Chapter 134: Surveying the Site
readx;? Yang Jing followed behind Luo Jin and walked around Zhao Gaoyi's mansion, which was low-key on the outside and extravagant on the inside, and it was not elegant and deep, full of nouveau riche style, but it was also in line with a local military general like Zhao Gaoyi. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There is a chic garden in the back house, it is said that Zhao Gaoyi's original match Zhao Chen came from a scholarly family, quite talented, and when he was young, he was also a famous and talented woman admired by everyone, and people said that a flower was inserted in cow dung.
Yang Jing didn't pay much attention to this garden, and then came to the scene of Zhao Gaoyi's death.
Zhao Gaoyi is obsessed with martial arts, in order to maintain his essence and blood, he rarely gets close to women, and concubines like Hongji who are constantly accommodating are mostly to serve as a façade for men, and Zhao Gaoyi rarely loves and makes love with him.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Gaoyi lives in the practice room, and only goes to each room to sleep for one night three or five days a month.
It is said that the original Zhao Chen was not very willing to marry Zhao Gaoyi, and the two did not have much communication after getting married.
Fortunately, Chen has read Nüshu and is quite virtuous, and on the surface, he still gave Zhao Gaoyi enough face, and also fulfilled the obligations of a wife and gave birth to a pair of children for Zhao Gaoyi.
In addition to taking care of the children is to manage the backyard, Zhao Gaoyi is also happy to be clean, and has accepted a few concubines, but instead of objecting, the Chen family managed the back house in an orderly manner, and the big and small wives and concubines did not dare to make too much trouble.
Zhao Gaoyi also lived in the practice room with peace of mind, and on weekdays, he said that those concubines were Zhao Chen's original wife, and they couldn't enter this practice room.
When he arrived at the front of the practice room, Yang Jing stopped and instructed Luo Jin: "Commander Luo has brought me all the people who have entered the practice room, and this official needs to inquire one by one." ”
After Luo Jin nodded and left, Yang Jing began the investigation at the scene.
At this time, the door of the practice room was half-hidden, and when it was pushed open, it was found that there was a severed latch on the ground, and the remaining one was still on the door.
This is also confirmed by the marks left in the joints of the door leaves.
According to Luo Jin, on the day of the incident, the maid wanted to come over to serve Zhao Gaoyi to wash, but knocked on the door several times but no one answered, so the maid called many slaves, and the guards of the courtyard knocked open the door and found that Zhao Gaoyi had fallen to the ground and had no breath.
After pushing the door open, Yang Jing asked Wang Buliu and Lu Changan to stay outside the door, and entered the room by himself, first lying on the ground to observe the footprints on the ground.
This practice room is spacious and bright, but the floor tiles are bluestone, and there are no footprints or anything like that, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of solving the case.
Yang Jing pondered for a moment, and then let Wang Buliu and the others enter the room.
There are six large bright windows on the left and right of the practice room, because it is summer, so there is no curtain paper, you can see that the wooden lattice on the window is intact, and the window is at least eight or nine feet above the ground, and there are no traces on the wall, Yang Jing asked people to find a ladder, climbed the window to check, the top was full of dust, and did not leave any traces, which also ruled out the possibility that someone sneaked in through the window.
Judging from the current situation, if it is really a homicide, then this is a case of murder in a closed room.
Of course, whether Zhao Gaoyi died violently, committed suicide, or killed him still needs to be investigated.
After coming down from the window, Yang Jing looked around in the room, the outside of the practice room is a place to practice martial arts, the weapon racks on both sides are full of swords, guns, swords, halberds, and a plaque is hung in the middle hall, with the word "martial arts" written on it, and below the plaque is a large picture of the tiger roaring deep in the mountains, although it is full of collectors' seals, but at first glance it is a fake used to fill the number.
Because of the Song Dynasty and even the previous dynasties of the Song Dynasty, there were not many famous painters who painted tigers, especially in the Song Dynasty, the Danqing masters liked flowers, birds, fish, insects, wind and snow, as well as some character pictures, and few painted tigers.
That is, in order to make a living, the down-and-out painter will draw things like tigers and jackals according to the tastes of the nouveau riche or martial arts.
Bypassing the painting wall in the middle hall, there is Zhao Gaoyi's bedroom at the back, which is where Zhao Gaoyi was found.
This bedroom is not small, but there is no large and comfortable shelf bed, there is a couch in the middle, and the quilt on the couch is very messy, and Zhao Gaoyi died on this couch.
Yang Jing squatted in front of the couch, didn't move, and looked carefully, Wang Buliu behind him suddenly spoke: "The old man remembers that Commander Luo said that Zhao Gaoyi is not allowed to enter this practice room..."
Yang Jing turned his head, glanced at Wang Buliu, and motioned for him to continue, but Lu Changan over there was not to be outdone, and interjected: "Someone has come in, and it's a woman..."
Wang Buliu looked over with a smile, but saw Lu Changan twisting a long hair from the left side of the pillow.
Yang Jing was a little puzzled, at this time, men and women have long hair, and without advanced instrument detection, Lu Changan was able to tell whether the hair was a man's or a woman's?
Wang Buliu nodded, there was some appreciation in his eyes, and then said: "The eyes of the shopkeeper Lu are also vicious, this hair is indeed a woman's, Zhao Gaoyi practices martial arts hard, and cherishes Jingyuan, in order to practice martial arts, he is not even close to women, it can also be seen from the weapon rack outside, he uses spears and gourds for the longest time, it can be seen that Zhao Gaoyi is taking the way of using brute force, such a warrior is full of blood, vigorous hair, and thick hair, and the long hair in the hands of the shopkeeper Lu is slender and soft, and it will never be Zhao Gaoyi's. ”
Yang Jing has never practiced martial arts, so naturally he will not consider it from this aspect, what surprised him was that after Wang Buliu's description, even if he had not seen Zhao Gaoyi, he had already sketched the outline of Zhao Gaoyi's general image in his mind!
Lu Changan is also a secret inspector of the Imperial City Division, and he has been engaged in secret spy work for many years, and after his mind was broken by Wang Buliu, he was also a little unconvinced, and immediately asked: "Mr. Wang's eyesight is not bad, I don't know what Mr. Wang else can see?"
Wang Buliu didn't seem to notice the disbelief in Lu Changan's tone, and said with a slight smile: "Old decay is not something you can see, but you can smell it." ”
Although it has been four or five days since the crime, there is still a faint smell of fat powder on the bed, and the old man dares to confirm that the person who stays here is a mature woman, and the old man already knows who she is. ”
Yang Jing has long known that Wang Buliu is a strange person, in addition to not forgetting it, this old man's sense of smell is also quite shocking.
The older women usually use a stronger-smelling fat powder, while the younger women apply a light smear and use a fresher fat powder.
Previously, Zhao Chen brought a group of subordinates to greet Yang Jing outside the mourning hall, and Wang Buliu could naturally smell the smell on their bodies, so it was not surprising that he wanted to confirm who was staying here.
Yang Jing was also glad in his heart, thinking that he really didn't see the wrong person, everyone said that there was an old man in the family who had a treasure, and he took Wang Buliu to investigate the case, which was right!
"Who does Mr. think this woman is? Zhao Chen's family, Hongji, or the concubines of other rooms?"
Wang Buliu bowed his head with confidence and said, "There is no doubt that it is Zhao Chen's family!"
Yang Jing was not too surprised, but felt a little unreasonable, because from the situation I learned earlier, Zhao Chen and her husband shared a different dream, although the charm still exists, but there is a young beautiful concubine like Hong Ji, Zhao Gaoyi has no reason to choose Zhao Chen, who despises each other in his heart.
And just now he looked through the quilt, and what he saw also supported his inference, maybe Wang Buliu's sense of smell and inference were not wrong, but it was not complete.
"There is nothing wrong with what Mr. said, but there is something Yang is not clear, please take a look. ”
Yang Jing said, and lifted the quilt on the bed, but saw that there were four or five pale yellow marks left on the bed, but anyone who has been married or close to a woman should know what this mark is and how it came from.
"If it is Zhao Chen's family who stays overnight, let me ask the old husband and wife, Zhao Gaoyi is a martial artist who cherishes Jingyuan, how can he be so ridiculous that he can enjoy all night? Besides, if it is Zhao Chen's or Hongji's wives and concubines, why didn't Zhao Gaoyi go to their room, but brought them to this bedroom where the bed is stuffy and the floor is hard? Isn't it more comfortable in their room?"
When Yang Jing said this, Wang Buliu and Lu Changan couldn't help but think deeply, if you speculate according to common sense, Yang Jing is indeed right.
But Wang Buliu is very sure, whether Zhao Chen is happy with Zhao Gaoyi and his wife, this is not sure, but what is certain is that Zhao Chen definitely slept on this couch and left the fat powder on the quilt!
"What do you mean by other concubines? young and beautiful and excessively demanding? If this is the case, then the possibility of Hong Ji is relatively great..."Lu Changan is an old spy, and he has been in the business for many years, and he can be regarded as reading countless people, and he also has the ability to observe words and colors.
Hongji has a pair of peach blossom eyes, plump lips, a water snake waist and peach buttocks, a plump upper body, but short and powerful legs, such a woman can not be fed easily.
However, Wang Buliu shook his head: "This woman is also dependent on fat powder, usually speaking, she will always use the same kind when she is used to it, although the fat powder smell of Hongji is relatively strong, but unlike Zhao Chen's, there is no residual breath here, and the old decay is definitely not her." ”
Hearing that Wang Buliu said this, Lu Changan was obviously still unconvinced, and was about to argue, but Yang Jing waved his hand, after all, he didn't want this right-hand man to have a gap and affect unity, so he immediately reconciled.
"What the two of them said makes sense, but this official thinks that it is not Zhao Chen's family, nor Hongji and other concubines who let Zhao Gaoyi sacrifice essence yuan to ask for it, but the daughter of Longshu Tusi!"
Yang Jing mentioned this, Wang Buliu and Lu Changan couldn't help but suddenly, Zhao Gaoyi robbed the daughter of Longshu Tusi, this Dong family woman is brutal by nature, like a wild horse that is difficult to tame, and it is the most able to arouse the desire of warriors like Zhao Gaoyi, and she is a barbarian woman, she doesn't need to dress up with fat powder, so naturally she won't leave a strong fat powder smell!
And there are several places on the sheets that are torn, either the two of them are too happy, or it can only be that the woman is resisting fiercely!
In this way, Yang Jing's speculation is more reasonable!
Because Zhao Gaoyi wants to ** that dragon girl, only the practice room is the most suitable, and he can't place that girl in the inner house openly!
But this practice room is closed, according to the information provided by Luo Jin, when Yahuan and the servants came to bang on the door in the morning, Zhao Gaoyi was the only one in the room, so where did this dragon girl go? Where is it now? Could it be that this dragon girl was humiliated and killed Zhao Gaoyi? Why did Zhao Gaoyi have no wounds or traces on his body?
