Chapter Thirty-Nine: Murder!
"Head."
"Guo Zhutou's class died four regular soldiers, seven gangsters, and there are blood books left by the Iron Courage Shenhou at the scene, judging from the corpse, it is indeed the handwriting of this person."
Along the way, there were quick catchers who summarized the situation to Liu Rusong.
The results are appalling -
One night!
Just one night!
Not only did the head catcher Guo Sheng die at home, but the four regular servants under him also lost their lives, and there were seven idle servants below.
A total of twelve people!
It is not an exaggeration to say that 'last night Luo embroidered, blood flowed like a river'.
Too insolent!
It's too spicy!
"This person—"
After Liu Rusong heard the summary, his eyelids couldn't help but jump, and his heart trembled.
Wait to get to Guo's house.
"Ahh
"My son!"
"My poor son!"
In the distance, you can hear the crying from the Guo family.
Outside the house, many people were watching, talking about it in twos and threes, most of them were curious, and most of them were gloating.
Guo family.
Guo Sheng.
This is not a good person, not a good person.
Guo Sheng has been a head catcher in Luoxiu County for 14 years, and his own qualifications are far deeper than Liu Rusong and others, and he is also from a 'fast catching family', from his grandfather to his second uncle to him, three generations of fast catchers, three generations of head catchers, and they have long taken root. In addition, Guo Sheng's methods are clever, his conscience and bottom line are not high, and he has made a lot of money in all aspects in the past 14 years, which made Liu Rusong and others blush.
For example, the two-entry mansion in front of it is one of them, worth no less than two thousand taels.
But it is said that this is only one of Guo Sheng's properties, and the remaining property, title deed, and cash are worth immeasurable, in short, it will not be less.
There is force in itself.
There is money in the family.
Further up, the second uncle of the family is still an official, although it is only the inspection from the ninth grade of the head catcher, but in the end, it is also a higher level, and he has a wide range of friends.
The second uncle is on top.
Guo Sheng is also well-connected, especially with the wardens in the yamen, and he can also talk to many wealthy businessmen in the city, which can be described as well-connected.
In this way, although the means are a little out of line, power and money open the way, and it is smooth sailing and a happy life.
To this day—
……
"My son~ah~~, how can I live without your mother~hey~~!"
Lu Damiao followed Liu Rusong into Guo's house, and the crying in the courtyard became even harsher.
When I looked out, Guo Sheng's mother was lying next to the two charred corpses and crying, crying bitterly, and the tail note turned nine and eighteen times, just like crying and mourning.
She died of her father-in-law, mother-in-law and husband in her early years, and now she is crying for her son.
When I looked up again, the big main house had collapsed in half, the inside and outside were scorched black, and the doors and windows were all destroyed.
"My mother!"
"Is this a fire?"
The accompanying officers looked inside and out, glanced at each other, and looked at each other one by one.
"It's—"
Tang Zhicai grabbed a handful of powder in the ruins, put it in his hand and took it, his eyes flashed with surprise: "This is flour?!" ”
He was a little unsure.
"Flour?"
"Where did you get the flour from the main house?"
The others were stunned when they heard this, and they all went to look at it, and found that it was indeed a handful of flour that had not been completely burned.
How can there be flour?
Lu Damiao is a newcomer, and he follows behind without saying a word, pure chaos.
This is the policy that Cao Ren taught him before entering the yamen-
Say less and do less, listen more and watch more.
If the wicked commit a crime, they will really exert their strength.
If you punish the evil and eliminate the evil, just grind the foreign workers.
Although the name of the 'Iron Courage Divine Marquis' is terrifying and he has committed many major crimes, all of them are justified and well-founded chivalrous deeds.
For example, this time.
Guo Sheng's evil deeds are difficult to write.
It's only because his relationships in all aspects are intertwined and the officials protect each other that there is no.
And this time, together with Guo Sheng, Zhang Kui and other twelve people who died overnight, Lu Damiao heard about it in just ten days after entering the county government, and they were not good goods, all of them had pickled things, and there were many disasters.
In such a world, killing such a person is, of course, very happy.
He didn't want to be troubled.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing if something really found out and traced the identity and origin of the 'Iron Courage Shenhou'?
There were a few regular servants present who seemed to have the same idea as Lu Damiao, or they simply didn't want to do things and didn't want to use their brains, and they were also messing around.
Fair.
The scene was inspected.
After listening to the report, Liu Rusong came to the Guo family's nursing home and subordinates to ask: "When did it happen last night?" What was the movement at that time, tell me about it? ”
A man who was embarrassed, tearful, and injured was Guo Sheng's roommate, and replied tremblingly: "It's about the third watch, I slept in the side room last night, and I heard the voice of the master in the room not long after I fell asleep, and I got up and wanted to wait, but I heard a loud noise, the doors and windows were lifted, and the house was on fire." ”
Thinking back to last night, the maid was still in shock.
It's too sinister!
If she runs slower, if it weren't for the fact that she couldn't serve the lord in the past few days, not only the lord and his wife would have died this night, but her life would not have been guaranteed.
"Did you hear anything unusual before the accident?"
Liu Rusong frowned and continued to ask.
"Nope."
"I didn't sleep well, and I woke up with the slightest movement. If there had been a big commotion before, I wouldn't have gone unheard. ”
The maid shook her head.
This is also true.
She is a maid in the room, not only to sleep with the master, but also to serve the old lady to get up at night, of course she doesn't dare to sleep too steadily.
But in this way-
"How did the thieves enter the yard, and how did they get into the house?"
Liu Rusong is an old man.
He asked more than ten subordinates of the Guo family, two nursing homes, including Guo Sheng's three sons, all of them one by one, and there was nothing abnormal.
Even last night, before the incident, I didn't even hear a dog bark.
What's even weirder is that-
"After the accident, we rushed to check before we had time to put on our clothes, and we saw someone rushing out wrapped in a quilt in the firelight, and the black shadow flashed, and we ran over the wall. I chased Lao Chen and I in two alleys but no one was found, and I was worried that I didn't dare to chase it anymore in the yard, so I retreated. ”
"The thieves are very fast."
"And thoughtful."
"Liu Zhutou, please see, this is the stool in the main house, I don't know when it was moved under the wall. If it weren't for these two stools, it wouldn't have been so easy for the thieves to get out over the wall. ”
The Guo family nursing home took Liu Rusong to the courtyard wall.
Sure enough, two stools fell to the side, and there were footprints on them, and the thief obviously stepped on the stools to get out of the courtyard.
But—
"Holy!"
"After doing such a big thing, you can still think of taking two stools out of the fire and running away? Was this premeditated, or was it talented?! ”
A few regular catchers are almost stupid.
Ask.
If it were them—
Never mind!
If it were them, they wouldn't even be able to turn over the Guo family's yard, and as soon as they came in, the dog barked, and they had to finish playing.
Not a notch.
Liu Rusong's face was also much more serious, he looked at the courtyard wall and stools, and then returned to the ruins of the main house at the scene of the crime to see it in person. ”
"It's just a bed, it's pretty thick."
The maid was frightened and stupefied, and asked and answered.
Side.
When Lu Damiao and Tang Zhicai heard this, they looked at the two quilts that were burned on the bed and at the door in the room, and they were all stunned.
"It's not!"
"Boss!"
"This thief came to the Guo family to commit a crime, did he still carry a quilt with him?"
So strong?!
So sassy?!
Are you here to kill, or are you here to sleep?
Or—
"Stealing?"
"No, it won't!"
"I can't say, Guo Sheng's original partner died early, this one was married later, I heard that she was a big beauty!"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I can't believe it, and there is a fire of gossip burning in my heart.
But in addition to the above, there are more suspicious -
"Not only do I carry a quilt with me, but I also have a soaked quilt to prevent fireworks. The quilt inside has been burned and only the appearance remains, but most of the bed at the door is left. ”
"But where does the water come from?"
Liu Rusong's brows furrowed even deeper.
Now it's tricky!
