34 The case is suspicious
After saying this, Zhao Ruocheng seemed to come back to his senses, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's a bit embarrassing to say, it's in vain that I, Zhao, have studied martial arts for half my life, and now I am one of the 'six sword messengers' of the Emei Sword Sect. Fortunately, when Guan Gong saw me turn around and run, he did not embarrass me, but turned around and left on his own, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye, and at that moment, I clearly saw Guan Gong holding the Green Dragon Glaive in one hand, and a bloody human head in the other. ”
"With the disappearance of Guan Gong, the door of a guest room next to the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' was immediately pushed open, and a strong man in disheveled clothes jumped out. Later, I learned that this strong man was General Salhesa, the personal guard of King Heng on this trip, but he was awakened by my cry, so he rushed out, but I did not know him at that time. Seeing that the door of the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' was wide open, and a strong smell of blood was permeating all around, General Nasa hurriedly rushed into the house, and then let out an exclamation. When I saw someone else appear, I immediately became bold, and I also stepped into the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion', only to see that in the dark room, there was a faint headless male corpse lying in a pool of blood, obviously the head of Guan Gong who had just appeared had his head cut off; when General Sa and I lit the lights in the room, General Sa immediately exclaimed again, his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted: 'King Heng has been killed!'"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ruoregret let out a long breath and closed his eyes again. Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he put on this posture, and it was clear that he was going to end his speech. Sure enough, Bi Changxiao had already said: "Yes, this is Mr. Zhao's personal experience that night. After that, General Sa's sentence of 'King Heng was killed' immediately woke up the people nearby, and they all gathered around the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion', and at the same time, Steward Fu and Mr. Ouyang also rushed to the scene together. ”
I only heard Nafu's housekeeper say: "That night, the villain happened to be in the room with Mr. Ouyang, drinking tea and chatting with Mr. Ouyang, and stayed until late at night. Since the 'Longyin Pavilion' was originally located in the area of the guest room, it was about the second watch, first heard Mr. Zhao's shout, and then Sa Jiang's several exclamations, the villain was surprised, so he and Mr. Ouyang rushed to check; due to Mr. Ouyang's inconvenient legs, it took more time on the road. However, except for Mr. Zhao, who witnessed what happened, the two of us were the first to come to the scene of the murder. ”
After Steward Fu finished speaking, Bi Changxiao continued: "After Steward Fu and Mr. Ouyang arrived, about half a pillar of incense had passed, and I had already rushed outside the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion'. Steward Fu and I both knew the identity of King Heng, and when we saw this tragic scene in the house, we were so frightened that we were colorless on the spot. Fortunately, Steward Fu was used to seeing strong winds and waves, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to completely close the entire Bifu and not let anyone go out, and at the same time asked people to summon all the people in the mansion to the outside of the 'Longyin Pavilion' and count the number of people one by one. After that, about a stick of incense, Yixiao and Changming rushed over one after another, and Tu Senior and Bingtai Girl were the last to arrive; as for the sister Yixiang, she was not in the house that night, but went to the back mountain of Longdong Mountain to play alone, and did not rush back to the house until dawn. ”
After hearing Chang Xiao's words, the entire murder case was almost told, and Xie Yixiang couldn't help frowning. It turned out that the so-called Zhao Ruoregret saw Guan Gong manifest and kill people with his own eyes, but he only saw a burly man dressed as Guan Gong coming out of the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' where King Heng lived, and he was still carrying a bloody human head in his hand, but he didn't see how this Guan Gong started to kill.
You must know that the headless male corpse in the front hall at this moment was clearly chopped off after the person died, so the so-called "blood flowed all over the ground" and "strong smell of blood" could never come from this corpse. According to this speculation, there are only two explanations, one is that the blood at the scene of the murder is fake, and the murderer is suspicious, and I don't know what he wants to cover up, and the other is that these people in the front hall are lying now.
Xie Yixiang immediately denied her second explanation, although there are still many things she doesn't understand in everyone's story, but there are generally no flaws, not to mention that the whole case has happened, they must have told the investigation officials at all levels many times, even if it is a fictional story, it has already been made up seamlessly. Now in front of Chang Daren and General Song, they will definitely not tamper with it indiscriminately.
Bi Yixiao saw Xie Yixiang pondering, and immediately added: "We counted the number of people in the mansion that night, except for Yixiang, all the people were clearly in the mansion, and except for King Heng and General Sa, they never received outsiders that night. Because it happened so suddenly, and the consequences were so serious, we were all a little overwhelmed at the time, and we even forgot to report to the official. When it was dawn, a group of officials from Chengdu Mansion came to visit the government, and the Song staff general was also among them at that time. ”
Xie Yixiang nodded hurriedly, sorted out the whole matter again, and asked: "In this way, on the night of the crime, it was Mr. Zhao who took the lead in going outside the 'Longyin Pavilion', and he also witnessed the murderer Guan Gong. With Teacher Zhao's shouting, the general Sa came out of the guest room next to the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion', and then found the headless corpse in the pool of blood in the house, thus alarming the people nearby. After that, Steward Fu and Mr. Ouyang also rushed to the scene of the murder, and it took half a pillar of incense before the Bi family brother arrived. After that, Sister Xiao, Brother Changming, Senior Tu and Bingtai Girl are the four of them, yes or no?"
Hearing her question, only Bi Changxiao, Bi Yixiao, Bi Changming and Zhao Ruocheng nodded, while Ouyang Cha and Tu Lingxiao were napping in their seats, ignoring themselves at all, and as for Ouyang Cha's apprentice Bingtai, he looked at him with disdain. Looking at Bi Yixiang beside Bi Changxiao again, still staring at a pair of big dull eyes, as if he hadn't heard everyone's speech at all, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but ask: "Sister Yixiang wasn't in the house that night, but I don't know where she went?"
Bi Yixiang didn't answer, or the butler Fu replied for her: "The fourth lady will have insomnia at night, and she likes to go to the back mountain to see the moon alone, if we can't find her on weekdays and nights, we will go to the back mountain of Longdong Mountain to look for her, and she really stays there alone." As for the night of the crime, there happened to be a dim yellow crescent hanging in the night sky, and afterwards we carefully questioned the fourth lady, she did go to the back mountain to see the moon that night, and did not return to the house until dawn. ”
Xie Yixiang listened inexplicably, but after thinking about it, since Bi Yixiang is a fool, whether he likes to look at the moon or count the stars, it is also common sense, and he doesn't have to pay attention to it now. Seeing that except for the Bi family brothers and sisters, almost no one paid attention to Xie Yixiang present, and immediately came out to play a round game, adding: "Although the guest room where Senior Tu and Bingtai Girl lived, although it was not far from the 'Dragon Yin Pavilion' where the murder occurred, Senior Tu happened to be in Xiao Zhoutian that night, and he needed to wait until he finished his work before he could get up and leave the house; So the two of them arrived at the latest, and we've asked about that many times. ”
Xie Yixiang nodded, it was not only Tu Lingxiao and Bingtai who came late, if the murderer who pretended to be Guan Gong on the night of the murder was among the people here at this moment, then it is speculated from the situation told by everyone that after this murderer escaped in front of Zhao Ruocheng, he needed to immediately take off Guan Gong's disguise, and then dispose of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and the human head in his hand, and rush to the scene as if nothing happened, and it would take about a stick of incense in the middle anyway.
Therefore, except for Zhao Ruocheng and General Sa who were present at the time, plus Ouyang Cha and Fu Steward who had arrived in half a pillar of incense, the rest of the people even included Bi Changxiao, who came later, together with Bi Yixiao, Bi Changming, Tu Lingxiao and Bingtai, plus a Bi Yixiang who was not in the mansion, judging from the time of the crime alone, the six people actually had the opportunity to commit the crime, and they were more or less suspicious.
