Chapter 207: The Man Who Was Slain
Chapter 207 The Man Who Was Slain,
When Ye Xing and the others left Wu Saburo's house, it was already evening, and at this time, the sky was still in the sky, and the wind and snow were still there.
The weather is cold, and there are even fewer pedestrians on the street, even those children who like to play in the snow are hiding at home and refusing to come out again, Ye Xing and a few of them are ready to go back, today they have investigated a lot of things, although the harvest is not big, but this case is already clear in their hearts,
They passed by Sancha Hutong, and Di Xiaojie said unintentionally: "That Iron Master came to investigate that Ah Fa, I don't know how the investigation went." ”
"I want to know, let's just go and see." Ye Xing and the others stood at the three-way intersection, and then walked in the direction of Ah Fa's house,
Hutong has always been a Yanjing characteristic, which Hua Zhimeng understands best, because today's Yanjing is the Beijing of the future, and Hua Zhimeng often goes to Beijing on business trips, so Hutong is no stranger to her.
The courtyard was empty, and there was a large cauldron in the corner of the wall, and the chestnuts and sand in the pot had no heat, Ye Xing looked around, and suddenly felt something unusual,
He suddenly took Hua Zhimeng and them to Ah Fa's room, and then saw a corpse lying on the ground, the blood was frozen, and there was a faint ice slag in the red.
"He's Ah Fa." Di Xiaojie asked with some confusion,
Ye Xing nodded: "Ah Fa's home here, he must be Ah Fa, and you see that his hands are cocoons that are often fried and ground by chestnuts." ”
"But who will kill him?" Xu Ruoxuan was puzzled,
Ye Xing didn't answer this question, because he didn't know how to answer this question, he leaned over to check Ah Fa's body, and found that the wound was in the neck, which should have been hacked to death.
Ah Fa died here, what about Tie Rong, didn't she come to investigate the matter?
Ye Xing got up and looked around, there was no mess in the house, which showed that the murderer's martial arts were good, it was easy to kill Ah Fa, there was a shovel in the country where chestnuts were fried in the corner, and the handle of the shovel was facing the door, as if it was indicating something,
"How did Ah Fa die?" Hua Zhi dreamed that Ye Xing didn't say a word, so he asked,
"At that time, Ah Fa was frying chestnuts over there, and then a man came in, and Ah Fa led the man into the house, but when they came to the house, the murderer hacked Ah Fa to death with a knife."
"That means Ah Fa is defenseless against that person."
Ye Xing nodded, seeing that the situation is indeed the case,
The snow is very heavy, and the footprints of the murderer and Ah Fa have been covered, and it is impossible to find clues from the footprints, but Ye Xing understands very well that the murderer killed Ah Fa because he didn't want Ah Fa to denounce him, and if so, the murderer who killed Ah Fa must also be the murderer who killed Zhang Hao.
"What are we going to do now?" Di Xiaojie asked,
Ye Xing looked up at the sky, twilight, they should go back, but Ye Xing had an ominous premonition in his heart,
And Ye Xing knew that this kind of ominous premonition came to Tie Rong,
Just as a few of them were about to leave here, and then let some officials carry the body away, a person suddenly rushed in.
She is Tierong, her face is very red, but it is not because she saw Ye Xing, but because of running, she seems to have been running for a long time, in this wind and snow,
"Master Tie seems to be late, that Ah Fa has already been killed." Di Xiaojie said with a smile, he just couldn't get used to Tie Rong's arrogance,
Tie Rong glared at Di Xiaojie, then came to the house and said, "I already knew this, and he wasn't dead when I came. ”
"You've already been here." Ye Xing was a little surprised, and the uneasiness in his heart was even better,
"That's right, when I came, I happened to see a person who killed him and wanted to escape, I saw that Ah Fa couldn't point out any clues, so I asked the people here to go to the government to report the case, and I went to chase the murderer, but unfortunately in the end I let him run away."
As soon as Tie Rong said this, Ye Xing understood why there was no one in this huge courtyard, it turned out that they all went to report the case.
But when Ye Xing thought of reporting the case, the uneasiness in his heart was even greater.
At this time, the door of Afa's house in Sancha Hutong suddenly opened, and then a group of officials poured in, followed by some people.
"My lord, it's that woman, she killed Ah Fa, we heard someone looking for Ah Fa, but when we opened the door, we saw this woman running out in a hurry." A woman in her fifties said to a ruler, and she said very miserably,
Ye Xing's uneasiness was finally fulfilled, and those people relied on Tie Rong's death for Ah Fa's death.
The leading official was a burly man, his armor looked very conspicuous in the snow, he came to Ye Xing and them, glanced at everyone, and then arched his hand to Tie Rong and said, "It turned out to be Master Tie." ”
"Vice Admiral Murong Tian, it's really time for you to come." Tie Rong's words were a little cold,
Murong Tian glanced at the corpse in the room, and said with some embarrassment: "I was ordered by the prefect to come to check on the corpse, but the woman said that you killed this person, so I have to act impartially." ”
Tie Rong smiled, she understands this kind of thing very well, although she didn't kill Ah Fa, but the mouths of the people have to be guarded against, otherwise I am afraid that everyone in Yanjing will say that the prefect is biased towards his subordinates,
"Please, I'll go back to the prefect to investigate this matter clearly." After Tie Rong finished speaking, she strode ahead, and she made people feel suddenly proud,
Ye Xing shook his head and smiled faintly: "Let's go back too, I'm afraid there will be a good show this time." ”
But will this be a good show, Ye Xing doesn't think so in his heart, if he can't find the real murderer, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Tie Rong to get away with it, even if the prefect Dugu appreciates her so much, in order to give an explanation to the people of Yanjing, he is afraid that he will not let Tie Rong go easily,
The snow fell more at dusk, but this day was not dark because it was reflected in the snow.
Murong Tian's people carried Ah Fa's corpse and walked through the street, and those people who were already ready to rest ran out because of curiosity, they followed behind Murong Tian and those servants, muttering quietly, and in a moment, the whole street knew that Ah Fa was dead, and he was killed by Master Tie,
Ye Xing was angry at the ignorance of these people, but he couldn't do anything, the times were like this, they were easy to listen to one-sided words,
Murong Tian did not try the case in the lobby after they came to Dugu Mansion, but brought Tie Rong directly to Dugu Cai's living room, those who were waiting outside to see the ascension hall waited for a long time, because no one came, they all slowly dispersed, but the matter of Tie Rong's murder spread more widely, and the more he said, the more people believed that Ah Fa was killed by Tie Rong,
Because the prefect Dugu did not hear the matter in the lobby,
