Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 187 The Place of Tryst.

At the end of dusk, the yamen servant ran back against the cold wind.

And behind the yamen servant, several arresters escorted the two of them. The two of them were dressed in ordinary clothes, no different from ordinary people, but their expressions were a bit bleak, and they were faintly disappointed. Their faces had been blown by the cold wind. It was red, but at this time they were being held, and they couldn't rub their hands to keep warm.

The yamen servant came to the living room, cupped his hands to Mr. Bao and said, "Master, Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan were arrested by us!"

When Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others heard this, they were extremely excited, and Bao Zheng even said repeatedly: "Bring them in!"

When the arresters escorted Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan in, Bao Zheng asked the yamen servant, "How did you catch them both?"

The yamen servant was rather proud, and said: "My lord, it's freezing cold today, I expected them to leave quickly, and they don't know how to eat and sleep in the open, so I asked my brothers to inquire about the inns and taverns around Tianchang County, and finally found them in an inn. them!"

Bao Zheng nodded slightly to express his satisfaction, but at this time the police had already escorted Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan in. They both wore thick clothes, and when they came to the living room and knelt down, they looked like two living Buddhas.

Looking at the two of them, Bao Zheng suddenly yelled: "Xue Kai, Wang Yuanyuan, quickly tell the truth about the murder and body exchange between the two of you, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan knelt on the ground, trembling all over, whether it was because of fear or the cold weather, they looked at each other, but they were silent.

When Bao Zheng saw this, he immediately said angrily: "Come here, take off the thick clothes on the two of them, and let's see if they say it or not!"

Using torture was not what Bao Zheng wanted, but for some things, scaring the prisoner is still very useful.

When two yamen servants came to take off the clothes of Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan, they both knelt down and begged for mercy, and after a long time, Xue Kai said: "My lord, we didn't kill anyone, then... That corpse was discovered by accident!"

Everyone heard Xue Kai's words, how could they believe it, and Bao Zheng continued to ask: "Tell me about this matter in detail, if there is something wrong, you two are murderers!"

Xue Kai nodded again and again, and then began to say: "The thing is like this, Yuanyuan and I have been in love for a long time, but Yuanyuan's mother...is too snobbish, seeing that I am poor, she refuses to marry Yuanyuan to me , and a few days ago, she accepted Zhang Yuanwai and Zhang Qi's dowry, so the two of us knew that we would be separated if we continued like this, so we thought about elopement!"

"What about the corpse?" Bao Zheng continued to ask.

Xue Kai paused for a while, rubbed his flushed face, and said, "Yuanyuan and I discovered the corpse three days ago. After we were about to elope, we thought of a way to let Wang Yuanyuan's mother Mrs. Wang didn't go looking for us, so we transported the body to Yuanyuan's home and changed into Yuanyuan's clothes. If Mrs. Wang found out that the corpse was not her daughter but was wearing her daughter's clothes, she would be very scared She didn't dare to say anything, so after she finished disposing of the corpse, she wouldn't dare to send someone to find us!"

The matter is more or less clear, but there is still something unclear, so Bao Zheng continued to ask: "Where did you find that corpse!"

Xue Kai hesitated for a while, and said: "It's the place where Yuanyuan and I had a tryst. It's a forest in the west of Tianchang County. We found a dead body in that place. We were also very scared at the time and considered whether to report to the police, but When we thought about changing the body, we temporarily hid the body, because it was cold, so the body was well preserved!"

Bao Zheng and Hua Lang also knew about the woods that Xue Kai mentioned, but they didn't understand how Zhu Ruzi died in that place, where few people usually go there.

After asking Xue Kai, Bao Zheng didn't care about the night, and ordered inside: "Take us to the place you mentioned!"

Xue Kai didn't dare to say much, so he had to lead Hualang and Bao Zheng to Shushu in the west.

At this time, the woods were cold and windy, and the snowflakes on the trees were scattered by the wind, and fell to the coolness of the neck. The group of them came to the woods, and Xue Kai pointed to a place not far ahead. , Bao Zheng, Hwarang and others hurried over.

But when they walked over, they found that there were many footprints in that place, and someone had visited this place not long ago.

The snow has already melted a lot, so the footprints are not very complete, but even if they are incomplete, it can be seen that the footprints are the footprints of a man. The man is looking around, and the snow has been scraped off in several places. He seemed to be looking for something.

What was the man looking for, did he find it.

Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others looked at the footprints and the snow on the ground, frowning. At this time, Hua Lang suddenly greeted Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan: "The corpse you found here!"

Xue Kai nodded again and again: "Yes, this is the place!"

"Then after you found the corpse, where did you hide the corpse, and did you ever find anything on the corpse!"

Xue Kai was a little timid, but he still said: "We didn't find anything on the corpse. We were very nervous at the time. We dared to pick up the corpse randomly, so we just dragged the corpse to a hiding place in front!"

Hwarang asked Xue Kai to lead him to the place where the corpse was hidden. It was a depression. If he hadn't approached it, he wouldn't have noticed it. At this time, there was still a lot of snow in the depression, and the dead grass around him was sticking out.

Hwarang jumped into the depression, rummaged through the snow, and finally stood up excitedly, then looked at Bao Zhengyin Wucuo and the others and said, "Look, it's a ring! "

Everyone looked and saw that it was indeed a ring. At this time, the ring was still covered with snow, and a drop fell to the ground. This ring was carved from white jade, which was very smooth and must be very valuable. But in such a place, How could there be this ring?

Could it be the murderer's, he was accidentally dropped by Zhu Ruzi when he killed Zhu Ruzi, and then when the murderer carried the body here, he was thrown here.

And those footprints came here after the murderer found out that the ring was missing, but he didn't know that the body had been moved, so he didn't find it.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this ring belonged to Zhu Ruzi, who was thrown here after she was killed, and after the murder, the murderer felt that the ring was worth a lot of money, so he came back to look for it, but he came It was too late, the body was hidden by Xue Kai and Wang Yuanyuan one step earlier.

But to prove this point, we must wait for Zhu Sheng to come to be sure.
