Chapter 5: The Murder of the Drunken Dream Building
Zhang Chun, who had just lifted his pants, heard the commotion outside, and hurriedly pushed open the door and came out.
I saw that outside the room on the east side of the second floor, there were many people gathered.
Most of the people who looked inside were men watching the excitement, and the girls in the drunken dream building walked away from afar, not wanting to be contaminated with the bad luck.
Zhang Chun didn't want to go over, after all, this kind of case is all a commotion, probably which yamen encounters it, even if anyone is unlucky.
They were entangled in the escape of prisoners in Jingzhao Mansion, and it was impossible for them to fall on their heads.
Either the patrol battalion came over to deal with the fights and brawls, and messed up, or they went to the Dali Temple and went through a long and inefficient process - probably that is, it was submitted to the Criminal Department, and then the paper was pressed into the corner of the table and dragged until the bitter master was dealt with by others, and it was just over.
After all, a character who goes in and out of a second-rate place has no capital worth paying attention to.
However, Zhang Chun saw a familiar head, and after thinking twice, he walked over.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The official errand handles the case! ”
Zhang Chun pushed aside the crowd and pulled Chen Liu, who was mixed in the crowd to watch the excitement.
Chen Liu originally heard someone shouting and rushed here as soon as possible, but because he didn't fully accept his current identity, he didn't come forward to check.
At this time, Zhang Chun pulled him in, and Chen Liu also checked the corpse that was lying on the ground.
"Who was the first to see the dead?!"
After checking the pulse to confirm that the person was dead, Zhang Chun's face was heavy, and he shouted loudly to the people around him.
At this time, a woman in orange clothes was pushed out of the crowd, her feet trembling, her eyes dodging, and she did not want to enter.
"Say! Take everything you see and hear, no matter how big or small, one by one! ”
Before the woman in orange could speak, the old bustard also noticed the mess upstairs at this time, and quickly called a few thugs to come over.
After she saw the corpse lying in the room and Zhang Chun with a heavy face, she immediately sensed that something was wrong, and quickly asked the thugs to drive away the prostitutes and girls who were watching the excitement around.
Then his face changed, and he walked over with a face full of disbelief and crying.
"Ouch, why is this person lying in my drunken dream building? How else do we pick up customers? Ouch! ”
Her kind of fuss made Zhang Chun and Chen Liu not very happy, but they didn't say much.
Zhang Chun turned his head and asked Chen Liu and said:
"Are you literate? Will you take notes? ”
Chen Liu nodded, and then Zhang Chun turned his head and said in a deep voice:
"Bring pen and paper!"
"Zhang Daguan, do you have to believe that this has nothing to do with our drunken dream building, we are all good citizens!"
"Bring pen and paper!"
Faced with the words of the old bustard evading responsibility, Zhang Chun naturally did not believe it.
In this kind of place, where are there any good people in this kind of place where dirt and dirt are hidden and forced to become prostitutes? Except for some poor people, they all eat people and don't spit out bones.
He doesn't care about it on weekdays, but at this time, he doesn't want to listen to her complain here and delay time.
When the old bustard heard that Zhang Chun was so serious and unsympathetic, he didn't dare to say any more. No matter how arrogant she is in this drunken dream building, she can only please this kind of people in the official mansion - who said that there is no girl under her who can associate with the official master?
Soon, pen, ink and paper were placed on the table.
After Chen Liu was ready, he originally planned to pick up the pen to make the paperwork, but when he heard Zhang Chun say a few words, he was stunned for a while and nodded.
"Let's be honest."
The woman in orange glanced at the "mother" who was fanning, and after being glared at, she slowly spoke.
"As soon as the slave family and Master Jiang finished doing that, Master Jiang suddenly asked the slave family to get some wine, and when the slave family came over, they saw that Master Jiang had fallen to the ground, and blood was flowing under his neck."
"That's all?"
The woman glanced at "Mom" again, then replied timidly.
"Hmmm......"
Zhang Chun looked at the woman in orange, then at the old bustard, knowing that he couldn't ask anything, and then waved the woman out, closed the door, and left the old bustard.
He stared at the old bustard for a while, picked up most of the rice paper left by Chen Liu, shook it, and then said:
"Mom's opinion is ......"
"Nature is to make big things small, and small things into small things."
The old bustard looked outside, looked at the blank testimony, looked at the two people in front of him, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, and stuffed them into Zhang Chun's hands.
"This is my honor for both."
is full of flattery, and he is naturally scolding his mother in his heart.
But Zhang Chun didn't care, he just said dissatisfied:
"That's it?"
"Look at my hand, there are still a few that haven't been taken out."
The old bustard is ready for bloodletting, and the little ghost of the yamen is also difficult to serve - I don't know if there will be the next batch when this batch comes.
can only break the fortune to avoid disasters, and after the matter is over, the orange-clothed woman who is looking at him must clean up well.
At that time, if you still look at yourself, who is afraid that you won't be able to cause trouble?
No matter what you think in your heart, you still have to nod your head and send the money on the surface.
Zhang Chun took the money, nodded reluctantly, and then drove the old bustard out, and then tore the rice paper casually.
"Brother Zhang, ...... this?"
"Anyway, it's useless, the testimony written outside the yamen is empty words, and only those in the yamen may be true. The old bustard gave the girl a look, didn't he just let her pick up the unimportant ones? ”
Zhang Chun casually agreed a few words, and then gave half of the silver ticket to Chen Liu, and then instructed him to have some experience in doing things in the yamen.
"In the future, don't come forward blindly for this kind of thing, whoever causes trouble will be in trouble. It is estimated that the people who will patrol the battalion and Dali Temple will have to laugh at us. ”
"Remember to write that testimony in the future when I taught you to do it, and then I can use it to ask for some oil and water. Don't use it for a good family, but this kind of old bustard, it doesn't hurt to make some money. ”
"The above also acquiesces, after all, we have a lot of money, remember to go back and give some to the top."
One by one, listening to Zhang Chun's eloquent words, Chen Liu could only nod.
Although his remarks are not correct by the standards of his previous life, even in his previous life, he is hiding dirt and dirt, and no matter how good he is, he doesn't dare to say that there is a pool of clear water below, and he can always touch some fish with a lot of thoughts.
Although he hadn't dabbled in it before, he knew it.
And the first one was almost immediately fulfilled, and the chaotic crowd attracted the patrol battalion.
When they saw Zhang Chun poking his head out, they were not envious because he was fiddling with the silver ticket in his hand, but some ridicule and ridicule.
"It turned out that the brothers of Jingzhao Mansion took the lead, then good luck to the two of you, let's go!"
There are more places to fish for oil and water, who would want to make so much trouble with so much dead money.
Zhang Chun snorted a few times, then turned to Chen Liu and said:
"See?"
Chen Liu didn't speak, just looked at the corpse, looked at the lively crowd who still hadn't left, and looked at the soldiers of the patrol battalion who were far away.
He had just heard Zhang Chun talk about how to deal with this kind of matter, and most of the Dali Temple, the patrol battalion, and the criminal department ignored it and hastily closed the case.
Of course, Jingzhao Mansion is actually a raccoon dog, scooping up some oil and water, and then dragging it, pointing to the defendant to withdraw the lawsuit, so there is no need to make a big deal about it.
But when they met the top iron, they couldn't do things well, so they embarked on a long, boring and troublesome trial process.
Who told our wise and martial Emperor His Majesty and the crown prince to love the people like sons?
Not to mention a murder, ordinary fights and brawls must definitely be dealt with impartially.
Zhang Chun saw that Chen Liu was hesitant and his face was full of embarrassment, so he asked:
"What's wrong?"
"I'd like to look it up."
"Such a head of iron? Not afraid of accidents? ”
"Hmm...... I'd like to check it out...... Will it affect Brother Zhang? Brother Zhang took ......"
Chen Liu originally planned to investigate the case by himself, let Zhang Chun stay out of the matter, and he shouldered all the problems.
However, he didn't expect Zhang Chun to look indifferent, and after stuffing the silver ticket into his arms, he said:
"What does it matter? Do you have to do something to collect money? ”
It makes sense, Chen Liu couldn't refute it for a while.
The logic of robbers is naturally irrefutable, but the wicked have their own wicked grinding, which can be regarded as a manifestation of heavenly reason, and the retribution is unpleasant?
However, Zhang Chun changed his mouth and said:
"But we don't have much time, and if the boss finds out that we are delaying our business, there will be no good fruit to eat."
"Thank you, Brother Zhang."
"Good brother, what do you say thank you, see you outside."
So, the two head catchers, who had just known each other for a few hours, inexplicably became good brothers, took over private work, and were ready to find some guilt outside of the official business of burning their eyebrows.
However, the good brothers split as soon as they formed a team, because Zhang Chun sat down at the table and gave Chen Liu a sentence:
"I won't investigate the case, you have to rely on yourself to use your brain."
Chen Liu has a black line, this northeast ...... The big brother of Jingzhao Mansion is really ...... Unique.
But he can't eat the leftovers from the murder scene like Zhang Chun.
Chen Liu originally wanted to remind him to be careful of poison, but the peanuts had already entered his stomach, and the other Zhang Chun did not eat or drink wine.
Seeing that Zhang Chun could manage himself well, Chen Liu stopped thinking nonsense and looked at Master Jiang, who had not been cared about for a long time.
Mr. Jiang estimated that he was a wealthy businessman with a little money, which could be seen from the clothes, but he didn't bring a small servant when he went out, and he estimated that there were no relatives with fame at home - after all, there was no fame or a half-official position, and according to the imperial court regulations, it was not allowed to hire servants.
"This person came during the day, it should be inconvenient at night, and when he has free time during the day, he may have a wife at home and came out to steal."
"There is a deep knife wound on the right side of the neck, the skin and flesh are very smooth, deep into the cervical vertebrae, but it is not cut off, and the blood on the ground is obviously caused by neck bleeding."
"There is no discoloration of the lips and throat, and there is no obvious bleeding from the seven orifices, plus there are people coming and going, so it should not be poison."
The deceased's face was not frightened, and he may have been killed by a sneak attack. The money has not been lost, and robbery is excluded. ”
……
Listening to Chen Liu's analysis of talking to himself one by one, Zhang Chun also became a little interested, listened carefully, and watched him look for clues with a serious face, only to make sure that he was not enthusiastic for a while.
When Chen Liu probed the window, he suddenly saw that the patrol battalion soldiers he had encountered before were chasing someone, kicking over many hawkers' stalls along the way, and the goods were scattered all over the ground, and no one was in charge.
Zhang Chun also came out to look, and instantly found that the person was one of the fugitives they were hunting, so he directly climbed down the window, jumped in front of the fugitive, kicked him out, and then put the knife on his neck.
"His grandmother's, it's addicted to grabbing things?!"
The commander of the patrol battalion scolded that the credit he had just found was actually cut off, and it was still the person he had met before.
