Chapter 57: A Different Way

Zhang Jiusheng waved his fist and swallowed his saliva, as if his feet were weighing a thousand pounds.

Seeing him like this, Yun Sheng's heart softened, and only at this time would Zhang Jiusheng really rely on her a little bit, and he was more like a big child who needed protection.

"Come in." Yun Sheng stretched out his hand, the smile on his lips was soft and soft, and the wind was irresistible: "Guan Tou knew that when the Xiao Mansion was destroyed, he knew that you might visit the scene, so let the catchers under his hands clean up the mansion." ”

"Really?" Zhang Jiusheng looked at her with expectant eyes.

"Of course, don't you feel at ease about the head arrest?" Yun Sheng's hand kept reaching out to Zhang Jiusheng, Zhang Jiusheng licked his lips, straightened his neck slightly and glanced into the courtyard, and then held Yun Sheng's hand, which was soft and warm, giving people a great sense of security and confidence.

Sure enough, not to mention the large splatters of blood, there were not even those extremely small blood spots.

"It's so clean, I can't even tell it's been destroyed." Zhang Jiusheng muttered, reaching out to touch the clean wall.

Yun Sheng looked at it, smiled, and said, "But in order to restore the scene, Guan Chu wants his subordinates to cover the original bloodstains with ink as quickly as possible, so that when adults visit the scene, they will not be afraid." ”

"Who said I was scared?!" Zhang Jiusheng retorted loudly, but soon his voice softened again: "This kid is quite careful. ”

"Do you have to go back and add moonsilver?" Yun Sheng leaned over and asked with a grin, as if she was about to be added to the moon.

Zhang Jiusheng looked down at her, there seemed to be a galaxy in his bright eyes, he chuckled, stretched out his hand to cover her forehead, and then pushed it away, saying, "Don't worry, I won't add moon silver to you." ”

"Humph!" Although Yun Sheng was not very happy on his face, there was a smile in his eyebrows.

When the two of them searched room by room, it was just a result, and the murderer didn't intend to waste time at all, he just wanted to kill the family as soon as possible, so it took almost no time from the time he entered the house to the time he finished, and most of the victims were killed in their sleep.

Some of them probably woke up with pain after their necks were cut, and they struggled for a short time after waking up, but because their throats were cut, they couldn't scream, and finally had to watch themselves die.

As they walked back, Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng gradually lost their minds to laugh, and their moods became heavier and heavier, until they came to Xiao Hengyan's room. Although Xiao Hengyan's body has not been found yet, nor has Xiao Hengyan been found, it does not mean that he is still alive or that he has not had an accident.

Because of his disappearance, the case is not optimistic.

It is also possible that the other party deliberately kept Xiao Hengyan, what does he want to do? No one guessed.

Looking around the room, Yun Sheng found that the room was a little messy, the round stool was knocked down, and the futon was also very messy, and it could be seen that the owner of this room was emotionally when he got up, but as for whether he was afraid or something else, no one else knew except himself.

"There was no sign of prying open in the room, he opened it himself." Yun Sheng stood in the doorway, looked down and checked the latch, and found that it was unscathed, so he came to this conclusion.

Zhang Jiusheng shook his head with a smile: "You don't know that Xiao Hengyan is extremely arrogant and domineering, exactly like his father." Actually, we just came out of the room of the master and lady of the Xiao family, didn't you notice it? The latch of their room was not closed at all, and it was placed in the corner. ”

Yun Sheng frowned: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng smiled, this was within the scope of his knowledge, he reached out and touched Yun Sheng's head, quite an elder's gesture, and said, "Young man, you don't understand this, right?" This shows that the father and son of the Xiao family are extremely confident, and believe that no one has the courage to break into the Xiao Mansion. You also saw that except for Xiao Hengyan, who was not found, there were thirty-seven corpses lying in the coroner's room, of which eighteen were palace guards, and these eighteen people represented the safety of the Xiao Mansion, but you have examined their corpses, and their deaths are no different from those of other concubines, they are all cut throats with a knife. ”

"Those ...... guards" Yun Sheng hesitated.

"Those palace guards are all people who Xiao Ting'an dug from other places, and they have some martial arts. But now it seems that most of them are just embroidered pillows, and it's okay to prevent ordinary thieves, to prevent this kind of killer, it's not enough to even stuff people's teeth, according to Zhang Tong, that knife method is like cutting vegetables, right? Zhang Jiusheng patted Yunsheng on the shoulder and walked into the house.

Yun Sheng nodded, and stopped caring about the latch.

Zhang Jiusheng stood in front of Xiao Hengyan's bed and pondered, Yun Sheng saw him like this, and leaned over and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"Look at his quilt, can you think of anything?" Zhang Jiusheng asked.

Yun Sheng stared carefully, and only touched his chin for a long time and said: "The wrinkles on the futon show that the owner lifted the quilt by himself, not was dragged out of the quilt, which also ruled out the possibility that Xiao Hengyan was not in the Xiao Mansion that night." ”

"Yes."

"Then Guan Chu doesn't have to search for Xiao Hengyan in the whole city." Yun Sheng blurted out, but denied himself in the next second: "No, you still have to find it, if the murderer wants Xiao Hengyan to die, he will kill him that night, but the murderer didn't, but left Xiao Hengyan behind, maybe the murderer wants Xiao Hengyan to have other roles." ”

"Yes."

"But what's the use of Xiao Hengyan being such a gentleman?" Yun Sheng couldn't figure it out.

"How do I know?" Zhang Jiusheng blurted out, in exchange for a cloud and a white eye.

"My lord, can't you give me some advice?"

Zhang Jiusheng was stunned: "Didn't I just help you correct the misunderstanding of the door latch?" ”

Yun Sheng opened his mouth, didn't say anything, snorted coldly and turned away, Zhang Jiusheng looked at the back of the little arrogant and couldn't help laughing.

When the two of them left the Xiao Mansion and walked on the street, they heard that some people were already talking about the destruction of the Xiao Mansion, but in just one day, most of Fan County was about to know, Zhang Jiusheng frowned, and said secretly: "What's the matter?" ”

"Don't worry, Guan Arrest will not talk about the case casually, let alone such a big case as destroying the door, he must have told his subordinates that he would not make such a mistake." Yun Sheng immediately comforted.

Zhang Jiusheng shook his head: "I know Guan Chu won't say it." ”

"That ......"

"It must be Xiao Ting'an's relative, who talks a lot and talks a lot, makes a false statement, and turns around and asks Guan Chu to arrest him and put him in prison for a few days to set an example." Zhang Jiusheng half-squinted his eyes and said viciously.

Yun Sheng covered his mouth and smiled, "My lord, where are we going now?" ”

Zhang Jiusheng thought for a while: "Go to the teahouse, since the case has been leaked, let's listen to what the people have to say?" ”

After all, the reputation of the Xiao family father and son in Fan County is not very good, and they often do evil, and now that something happens, it may be very happy for the people, and for the government, this will bury the clues deeper. No matter what they ask, the people will subconsciously think that the government is on the side of the Xiao family's father and son, and then they will begin to add resentment to the government.

The two of them casually found a teahouse in the downtown area, this time it was not flirting, so Zhang Jiusheng took Yun Sheng to choose a window position in the hall, asked for a pot of tea, and began to secretly observe the people of Fan County who were drinking tea and chatting and farting.

"Did you hear that?" A man with a beard on his face, holding a small teapot in one hand, resting on a bench with one leg, leaning on the square table with half of his body, deliberately lowered his voice, and said to a skinny but bright-eyed middle-aged man at the same table: "The Xiao family has been destroyed." ”

The middle-aged man was startled and asked again and again, "When did it happen?" How do you know? Isn't it fooling me? ”

Then I heard the man say, "I can't lie to anyone, what happened last night." Lu Zhi, you know, right? As for Old Man Xiao's distant relative, he only came out of the yamen this morning, and he reported the case. ”

The middle-aged man furrowed his eyebrows in disbelief and took a cautious sip of tea.

"Don't believe it, I also went to Old Man Xiao's house to see, there is a catcher guarding the door, there is no one in the courtyard, and I can't hear people's voices." The man bared his teeth and looked particularly ridiculous.

"Tut-tut, Xiao Ting'an, this old thing has finally been retributed, and I don't know who he offended to suffer such a disaster." The middle-aged man shook his head and sighed slightly.

"I think I deserve it!" The man poured a big sip of tea and said viciously: "Old man Xiao and his rabbit cub don't know that they have harmed the girl, if it weren't for Old Man Xiao, I wouldn't be alone now, and I don't even have a pensioner to send to the end!" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, his face became even more sad, patted the man's shoulder, and said, "You can be regarded as revenge, right?" Your daughter Quanxia has knowledge and understands you, and she is the most filial. ”

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as I said it, I saw the five big and three rough men wiping their tears, almost sobbing: "I don't have the ability to avenge my daughter, and I don't know which hero is a hero, if I see it, I must kneel down him." ”

"Alas......"

Zhang Jiusheng and Yun Sheng listened to it for an afternoon, and what they heard was nothing more than the evil things done by the Xiao family's father and son, and the people applauded it.

The two of them know that this case is difficult.

"What to do? The word of the market is the fastest and widespread, and now almost everyone knows that the Xiao family was killed, they have done so many evil things before, even if someone knows the whereabouts of the murderer, I am afraid they will not tell us about the government. If we ask, we might be told a false lead. Yun Sheng's face was full of sorrow.

"Indeed." And Zhang Jiusheng only spit out these two words, and then stopped speaking.

After returning to the yamen, he met Zhang Tong who was walking towards him, and the first thing he said was: "I can't find any clues on the corpse, the murderer is very clean, he is a veteran, and he has not left any clues, so we may have to go another way." ”

"What about the murder weapon? Do you have a clue? Yun Sheng asked.

Zhang Tong shook his head: "It's a special dagger." ”
