Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 7 A man who discovers a secret.

The atmosphere seemed awkward, and after a long time, Bao Zheng smiled lightly and said, "Now that Brother Tian Si and Brother Tian have been imprisoned, how Brother Hua plans to solve this murder case!"

Hualang thought for a while, and said: "Tian Laoliu is just a janitor and a watchman. Such a person does not have much money on him, and he is unlikely to pose a threat to anyone. What did the murderer kill him for? I think we should go first." Let's go to Tian Laoliu's house to check and see if we can find some clues!"

After making such a decision, Bao Zheng immediately rushed to Tian Lao Liu's place together with Hua Lang and others.

It was a small courtyard with three houses, all of which were dilapidated. At this time, the snow in the courtyard had not been cleared. A few sparrows were looking for food in the snow. After hearing the sound of footsteps, they spread their wings. Flying onto Wuchang, her small eyes rolled around, fearing that danger would suddenly come.

Pushing open the snow-covered door, Hwarang led the crowd into the small courtyard. At this time, there were many footprints in the small courtyard, but they were all left by the two brothers Tian Si. Because of the snow last night, the murderer's footprints Already gone.

The wind was a bit chilly, the surroundings were silent, and there were no clues to be found in the courtyard. Hualang went straight into Tian Laoliu's room, and saw that Tian Laoliu's room was a bit dilapidated, with a small bed standing in the corner, and a small square table beside the bed. At this time, there was a teacup on the square table, and there was nothing else. There were some messy clothes piled up on the boat. I don't know if it was Tian Laoliu who messed up, or the murderer was looking for something to mess up.

With a panoramic view of the scene inside the house, Hwarang and the others kept searching the house, but they didn't find anything valuable or suspicious.

Hwarang sat on Tian Laoliu's bed, looked up from time to time, and touched the pillow from time to time. When everyone was a little puzzled, Hwarang suddenly got up and stood on the square table beside the bed. The square table was a little unstable. Shaking, as if it might collapse at any moment, Hwarang asked someone to support the table, and he stretched out his hand to feel it on the not very high beam. something.

When Hwarang stretched out his hand, everyone was a little surprised. Hwarang's hand was full of dust, but in his hand, he was holding a plum blossom jade pendant, but the plum blossom was blood-red and looked very ugly. It is eye-catching.

After washing with water, everyone could see the plum blossoms clearly. It wasn't that the plum blossoms were blood-red, but the pale pink plum blossoms seemed to be completely stained with blood, as if the blood had entered the jade pendant.

A blood jade like this, carved so exquisitely, is definitely not something that someone like Tian Laoliu can have. Everyone looked at Hua Lang, wondering how he found this jade pendant, and how he guessed this jade pendant.

Hualang saw everyone like this, so he laughed and said: "If a person like Tian Laoliu hides something, where will he put it, he must be able to see it at any time, if he is lying on the bed, that place can be seen or If you touch it, except for the beam, it is under the pillow. The things hidden under the pillow are too common and easy to be found, so the possibility of hiding on the beam is very high. Now I found it on the beam. This jade pendant, I think Tian Lao Liu's death has a lot to do with this jade pendant!"

At this time, everyone has somewhat understood that Tian Laoliu got this blood plum blossom jade from somewhere, and he hid it when he saw it was a treasure, but there was a story behind this blood plum blossom jade, so Tian Laoliu was killed because of it.

Of course, another situation cannot be ruled out, that is, the person who killed Tian Laoliu was a member of Lu Yuan's family. Tian Laoliu worked as a guard in Lu's house and was on duty at night, so he must know that many things in Lu's house would not happen during the day. The secrets that may happen, once a person knows too much, may lead to death, and this blood plum blossom jade may be obtained by Tian Laoliu from someone from the Lu family under the threat of the secrets he knows. .

In this way, they can start with the Lu family.

After leaving Tian Laoliu's house, Bao Zheng immediately sent someone to investigate the situation of Lu's house, and the group of them found a random inn to have lunch. After a whole morning, they were really hungry.

It's not easy to find an open inn on the first day of the new year. Fortunately, there are always people who don't care about rest in order to make money, so after walking through a few, they really found an open inn.

At this time, there were not too few people in the inn, but not too many. After Hua Lang and the others went in, they ordered a few dishes and a few soups. After drinking like this, the time for a stick of incense had passed.

Then, they went back to the county office.

When they returned to the county government office, the yamen servant who inquired about the situation of the Lu family had already rushed back, so the yamen servant said: "The Lu family is a big family, and they are quite rich in our Tianchang County. The two sons are called Lu Fu and Lu Gui respectively, Lu Youqian is extremely stingy, but his two sons spend money like water, they just know how to play without doing their jobs all day long, so the Lu residence is relatively chaotic!"

After listening to the yamen servant's words, Bao Zheng pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, it is necessary for us to invite Lu Yuanwai to the county yamen!"

The yamen servant got the order to invite Lu Youqian soon.

Not long after, a thin middle-aged man entered the county government office. After arriving at the county government office, he first saluted Bao Zheng, and then asked, "I don't know why Lord Bao called Xiaomin here!"

Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Youqian, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and then said: "I invite Mr. Lu to come out, but I just want to tell you one thing. Tian Laoliu, the gatekeeper of your house, was murdered last night!"

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Lu Youqian didn't react much, he just replied nonchalantly: "Since that's the case, I will hire another person after the New Year, so why bother Mr. Bao with this matter!"

Hearing Lu Youqian's words, Bao Zheng was furious immediately, and said angrily: "You bastard, is my lord telling you to change a guard? Didn't you hear what my lord said clearly? My lord said that Tian Lao Liu was killed by someone murdered!"

Lu Youqian did not expect Bao Zheng to be so angry all of a sudden. He nodded repeatedly to admit his mistake, and then said: "My lord, please calm down, but my villain understands. It's just that Tian Lao Liu died in his own home, just like Lu's." It's nothing to do with it, I don't know what adults are talking about with little ones!"

Bao Zheng's anger subsided a little, and he continued: "My lord, let me ask you, what kind of person is Tian Laoliu, and whether he is safe to work in your house!"

Seeing the question, Lu Youqian quickly replied: "Responding to Mr. Bao's words, Tian Lao Liu is old and doesn't usually cause trouble. He is very peaceful in the mansion."
