After Zhan Xue complained, she asked, "How did Lord Lei die?" ”

Bai Haohong replied: "On the night of the crime, Lord Lei died in the bedroom of the upper room, stabbed seventeen times, and stuffed a note in his mouth, which read: 'Self-inflicted, innocent death. ’”

"Did Lu Xiushen hand over the case file to you?"

"He said he would send someone over immediately."

Zhan Xue reminded: "He said immediately, at least one day!" I'll just go over and get it. ”

"No, I'm just going to the Criminal Department, and then I'm going to ask the shopkeeper some questions, and by the way, I'll bring the case file."

Bai Haohong interrogated the shopkeeper again and said: "We already know that it was the Earth Dragon Gang that sent you to kill Lord Lei, and before you did it, Lord Lei was already dead, let's talk about what the whole process was." ”

Shan Wujie thought to himself: "In this intermediate process, there is nothing to hide, and it will be good for me to find the real culprit as soon as possible." ”

So, he recalled......

After Shan Wujie received the order to assassinate Lei Bangrong, he went to Lei Mansion in the capital and found that Lei Bangrong was not there.

During the day that day, Shan Wujie finally found the Lei Mansion in Ling County, and when he was observing the surrounding environment of the Lei family, a person dressed as a girl walked out of the Lei Mansion. Shan Wujie saw that this person looked a little like the dead original partner, so he deliberately asked her for directions, and the girl was very enthusiastic and personally led the way for Shan Wujie.

Along the way, the two talked while walking, Shan Wujie learned that this girl's name is Jinhua, she came out to grab medicine for Lei Bangrong, and soon after Lei Bangrong returned to his hometown, he became ill, and Lang Zhong asked him to sleep alone and recuperate, so Lei Bangrong slept alone in the upper room.

When she arrived at the door of the Penglai Inn, Jinhua collided with a person and fell to the ground. Shan Wujie was about to lose his temper and find trouble with that person, but found out that the person was Ye Dazhi, the third hall master of the Dapeng Dart Bureau. Ye Dazhi came here and also lived in the Penglai Inn, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, they separated.

Jinhua claimed that her foot was twisted and she couldn't walk for a while, so Shan Wujie carried her into the inn, helped her to his own house, and treated her foot. After curing, the two fell on the bed together. An hour later, Shan Wujie hired a sedan chair and sent Jinhua back to Lei Mansion. The sedan chair stopped not far from the Lei Mansion, and Shan Wujie watched Jin Hua limp into the gate before leaving.

Late at night, Shan Wujie came to the Lei Mansion again, he jumped on the roof, and lay on it to observe the movements of the Lei Mansion. Soon, someone shouted: "The master has been killed!" The old man was killed! ”

Then, lanterns and torches were lit in the thunder house, and many people ran to the upper room, crying and screaming. When Shan Wujie saw this scene, he quietly left.

The next day, Shan Wujie inquired that Lei Bangrong had indeed been killed last night, so he returned to the capital. A few days later, Jin Hua actually touched the "Everyday Restaurant" and found Shan Wujie.

Shan Wujie felt strange that he hadn't mentioned "coming to the restaurant every day" to Jinhua, so he asked Jinhua: "How did you find this place?" ”

Jin Hua replied: "At the door of the Penglai Inn, when you greeted the owner of the third hall of the Dapeng Dart Bureau, you mentioned 'come to the restaurant every day', and I wrote it down. ”

"How did you come to me?"

"After Lord Lei died, Mrs. Lei seemed to be a different person, it was difficult to serve, she often beat and scolded me, I really couldn't stay any longer, so I thought of you. Also, I have good news for you. ”

"What's the good news?"

"Before leaving, I took all the gold and silver jewelry of Mrs. Lei, enough for us to spend half our lives!"

Shan Wujie was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect Jin Hua to be this kind of person, and thought: "I have to guard against this woman, lest she sweep away my family property in the future." ”

Shan Wujie asked, "Jinhua, aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you?" ”

Jin Hua replied nonchalantly: "From now on, I will be incognito, where will the government find me?" You can call me 'Cuilian' from now on." ”

After another five days, the Criminal Department arrested Shan Wujie and Jin Hua on the grounds that Shan Wujie colluded with Jin Hua to steal the Lei family's property and kill Lord Lei.

After recalling this, Shan Wujie said puzzledly: "It's really strange, why did the Criminal Department arrest me?" ”

Bai Haohong replied: "I can tell you this, on the day Lord Lei was killed, Jin Hua's behavior was suspicious, first, the time to catch the medicine was too long; second, there is no problem with the feet, but when walking, he pretends to be limping; Third, have an intimate conversation with a strange man at the inn, and this strange man is you. The people of the Dapeng Dart Bureau also lived in the Penglai Inn that day, and they all knew you, so the Criminal Department quickly found you. ”

The next day, someone went to Dali Temple to beat drums and voice grievances, after Dali Temple passed the hall, thought that it seemed to be related to the case of Lord Lei, so he transferred the case file to Bai Haohong, Zhan Xue complained: "The case of Lord Lei in our hand is not over, and another one is stuffed!" ”

Bai Haohong said: "I have read the file, and the two cases are really related, because this time the deceased was also stuffed with a note in his mouth, which also read: 'Self-inflicted, death is innocent.'" A few words. ”

"Could it be a serial killer? He wanders everywhere and kills people everywhere? ”

"This possibility is not ruled out. I have asked Lu Xiushen to assist in the investigation and see if there are similar cases in other counties. ”

"Could it be a copycat crime? Is the handwriting of the note the same? ”

"Now, Dali Temple has asked the county order of the place where the crime occurred to send all the physical evidence, bitter masters, suspects, etc. to the capital, and it will take a few days to arrive, and when the physical evidence arrives, I can compare my handwriting."

"Who died?"

Bai Haohong replied: "Zhu Yongnan." ”

"Huh?! Is it Zhu Yongnan, the leader of Chang Xingbang who is known as the 'Invincible Sword', who died? ”

"Yes, it's him."

"Zhu Yongnan can be regarded as a top-level master in the martial arts, who killed him?" Without waiting for Bai Haohong to answer, Zhan Xue continued: "Generally speaking, people in the rivers and lakes are killed, and they only report to the county government, and then take revenge in private. This time, not only did the murderer be caught, but the murderer's family also came to the capital to complain and complain, which is really a strange news. ”

Bai Haohong explained: "That's the case, Zhu Yongnan took the housekeeper Zhu Qi back to his hometown to visit his parents, his parents are not from the rivers and lakes, Zhu Yongnan was killed in the backyard of his home, and his father went to the government to report the case." The local county magistrate saw that Zhu Yongnan died from 'sealing his throat with a sword', and thought that this situation could not happen, because how could the 'invincible sword' be pierced through the throat with a sword? The county order speculated: This is someone who used drugs to stun Zhu Yongnan in advance, and then stabbed him with a sword in the throat, and only Zhu Yongnan's housekeeper Zhu Qi can do this. ”

"What about motivation? Why did the housekeeper Zhu Qi kill the master? ”。

The county order said that Zhu Qi's good Yan Niang was taken as a concubine by Zhu Yongnan, and later, Yan Niang was accidentally injured by Zhu Yongnan and died, so Zhu Qi held a grudge. But Zhu Qi denied this statement, he said that he had nothing to do with Yanniang, but he was just a fellow villager and had known each other for a long time. ”
