Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 211 An anecdote.

After Hua Lang said this, he immediately observed Lu Gui's expression, and after hearing what Hua Lang said, Lu Gui immediately became furious, and said: "This Tian Lao Liu, it's a waste of our Lu family to take care of him. It's abhorrent to steal my jade pendant in the matter of calling the dog to steal!"

Lu Gui's anger didn't seem to be feigned. Seeing this, Bao Zheng and others didn't know what to say for a while. If this blood plum blossom jade really belonged to Lu's mansion, then Tian Lao Liu's killing must be related to Lu's mansion. The secrecy has something to do with it.

At this time, Hua Lang smiled lightly: "Since Mr. Lu said that this jade pendant belongs to your Lu Mansion, it's easy to handle, you can go back!"

Lu Gui was surprised for a moment, and quickly said: "This thing belongs to my Lu Manor, shouldn't it be returned to the original owner!"

The corners of Hualang's mouth raised slightly, and he said, "This is the evidence of the murder case. It can be dealt with according to the circumstances after the case is over. You should go back first!"

Lu Gui was a little unhappy, but he had no choice but to go back.

But after Lu Gui left, Hua Lang hurriedly said to Bao Zheng: "Brother Bao, it seems that there is indeed something shady in Lu's residence, we must send someone to investigate it!"

Bao Zheng nodded slightly: "I'll send someone to investigate right away to see if there is anything special happening in Lu's residence, or if there have been any deaths in recent years!"

Although it is a little troublesome to investigate the old things, it is not without trace, so that evening, those yamen servants hurried back to the county yamen. After the yamen servants rushed back, they immediately reported: "Master, we have investigated clearly A year ago, there was a servant girl Xiaoyu in the Lu Manor who hanged herself to death!"

When everyone heard this, although they were a little excited, they were also a little embarrassed. How should they investigate what happened a year ago.

Everyone turned their attention to Hwarang. Hwarang can do autopsy and bone testing, so why not let him examine Xiaoyu's body.

Hwarang saw everyone like this, so he had to say: "In this case, let's open the coffin for an autopsy!"

Everyone was excited, but they had to obtain the consent of Xiaoyu's family before opening the coffin for autopsy, so they went to Xiaoyu's house, and Hua Lang and Bao Zheng also wanted to ask them something.

It was a small village outside the city, surrounded by a large area of ​​trees. At this time, the winter snow had not yet melted, and a gust of wind blew, and pieces of snow fell from the trees. It was so scary. There was a line of footprints on the forest path, footprints It wasn't very big, it looked like a woman's footprints, and they followed the footprints to Xiaoyu's house.

The courtyard is silent, the snow has been swept away in front of the door, and a few old hens are pecking in the courtyard, making clucking sounds from time to time. There is a woman in the room who is mending her clothes at this time. She is already very old, with the back of her hand Hengqiu's eyesight is not very good, and he hasn't gotten through the needle for a long time.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt a sense of grief in their hearts. Bao Zheng couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the door a few times, and asked, "Is anyone there?"

The woman raised her head and saw Bao Zheng's dark face, she burst into tears and said, "You are Master Bao!"

Bao Zheng and others entered the courtyard, nodded and said, "I am Bao Zheng!"

As soon as Bao Zheng finished speaking, the old woman knelt down, and Bao Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to support her, saying: "The old woman does not need to perform such a grand ceremony, we are here today to inquire about something!"

The old lady nodded slightly, but she didn't know what Bao Zheng was going to ask.

Everyone sat down in the house, and then Bao Zheng said: "We suspect that your daughter Xiaoyu died strangely, so we want to open the coffin for an autopsy. I don't know if the old lady agrees!"

The old woman's tears hadn't dried yet, and after hearing Bao Zheng's words, she burst into tears and said, "Lord Bao, I knew you were an upright official, and I knew my daughter Xiaoyu would not commit suicide, someone must have forced her , but I am an old woman, I am really powerless to sue!"

Everyone was a little moved when they heard this, but at this time, the old woman continued: "As long as Mr. Bao can give the little girl justice, I agree to open the coffin for an autopsy!"

The discussion about opening the coffin for autopsy did not encounter much obstruction, which was very fortunate for everyone. Then, Hua Lang looked at the old woman and asked: "Your daughter Xiaoyu is working in the Lu Mansion. Has the matter of returning home been related to the matter?" You said something about the Lu Mansion!"

The old woman shook her head: "My daughter is very stubborn. She never told me when she was wronged outside, but a few days before her death, she came back and told me that she didn't want to work in the Lu Mansion. Yes, I asked her why, but she didn't answer. In the end, I was so anxious that I forced her to ask, so she ran out, alas, I really regret it, if I had agreed to her at that time, there would be nothing to do later!"

Everyone sighed, but there was nothing they could do. In this world, where is the medicine for regret?

However, although the old woman talked about the grief, Hwarang and the others were unable to experience it personally. After all, the joys and sorrows in a person's life are all their own, and others are always just spectators.

Although the old woman agreed to let Bao Zheng and the others open the coffin for an autopsy, it was too late for an autopsy, so everything had to wait until tomorrow, so they rushed back to the county government for the time being.

Back at the county government office, Bao Zheng and the others interrogated Lu Fu. They wanted to learn something about Xiaoyu from Lu Fu, but when Lu Fu heard Bao Zheng's question about Xiaoyu, he couldn't say anything, just said that Xiaoyu He died by hanging, and he didn't know anything else.

Hua Lang glanced at Lu Fu, and said coldly: "Then you should know why Xiaoyu hanged himself!"

Lu Fu looked at Hwarang, his eyes looked very strange, after a long time, he shook his head: "I don't know!"

He couldn't ask anything from Lu Fu, which made Bao Zheng very angry. He wanted to beat him to vent his anger, but he felt that the reason was unreasonable, so he had to let the jailer take him into the prison.

In the middle of the night, there was a crescent moon in the sky, and the bright moonlight looked down on the earth, making everyone feel a little cold.

All the lights on the street had been turned off, and it was already late when Hwarang and the others left the county government office.

It was even colder in the prison, and several prisoners hugged each other to keep warm, swearing a few times from time to time, Lu Fu curled up in the corner of the prison alone, trembling all over, but there was hatred in his eyes, but although the hatred was strong, it was also It dissipated quickly, and when his eyes had nothing to do with it, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh, as if he had thought of something, but he didn't seem to think about anything at all.

At this time, the lights in Lu Mansion were still on. A thin old man walked up and down in his house, and every step he took was a sigh. His son Lu Gui stood aside, but somewhat disdainful, just like this old man. What he is worried about has nothing to do with him, and what he cares about is only the property of this family,
