Da Song Private Investigator

After Hwarang returned to the government office, he explained what he had learned from his investigation, and then asked Yin Wucuo and Ouyang Xiu's men to investigate a few people, and said that the background and habits of these people should be investigated clearly. Only by investigating these people Only then would he be able to determine who the murderer was.

They didn't know the few people Hwarang said, but even so, they still followed what Hwarang said.

This kind of thing is very time-consuming. After the yamen servants went out to investigate, Wen Meng asked worriedly: "Can the murderer be found before midnight tomorrow?"

Facing Wen Meng's question, Hwarang nodded confidently: "If it was before, I'm afraid I didn't have this certainty, but now, I can definitely."

Everyone knows that Hwarang has never lied to them, and has never disappointed them, so when they heard Hwarang's words, they were very excited.

It's just that at night, the yamen servants didn't find out the news, so Hwarang saw that it was getting late, so he had to leave first.

When I left the government office, the street was already very deserted, and many people's houses had already turned off their lights.

The wind brought a cool feeling, and the night sky was dotted with a few sporadic stars.

Silent all night.

The next day, as soon as everyone woke up, the government office hurriedly sent someone to tell Hwarang that they had caught someone who wanted to steal the body last night.

When everyone heard the news, they couldn't understand, who would want to steal the corpse?

Could it be the murderer, who wanted to destroy the corpse so that Hwarang and the others could find no clues from the corpse?

But are there any clues on the body?

Everyone didn't care about breakfast, and rushed to the government office with the people who came.

When they came to the government office, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce were also there, and the reason why they were there was because Ouyang Xiu sent someone to call. Today is the deadline for Hwarang to solve the case. Bao Zheng and the others are Hwarang's friends , Ouyang Xiu felt it was necessary to call them here.

After everyone met, Ouyang Xiu immediately ordered someone to bring the man caught last night. When Hwarang and the others saw the man they caught, they were a little surprised, because he was dressed in rags and looked like a beggar. Somewhat different, he exudes a literary temperament, he is unlikely to be a real beggar, he should be regarded as a down-and-out scholar.

After the man came up, Ouyang Xiu said to Hua Lang and the others: "After I caught this thief last night, I asked all kinds of questions, but he didn't say a word. It really hurts people's brains. If he refuses to say anything today, The government will punish him."

What Ouyang Xiu said was half true and half false. If this person refused to confess today, he would really punish him. Of course, what he said just now was more of a threat.

It's just obvious that Ouyang Xiu's threat didn't work, that person looked like he was going to die, without any fear at all.

Hua Lang looked at this person carefully, and snorted coldly: "You came to the government office to steal the corpse in the middle of the night, you are not small, it seems that you are the murderer without a doubt!"

After Hwarang said this, the man first raised his head and stared at Hwarang, then lowered his head, as if he was too lazy to argue with Hwarang.

Seeing that his threats didn't work, Hwarang suddenly became suspicious. He had already identified the direction of the murderer. Now that such a person suddenly appeared, what role did he play in this case?

Now that he doesn't say a word, it's impossible for Hwarang to know what role he plays in the case, but how can he make him tell everything?

Hwarang looked at the person kneeling on the ground, then turned around and asked Ouyang Xiu: "Lord Ouyang, how did this person get arrested?"

Ouyang Xiu thought for a while, and said: "It was already late at night, and I heard a yamen servant exclaim in my sleep, saying that someone was carrying Lady Baihua's body and wanted to escape, so I got up and rushed out, how could I see this servant carrying Baihua's body The lady's body was surrounded by my men."

Hearing that the person in front of him was carrying the corpse of Lady Baihua, Hua Lang suddenly understood, and said, "You must be the one Lady Baihua has been waiting for, right?"

As soon as Hwarang said this, the man kneeling on the ground was shocked suddenly, stared at Hwarang and asked, "Do you know me?"

Hua Lang nodded slightly: "Miss Baihua once told me about you, but she waited for you for a long time, but you still refused to come to pick her up, and instead came to steal her body after she died?"

After hearing Hua Lang's words, the man in front of him suddenly collapsed, tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, he was a little choked up, and after so long, he said: "My name is Ling Hua, and Lady Bai Hua is a childhood sweetheart. , Later, I went out to do business with my family, and I have been there for many years. I originally wanted to come back and marry Mrs. Baihua after I made money, but the past few years I have been away have not been very smooth, and the business has also been ruined. I came back to look for Mrs. Baihua, and later I heard that Mrs. Baihua had entered the household registration of a brothel. I thought it would be even more difficult to marry her. How could I have so much money to redeem her body? Come back later."

After hearing what Ling Hua had said, everyone finally understood, but at this moment, why did he come back and steal the body of Lady Baihua?

"I didn't plan to go back to the capital, but a few days ago, I suddenly received a letter saying that Lady Baihua had been killed, and asked me to come back quickly to collect her body. When I saw the letter, I felt pain in my heart. I couldn't stop, so I didn't care about my identity any more, so I rushed here in a hurry."

After hearing these words from Ling Hua, Hua Lang frowned slightly, and asked, "Did you receive the letter a few days ago?"

"Probably the letter I received on Qixi Festival!"

"Qixi Festival?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this time, because Lady Baihua was killed that night, but no matter how fast the letter was, it was impossible to go so fast, that is to say, before Lady Baihua died, Ling Hua had already received that letter.

And if this is the case, then the person who sent the letter to Ling Hua must be the murderer, because only the murderer will know who is going to die next!

But why did the murderer inform Ling Hua of this matter?

Everyone looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.

At this time, Ling Hua continued: "I rushed to the capital last night, after some inquiries, I learned that Lady Baihua's body was parked in the government office, so I sneaked in at night, but I didn't expect to be discovered by the government office servants. I'm still convinced that I'm the murderer who killed Lady Baihua, my heart is dead, so I thought I'd die with Lady Baihua, so I didn't make any further pleadings."

Hearing Ling Hua's words, everyone suddenly realized, and finally understood why the murderer sent a letter to Ling Hua.
