Chapter 4: The Case of Murder (6)
"The kid surnamed Sha didn't walk the rivers and lakes, he just thought it was done by the people of the rivers and lakes, but he didn't know that even if he was from the rivers and lakes, it was extremely rare to commit such a crime. By the way, stinky wood, you haven't been to the rivers and lakes, you haven't been out of the Nangong family, how do you know that the people of the rivers and lakes generally don't do this? ”
"Although I have never walked the rivers and lakes, every time the people of the Nangong family return to the door, they will record some things about the rivers and lakes in detail and archive them in the door for the younger disciples in the door to learn and study, first, to understand the situation of the rivers and lakes, and secondly, in case of any accidents, the new Nangong disciples can quickly integrate into the rivers and lakes, not like a fool who has just debuted. My uncle had walked the rivers and lakes for many years in his early years, and he also taught me many things. ”
"Hehe, no wonder I've been out for months, and I don't know, you kid hasn't been out but understands this, it turns out that someone has already taught you. Fortunately, I also stole a lot of bezoar dog treasures from Stinky Flower, otherwise I'm a stupid fool now, I don't know what to do, hehe. ”
"Although the sand catcher has not really walked in the martial arts, he looks shrewd and capable, thoughtful and calm, and his analysis is the way, although he is not good, he must be a talent to solve the case, and he has a very set. By the way, Brother Zhu, you are Jinyiwei, do you have the right to borrow people from the local government? ”
"Hehe, young master, although I am a brocade guard, but I have never been an official, that is, I have recklessly acted with my majesty today, and I still feel uncomfortable after I finish it, alas, I still call Hanako That's right, young master, I don't have any official life, even if I wear a dragon robe, I'm still a monkey. However, Jinyiwei is under the direct management of King Yan, and it is not easy to borrow a few officials, and it is still no problem to borrow a few people to help do things. Wood do you want to borrow this desert? ”
"Yes, the two of us walked the rivers and lakes this time in order to find clues about the murder of the second uncle, and we need a master of handling cases like Sha Zhutou. In terms of skills, I don't think it's a big problem, but if we want to analyze the situation and find clues, we will definitely not be as good as this sand catcher, if we can bring him, I believe it will be of great help. Nangong Ling nodded.
"Ha, it's not easy, just say hello to Wu Guangzu tomorrow, you can pat your ass, that bullshit county master can't be happy to fart, huh?"
"There is no problem with the county order, but it has to be agreed by the head of the sand catcher." Nangong Lingdao.
"That's natural, but I don't think it's a problem. If it weren't for you and me just now, this sand catcher would definitely treat us as unlearned and unskilled, and if you want him to follow you, he might not be able to look down on us, hehe. Zhu Wenyu said with a smile.
Nangong Ling smiled silently.
"Ha, but aren't we both so miserable? Gentleman brother? Like? Uncle and Leiber both call me a little monkey, but no one thinks of me as a gentleman. Ha, it's kind of interesting, but my virtue is still like a son? It's almost the same as saying that it's a melon seed monkey, haha. ”
Nangong Ling couldn't help laughing out loud anymore: "It's really about the same." ”
"It's just that I don't know if there are any relatives in this desert, if I can't leave, there is no way." Zhu Wenyu suddenly sighed again.
Nangong Ling was stunned, and so was he together, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
At the moment, the two of them had nothing to say, so they asked the store to send another copper basin to wash and sleep.
The next morning, the desert brought five horses, an old man and a young man. According to the desert dialect, among the two people who accompanied him, the young one was Qin Tieniu, who was the catcher who pursued the case with him, and the other person was a well-known local puppet, Qin Minxian, who was known as the "living judge" in the local area, but was the father of Qin Tieniu. It is said that Qin Minxian has retired from the post of the former county magistrate because of his old age, leaving only two or three apprentices who are still working in the yamen. It's just that because the two tragic cases of destroying the door are too big, the county commander Wu Guangzu personally came to the door to ask him to go out of the mountain to assist in the investigation of the case, and he is an extremely experienced expert.
Zhu Wenyu nodded with satisfaction, turned over on the horse, and shouted, "Brother Sha, let's go, let's see how your horse is." Zhu Wenyu and their own horses naturally stayed in the inn, and the shopkeeper already knew last night that there were two Qincha lords, so he didn't dare to slack off and serve wholeheartedly. Zhu Wenyu didn't care, but he didn't know that the shopkeeper's heart had already blossomed, and Lord Qincha stayed in a small shop, and he had to blow it in the years to come.
A group of five people and five horsemen first went to the south of the city, and sure enough, they did not go far, and then entered a village, there was a large piece of rubble at the head of the village, and a few wild dogs were wandering in the rubble, and obvious traces of fire could be seen in the ruined and ruined walls, and several scorched black wood fell to the ground indiscriminately, which had already been smoked through black, showing that the fire was burned very thoroughly.
The corpse had naturally been disposed of by the government a long time ago, and Zhu Wenyu couldn't see anything famous when he looked at the pile of rubble, except for the ruins or ruins, so he had to run aimlessly to look a little farther away. Nangong Ling looked much older, still searching carefully in the rubble, but it seemed that the scene had been inspected very clean under the leadership of the desert catcher, and he couldn't see anything Nangong Ling had found. Nangong Ling beckoned to the desert, and the desert understood, and took it over.
"Uncle Qin, can you tell me the results of the autopsy."
That Qin Min first talked about himself in the desert, bowed down and said: "Lord Yuqincha, the eagle head ...... last night."
"Eagle Head? Oh, by the way, I'm not Qincha, that Master Zhu over there is, I'm just a friend of Lord Zhu. Nangong Ling finally found a chance to explain this matter clearly, otherwise he would have to wear the hat of Lord Qincha, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Enlightened Childe." That Qin Qizuo really changed his name, but he still bowed and saluted: "The eagle head is this sand catcher, although he is young, he has repeatedly solved strange cases, and he is very famous in the local area, and everyone gave him the nickname 'Falcon', and after a long time, he became the head of the eagle." In these two cases, the county ordered the adults to order the villains to conduct autopsies. Last night, the eagle boss came to me and said that Lord Qincha wanted to inspect the scene, and Xu wanted to ask the villain something and let the villain come with him today. ”
"Oh, sir, please go on." Nangong Ling waved his hand slightly.
"Yes, after the villain's autopsy, the Gao family has a total of 27 people, including eight members of the main family, five servants, ten maid women, and four nursing homes. Seventeen of them were hacked to death by the knife, either in the chest, back or throat, except for one who was cut again by cutting off the back throat of his right arm, the rest were all fatal with one knife. The remaining four died from the short blade, all wounded in the throat, and were killed by a single stab; Five people died from fists and kicks, two of them had slightly cracked skulls, which should have been hit hard in the head, and the remaining three were forced to the chest and their organs were cracked, which should have been caused by kicks in the rivers and lakes; The remaining boy, a 13-year-old boy, had no wounds and probably died in the fire after being stunned. Judging from the technique, there were at least four perpetrators, either with a knife or a short blade, and two of them were good at fists and feet, but they could also be fists and feet used by the two people who used the knife. If Childe wants to know the details of each person, the villain will explain them one by one. ”
"Oh, no, thank you, sir, it's fine enough. The same is true for the Xie family in the city? ”
"It's pretty much the same, it's also a death from long knives, short knives, fists and kicks, etc. The Xie family has two nursing dogs, which were also kicked to the ribs broken, and the neighboring households are less than 30 zhang apart, but they did not hear any sound that night and saw the fire, which showed that the person who started the action was fast and neat, and even the dog did not make a sound to kill all the people. ”
"It's brutal and inhumane. Silently shot to kill him, obviously he came prepared, not improvised. ”
"The same is true of the lowly office." Desert stood by and interjected.
"Can you describe the depth of the knife wound, is the body still there?"
Desert knew what Nangong Ling wanted to know, so he stepped forward and clenched his fists and interjected: "Yu Gongzi, it has been nearly a month since the tragedy happened, and the government has buried the corpses, but the wound locations of all the corpses have been left with pictures, please take a look." With that, he took out a stack of drawing paper from the blanket behind his back.
"Thank you, Sha Zhutou is thoughtful." Nangong Ling took it with a smile.
"Childe and Lord Qincha came to check the scene of the murder together, and they thought that they must see these objects, so they brought them in advance." Desert smiled disapprovingly.
"Well, I'll see." Nangong Ling unfolded the figure and looked at it carefully.
"Wood! Wood! Look at this!" Zhu Wenyu rushed from the forest in the east, his tone was extremely shocked, and he was still holding a shiny object in his hand.
"Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"
"Brand." Zhu Wenyu handed it over.
Receiving it in his hand, Nangong Ling's heart was shocked, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a silver medal, with a small seal on one side and the word "wolf" on the back. He glanced at Zhu Wenyu in surprise, Zhu Wenyu blushed and nodded: "It's exactly the same!"
"Where did you find it?"
"Over there, the woods." Zhu Wenyu pointed with his hand, and it turned out to be a small forest twenty or thirty zhang away to the east of the Gao family's mansion.
Yes, this silver medal and the silver medal worn by Zhang Qianshan of the "Waning Moon Hook Soul", except for the different words, the size and weight patterns are completely the same! And Zhang Qianshan is the murderer of the "Thunder Swordsman" Nangong Lei, and this silver medal is also one of the two clues that need to be verified when Zhu Di, the king of Yan, asked Zhu Wenyu to walk the rivers and lakes to find clues. Unexpectedly, before he went to Tangmen to verify the origin of the poison, he first encountered this important clue in Qufu County.
"Back to the inn!" Zhu Wenyu waved his hand, and left without looking back on the ground. Nangong Ling and the other four followed one after another.
Back at the Lu'an Inn, the shopkeeper was busy coming out, Zhu Wenyu still didn't say a word, threw the reins towards the shopkeeper, ran upstairs, rushed into the door, poured a cup from the teapot, and drank it in one go.
