Chapter 240: Hanging on the old vine beam, before the torture
"Okay, before you go out in the morning, you don't have to tell all your investigation directions." Tie Laolian continued, "But after coming back in the evening, you have to summarize the situations collected that day, so that everyone will be more efficient."
When everyone heard Tie Laolian say this, they all expressed their compliments seriously.
To be honest, everyone can understand the meaning of this old man's words. Especially the last sentence, it can be said that the amount of information is too large. Shen Mo was thinking about the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but secretly admire the old man.
Then, naturally, everyone went back to rest and didn't mention it.
The next day it was dawn, and the rainy days of the days finally cleared. After breakfast, everyone scattered and began to solve the case according to their own ideas and ideas.
The sea is wide and the fish leaps, and the sky is high and the birds are flying!
When Shen Mo and Mo Xiaoluo walked out of the palace gate, the two of them resumed their own actions this time. Shen Mo only felt that Xiaoluo's mood seemed to have improved a lot.
Looking at the girl's light steps forward, Shen Mo was about to make a joke with her, but suddenly he saw a big willow tree outside the palace gate, and a figure flashed and disappeared.
Shen Mo pulled Mo Xiaoluo over. When he walked around the tree, he saw the little pelican leaning lazily on the tree, holding his shoulders, and looking at him with a smile.
The little pelican was about to speak, but saw Shen Mo throw his hand forward, and a large ingot of 50 taels of silver with a flashing light flew towards him.
He immediately hurriedly caught it with his hands, and then smiled and said to Shen Mo: "I am really worthy of being the headmaster! I am really as clear as a mirror, and I can't hide anything from you!"
"Stop doing this!" Shen Mo said with a smile: "What news should I take care of me today?"
"I just see Brother Chen, you are the best at doing things, so when you get news, I will tell you the first one." The little pelican said to Shen Mo:
"Yu Lao Teng is dead!"
"Ah?" Hearing this news, Shen Mo was stunned! "When did it happen?"
"I discovered this morning." When the little pelican said this, he shook his head and sighed. "Last time I made money from Wei Lao Teng, I thought to myself that I had time to buy some food for the old man to send it." The little pelican smashed his mouth with regret: "So I went as soon as the rain stopped this morning, but as soon as I entered his house, I saw the old man hanging on the beam of the house.
!”
"Hanged?" Shen Mo frowned again when he heard this: "Have you reported to the official?"
"Aren't I reporting to the official? I'm so impressed?" The little pelican shrugged and said, "As for reporting to other government agencies, let's save it! It's a lot of trouble to get me into this matter."
"In other words, no one has been there except you?" Shen Mo immediately pulled the little pelican and said, "Hurry up! Let's go over and take a look!"
The three of them hurriedly walked towards the small courtyard of the Wei Laoteng family. While rushing there, Shen Mo still thought to himself:
The 99-year-old birthday boy actually hanged to death? If I commit suicide, I will write my name upside down!
...
However, this matter is very strange. Wei Lao Teng actually doesn't know much about the inside story of this case.
What's more, Wei Lao Teng has already told Shen Mo and the others about the matter, and even showed them the book "Jiuzhou Qilan Tuan". In this case, it can be said that Wei Lao Teng is worthless to the case. What reason does he have to die?
When they arrived at Wei Laoteng's yard, Shen Mo carefully observed the traces in the yard while slowly approaching the cottage with them.
The strange flowers and plants in the middle of the yard are still blooming brightly, with flowers that have never been seen competing for beauty, and plants of various strange shapes are colorful.
While walking inside, Shen Mo turned around and asked the little pelican: "I wanted to ask last time I came here. Why didn't anyone steal so many strange flowers and plants here?"
The little pelican looked around carefully and said, "A lot of the flowers and plants here are eaten by Wei Lao Teng, which has the effect of nourishing and conditioning, but many of them are poisonous!"
"Don't look at the beautiful growth of these flowers and plants, but if you encounter any flower, your body will become ulcerated and pus, which is extremely itchy!"
"No one has ever stolen the flowers in Wei Lao Teng before, but after someone suffered a few losses, his reputation spread and no one dared to come again."
"So that's it!" Shen Mo was talking to the little pelican, while looking carefully at the yard and found that there was nothing unusual, so he stepped forward and slowly pushed open the door.
The room was low and dark, and the sunlight shone through the door that Shen Mo opened and the window paper covered on the window frame, giving a dim light inside the room.
The Wei Lao Teng was hung on the beam of the house by a rope, and a small stool under his feet was kicked aside. Seeing that his toes were about half a foot above the ground.
Shen Mo and the other three took off Wei Lao Teng. After he looked at the neck of the dead body, he immediately knew that Wei Lao Teng was strangled to death and hung it on the beam of the room!
Although the dead body's tongue was swollen and congested, it was exposed from its mouth, and his face was also purple with a rope. However, he was already dead before he was hung on the beam.
The one who hangs Wei Lao Teng is a hemp rope as thick as a finger. Now there are two marks on the neck that strangled the rope, one left by him when he hangs it. There is another one, but it intersects from behind his left and right ears and extends to the back of his head. This is the clear proof that he was strangled to death!
"What's missing in the house?" Shen Mo looked around and asked the little pelican.
"Nothing is missing, and there is no sign of being disrupted." The little pelican asked Shen Mo: "Did Old Man Wei commit suicide?"
At this time, Shen Mo had quickly searched the dead body's body, and then took off his clothes.
When Shen Mo was inspecting Wei Lao Teng, he was stunned for a moment when he lifted the arm of the body.
"Of course it's not suicide," Shen Mo raised his head and looked at the little pelican and said, "Not only was Wei Lao Teng killed, but he also went through severe torture before his death."
