Chapter 41: The Second Murder
"Su Dawei actually dared to ask to see His Majesty for this matter."
"Dissect the corpse? The parents of the body, Gao Yang is the blood of Taizong, who dares? ”
"This guy is really lucky......"
"It's okay, let him investigate, if Gao Yang's affairs can be found out, then our affairs have already been exposed, why now."
"Just take advantage of this matter to get rid of Su Dawei."
……
The sky was slightly bright, and Su Dawei had just come to the Bad People Mansion in Chang'an County, when he saw Qian Bazhi hurriedly walking in.
"Ami, something happened."
"What's the matter?"
"Someone is dying again."
"When will Chang'an not die, what's so special?"
"This case is strange."
Qian Bazhi touched his chin and frowned: "It is the family of the deceased who reported the case, and it is said that the deceased was found dead at home this morning, but the scene is very strange." ”
Su Dawei looked at him and waited for him to continue.
"It is said that it was burned to death, but there is no open flame in the house, and there are no traces of fire at the scene, the county gentleman asked me to tell you about it so that you can go to the scene to see."
Qian Bazhi touched his mouth and added: "By the way, this case is somewhat similar to the case of Princess Gaoyang you investigated?" ”
was reminded by Qian Bazhi, Su Dawei immediately thought that Princess Gaoyang was also in her own family and died unexpectedly.
At the beginning, the judgment of Dali Temple was that he died of trauma.
But after Su Dawei's inspection yesterday, he found that he was actually drowning.
This leaves a question.
How could this man have drowned in his own home?
This doesn't make sense.
Now, the case mentioned by Qian Bazhi was burned to death in his own home, and there was no trace of fire at the scene.
These two cases do have a wonderful coincidence.
It seems to be a continuation of the case of Princess Gaoyang.
It seems that someone deliberately went against Su Dawei and made a new murder case to provoke.
"Who is the deceased?"
"A long history of the Yue Wangfu, surnamed Cui Minglian."
"Cui Lian?"
Su Dawei repeated the name, making sure he hadn't heard it.
"Bolingtri?"
"It's not clear, what the county zun means is to let us go to the scene to check first, and then notify Dali Temple."
"Then you gather people, bring the work, and we'll go and see it now."
Su Dawei said, got up and summoned Nan Jiulang to arrange the follow-up matters.
Originally, his first task today was to investigate Princess Gaoyang's case, but after this incident, the princess's case had to be handed over to Nan Jiulang to do it for himself.
Let's take a look at what happened to Cui Lian's case first.
……
"Hong'er, Hong'er, what do you think?"
Wu Meiniang looked at her eldest son with a worried face, but saw Li Hong's face was blood-red, and he bent over and coughed violently.
She hurriedly stroked Li Hong's back with her hand to smooth him down.
"I just took the golden pill offered by Guo Daochang, it should be fine for a while, do you want to drink some more ginseng tea?"
Li Hong just coughed, reluctantly waved his hand, signaling not to.
After a while, his cough finally became quieter, as if he had gasped for breath.
Wu Meiniang's hanging heart fell.
"I have to ask Guo Xing what's really going on, the pills he has served recently have become less and less effective."
Saying this, Wu Meiniang's eyebrows were upside down, and a touch of evil aura floated on her face.
Migrate qi and nourish the body.
has been the queen for more than ten years, and as Li Zhi's right-hand man, he fought wits and courage with the Manchu Dynasty.
The Mingkong mage who had a kind eyebrow and no quarrel with the world in the past is long gone.
Now, there is only the master of the six palaces of the Tang Dynasty, who has mature and ruthless methods, and kills the decisive Empress Wu.
"Auntie, I'm fine."
Li Hong took the initiative to hold Wu Meiniang's hand, tilted his head, and squeezed out a smile at her.
But this pale smile and cold palm made Wu Meiniang's heart ache even more.
"Hong'er rest assured, everything has A-Niang, A-Niang will gather the world's famous doctors, and she will definitely cure your body."
"Mother, can my body really be good?"
Li Hong expressed a hint of skepticism about this.
"Good son, you are the crown prince, the future emperor, you have the blood of the Heavenly Khan on your body, and all the gods and Buddhas will protect you, and you will definitely be safe."
Wu Meiniang gently patted Li Hong's shoulder and gently soothed him.
In this world, there are only these two men who can make him so gentle.
……
When Su Dawei took Qian Bazhi and a group of bad people from Chang'an County to Cui Lian's house, the time was already in the middle of the day.
To Su Da's surprise, the people of Dali Temple actually received the news first and sent messengers and Wuhou and Qi Zuo to come.
That guy happened to be the one who accompanied Su Dawei to check the scene of Princess Gaoyang's murder with Cheng Daoyi before.
The two sides met in the front yard of the house, and they were a little surprised by each other.
They saluted and greeted each other.
"Su Shaoqing, are you here to investigate this case too?"
"Oh, I'm still in Chang'an County, this case is within the jurisdiction of Chang'an County, I should come and take a look."
Su Dawei nodded to the servant: "Don't be busy reminiscing, let's investigate the case first." ”
"Yes."
He bowed with his hands crossed, and then greeted the servant on the side.
The bad people in Dali Temple and the county are all used to doing cases, and they go to their respective divisions of labor.
Some did on-site investigations, some asked family members to make records, and some circled the scene with rope and lime to avoid being destroyed.
There are also people like Su Dawei, who took the work and went directly into the house where the murder occurred.
As soon as I entered the door, a strange smell of burnt egg whites came to my face.
Even though he was prepared in his heart, Su Dawei couldn't help but wrinkle his nose.
Dali Temple and Chang'an County were already prepared, and took out a handkerchief and tied it in front of their noses.
Su Dawei glanced at them and thought to himself that this was an ancient primitive version of the mask.
He also drew the gourd in the same way, took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, and tied it in front of his nose.
I thought in my heart that if I want to investigate cases conveniently in the future, it seems that I have to prepare some case investigation and forensic skills.
What sheep intestine gloves, silk gloves can come with a pair.
There are also various surgical dissecting knives, regular masks, and so on.
The light in the room was very dim, Su Dawei walked to the window, checked it carefully, found no special traces, gestured to the two servants, and then pushed the window open.
Sunlight shines through the window, illuminating the quiet room for a moment.
As you can see, the house is normal bedroom furniture, and there is nothing special.
The only special thing is that there is an extra stove on the ground, and there is a corpse.
The corpse's body was pitch black, and its hands were stretched out into the air like bird's claws, already stiff.
That face is also like lacquered charcoal, and you can't see it clearly.
"I've heard that there's no fire on the site, what is this stove?"
Su Dawei raised his voice slightly.
It just so happened that Qian Bazhi came in with a woman.
"This is Cui Lian's family, Zhou Niangzi."
"I've seen a few Lang Jun."
Mrs. Zhou gave a salute to everyone in the house.
She was in her thirties, and the years had left marks on her, the skin on her cheeks was no longer smooth, and the corners of her eyes had fine lines.
But the figure is still slim.
It can be seen that when you are young, you should look good.
Her eyes were swollen and there were tears in her eyes, obviously Cui Lian's death was a big blow to her.
"Mrs. Zhou is exempt, how did you find out that Cui Lian had an accident, can you tell me in detail?"
As Su Dawei spoke, he made a gesture to the two Qianzuo who threw inquiring glances at him, signaling them to start working first.
Now Su Dawei is not only a bad handsome, but also has a post as a young secretary of Dali Temple in Dali, and when the case is investigated, people on both sides must take him as the head of the horse.
The lady of the Zhou family wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, her voice was slightly hoarse, but it was unusually gentle and sweet: "I had dinner last night, my family Langjun said that he was tired and wanted to rest, I saw that his face was not very good, so he waited to wash, and then he said that he wanted to rest alone tonight, so I went to the side room."
When dawn came, I saw that there had been no movement in his room, and I was worried that I had missed the order in the house, so I came to call him.
Who knew that after calling for a long time, I didn't see him answer.
In a panic, he pushed the door and took a look. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Niangzi's voice choked up, and tears rained down in her eyes.
"That's it...... I saw Lang Jun lying on the ground, and he couldn't make it ......."
"When the county received a report before, my subordinates told me that there was no trace of a fire at the scene, but there was a stove here."
Su Dawei took a look, the furnace was pitch black, and there were many black ash embers in the corner of the furnace and on the floor of the room.
This shows that the deceased was burning things before he died.
And it burned a lot.
"The concubine was in a hurry, and now I don't remember what she said at the time, but you see, it's a small stove, and the furniture around is intact, how can it burn people like this.
Besides, if a person catches fire, he will be in pain, and he will definitely cry out for help, but this ...... There is no sign of his struggle here.
The concubine is a light sleeper, and if Lang Jun shouts, she will definitely wake up.
But when I slept until dawn, I didn't hear any sound.
This......
This is counterintuitive! ”
Su Dawei listened silently.
Qian Bazhi looked at the woman, and then at the two servants who were busy around the corpse.
He touched his chin and pondered.
Su Dawei thought for a while and said, "I still have one more question. ”
Zhou Niangzi wiped the tears under her eyes and raised her eyes to look at him.
That look is really pitiful to me, and the pear blossoms are pretty.
Su Dawei was unmoved, and looked at her calmly: "When I came in, I felt that it was dark in the house, and with my eyesight, I couldn't see what was lying on the ground in the house for the first time, Mrs. Zhou was just an ordinary woman, how did I know that something happened to Cui Lian?"
A normal person should walk directly into the room, in that case, it is inevitable to step on the corpse lying on the ground.
But I've seen it, and I haven't seen it.
Your footprints stop only in front of the door.
How do you explain this? ”
Qian Bazhi, as well as the two servants who were examining the corpse, all of them froze.
Then he stared at Zhou Niangzi.
Could it be that the murderer is the woman in front of him?
"You...... Do you still doubt me? ”
Zhou Niangzi shuddered for a moment, and panic flashed in her eyes.
"Zhou Niangzi, if you can't explain this matter, then please follow us back to the yamen."
Su Dawei said.
