Chapter 746: Qingjie Murder
Everyone heard that what Liu Yong asked for was related to the murder, and they suddenly came to their senses, and Hua Lang hurriedly asked, "The murder that happened in Qingjie a year ago?" ”
Liu Yong nodded: "I saw the playboy and others in Qingjie yesterday, and if you want to come, you must know what kind of place Qingjie is, right?" ”
Hua Lang bowed his head, they naturally knew this, but what was the murder that Liu Yong said?
At this time, Liu Yong continued: "Qingjie is the place where the Qinglou in the capital gathers, there are 23 Qinglou in that place, and there are popular women in each Qinglou, and every night of the Qixi Festival, Qingjie will hold an Oiran competition, each of the 23 Qinglou will send a representative to perform, the merchants and literati in the capital will be present that night, the girls in each Qinglou are going to perform the show, and after they perform, they will be rewarded by those businessmen, and the one who has to reward the most will be rewarded after the most. It is the Oiran on the night of the Qixi Festival, and whether the girls in the Qinglou can get more rewards depends on who the literati in the capital admire and who they write poems for. Of course, if the businessman is ready to support someone early on, it is a different matter. ”
After Liu Yong said this, everyone already knew a little about the Oiran Contest in Qingjie, which was no different from what they had encountered in other places before, of course, the scene might be more lively.
It's just that Liu Yong said so much, does it have anything to do with the murder he wants to talk about?
Hua Lang looked at Liu Yong, thinking that if he didn't mention the murder again, he would have to ask directly.
And at this time, Liu Yong's face suddenly sank, and said: "The murder that happened in Qingjie last year was the night of the Qixi Festival Oiran Competition, and the deceased was a Qingqing girl from Fengyue Building...... It's a shame to say it, I have always admired the Qingqing girl at that time, but she has always ignored the ......" Liu Yong said this, suddenly stopped, and seemed to be in a hurry, Hua Lang and the others saw this, and naturally understood what was going on, Liu Yong admired the Qingqing girl, and now it was Tanabata again, he naturally felt heartache when he thought of it.
After understanding Yoo Yong's purpose for coming here to find himself, Hua Lang asked, "The Qingqing girl has been killed for a year, and the case was not solved at that time?" ”
Liu Yong shook his head: "The situation at that time was extremely complicated, and the people of the government investigated for a long time but did not find the murderer, and it became an unsolved case in the end. ”
After hearing this, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and then asked, "What was the situation at that time, how was the young girl killed?" ”
"This ......" Liu Yong hesitated for a moment, and after a while, he said: "No one knows the way, if you know the way, you can find the murderer." ”
"I don't know how the young girl was killed?" Hua Lang was a little surprised, because according to his understanding, as long as there is Qingqing's corpse, he can see clues from the corpse, but why did Liu Yong say that he didn't know the way?
At this time, Liu Yong looked nervous, and hurriedly said: "It's that I didn't say it clearly enough, we all know how Lu Dao Qingqing died, but we don't know what Lu Dao she will die for, at that time, there was a big stage on Qingjie, and the tables and chairs were all around the stage, and the attic lookouts on both sides of the stage were also full of people, and everyone was watching the performance on the stage at that time, and at this time, a scream suddenly came from the second floor where Qingqing was, everyone looked for a sound, and saw Qingqing fall down from his own building, At that time, the situation was very chaotic, and when the government people arrived, Qingqing was already dead. ”
After listening to Liu Yong's words, Hua Lang frowned and asked, "Qingqing girl fell from the second floor?" ”
Liu Yong nodded again and again: "Exactly, Qingqing was the representative of Fengyue Tower at that time, and she was going to come out to perform, but it was not her turn to play at that time, so she rested in her room, but no one thought that she would fall from her attic." ”
At this time, Hua Wan'er thought about it and said, "If this is the case, then the young girl should have died in an accident, right?" ”
After Hua Wan'er finished speaking, Yin Wuxian shook her head again and again: "How is this possible, how high can the second floor in the Qinglou be?" If you fall down, you will be crippled at best, and it is impossible for you to die. ”
Liu Yong nodded again and again after listening to Yin Wu's words: "That's right, it's really impossible to die if you fall from the second floor, but the Qingqing girl really died after falling down, and later there was an inquest and found that Qingqing was poisoned to death, so I decided that she was murdered, but the situation was too complicated at that time, and the government didn't know who poisoned Qingqing and pushed her downstairs." ”
Hua Lang was silent for a moment and asked, "After the young girl fell downstairs, who rushed up first?" ”
"The situation at that time was too chaotic, after the Qingqing girl fell, everyone suddenly dispersed, but no one dared to approach, the last was the old bustard Honggu of Fengyue Lou and the good sister of Qingqing, Miss Linlin, who stepped forward to check it, and when the two of them stepped forward to turn the Qingqing girl over to check, the Qingqing girl had already bled to death."
When Liu Yong said this, his expression couldn't help but give birth to a lot of gloom, Hua Lang was silent, and Liu Yong continued: "This murder case is difficult to solve, and I no longer have any hope for this matter, but then I heard that the playboy is like a god, so I came to ask you for help, and asked the playboy to find out the murderer, so that the soul of the young girl can be freed." ”
Seeing that Liu Yong was so affectionate, Hua Lang was quite moved in his heart, and said: "Brother Liu, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter, so now I must have a more detailed understanding of the things at that time, and ask Brother Liu to say whatever he knows." ”
Liu Yong nodded: "This playboy can rest assured, I will never hide anything." ”
Hua Lang bowed his head and asked, "Who was in charge of this case at that time?" ”
"At that time, there was still a lack of prefects in Kaifeng Mansion, so it was investigated by Lord Song Qi, who had been a judge."
"Song Qi? That red apricot book? ”
Liu Yong nodded: "Song Qi, who is making a spring disturbance on the red apricot branches." ”
Hua Lang was a little surprised, but soon, he nodded, and then asked, "Was there no one in Qingqing's room at that time?" ”
Liu Yong nodded: "There was really no one at the time, before Qingqing girl was followed by a maid, that night she was greedy for fun, she had been watching the performance in front of the stage, there were many people who could testify for her, she was not there when Qingqing died." ”
When Liu Yong said this, he looked very hesitant and said, "Even so, it is really strange that the maid Ah Xia disappeared after Qingqing's death. ”
