Chapter 474 Strange Death.

The atmosphere in the backyard is a bit eerie and makes people feel palpitations.

Bao Zheng led them into the deceased's room and said, "I have asked the jugglers, and they said that they would not open the door when they knocked, so they knocked it open, and when they entered the house, they found their companion lying on the bed, but he was dead. ”

Hua Lang glanced at the door latch and said, "So it's a secret room murder?" ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "That's right, I have already roughly examined the corpse, and it seems that it was poisoned and died." ”

"Did you eat something last night to get poisoned?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "I also thought of this, so I asked the deceased's companions, and they said that they ate and drank the same thing last night, so if the food was poisonous, they should also be poisoned,"

"Did the deceased eat supper?"

"No, they didn't eat supper because the dinner was very rich, and his companions said they didn't hear anyone go into the backyard during the night."

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Hua Lang felt that this case was really strange, he walked to the head of the bed and looked at the deceased, the hair on the top of his head was sparse, it should be caused by frequent potting, the age of the deceased was about thirty years old, maybe younger, how could such a person die in the secret room, and he died of poisoning?

Hua Lang carefully examined it, and found that the deceased was indeed poisoned, and there were no external injuries all over his body, but Hua Lang shook his head slightly when he checked here, he felt unlikely, since it was not food poisoning, it must be poisoned by other reasons, it must be that he did not test thoroughly enough.

At this time, Hua Lang took off the clothes of the deceased, and then went to investigate one by one, and finally found clues in the place between the neck, probably because the deceased was dead, the lack of moisture, the skin of the deceased shrank slightly, and at this time, the neck of the deceased gradually revealed the head of a silver needle, the silver needle is very thin, even if it is pierced into the skin, it is not good to bleed, Hua Lang pulled out the silver needle, and found that the silver needle has turned black, obviously, someone stabbed the neck of this person with a poisonous silver needle, The most culminated in the murderer's poisoning and death.

It's just that this is a secret room, and it is impossible for anyone to come in and pierce the neck of the deceased with a silver needle, and didn't the deceased's companion say that no outsider has ever entered.

Hanaro put the silver needle on the plate that had been prepared for the lun, and then got up to look around, he felt that it was impossible for the deceased to poison himself, someone must have entered the room, killed him and escaped from the chamber, of course, this is a secret room, but if there is a small hole for people to turn, everything will not make sense.

And the reason why Hanarang thought this way was because he had seen the skills of these people the night before, and one of them had a body like a snake, and he doubted that he could get through a small hole the size of a fist.

And to be able to pierce the silver needle into the neck of the deceased, it must be someone familiar to the deceased, maybe the deceased often had a potting and neck pain, so he asked his companion to help him pinch it, and at this time, his companion suddenly killed him.

There is only one window in the room, but it is closed from the inside, and there is no clue to the mechanism or anything in the window, so it is unlikely that the murderer escaped from the window, and on the side of the room, there is a hole with a thick neck, which ordinary people can't get into at all, but it is possible for a juggler to get in.

Hua Lang looked at Dong Cheng, who was standing on the side trembling, and asked, "What is the purpose of which hole?" ”

Dong Cheng didn't understand much at first, but after he saw what Hua Lang was pointing to, he hurriedly replied: "Originally, I was going to put a piece of wood to make a beam, but then the beam changed direction, and the hole was left." ”

Hua Lang bowed slightly, there are indeed beams in this room, but it is perpendicular to which hole.

Seeing this, it was necessary for Hua Lang to suspect the companions of the deceased, he asked those people to come in, and asked their names respectively, which person with a soft body like a snake was called Wu Gu, and the one who walked the rope was called Lin Qing, and the two arm strength and concentration were amazing, as if they were two brothers, the eldest brother was called Liang Tian, and the second brother was called Liang Dou, and the two of them were very burly.

Hua Lang knew the names of these people, and then looked at Wu Gu and asked, "Have you been to this room last night?" ”

Wu Gu looked very thin, shook his head and said: "No, after dinner, I will go back to the room to rest, after all, today was supposed to perform!" ”

Hanalang smiled faintly, then pointed to the hole in the wall and asked, "Can you get out of here?" ”

At this time, Wu Gu understood what Hua Lang meant, he was a little angry, and said, "I suspect that I killed our own companions? ”

Hanaro shrugged and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is only possible for you to kill someone and then escape. ”

Wu Gu was even more angry, and said angrily: "The five of us have been together for more than ten years, and the relationship has always been very good, why should I kill my companion, how can we make money by performing on the rivers and lakes if we kill him?" ”

This is indeed a difficult problem, these people have no motive to kill their companions, they walk the rivers and lakes, relying on each other's skills, if there is one less, they must make a lot less money.

is a one-handed skill, how can anyone be willing to pay a high price.

But now the only possibility is this Wu Gu, maybe there is a motive in it, but he didn't think of it.

Hua Lang frowned, if there was a gap between the five of them, would this kind of thing happen, but what gap could happen between them, everyone is a person who runs the rivers and lakes to make a living, and when they go out, shouldn't they help each other?

Hua Lang couldn't figure it out, but he felt that these people were very suspicious and couldn't let them go.

The director waited for the result with a bitter face, but the result was not as he expected, after all, everything was just speculation, and if he wanted to prove that there were murderers among these people, he had to have evidence.

Wu Gu still looked angry, as if he couldn't accept being insulted like this.

Mrs. Dong's birthday banquet could not be held, and the activities of these jugglers were also restricted, Bao Zheng stipulated that the remaining four people were not allowed to leave the Dong Mansion, and he also sent two officials to wait at the door of the backyard, which made Dong Yuan a little embarrassed, but the murder happened in his mansion, and he had no choice, so he had to accept it in the end.

There seemed to be no clues, and Hua Lang casually inquired about the family history of the remaining four, and then took people away.

There is nothing to say about the family background of the four people, all four of them are orphans, and they were originally performing on the street, but later gathered together to set up an acrobatic class to perform.
