Da Song Private Investigator

Midsummer is still here, the temperature keeps rising, and Huainan City is getting hotter and hotter.

But even though the weather was fine, because the people in Song Dynasty were too reserved, not many people actually went to bathe in the river.

If it's really hot, it's just a matter of getting some well water at home to wipe the lower body.

There are many small streams outside the city of Huainan, usually at dusk and dusk, there will be many women washing clothes beside them, this day two women came to wash again with basins and clothes, they were chatting and beating, but at this time Suddenly, there was something floating not far away. The two women were very curious, so they found a long stick to look through it. After doing this, the two women were so scared that they almost fell into the water.

The two women were so frightened that they ran away in a hurry, shouting dead, dead.

The news of a dead body floating in a stream outside Huainan City quickly spread throughout Huainan City. After Sima Guang heard about it, he immediately sent someone to invite Hualang, and they rushed to the scene of the murder a few days later.

At that time, the breeze was blowing, and there was a tinge of coolness. After the yamen guard isolated the scene, he jumped in and fished up the corpse. The body was a little white, and the spots on the corpse were even more obvious. You could tell you were dead at a glance It's been a while.

After the body was salvaged, Hwarang immediately began to inspect it. Hwarang found that the corpse of the deceased had spread over a large area. It may have been killed last night. There was a wound on the back of the deceased. At this time, the wound It was rotten, covered with maggots, very disgusting, Hua Lang frowned slightly, then got up and said: "The deceased was attacked to death from behind, the time of death should be last night, there is no burden on the deceased, I wonder if he is still in the river , Master Sima, send someone to search."

Sima Guang nodded, and then gave orders. Since it was midsummer and it was getting dark late, everyone was not in a hurry.

The two women who discovered the corpse have already been sent away. They are just discoverers, so it is useless to ask them. At this time, the countryside is lush and green, giving people a very comfortable feeling. Seeing this, Hwa Lang said: "Lord Sima, let's go together." How about walking around?"

At this time Sima Guang was only focused on the murder case, when he suddenly heard Hua Lang say that he wanted to walk around, he couldn't help being stunned, and said: "Young man, this corpse."

Hualang smiled: "The deceased had died last night, but no one has reported that his family members are missing until this time today. I think the deceased may not be from Huainan City. We don't know the identity of the deceased now, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out." Why don't we continue the investigation after we find out the identity of the deceased?"

Sima Guang nodded, and then gave the order. After the order, he accompanied Hua Lang to wander around. In fact, they were just wandering. The two of them wanted to find some clues, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

With the noise of insects in the suburbs, and the yamen guards did not find anything like a package in the water, Sima Guang frowned slightly, and speculated: "Could it be murder for money."

Regarding Sima Guang's proposal, Hua Lang smiled and said, "Master Sima, did you see the dead man's palm just now?"

Sima Guang shook his head, but at this moment, Hua Lang said: "I noticed that the dead man's palms were thick and covered with calluses, obviously he was a coolie who often worked, just imagine how much money such a person can have on his body. "

Sima Guang seemed to have realized something, but he still insisted on his own ideas, and Hua Lang did not veto it. After all, in this world, many people have the opportunity to suddenly get a windfall, and once a person gets With a windfall, the chances of something like this happening will be high.

God is fair to everyone, if it gives you a windfall, it will inevitably make you suffer some windfall.

After returning to Huainan City from the suburbs, Sima Guang began to investigate the identity of the deceased, but this matter was not easy, and Hua Lang and Sima Guang also knew about it.

So after that day, the yamen servants investigated for two or three days in a row, and finally found out some clues, saying that someone had seen this person once in Huainan City, but when he saw this person, he was dressed in rags, as if he was begging. I never saw him again.

This news made people very surprised. Why did a person who used to beg in Huainan City die later, and when he died, he seemed to be no longer a beggar, because when Hua Lang and the others found the dead, the dead wore Although the clothes they wear are not good, they are definitely not something a beggar can afford.

It seems that the deceased did get a windfall. After Sima Guang got the news, he became more firm in his previous deduction. However, even so, he could no longer get any more news about the deceased. It seemed that the deceased only appeared once in Huainan City.

If so few people have seen the deceased, then he must not be from Huainan City, so Hualang asked the yamen servant to ask the person who had seen the deceased to see if he knew the accent of the deceased. If he knew the accent of the deceased, Perhaps it is possible to send someone to the hometown of the deceased to investigate.

This clue is still feasible. The investigation by the government officials found that the deceased spoke Wu dialect. The person who had seen the deceased seemed to have studied this dialect very well. He was even able to tell that the Wu dialect of the deceased had a Jiangyin accent.

This clue is very important. If the person who saw the deceased did not make mistakes, the deceased may be from Jiangyin. For this reason, Hwarang immediately sent someone to Jiangyin to investigate and see if he could find someone who knew the deceased. In addition, Hwarang also sent people to look for people from Jiangyin in Huainan City. Hwarang believed that this windfall would not come so strangely. Maybe the person who let the deceased get this windfall was also from Jiangyin. Furthermore, maybe the deceased came to Huainan because of In order to seek refuge with fellow villagers, perhaps in Huainan City, there are people from Jiangyin who knew the deceased.

These are all the clues they can grasp now, so no matter what, in order to investigate this strange murder, they have to do this.

Of course, in addition to this, Sima Guang is still sending people to investigate to see if there are any witnesses on the night when the deceased was killed. It was in the suburbs, and it was so hot. Maybe some people couldn't sleep, and they might see nothing. uncertain.

After the distribution in this way, all everyone has to do is wait, waiting for news from Jiangyin, here in Huainan City, and outside Huainan City.

It's just that these news are very slim, at least in the eyes of Hua Lang, Sima Guang and others, they are very slim, but this is the only clue to solve the case.

After two days like this, there was finally news in Huainan City, and the news was very important.
