Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 905 The Floating Corpse

Sun Bei is suspicious, but the time has not yet come to move him.

Whether he can be moved depends on the news brought back by the yamen servant.

Although the torrential rain stopped, the roads were full of rain, and some places even reached the calves. Hualang and others didn't want to step on the water, so they planned to wait for the rain to subside tomorrow before going out to investigate. Fortunately, the city gates were closed and the murderer Can't escape for the time being.

In the middle of the night, the croaking of frogs in Chang'an City resounded. Hua Lang stood at the window looking at the night sky, and suddenly remembered a poem by Xin Qiji:

Don't terrorize magpies on the bright moon, and cicadas scream in the breeze at midnight.The fragrance of rice flower said good harvest, and heard the sound of frogs.

Seven or eight stars outside, two or three points in front of the rain mountain.In the old days, by the forest side of Maodianshe, the road turned to Xiqiao and suddenly you saw it.

The words are beautiful, and the scenery described in the words is also beautiful, with a touch of leisure, people can't help thinking about this kind of life.

It's just that Hwarang knows very well that although this kind of life is beautiful, it is not something that people like him can enjoy for a long time. In this world, there are not many people who are as indifferent to fame and wealth as Tao Yuanming, and there are no people who can have no desires and no desires. .

He Hualang didn't say that it was impossible to live an ordinary life, even if he wanted to, the court would not allow it.

After reciting the words just now, Hua Lang let out a long sigh, and then turned around. At this time, Wen Meng was making the bed. Seeing that Hua Lang seemed to be preoccupied, she asked, "Why, sir, are you worrying about this murder case?" Worried?"

Hwarang shrugged his shoulders: "There are not many clues in this murder case so far, although it seems a bit difficult to solve, but as long as there are more clues, it might be easy, let alone him, let's wait for news from the yamen servant tomorrow. "

Because of a heavy rain, the temperature dropped slightly tonight, so it was very comfortable to sleep.

There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, the water level dropped, and Hua Lang and others were waiting at home for news from the yamen servant. Not long after the time passed, a yamen servant hurried over, but the news brought by the yamen servant was not related to Sun Bei. The relevant news, but the news related to a dead body.

Outside Chang'an City, in the moat, a corpse floated out, a corpse that people could not bear to look at directly.

This was beyond the expectation of Hualang and others. They never expected that there would be a dead body in the moat outside Chang'an City. moat.

On the way, the yamen servant told Hwarang that the reason why a corpse surfaced might be because of the heavy rain yesterday, which raised the water level of the moat, and as a result, corpses from other parts of the moat were washed here.

The situation is very likely to be like this, Hwarang nodded and asked: "Can you send someone to look for the family of the deceased?"

The yamen servant was a little bit embarrassed, and after a long time said: "The corpse is no longer visible, I'm afraid it's not easy to find."

Afterwards, Hwarang didn't ask any more questions, and followed the yamen servant directly to the moat.

When they arrived at the moat, Li Jing'an had already led the yamen guards there, and there were many spectators standing beside him, but these spectators did not dare to approach, because the corpse looked too scary.

When Li Jingan saw Hua Lang and the others coming, he immediately went up to greet him, and said nervously, "Master Hua, the murder case at Dukang Winery has not been investigated clearly yet, yet another murder case happened here, this... how is this going to be?" OK!"

Hwarang's brows were furrowed. He naturally knew that this matter would be difficult, but he had to do it.

After waving slightly, Hwarang sighed and said, "Look at the corpse first!"

Li Jingan nodded repeatedly, and then pointed to the corpse on the river bank not far away. When Hwarang saw the corpse, he couldn't help retching, and he vomited like this, let alone Wen Meng, Hua Wan'er and Yin Wu. They were taken aback. Although they had seen many corpses, their ability to resist retching was comparable to that of Hwarang.

After Hwarang vomited, he walked towards the corpse. At this time, the corpse was rotten, and besides the decay, maggots had already started to grow on the corpse. How disgusting it was.

After finding a veil to cover his mouth and nose, Hwarang ordered someone to bring clean water to rinse the corpse, and then carried the corpse to a clean place for inspection. After some inspection, Hwarang found that there were many wounds on the body of the deceased Among them, the forehead is the largest, which should be a fatal wound. Other than that, nothing was found, and the clothes of the corpse began to rot, but there was nothing inside that could prove his identity.

However, judging from the texture of the clothes, it can be seen that the family background of the deceased should be good.

After reading this, Hwarang explained his findings and said: "Judging from the injuries on the deceased's body, the deceased had fought with others before he died, and the murderer gave the deceased a blow from the front door, which eventually led to the death of the deceased. The deceased was killed, and judging from the degree of decay of the body, he should have been dead for more than ten days. If he had been soaked in water for more than ten days, he should have been discovered earlier, so I guess the body may have been thrown into the water by the murderer at the same time. , it may have been hidden in other places by the murderer, and was washed into the moat because of a heavy rain yesterday."

Everyone has never doubted Hwarang's autopsy skills. Now that Hwarang says it looks like this, then the corpse must be like this. Although Li Jingan has not known Hwarang for a long time, he still agrees with Hwarang's point of view Yes, so after Hwarang finished speaking, he quickly asked: "Then what should we do next?"

"Look, find the place where the body was before it was washed into the moat. Maybe we can find some clues in that place."

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in response, and everyone felt that since the corpse could be washed into the moat by the rain, the place where the corpse was before must not be far from the moat. As long as you search along the moat, you will be able to find that place where.

After Li Jingan sent the servants down, he pointed to a commoner and said to Hua Lang, "Young Master Hua, this person found the corpse. Do you have any questions?"

The people looked flustered, Hwarang smiled slightly, and waved his hands, people like him, if they can't ask anything, it's better to let him go.

The commoner ran down in a hurry, and at this moment, Hua Lang suddenly looked at Li Jingan and asked, "Master Li, with a corpse like this, can the family of the deceased be found?"

Li Jingan was a bit embarrassed, but he still said: "If the deceased is going to the city, and his family lives in Chang'an City, I think we can definitely find it. After all, there is one person missing in the family. If you ask, the family of the deceased must also report it. The official is not, I am going to send people to Chang'an City to inquire immediately to see if there is such a family, maybe by asking such a question, we can really find out the identity of the deceased."
