Chapter Ten The Inspector's Office
The day after Liu Lu was killed, the villagers found Liu Lu's body in the woods, and the village suddenly became a mess.
When Liu Lu was an official, he knew a lot about propriety and had superb political skills. In addition, he was devoted to cultivating immortality and did not like corruption, so he was very popular among the people.
As soon as the news of Liu Lu's murder came out, the people in the village were filled with indignation and vowed to catch the murderer.
The death of an imperial official for no apparent reason naturally attracted the arrests of the Pingshan City Supervisory Office.
The old police chief led a team of detectives to Huaiyang Village in the morning, but the traces at the murder scene made the murder even more confusing, and the investigation reached a deadlock.
"Team leader, why don't you call Su Lin?" Qin Xueye said.
"I almost forgot, that kid lives in Huaiyang Village." Ma Yong was very impressed by Su Lin. He was a young man with a bright mind and was very good at restoring the scene. The massacre case a few years ago was assisted by Su Lin.
fixed.
Ma Yong had originally planned to recommend Su Lin to the Inspectorate when he grew older, and this time it was just a good time to test his skills.
"Call him here." Ma Yong said.
Qin Xueye looked happy: "Okay!"
…
Su Lin was called to the Liu Mansion. He had long known that killing Liu Lu would inevitably attract the attention of the Inspectorate, but he did not expect that the Inspectorate would ask him to assist in the investigation.
In this way, as long as he carefully guides the inspectorate's investigation ideas, the other party will not be able to catch him.
After visiting all the suspicious places, Su Lin came to the county government office with Qin Xueye.
When Su Lin walked into the county government office, he saw Ma Yong asking the villagers one by one what they saw and heard last night. The two looked at each other, and Su Lin smiled honestly: "Hello, Mr. Ma."
Ma Yong nodded: "Xiao Lin is here, have you seen several places?"
"I've seen it all." Su Lin said respectfully.
"Do you have any ideas?" Ma Yong asked.
Su Lin adjusted his breathing and read out the false reasoning he made up on the way:
"I heard from Sister Xue Ye that one of Mr. Liu's arms was found in the mansion, but the body was in the woods outside the village, and the blood stains left in the mansion were along the corridor of the inner courtyard and crossed the courtyard wall, just like Mr. Liu was found across the courtyard.
The wall left Liu Mansion.
But this is obviously impossible. Firstly, Mr. Liu is old and he will definitely not be able to do it. Secondly, Mr. Liu has lost his arm and cannot climb over the wall. Therefore, the assassin must have cut off his arm and held him hostage.
Left Liu Mansion."
Qin Xueye nodded in agreement: "That's right, and all the Liu family members were dismissed last night, and all the family members were arranged to spend the night at Zhang Yuanwai's home. Only the master was called to the Liu family to copy books.
The magistrate's arm was not far outside the study, but the master didn't hear any movement. This shows that the assassin was very skilled in martial arts. He not only subdued Master Liu in an instant, but also led him to escape over the wall."
"All the Ding family members were sent away. Liu Lu seemed to know that the assassin would come, but he did not tell the government about it. Could it be that... County Magistrate Liu had an ulterior secret that made him willing to risk death?
Confront this assassin?"
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding villagers immediately started talking.
Ma Yong frowned, rubbed the handle of the knife at his waist, and walked slowly around the body.
After a few rounds, he stopped, pointed at the wound on the leg of the corpse, and analyzed: "This is the mark left by the blade rotating in the flesh. He suffered cruel torture before death. The assassin must have wanted to ask questions from him."
What happened?"
"Then could these penetrating wounds be caused by arrows?" Qin Xueye asked, pointing to the two holes on the shoulder and belly of the corpse.
Su Lin was startled, and immediately misled the other party: "It's almost impossible. How many stones does it take for a bow to let an arrow go directly through the shoulder blade? The trees in the woods outside the village were also penetrated. It's impossible for ordinary arrows to do so.
make it happen.
Even the Shenji Battalion's Gale Crossbow may not be able to shoot through the trees. No matter how powerful the crossbow is, the crossbow arrows cannot withstand such a huge impact.
What's more, Mr. Liu's arm had already been chopped off in the mansion, so there was no reason for the assassin to shoot him with a bow and arrow later."
Ma Yong nodded slightly, feeling that it made sense, but as a result, the case became even more bizarre.
"Then what do you think is going on?" Ma Yong asked.
"I don't even know that the death of the county magistrate is really strange." Su Lin pretended to be helpless and regretful.
"It's really strange. I've been encountering some strange things recently. The oiran from Pingshan City also disappeared last night." Qin Xueye said casually.
Zhao Hu, who was standing on the side, suddenly became interested when he heard this: "My lord, are you talking about Luo Huainan, the number one courtesan in Pingshan City?"
Li Ergou's eyes lit up when he heard this. He pulled Zhao Hu's sleeve and asked, "Have you seen that oiran?"
"The day before yesterday when I went to the city to sell fox pelts, I passed by Zuixian Tower and met her! That little girl is only sixteen years old, but she has such big breasts, thin skin and tender flesh, and her eyes and nose, if you just glance at you, she will...
It can make your whole body unbearably hot.
When I went there, Zuixianlou was looking for its first benefactor for Luo Huainan, and all the rich young men in the city came! Finally, it was Mr. Qian from Baoshan Bank who bought Luo Huainan’s first night." Zhao
Tiger said.
Qin Xueye glanced at Zhao Hu and smiled disdainfully: "Humph! The information is quite good, but the rich young master didn't even touch the oiran's hand."
"disappeared?"
"No, dead."
"Dead?! Then what did you mean by missing just now?"
"The body is missing. Looking at the footprints on the street, do you think it's strange that the body walked out on its own?" Qin Xueye said with a smile.
"Xue Ye, don't talk nonsense! Have you forgotten the laws of Daxia?" Ma Yong shouted coldly.
Hearing this, Qin Xueye changed his teasing tone, coughed a few times, and corrected:
"The person who scared you just now is actually some pervert who stole the body of the oiran and deliberately wore the oiran's shoes when escaping to confuse the public and interfere with our direction of handling the case. Don't worry, we will catch him in a few days."
Su Lin listened silently and didn't take it to heart. Although it was strange that the oiran's body escaped on his own, since the oiran had not been forgotten, it proved that it was not the work of an evil cultivator and it was not worthy of his attention.
Soon, Ma Yong drew everyone's attention back to Liu Lu's case. Several detectives expressed their opinions, while Su Lin interjected from time to time and quietly guided the thinking of several detectives, which led to
The imagination is getting further and further away from the truth.
In this way, Su Lin was caught by Qin Xueye and discussed until noon before he was released home.
Su Lin was mentally exhausted from the long period of high-intensity brain use, but fortunately, his performance was perfect. Without any accident, it would be impossible for the Inspectorate to catch him.
"It should be fine."
Su Lin sighed heavily and opened the door. As soon as he entered the house with his left foot, a strange fragrance penetrated his nose.
The action of entering the house was a pause, and the nerves that finally relaxed returned to a tense state in an instant.
Someone else has been in the room... This seems to be the smell of rouge and gouache. The fragrance is delicate and long-lasting, and you can't get tired of smelling it for a long time. Except for the daughters of dignitaries, only the top prostitutes in brothels will use it.
Su Lin frowned slightly and slowly and carefully scanned everything in sight.
The stools and chairs beside the table showed slight signs of movement. The window had been opened, and there was a torn brocade hanging on the window.
Su Lin stepped forward and took off this silk brocade. This soft and silky touch was very precious. Only women's skirts would use this silky fabric.
"Du."
Suddenly there was a very light noise from the inner room, and Su Lin turned his head and looked at the tent leading to the inner room.
How dare the intruder hide in the house?
