Da Song Private Investigator

Guan Erye Guan Yu's mansion is very big, at least bigger than Hua Lang and Bao Zheng imagined.

When they followed Wei Huai, the magistrate of Jinling, to Guangfu, there was already a lot of crying and shouting in the mansion, and the ones crying the most were two men and a young woman.

Of those two men, one had a white face and the other had a big beard. Hua Lang and Bao Zheng could almost guess who this man was with just one glance. They heard from the waiter in the only inn that Guan Er Ye Guanyu has an elder brother and a third younger brother, the elder brother is called Liu Bei, and the third brother is called Zhang Fei, and these two men are probably Liu Bei and Zhang Fei.

Because Guan Yu was murdered, so now his body is still in the study, but because it is already summer, the body is not easy to keep for a long time, so according to Liu Bei's order, the servants of the Guan family have set up a mourning hall in the living room , The coffin has already been bought early in the morning.

After Hualang and others entered the courtyard, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei hurriedly greeted them. After Wei Huai introduced Bao Zheng and Hua Lang to Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, he immediately ordered: "Uncle Liu and Third Master Zhang Fei!" , lead us to the murder scene to take a look."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were quite senior in Jinling, so Wei Huai was very polite to them. At this time, although Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were very sad, they had to nod their heads in agreement.

After all the people came to the study room, they saw a headless corpse lying on the table. There was nothing above the neck of the corpse, so at a glance, they could only see red blood, which was very scary, but because it was summer, The blood attracted many flies, and the corpse covered with flies gave people a feeling of wanting to retch.

Wei Huai seemed to have rarely seen such a scene, so when he saw it, he immediately turned around and rushed out. He vomited outside for a long time, and he felt that he was no longer so sick, so he entered the study, and when he entered the study At that time, Hwarang had already begun to examine the corpse.

Hwarang found that the wound on the neck of the corpse was very unstable, as if it was chopped off with a sharp weapon after killing someone, but it is certain that the person who cut off the head was not an expert, otherwise the wound would not appear Not stable traces anymore.

After examining the corpse, Hwarang was sure that the deceased should have been killed after midnight last night. There was no sign of poisoning on the top and bottom of the corpse, and there were no other external wounds on the only remaining corpse, so the wound should be on the missing head. superior.

After such an inspection, Hua Lang informed everyone of the result. After Bao Zheng listened, he said, "It's really strange. Why did the murderer take the head away after killing someone!"

At this time, Gongsun Ce looked at the corpse and said, "This corpse has no head. Who can be sure that it must be Guan Yu, the second master. Could it be that Guan Yu is not dead and this corpse is just a fake?"

It's not that Hwarang and the others have encountered this kind of thing before. For example, in a case that Hwarang and the others handled in order to avenge his mother, he made himself a dead person for a certain purpose. This method If Murong Tong can think of it, then others must also be able to think of it, not to mention that when Hua Lang and the others saw Guan Erye Guan Yu at the only inn that day, he looked really flustered, did he meet some kind of enemy? , and in order to avoid his enemies, he had to find a dead body to pretend to be dead?

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, everyone couldn't help looking at Guan Erye Guan Yu. Although the head of the deceased could not be seen now, his body shape was not much different from what they saw at the only inn that day, and the slightly raised abdomen was similar to theirs. It's the same as what I've seen before.

While everyone was scrutinizing the corpse, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei who were standing aside quickly glanced at each other, and then Liu Bei quickly said: "This is the corpse of my second brother, without a doubt, the three of us are brothers." , can't we even distinguish the corpse of our second brother?"

After Liu Bei finished speaking, Zhang Fei also echoed: "Yes, my second brother likes food very much, and his stomach is the most powerful proof."

Most of the time, some performances really can't fool the closest people. Hua Lang looked at the corpse for a long time, finally nodded slightly, turned to look at Liu Bei and the others, and asked, "Who was the first to discover Guan Yu's corpse?"

Just as Hualang finished asking, a young woman who had been standing by the side came out. She looked sad, and first said a blessing to everyone, and then said: "It's me, I am the master's concubine, and last night the master He said he had something to do in the study, so he let me go to bed alone, but I woke up after dawn today, and I didn't see the master back to the bedroom to rest. Master's body, and...and no head, I was terrified in my heart, I quickly sent people to call the uncle and the third master, and then sent people to the government office to report the case."

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei nodded quickly to prove that this was indeed the case.

Hua Lang frowned slightly, looked at the thin waist and asked, "After you saw the corpse for the first time, you thought it was your master Guan Yu?"

Slender waist nodded: "Master is the only concubine like me, and I don't know the best about his body shape and habits."

Hua Lang pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Guan Yu came to the study last night, did he say what he was going to do?"

Slender waist shook his head: "This master didn't say anything, and his study room is usually never allowed to enter, even if I come in, I have to ask for his permission."

"Were there any visitors at home last night?"

Slender waist hesitated a little, then shook his head and said, "No!"

"Has anyone moved anything in the room since the body was discovered?"

"No, because the master's head was missing, so I was very worried. After sending someone to call the uncle and the third master, I ordered people to seal off the scene."

Hwarang seemed very satisfied with the thin waist, and after he nodded slightly, he looked at the furnishings in the study, and saw a jug of wine and a wine glass on the table and chairs in the study. Dry, the fragrance of wine can still be smelled in the flagon, and at the mouth of the flagon, there is a fly, that fly seems not afraid of people, buzzing.

The study room looked a little messy, and many books on the bookshelf by the wall were lost on the floor. Hwarang picked up a few books and found that they were very popular books such as "Zuo Zhuan" and "Spring and Autumn". Of course, there was another book among them. The anthology of Ci from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties includes records of the Ci written by famous Ci poets in this period, such as Wen Tingyun’s poems about Bodhisattva Man. Of course, there must be many Ci poems written by Li Yu, the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's just that Li Yu's words recorded in this collection of words are mostly words written before the collapse of the Southern Tang Dynasty. These words are mostly about eroticism and leisure, and their literary value is not very high. However, for the study of Li Yu's life when he was emperor, But extremely helpful.
