Volume 1 Troubled Boy Chapter 39 The Disappearing Kang Yu

The calm Wanfu seemed to be no longer calm after the retreat with the serious injury of the divine doctor, and Kang Yulong, one of the Kang brothers and sisters, died peacefully in his room, attracting the investigation of the Zhuxian Town Government.

Most of the northern towns that originally belonged to the Great Song Dynasty had been occupied by the Jin State in the war, so most of these official offices were also transferred from the country by the Jin State, but I didn't expect that the main person in this investigation was actually an authentic Central Plains person.

In fact, according to the situation at that time, even if the people of the Great Song Dynasty were able to serve as officials in the Jurchen system, they were mostly excluded, unable to enter the real core, and were ridiculed and despised by their colleagues from the Jin State.

But in Luo Bei's eyes, in addition to the two strange mustaches, his eyes are very keen, and what is even more rare is that several Jurchens under him actually respect him very much, and it seems that this person is either valued by the above characters or is really extremely capable.

At that time, the peoples of the north were often known for their fierceness, and they admired brave warriors and truly capable people.

As soon as Luo Bei thought of the way he touched those two mustaches and meditated, he felt that this person always gave people a feeling that they couldn't see through at a glance.

The big room in the front hall was full of people again, the last time it was the fourth uncle who announced Wan Ruhai's retreat, and this time there were more people than the last time, and even the maids and servants in the house were almost all present.

Some people were sitting, and most of the maids were standing, and there was a lot of eye in the room, but it was surprisingly quiet, and no one made a sound.

Because everybody is waiting, waiting for the arrival of the one who should come.

There are four officials of the government standing in front of the door, they stand very straight, some meticulous meaning, not only Luobei, almost everyone feels strange, the Great Song Dynasty and even Jinliao and other countries, the officials of the government rarely can really maintain this kind of discipline, I don't know whether it is the credit of the leader Cheng Zhutou, or the strict requirements of the local government, these officials are a little different.

Wen Qingqing changed into a purple dress again, and she sat opposite Luobei, still with that slight disdain on her face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

When Luo Bei looked at her, she also happened to be looking at Luo Bei, her eyes flashed slightly, and then fell down in an instant, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, she didn't look at him again.

Luo Bei had no choice but to look away, looked at the people in the room, and couldn't help but find that in addition to the maid and servant, there were actually two people who he hadn't seen last time.

A man, although his beard was very messy, his hair had been combed clean, but the long hair that had been scattered all over his head still looked a little unsmooth, apparently due to infrequent combing.

His eyes were lonely, as if the more people in the room made him more lonely, his fingers were long, and they should have been very strong, but because of his long-term indulging in wine, even if he only held a small flask, he would tremble slightly from time to time.

Such a man seemed a little out of place sitting in the crowd, so he didn't pay any attention to anyone at all, and took care of the flask in his hand, which was brought to his lips after a short time.

Although he has not seen this person so closely, Luo Bei knows that this person is Wan Yutang mentioned by the fourth uncle, who has lived in the house for several years, but hardly talks to people, and when Luo Bei first saw him, he was feeding the fish in the lake.

The other is a very clean and good-looking woman in white, with fair cheeks, watery eyes, a green silk coiled up with a crystal bow, and a spotless white dress, like a fairy floating like a fairy outside the world.

The woman sat on the chair closest to the door, and when she just entered the door, even if there were already women with different styles such as Wen Qingqing, Liu Feiyan and Mrs. Feng in the room, they couldn't help but look a little overshadowed in front of her.

Admiration, jealousy, and even a touch of hatred appear in everyone's eyes, but they show many different emotions.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Luo Bei looked at everyone's eyes, and saw the fourth uncle stopped in front of the door, and then made a gesture of please, and then slowly walked in a person.

This person is naturally the head catcher surnamed Cheng, on the way from the Kang brothers and sisters to leave Luobei heard the fourth uncle talk about this person, his name is Cheng Min, is an authentic Han people, and the origin is extraordinary, in the Huizong period, he was the head catcher of the Beijing division in Kaifeng, it is said that most of the major cases at that time were solved by him, and suddenly disappeared in the year of the Jingkang change, and then came to the small place of Zhuxian Town to do a small catch of the Jin State Mansion, but it was quickly recognized and became the head catcher.

Cheng Min took small steps, scanning everyone in the room as he walked, his eyes were small, but they were very attentive, his gaze stayed on everyone's faces, as if he was intentionally observing everyone's expressions.

Only the woman in white stayed on her for a little longer, and then reached out and stroked her two mustaches.

He and the fourth uncle came to the two chairs placed in front of the door, did not sit down directly, but politely let the fourth uncle sit first, the fourth uncle smiled faintly, but he was not polite, after all, the master retreated, and he became the master here.

"Everyone...... Everyone should already know that Kang Yulong died suddenly, although there seems to be no vision, but the government still invited Mr. Cheng Min, the chief arrester of the town, to investigate the cause of death...... Don't panic, I have called you here today to cooperate with the investigation, and I think this is also the duty that everyone and I should do to the deceased......"

After that, the fourth uncle looked at everyone with blazing eyes, and then under his suddenly hot gaze, everyone couldn't help but nod.

"So...... Next, let's ask Mr. Cheng to ask questions......"

Cheng Min waved his hand a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "Fourth uncle, you really exalt me too much, but it's just a small catcher, where is the last word?"

He simply said a few polite words, and the fourth uncle did not refute him, nor did he continue to say anything, but waited for him to continue.

"Then I have a few questions, I want to ask you separately, the circumstances of the case, and please know everything, and at the same time...... Don't ask me why, I'll give you a definite answer when the time comes......"

"Just now, under the leadership of the fourth uncle, I took a general look at the layout of the courtyard, the two sides outside the front hall are considered guest rooms, there are five rooms in the east and west, each of which is not connected, but each has a small courtyard, and the location where Kang Yulong lives is the middle one on the west side of the front hall, so now I want to know, who lives in the two rooms adjacent to the courtyard where he lives?"

At this time, Luo Bei stood up, and he saw Yan Chunliu, who was sitting next to him, who looked a little thin, also stood up.

"The two of you are adjacent to Kang Yulong's residence?"

Yan Chunliu nodded almost at the same time as Luo Bei.

At this time, the fourth uncle added behind him: "This is Luobei, and this is Yan Chunliu......"

"It turned out to be Mr. Luo, Mr. Yan......"

"So may I ask you both, where were you both last night, and what were you doing?"

Luo Bei looked at Yan Chunliu, this person looked very thin, as if he could be blown down by a gust of wind, but when Luo Bei saw him, he always felt that there seemed to be an energy in his extremely tightly wrapped body, an energy that did not match his body and physique.

After glancing at Yan Chunliu, Luo Bei said: "I was in the back garden last night, this fourth uncle knows!"

The fourth uncle nodded and said, "The prince of Luobei is indeed in the back garden, and he didn't go back alone until late at night, as for what to do......"

He looked at Cheng Min lightly, and continued: "This has nothing to do with this case, please ask Cheng Zhutou to investigate it in detail......

Cheng Min nodded slightly, his eyes were still the mysterious and bottomless look, he paced forward a few steps, and then quickly walked towards Luobei, and suddenly stretched out a hand to help him shoulder when he was very close.

Like a person who walked unsteadily and was about to fall, Luo Bei subconsciously stepped back, but he still didn't avoid it, so he could only let his hand press on his shoulder.

Fortunately, it only sank slightly, there was no special feeling, and Cheng Min's body did not continue to fall.

He looked away from Luo Bei and said, "I naturally believe the words of the fourth uncle."

"So, this Yan ...... Mr. Yan Chunliu, may I ask you?" his gaze was like two sharp knives, staring at Yan Chunliu.

At this time, Yan Chunliu slowly raised her head, looked directly at Cheng Min, and said, "I've been in the room all the time, and I've never gone out......"

Cheng Min smiled, put one arm across his chest, then put his right hand on his arm, touched his mustache, and asked softly, "What about the day before yesterday?"

Yan Chunliu didn't seem to expect him to ask like this, his eyes flashed, and then he quickly regained his composure and said, "I won't go out every night......"

Listening to Cheng Min ask about the night before, Luo Bei suddenly remembered the black shadow he saw the moment he entered the door, and Kang Yu who went out with a sword and glared angrily, but Kang Yulong obviously died last night, why...... The day before yesterday again?

It's not just Luo Bei alone, probably everyone has such a puzzled look in their eyes.

Cheng Min suddenly turned to look at Luo Bei and asked, "What about you?"

Luo Bei saw his eyes, as if all his thoughts were instantly seen through by him, he couldn't help but take a step back, what happened that night was very strange, he even wondered if he was wrong, so he never told anyone, let alone thought that someone would die suddenly, so who was that black shadow? Is it a murderer? Is it from this courtyard or someone else?

All the questions lingered in his heart for a moment, and Luo Bei didn't know whether to tell the events of that night, but such a simple hesitation made everyone's eyes point at him, and some people even looked at him with some kind of special gaze.

Just when the atmosphere fell silent and embarrassed, a young man dressed as a subordinate suddenly ran in in a hurry.

The fourth uncle frowned slightly when he saw the person coming, and said with a cold face: "Wanfu, why are you so flustered?"

The subordinate named Wanfu gasped and said a little timidly: "Fourth uncle...... Arrive...... I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find Miss Kang Yu......"

Cheng Min let out a "huh" and asked, "Who is Kang Yu?"

The fourth uncle no longer cared about Wanfu and explained: "Cheng Zhutou doesn't know, the deceased Kang Yulong also has a sister named Kang Yu, today I found Kang Yulong dead in the house, and no one has ever seen Kang Yu again......"

Cheng Min's hand rubbing his mustache harder, as if he wanted to rub his beard off his lips raw.

"My brother died suddenly...... And the younger sister suddenly disappeared...... Everything seems too coincidental, and the coincidence is really a little puzzling......"

And Cheng Min's next words shocked everyone.

"There must be a conspiracy behind too many coincidences, although there is no evidence yet, but I think Kang Yulong's death is not so simple......"

......
