Chapter 281: Palm Prints
Song He, the governor of Chengdu Prefecture, was woken up in his sleep and rushed to the yamen overnight.
At this moment, the lights in the palace are already bright, and the prefect Lin Yuming has arrived, and he is looking at Du Wenxing's defense with a solemn expression.
After all, the dead Li Mingxu was a famous genius in Chengdu Prefecture, and he was killed on the street, and this case is not small.
Seeing Song He coming in, Lin Yuming got up to greet him.
"Lord Lin, what's the situation with this case?" asked Song He anxiously as soon as he sat down.
"Look at it. Lin Yuming handed over Du Wenxing's defense.
Song He took a closer look.
A quarter of an hour later, Song He raised his head and said: "This defense is full of coincidences, it is really a bit too coincidental, I think this Qingcheng disciple named Du Wenxing is a major suspicion." ”
Lin Yuming nodded, "I think so too." ”
He added: "I heard that this person had a conflict with Li Mingxu at the Juyuan Poetry Meeting in the daytime, so he had a motive for killing." However, this person's identity is not ordinary, not only a disciple of the Qingcheng faction, but also has a close relationship with the Zheng family, and at today's poetry meeting, this person also won the first place, and his reputation began to rise in Chengdu Mansion. ”
"Well, what else is going on?" Song He touched his chin, and said in his heart, if this person came like this, this person would not be very suspicious, after all, it was a bit stupid to kill people at night when the conflict started during the day.
"Is this Du Wenxing still in Yamen? Is it in prison or ......?" Song He asked.
Lin Yuming glanced at him and said, "This person is quite cooperative, he is in the side room of the government at the moment, after all, he is a guest of the Zheng family, and it is not good to offend too much before he is convicted." ”
Song He nodded, not surprised, but got up and said, "I'm going to take someone to the scene to have a look." ”
"It's okay, Su Zhutou is also there, except for this Du Wenxing, he was the first to arrive at the scene of the crime, if you have any doubts, you can ask him. ”
As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind blew in from outside the hall, blowing the candles on and off, and a hasty figure rushed in, "My lord, it's not good, it's not good, the ponies are all dead!"
The person who came was the Su catcher in Lin Yuming's mouth, that is, the leader of the fast catcher who brought Du Wenxing back to the yamen.
At this moment, his face was pale and bloodless, and his body stumbled and fell on the lobby.
Call~!
A gust of wind blew behind Lin Yuming, and a tall figure pounced out from behind, came to Su Zhutou, and helped him up.
"What's going on?"
The man who shot asked.
Under the flickering candlelight, it can be seen that this person is in his forties, and his eyes are like cold electricity, shining brightly, and the momentum is terrifying.
As soon as Su Zhutou raised his head, when he saw this person, he suddenly shouted as if he had seen a savior: "Cousin, they are all dead, and the ponies are all dead." ”
It turned out that the head of the Su Hunt was named Su Xiaofang, a native of Chengdu Mansion, and the middle-aged man who was holding him was named Su Tao, who was his cousin and the chief catcher of the Chengdu Mansion.
Su Tao frowned when he heard this, he had always been disgusted with his family members using their private identities in official affairs.
But at this moment, seeing that his cousin was flustered, and the six gods had no master, he didn't feel in the mood to blame, but grabbed his collar and lifted it up, and said coldly: "What's the panic, talk slowly, what's wrong with them, ponies? ”
Su Xiaofang came back to his senses a little, and gasped: "Chief catcher, two adults, today's events are quite strange. My pony and I were on the night shift today, and we were fine, but at the beginning of the evening, my subordinates suddenly found a letter on the table in the fishing room, which said that there was a murder in Shuijing Lane tonight. In the spirit of believing what they had, the subordinates took the pony and them to Shuijing Alley, where they found a corpse and the disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. Because the Qingcheng disciple was holding a knife, his subordinates thought that he was suspected of murder, so they asked the pony to come forward and capture it, but they were knocked to the ground by the Qingcheng disciple one by one. No, it was the subordinates who thought it was just 'knocking down', but when the subordinates returned to the scene, the ponies and the others were all dead. ”
Speaking of this, Su Xiaofang's eyes were also a little red, and the dead were all his brothers who got along day and night!
"Well, this is a little strange, isn't it?" Su Tao touched his chin.
Push the official Song Daodao: "Show the letter to the official." ”
"Yes, sir. Su Xiaofang hurriedly took out the letter paper from his arms, held it with both hands, and handed it to Song He.
After Song He took it, he looked at it carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and the time and place of the crime were clearly written in the letter, as if he had known it for a long time.
And the handwriting on the letter, crooked, may have been deliberately written with the left hand.
"Su Zhutou, did you find this letter?" Song He asked.
"Back to the adult, it was the villain who found out. Su Xiaofang said.
"Who else was in the room at the time?"
"Well, at the time...... Everyone was in the room at the time. ”
"Oh, everybody is in the room, and no one finds out how the letter got to the table?"
Su Xiaofang blushed a little when he heard this, and stammered a little:
"Hui, Hui, my lord, I, we, all of us, did not find out how the letter came from, how it came from. ”
"In this way, it is likely that the people in the house did it. Song River reasoned.
Then he asked, "Where are the ponies?"
Su Xiaofang said: "It's been shipped back, and it's in the fishing room." ”
"I'll take a look. When Song He heard that the body had been brought back, his eyes flashed and he stood up.
......
In the capture room, there were five corpses lying flat on the ground, and Su Tao squatted on the ground to inspect them.
Song He stood aside, watching Su Tao's movements with straight eyes.
Su Tao frowned, suddenly raised his head and asked, "Su Zhutou, judging from the defense of that Qingcheng disciple, he just knocked down the pony and the others with his fists, and he didn't make a heavy hand." You were at the scene, did he take a heavy shot?"
Su Xiaofang recalled the scene at that time, and after a while, he said: "It seems that the ponies who were knocked down at that time are still breathing." ”
"Strange!" Su Tao shook his head, his face full of suspicion.
Song He asked out loud: "Mr. Su, do you have any discoveries?"
Su Tao stood up and said, "That Qingcheng sect disciple said that he used an iron sand palm at that time, and these brothers did die under the iron sand palm, and each of them had only one palm print on their bodies, except for the pony. The pony was killed by a heavy blow to the head. ”
"Yes, I remembered, the others were all in the middle of the palm, only Xiaoma was knocked down by the Qingcheng disciple's fist. ”
"Well, there is only one palm print on these people? Could it really be the hand of this Du Wenxing? If someone else kills someone afterwards, there shouldn't be only one palm print. Song He's eyelids jumped.
"Let him come, and you will know by comparing the palm prints. Su Tao said to Su Xiaofang with a cold face.
As Su Xiaofang came to the capture room and saw the five corpses on the ground, Du Wenxing's heart suddenly beat wildly.
How did these people die?
I didn't make a heavy deal at the time, did you?
Things are getting wrong!
Du Wenxing had a bad feeling in his heart.
