Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 534 Tribute Jade Pendant.

On the way back to the posthouse, Bao Zheng seemed to have thought of something suddenly, so he said hastily: "I think that Du Quan must have discovered the murderer's murder, so he was killed, that is to say, he was silenced."

After listening to Bao Zheng's words, everyone felt that this was very possible.Because, if Du Quan was the murderer who killed Miss Ruyan, how could he be killed? Could it be that there were two murderers?And that person killed Du Quan for his own safety?

This is obviously impossible, why two people are needed to kill a Ruyan girl, then the only thing that can be explained is that Du Quan discovered the murderer's secret, and wanted to threaten the murderer with this, but was brutally killed by the murderer.

While everyone was saying these words, Hwarang said nothing.

After returning to the post house from the whip shop, they all stayed in the post house and didn't go there until dusk, when Duan Suxing came to visit.

At that time, there was a sunset glow in the sky, and the wind was blowing softly. This kind of scenery suddenly reminded Hwarang of spring in Jiangnan. He hadn't been back to Jiangnan for a long time.

Everyone sits down in the courtyard of the post house, and when the wind blows, the petals of the tree will float. Hwarang heard that Duan Suxing likes to plant flowers and trees, but he knows that Duan Suxing is not here to talk about flowers today.

Duan Suxing put the fish-shaped jade pendant on the table, and said directly: "I have made a clear investigation, this is a tribute jade pendant, it is included in the list of tributes in various places, but our Royal Duan family has never seen this jade pendant , it may have been taken away when the tribute was transported into the palace."

After hearing these words from Duan Suxing, Hwarang asked in surprise, "Can the tribute be taken away?"

Duan Suxing was helpless for a while, and said: "This is also a matter of no choice. Every year, tributes are sent from various places, except most of them are sent to the palace, and the rest are distributed by some officials. This is our tradition in Dali. It is to let these officials be satisfied and not think about corruption."

After hearing these words, Hwarang couldn't help but want to laugh. He had never heard of such a way to prevent officials from being corrupted. People are greedy people, and they can never be fed enough. The more they let them do this, the more they will eat. The more I don't know how to stop.

But at this moment, Hua Lang didn't care to think about it, he asked eagerly: "Then, His Royal Highness can investigate clearly, who got the fish-shaped jade pendant in the first place?"

Duan Suxing sighed, and said: "No one has shared this fish-shaped jade pendant. It stands to reason that such a precious thing should be sent to the palace, but this jade pendant was never sent to the palace, so I think it must be a tribute at that time. When it was delivered, someone tampered with it."

"So it means that someone used some means to take the fish-shaped jade pendant that should have been sent to the palace for himself?"

"That's right, that's true!"

After the two said this, Wen Meng was puzzled and said, "Since this fish-shaped jade pendant belongs to the palace, how could it fall into the hands of Miss Ruyan?"

The question Wen Meng asked was not difficult to answer. After she finished asking, Yin Wucuo hurriedly said, "It must be that official who went to Leya Building to have fun, and then gave it to Miss Ruyan."

At this time, Wen Yanbo shook his head again and again, and said: "It is true that the official who owns this jade pendant went to Leya Building, but I think it is unlikely that it was given as a gift. It should have been left in Miss Ruyan's room, otherwise Why does Miss Yan only dare to hide it, but not wear it?"

After Wen Yanbo finished speaking, the others turned around and said that it was extremely possible.

But at this time, Bao Zheng raised a question again, saying: "If it was lost, the official should know where it was left, why didn't he go to Leya Building to look for it, I think if he did, he would We will definitely be able to find Miss Ruyan."

After Hua Lang finished speaking, Wen Yanbo was speechless for a while, but at this time, Hua Lang smiled: "Brother Bao is right, but there is a slight discrepancy, that is, the official went to find Miss Ruyan, but he didn't I wanted to get back that jade pendant from Miss Ruyan, and she was threatened by her."

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Hua Lang, and at this time, Hua Lang looked at the crowd with a calm smile, and continued: "Miss Ruyan is a prostitute, and she must have come into contact with many people. There are also many things to see. When she got this fish-shaped jade pendant, she may have already known the origin of this jade pendant, or the official accidentally revealed the origin of the jade pendant. At that time, she felt that her future was suddenly brighter, and she could threaten the official with a jade pendant. In this way, the official had to support Ruyan until the girl Ruyan became the number one in Le Yalou. I think this is her The reason for the sudden change of temper, after all, if a person has a backer, his temper will be stronger."

After Hwarang explained this, everyone nodded in agreement, and at this time, they also understood why Miss Ruyan was killed. She threatened an official with a jade pendant, so that official must be full of hatred for her, and she must be looking for a chance Killing Ruyan, maybe that night he thought it was an opportunity, so he cast the whip of the turtle slave Du Quan and went to kill people, but Du Quan found out, and finally killed Du Quan again.

At this time, all the reasoning seemed to make sense, as if the matter was like this, and what they had to do was to find the owner of the fish-shaped jade pendant. This point was also thought of by Prince Duan Suxing even if Hwarang didn't mention it.

It’s just that when Duan Suxing said that the matter of finding the owner of the jade pendant was entrusted to him, Hwarang was not as happy as everyone imagined, just like Hwarang felt that even if he found the owner of the jade pendant, he would not know who the murderer was. of.

But no matter what, Duan Suxing still wants to find the owner of the jade pendant.

When Duan Suxing left the post house, the sun was already setting, and the wind blew in a faint coolness.

Hwarang sat in the courtyard and looked at the petal of the tree that he couldn't name, and smiled faintly. He felt that it was time for this case to end, because he had already understood a little bit, but other than that, he One more thing must be clarified, and that is the problem of the folding fan that Miss Huiqiong mentioned.

To find out about this matter, he has two methods, one is to get rid of the matter to Prince Duan Suxing and ask him to investigate the matter of the fan, the other is for Hwarang to ask Miss Huiqiong, but will she agree? Say, not necessarily.

When night fell and the late spring wind still died down, Hwarang turned and went back to his room. When he went back to the room, Wen Meng was reading a book. It was a collection of words. She read it with great interest, as if she really wanted to make a book. A woman with a poetic and bookish spirit in her belly.
