Chapter 2 Peach Blossoms in the Temple
This discovery shocked those present! This is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, only a mile away from the imperial city, and two major cases have occurred one after another under the emperor's nose. What made them even more frightened was that the boss behind the Treasure Pavilion had a lot of backgrounds. Everyone couldn't understand who had the idea of being so bold and daring to fight the Treasure Pavilion?
Li Yijian rushed to the news with a large number of arresters, and found that the secret of the theft of the Treasure Pavilion was that a hole had been dug underground, and the starting point of the hole was in the "If I Smell" store, and the exit went straight to the entrance of Yujie Street through the Treasure Pavilion. After they surrounded the "As I Smell" store, they found that the building had already been empty, and there were a few upright fonts left on the slashed counter: The treasure of the Treasure Pavilion has been given, thank you for the good intentions of the prefect. There is a butterfly mark on the lower right foot.
This is clearly a provocation! The two major cases both happened in the imperial city, and the prefect was so angry that his lungs were about to explode! The emperor, who learned of this, was also furious, and he ordered the Kaifeng Mansion to go all out to pursue the important culprits, and if necessary, blockade the whole city. Subsequently, the prefect ordered a curfew, and at the same time searched door to door to arrest the thief as soon as possible.
For three days in a row, Bianliang City was overturned, but in the end, no clues were found.
"The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom." In Xiangguo Temple in April, the peach blossoms are extraordinarily enchanting. In the dust-filled room filled with the fragrance of tea, Master Sanssouci and King Liang are fighting each other.
"Lord Liang is uncertain, isn't he worried about that strange case?" Master Sanssouci asked suddenly.
King Liang sighed: "Yes, I didn't expect such a case to happen at the feet of the Son of Heaven." It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Jade Butterfly is a tightly structured organization that has committed countless crimes, but it has never directly clashed with the government, how could it commit crimes in the capital this time? Master Abbot, what do you think? ”
Carefree twisted his gray beard: "The old man heard that it takes a lot of time for them to commit a crime every time, hide the stolen goods after committing the crime, and divide the property when the rumor passes." In this way, they must have been fond of the treasure in the Treasure Pavilion for a long time, and they have been planning for a long time, but the old man thinks that they will definitely leave a clue. ”
King Liang sighed: "Who knows! There are unforeseen circumstances! I'm afraid that it will be difficult to protect the official position of Lord Yin in this lower house! ”
"The old man can recommend one person, maybe he can help Lord Yin......" Master Sanssouci said with a smile.
"The person recommended by the master is none other than Chu Yunfei? He...... It's just a name. A few days ago, he borrowed a jade plaque from this king, saying that he was going to Qingcheng Mountain to visit the immortals and asked. Obviously, he is wise to protect himself, how can he come forward to help? ”
Master Sanssouci clasped his hands together and said, "Why don't we make a bet?" I guess he'll get involved in the case. If the old man loses, he is willing to give the monkey brew that I have treasured for more than ten years to Master Liang. ”
"Isn't it a waste of such a good wine to people who don't know how to drink? Why don't you give it to me? A man strode into the courtyard with a peach blossom in his hand.
"Chu Yunfei? Didn't you go to Qingcheng Mountain? Which gust of wind is blowing you back again? Master Abbot of the Liang Dynasty blinked.
Chu Yunfei sat down on the chair with a butt, and drank several cups of tea before exhaling: "Good tea, it's really good tea!" Of course, it was the good tea of Master Sanssouci that led me back! Originally, I was going to just smell the tea, but I didn't expect to hear that the abbot master was willing to bet on monkey brew, how could I miss such a good opportunity? ”
Did he really want to investigate this case? King Liang was a little incredulous: "You have a clue?" ”
Chu Yunfei waved his hand: "Not yet." King Liang's jade plate will be kept with me for a few days for the time being. By the way, please tell Li Yijian, if he has any clues, it's best to let me know as soon as possible. ”
Chu Yunfei ate a few bites of food, and then swaggered away.
After he walked for a long time, Li Yijian came out of the inner room, with a little doubt on his face: "Can this be done to let him out?" ”
King Liang laughed a few times: "Of course you can, he claims to be a wine fairy, and it won't be a while to covet the abbot's monkey brew." How could he not be tempted by the fact that we had set up the game? ”
Li Yijian frowned, he hated Chu Yunfei in his heart, and he didn't like his nosy personality. At present, Chu Yunfei's participation in this case is due to the pressure of Lord Yin, and he also wants to take this opportunity to find out Chu Yunfei's true identity, this guy who is inexplicably popular all over the city!
Out of Xiangguo Temple, Chu Yunfei pressed the Yin Hall, which was a little painful. As for the ins and outs of the case, the capital has long been rumored, although some people add fuel and vinegar, but he already knows the general context of the case. There is no need to go to the scene again, because the government has already sent several groups of people to check the scene, and even if there are clues, it has long been destroyed by now. The Treasure Pavilion case and the "If I Smell" store case were committed by a group of people, so you might as well start with the "If I Smell" store.
Chu Yunfei's first target was Boss Yu. Yu's boss's new home is in a village outside Bianliang City, close to the Grand Canal. In and out of the village, except for a small road leading to the official road behind the village, you can only take the waterway. Chu Yun flew out of Xiangguo Temple and went straight to the boss's house. But when he arrived, he found that misfortune had befallen him again.
Boss Yu and Qiao Xishi have turned into two cold corpses, they are lying on the dining table, and the blood stains on the corners of their mouths have long coagulated. Qiao Xishi held a pair of chopsticks in his hands, and Boss Yu held his throat with both hands, as if he was struggling in pain.
Suicide? Or did he kill? Chu Yunfei glanced at the table, there were six dishes on it, he tried them one by one with the silver needle he carried with him, and there was no poison in the dishes. Qiao Xishi held a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and a pair of chopsticks fell at the boss's feet, besides, there was nothing else on the table, Chu Yunfei felt that there was one thing missing, as for what was missing, he thought about it for a while before he understood.
Just when he was about to continue checking, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, and when he saw the person clearly, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: He has seen the leader, it is the famous catcher of Kaifeng Mansion.
He Ma didn't give Chu Yunfei a chance to explain at all, and he didn't even ask his identity, so he tied him up as a suspect!
"It seems...... You're not up to the mark. Chu Yunfei lazily shook the chains that were tied to his hands.
"You, a murderer, dare to teach me a lesson?" Homer, who had always been arrogant, couldn't help but scream.
"You say I'm a murderer? Which eye did you see me killing? Or, what proof do you have that I killed someone? Chu Yunfei glanced at him, still with a worried expression.
"The evidence is so ironclad, you still dare to quibble? Is there a second person besides you who has been here? Homer snapped.
Chu Yunfei rubbed his nose: "Listening to your tone, and this official uniform, I guess you are the iron-faced catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, right?" ”
Homer didn't expect him to know his name, and was stunned for a moment: "Since you said that you are not a murderer, then you only need to prove your innocence, and I will let you go." ”
"Good!" Chu Yunfei jumped up all of a sudden, and the shackles that had been locked well were unexpectedly opened, causing everyone to take a few steps back!
Chu Yunfei looked apologetic: "Oops, I'm sorry!" I'm sorry! Push too hard! Speaking of this, he walked around the two deceased, "This was the scene when I arrived, these two people had been poisoned and died, judging by the body temperature of the deceased, they had been dead for at least more than a day." I judged that there must have been another person at the scene, and this person was sitting on the throne. ”
"You said there was another person at the scene, did you see it with your own eyes?" Homer grasped the slightest contradiction and hurriedly asked.
Chu Yunfei shook his head: "Judging by the food on the table. If it was just two husband and wife, how could they prepare such a sumptuous meal now that their family had suddenly undergone great changes. ”
"Then what is the basis for your judgment that someone poisoned the husband and wife?"
Chu Yunfei sighed: "He Zhutou, don't you think it's strange that Qiao Xishi is holding chopsticks in his left hand?" I had already researched before I came, and it is impossible for her to make chopsticks with her left hand. And the posture of her left hand is also very strange, if you replace the chopsticks with a sake jug with a handle, isn't it normal? So I think she must have been pouring wine on somebody, and that's when the toxicity kicked in...... Judging from these, the murderer should meet at least two conditions: first, the murderer and the deceased knew each other; Second, there is no trace of the house being turned over, and it is obvious that the murderer did not kill for money. Obviously, I don't meet either of these conditions. ”
Homer was stunned for a moment, who is this smug man?
Chu Yunfei rubbed his nose: "Okay, get to know Chu Yunfei." ”
"You are Chu Yunfei?" Homer, barely believing his ears, asked in surprise with wide eyes.
"If it's fake!"
He Ma was so surprised that his jaw almost fell, looking at his appearance, as if he was about to pounce on Chu Yunfei's body: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect to see my idol here!" What a surprise! What a surprise! I saw it alive! That's a ...... The flood washed down the Dragon King Temple...... Young Master Chu, ouch! I didn't expect to see you here today. I don't know what clues Chu Gongzi found? ”
Chu Yunfei waved his hand and asked He Ma about the situation of the Yu family. According to Homer, the "If I Smell" store has been open in Yujie for five years, and in addition to a guy who helps, only Boss Yu, Qiao Xishi and his daughter Yu Xueqing are waiting for the word boudoir, and the family of three eats and lives in the store. After the store was sold, the Yu couple settled here with their daughter.
These situations are roughly similar to those judged by Chu Yunfei based on the scene. There was no trace of a fight at the scene, Boss Yu and Qiao Xishi were killed, so where did Yu Xueqing go? Is it to escape? Or was it taken away?
