Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 641 View the scene
Wen Qing, the county magistrate, asked again: "What else did you hear?"

Di Renjie replied: "There is nothing else. In the morning, Cao Min had just woken up when he heard the clerk shouting from upstairs. When he went upstairs, he found that the two guests in Room A were dead."

"You mean five people entered the inn?"

"Exactly."

"But according to what the guy just said, last night, only the two dead people in Room A entered the inn."

Di Renjie paused and said, "Maybe he didn't see the other three people!"

Wen Qing sneered and said, "You saw the two dead people and the three murderers. What a coincidence! Ah, you and your group are really destined for Qiaozi?"

Di Renjie said: "Exactly. The grassroots think so too."

Wen Qing raised his head, fixed his eyes on Di Renjie and said, "But in my opinion, the murderer is in the shop!"

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Oh? Last night, the only ones staying in the shop were the buddy and ten of us.

Wen Qing laughed: "Well said. This No. A room has been rented out for a year. During this time, the two deceased have had trysts in the room many times.

If the guy really wanted to kill someone, he could have done it long ago, and he didn't have to wait until last night. "

Di Renjie also laughed: "That is to say, your lord thinks the murderer is among the ten of us?"

Wen Qing glanced at Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and the others: "I mean your group!"

Wang Mang snorted softly: "Why, does your lord think we are also suspected?"

Wen Qing didn't speak, apparently acquiescing to Wang Mang's words.

Wang Mang continued: "We just came here this morning, and we didn't even know that a murder happened here. How could we kill someone?"

Wen Qing stared at Wang Mang and Di Renjie and said, "Could it be impossible?"

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and he smiled: "The motive, what is our motive for killing?"

Wen Qing was at a loss for words, pondered for a moment and said, "This county still needs to investigate further. But in terms of the situation at the scene, the motive for the murder should be for love."

Hearing the last sentence, Wang Mang didn't speak, but Di Renjie couldn't help laughing: "Your Excellency, you don't think that I, an old man, will kill people for love, do you?"

Wen Qing said: "Why is this impossible? Moreover, the county did not say that you are the murderer, but that you are all suspected."

Di Renjie shook his head slightly and said: "Don't talk about Jingyang and them, just say that we only arrived in Xuyi at noon yesterday. Who are we going to make love with in such a short time?"

Wen Qing coughed lightly and said: "The so-called love-killing judgment is now just the county's reasoning, maybe the murderer has a deeper reason for the murder.

For example, murder for money or revenge.

At midnight last night, when the two deceased entered the store, you happened to be walking in the yard. Only you and the clerk saw them go upstairs and enter the guest room.

After two hours, the two guests were killed.

And what's even more coincidental is that you actually met this group of people in the morning. You said to yourself, are you suspicious? "

Di Renjie said: "But Cao Min just said that there are three more people entering the store."

Wen Qing said: "This is just your one-sided statement. If no one else sees it, how can you prove it?"

Di Renjie smiled, and asked back: "Caomin would like to ask, what is your lord's basis for deciding the case?"

Wen Qing said: "Of course it is the investigation of the scene and the analysis of the motive of the crime."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "That's a good point. Then, Caomin would like to ask, did your lord carefully inspect the scene?"

Wen Qing's face darkened.

The yamen servant next to him yelled: "Shut up! What are you, how dare you talk to the county magistrate like that! Are you itchy!"

Wang Mang, Zeng Tai and others snorted heavily, and just about to speak, Di Renjie waved his hands with a smile.

Wen Qing said coldly: "Since taking office in this county, countless cases have been solved. I'm afraid you don't need to remind me of the way to investigate the scene?!"

Di Renjie said: "Okay then, I would like to ask a few questions. I wonder if my lord will forgive me?"

Wen Qing snorted and said, "Ask, and see what other tricks you can come up with."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "First of all, did your lord see these two lines of bloody footprints?"

Wang Mang also lowered his head, and there were two distinct footprints on the ground.

Wen Qing sneered and said, "Of course I saw it, the footprints lead to the guest room C."

Di Renjie said: "Great. This means that after the murder, the murderer returned to Room C, doesn't it?"

Wen Qing said, "Not bad. So what?"

Di Renjie said: "If Caomin is the murderer, why didn't he go back to his own room after the murder, and enter Room C instead?"

Wen Qing was stunned: "This..."

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other with a sneer on their faces.

Di Renjie continued: "Also, there are bloody footprints left by the murderer on the ground. Now we can compare them to see if they were left by grass-roots people."

As he spoke, he walked to the bloody footprints and stepped on them.

Di Renjie's foot was nearly an inch longer than the bloody footprint.

Wen Qing was stunned for a while without speaking, and finally said coldly: "Even if the murderer is not you, the people around you are also suspect."

Zeng Tai sneered and said, "Then everyone will compare their footprints one by one."

Wen Qing snorted, but did not speak.

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Can you ask your lord to move the car now, and follow the grass-roots people to look at the house in No. C?"

Wen Qing hummed and stood up.

Everyone followed Di Renjie out of the room and came to Room C.

Di Renjie said: "In this room, the stools and tables were overturned, the flower pots fell to the ground, there was a pool of blood on the bed, and there was a bloody steel knife on the ground.

This shows that there must have been a fierce fight here last night, and some people were injured and bled.Does your lord admit this? "

Wen Qing nodded and said: "The situation in the house inspection should be true."

Di Renjie said: "If any one of us is the murderer, why did we come to this room C after killing someone? Who did we fight with?"

After finishing speaking, Di Renjie walked slowly to the broken flower pot, took out the emerald ring that was still under the fragment, and said to Wen Qing, "Master must not have found this ring, right?"

Wen Qing was startled, and stepped forward to take the ring. Upon closer inspection, he found that there were many small spots on it, and it was still stained with a trace of blood.

Di Renjie continued: "According to what your lord said just now, there was no murderer who sneaked into the inn last night, and it was one of us who killed the two deceased, so this ring must belong to the murderer.

My lord, please take the ring and let us try it on. "

Wen Qing looked at Di Renjie and handed over the ring.

Di Renjie put it on his middle finger and ring finger first, but the ring was too small to fit it in.

Afterwards, Zeng Tai and others tried them on one by one, but none of them fit either big or small.

Wang Mang looked at the ring in his hand and frowned. He looked at the ring suspiciously. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

Seeing Wang Mang's expression, Di Renjie knew what he had thought of.

At this time, Wang Mang tried the ring in his hand, but it was too small to fit in.
