Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 474 Died strangely.

The atmosphere in the backyard was a little weird, making people feel palpitations.

Bao Zheng led Hua Lang and the others into the room of the deceased, and said: "I have asked those jugglers, and they said they could not open the door when they knocked, so they knocked open the door, but after entering the room, they found their companions Lying in bed, but dead."

Hwarang glanced at the latch, and said, "So it's a murder in the secret room?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "That's right, I have roughly examined the corpse, and it seems that he died of poisoning."

"Did you get poisoned by eating something last night?"

Bao Zheng shook his head: "I also thought of this, so I asked the deceased's companions, and they said that they ate and drank the same thing last night, so if there was poison in the food, they should also be poisoned."

"Did the deceased eat supper?"

"No, because the dinner was very rich, so they didn't eat supper, and his companions said that they didn't hear anyone entering the backyard at night."

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, Hua Lang felt that this case was really strange. He walked to the bedside and looked at the deceased. His hair was sparse on the top of his head, which should be caused by frequent potting. The deceased was about 30 years old. Maybe younger, how could such a person die in the secret room, and died of poisoning?

Hwarang checked carefully, and found that the deceased was indeed poisoned, and there was no trauma to the whole body, but Hwarang shook his head slightly after checking here, he thought it was unlikely, since it was not food poisoning, it must be poisoned by other reasons Yes, it must be that his inspection was not thorough enough.

At this time, Hwarang took off the clothes of the deceased, and then went to investigate one by one, and finally found clues in the neck area. It may be because the deceased was dead and lacked moisture. The skin of the deceased was slightly tinged. At this time, the head of a silver needle gradually appeared on the neck of the deceased. The silver needle was very thin, and it would not bleed well even if it was stuck into the skin. Hwa Lang pulled out the silver needle and found that the silver needle had become Hei, obviously, someone stabbed the man's neck with a poisonous silver needle, and finally caused the murderer to be poisoned and died.

It's just that this is a secret room, it's impossible for someone to come in and stab the dead man's neck with a silver needle, and the companion of the dead man said that no outsider has ever entered.

Hwarang put the silver needle on the plate he had already prepared, and then got up to look around. He felt that the deceased could not have poisoned himself. Someone must have entered the room, killed him and then escaped. Of course, This is a secret room, but if there is a small hole for people to turn around, everything will make sense.

The reason why Hwarang thinks this way is because he has seen the skills of these people the night before yesterday. One of them has a body like a snake. He suspects that as long as there is a small hole the size of a fist, he can slip through it.

Moreover, the person who was able to insert the silver needle into the neck of the deceased must be someone familiar to the deceased. Maybe the deceased often had a pelvis and neck pain, so he asked his companion to help him pinch it. At this time, his companion suddenly killed him.

There was only one window in the room, but it was closed from the inside, and there were no signs of mechanism in the window, so it was impossible for the murderer to escape through the window. On the side of the room, there was a hole the size of a neck, which most people would It is impossible to get in at all, but it is possible for a juggler to get in.

Hwarang looked at Dong Cheng who was trembling by the side and asked, "Which hole is for?"

Dong Cheng didn't quite understand it at first, but when he saw what Hwarang was pointing at, he quickly replied: "Originally, a piece of wood was to be placed as a beam, but later the beam changed direction, and the hole was left behind." .”

Hwarang nodded slightly. There is indeed a beam in this room, but it is perpendicular to which hole.

Seeing this, Hwarang had to doubt the companions of the deceased. He let those people in and asked them their names respectively. The one whose body was as soft as a snake was called Wu Gu, and the one who walked the rope was called Wu Gu. Lin Qing, two brothers with astonishing arm strength and determination, the eldest brother is called Liang Tian, ​​and the second brother is called Liang Dou. They are both very tall.

After knowing the names of these people, Hua Lang looked at Wu Gu and asked, "Did you come to this room last night?"

Wu Gu looked very thin, shook his head and said: "No, after dinner, I went back to my room to rest, after all, I was going to perform today!"

Hwarang smiled lightly, then pointed to the hole in the wall and asked, "Can you get out from here?"

At this time, Wu Gu understood what Hua Lang meant. He was a little annoyed, and said, "I suspect that I killed our own companion?"

Hwarang shrugged and said, "Based on the current situation, only you can escape after killing someone."

Wu Gu was even more angry, and said angrily: "The five of us have been together for more than ten years, and the relationship has always been very good. Why should I kill my companion? If we kill him, how can we make money as a performer in the Jianghu?"

This is indeed a difficult problem. These people have no motive to kill their companions. They travel the rivers and lakes relying on each other's skills. If there is one less person, they must earn much less money.

How could anyone be willing to pay a high price for a unique skill alone?

But now the only possibility is this Wu bone, maybe there is a motive in it, but he didn't think of it.

Hwarang frowned. If there was a gap between the five of them, would such a thing happen? But what kind of gap can happen between them? We are all people who go to the rivers and lakes to make a living. Shouldn't they help each other when they are away from home? of it?

Hwarang can't figure it out, but he feels that these people are very suspicious and cannot be let go.

Dong Yuanwai waited for the result with a sad face, but the result was not as he wished. After all, everything was just speculation. To prove that there is a murderer among these people, one must have evidence.

Wu Gu still looked angry, as if he couldn't accept being insulted like this.

Mrs. Dong's birthday banquet could not be held, and the activities of these jugglers were also restricted. Bao Zheng stipulated that the remaining four people were not allowed to leave Dong's mansion, and he also sent two yamen servants in the backyard. Waiting at the door made Dong Yuanwai a little embarrassed, but the murder happened in his house, and he had no choice but to accept it in the end.

There seemed to be no clues, so Hwarang casually asked about the family backgrounds of the remaining four people, and then took them away.

There is nothing to say about the family background of the four. The four are orphans. They used to perform on the street, but later they gathered together and set up an acrobatic class for performances.
