The Oiran Case Chapter 25 The Skull Found in the Back Garden
Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion.
Chen Lei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and his original wife have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they have gone from two little guesses to raising eyebrows, and once became a good story in Beijing. However, three years ago, Mrs. Shangshufu of the Ministry of Rites suddenly fell ill and passed away in a hurry. In another half a year, the three-year-old pearl in his palm also passed away suddenly.
Since beating his wife and daughter, Chen Lei seems to have been hit hard, no longer marrying wives and concubines, and lingering in Fengyue places all day long.
It is said that every time the lady is born or on the death day, the lord will be alone in the room, and he will not come out for a long time, which is touching.
The old man was escorted to the two factories by the people of the West Factory yesterday, and the people of the Ministry of Rites and Shangshu Mansion were worried about when the master would come back, but they didn't expect that the next day, not only did the master not come back, but the eunuchs of the West Factory came to turn over again.
Seeing that Zhang Hele, the commander of the West Factory, straddled the saber and commanded his subordinates to rush into the back garden of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites one after another, the head of the housekeeper hurriedly nodded and bowed, "Master Zhang, this and this...... I didn't just come here yesterday. β
Why is it here again today!
Zhang Hele was too lazy to deal with the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, but continued to direct the scene.
"Give me all the time. Detective Yun Xuan said, the bones are in this back garden, even if you dig three feet into the ground, then you have to dig them out for me! β
Some of the eunuchs in the West Factory held shovels, some held shovels, and kept digging in the back garden of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and it didn't take long for the whole good-looking garden to be in a mess.
"Oops! Ladies and gentlemen! Tap your hands! These flowers are precious! "The butler's heart was about to break. These potted flowers are all collected by the lord from all over Dajin, and some of them are imported from foreign countries, which is precious.
Zhang Hele nodded when he heard the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites say this.
"You're right, old man. Indeed, these flowers are very expensive when they look at it! Someone's coming! While looking for things, these precious flowers were moved to the West Factory for Lao Tzu! Go back and ask a knowledgeable person to take inventory, and look at his Ministry of Rites Shangshu Chen Lei's Yulu, how many years will it take to afford such a back garden! β
It's just a product and two factories, and the Governor's Mansion is luxurious and noble!
You must know that their master is still from the prince's house, and many treasures have been moved from the prince's mansion to the governor's mansion.
Now I have met Yun Xuantan to change the feng shui of the Governor's Mansion, that is, it has fallen to a low point! It is difficult to say whether it will be able to rise again in the future.
Zhang Hele said this very clearly: he is suspected of Chen Lei's personal pockets!
When the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites heard such a serious reprimand, he hurriedly explained: "Admiral Zhang, you have misunderstood, this flower is not expensive, it is not expensive at all!" β
Zhang Hele smiled when he saw his trick-like tone change back and forth.
"The housekeeper is worried that we are rummaging things and raiding the back garden of the Ministry of Rites and Books? Don't worry, we're not just copying the back garden, we're also copying your front yard and the main hall! β
"Someone! Flying pigeon book West Factory, add more manpower! Today, we have to count and see how much grain Chen Lei can earn in a year as a scholar of the Sanpin Rite Department! β
When the housekeeper heard this, his eyes were dark, and his body almost didn't stand.
It's over, it's over! Supervise the things of hundreds of officials, this is an iron determination to catch his own master for corruption and bribery!
If the old man has a clean breeze on his sleeves and cleans himself, then it is better to say...... But it's the old man......
In other words: without checking!
Just when the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was wondering if he should simply leave it alone and pack up his baggage and go back to his hometown, a noisy voice sounded not far away.
"Master Zhang! Got it! Got it! Holding shovels, several eunuchs sweating profusely had smiling faces.
The housekeeper of Shangshu Mansion didn't know what they were digging up, not to mention that he was also old and his eyesight had always been relatively poor. Driven by curiosity, I stepped forward to take a look.
At this glance, he was completely frightened and sat down on the ground.
Be...... It's bones......
The bones of the white flowers, and they were chopped into pieces one by one with a large knife or something......
As the shovel dug down harder, half of the skull suddenly turned out in the black soil where the flowers and plants were planted.
β¦β¦
East Factory, Cell.
Gu Yangjing sent people to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites to find out, and Shen Wuhe and the others continued to be imprisoned in the Dongchang cell, waiting for their fate.
During the lunch break, Shen Yingying also sent a gift to her 21st century father.
Shen Wuhe opened the baggage and saw that there was a book in it, which was the "Crossing Self-Help Guide" that he had given to Shen Yingying before, and it was exactly the same! Shen Wuhe suddenly had mixed feelings. At this time, I realized how useless and space-taking up the book I had given me before!
In the middle of the night, Shen Wuhe opened the last page of "Crossing the Self-Help Guide", and now there is one more painting next to the tomb that was originally standing, and it is written: The tomb of my father Shen Wuhe.
There is also a small text written next to it: "Dad, don't be afraid if you want to hang up this time!" I've bought you a grave in the suburbs, and we'll be neighbors in the house then!" β
Shen Wuhe closed the book with tears on his face.
He really raised a good daughter who was "filial"! It's a touching father-daughter relationship!
β¦β¦
East Factory, Governor's Mansion.
Before waiting for Zhang Hele and the others to report, Gu Yangjing and Shen Yingying could only look at each other and sit opposite each other.
Shen Yingying smiled awkwardly, "Overseer, don't keep looking at me." β
Looks weird.
Gu Yangjing still had a straight face, "Ben Du likes to face the gate when he is alone, if Yun Xuantan feels uncomfortable, just don't sit there." β
When Shen Yingying heard this, she immediately choked.
There are three chairs in the lobby of the Doge's Palace, one of which is located in the far east, facing the main door. The other two are placed on both sides of the entrance, which means that as long as you sit on the chair, you can feel Gu Yangjing's sight from time to time. Although people are looking at the main entrance! But I always feel uncomfortable!
I guess this guy is too fierce. Beauty is beautiful, but like a cold-faced Hades, those who don't know think they are here to ask for their lives.
Gu Yangjing is the kind of natural misanthropic face, when he is not smiling, the corners of his mouth are always facing downward, his lips are very thin, his eyebrows and eyes are slender, and when his eyes are staring in a certain direction, he doesn't know that he thinks he wants to collect debts.
I always feel that this guy's next sentence is: yes, pay back the money.
"That's right."
Gu Yangjing remembered something, and as soon as the words came out, the detective on the opposite side blurted out: "No money!" β
Gu Yangjing: ??
Seeing that the beauty factory governor rarely looked confused, Shen Yingying said twice, "What does the folk girl mean, what does the overseer have to do?" β
"Yun Xuantan can know if the other party has killed anyone, so can Yun Xuantan judge how many people this governor has killed in total?"
He's curious about it.
He doesn't take pleasure in killing. But as the governor of the two factories, too many people wanted his life. In addition, the prisoner's mouth must be pried open, which can only be the corpse of a companion placed in front of the prisoner.
At the age of sixteen, he joined the West Factory, and at the age of seventeen, he merged the East and West Factories, and in just one year, he didn't know how many people he had killed and how many torture tools he had used to secure this position.
Now that I think about it, when I said at the age of sixteen that I was going to join the West Factory, even my father couldn't understand him.
When the golden prince reaches the age of sixteen, he will be arranged to study detective-related matters in various departments, and he can officially take over the department when he reaches the age of eighteen.
Quan Dajin, who doesn't know that he Gu Yangjing's identity is special. But he is the prince, as long as he never mentions this matter, it is estimated that no one dares to point out the lack of roots in front of him, but he took the initiative to invite Ying to join the West Factory when he turned sixteen, and directly confirmed the folk rumors.
Now that he is about to complete three years in the West Factory, he is sometimes really curious about how many people he has stabbed in the past three years.
Shen Yingying's face was a little ugly when she heard this, blue for a while, white for a while.
He also spoke hesitantly, "I want to ...... I want a woman...... Help His Highness calculate...... Do the math. β
Seeing her like this, Gu Yangjing guessed a few points in his heart.
"Is the pulse fake, if you touch the other party, you can know that the other party is the murderer?"
Seeing that Shen Yingying still didn't answer, Gu Yangjing said again, "The ability of the mysterious detective is not to be able to associate with the other party's body, knowing that the other party has killed those people." β
Although he had never heard of such a thing, he had seen it in his book, and someone who touched the dead could see what had happened before the deceased was alive. There are people who know what happened before and after life, and it is not surprising that there are people who know the murderer.
Shen Yingying felt that she couldn't answer this, so she simply shut up.
Gu Yangjing only acquiesced to her.
I remembered something again.
"Then Yun Xuantan saw Ben Du kill people yesterday?"
Shen Yingying's amber eyes kept blinking, pursed her lips and didn't say a word, but she just wanted to complain in her heart:, did this guy take Ben Xian's script? Can you guess this?!
Gu Yangjing was clear, and his dark ink-colored eyes flashed: "It's hard to believe that Yun Xuantan shook Bendu's hand for so long yesterday." β
His methods of killing people are sometimes scary when I think about them. It's hard for this female detective to hold him for so long in order to take care of his emotions.
Truth be told, he never felt that there was anything missing. But the world doesn't think so.
This female detective probably looked at him with pity.
I saw Gu Yangjing touch his nose, "Those famous things that were put in Zhaoxue Fang before, if Yun Xuantan wants to love them, just keep one or two for himself." β
"Huh?" Shen Yingying, who had been muffled and didn't speak, finally sent out the biggest confusion of the day.
Gu Yangjing thought that Shen Yingying was overjoyed, and he didn't know how to be grateful for a while. Also, those famous things, just pull one out, they are all worth a thousand gold.
Where did I think that Shen Yingying was thinking: I'll go, big brother, you sent to ask for food?
This immortal doesn't covet one or two precious things in your house! This immortal covets seventeen or eighteen! When the time comes, who in the world knows that this immortal has already stolen the dragon and turned the phoenix!
The two of them looked at each other for a while.
Just as Shen Yingying was muttering if she wanted to look away first, the voice of a spy eunuch sounded outside the gate.
"ReportβAdmiral Zhang, please seeβ"
It seems that the bones have been found.
Sure enough, a white-powdered eunuch with a thin figure and raised eyebrows walked in with a big knife.
"Overseer! Lao Zhang has found it! With that, he picked up a piece of his skull.
