Chapter 46: Getting to the bottom of things
As soon as Liu Ling's words fell, the old bustard glanced at a thug beside him, and the thug immediately disappeared.
Liu Ling went on to analyze the case: "If the murderer is dealing with Tan Xiang, who is struggling to resist, and suddenly attacks Wang Yu, who is about to run out, he will definitely be overwhelmed."
And Tan Xiang, who was in an extreme collapse at this time, would definitely use this opportunity to escape or scream, and it was impossible for the thugs on the night patrol outside not to hear it.
If you want to keep both women silent, there can only be one reason, there is not only one murderer, but two people who committed the crime.
There is also a large amount of Yuanyang left on Tan Xiang's body, which has surpassed a man......"
"You mean there was more than one man who raped Tan Xiang?"
"Yes, can you tell me who those four officials are now?"
The old bustard said without thinking: "One is Ge Feng, the sacrificial wine from the Sipin Guozijian, the other is the Zuo Tongzheng Tang side of the Zhengsipin Tongzheng Division, the other is Han Wubin, the Shangshu of the Zhengerpin Household Department, and the last one is Xu Ze, the Shangshu of the Zhengerpin Criminal Department. ”
Liu Ling frowned, as soon as she heard the name of Han Wubin, the head of the household, there seemed to be a thorn piercing her heart, this is the person who is the most suspicious in her father's place, that is an unforgettable memory, unexpectedly, she didn't have time to check him, she would meet him here.
There was another person who surprised Liu Ling even more, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was Xu Yun's father, but he didn't expect him to be involved in this homicide case.
If Xu Yun knew, how would she feel?
Liu Ling imagined the scene of the four officials together, very confused, the four can only be called colleagues in the officialdom, but they have nothing to do with each other in government affairs, and they have nothing to do with each other, so they can come together, unless there is something other than government affairs?
Liu Ling asked again, "When you first walked into this room, what did you see the four officials doing for the first time?" ”
The old bustard thought for a while and replied: "They are all lying on the carpet and sleeping, and they sleep quite soundly, and the dead Wang Yu is lying not far from them, and it doesn't seem to interfere with their sleep."
When I saw the tragic situation of Wang Yu and Tan Xiang dead, I was so depressed that I screamed, which woke them up, and after that, my mother I don't describe it, you can definitely imagine their expressions.
Mom, the first thing I said was that they killed me, but each of them flatly denied that they did it, and what was even more infuriating was that they also threatened me, saying that if I imposed the blame on them, I would definitely break my mother and me into pieces.
Do you say it's easy for me, mother, four high-ranking officials, each of them has the ability to crush me like an ant. No one can be offended, so they can only find another way, and they think of you. ”
Liu Ling couldn't understand that if two of the four high-ranking officials were murderers, killing Wang Yu and raping Tan Xiang when they were committing the murder, there should have been a lot of movement, why didn't the other two know about it? Or have they been awakened and are they deliberately pretending not to hear?
The so-called nest of snakes and rats is in caustic!
Perhaps, as the old bustard said, the four of them were next to Wang Yu, who was drenched in blood and had an extremely terrifying death, and they were still able to be indifferent and sleep so deeply.
Either they are all accomplices, disguised together in order to avoid suspicion.
Either they've been drugged or they don't know it.
Liu Ling asked again: "The four officials should have an entourage around them, why didn't my mother mention it?" ”
The old bustard thought for a while and replied: "I heard that the entourage around them has been sneaked to the restaurant opposite the Avon Pavilion, saying that as long as they don't leave the threshold of the Avon Pavilion, they are not allowed to pick them up. ”
"Mom, the four officials were familiar customers of ours before?"
"That is, that Lord Zuo Tongzheng Tang has been here a few times, but the other three have no memory, so they should have never been here."
"Lord Tang is familiar with Wang Yu and Tan Xiang? Or have you ever had any grudges? ”
"When Lord Tang came here a few times, it didn't seem that he was looking for Wang Yu and Tan Xiang, and he wasn't even very familiar with it, where did the grudge come from."
Wang Yu, Tan Xiang and Master Tang are not familiar with each other, and the word grudge is difficult to gain a foothold, so Liu Ling can only dispel the idea of vendetta: "Those sisters, which room did you let them go to, let's go there first?" ”
"Huh?" The old bustard was puzzled, the procedure for investigating the case should have interrogated the four most suspected officials first, but Liu Ling went to find those girls who had nothing to do with the case, could it be that at this juncture, he was still in the mood to reminisce?
Liu Ling walked for a while, turned around and saw that the bustard didn't move, his expression was strange, so he pouted and said, "Mom, don't think about it, I went to them to understand the case, but not to catch up on the old days, without further ado, let's leave quickly." ”
"Oh, right now." The old bustard suddenly realized and hurriedly followed.
All the women in Avon Pavilion were gathered in another room on the second floor, three doors away from the murder scene.
As soon as Liu Ling stepped into the door, it was as if he had entered a thousand flowers, and many women who were as beautiful as peaches and plums, wearing various skirts, were all gathered together, some silently wiping tears, some sobbing, and some simply crying.
These girls who were implicated because their relatives made mistakes, had no choice but to bear the thoughts of parting from their relatives, and they had to force a smile every day to cater to all kinds of men they didn't like, obviously, there was a lot more sadness and bitterness in their hearts than others.
Now, the sisters next to them have been killed for no reason. Invisibly, it added a lot of indescribable panic to their originally fragile hearts.
When they saw Liu Ling, they immediately surrounded them, a small Lingzi on the left and a Xiao Lingzi on the right, babbling to know the cause of death of Wang Yu and Tan Xiang from Liu Ling.
Liu Ling didn't mention the case too much, just blindly comforted, don't let them worry, the murderer will definitely be punished, and so on.
After a while, Liu Ling walked into the two Miao Fang and Yao Ju, who had served the four officials together with Wang Yu and Tan Xiang: "Two sisters, when you two were with Wang Yu and Tan Xiang at that time, were there any abnormalities among the four officials?" ”
Miao Fang thought for a while, and replied first: "I didn't see it!" This time, I heard that it was the Tang master who was the protagonist, and the other three were only invited. ”
"Did they behave excessively like the other drunkards?"
"Except for passing glasses and changing glasses with us, they are all in a decent manner, and they never deviate at all. At that time, I still sighed vigorously, I have been in Avon Pavilion for so long, and I finally met a few serious people. ”
"What do you hear them talking about?"
Miao Fang thought for a moment, and said, "This ...... I didn't hear them talk about any important topics. It's more about wine and meat, talking about the past and the present, anyway, it's more of a topic that doesn't make sense.
In the end, after three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually became drunk. Yao Ju and I were so drunk that we vomited several times in the middle of the process, and we were almost paralyzed. Only then did we have to retreat to our bedroom to rest, leaving only Wang Yu and Tan Xiang to wait. ”
