Chapter 22: The Upside-Down Man

"The lights and shadows are crowded, and the half round of autumn moon flows into the river.

Hanlou is speechless, and the bright moon shines on the old! ”

The master man stepped forward, tilted his head, squinted his eyes and immersed himself in the sea of full moon clouds like water, and said softly.

Suddenly, the people below applauded thunderously, eager to step forward one by one to give him a hug.

However, apart from the peace of Gu Changqing and Yan Mu, the only difference was Xie Ling.

The corners of her mouth twitched, and her face was full of disdain, "What kind of verses, I will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

In fact, as early as after Xie Ling came to power, she had already thought of a countermeasure for herself, and after the noise of the crowd subsided, Xie Ling took two steps forward with her feet raised, and also learned the expression that the man had just immersed in, and said softly, "The twilight clouds are full of cold, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently." This night is not good in this life, where will the bright moon look next year. ”

As soon as Xie Ling finished reading the poem with emotion, Yan Mu's applause suddenly rose, but except for Gu Changqing, everyone turned their heads, looked at Xie Ling blankly, and then looked at him blankly.

Yan Mu smiled dryly, and quietly asked Gu Changqing beside him, "Why do they look at us like this?" ”

Gu Changqing shrugged his shoulders and said innocently, "Maybe it's because you two are too powerful, well, yes." ”

Yan Mu didn't know why, but the man on the stage couldn't sit still anymore, and said, "You little girl is using the poems of the ancients to deceive people?" I think you can't compose poetry, come up and smash the field! ”

"What do you mean I can't compose poetry, listen to your one, I'm embarrassed to take it out, I'm really thick-skinned!" Xie Ling, who was speaking, felt that a raindrop fell on his head and smashed on his forehead, so he wiped it casually and continued, "What's wrong with my poem quoting the ancients, didn't you say that you were not allowed to borrow it?" Is the poetry of the ancients not as good as yours? Isn't it as famous as yours?

I see, with your cautious attitude, you are not suitable to be the champion, think about it since ancient times, which of you is not bold and open-minded! ”

Xie Ling put his hands behind his back, faced the champion, and faced the audience below, and said something amazing.

Yan Mu's head turned around, always feeling that something was wrong, Gu Changqing held his moving body, and said faintly, "I just wrote this poem by Su Shi yesterday, she should have written it down at that time, but just now, I always feel like I heard it somewhere!" ”

Yan Mu patted his head, "What is the name of Feng Le, the new one you got here, I always listen to him chant poems against him, and these words are like what he said!" ”

Gu Changqing smiled bitterly, thinking that this Xie Ling would be improvised.

It's just that in the interval between the two of them, something suddenly went wrong with Xie Ling.

Xie Ling, who had just spoken the astonishing words, couldn't help but smile evilly in his heart when he looked at the face of the man who was the champion, but there was always a wet feeling on his forehead, as if it was raining.

I didn't pay attention to it just now, but I couldn't help but feel strange at this time, and after reaching out and wiping it again, I put my hand in front of me and saw that it was scarlet, although there was a crowd in front of her, and there was Gu Changqing below, but this sudden blood rain still made her can't help but look up, and it didn't matter when she saw it, but she was so frightened that she exclaimed.

This exclamation came suddenly, and several people around him were frightened, but the man who had been presiding over the poetry meeting fell straight down as soon as he saw the blood in Xie Ling's hand.

Gu Changqing and Yanmu hurriedly came to the stage, pushed away the onlookers and walked in, Xie Ling stretched out his hand to show Gu Changqing aggrievedly, and by the way, he pointed to the direction where the blood rain on his head came from, a man with a cloak was hanging upside down on the junction of the roof and the window on the second floor of this restaurant, his eyes were staring at the boss, and he was dripping blood.

Gu Changqing grabbed a young man next to him who was watching the excitement, and said, "Go to the county government to report the case!" ”

After the young man ran out, Gu Changqing said to Xie Ling to pay attention to safety, and flew to the roof with Yan Mu.

Most of the roofs on this side of Yong'an City tend to be gentle, and unlike the steep slopes in Tongzhou that are made so that there is no water in the rainy season, they are enough to stand on them.

Yan Mu walked on the roof, first looked around, this tavern called Juhonglou is located on the side of the most luxurious street in Yong'an City, behind it is a large number of mansions, and at this time, there is a dead silence behind it, only the lights are connected into a line, like a long dragon.

Gu Changqing was obsessed with the deceased who was hanging in mid-air, obviously this person was not hanged, but died in advance from the knife inserted in the chest and abdomen, and then was taken to the roof, and his two legs were tied together, and the other end of the rope happened to be tied to a big poplar tree behind the restaurant, so that the deceased appeared to be hanging upside down on the roof and looking at everyone.

Other than that, there were no unnecessary external injuries on the deceased's body, and the fatal point should have been the two knives in the chest and abdomen.

After observing the deceased, Gu Changqing also began a subtle investigation of the roof, because it was a full moon night in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the surrounding area was brightly lit, the light was still good, and soon, Gu Changqing and Yanmu found blood stains on the eaves and wounds behind the restaurant.

Gu Changqing stretched out his hand and touched it, and then put it in front of his eyes to look at it, judging from the dryness of this bloodstain, the time of the deceased's death should not exceed two hours, that is, the time before and after the sun set.

And this will certainly not be the scene of the first crime, it can only be regarded as a place where corpses are thrown or a place where the murderer's own crimes are satisfied.

"What do you think?" Gu Changqing walked along the eaves, turned around and asked Yanmu.

"I don't have any ideas, I just think something is wrong?!"

Gu Changqing nodded, motioning for him to continue, Yan Mu thought for a while and said, "Just like you said, any slight move by the murderer may betray himself, I'm not afraid that this murderer will make the case too bizarre, I'm afraid that this murderer will kill someone and refuse to do anything, but this murderer, I think he is very likely to do it on purpose!" ”

Yan Mu looked at the poplar tree with the rope tied, and then looked at the appearance of the deceased hanging upside down, "I think he should have done this on purpose, it should be to hide his true intentions!" ”

Gu Changqing snorted, not knowing whether he agreed with Yanmu's statement or was thinking about something, but he didn't answer anything else, but instead looked carefully at the rope tied between the deceased's ankle and the tree.

After about a stick of incense, some of the people below were scared, and some were still waiting to see the excitement, and the young man who was sent by Gu Changqing to report the case to the county government had already returned with Jiancheng and the others.

In order not to destroy the state of this roof, Gu Changqing asked Jiancheng and them to wait below, and the investigation was almost done, so he slowly put the body down with Yan Mu.
