The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

On the sixth day of April, about the evening of the evening, two men, four women and six foreigners contracted an independent courtyard behind the'Longsheng Old Store'.

After nightfall the next day, according to the shop’s usual practice in the shop, when I went to the backyard to inquire about ‘whether hot water is needed’, I found that the yard’s door was wide open, and there was no dark light inside.

Zhou Bajin was worried that he had hired a thief, so he hurriedly called to the shopkeeper Zhao in the shop and went into the house with lanterns.

It turned out that the six guests were all lying naked on the ground, and the boss had a hole in their hearts!

Even though the treasurer Zhao fainted, Zhou Bajin called for help from the guests in the yard next door before he carried him back to the front.

It was just this delay, and things couldn't be covered up naturally.

When Zhao Wuwei received the report and arrived overnight, I didn't know how many people had been in and out of the scene, and a lot of vomit was left behind.

After an on-site inspection, it was confirmed that the hands and feet of these six people had been restrained, and there were multiple wounds on their bodies. They should have been severely beaten during their lifetime.

The fatal injury was that the chest was cut open and the heart was removed.

In view of this detail, after Wei Ruolan took over the case, she pointed the finger at the vendetta and instructed Master Qi to conduct a more detailed investigation.

However, this careful investigation does not matter, the case has become confusing!

I listened to Master Qi with a wry smile: "At first, I asked people in the inn for cross-examination to determine who had been in and out of the inn before and after the incident. Unexpectedly, when I asked, everyone said the same thing. People are still alive well before evening!"

Since entering the door, Master Qi has been speaking. Wei Ruolan only responded twice occasionally, apparently because she felt that she had turned to Sun Shaozong for help, which had greatly lost her face.

"Are you alive well before evening?"

Sun Shaozong frowned, picked up the case and took a look at it. Then he questioned: "But the autopsy report clearly stated that they died from [7 am] to [11 noon] in the morning, how could it be possible? Are you still alive in the evening?"

After a pause, he suspiciously asked, "Could the corpse have used any hands and feet that caused a misjudgment of the time of death?"

"Students had doubts like this before."

Master Qi spread his hands together, and continued to smile bitterly: "But after a few days of investigation, no trace was found. Besides, it is the old Xu in our house who is in charge of the autopsy. Correct."

Not to mention the professional qualities of Old Xu, Master Qi is also an old criminal name. Since he has become suspicious, it is logically unlikely that he will be fooled.

"Also."

Master Qi said again: "The six people were not only stripped of their clothes, and all their luggage was gone. They are not locals, so until now it is difficult to confirm their identity, and the murderer's motives are even impossible to judge."

Even if there is not much luggage, plus the clothes and socks for six people, there should be quite a big pile. If you want to go out quietly, I am afraid it is not easy...

It should take a lot of time to bind, beat, gouge your heart, and maybe even ask for something...

Could it be that the inside should be combined with the outside?

Sun Shaozong passed all the suspicions in his mind, and then asked: "Where are the witnesses' confessions?"

Master Qi hurriedly stepped forward and selected a few pointers to Sun Shaozong from the nearly one hundred pages of investigation records: "Look, your lord, all the confessions related to time have been sorted out by the students in one place."

Looking at the thick pile of records, and looking at him like a few treasures, you know that he really spent a lot of effort on this case.

Sun Shaozong read these pages of confessions carefully and found that nearly half of them were confessions from the shop’s small two weeks and eight kilograms. The remaining half belonged to the couple who lived in the courtyard next door, the shopkeeper of Longsheng’s old store, the staff of nearby restaurants, And a wandering Taoist priest.

The content of the confession is roughly as follows:

The shop is two weeks and eight catties: I was called over in the morning and asked what we have to eat in the shop. The villain recommended some special dishes. Who knows that the few guest masters are not satisfied with the food, and they are nearby in the afternoon. Ordered a table of wine and dishes in the restaurant.

Wang Ergou, a nearby restaurant guy: Yes, yes, yes, when the villain brought the food and drink, the few guest masters were still alive and well [at two o'clock in the afternoon], the villain came to collect the dishes, and they were all okay. .

The shopkeeper has two weeks and eight catties: The few guest masters must have eaten a few more cups, just what they are... Hey, adults, you know, these men and women are not so innocent when they are playing together outside.

Probably the movement was too loud, and the couple next door was quarreled. The man next door came to the house to reason. The quarrel with a female guest inside was extremely fierce. When the shopkeeper and I rushed over to persuade the fight, the man had been kicked out.

The two of us talked badly, but the surnamed Hakka who had just persuaded us to let go.

Shopkeeper Zhao from the old Rongsheng store: I heard the quarrel inside first, and then I called out to persuade me to fight.

Zhang Kai, who lives next door: Reply to your lord, Zhuo Jing and I did hear that they should be around "Shen Shi" [3 pm] when they were next door to Emperor Hu Tian and Hu.

I went to the door and wanted them to be quieter, but who knew that a violent woman came out, but she scolded me!

Yes, yes, one of them is dead. This woman has a horse face, and I can recognize it even if it's burnt to ashes!

Zhang Kai's wife: I wanted to stop the friend at the time, but he insisted on arguing. Fortunately, he just quarreled a few words, otherwise there are so many people...

The shop's small two weeks and eight catties: By the evening, a wandering Taoist also somehow touched into the backyard, saying that he was going to help a few guest masters to tell the fortune, but he was kicked out again.

Shopkeeper Zhao from the old Rongsheng shop: I actually saw it when the old way went in, but since the next few guests are in the house, I didn't care too much.

Taoist Li, who travels around the world: In order to rebuild the temple gate, Poor Dao wanted to earn some incense money in this capital. In the past half month, he went to dozens of inns in Xicheng. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask.

Since the guests may not be in the house during the day, the trails are always in the morning, midnight, and night.

That evening, after I went in, I hadn't explained the matter clearly. A fat man pushed me out with a push and shoved me. If it weren't for the shop, Xiao Er helped the trail, I was afraid that the trail would have been hurt by him early.

The shopkeeper is two weeks old and eight catties: I helped the old way out, and after another quarter of an hour, the shopkeeper told me to go around each house to see if the guests wanted to use hot water at night, who knows that...

what? You said they died in the morning? how can that be? ! This is never possible!

Zhang Kai next door: This is impossible! Unless the woman who quarreled with me was actually a demon!

Zhang Kai's wife: If you die...dead, can you also...do things like that? !

Shopkeeper Zhao: Big... Adults don't be joking, little old man... Obviously... I heard that the woman was arguing with the guest next door!

Wandering Li Taoist: No wonder the fat man insisted on driving me out, it turned out that he was turned into a ghost! Pindao had forgotten to open his eyes at the time, otherwise...

Zhang Ergou, a guy in a nearby restaurant: Sir, you...you don't understand what you said, the living people want to eat, the dead...the dead...the dead should not eat, right?

At this point, the confession came to an end.

But this content is really... it's really weird!

The six people who died in the morning have actually interacted with many of these people in the afternoon!

Moreover, Li Daoshi and Zhou Bajin, the last time they saw the deceased was only a quarter of an hour before and after the body was found~www.wuxiaspot.com~ At this point, it is not to say that it is a murder, even if only the clothes are stripped and taken away. Luggage, I’m afraid it’s hard to do it, right? !

That's not a big deal. After seeing Sun Shaozong finished reading, Master Qi next to him hurriedly added: "According to the survey these days, Bajin grew up in Xicheng since childhood, and went to Longsheng old store for four years to work as a buddy. He has never left the capital. ."

"The three generations of shopkeeper Zhao's grandparents ran the Longsheng old store, and they also never left the capital."

"The Zhang Kai and his wife next door are from Jinmen Prefecture. They came to Beijing for the first time in their lives. The purpose was to visit their wife and sister who married two years ago because they had a rift with their brother-in-law, so they stayed in the inn temporarily."

"Li Daoshi is a native of Cangzhou Prefecture, Hebei. He became a monk in Qinglongguan, Tongzhou six years ago. He traveled in Beijing for half a month and made a living by looking at pictures for others."

"The restaurant partner Wang Ergou was originally from Baoan Prefecture, Hebei. He has been living in the capital after the disaster last year. He only went to the restaurant a few days ago."

After hearing this, Sun Shaozong was silent for a while, and then said: "You mean, there is nothing to do with these witnesses? It is even more impossible to shield each other?"

"Exactly!"
