Chapter 337: Investigation
The corpse was found for two consecutive days, and the death and running methods were the same, which was naturally regarded as a serial case, and the time of the crime was in such a day, the city lord of Jiankang attached great importance to it, and immediately ordered martial law to the whole city, blocking the city gate, and the whole city was in an uproar for a while.
After the news came out, Ah Lu gave Wu Gui a look, Wu Gui understood, called Kang An to inquire about Lu Bai's residence in the City Lord's Mansion, and asked Kang An to take it there.
Regarding the sudden tacit understanding between Ah Lu and Wu Gui, although Hong Tuo was not very uncomfortable, he endured it and did not show it, and only asked her: "What did Brother Wu do when he went to find Lubai?"
Ah Lu said: "Let him collect the enchantment or narrow the enchantment to the scope of the Fifth Miss's house, so that it will be convenient for us to go out at night." ”
Although living in the City Lord's Mansion can better inquire about the news, because of the enchantment, it is also a good way to let Wu Gui go and talk to Lu Bai's words by the way.
It didn't take long for Hong Tuo to feel that the enchantment around him was starting to weaken, it seemed that Wu Gui's persuasion was very successful, and Ah Sheng also ran back with the news from the inquiry.
"I inquired, most of the things in the city lord's mansion are managed by a Yuan governor, and the backyard is supervised by a Kang Mama, and the rest of the courtyards have a small steward, and the general affairs can be handled by themselves, and the slightly larger ones should be reported to the corresponding leading boss, the front door is the Yuan chief and the backyard is Mama Kang, and behind these two are the Kang City Lord and Mrs. Yuan......
Hong teased and asked: "The head of Nayuan seems to have the same surname as his wife, and Mama Kang is also ...... with the city lord."
Ah Sheng smiled: "I also think this is strange, let's inquire clearly, Manager Yuan is a relative of Mrs. Yuan, and Mama Kang is also a distant relative of Lord Kang. ”
Hong Tuo also laughed: "This is funny......"
Ah Lu smiled inexplicably, as if asking: "This mortal couple is also interesting, is it so close as a family without distinguishing between each other?"
Hong Kuo only shook his head: "I don't know about it, but this family doesn't think so." ”
Ah Lu smiled and did not speak, and motioned for Ah Sheng to continue.
"The front yard is not clear, the backyard is mainly Mrs. Yuan's meeting house, Aunt Liu's weak willow pavilion, Aunt Yang's Fufeng Pavilion, the eldest son's vast Zhai, the second son's Xingchen Hall, the third son's ascending pavilion, the fourth lady's east fence courtyard, the fifth lady's leisurely residence, and the rest are the small courtyard wings of each guest, the city lord's study, the treasury, all kinds of subordinate rooms, gardens and small back mountains. By the way, the dry well is said to be close to Xiaohou Mountain, there is a back mountain behind Xiaohou Mountain, there are some roe deer rabbits and other wild meat on the mountain, and there seem to be other animals growing, except for the slaves who manage the back mountain, ordinary people will not lean over there, so there are no people there, and it is relatively remote. ”
Hong teased and asked, "Xiaohou Mountain is close to Dahou Mountain?"
Ah Sheng nodded: "Xiaohou Mountain is connected to Dahou Mountain, and behind, some land was originally reclaimed on Xiaohou Mountain, and the well was also opened for irrigation, but for some reason, the ordinary trees on that mountain are growing well, and a little planting and eating related fruit trees and vegetables can't support it......"
Speaking of this, Ah Sheng was quite indignant and very sorry.
Hong teased and glanced at Ah Lu, seeing that she was looking down and thinking about something, she didn't respond when she called out, and had to scream again, only to see her suddenly raise her head.
"It's hard to say, let's go separate tonight, you go to the place where the body was found in the city and take a look, I'll go to the back mountain to take a look, Ah Sheng goes back to the inn to find Di Gua, tell him these things, he will know what to do." ”
Hong Fu frowned, slightly worried: "You mean, there are things hidden in the back mountain, is it safe?"
Ah Lu smiled: "I'm just guessing, after all, just from the description, it's indeed a little weird." ”
When Wu returned, Ah Sheng alone solved the dinner sent by the city lord, and several people acted separately.
Hong Au came to the beggar street where the body of the second club was found, because the time of discovery was relatively late, the government dared to come to evacuate the onlookers to take care of the scene for a lot of time, and now there are still arresters who stay here to collect evidence.
Hong Teaser squatted on the wall of the alley stupidly and incognito, observing the situation of the arrest and handling of the case below.
This is the end of an alley, a small square land, surrounded by miscellaneous wood, in the middle of which is a well, the body has been transported back, and the people below are more on the scene, and there is a doctor who takes a jar of water and sprinkles some medicinal powder into the water, nagging while sprinkling.
"It's really a sin, this well is the only water source nearby, so it is polluted, and it can't be recovered in a short time, and the people in the neighborhood can only go around a few streets to fight someone on the other side. ”
Another person holding a small lantern in the corners of the wall to search for clues echoed: "No, this corpse was put into the well last night, and it was not found until it bubbled white and floated up today. ”
The doctor sighed: "It's just that it's okay to have diarrhea, this well water looks too muddy, I'm afraid there is something in it." ”
On the other side, the catcher who was depicting the scene chuckled: "I said Zhang Lao, don't think about what you have or don't have, it's just that you brought out some sediment at the bottom of the well when you fished out the corpse, and it will sink early tomorrow morning, not to mention that you have sprinkled a lot of powder into it!"
Zhang Lao shouted: "This is a detoxifying powder, there are so many corpses soaked in it, for the safety of the people, it must be cleared." ”
Catch Kuaijia hurriedly played the round: "What Elder Zhang said is right, it's not early, let's pack up and go back to rest as soon as possible!"
The catcher Kuaiyi didn't seem to have a good temper, and his speech was a little rushed: "What a rest, you look at the adults like that, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy when I go back, and I don't know what kind of villain he is, he has to commit a crime at this time, and make such a big move, if you don't give an explanation as soon as possible, you can take a look!"
Catching Kuaijia frowned, and reminded: "What are you talking about, no matter when such a big thing happens, adults and city lords will pay attention to it, and now there are many nobles in the city, this kind of talk is just a matter of secretly complaining to us, if you go out, be careful of your life!"
Catching Kuaiyi lowered his head unwillingly and continued to describe the situation at the scene.
Hong took a look, there were no useful clues at the scene, only the water in the well was indeed muddy.
Hong teased for a while, learned some news, because of the city lord's attention, the people below did not dare to slack off, after someone reported the case, the county order immediately sent someone to roughly record the scene, the body was moved back to the county office, and sent people from every household overnight to inquire if someone was missing, so as to facilitate the identification of the deceased.
It seems that more news can only be heard by going to the county office, Hong Tuo got up and prepared to go in the direction of the county office, and suddenly found that Tu An's house was nearby, and he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he quietly leaned over, and saw Tu An's house with the lights on, and there was a low cry from inside, and he felt more and more guilty and overwhelmed, although he didn't do anything, he only hated that he couldn't come back to life, so he could only try his best to catch the murderer and give them an explanation.
