Zhu Shaoyang didn't understand what Song Ruilong meant, and said, "What do you mean to say that there is water on my Uncle Yang's quilt?"

Song Ruilong pointed to a large area of water stains and said, "Look at it yourself, how can there be so many water stains on his bed, and there is still water in these water stains, what's going on?"

Zhu Shaoyang's face was very ugly, and he said, "Maybe my Uncle Yang drank too much and vomited here."

Song Ruilong calmed his face and said, "You can see clearly, your Uncle Yang is lying down, even if he wants to vomit, how can he vomit on his buttocks?" He's going to vomit on the ground. But now the house is very clean, and there is no vomit from anyone, not even the quilt. ”

Song Ruilong lifted the corner of the quilt, sniffed it in the place with the most water stains, and said: "There is no peculiar smell on this water stain at all, nor is it sweat, but an ordinary watermark." This shows that your Uncle Yang already brought a lot of water with him before he went to sleep in the house, didn't it? ”

Zhu Shaoyang was surprised and said, "Poor people, how do you know this?" Maybe it's my Uncle Yang who washed the water on himself in order to sober up. ”

Song Ruilong shook his head and said, "The weather was not too hot last night, because there was a light rain the night before yesterday, so if you don't sleep with a quilt last night, you will definitely catch a cold." Even if your Uncle Yang drank a lot of wine, it would be impossible for him to pour water on his head. This is common sense, and drunk people simply don't know what method to use to sober up the fastest. Therefore, the water on your Uncle Yang was definitely not poured on by himself. ”

Su Xianrong found some white powder on Yang Tian's pillow.

Su Xianrong carefully pinched the white powder onto a piece of white paper with his hand, put it on his nose and sniffed it, with surprise on his face, and said, "Brother Song, do you smell it?"

Song Ruilong smelled it and said, "This is the same as the taste of ** incense."

Su Xianrong walked to the door, pushed open a small door, and saw a platform.

Below the platform is the Pingshui River.

Su Xianrong walked up to the platform and looked at it, then returned to Song Ruilong, and said, "Brother Song, according to the results of the autopsy and what we found at the scene, it is certain that the deceased Yang Tian was stunned by someone with ** incense and thrown into the Pingshui River through this platform. This is obvious murder. ”

Song Ruilong glared at Zhu Shaoyang and said, "From the truth, how did you kill your Uncle Yang?"

Zhu Shaoyang's face was innocent, and he immediately knelt in front of Song Ruilong and said: "Lord Tolerance, Xiaomin was wronged, Xiaomin went back to sleep in the house after drinking last night, how could Uncle Yang be thrown down the Pingshui River, Xiaomin really doesn't know anything."

Song Ruilong now has no direct evidence to prove that Yang Tian was killed by Zhu Shaoyang, he said that, just to deceive Zhu Shaoyang, but this trick did not have the expected effect.

Song Ruilong said slowly: "Get up!" Your Uncle Yang's death can be said to be inseparable from everyone in your inn, if you want to exonerate yourself, this county hopes that you can tell this county what you know truthfully. ”

Zhu Shaoyang was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, stood up straight with trembling, and said, "Are you Lord Song Ruilong Song?"

Su Xianrong said: "Yes, he is Song Ruilong, the county commander of our Ping'an County."

Zhu Shaoyang immediately knelt on the ground for Song Ruilong again, and said, "Xiaomin Zhu Shaoyang has seen Lord Zhixian."

Song Ruilong opened the fan and let the "mirror hang" face Zhu Shaoyang and said, "Get up!"

After Song Ruilong heard a rush of footsteps, he turned around and saw Liu Tianxiong and Shen Jing, the deputy catcher, walking up from the staircase.

Liu Tianxiong said excitedly: "Crayfish, I finally found you."

Song Ruilong looked at Liu Tianxiong's face with a smile, and he also said excitedly: "How is it?" Are there any new discoveries? ”

Liu Tianxiong stretched out his hand, made a swing to himself, motioned to Song Ruilong, and said, "Major discovery."

Song Ruilong walked to Liu Tianxiong's side, leaned his ear over, and said, "Speak!"

After listening to this, Song Ruilong said with a bright smile on his face, "This is how it turned out."

Song Ruilong slowly walked to Zhu Shaoyang's side and said, "Zhu Shaoyang, this county asks you, where will you put the vegetables and meat you buy a lot, if they are not sold out that day?"

Zhu Shaoyang said: "We have an ice cellar, and the meat and vegetables that are usually used up will be put into the ice cellar to keep fresh."

Song Ruilong said sharply: "Take us to the ice cellar immediately!"

Zhu Shaoyang didn't dare to disobey Song Ruilong's words, and obediently took Song Ruilong and the others to the kitchen. Then a wooden lid was opened, revealing a hole that could fit two people at a time.

Zhu Shaoyang was walking in front with a candle in his hand, and Song Ruilong and the others followed closely behind.

Between the ice cellar and the kitchen is a steep staircase, which is made of wood.

Song Ruilong still felt very stuffy when he was on the third floor, but when he arrived in this ice cellar, it was like coming to a cold and snowy place.

When Song Ruilong and the others went down to the lowest end, he felt that he had descended about three zhang deep.

After Song Ruilong stood firm, he took the candle in Zhu Shaoyang's hand, and took a closer look in the ice cellar, which was surrounded by things covered with straw.

The temperature of the ice bricks is very cold.

Zhu Shaoyang shrunk his neck and said intermittently: "This ...... The ice bricks here are all from our inn, fished in the river last winter, and fished ...... We used a knife to pile up the large ice cubes that looked like bricks. The straw is used to prevent the loss of cold air, and the ice is also intended to last longer. ”

After Song Ruilong looked at the ice, he said, "Of course this county knows these truths."

Song Ruilong took the candle and looked carefully in the middle of the ice cellar, and found that there was a lot of vomit on the ground, and there was a layer of ice on those vomit.

Song Ruilong instructed Liu Tianxiong to collect the vomit in a black sack, he looked at the cabbage leaves on the ground again, picked up one with his hands, took out a piece of paper from his arms, picked up the cabbage leaf, and wrapped it in the paper.

Song Ruilong looked at Zhu Shaoyang and said, "Master Zhu, who do you think these things on the ground spit out here?" ”

Zhu Shaoyang thought for a while and said slowly: "If you go back to the adult, Xiaomin usually doesn't come to this kind of place. In addition to Ding Yang and Lu Dashan, who helped in the kitchen, the cooks Lu Jiu Congee and Zhang Baiwei would also come in to get some things. Uncle Yang also comes sometimes. Oh, by the way, maybe Uncle Yang was too hot last night, so he ran to this cellar to cool off, but as a result, the wine in his stomach was too strong, so Uncle Yang spit out all the wine in his stomach. That's how it should be. ”
