Da Song Private Investigator

As winter deepened, Huainan City finally had a light snowfall.

The light snow started to fall in the evening, and then it fell endlessly.

For the people in Huainan City, snow is a very rare thing, so in the evening, everyone was very excited, whether they were adults or children, they all ran out of their homes, either meeting to chat together, or going to Drinking, for such a poetic place, everyone feels that staying at home is a waste.

The night gradually deepened, and the originally bustling Huainan City gradually fell into silence. The streets and alleys were covered with white snow, and the occasional barking of dogs made the entire Huainan City look like a fairyland in a painting.

And at this time, a figure slowly approached from a distance, and when it got closer, it was discovered that it was an old man in his 60s, who was walking step by step, and he was walking very slowly, as if Afraid that he would slip if he wasn't paying attention, the old man's head was already covered with snowflakes, but he didn't care, he still walked, but after walking for a while, the speed was slower, and he looked around while walking, but Even so, no one would think that he was a thief. There are such old thieves there, even if they steal something, they can't run away, right?

The cold wind was even colder, the old man tightened his clothes, and then walked into an alley in a flash.

At this point, the surroundings became even more silent, as if nothing could make a sound in this world.

It snowed all night, but when I woke up the next day, the whole world was not as white as I imagined, and the temperature in Huainan was still quite high. After one night, all the snow melted.

And just when the people of Huainan City came out to start their busy day, there was a sudden scream in an alley, and the sound of people dying soon spread throughout the streets of Huainan City.

A man died in the alley, it is said to be an old man.

After Hualang and Sima Guang heard the news, they immediately took people to that alley. The alley was called Huaimo Hutong, but although the name of this alley sounds very elegant, this place is where the lowest-level people in Huainan City live. This place emits a stench all day long, but in order to survive, many people still live here.

The person who found the corpse was a resident of Huaimo Hutong. He got up early in the morning and was going to set up a stall. Then he found the corpse. The corpse was lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in the back. The dead man had a gourd in his hand, a gourd The wine in the bottle had already been spilled, and the old man's face was so ferocious that people didn't know what to do for a while.

After Hualang and Sima Guang arrived at Huaimo Hutong, they inspected the corpse. The fatal injury of the deceased was easy to find out. It was stabbed by the dagger on the back. The clothes are a little torn, there are scratches on the arms, and there may have been a lot of struggle.

Other than that, nothing was found.

After Hwarang saw the corpse, he said this again. Of course, the time of death can be estimated roughly, it should be around midnight yesterday.

After saying this, Hwarang asked the people nearby if anyone knew who the deceased was. Hwarang felt that since the deceased walked into this Huaimo Hutong, it was very likely that he was from this alley. Maybe someone knew who he was. .

However, the incident disappointed Hwarang, because no one in Huaimo Hutong knew the deceased. Although he had appeared in this place before, they didn't know who he was, where he came from, and where he was going.

Because of this, Hwarang, Sima Guang and others were very puzzled. Since the deceased was not from Huaimo Hutong, it was so late, what was he doing here?

Could it be that he is a thief and wants to take advantage of the darkness to fish in troubled waters in this place?

But the people in Huaimo Hutong are very poor, and how can there be a thief with a pot of wine?

Since the deceased was not from Huaimo Hutong, Hwarang had no choice but to ask Sima Guang to search for someone who knew the deceased throughout Huainan City. There are too few clues now, and the next step is to investigate only after knowing the identity of the deceased.

Sima Guang quickly ordered, and then the body of the deceased was taken away by the yamen servants. Soon, Huaimo Hutong returned to its former state. It was bustling, but it was a kind of bustling that gave people a sense of desolation.

Because the deceased was from Huainan City, the identity of the deceased was investigated that evening. He was from Qingyue Street, and when everyone heard about Qingyue Street, they were a little surprised. Although Qingyue Street had a nice name, but He, like Huaimo Hutong, is a place where low-level people live, but there is a little difference between Qingyue Street and Huaimo Hutong, that is, most of the people in Qingyue Street are punks, and because Huainan There are Sima Guang and Hua Lang sitting in the city, and these little gangsters in the past have no way out. They get together and try their best to eat and drink every day.

The dead man was called Longtou. I heard that he was the leader of a gang of gangsters in Huainan City more than ten years ago, but he didn't do well later, and he became like this now. He was busy working for three meals a day, and betrayed himself in order to have a drink dignity.

In fact, when life cannot be guaranteed, few people will consider their own dignity, just like those servants of rich families, in order to survive, they work as maids for others, and are ordered around every day. Sometimes they were beaten even more, but they didn't dare to do anything, because they had no money, and they had to endure it if they wanted to survive.

The leader's younger brother has long since disowned him, and now he is a widowed old man, and what he thinks about day and night is probably just to have enough to eat.

But why does a person like Longtou go to Huaimo Hutong so late?

Hwarang didn't understand this very much, so he sent someone to inquire about the people who were close to the leader. Besides, there was also the character of the leader. Although he had already guessed that his conduct was not good, Hwarang still I want to investigate and speak with facts.

After the yamen servants understood it, they immediately went down to make arrangements. This matter was very strange. Not only Hwarang was curious, but even the yamen servants were also curious.

Curiosity is human nature. Because of curiosity, those yamen servants work very hard, and they believe that as long as they do what Hwarang says, Hwarang will not let them down in the end, and Hwarang will be able to make them come true. their curiosity.

When Hwarang ordered to go down, it was getting late, and at this time, the wind was colder, and the poor who had no money to buy clothes to warm themselves turned into bed early.

Hwarang stood in front of the window and couldn't help sighing. He felt that the final result of this murder case would make people feel uncomfortable.
