Chapter 050: A Case?
"Old man, master, where is the junior brother?" Jiang Hongdou woke up from a nap and couldn't find his junior brother again.
"He, he's gone out to buy watermelons....... By the way, for the teacher, I have a hard time thinking about it, and I am afraid that I need to go out to avoid the disaster. Don't talk about it, pack up your things for the teacher first, and go out to hide for a while. Wei Dao entered the house less than three seconds before he took out his baggage.
It looks like it was prepared a long time ago.
In the baggage, there are a change of clothes, dry food, silver taels, and books to read on weekdays.
"Where to go?"
Wei Dao thought for a while: "A place that no one can find, is there a recommendation?" ”
Jiang Hongdou shook his head and asked again, "What is the catastrophe?" ”
"The hiding place of the teacher will be discovered." Wei Dao hurriedly said, this is a catastrophe, indicating that there will be no peace in the future.
"Oh...... Why is the old man hiding from the master? They're actually pretty good sometimes. ”
Wei Dao let out a "hehe" and shuddered: "It's good?" As a teacher, I really believe your nonsense. ”
Jiang Hongdou continued: "Isn't it good to be respected? ”
"When you're my age, when you're at my height, you'll know how annoying those flies are."
"So what should I do?"
Jiang Hongdou held a cat in his arms and pointed to himself.
Wei Dao put his hand into his messy hair, grabbed it vigorously, and told Jiang Hongdou to put his mind at ease: "You're fine, you can stay here with peace of mind, and wait for Jia Sheng to pick you up, the teacher has already sent a message to him, and it is estimated that he will arrive soon." ”
"But I don't want to leave yet." Jiang Hongdou doesn't want to go back to the Imperial City Division, and he also doesn't want Daban to find a place for her to live again, it's good here.
"Then you can stay here and let your junior brother take care of you." Before Wei Dao left, he also pointed to his house and gave two more instructions: "There is a letter left by the old man to the gangster in the house, and there is also a trick promised to him 'Hidden Sword Shock', telling him to go to the bookcase to get it himself...... Okay, don't say much, the teacher is really leaving, and if you don't leave, it's too late...... Take care. ”
Wei Dao picked up his bulging baggage and left the small courtyard where he had only stayed for three years. Only Jiang Hongdou was left standing alone under the eaves, holding a sleeping and snoring little black cat in his arms, listening to the world with his ears blankly.
"Take care......" Jiang Hongdou muttered softly.
……
……
In the middle of the night, the bright moon hangs high.
A disaster in the afternoon quickly fermented in the capital, even if the Imperial City Division tried its best to suppress the spread of the news, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that there are people who buy news with a lot of silver, people's hearts are unpredictable, there are too many temptations, and the news that Yunyang Hou died violently in his study spread.
By the end of the night, most of the mansions in the capital had already known the news, and a decree came from the palace: order the Imperial City Division to investigate the matter thoroughly.
It's hard to keep a low profile in this case.
Hou's study.
The senior servant from the Imperial City Division was inspecting the body of Yunyang Hou who was sitting on a chair, although Xu Zhou wanted to come forward to help, it may be an occupational disease, but at this time, he, the number one suspect, obviously could not directly touch the corpse.
In the afternoon, Xu Zhou was interrogated in various ways, but without exception, no matter who interrogated him, his rhetoric before and after did not change much, so that others could not find flaws, so that people felt that Xu Zhou was too calm and made a confession in advance.
He just said that when he entered the house, Yun Yang Hou might have been wrong, and after shouting a few times and not answering, Yun Yang Hou took the dog. During this time, he stayed where he was, did not come forward, and did not touch the corpse.
"Come, have a glass of water." Zhu Lie stepped forward and handed Xu Zhou a cup of tea.
Xu Zhou took it with both hands and held it in the palm of his hand: "Thank you, my lord!" ”
Zhu Lie nodded, stood beside Xu Zhou, hugged his chest and looked at the busy work behind the desk, and said inadvertently: "Huahan grass is not an ordinary poisonous weed, how do you know?" ”
Huahan grass is indeed not an ordinary poisonous weed, this thing is native to Nanshu, only grows in the dark and damp four-striped silver snake snake nest, and later a mountain doctor accidentally found that this grass is toxic, so he tried to plant it artificially, but it took more than ten years, and it took countless efforts to barely feed.
Because it grows in Nanshu, the requirements for the environment, soil, and moisture are extremely high, not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary doctors may not know.
There are records in the books, but who reads the books of serious people.
"It's Wei Chengzuo, my master told me."
Zhu Lie nodded meaningfully and sighed: "Then your master is not an ordinary person." ”
Xu Zhou also nodded and took a sip of tea: "My lord, have the people who went back to summon my master come back?" ”
Zhu Lie shook his head: "Not yet, it's almost there." ”
"My lord, can I ask you for something?"
"Say."
"This matter has nothing to do with my family, she is a woman who sells alcohol, she is afraid of killing a fish on weekdays, and she has to wait for me to go back every night before she sleeps. If I don't go home so late, I'm afraid that she will be worried about whether she can trouble the adults to send someone to my ward for the rest of her life, saying that I have something to do in the county government and can't get out. ”
Zhu Lie glanced at Xu Zhou and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid is still a Gu family, okay...... Zhu helped with this favor. ”
One afternoon is enough time for the Imperial City Division to understand the whole story.
The suspect Xu Zhou, whose background has also been investigated, is an ordinary, ordinary, and featureless little jailer, who came to fetch flowers and cold grass on the orders of Yawei of Ping'an County.
The little jailer had no reason to kill Yunyang Hou, and he didn't have the strength.
Yunyang Hou was a tough guy from the battlefield in his early years, and he had good kung fu.
Xu Zhou can't get close to Yunyang Hou's body, let alone kill Yunyang Hou quietly in the study.
What's more, Qiu Ying was outside the study at that time, how could she hide Qiu Ying from any movement in the study?
In other words, there is a high probability that Yunyang Hou died before Xu Zhou entered the house.
"Thank you, sir!" Xu Zhou arched his hand. Zhu Lie said that it is a trivial matter, and it is a matter of effort.
At this time, the preliminary investigation of the Imperial City Division was also completed.
Dressed in white, he held a wooden plate in his hand, which contained a short silver needle taken out of the back of Yunyang Hou's head, and said in a deep voice: "Preliminary investigation, Hou Ye died of poisoning, which is the poison of flowers and cold grass!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the room were surprisingly unanimous.
Of the existing White Tiger Gang cases accumulated in hand, several of them died from the poison of Hua Hancao and died at the hands of the playboy.
Today, Yunyang Hou also died of Huahan grass.
Is there such a coincidence?
It seems that the two cases can be merged into one, and the murderer can also be easily locked down for now: the Demon Cult Dude!
But some people don't think so, such as Qiu Ying, who was present and had nothing to do.
"Carry it down." Zhu Lie waved his hand.
The servants were quick with their hands and feet, brought a stretcher and put Yunyang Hou on it, and slowly carried it out of the study.
Immediately, there was a mournful cry from the courtyard.
"Daddy!"
"Father's ......"
