Chapter 263: The Dragon Figure Country Case (48)
Zhong Chu stretched his waist and yawned into the hall of Lingshuang Pavilion, but was startled by the way Long Xingtu was drooping his head and was sparse!
"What's wrong with you? Have you had nightmares and insomnia again?"
"No."
Long Xingtu supported his forehead with his left hand and held the spoon with his right hand, stirring the milk tea in front of him one after another, but he couldn't drink it in one sip.
Zhong Chu hurriedly reached out and then wondered, "Don't have a fever! Are you feeling uncomfortable in your body?"
Dragon Star Map gritted her teeth, "I'm so angry now that I just want to kill someone!"
When Zhong Chu heard this, he sat on the chair and was dumbfounded, "Who do you... do you want to kill? Which bastard is so brave that he dares to make our calm and self-controlled Master Long angry at this?"
"Your brother!" Long Xingtu's fists tightened and a cracked sound.
"Who?" Zhong Chu almost bit his tongue, "I...my brother? Could he be crazy?"
The incident in the early morning was really hard to say. The Dragon Star Map was confused for a few times and finally suppressed it silently, so that Zhong Chu would not be able to control his mouth and yell everywhere, and then her face would be gone!
Seeing the Dragon Star Map, he was about to say something but stopped, Zhong Chu rushed to the bedroom, "I'll go and settle the score with my brother!"
"A Chu!"
Long Xingtu hurriedly chased after him and pulled Zhong Chu back to the hall, "It's nothing, I'm just teasing you. Hurry up and have morning tea. We're going to Jingzhou Prefecture to perform a autopsy later!"
Zhong Chu was skeptical, "What a joke? I've never seen you so angry with my brother!"
"It's true!"
"All right."
After the two of them had breakfast, they had just left Lingshuang Pavilion and the four adults had arrived one after another.
Long Xingtu asked: "Mr. Zhao, can the arrangements be made there?"
"The coroner of the day had already been in the Jingzhou Prefecture Office." Mr. Zhao said: "Master Long, please!"
A group of people traveled on a carriage.
In the car, Long Xingtu took out his confession from last night and said, "According to the confession of the General Manager of the Technical Department, all performance props were strictly inspected before they were transported from the Ministry of Rites to the State Guesthouse, and there was no accident on the way. The mahogany box of the deceased was hidden. After the incident, it was identified later that it was not owned by the Technical Department, but was copied and packaged by someone! So, a problem arose, where was the person who originally needed to lie in the mahogany box to cooperate with the performance?"
"That man was named Agui, who was still in the backstage a quarter of an hour before he went on stage. Later, because there were many performers and there was no time to take care of him, no one paid attention to his whereabouts. When it was his turn to perform the "Great Change of Living Man", the mahogany box had been placed at the entrance and exit of the props. The person responsible for carrying the box thought Agui had already lie in the box, so he carried the box directly to the stage."
When the Dali Temple Minister said this, he sighed deeply: "Master Long, it was too late last night, so I didn't bother you. Agui disappeared. General Li sent someone to search overnight, but he has found nothing yet!"
Long Xingtu thought for a moment and said, "Is Agui a native of the capital?"
"At dawn this morning, I have verified it. After proofreading the household registration information provided by the Skills Department and the archives of the Ministry of Revenue, Agui's ancestral home is Fengyang, and he is 25 years old. He moved to the capital five years ago." said Mr. Zhao.
Long Xingtu was quite surprised, "Mr. Zhao is really conscientious and dedicated! When the case is solved, Long will definitely ask the emperor for the four masters!"
"If you can solve the case, Master Long is the first priority, and we are just the responsibility of the auxiliary." Mr. Zhao clasped his fists and was extremely humble and courteous.
Long Xingtu happily replied, "You are kind to you, Lord Zhao. Long doesn't care whether he is a meritorious or not. His life's wish is nothing but a peaceful and prosperous era. After this, Long will return to Wuyang County and continue to be my Master Xiaoyao!"
"Master Long is very talented, and he can take scientific examinations, or seek rewards for meritorious service, and can find a job and benefit the people. Why would he be willing to surrender to Du Mingcheng, a seventh-rank county magistrate?" The Dali Temple Minister did not understand very much, and the other three were also full of doubts.
Long Xingtu was silent for a moment and said, "For Long, it is better to be far away from the world than to live in the temple. Although Lord Du has a low official position, he is honest and honest in the world. If he does things under open-minded people, he will not be burdened. He does not have to worry about intrigues in the officialdom and can let go of his hands and feet to ask for justice for the people. How lucky he is!"
Hearing the Dali Temple Minister was inspired, "Indeed, compared to the smoky and chaotic officialdom in the capital, Du Mingcheng has the ability to give Master Long a pure land to make Master Long achieve his grand ambition!"
Mr. Zhao coughed lightly, turned his face and did not speak.
Seeing this, Long Xingtu pulled back the topic at the right time: "Justice Zhao just said that Agui's ancestral home is Fengyang? I wonder who is still alive at home?"
Mr. Zhao said: "Both parents die, there are no brothers and sisters, they are orphans."
Long Xingtu nodded and thoughtfully, "Did you know about General Ye Hai?"
"We don't know. Ye Hai is a member of the army and needs to know from the Ministry of War." After Dali Temple Minister finished speaking, he suddenly thought of someone, "By the way, General Li had fought with Fanbian several times in Qingyuguan. The general of Fanbian was Ye Hai. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. General Li must know Ye Hai's background."
"Okay, I get it."
"Master Long, but what is the connection between Agui and General Ye Hai?"
"Maybe there is, further verification is needed."
The carriage drove into the Jingzhou Prefecture Office and everyone headed straight to the morgue.
The prefect summoned the coroner, "Master Long, this is Liu Jiexiu who examined the autopsy for the anonymous."
A middle-aged thin man quickly saluted, "The villain has seen Master Long!"
"Liu Jun is not polite to do it. Can you tell me the results of the autopsy in detail?" Long Xingtu replied with a polite gift.
Liu Junzhu said: "After the first examination of the villain, the cause of death was a knife in the back, piercing the heart, and death. In addition, there were no other obvious scars on the body of the deceased."
"Is it a killing one knife?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, I'll look at the body."
Liu Luzuo uncovered the white cloth covering the deceased's body, and Long Xingtu looked at the blood-stained heart of the deceased and waved: "Come on, take off the deceased's clothes."
"Being able to kill with one knife and keep the center of the body means that the murderer has martial arts skills and is not low!" Zhong Chu analyzed and approached, "I also want to see the knife edge."
But as soon as she took a step, she covered her mouth and nose, "Oh, it smells so smelly!"
"The deceased was taken out of the bucket of water, and the smell was really bad. Miss Zhong might as well wait outside first." The Dali Temple Minister suggested.
Zhong Chu shook his head, "No, the star map has not left, how can I retreat first? I... Huh? This dead man looks so familiar!"
The Dragon Star Map was shocked, "Do you know me?"
