Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 313 The wife who died in someone else's house.

After arriving at the murder scene, Hwarang put aside the matter of keeping the dog for the time being.

The scene of the murder was a dilapidated house with no buildings around it. At this time, a group of government servants were guarding the outside. Bao Zheng and Yuan Ru were inside to confirm the identity of the deceased. Weeping and mourning sounds, from which we can know that the deceased is indeed Mrs. Yuan.

After entering the dilapidated house, Bao Zheng immediately said: "It's Mrs. Yuan, I've asked Yuan Ru to confirm, now please brother Hua for an autopsy!"

After the yamen servants took Yuan Ru away, Hua Lang came to the corpse. This was a somewhat rich woman. Although her corpse smelled rancid, one could tell her charm from her face. After some inspection, Hwarang found that Mrs. Yuan had thirteen stab wounds, two of which were fatal, and the remaining nine were obviously repaired by the murderer to vent his anger after Mrs. Yuan died.

In addition, Mrs. Yuan's clothes are messy, and it is very likely that she was insulted by the murderer before she died.

The cause of death was easy to ascertain, but Hua Lang felt a little puzzled after looking at it carefully. How could Mrs. Yuan die in this place? Where is the owner of this place, Tong Xiucai?

Could it be that Tong Xiucai was the murderer, who ran away after the murder?

Hua Lang frowned, walked out of the broken house, then looked at the farmer who reported the crime and asked, "Who is the owner of this house, Tong Xiucai?"

The farmer is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although his body is thin, he is quite strong. When he saw Hwarang asking, he quickly replied: "Tong Xiucai is called Tong Yu. He is the only scholar here. He is usually very lonely. He doesn't associate with us mountain folks, but he is only a scholar, he has never been promoted, and his official career is difficult, so he still lives in this place, and for these reasons, we don't know his whereabouts."

After hearing what the farmer said, Hua Lang nodded slightly, and then asked the farmer to describe Tong Yu's appearance, and Gongsun Ce drew it for him, and then sent someone to track down Tong Yu's whereabouts.

Besides, Hua Lang called Yuan Ru again and asked, "Do you know this Tong Yu, or have you met this person?"

Yuan Ru shook his head and said, "Besides me as a leisure worker, I really don't recognize this down-and-out scholar there."

"Where's your wife?"

"Although my wife likes to wander around, I've never heard her talk about it, and I guess I shouldn't know this down-and-out scholar."

Everyone thought this way, Yin Wucuo said: "If this is the case, then it must be Mrs. Yuan and the maid who were playing by the stream, and then met this Tong Yu. Tong Yu saw two weak girls, and they were very pretty. , So he became lustful, first strangled the maid Xiaomei and threw it into the creek, then kidnapped Mrs. Yuan to her home to do good deeds, maybe Mrs. Yuan would not follow, or maybe it was after Tong Yu did that. , felt that it would be a disaster to keep Mrs. Yuan, so she brutally killed her."

When Yin Wucuo talked about this, he mentioned Madam Yuan being insulted by Tong Yu many times, so that Yuan Ru's face was extremely ugly, but because everyone was analyzing the case, he didn't dare to have any opinions.

After Yin Wucuo said this, he cast his eyes on Hua Lang, who touched his lips in thought, his head nodded slightly, which made Yin Wucuo a lot of excited.

After some discussion, everyone felt that finding Tong Yu first was the key.

The matter of finding someone can be left to Bao Zheng, so after bringing Mrs. Yuan's body back to the county government, they can only wait for news at the county government.

Because of this incident, Yuan Ru seemed depressed and sad. He asked Bao Zheng many times to let him take his wife's body back for burial. In the past, this would not have been a problem. After all, the body had already been inspected and there was nothing left to inspect , but now Fu Wei and Zhang Gonggong are here, and according to court rules, the corpse cannot be buried until the murderer is found out. In order not to leave any excuses for these two people, Bao Zheng had no choice but to refuse Yuan Ru requested.

However, because it was midsummer, the corpse rotted quickly. In order to avoid the spread of this stench, Hwarang used some necessary methods to treat the corpse to prevent the corpse from decomposing too quickly.

After the arrest warrant was issued, a day passed, but there was no news about Tong Yu.

Fu Wei and Eunuch Zhang pressed even harder. Bao Zheng walked up and down in the living room of the county government office, feeling that his impatience was about to come out of his throat.

Seeing Bao Zheng like this, Hwarang felt that it was not good to just wait for the news, he had to go out to look for it too, so after telling Bao Zheng what he thought, he and Wen Meng and others braved the heat and came to the street, and passed After inquiring, I learned that Tong Yu was often with those people.

Because Tong Yu is a scholar, the people who often stay with him are also a group of scholars. Some of these scholars are obsessed with fame, but they have never been able to pass the exam.

They have all heard of the name Hua Langcai before. After all, the two lyrics of late spring are still being sung in the music workshop. Some people who have been to the capital said that many brothels in the capital are sung by women. The author of this word is even more admired.

Hwarang had heard such rumors before, but he didn't tell the truth, and now he came to see these scholars just to ask questions. Hide something.

Hua Lang immediately asked: "You guys know Tong Yu well, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Everyone looked at each other, and the last person got up and said, "Young Master Hua asked, we just said it. It's not that we said bad things about Tong Yu. He is indeed a bit strange. The poems are well written, but most of them are obscene words, and they go In a place like a brothel, we scholars are all looking for a confidante, but he is really venting."

After this person finished speaking, the other person quickly followed suit: "That's right, we recognize that he is lustful, and apart from his lustful faults, he is also somewhat cruel. His cruelty is something we can't agree with. Every time we meet He felt flustered."

The words of these scholars fully proved that Tong Yu might kill someone because of lust, but Hwarang wanted to know more, so he continued to ask: "Then where does he often go?"

These scholars thought for a while, and said: "I have visited many places, but it may be because of his lust and cruelty, but he just likes to go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha. We often laugh that he is going to ask Buddha for forgiveness. But when we say that about him, he doesn’t refute, he always goes there every few days, and every time he comes back, he’s extremely excited.”

After hearing this, Hwarang quickly asked, "Which temple does he often go to?"

"Longyin Temple!"
