This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 99 You Are Suspicious!
Lord Tiger is the golden tiger on Lu Yuanzhi's black brocade and white jade shoulders.

In the capital, Pei Yinlang, an ordinary person and a low-ranking official, is called Lord Tiger.

Lu Yuanzhi listened to Master Hu all day today, and gradually got used to it.

"Master Hu, the first witness was a maid called Qing'e, who is now being interrogated in the room."

The soldier who led the three into the courtyard replied to Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded slightly, as the first witness would give the first clue.

Several people rushed all the way, and in a short time, they rushed to a room that looked pretty good.

Seeing the furnishings of the house, Lu Yuanzhi's first reaction was that this guy is quite rich.

Wang Yanxiao also looked at Lu Yuanzhi, and the eyes of the two were the same in surprise.

Gee.

A knowing smile.

As a native of Pei Yinlang's yamen, he is more sensitive to cases than ordinary people.

A small captain of the city guard can build a house with such furnishings. If you say that he is not dirty at all, who will believe it?

"The study is neatly organized."

There was a trace of strangeness in Lu Yuanzhi's eyes.

"This is the place where my lord was assassinated."

Speaking of this, the soldier's eyes flashed a trace of depression.

After all, it is the Shangguan who has been with him for a long time. He is stronger than Jin Jian without intercession, but there is also a trace of emotion and morality.

As soon as they entered the room, the three of Lu Yuanzhi smelled an unconcealable stench.

This smell is like something moldy, even if you close your breath, the smell still wants to get into the person's nose with the soreness above it.

You don't need to look, just by smelling it, you can guess that the corpse has been dead for at least two days.

Especially in this August weather, the temperature is already close to [-] degrees.

Then looking up, four servants from Jingzhao Mansion were interrogating a maid who looked pretty good.

At this time, the servant girl's face was full of shock, her shoulders shrugged a little, she looked like a bullied little rabbit.

Among the servants of Jingzhao Mansion, there is obviously a leader.

The leader looked about thirty or forty, and the one with the big horse and golden knife was sitting on a chair, staring at the maid named Qing'e with her round dark face.

The tone was threatening: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be arrested and sent to the Jingzhao Mansion prison today, and by then it will be too late for you to tell the truth!"

"The servant girl dare not hide from the poor master." The maid named Qing'e was full of horror.

"Okay, then let me ask you, when did you find out about your master?"

Hearing that the guard asked this question, Lu Yuanzhi, Wang Yanxiao and Zhang Long became a little quieter.

All attention was placed on the woman named Qing'e, quietly waiting for her reply.

"Tomorrow is the end of my master's rest. According to the usual practice, I will come and prepare with my master for the daily necessities for going to the army tomorrow."

"When I entered the study, I smelled a bad smell. At that time, the slaves felt that it was a little abnormal. The master always likes to be clean, and even the mess on the table would make him angry. How could the room smell so bad?"

"After calling for a while, the master didn't respond. I ventured to walk deeper, only to find that the master has lost his breath."

"What about your master's family!"

"Reporting to my lord, the mistress and the young master went back to their hometown to visit relatives more than a month ago."

When Qing'e answered, her face was still filled with horror.

Lu Yuanzhi naturally heard these words.

At this time, he had slowly walked into the depths of the study.

The movement of several people coming over naturally attracted the attention of the guards of Jingzhao Mansion inside.

The guards raised their heads and looked over, and when they saw the black brocade and white jade on the three of them, their eyes instantly softened.

It seemed that the villains who were interrogating the little girl just now were just hallucinations.

"How many tiger masters are here?!"

The guard who was sitting on the chair with the big horse and golden sword stood up directly, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Ah."

Wang Yanxiao has had a lot of face-to-face meetings with these yamen in Jingzhao Mansion, Ministry of Punishment and so on.

"Today happened to be me waiting to inspect Xuanwu Street."

After explaining a sentence lightly, Wang Yanxiao frowned and asked the yamen servant: "What do you say? Did you find anything?"

When the guard heard this, bitterness appeared on his face:
"The deceased was 33 years old, and he was a martial artist in the Jingjing Realm. His name was Wang Yan, and he was the captain of the garrison camp in the east of the city."

"That's all?" Wang Yan frowned with a smile.

"I've just arrived, and what the tiger masters heard from this maid just now is the clue that the few of us asked."

"That's why I didn't ask anything." Wang Yan smiled expressionlessly.

He was already cursing Jingzhao Mansion's trash in his heart.

But on the surface, he still checked around calmly.

Lu Yuanzhi didn't speak in a hurry, his eyes just scanned everything in the study inch by inch.

The first thing I saw was the paintings on the table.

Unexpectedly, as a school lieutenant who was born as a martial artist, this surnamed Wang's painting skills are not bad.

These few self-paintings have some effort.

"Master Tiger, don't blame me. I just arrived not too long ago. If I interrogate again, I will definitely be able to find useful clues."

The guard looked serious.

"Ah."

Wang Yanxiao's expression showed no joy or anger.

He crossed his arms and looked around the furnishings in the house.

And the guard stared at the maid called Qing'e with a dark face, and asked:
"Say, when was the last time I saw your master?!"

Qing'e was obviously taken aback by the officer's yelling, her frail body trembled, and then tremblingly said:

"At Maoshi this morning, the maidservant woke up early to wash, and saw the master wandering around the door of the study for half a circle..."

"What was different about your master at that time?"

The guard continued to ask.

Qing'e thought about it for a while, and said: "No..."

"Then did you hear any movement today? For example, the sound of fighting."

Wang Yanxiao's voice suddenly sounded, and he looked at Qing'e expressionlessly.

"This...no."

Qing'e hesitated for a moment, tried hard to remember, and finally chose to shake her head.

Everyone is frowning.

Only Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Qing'e, and looked at Qing'e calmly.

He had just looked at the corpse carefully.

The corpse is now close to the view of giants.

In other words, considering the current temperature, the corpse had been dead for at least three days.

Generally speaking, when the temperature is above 25 degrees Celsius, three or four days, or even five days, it is basically close to the view of giants, and sometimes the gender cannot be seen from a distance.

Of course the smell is great.

With a temperature of more than ten degrees, generally there will be no giant view for three or four days, but the smell must still be there.

In this case, the main contributing factor is dehydration.

Dehydration can make lips thin and dark, and a common phenomenon is showing front teeth.

On the one hand this is related to the relaxation of the cadaver muscles, and on the other hand it is also related to dehydration.

Another phenomenon is that the whites of the eyes are black.

The eyes of 80% of the corpses will not be completely closed, and the exposed whites of the eyes will turn black due to dehydration and oxidation.

And just now this servant girl actually said that she saw her master wandering around the door of the study in the morning?
How does a body that has been dead for at least three days hang around the door at Mao time today?

Is this maid lying? ?
Lu Yuanzhi stared quietly at the trembling maid.
