Chapter 12 of the Treacherous Book of the Jingshi Suicide

Su Zhuo was shocked when he heard this, just an hour ago, Chen Pingyuan was still talking to himself, why did he suddenly die? He and Zhuge Zheng glanced at each other, and before they had time to say more, they rushed out of the store, turned over their horses, and galloped out of the city.

Several people galloped to the barracks, and saw that the camp was already full of people. Chen Zhong sat paralyzed on the ground, crying and crying, and he didn't have the demeanor of a court official at all. It's no wonder that whoever dies their son will lose their minds. Chen Zhong is like this, and so is Wang Dingbian. And Wang Dingbian was standing beside Chen Zhong at this time, with a gloomy face, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to suffocate to death. Chen Pingyuan died on his territory after all, and he also has an unshirkable responsibility.

The two saw Su Zhuo coming, and rushed up together. Wang Dingbian grabbed Su Zhuo's collar and said angrily, "What did you say to Chen Gongzi?"

Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, completely unclear about the situation. Zhuge Zheng persuaded: "General Wang is angry, it's not too late to clarify the matter first and then ask the guilt!"

Wang Dingbian snorted heavily and shook off Su Zhuo. As a result, Chen Zhong wrapped up again, pulled Su Zhuo's arm, and said, "Give my son's life back......" Fortunately, he is a civil official, and he doesn't have much strength in his hands, and he doesn't feel it when he holds it.

Zhuge Zheng had no choice but to ask, "General Wang, what's going on?"

Wang Dingbian said angrily: "You guys go and see for yourself!" said and stood with his hands in his hands, his face flushed with anger.

Su Zhuo and Zhuge Zheng had no choice but to walk towards the tent, Chen Zhong thought that he had already seen his son's death, and he couldn't bear to look at it anymore, only outside the tent, his face was like ashes. The tent was guarded by several armored samurai. Chen Pingyuan's body was lying in the center, and there was a belt hanging from the beam, which turned out to be hanged himself.

Zhuge Zheng asked the guards, and got the same answer. It turned out that after Su Zhuo asked Wang Dingbian to tell him, Wang Dingbian was not good at detaining people again, so he ordered them to be released. But when the guards led Chen Zhong into the camp to pick up people, they found that Chen Pingyuan had hanged himself!

Su Zhuo took off the belt, knowing that it was Chen Pingyuan's own. He crouched next to the corpse and snorted softly, his face solemn. Zhuge Zheng asked, "What are the clues?"

"He didn't commit suicide at all!" Su Zhuo said flatly. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the strangulation marks on the corpse's neck and said, "The mark on his neck is only two inches wide, and it should be a rope with the thickness of hemp rope." This belt is five or six inches long, and it is impossible to form such a mark. And the strangulation marks on his neck intersect at the back of his neck. It was clearly strangled with a rope by someone else behind him!"

"That's right!" Zhuge Zheng nodded, "But who is the murderer? In terms of time, the guard went to report to Wang Dingbian and then received the order to return." This one only needs a stick of incense. Spatially, the tent is relatively self-contained, with no other hiding places around. And there are more than a dozen guards outside the tent, and the water is impassable in all directions. How did this murderer come in and kill and then leave unharmed?"

Su Zhuo pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhuge , have you noticed that Chen Pingyuan's death and Wang Kun's death have a lot in common. Both of them died in a place equivalent to a secret room, and it was difficult for the murderer to approach or leave, but these two people were killed anyway. The second point is that the deaths of both were disguised. Although this camouflage is clumsy, it must be to disguise something. ”

Zhuge Zheng nodded, and said: "After you have met Chen Pingyuan, the only people who can have the ability to kill him are Wang Dingbian's people......

"Are you saying that the murderer is hiding next to Wang Dingbian?" Su Zhuo also felt that this hypothesis was very likely, but there were always some unexplained mysteries that made him difficult to let go.

The two thought about going out, and as soon as they went out, they were surrounded by a group of people. These people are old, weak, women and children, most of them are people from the Chen family, Wang Dingbian stood by and watched, allowing them to hold Su Zhuo. Chen Zhong said sadly and indignantly: "The surname is Su, you are the only one who has seen Yuan'er just now. It's clear that you killed him! You're going to bury my son today! Someone, take him down for me!"

The guards of the Chen Mansion rushed to Su Zhuo's side, as if they were in a no-man's land, and Wang Dingbian's people didn't care. Zhuge Zheng couldn't help but be a little angry, stood in front of Su Zhuo, blocked the comer, and snorted heavily. After all, he was an official of the imperial court, and those guards didn't dare to do anything casually, so they glanced at Chen Zhong. Chen Zhong said angrily: "Zhuge Zheng, what do you mean?"

Zhuge Zheng didn't salute anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Shangshu, Su Zhuo is the person appointed by the emperor to assist me in investigating the case, how can you just arrest me casually?"

Chen Zhong didn't expect him to use the emperor to suppress him, he glared at him for a long time before he said: "Zhuge Zheng, what kind of thing are you? How dare you talk to me like this? I will enter the palace to face the saint now!"

Zhuge Zheng didn't give an inch, and said, "Since I want to go, I will simply go with you, am I still afraid?"

Su Zhuo looked at Wang Dingbian and sneered in his heart, this old fox didn't say a word now, and actually wanted to get out of the matter. However, before leaving, Chen Zhong suddenly turned his head and glared at Wang Dingbian, obviously not forgetting his "kindness"!

Su Zhuo left the barracks alone, and no one stopped him. The Chen family was busy collecting the corpses, and Wang Dingbian didn't care about it. After such a toss, it was already noon. Su Zhuo sat on his horse and walked slowly, listing all the circumstances of the two cases in his mind. And this morning, the sudden appearance of the ghost made Su Zhuo realize that his original ideas were too simple and naïve. The whole thing must be far more complicated than what can be seen now. But how can we find a breakthrough and pry open this conspiracy?

Su Zhuo suddenly remembered that the fireworks alley in the west of the city invited the incense building. That's right, now only this clue remains. Maybe this is the crux of the matter! Su Zhuo's heart suddenly brightened, and he suddenly frowned again. The whole incident is in such a vein, Wang Kun involved Chen Pingyuan, and Chen Pingyuan said Invite Xianglou. It's too smooth a coincidence, isn't it......

It's still daytime, and there's no one in Fireworks Alley. Su Zhuo sat in the teahouse and waited until the lights came on. The number of pedestrians gradually increased, and all the brothels in Qinglou also opened their doors to welcome customers.

Invite Xianglou is the largest green building in Fireworks Lane and even the whole Bianliang, several buildings occupy half of the street, and it is also quite magnificent. The cars in front of the door came and went, and all the people who came and went were the sons and daughters of rich and noble families. Su Zhuo can also be regarded as a talent, when he came to the capital, he fell in love with Zhuge Zheng, and his clothes were also new. As soon as he stood in front of the Xianglou, two bewitching women immediately posted up.

A bustard's mother, who was wearing heavy makeup, smiled all over her face and said, "This boy looks very good! Our girls here are all as beautiful as flowers, and they can play and sing anything." Only you can't think of it, there is nothing they can't do, and you will be satisfied with your service!"

Su Zhuo smiled faintly and got straight to the point: "I want to see Miss Yuechan!" (To be continued.) )
