Chapter 969: The Death of a Shopkeeper
Chapter 969: The Death of a Shopkeeper.
It's not a pleasure to have a group of friends who are very playful, at least sometimes, you have to satisfy their playfulness.
And now, in order to satisfy the playfulness of Hua Zhimeng, Di Xiaojie and the others, Ye Xing had no choice but to stay in Yunnan for a few more days.
But even so, Ye Xing has really felt free in the past few days, he is unrestrained here, he doesn't have to worry about someone framing him like in the capital, he can say whatever he wants, he can play wherever he wants, he can not go home all night when he is happy, and he can find a place to sleep when he is tired of playing.
It's been a bit of a chic day.
It's just that the days have been casual for a long time, and it has become a little boring, and Hua Zhimeng is even more so, I used to follow Ye Xing to solve the case and investigate the case, how interesting it is, although I am tired, but I can live a fulfilling life.
Now that I'm leisurely, I'm naturally bored.
Mu Chun saw Ye Xing and them like this, so he also smiled and said: "It's a good thing to be leisurely, people are too busy and lose the taste of life, it's good to find one or two things you like to do." ”
Although what Mu Chun said is very reasonable, it can be used on Ye Xing but it is not applicable, a person has too many interests, but interests are interests, and it is always difficult to squeeze out boredom.
Seeing Ye Xing like this, Mu Chun and they had no choice, so they had to promise Ye Xing that they would play here for a few more days, and then they would prepare a carriage for them and send someone to escort them back.
At this time, Hua Zhimeng and them also wanted to go back, but there were no people in the capital that they were concerned about, let alone things they were concerned about, so why go back?
The more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, and Hua Zhimeng simply didn't think about anything.
At noon on this day, the sun was not good, Ye Xing and the others were resting in the Xiping Hou Mansion, but at this time, Mu Chun hurriedly ran from outside, and after he came to Ye Xing, he said very excitedly: "King Daming, you don't have to be bored, things are coming!" ”
Ye Xing was a little puzzled, and asked, "What do you say about Xiping Hou, could it be that you have found something to do in the next place?" If you do, it's not kind, we're here to rest! ”
Xiping Hou Muchun was not angry, and said with a smile: "Of course it's not what I found for King Daming, it's something that happened in Kunming City, and I have no choice but to ask King Daming to investigate." ”
After listening to Xipinghou Muchun's words, Ye Xing was a little surprised and asked, "What is it, so that Xipinghou can't do anything?" ”
The nervous look on Xipinghou's face was gone, and he said: "In Kunming City, I see that Song Yanfu, the owner of the inn, was killed in the inn every day, and now I have sent officials to protect the scene, King Daming is like a god, don't you want to go and see?" ”
Seeing this, Ye Xing nodded and said, "Since there is a murder case, let's go and take a look." ”
Hua Zhimeng Di Xiaojie and they heard that there was a murder, and they were naturally very excited, but this is not because they like murders in cold blood, but because they feel that the murder has happened, and they can't avoid it, and now they can help the deceased find the murderer, isn't it a merit?
Of course, more is to alleviate their boredom.
Seeing the inn every day is also a first-class inn in Kunming City, and the business here is so good every day, the guests are simply pouring in like a tide every day, but if you see the inn Song Yanfu was killed in his own room every day, the inn was blocked by the officials, and the guests saw that there was a murder here, and it was too late to hide, and they dared to go in to eat again.
Behind the inn is where Song Yanfu and his family live, because the business of the inn is very good every day, so the furnishings behind the inn are still very high-grade, and it can be regarded as a wealthy family.
After Mu Chun led Ye Xing and the others to the backyard, a servant came up to report: "The scene has been blocked, just wait for King Daming to come and check the body." ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, then pushed open the door and walked in, there was no clutter in the room, Song Yanfu's body was lying on the bed, with a sharp arrow stuck in his neck, Song Yanfu was holding the arrow with one hand, as if he was in pain.
After everyone saw Song Yanfu's death, they were all a little shocked, how painful it must be like this.
Song Yanfu is not very fat, medium build, looking at his face seems to be a very honest person, after Ye Xing carefully examined, he found that Song Yanfu only had an arrow wound on his neck all over his body, and there was no scar in the rest of the place, and there was no sign of poisoning. The corpse had already appeared corpse spots, and it looked like it had been dead for a while, according to Ye Xing's estimate, it had been at least seven or eight hours, and it should have been killed last night or this morning.
The arrow pierced the neck flatly, and although it was not deep, it was deadly enough.
The window of the room was open, and it was facing the direction in which Song Yanfu fell, and there was no sign in the room, indicating that the murderer shot an arrow from outside and killed Song Yanfu.
And the murderer was standing outside the window, and shot an arrow at Song Yanfu flatly, otherwise the arrow could not be flat, because as far as Ye Xing knew, if a person shoots an arrow at someone from a high place, the arrow must be pointing downward, so when he hits Song Yanfu, I am afraid that the tip of the arrow pierced into the neck, but the arrow feathers turned upward.
Now that the body of the arrow is flat, it proves Ye Xing's guess, and the murderer is not very far from Song Yanfu.
The room was carefully inspected, and there was no suspicious situation, and the door of the room was not abnormal, and after Ye Xing's inquiry, he learned that the door was locked from the inside at first, and then when the inn's junior second came to call Song Yanfu, he found that their boss was dead in the room, so after calling the officer, the officer jumped from the window and opened the door from the inside.
After listening to the officer's words, Ye Xing asked, "The window was open at first, right?" ”
The official nodded: "That's right, it's indeed open." ”
Ye Xing nodded slightly, and then strolled to the door, the layout outside is not special, every day to see the back of the inn leads to this backyard, there are four or five rooms in the backyard, all side by side, two unknown flower trees are planted on both sides, the flower trees are very thick, but they are not high, Song Yanfu's room is in the middle of the two trees, if the murderer is standing outside the window and shoots Song Yanfu to death, the murderer should not have a lot of cover.
When Song Yanfu was killed, it should have been night, it was late autumn, even if there was a moon at night, it was not very bright, in such a situation, archery did not need cover, but the murderer could still shoot Song Yanfu in the neck in this case, the archery was really powerful, Ye Xing was secretly surprised, and then searched alone in the backyard.
