Chapter 8 The Night Case
"My lord, the deceased's name is Jia Zheng, and he is the lord of this house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The cause of death was a bite off the neck and bleeding profusely, and the body had multiple bite marks on its body, and there were obvious empty painting marks left at the scene. This is basically the same as the previous cases, and it is certain that the same person did it. ”
Wang Yi stood at the door of the crime scene and reported to Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian nodded and asked, "Where is the corpse now?"
"The body has been handed over to the county for inquest, and this is Mr. Gongsun, who is currently serving as the county officer. Wang Yi pointed to a young scholar behind him. This is a young man of less than twenty years old, carrying a bookcase on his back and a bit of a bookish air on his body.
"Student Gongsun Yu, I've seen adults. The young man said.
Chen Yutian glanced at the young man.
Judging from his age, he should be the same age as himself, such a young person, Chen Yutian really can't believe that he will be a fool. Maybe it's more appropriate to say that he's a show.
However, with himself, Xue Tianhan and Huo Yuanji in front of him, he naturally would not underestimate any young people in the world. At the moment, he humbly said: "Mr. has worked hard, and I have to rely on Mr. next." ”
"Your lordship is kind. Students should do their best. Gongsun humbly returned the salute.
Chen Yutian nodded slightly and walked into the study where the crime scene was located.
The furnishings in the room are simple, and directly facing the door is a bookshelf for the book files. Then there is a tea table on one side of the room, and there are two chairs on the side of the table, presumably for receiving guests.
Above the tea table, there was a blank painting!
The desk facing the door was covered with a large pool of blood, which had begun to dry out. The chair was also covered in blood, which was a little scary to look at.
Chen Yutian took a closer look at the blood-colored table and chairs, and suddenly frowned slightly when he saw the bottom of the tables and chairs.
He called Wang Yi over and asked about the situation when the body was found.
"When the deceased was found, he fell on this table. "He was sitting in that chair at the time, but he was lying on this desk, and the table was covered in blood—just like what I see now." ”
Chen Yutian nodded and asked; Who found the body?"
"It's the second family in the house, he is the family member in charge of the watch, after hearing the tiger roar, he ran over to check, and found that the deceased died in the study. Wang Yi replied.
"Call him over. “
"Yes, sir. Wang Yi said and walked out, and soon came in with a small man in a green coat.
"The villain Wang Er, I have seen the master of Qingtian. When Wang Er saw Chen Yutian, he bowed his head and bowed.
Chen Yutian waved his hand to call him up, and then asked, "Wang Er, this county asked you, but you were the first to find the body?"
"It's the villain. ”
"Can you tell us more about that?"
"Yes. Wang Er thought for a while and said, "The eldest master is above, and the villain is the watchman of this house." At the same time tonight, the little one was working in the courtyard when suddenly the sound of a tiger came from the master's study. The little one remembered that the tiger painting that had been very popular in the county recently became a real cannibalistic thing, and he was afraid that the old man would have an accident, so he hurriedly ran here to check. Then ・・・・・・"
Speaking of this, Wang Er's face suddenly became a little frightened.
Chen Yutian was strange and asked, "And then?"
"Then・・・・・・ I saw ・・・・・・ shadow in the courtyard on the roof of the old man's study・・・・・・"
"What??" Wang Yi exclaimed, "What kind of shadow?"
"No, I don't know, he just ・・・・・・ a blink of an eye, and he ・・・・・・ gone. Wang Er said with some trepidation, "I think, I must be a hell・・・・・・・ then I must have become a real tiger demon・・・・・・
Hearing this, Chen Yutian touched his chin and groaned.
At this time, Xue Tianhan and the three finally returned.
After hearing what Wang Er said, the three of them also fell into deep thought.
"It's gone in the blink of an eye・・・・・・ it seems that this guy's light skills are really not low・・・・・・" Huo Yuanji said.
Chen Yutian nodded, then looked at the three of them and asked, "What about you, did you find anything?"
Xuan Xi shook his head and said, "No, there are no clues related to this case around the house." On Brother Huo's side, it seems that he has made a discovery. ”
"Oh?" Chen Yutian looked at Huo Yuanji.
"I found it more than half a mile from here. Huo Yuanji handed a cloth bag to Chen Yutian, and Chen Yutian opened it to see that there was only a bloodstained rope inside.
"It's ・・・・・・"
"I found it in a river not far from here, and it was wrapped around a branch that was growing across the river, and I saw that it was bloody, and I was afraid that it had something to do with the case, so I took it back. Huo Yuanji explained.
Chen Yutian looked at the rope carefully, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he looked up at it.
Directly above the desk, is a beam. With Chen Yutian's eyesight, he could clearly find that on the beam, there was a trace of a rope.
"I see. Chen Yutian suddenly realized.
"What did you find?"
Xuan Xi and the three of them asked at the same time, but Chen Yutian didn't pay attention to them, but looked at Wang Er and asked, "Wang Er, this county asks you, has your master never been out of this study today?"
Wang Er shook his head and replied, "The villain doesn't know very well. But it's true that I haven't seen the master outside for a whole day. ”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian smiled.
The three people behind him were confused, except for Xue Tianhan who groaned slightly. I had no idea what he was asking for.
At this time, Gongsun came over.
"My lord, the preliminary inquest of the body has ended. ”
"Oh, what's the special find?"
"The cause of death of the deceased has been investigated by the students. ”
"Oh?"
Xuan Xi and the three of them wondered, wasn't the cause of the deceased's death being bitten to death by some kind of beast? What else do you need to investigate?
"The deceased seems to have been bitten alive by some kind of beast, but this is just a trick by the murderer. Gongsun explained, "Although the murderer was well disguised, I still found a strangulation mark from the skin of the deceased's bitten neck. According to the preliminary judgment, the real cause of death of the deceased should have been suffocated by a rope around his neck. ”
"What?!" Xue Tianhan and the three of them were all taken aback. So, that rope is the murder weapon?
Chen Yutian smiled slightly and asked, "What about the time of death?"
"The correct time of death should be the period from the time of Shen to the time of Hai. Gongsun replied.
And so it was. Chen Yutian smiled again.
Everyone looked at him in confusion, and he smiled and said, "Look at what is on the ground?"
Everyone looked down where he was pointing, and saw a puddle of water on the ground under the desk. It's almost dry at this point.
"It's ・・・・・・," Xue Tianhan's eyes flashed.
At this moment, Chen Yu Heavenly Mandate Wang Yi brought the widow of the deceased to the scene.
Although Jia Zheng is a wealthy businessman, his life has always been simple, and he has no three wives and four concubines, he has only one wife from beginning to end, which is the Jia family who is now standing in front of Chen Yutian.
Chen Yutian looked at the woman in front of him slightly.
She was about thirty years old, her charm was still there, and her phoenix eyes were slightly red, apparently she had just stopped crying.
"Jia, this county asks you, what kind of enemies do you have in your family?" asked Chen Yutian.
Jia Shi shook his head and said, "My lord, my family is always kind to others during the fair days, and I haven't heard of any enemies." ”
"Then did your father-in-law ever have a collection of tiger paintings?"
Jia Shi thought for a while and said, "Speaking of tiger paintings, my father-in-law does have one. It is a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain without knowing the age and the author. But for some reason, my father-in-law is very precious to this painting, and even the concubine is rarely seen on weekdays. ”
Chen Yutian nodded slightly, pointed to the empty painting and asked, "Then you can take a look, but this painting?"
Jia Shi stared at the empty painting for a long time, and said, "This inscription and seal are correct・・・・・・"
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the scroll under the empty drawing, but suddenly exclaimed.
"What's wrong?"
"This ・・・・・・ not the painting of my father-in-law, the painting of my father-in-law, the scroll at the bottom can be opened, but this one is obviously not good. Jia said.
"Sure enough, this one is also fake!" Huo Yuanji said.
"However, since your family doesn't let you see this painting on fair days, how do you know the secret of this painting?"
At this moment, Chen Yutian's eyes flashed, and he seemed to be smiling.
"Strange to say, I wouldn't let my concubine see this painting when my family was fair, but just a few days ago, he suddenly showed me the painting and said some very strange things. ”
"Oh, what's weird?"
"Concubine Rong thinks about it・・・・・・," Jia thought for a while, and said, "He said, madam, you must keep this painting, even if your husband is no longer in the future, this painting will definitely be passed on as an heirloom of our family for eternity・・・・・・
Hearing this, Chen Yutian, Xue Tianhan and Gongsun on the side all had their eyes flashing!
Why do these words sound like last words?
Could it be that he knew he was going to die?
・・・・・・
・・・・・・
