Chapter IV: Theft
The sky had just dawned, and there was silence all around, and Su opened his eyes suddenly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info not far away came a shout, and someone could faintly hear someone shouting his name. The courtyard where Su Zhuo lived was relatively quiet, but the shout was very abrupt in the drunken immortal building in the early morning.
Su Zhuo thought about it for a long time, and then suddenly remembered that this shout was actually Qin Lei's voice. Qin Lei stood in front of the door of the Drunken Immortal Tower, and shouted in his voice: "Master Su......!"
Su Zhuo hurriedly put on his clothes and ran to the front hall in three or two steps, only to see that many servants and maids had been awakened, yawning, and cursing repeatedly. Su Zhuo hurriedly opened the gate and rushed to Feng Lei.
As soon as Qin Lei saw Su Zhuo, he smiled happily and stopped calling. Su said angrily: "Qin Zhutou, early in the morning, why do you shout? Are you afraid that others won't recognize me?"
Qin Lei smiled secretly and said, "With my identity, it's inconvenient to go in and call you." You young people linger in this land of fireworks, but also pay attention to your body, don't toss too late......"
Su was clumsy and interrupted him, "What are you looking for me to do so early?"
Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, and said: "I said that I would go to the riverside today, this road is not close, if you don't leave earlier, when will you arrive?"
Su Zhuo still wanted to say more, but the headless corpse he saw last night came to his mind, and his mouth was full of grumbling and turned into a sentence: "Then let's go quickly!"
Qin Lei was stunned for a moment, and said, "That Ling Gongzi ......"
Su Zhuo stepped on a black horse beside him, clamped the horse's belly, and walked forward. Qin Lei hurriedly beckoned his subordinates and followed. The group rode for an hour before arriving at the river, where the body was found. Su Zhuo only cared about nibbling on two hot steamed buns, then raised his eyes to see that the river was turbulent and the reeds on the shore were luxuriant.
Wang Fan escorted one person to the front. Qin Lei said: "He is Yuan San'er who found the body, I have already asked, it doesn't look like there is any problem." Does Su Gongzi still want to ask a few more questions?"
Su Zhuo glanced at Na Yuan San'er, and saw that he was holding a harpoon in his right hand, a coarse cloth shirt, the weather was not very warm, and he had rolled up his trouser legs, like a fisherman. Su Zhuo said: "Qin Zhutou has already asked, why should I do this more? Let him go." ”
Qin Lei nodded to Wang Fan, signaled for Yuan San'er to leave, but instead leaned in front of Su Zhuo and whispered: "Could it be that this Yuan San'er thief shouted to catch the thief, deliberately reported the case, and confused the public?"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said: "This Yuan San'er is indeed a fisherman, now the weather is not hot, the river is biting, he can already go into the water barefoot, which shows that he has been used to it for many years." He doesn't look like a vicious man. And did you notice where the knife wound on the back of the deceased was?"
Qin Lei thought carefully and said, "It's in the back of the heart......
Su Zhuo said: "That's right, the wound is in the back, which means that the murderer attacked from behind." As he spoke, he turned his back to Qin Lei and said, "Qin Zhutou, if you raise your knife to stab me now, where will you stab me?"
Qin Lei raised his right hand and gestured, and suddenly realized, and said: "That's right, yes! If you use your right hand, you can only stab it on the right side, and only with your left hand can you stab the back of the heart." This murderer is a left-hander!"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "That's right! Yuan San'er always holds a harpoon in his right hand, which means that he is not left-handed, so naturally he will not be a murderer." ”
Qin Lei said: "Then we should find a left-hander now, but there are so many left-handed people in Jinling City, how to find them?"
Su Zhuo sighed and asked, "Did the person you sent out to inquire come back?"
Wang Fan, who was standing on the side, replied: "Your Excellency, everyone has already returned, but according to investigation, no one is missing in the nearby countryside!"
Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "It's not the locals who died......
Qin Lei also said: "Everyone also searched nearby just now, but they didn't find the head of the deceased. I think that after the murderer killed someone, he tripped the body here and threw it into the river, but the head was buried elsewhere. ”
Su Zhuo groaned, "Do you want to move here......
Su Qin and the others were silent, the identity of the deceased was unknown, and the location of the crime was unknown. The clues seem to have been broken all at once, making people confused. Su Zhuo's eyes stared at the rushing river, and suddenly remembered that there were many contusion marks on the deceased's body. Although the bodies were swollen and unrecognizable, the bruises suggest that the injuries were caused after death.
Su Zhuo thought of something faintly in his heart, but he couldn't stop it. He said to himself, "Carrying the corpse should be left at the joints of the hands and feet, so that there won't be so many scars on the chest and abdomen!"
He followed the river upstream, and saw a tributary bending into the mountain, apparently a spring flowing down from the mountain. Now the snow has melted, the spring water has skyrocketed, and the river has become a little stronger. Su Weiwei smiled and said, "So that's what happened!"
Suddenly, there was a neighing sound of the horse, and an errand officer rolled off his horse, ran to Qin Lei, and said, "Qin Zhutou, I received a report just now, the Buddha bone relics of Renji Temple were stolen last night! Lord Lu ordered you to hurry up to find out the truth and recover the Buddha treasure!"
When Qin Lei heard this, he said loudly: "What! The relics have been lost? But Lao Tzu is handling a case! You go back and find a catch, go and take a look." ”
The errand officer refused to leave, and said, "Master Lu said that Qin Zhutou must go in person, and he can't get out of the pool." This headless corpse case, if you can, take it slowly!"
Qin Lei was furious and said angrily: "What! Lao Tzu is handling a big case where human life is at stake, what does it mean to be able to slow down?"
Su Zhuo stopped Qin Lei and asked, "Where is this Renji Temple?"
Qin Lei pointed angrily and said, "It's on the mountain in front!"
Su Zhuo smiled: "Anyway, there are no clues in the headless corpse case now, it's better to go and take a look, maybe there will be any findings?"
Qin Lei looked at his unfathomable smile, muttered in his heart, and wondered, "Did you find any clues that you haven't told me yet?"
Su Zhuo had already taken the lead in stepping on horseback and said, "Talk as you walk......"
Qin Lei had no choice but to follow behind. Who knew that Su Zhuo did not walk on the mountain road, but meandered along the mountain spring. Qin Lei was puzzled: "Why don't you leave the main road and take the waterside path?
Su Zhuo said: "I guess you can also see that the place of death of the headless corpse is not by the river. ”
Qin Lei said: "That's right! I didn't find a place with a lot of blood stains by the river...... It means that the body was brought by the murderer from somewhere else!"
Su Zhuo shook his head and said, "No! The riverside is unobstructed, and if someone carries the corpse, it will inevitably be seen." And there are many contusion and scratch marks on the corpse, I guess the deceased was thrown into this mountain spring by the murderer, and was washed here by the current!"
Qin Lei has been a head catcher for many years, and he patted his head and said: "That's right! It must be like this! There is a strangulation mark on the ankle of the corpse, it must be that the murderer tied the corpse to a stone and sank it to the bottom of the water." Who wants the spring water to be raging and break the rope away!"
Su Zhuo nodded and said, "Go back and find two dogs, and look for them along this mountain spring." ”
