Chapter 902: Attic Secret Room
Drinking alcohol makes mistakes, and drinking can sometimes cost you your life.
After Hua Lang finished speaking, Li Jingan hurriedly said: "The playboy's speculation is correct, it's just that this murder case is probably a closed room murder case, and it is not easy to solve!" ”
Hua Lang encountered a lot of secret room murder cases, but in the end he solved them all, so Li Jingan said that it was not easy to solve it, but Hua Lang wanted to break it and try it.
After Li Jing'an's words were finished, Hua Lang walked slowly to the door, and the door bolt had been kicked at this time, but after careful inspection, there was nothing unusual about the door bolt, it was indeed kicked from the outside.
Seeing this, Hua Lang asked, "Where is the maid who found the corpse?" ”
Not much, a maid hurriedly ran over, this maid was quite a bit of a posture, but at this time, the faint eyebrows were slow to be sad and nervous, and even wanted to cry, Hua Lang glanced at her and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"The little girl's name is Cuckoo."
"What does it have to do with the dead?"
The cuckoo's face changed suddenly, and then he hurriedly replied: "It's the master's maid!" ”
"Cuckoo's name isn't your real name, is it?"
"The little girl was sold here when she was ten years old, and the lord gave me this name at that time."
"Tell me what happened!"
"I'm the master's maid, and I have to come to serve the master every morning to get up, but when I came today, I knocked on the door several times and there was no response, I thought that the master had not woken up, so I went down first, and then after half an hour, it was not early, I came to call the master again, but there was still no response inside, I was a little worried, so I found the guy from the winery to knock the door open, and after the door opened, I found that the master died inside."
"Who was the last deceased to see last night?"
"It's a little girl, my lord, he has a habit of drinking every night, and after he finishes drinking, I have to clean up the wine and food."
"What was so unusual about the deceased?"
"No, as usual!"
Hanalang nodded, then asked, "Where do you live?" ”
"None of us live here, there is a small courtyard in front, where do we live!"
"What about the deceased's wife?"
"Madame went to the province yesterday afternoon, and after the murder was discovered this morning, someone has already gone to inform Madame, and it is estimated that she will be back in a few hours."
Du Juan answered Hua Lang's question fluently, and the coherence was very clear, Hua Lang bowed slightly, and asked, "Did anyone in the house hear any movement last night?" ”
The cuckoo raised his head slightly to look at Hualang, and then shook his head: "The place where we live is some distance from here, unless the master shouts loudly, it is impossible for us to hear the movement." ”
After asking this, Hua Lang let the cuckoo go down, and then carefully searched everything in the house, and there was nothing suspicious at the door, which means that the murderer was unlikely to escape from the door, if not from the door, then only from somewhere else, the window?
Hua Lang ran to the window, and after taking a closer look, he found that everything was normal at the window, and there was no trick of escaping first and then using other methods to close the window, and the window was very high from the ground, and if he didn't have a certain light skill, the murderer didn't dare to jump down.
If the murderer did not leave through the door and did not jump out of the window, then where did he flee from?
A murderer can't go missing for no reason.
Could it be that the murderer did not leave at all, but suddenly appeared behind everyone after the door was slammed open, but if this is the case, that person must be a person who everyone knows very well, that is to say, he is a buddy of the sake shop.
After listening to Hua Lang's words, Li Jingan immediately sent someone to call the guys from the wine shop, of course, not all of them, but only those who knocked on the door this morning.
There weren't a lot of people, except for the cuckoo, and there were only two people who hit the door.
After the two of them listened to Hua Lang's questioning, they shook their heads again and again, saying that from the beginning of the door to the door opened, there were only a few of them, and no one came out of the house, they were very sure, and after the door was slammed open, there was someone guarding the door, and the murderer had no chance to hide in the house at all.
These people's words broke Hanalang's speculation just now, and if the murderer didn't flee the scene like this, then he must have escaped from a certain gap in the house, but where did he escape?
Hanaro looked the whole room inside and out, and finally focused his eyes on the top of the attic.
Because it is an attic, there is no weight on the roof, and as long as you can climb to the roof and lift the tiles, you can escape.
Thinking of this, Hua Lang hurriedly asked Yin Wufu to go up and take a look, to see if there were traces of tiles being lifted on it, and whether there were ropes.
Yin Wuxuan did it lightly, after flying up, he took a closer look, flew down and said: "Brother Hua is like a god, that's right, the roof tiles do have traces of being turned over, and there is a place on the top that also has traces of hooks, I think where the murderer escaped." ”
Now, the secret room murder case has finally figured out how it came to be, and after figuring out how it came to be, the next thing they have to do is to find the murderer.
Who would kill Du Yibai?
Hua Lang is going to start with Du Yibai's closest people, and he is going to get to know Du Yibai first.
Du Juan should be sixteen or seventeen years old now, and she said that she sold herself to the Du family when she was ten years old, so he should know Du Yibai very well.
"What kind of person do you think Du Yibai is?"
The cuckoo's cheeks were slightly red, and he lowered his head, and said after a long time: "The lord is very smart, the entire Chang'an City West City, as far as our wine here is the best, the lord is usually very upright, and he is kind, but sometimes he drinks too much, and he is easy to go crazy, and when the master is crazy, we are all afraid of him." ”
"Do you have any enemies in your lordship?"
"This ......" cuckoo suddenly hesitated.
"It's okay, you can say whatever comes to mind, and we won't leak what you say."
After getting such a guarantee from Hualang, Du Juan said: "The business of our winery is very good, but because the production of koji is slow, so the production is not very much, the other day the lord was very happy, I heard him and his wife say, it seems that he has found a partner, that partner can provide koji, in this way, we can make a lot of wine here, and our business will be very good, and in the west market of Chang'an City, there are several big wineries that are competitors with us, and there are often frictions between each other. Could it be that they hurt the master? ”
After the cuckoo finished speaking, he looked at Hua Lang with wide eyes, and Hua Lang touched his chin and pondered for a while, he felt that what Du Juan said was very possible, but there were some things that he still didn't understand clearly enough, and he hoped that after Du Yibai's wife came back, they could get some from her.
