Chapter 30: The Murder Resumes (1)
An Wanqing spoke, breaking the brief silence in the front hall, "Overseer, did the Imperial Jin Army find any suspicions about Huayue Tower and her husband yesterday?" ”
"Coincidentally, the husband had a stomach upset last night, and he was lazy when he was on the watch, and he didn't pass through the door of Zhou Shangshu's mansion, which can explain why he didn't report the case in time. Huayuelou said that it was when the son left on Tuesday, and it was close to the child. ”
"This shows that on Tuesday, Gongzi left Huayue Tower and went back to Zhou Shangshu's Mansion directly, and he has never been to other places." An Wan Qingdao.
"This also coincides with the timing of Childe's death on Tuesday." Nangong Qi said.
"Jishi Medicine Hall, presumably the Overseer's people have also been there." An Wanqing sighed lightly.
Yan Qingyu was noncommittal, "Jishi Medicine Hall has been open in the capital for ten years, so there should be no problem." ”
"Is it really the wrong direction? What exactly are we missing? An Wanqing was puzzled.
"So far, that bowl of water, that gall, that line of blood, still have no clue, tomorrow is the deadline, I'm afraid it's ......" Nangong Qi said with some concern holding his chin.
"There is no such thing as a flawless case." An Wanqing looked at Nangong Qi and said seriously: "Your Highness, you can only hurry up now, and then go and check the body of the second prince to see if there is anything missing." ”
Nangong Qi got up and nodded.
The two walked out of the antechamber one after the other.
Yan Qingyu was naturally not idle, and took Mo Qiu and the others to question the suspected people again, to see if their confessions were consistent, trying to find a breakthrough.
Seeing that it was busy until noon, he was confused.
The three of them barely had lunch in the front hall of the Zhou Mansion.
"There is gold, wood, water and fire, a bowl of water, a gall ......" Nangong Qi ate, holding a chopstick and beating the porcelain bowl, chattering boringly.
"Have you read enough?" Yan Qingyu was already upset and scolded.
Nangong Qi glanced at him, knowing that he was bored, so he had to shut up.
The case has been clueless, as if it has entered a dead end, An Wanqing held her chin in a daze, listened to Nangong Qi's non-stop thoughts, a spiritual light flashed coldly in her mind, and turned her head to look at Yan Qingyu, "What does bile belong to in the five elements?" ”
"Water." Yan Qingyu blurted out, and after speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at An Wanqing.
"Put the gall organs of the five elements into the water......"
An Wanqing's voice didn't fall, but she saw Mo Ting hurriedly running in, "Master, there is a murder case on Nanhua Street, and the daughter of Li Shilang died in the firewood room of her mansion at noon today......
Without waiting for Mo Ting to finish speaking, Yan Qingyu interrupted him in a cold voice, "The case of the Zhou Mansion is urgent, and all other cases will be handed over to the Criminal Department, so don't bother the master!" ”
"Master, this case is a bit strange, so my subordinates dare to disturb you." Mo Ting frowned anxiously and boldly continued.
"Can it be weirder than Tuesday's childe's case?" Nangong Qi sneered.
He had never looked down on the Imperial Jin Army, and his tone was full of sarcasm.
Yan Qingyu looked up at Mo Ting and motioned for him to continue.
"Just after noon today, the house slave in the kitchen of the Li Mansion went to the firewood room to get firewood, and found that Miss Li was dead inside, her heart was dug out and put in the fire on the side, and a line of blood was written next to the corpse. Moting Road.
After listening to Mo Ting's speech, An Wanqing was dumbfounded, Nangong Qi's eyes widened in shock, Yan Qingyu was calm, and frowned slightly.
"Is it a serial murder case?" Nangong Qi grinned.
"I have already experienced it, Miss Li died at noon." Moting Road.
"Heart on the fire?" An Wanqing was stunned for a moment, and turned her head to look at Yan Qingyu, "What does the heart belong to in the five elements?" ”
"Fire." Yan Qingyu frowned, thoughtful, "It seems that nine times out of ten it is a serial crime." ”
"The gall belongs to the water, and the heart belongs to the fire. Could it be that the five elements kill people? Nangong Qi said.
"If it's really the Five Elements, I'm afraid that the murderer will still commit the crime! Now that two have died, we must catch the murderer before he commits the crime, otherwise there will be three more people killed. An Wanqing said worriedly.
"By the way, what's that line of blood?" An Wanqing looked at Mo Ting and asked.
"There is no knot and no silk." Moting recalled.
An Wanqing was stunned.
"What?" Nangong Qi's eyes widened, "Knotless and silkless?" This is not the same as the blood word next to the corpse of the son on Tuesday, and the eight poles can't be beaten. ”
Yan Qingyu said coldly: "If it is really the Five Elements Murder, then these two bloody words are probably just a trick to confuse the public." ”
An Wanqing shook her head, "There is no knot and no silk, this is a word." If the murderer is not a murderer with five elements, then he kills people according to other laws, and the murderer is trying his best to use cruel methods, how can he deliberately make two lines of blood in order to confuse the public? ”
"Leave?" Nangong Qi frowned, "What can it mean?" ”
"I don't know right now." An Wanqing shook her head, got up and looked at Nangong Qi, "Your Highness, let's go, go to Li Shilang's mansion." ”
"Time is of the essence, okay." Nangong Qi quickly got up.
Yan Qingyu also stood up, "This governor will come with you." ”
An Wanqing was stunned for a moment, turned her head to look at him, and knew that Lord Yan was probably also in a hurry.
"Overseer, tomorrow is the deadline, but the matter is not as simple as we imagined, and the murderer cannot be found for a while, I am afraid that the murderer will commit the crime again, I hope that the overseer can enter the palace to explain the situation to the saint, and then forgive us a few days." An Wanqing seriously analyzed the current situation.
"Why don't you let the Seventh Highness go down if you touch the moldy head and get scolded?" Yan Qingyu looked arrogant and snorted coldly.
"This ......" An Wanqing was dumbfounded.
"This king is not going." Nangong Qi naturally knew. At the beginning, he boasted about Haikou and swore an oath, but now that he is going, he will definitely be scolded.
An Wanqing glanced at Nangong Qi, then at the arrogant Yan Qingyu, and carefully analyzed: "Two masters, as soon as this deadline arrives, you must report the case to Your Majesty, in case the murderer is not caught by then, wouldn't it be even more faceless, it is better to take a step back now......
Before they finished speaking, Nangong Qi and Yan Qingyu turned their heads to look at each other, and said almost in unison: "Let's go together." ”
Seeing this, An Wanqing grinned dryly, and nodded again and again, "Mmmm, let's go together." ”
Nangong Qi and Yan Qingyufu turned their heads to look at her again.
An Wanqing avoided the gaze of the two, shrugged her shoulders, and walked out of the front hall as if nothing happened, "I'll go to Li Shilang's mansion first." ”
"How did you make this friend?" Looking at An Wanqing's back, Yan Qingyu said neither salty nor light.
"Huh?" Nangong Qi was stunned for a moment, and then snorted lightly: "Why did this king answer you." ”
"Enter the palace." Yan Qingyu spit out two words and walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"Wait a minute, Xiao Wang." Nangong Qi hurriedly chased after him.
