Peng, who had asked us to talk, was killed, and his body was lying on the table.
I was startled, my mind was a mess, the six gods had no master, and then the servants took me to Changxing Mansion, and it was like this, until Lord Lin sent someone to take me here. ”
"Are you sure you did enter the room in the morning, and there was no one in it?"
Xu Rui asked expressionlessly.
Li Chun nodded affirmatively: "Sure, I remember the events of the morning very clearly, and I will never be wrong." ”
"Have you been to see Ange?"
Xu Rui asked Lin Shaodong again.
Lin Shaodong nodded: "The person sent has just returned, Mr. An Ge is quite calm, and Changxing Mansion has not been executed, and his description of the case is exactly the same as Li Chun." ”
At this time, everyone just walked to the staircase on the second floor of the teahouse, Xu Rui carefully observed the situation in the corridor, Tianzi Room A was at the end of the corridor on the second floor, far away from the stairs, but standing at the staircase, he could see the situation at the door through a straight corridor.
After the incident, although the Changxing Mansion did not seal the teahouse, it left a few servants to take care of the room of the Son of Heaven A.
Xu Rui pouted towards the room, and Cao Siyuan immediately walked towards the room with a few guards.
"Hey, who are you?"
The messenger guarding the door of the room saw that several people were menacing, and hurriedly asked.
"Master Hou is doing things, idlers give way!"
The guards took out the token of the champion Hou and shook it in front of the officers, and then pushed them away, and several of the officers were very discerning, seeing that Xu Rui was coming in person, they didn't dare to say a word, and obediently let them aside.
Cao Siyuan stood at the door and looked carefully into the house, but did not find any danger, and then said to Xu Rui: "Dashuai, this is the scene of the crime." ”
Xu Rui nodded and walked into the Tianzi No. A room.
The room is about ten square meters in size, square, with a delicate tea table carved from old tree roots in the middle, surrounded by elegant plants and calligraphy and paintings, and there is a window on the wall due north.
The whole room is clear at a glance, there is no hiding person at all, and there is nothing special.
The body of the deceased has been carried away by the people of Changxing Mansion, but the blood stains on the ground are still vivid.
The bloodstain was about the size of a washbasin and imprinted the outline of a small half of the victim's body.
Xu Rui carefully followed the blood stains, and found a string of blood droplets on the wall not far away, and there were half footprints with scratches in the corner of the wall, and a picture gradually appeared in his mind.
The murderer approached the victim from behind, and when he was still about one step away from the victim, maybe the murderer shouted at the victim, or maybe the victim heard the movement, in short, he turned around, and the murderer stabbed the victim into the victim's heart at this time.
The killer then immediately drew the knife, and his speed was so fast that the blood on the blade splattered onto the wall.
The victim fell to the ground head-on, bleeding profusely, his foot just in the corner, and the convulsions of his dying left scratched footprints on the soles of his shoes.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui beckoned to Cao Siyuan: "Call an errand to come in!" ”
Cao Siyuan nodded, and immediately slipped the leading messenger into the house from outside.
The officer's face was not very good-looking, and he seemed to be very afraid of Xu Rui, and immediately saluted after entering the door: "The villain Changxing Mansion catches Ma San, and I have seen Master Hou." ”
Xu Rui ignored his nervousness and asked lightly, "Did you touch the things in the house when you arrested people?" ”
Ma San shook his head: "No, no, the little ones also know how to protect the evidence, not to mention that after learning Mr. An Ge's identity, the brothers are very polite, and Mr. An Ge is also very cooperative, so everything in the house now is exactly the same as what we saw when we first came." ”
Hearing this, Xu Rui nodded, waved his hand, and motioned for the guards to take Ma San out.
Cao Siyuan walked up to Xu Rui and asked with a concerned face: "Dashuai, have you found anything?" ”
Xu Rui's face became more and more gloomy: "From the traces, it can be roughly determined that this is the scene of the first crime, and it is not a forgery after the fact."
The surrounding tables and chairs are very neat, indicating that the deceased and the murderer are acquaintances, and the moment he saw the murderer, the deceased did not knock down the tables and chairs in panic.
And the murderer was very experienced, and after the shot, he was killed with a knife, except for the instinctive convulsions of the body, leaving no traces of struggle and struggle at all. ”
"So things are very bad for An Ge?"
Cao Siyuan was surprised.
Xu Rui nodded: "It's really done too perfectly, there are almost no flaws left, even if I am an errand soldier, I'm afraid I will believe that An Ge is the murderer......"
"What should I do?"
Cao Siyuan was in a hurry.
Xu Rui frowned and did not speak.
At this time, Lin Shaodong hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "My lord, my subordinates have interrogated a few guys in the teahouse, and there are some new discoveries, please come and have a look." ”
"Oh?"
Xu Rui's spirit was slightly shocked when he heard this.
