Da Song Private Investigator

Bao Zheng's words made Zheng Wang Chai Rongbing very angry, so after he snorted coldly, he led people up to the second floor.

After Zheng Wang Chai Rongbing left, Bao Zheng looked at Yu Haidao: "As the imperial court official, the county magistrate Yu must not bend the law to anyone for personal gain in the murder case. Now start the investigation, and you can ask us people as much as you like."

After Bao Zheng finished speaking, Yu Hai naturally nodded again and again, but although he nodded, he didn't dare to really doubt Bao Zheng and the others, so after a few symbolic questions to Bao Zheng and Hua Lang, he focused on the people in the inn.

When Yu Hailai came, he brought Wu Zuo with him, and after examining him, he stood up and said, "The deceased was bleeding from the seven orifices, the blood was black, there were small thorns on his tongue, his lips were broken, his ears were swollen, his belly was swollen, and his anus was swollen. Cracked, ten fingers black and white, probably died of poisoning, and possibly arsenic poisoning.”

After listening to Wu Zuo's words, Hwarang quickly asked, "Are there no other wounds on your body?"

Wu Zuo nodded: "There is no other trauma, it should be poisoned."

Hwarang nodded, and continued to ask: "How long does it take for the poison of arsenic to take effect?"

Wu Zuo shook his head and said: "The poison of arsenic is very powerful. As long as you ingest a little, it will attack immediately, but you will not die immediately. It may take you to vomit for several hours before you die, but..." Wu Zuo stopped suddenly when he said this. It came down, and everyone naturally understood what was going on.

Everyone saw the innkeeper before going to bed last night. He was not unusual at the time, so the innkeeper could not have been poisoned by arsenic, but the reaction on the innkeeper was undoubtedly a sign of arsenic poisoning. Stop talking.

Seeing that Wu Zuo was silent, Hwarang only smiled faintly, then looked at the clerk in the inn and the crying woman and asked, "What's the name of the deceased?"

At this time, the weeping woman stood up and said, "My husband's name is Xue Ju."

Hua Lang nodded, and asked again: "Madam Xue, who discovered the corpse first?"

Mrs. Xue looked at a guy, who quickly stood up and said: "Speaking of adults, it's a kid. I got up early this morning and was going to prepare breakfast for you all, but when I got here, I saw the master's body. I yelled out in fright, and then my wife and the other guys ran out."

After listening to the man's words, Hwarang looked at Mrs. Xue and asked, "Wasn't Xue Ju at the inn yesterday?"

Mrs. Xue nodded, and said: "Because the adults gave a lot of money yesterday, my husband was very happy, so he went to drink with a group of his friends, and he never came back. I only heard the shouting. It was found that the husband was dead."

After Mrs. Xue finished speaking, Wu Zuo nodded again and again, and said: "Mrs. Xue should be right. There was a smell of alcohol in the mouth of the deceased, and there was a lot of vomit left on the clothes, which should be caused by drinking."

Hwarang glanced at the corpse through the crowd and found that things were indeed as Wu Zuo said.

Seeing that this was indeed the case, Hua Lang continued to ask: "Do you know who Xue Ju often drinks with?"

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, and said: "I don't know who it is, but it's always his group of friends. It should be easy to find out."

When Yu Hai heard this, he quickly flattered Bao Zheng, "I'm going to investigate who Xue Ju was drinking with last night." After speaking, Yu Hai quickly gave orders.

At this time, Hwarang asked again: "Does your husband have any enemies in normal times, or has anyone had a feud with him?"

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Of course there are, we have quite a few inns here in Fenghuangji, but the only one that can compare with our Juxian Inn is the Longteng Inn in the east, and because of this reason, Kong Long, the owner of Longteng Inn, often confronts us, but last night my husband was drinking with friends, so Kong Long probably wouldn't be there!"

Mrs. Xue said Kong Long's name, but defended him again, making Bao Zheng suspicious of her, but Bao Zheng didn't say it, he just wrote it down secretly, and he will talk about it after investigating Kong Long.

At this time, Hwarang looked at Wu Zuo and asked, "Can you determine the time of death?"

Wu Zuo nodded and said, "It should be around Haishi."

It was very late at Haishi, and Hwarang and others were already asleep at that time, so Hwarang looked at Mrs. Xue and asked, "What are you doing at Haishi?"

When Madam Xue saw Hua Lang asking herself this question, she suddenly became even more sad, and said, "I was already asleep at that time."

"Did you hear the knock at the door?"

Mrs. Xue shook her head and said: "No, our residence is in the backyard of the inn. I can't hear the guys who live in the side rooms on the first floor of the inn."

Afterwards, Hwarang asked the guys again, but the guys said that they were asleep at that time, and they didn't hear the knock on the door.

"Does Xue Ju have an inn key?"

Mrs. Xue nodded: "Of course there are. The door of the inn can be locked from the outside, as well as from the inside. Last night..." At this point, Mrs. Xue looked at the guy who found the corpse first and asked, "Ah Hu, you were the one who sent the master out last night, did you lock the door from the inside?"

Ahu nodded again and again, and said: "Yes Ma'am, I sent the master out, but it was getting dark at that time, I originally wanted to lock it from the inside, but the master said that he might not come back when, so I went out from the door." It's locked outside."

While listening to Ah Hu talking, Hwarang came to the entrance of the inn to have a look, only to find that there was a big lock with a key on the outside and a wooden bar on the inside. If Xue Ju locked the door from the outside last night, Then it made sense for him to enter the house.

And if this is the case, the murderer is unlikely to be someone in the inn, because no one heard the quarrel at that time, so the poison on Xue Ju should have been poisoned outside the inn. In the inn, he suddenly died of poison.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Xue Ju was poisoned and died outside, and the murderer quietly carried him to the inn, carried the body into the inn, and then left quietly.

Thinking of this, Hwarang suddenly asked Ah Hu: "When you found the body, did the door of the inn be bolted from the inside?"

Ah Hu rubbed his head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems to be bolted, what's wrong?"

Hwarang did not answer Ah Hu's question, but he ruled out the second possibility. If the door was bolted from the inside, then it is impossible for someone to bring Xue Ju's body back. He died suddenly of poisoning.
