Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 499 The Third Murder Case

Zhang Wenyuan also saw the word 'Painting Garden' appearing in the air, and his face instantly became ugly.

Seeing Zhang Wenyuan's hesitation, Li Canghai sighed and said, "Since we have found the source of the evil spirit, and I have tried my best, whether to break the situation or not depends on my own wishes."

Speaking of this, Li Canghai said a little tiredly: "Brother Nan, we can go."

Conan nodded, then walked over and was about to leave with the wheelchair.

Zhang Wenyuan frowned, he looked at the direction of the painting garden, then at Li Canghai, and hurriedly said, "Stay here!"

Li Canghai touched the bridge of his nose and asked, "What advice do you have for me?"

Zhang Wenyuan thumped his fist and said, "Since the Immortal Elder has found out the evil situation, if the evil situation is not broken, wouldn't all the previous hard work of the Immortal Elder be wasted? As the saying goes, save people to the end, and send the Buddha to the West , I hope the compassionate heart of Master Immortal will help my Zhang family break this catastrophe!"

Li Canghai frowned, and said: "Besides, it's not because I don't want to help. It's just that my skills are shallow, I'm afraid I'm not competent, and I've been entrusted by outsiders."

"Hey~, what is the fairy talking about? The magic power of the fairy is so strong that everyone has witnessed it. If the fairy is powerless, who can break the evil situation?" Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly bowed his hands to Li Canghai, as if he was afraid that Li Canghai would die again. reject.

"Brother Li, since all the members have said so, why don't you take a look and see if you can break the game before making any plans." Conan took the opportunity to say.

Li Canghai hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look, and please lead the way!"

Zhang Wenyuan was overjoyed immediately, he hurried to the front, and led everyone towards the painting garden.

The painting garden is located in the southeast of the Zhangjia Bieyuan, near the lake and the mountains. The surrounding scenery can be said to be the most beautiful place in the Zhangjia Bieyuan.

However, such a beautiful place has become overgrown with weeds because it has been left unattended all year round. It makes people feel cold and gloomy when it is close to the painting garden.

Zhang Wenyuan asked a group of servants to stay outside, and he, Li Canghai, Conan and others walked towards the arch gate of the painting garden.

Conan pushed Li Canghai and followed behind Zhang Wenyuan, followed by Yu Chengen and Yu Yanrou.

Before coming to the arch, Li Canghai suddenly found a row of footprints on the ground.

"Stop!" Li Canghai said in a deep voice.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Zhang Wenyuan, who was walking in the front, turned around in confusion, and said, "Xianchang, what happened?"

"Brother Li, why...?" Conan didn't say the word 'ha', but suddenly saw the footprints on the ground, he was startled, and lost his voice: "Someone has been here!"

Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, he found two rows of footprints on the moss on the ground.

The painting garden has not been cleaned for a long time, and it is covered with wet and slippery moss, and there will be a clear footprint when you step on it.

There are two rows of footprints on the ground, one shallow and one deep, the shallow ones are narrow and petite, and the deep ones are broad and larger.

Conan walked over, squatted on the ground, measured two steps with his hands, and said to Li Canghai: "These two footprints should be left by a woman and a man. It seems that someone came to the painting garden before us. .”

Yu Chengen, brother and sister, did not know when they reached the arch, and he suddenly shouted: "Brother Li, someone opened the iron lock!"

A bad feeling suddenly rose in Li Canghai's heart, and he hurriedly said, "Don't step on your footprints, everyone, go in quickly!"

When Yu Chengen and Yu Yanrou heard the words, they opened the door first and walked into the courtyard, followed by Li Canghai and others.

The painting garden is deep, and due to no one taking care of it all year round, the surrounding trees have become overgrown, blocking the sunlight, making the courtyard gloomy.

There are many rockeries in the painting garden, and the roads are mostly tortuous.

Yu Chengen and Yu Yanrou walked in the front. They crossed the Jiuqu Floating Bridge in the painting garden and quickly disappeared into the winding road.

Suddenly, a woman screamed in front of her.

Li Canghai and the others sank in their hearts, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the sound came from.

In the middle of the painting garden, there is a house with the main door open.

When everyone arrived, they saw a man in gray clothes facing away from everyone, holding a dagger dripping with blood, about to kill a woman.

"Stop!" Seeing this, everyone shouted in unison.

Zhang Wenyuan even rushed into the room, grabbed a handful of mahogany chairs, and slammed them at the man.

The man noticed the sound behind him, and immediately bent down to dodge, and then jumped out of the window.

Almost at the same time, the seat thrown by Zhang Wenyuan hit the wall with a bang, and it fell apart immediately.

Conan chased the murderer around the corner at the same time the assailant jumped out of the window.

The woman in the room seemed to have been greatly frightened, leaning against Zhang Wenyuan's arms with a pale face, crying non-stop.

"Don't be afraid, Rou'er, with the master here, no one can bully you!" Zhang Wenyuan comforted the woman with his arms around her.

That woman is none other than Yu Yanrou who came into the painting garden with Yu Chengen before everyone else.

Li Canghai pushed the wheelchair by himself. As soon as he came to the door, he smelled a strong smell of blood.

He hurriedly turned the wooden wheel and walked in.

As far as he could see, he immediately gasped. A woman was tied to the pillar on the left side of the house. The woman was wearing a yellow shirt, and blood dripped from her abdomen.

"Orange? Orange! Wake up! Orange!" After Zhang Wenyuan comforted Yu Yanrou, he suddenly saw the woman tied to the pillar and rushed over, shouting loudly.

Li Canghai hurried over, only then did he realize that the deceased was none other than Zhang Wenyuan's concubine Juzi!
"Who? Who killed the orange? Who is it?" Zhang Wenyuan clenched his hands tightly, crackling, his eyes wide open, like a lion about to go mad, and slammed his fist on the wooden pillar , Suddenly a large piece of blood flowed out.

He may not care about the death of a servant, and he may not care about the death of a concubine, but it is different if three concubines die in succession.

These three concubines were all his favorites, but now they were killed one after another, how could he not be angry?
"Damn murderer! I'm going to tear your body into pieces!" Zhang Wenyuan's eyes were tearing apart, he roared angrily, and rushed out of the room like crazy.

Yu Yanrou sat on the chair with a terrified expression, her body trembling constantly.

Li Canghai frowned. He came to the pillar and carefully inspected Ju Zi's body. He found that the body was warm, and the time of death was within a quarter of an hour, most likely when everyone came to the house.

Large swathes of steaming blood flowed out from the orange's abdomen, forming a puddle of blood on the ground.

Li Canghai looked down at the surroundings, and found a picture scroll beside the mahogany seat next to the pillar.
