Chapter 67

Zhao Shoucheng is dead.

He died in his own room, with the footprints of a child on his face.

There was a child's schoolbag on the table, and a blood-stained inkstone on the ground. The scene of the crime could not be simpler, and everyone had their own speculations.

The curator was supported by Xu Mingli, and he stood up straight after a while, his expression still not very good-looking.He gently pushed Xu Mingli's hand away, frowning and did not dare to look at Zhao Shoucheng who was lying on the ground.I wanted to ask Du Youning what to do now, but when I turned around, I saw the general surrounding the young girl.The two looked at each other, as if they were isolated from the outside world.

It must be too impolite.Although the curator thought so, he didn't want to offend the general, so he coughed heavily and asked, "General, what do you think should be done now?"

Gu Ruo regained consciousness after hearing the words, bit her lips and took two steps back, and said softly to Du Youning, "Don't worry, I'm not afraid." Because she spoke very softly, her voice sounded soft and sweet, and it sounded a bit coquettish means.In fact, she didn't mean anything else, but Du Youning heard some kind of intimacy for some reason, and the tip of her heart seemed to be scratched by a feather, it was a little itchy, but she couldn't hear enough.

At this moment, Wen Xiangnuanyu was not in his arms, Du Youning turned around, his mind was clear, and he told the curator: "This place is now the scene of the crime, the curator and Mr. Xu should go out and report to the police first, don't call The idlers wait here so as not to spoil the scene."

"Okay, okay!" The curator nodded quickly, no matter how respectful Zhao Shoucheng was to him before he was alive, he felt terrified looking at him now.The curator didn't hesitate, greeted Xu Mingli and went out.

Xu Mingli nodded to Du Youning, seeing that Gu Ruo was still standing there, he was afraid that she would be scared when looking at the corpse, so he said gently to her: "Miss Gu, you should go out together too. It's not a good time, I'm afraid you will see the dead body increased discomfort."

Gu Ruo smiled at him, declined his kindness, and only said that she was not afraid.Seeing this, Xu Mingli didn't force it, and walked out with his hands folded.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, seeing Du Youning still looking at him, Gu Ruo didn't know what he was thinking, and always felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird.In order to break this situation, Gu Ruoqing stepped forward and checked Zhao Shoucheng's body.There were no obvious scars on his whole body, the fatal wound was on the back of the head, and there were obvious corpse spots on his forehead.Presumably he was just sitting at the table when he was killed, and the murderer hit the back of his head with an inkstone from behind, resulting in his death.

Yamen Wuzuo Yamen Wuzuo conducted an autopsy and came to a conclusion similar to Gu Ruo's.The percussion injury on the back of the head was a fatal injury. Combined with the wound and the defect and blood on the inkstone, the murder weapon was definitely that inkstone.The time of death was You o'clock in the night. In addition, there were some slight bruises on his body. It is speculated that the perpetrator was still young or weak.

It was Song Daren, a well-known arrester from the capital who came. He asked about the cause of the incident, looked at the schoolbag and the footprints on the deceased's face, and turned his gaze to the two children standing at the door.

After learning about Zhao Shoucheng's accident, Li Wenhan felt relieved and uneasy, always afraid that everyone would focus on him.No matter who the murderer is, the footprints on Mr.'s face were left by him, and the Fang Yantai was also stolen by himself. Now that Mr. is dead, he must be implicated.

Sure enough, Song Daren walked up to Li Wenhan carrying the square inkstone, his sharp eyes fell on them, and he asked in a rough voice, "Are you Li Wenhan?"

"Yes."

"Let me ask you, do you recognize this inkstone?"

Li Wenhan couldn't help but glanced at Xiao Wu, then lowered his head and replied, "Yes, I took it out of the vault..."

"Since the inkstone you took out, why did it appear at the scene of the murder? You said that the deceased wanted to molest you, so you must be extremely disgusted and disgusted in your heart." Song Daren bent down, stared straight into Li Wenhan's eyes, and saw He clenched his hands and was sweating, and his emotions were on the verge of collapse. Not only did he not stop, but he stepped forward and asked, "You hated him, so you went back to the scene and beat him to death with an inkstone, right?"

"I didn't!" Li Wenhan suddenly raised his head and shouted, his voice was sharp and piercing, "I hate him, but I am even more afraid of him. I think he will be punished, but he won't do such a thing himself!"

"Can't do it yourself?" Song Daren keenly grasped the two words, and looked at Li Wenhan with deep meaning in his eyes, "You mean, you want someone else to do it?"

So what!
Li Wenhan lowered his head, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.He is just a vengeful character, if Zhao Shoucheng dares to bully him like this, of course he won't make it easy for him!It's just that what he wanted was to find someone to tie him up and torture him for the rest of his life, but he didn't want his life.Now that Zhao Shoucheng was dead, he wished he could cry out, and felt that it would be easier for him to die so lightly.But it is impossible for him to tell anyone about these self-destructive words.Even if it was Xiao Wu who was already regarded as a friend by him, he would not let him know that he had such vicious thoughts, one was that he could not, and the other was that he did not dare.

He knew very well that Xiao Wu and Gu Ruo were kind to him, more or less sympathetic, but he didn't mind, and even pretended to be more scared. After he tasted this kindness, he didn't want to let go easily.Living in a profit-oriented family since he was a child, Li Wenhan is used to calculating benefits first when dealing with others.Even if he really likes Xiao Wu, it can't change his original character.Xiao Wu is very good, and he also wants to be good friends with him, so he can't let Xiao Wu know about his thoughts.If Xiao Wu knew that he had calculated even the decision to befriend him, he would definitely mind, and Li Wenhan would definitely not let this happen.

Just when Li Wenhan was about to veto it flatly, Xiao Wu took his hand and said to Song Daren, "Brother, I brought the inkstone. I wanted to return it to Mr., but I didn't expect to find him We are bullying Wen Han. As brothers of the same school, we naturally cannot sit idly by. Wen Han was rescued by us, and he has been with me since then, and slept in my house at night. It is impossible for him to travel so far to beat Mr. Zhao. , we are all children, and we can't beat an adult, let alone kill him."

Song Daren naturally knew that the two children were not suspected, but the evidence present was related to them, so he had to ask: "Do you know the schoolbag on the table?"

Li Wenhan relaxed his shoulders, nodded and said in a muffled voice, "I know, it belongs to Li Li."

"But the kid who went to court for committing suicide?"

"Exactly." Li Wenhan thought for a while, and still told the story of Li Li's reluctance to be taken away by Mr. Zhao that day, and then he took poison when he returned.

Li Li's schoolbag was in the deceased's room, and the deceased was suspected of molesting a boy.

Perhaps, Li Li's death was really related to Zhao Shoucheng?Could Zhao Shoucheng's death also have something to do with Li Li's matter?
Thinking of this, Song Daren hurriedly whispered to the guards around him, asking him to quickly take Wu Zuo to Li's house to check if the child's body had been violated.The evidence has been collected and people have investigated. Song Daren looked back at Du Youning who was speechless, wondering if he should say hello to the general.Song Daren worshiped under Prime Minister Gu very early on, and everyone knew that Prime Minister Gu and Prime Minister Xiao were not at odds, and even the Du family who led the Gu family and the Xiao family's in-laws were not at odds.

But when Song Daren came in, he just investigated the case and didn't have any conversation with Du Youning.But now all the questions that should be asked have been asked, and it would not be good to say hello if he does not say hello, Song Daren hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to punch him, and asked: "Why is the general here?"

Du Youning looked at Song Daren, and suddenly let him sit on the chair that Zhao Shoucheng sat on before.Song Daren was somewhat displeased at letting the living sit on the dead man's chair, thinking that Du Youning was deliberately trying to embarrass himself.It's just that no matter how displeased, that person's rank is higher than his own, Song Daren sat down reluctantly, forced a smile and said: "I don't know what the general's intention is?"

"Turn around and turn your back to me." Du Youning didn't answer, but said to him again.

Song Daren was even more puzzled, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this major general's gourd, but he still followed his advice.Just when he couldn't help muttering, a strong wind hit the back of his head, Song Daren subconsciously thought too much but it was too late.Fortunately, the man didn't really attack, but only stopped in the back of his head.

Song Daren wiped the cold sweat off his head, stood up suddenly, and asked, "What do you mean, General?"

Du Youning took his time and explained to him: "I was calculating the height just now. Zhao Shoucheng is as tall as you. Based on the movement of the wound, I roughly imitated the murderer's movements. I speculate that this person is half a foot taller than me. There are not many people who can enter and leave the school at will. You can investigate according to this, and maybe you can find the murderer."

Is that okay?

Song Daren responded, and ordered someone to check the list of people who stayed in the academy yesterday, focusing on suspicious people with similar heights.

Zhao Shoucheng's case is not complicated at all, but it is not easy to investigate the murderer for a while.

Li Li's body was still at home, and the autopsy found that Li Li had been abused before his death.Li Li's parents were immediately furious, but they felt a little ashamed in the end, and the culprit had already passed away. Instead, they begged the yamen servant not to publicize the matter.The son has gone, and they want to make a good name for him.

On this day, after Xu Mingli had finished his class for the students, he suddenly made a boat for them deeply.Seeing the innocent students below, Xu Mingli sighed, and smiled again: "Today is my last class for you, and after tomorrow, there will be a new teacher to teach you."

There was an uproar in the hall, Xu Mingli was always kind and knowledgeable, and most of the students respected him.Therefore, at first hearing this, no one could accept it.

Some students couldn't help raising their hands and asked, "Sir, why don't you teach us?"

Xu Mingli spread his hands, and explained gently, "Because I'm going on a long trip."

Xiao Wu looked at Xu Mingli and couldn't bear it.When he first entered the school, Mr. Xu took good care of him. Now that he said he was going to travel far away, Xiao Wu naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Sir, are you coming back then?"

Xu Mingli patted Xiao Wu's head, his thoughts drifted to nowhere, and he murmured: "I won't come back... I won't come back..."
