Meng Shouyi took two steps closer and replied, "Maybe this woman likes to be clean." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Lin Fanghe ignored him, his eyes turned around the room, and then landed on the red lacquered wooden box. He looked at it for a while, couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "This box of clothes, neither new nor old, should be their wedding gift." It is said that it is a bit strange, but the folk custom, whether it is a dowry or a man's purchase, should be in pairs......?

Fang Zheng replied: "Maybe there was only one at the beginning, right?"

Seeing the bright light, a few flies flew over and circled over people's heads and bodies.

Tang Yu slapped his hand a few times and said, "At this time, there are always so many nasty flies. ”

Lin Fanghe watched everything with great interest, and suddenly, he thought of something, turned around, and took the bright oil lamp in the hands of the catcher on the side.

Then lift it up and look up at the ceiling.

Lin Fanghe said slowly: "It turns out that there are so many flies inhabiting here. ”

He turned his head and ordered the yacha: "Go, bring me a chair!"

The yacha received the order, turned around and went out, carried a stool from the outside, and placed it on the floor of the bedroom. Lin Fanghe held the oil lamp, raised his feet and stepped on, and continued to observe upward.

As soon as I saw the bright light, a clump of flies spread out and flew around the oil lamp.

Lin Fanghe held the oil lamp and looked at it carefully.

"Hey, what is this?"

Everyone looked at the snow-white ceiling, and there were a few irregular black-brown spots scattered on the ceiling. He handed the oil lamp to Tang Yu, stood on the stool himself, took out a knife from his arms, and scratched it little by little.

He caught it with white paper, wrapped it, and put it in his pocket.

Inspector Meng raised his head with a serious expression: "My lord, what is this?"

"Splattered blood. ”

Lin Fanghe let out a sigh of relief.

Fang Zheng stood beside him blankly, as if he didn't understand what he meant: "How can there be blood splatters in this good room?"

Lin Fanghe stepped down from the stool, looked at the people around him, and said with confidence: "This shows that this room, that is, Lu Gensheng's home, may be the scene of the first crime!"

Then he instructed the yacha: "Go find a knife and a shovel quickly." ”

The yacha received the order and hurried away.

Tang Yu put the oil lamp on the table.

Lin Fanghe began to bend down and carefully inspect the ground.

Tap gently with your hands from time to time.

Finally stopping at the big bed, he lifted the curtains, looked under the bed, and then turned back and said, "Come, two inspectors, come up and help me move this bed." ”

Meng Shouyi and Fang Zheng hurriedly agreed.

With Tang Yu, the four of them didn't have much effort to move the big bed to the other side by the window.

Lin Fanghe squatted down, took the oil lamp, and surveyed the stone slab on the ground again.

Keep tapping and listening.

At this time, the yacha brought a knife and a shovel, Lin Fanghe beckoned Tang Yu for help, and the two of them knelt on the ground and pried up two stone slabs with knives.

The soil underneath was soft and damp.

The two of them used shovels to dig up several other stone slabs, stacking them on one side. Lin Fanghe moved away the stone slab, while Tang Yu rolled up his sleeves, leaned down, and began to dig out the soil with a shovel.

Fang Zheng was a little worried: "Lord Lin, you come up, I'll call a few yacha to dig." ”

"No, it should be soon. Lin Fanghe waved his hand.

At this moment, Tang Yu's shovel suddenly touched something hard, and when he dug down further, he only felt a disgusting strong smell coming out of the cracks in the soil. After a while, a dark red chest-like thing appeared in the dirt.

"See, this is the missing suitcase. Lin Fanghe stood up and faced the two inspectors, "Immediately call a few officials to come in, dig up the floating soil, and carry the whole suitcase up!"

Meng Shouyi wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, walked to the door, and shouted loudly. Immediately, several strong officials ran in, using shovels and pickaxes, digging around the red lacquered suitcase.

It was soon revealed in its entirety.

It's just that the wooden box is too heavy and the place is cramped, and it took six or seven officials to carry it up and stop it in the middle of the house.

Lin Fanghe covered his mouth and nose with a silk scarf, opened the lock, and lifted the lid of the box vigorously.

It was filled with quicklime.

The rancid smell rushed up, making it even more pungent.

He begged for a shovel and struck a few times on top of the lime, revealing a human arm inside. The onlookers were surprised!

Lin Fanghe shaved a few more times, brushed away the quicklime, and the outline of a corpse was roughly revealed in the box. The whole body was bare, unclothed, curled up and stuffed in a box.

There was a fatal stab wound to the neck.

Lin Fanghe shook the deceased's head with the tip of a shovel, and turned around, it was a young and slightly bearded face, because the eyebrows, eyes and nostrils were covered with white ash, it looked hideous and terrifying!

"Who is this?" Meng Shouyi shouted.

"This should be the poor bricklayer Lu Gensheng, who has been missing for more than ten days. Lin Fanghe sighed lightly.

"I didn't expect that the criminals would kill Lu Gensheng and bury him in the deceased's own bedroom. Fang Zheng also sighed, "It can be seen that the murderer is quite cunning......"

Lin Fanghe closed the lid of the box, threw the shovel on the ground, and said to the two inspectors: "Fortunately, this inexplicable disappearance case is finally about to come to the truth." You had the suitcases taken out and carried to the yamen with the corpses. In addition, Chen Baozhen was also escorted to the county government and sent to the South Prison to be imprisoned—"

After walking a few steps, he turned back and said: "That little girl, Lu Shuang, should entrust someone to take care of ......."

Fang and Meng received the order: "I understand my humble duties." ”

Returning to the county government from Gaoqiao Village, Lin Fanghe and Tang Yu ran to the bathhouse first and soaked beautifully in the boiling water for half an hour. Then he changed into a silk kudzu robe, wore a gauze crown, and came to the study.

The gong of the building was even more sound, and the season had passed the third watch, and the two of them still did not feel a little sleepy.

Tang Yu lit a few candles and illuminated the entire room.

Turning around and sitting on the chair, he looked at Lin Fanghe enviously, and asked, "Why did you suddenly think that Lu Gensheng's body was buried at home, and it was hidden in Chen Baozhen's bedroom." ”

"Because I suddenly remembered something that seemed unrelated. Lin Fanghe smiled faintly.

"Which thing?"

"Do you remember the second time we went to Gaoqiao to interrogate Chen Baozhen, the strange informant who claimed to have lost a few bags of quicklime?"

"Huang Laohan. ”

"Yes. At that time, everyone only thought that the old man was ridiculous, and no one cared. ”

Lin Fanghe nodded, and said: "Until tonight, we had dinner in Koufuju, and the shopkeeper Gu talked about the making of preserved eggs and quicklime, and Inspector Meng accidentally mentioned lime embalming, and I realized that the bags of quicklime that Huang Laohan lost that no one paid attention to and were not worth a few dollars may not be as simple as they seem on the surface......" )
