Chapter 267: Prospect of Investigation
"No matter how you say it, the lower officials are also from poor backgrounds, and they know something about the things between these street and alley scoundrels, so it is impossible to touch this kind of mold so easily."
Zhao Ming opened his mouth and laughed twice, as if he wanted to show that he was extraordinarily smart, but when he came back, he looked at the expressions on the faces of several people beside him, and he dared to speak freely for himself.
"Naturally, this is not to say that the official is a person who bullies the weak and is afraid of the hard, if he is really caught by the official and those guys are traitors, the official will never be easily tolerated, and this time I will let go of the black market for the time being, it is just for the benefit of more people."
Zhao Ming deliberately avoided Su Jingye's gaze, wanting him to agree with him in the same line, crossed his waist with his hands, straightened his back and looked at the twins, and imagined that his current appearance must be very tall and majestic.
"Oh, my lord." The twins held hands tightly and answered with dull eyes, but their unwavering expressions completely indicated that they didn't believe Zhao Ming's words at all.
"Alright, come on in, don't waste your time on these little things." Su Jingye grinned at the corners of his mouth, glanced at Zhao Ming with disgust, and opened his mouth to urge.
According to Zhao Ming's usual personality, he should not be such a wordy person, why did he say these few words to Wu Sanniang just now, but he was suddenly affected and changed his sex, pestering the twins and talking endlessly.
Su Jingye squinted his eyes and shook his head, it seems that he should keep some distance from Wu Sanniang in the future, so as not to be assimilated.
Zhao Ming walked into the room and looked around, and saw that Su Jingye had completely entered the topic, carefully looked at various things, and from time to time reached out to wipe a handful of dust to judge the time interval.
Zhao Ming sighed secretly in his heart, this is the usual method used by officials in the capital when investigating cases, but he didn't expect Su Jingye, a person who has been running around for many years, to understand it so well, which is really powerful.
Watching Su Jingye search in the house so quietly, and didn't want to destroy the scene by moving around at will, Zhao Ming could only stand in place, and turned his head to find that the two twins were still standing alone at the door.
The twins' faces were as cold as ice, their bodies were thin as boards, but all the brightest light in the room came in from the door, they stood there with the light on their backs, looking a little pitiful and a little scary, Zhao Ming looked uncomfortable, so he took it upon himself to beckon them to come in.
"Anyway, it's okay for you to stand outside, just come in together, maybe the official and the prince will have something to ask you later, and it will be troublesome to go in and out when the time comes."
Hearing this, Su Jingye stopped for a moment, glanced in the direction of the sound source, didn't say anything, and continued to move in his hands.
"Lord Zhao, you see, this room is clean and tidy, even the dust on this table looks like it has just accumulated, and it doesn't look like there have been traces of struggle or fight at all."
Turning his head just now, Su Jingye saw that Zhao Ming was still holding the booklet that recorded the confession in his hand, thinking that it was not convenient for him to move around this room now anyway, so he dictated some of his findings to him and asked him to continue to record.
Zhao Mingqiu glanced at the ground a few times, and found that the location where the deceased fell to the ground drawn by the yacha was near the bead curtain used to divide the room, and the broken vase and broken porcelain pieces were behind the bead curtain on the other side.
The two sides were opposite, but the round table in the center of the room was vacant, although the position distribution was a little weird, but it was convenient for Zhao Ming's movements.
After Zhao Ming read it, he couldn't help but be silly in his heart a few times, at least he didn't have to act so embarrassed when he was recording.
There was a pale green tablecloth on the table in the center, which looked gray, as if it was covered with some dust, Zhao Ming walked forward with his notebook, and was just about to judge if there was something else on it, and wanted Su Jingye to take the time to come over and take a look.
As a result, as soon as I put my hand on it, I realized that it was the original color of the tablecloth.
Zhao Ming looked at his clean fingertips, pouted his lips in puzzlement, casually pulled over the stool on the side and sat down, and quickly wrote down the words released by Su Jingye.
"It's true, like this kind of room used for them to talk about the world, Sanniang insists that the people below must be cleaned, almost every day, but those rooms that are only opened at night are not so demanding."
The elder brother who opened his mouth and the younger brother beside him held hands, followed Zhao Ming's footsteps, and according to his gestures, they also went to the table and sat down.
"No wonder." Su Jingye got the expected answer, and nodded approvingly, "There is no trace of struggle, but it is said from the side that the person he met with may be an old acquaintance." But the vase was broken bizarrely,"
"If you accidentally break it, it won't be broken so evenly, and there are almost no particularly large porcelain tiles." Su Jingye said, coming out from behind the beaded curtain on the left side of the room.
In the compartment separated by a beaded curtain on the left side of the room, there was a high table by the window, and there was no decoration on the mortgage except for two pots of orchids that were growing well.
And directly opposite this case, under the window of the corridor, there is a low dresser, and on the wall to the right of the dresser there is also a picture of a fish mystery drunk farewell to the winter wind.
Further down the wall is the lacquered carved mahogany bed found in every room, and on the other side of the dresser, there is only a wooden shelf for hanging towels and copper basins.
The decoration here is exceptionally simple and clear, which saves a lot of time for Su Jingye's inspection, so he directly cut to the topic, especially observing the windowsill and the desk, and sure enough, he found a little yellow ash on the windowsill on the outward side that does not belong here.
A clod of earth had been stuck in the gap of the windowsill for a short time, but there was no trace of it on the high table directly below the windowsill.
It is estimated that it was thanks to Wu Sanniang's daily cleaning that the murderer erased the traces of his own trampling here, and the speed of the dust accumulating on the side was the same, so that Su Jingye did not notice it at first glance.
"The furnishings here are very simple, and there is nowhere to hide any sharp weapons, or there is a secret compartment, so it can be ruled out that it is the people in the building, deliberately murdering." Su Jingye said as he took out the handkerchief in his arms and wrapped the yellow dust that he held in his fingertips.
The earthy yellow mud is particularly conspicuous on this snow-white embroidered plum handkerchief, Zhao Ming looked at the mud at the same time, and inadvertently saw the crooked plum blossoms embroidered next to him, and couldn't help but look up at Su Jingye.
Su Jingye didn't notice his peeking eyes, but she was reluctant to let Jiang Liuyu embroider the handkerchief for herself this only time. I cherish it very much, and I have never taken it out, but I didn't expect it to come in handy at this time.
"Speaking of this mud, because the northwest corner of the capital is very close to the palace, the land on all sides is well built, and it is extremely difficult to get soiled. Even if there were, it was a soil as black as ebony, how could it take on this color. ”
"And the northeast corner and the southwest corner are connected in a line, and the soil is red, and the place where this color of soil will appear can only be the southeast corner, and the further south you go, the more obvious this yellow is."
"Not only that, but the southeast foot also has the most people planting crops, so in this way, we can control the search boundary." Zhao Ming pondered for a while, and agreed with his judgment, but there were still some noncommittal points.
"It's just that how can the prince rule out the possibility of premeditated murder so easily, in case the person who brought him over had already arranged it, maybe it."
"If Lord Zhao says other reasons, it may still need some scrutiny, but this reason is absolutely impossible." Su Jingye pulled out the bench and sat on the stool between the twins and Zhao Ming.
There were only four stools in front of this round table, and as soon as Su Jingye sat down, the distance between several people became a lot smaller. The younger brother of the twins was still a little scared, and the moment he sat down, he hurriedly hid beside his brother for a few minutes.
"Not to mention the person who brought him over, why didn't he take him to a secluded place and kill him quietly, it was more convenient for no one to know, even if two men entered the wing room here together, it was also very easy to attract the attention of others, how could there be no one in the building who had an impression?"
"Or does Lord Zhao think that it was a woman who brought him over?" Su Jingye overturned Zhao Ming's speculation while talking and laughing.
Zhao Ming couldn't say anything about him, but he felt that there was still some truth, so he obediently wrote it down in the book.
While waiting for Zhao Ming to write, Su Jingye took advantage of the air to look down at the outline of the traces of the deceased Tang Dao drawn on the ground with white face.
The weather is getting colder these days, Su Jingye happened to come over last night to take a look, and found that the deceased's face was small, but the body lying down looked very strong, thinking that he should be afraid of the cold, so he wrapped his whole body tightly.
Thanks to the obstruction of these layers of clothing, he was hit with a sword in the chest, but no extra blood spurted out of the ground. Thinking of this, Su Jingye raised his eyes to look at the twins who were still young, otherwise, they would probably be scared to lose their minds here.
Except for the two or three drops of blood on the ground next to the white face that outlined the figure, the surrounding area was clean, and it stands to reason that a large amount of blood should have gushed out from the place where the heart was pierced in the chest, so it seemed that it was all sprayed on the murderer.
Covered in bloodstains, the murderer jumped out of the window again, even if he was in the dark, someone would find him unusual, and there were a few flower buildings on the side, maybe there were witnesses who witnessed the murderer.
Thinking about this, it should be a lot easier to investigate this case, but Su Jingye frowned, sighed softly in his heart, and his left hand, which clenched his fist, couldn't help but fall heavily on the table, but he carefully controlled his strength and didn't make too much noise.
