Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 671 Another Death

Di Renjie didn't speak, and took the bloody scissors in his hand to observe carefully.

The inner glove of the scissors was stained with blood, and there was a clear bloody fingerprint of the left hand on the curved outer ring of the glove and the blade.

Wen Qing on the side pointed to the scissors in Di Renjie's hand and said, "The bloody fingerprints of the left hand are printed on the scissors. It is certain that the murderer must be Sun Xiwang."

Di Renjie looked at the scissors in his hand and nodded slowly, lost in thought.

Wang Mang didn't speak, took a deep breath, and looked at Yan's hands.

Yan's hands were hanging limply on the ground, his fingers were relaxed, and there was no sign of flexion or stiffness.

Wang Mang shook his head slightly.

He raised his head, thinking quietly.

After a long time, he turned his head and looked at the square table behind him.The square table was placed beside the door, and besides the overturned basket, there was also a wind lantern on the table.

Wang Mang walked to the table, reached out and picked up the lantern, and looked at it carefully.

The wind lamp is split up and down, with a copper candlestick underneath and an oval lampshade made of silk above.

Half a piece of red wax is stuck in the copper candlestick.

Wang Mang carefully inspected the lantern.

Di Renjie came over, and Wang Mang handed the lamp to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie nodded slightly, and took it over. He took off the lampshade and flicked it lightly. The material of the lampshade was very hard, and there was a "bang bang" sound.

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, what did you discover?"

Di Renjie shook his head slowly and said: "Based on the current situation at the scene, Yan's death situation, and the narrations of the neighbors, Sun Xiwang has the greatest possibility of murdering and absconding."

Zeng Tai nodded.

Wang Mang looked at Di Renjie suddenly, and Di Renjie shook his head slightly at Wang Mang.

Wang Mang nodded knowingly, but did not speak.

Wen Qing asked: "According to Mr. Wang, how should we deal with it now?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment and said: "It's only been a few hours since the case was discovered, and Sun Xiwang can't run far.

County magistrate, please send arrests at sea immediately, and order the third class of arresters to follow up from all directions, and arrest Sun Xiwang to the Yamen, this is currently the most effective way to get the answer. "

Wen Qing smiled and said, "It's the same as what the lower official thinks."

Before the words fell, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.

Hearing the sound, Wang Mang looked out suddenly, and it turned out to be Wu Touer, the head of the police squad who was in charge of monitoring Chang's mother, barging in.

His face was panicked, sweating profusely: "My lord, something happened!"

Wen Qing said, "What's wrong?"

Wu Tou'er said: "Mother Chang was strangled to death at home last night!"

"what?!"

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and others couldn't help being shocked, "Go and see!"

……

Wang Mang, Di Renjie, Wen Qing and others soon came to Chang's mother's house.

I saw Chang's mother lying on the couch, her face was purple, her eyes were wide open, there was a deep bloody gash on her forehead, and a hemp rope was wrapped around her neck.

Wang Mang, Di Renjie and Wen Qing walked to the corpse and examined it carefully.

Wang Mang's eyes scanned the room.

On the ground beside the couch, there was an iron square candlestick.

Wang Mang walked over, picked up the candlestick, and looked at it carefully.

The square corners of the candlesticks were stained with blood.

Wang Mang picked up the candlestick and handed it to Di Renjie, saying, "Sir, look."

Di Renjie looked at the blood on the candlestick and fell silent.

After a long time, Di Renjie took a look at Wen Qing and said, "Master County Magistrate, I remember that there should be police officers watching day and night in front of Chang's house, right?"

Wen Qing nodded and said, "Exactly."

He turned around and said, "Come on!"

Wu Tou'er walked in quickly: "My lord."

Wen Qing asked, "Who was in charge of monitoring the Chang family last night?"

Wu Tou'er said: "Go back to your lord, last night was the young man on duty."

Wen Qing asked, "What happened at night?"

Wu Touer said: "No, everything is normal."

Wen Qing asked: "Then, how did you find out that Mrs. Chang was killed?"

Wu Tou'er said with a mournful face: "Usually, my mother-in-law gets up very early, around Mao o'clock, and she has already opened the door to fetch water, sweep the court, and do all the housework.

But today, when it was Si time, there was still no movement in the house, and the little girl felt that something was wrong, so she went up to call for the door, but no one answered in the house.

Only then did the little one climb over the wall from the backyard and found that Mrs. Chang had been strangled to death on the couch! "

Wen Qing asked, "Did anyone come to see him last night?"

Wu Tou'er shook his head and said: "No, the little Yisu has his eyes wide open, and there is no movement around here."

Wang Mang frowned and looked at Di Renjie.

Wen Qing said to Di Renjie: "Thinking about it, the murderer jumped over the wall and sneaked into the house through the back door to commit the murder."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "Judging from the situation at the scene, when the murderer sneaked into the room, Chang's mother was already fast asleep. The murderer first hit her on the head with an iron candlestick, causing her to faint. The rope strangled her to death."

Wang Mang glanced at Di Renjie, shook his head slightly, and was about to speak when Di Renjie gave him a wink.

Telling Wang Mang not to ask too much, Wang Mang nodded slightly, after all, he did not ask out the doubts in his heart.

After hearing Di Renjie's analysis, Wen Qing nodded and said, "That's right, looking at the situation in the house, it's true."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Yan was killed last night. Coincidentally, Mother Chang was also killed at home. I think there must be an internal connection between these two cases..."

Wen Qing was taken aback, and asked, "Oh, internal connection? What do you mean, sir?"

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie said: "The internal connection I'm talking about refers to the motive of committing the crime. Think about it, who has the motive to kill Chang's mother?"

Wang Mang, Wen Qing and Zeng Tai looked at each other, thinking quietly.

Di Renjie said: "First of all, in order to cover up his crime of adultery with Yan Shi, He Wuqi may send someone to kill Chang's mother and kill her."

Zeng Tai asked: "However, He Wuqi stayed in the He Garden last night and had no time to commit crimes."

Di Renjie said: "I didn't say that He Wuqi killed Chang's mother with his own hands. He might send his subordinates to commit the crime."

Wen Qing shook his head and said: "Sir, the method of killing people to silence them is a bad strategy used by criminals to cover up their true feelings when they are in a hurry.

And He Wuqi still doesn't know that the adultery has been exposed, why did he kill people to silence it?I think that this case should not be done by him. "

Wang Mang shook his head: "He Wuqi is so rich and powerful, he doesn't do it himself, but it doesn't mean he can't let others do it."

Wen Qing was taken aback: "You mean He Wuqi hired murderers to kill?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "It's too early to draw conclusions, sir, what's your opinion?"

Di Renjie said: "Let's not talk about who murdered, but these two cases must be related, think about it.

If only the murder of Chang's mother happened last night, we can definitely list him as the first suspect.

However, what really made He Wuqi unrelated was the murder that happened in Sun Ji's silk shop. The two cases happened almost at the same time, and the victim Yan and Chang's mother had a close relationship.

Therefore, the two murders happened independently, and the possibility of being unrelated is almost zero. "
