Chapter 208: Strange Murder Case
"Ok?"
Only then did Shi Liancheng take a closer look at the "Xi Men Qing" in front of him.
In a trance, she suddenly felt that the "Xi Men Qing" at this moment was so handsome and had such an elegant temperament!
It's like a banished celestial being from heaven descending to earth, invaluable?
How is this going?
Although he had only seen Ximen Qing a few times from a distance before and had never looked at him closely.
But the opponent's WS's aura and appearance can be seen clearly from miles away!
Disgusting!
But now that I look at it up close, why is there such a huge difference? !
Could it be that I had misjudged it before?
"Miss Smith?"
Just as Shi Liancheng was immersed in Jiang You's deep eyes and handsome face, Jiang You reminded her.
"Ah...I'm sorry...I lost my composure..."
Shi Liancheng came back to his senses and said hurriedly in shame.
Next, Shi Liancheng invited Jiang You into his house and told him the whole story!
It turned out that according to the officer who came to detain Shi Xiaolian,
Late last night, a bizarre murder occurred inside and outside the building!
Several girls, old ladies, and guests in the building were brutally murdered!
And there was no unusual noise coming out!
This morning, the people cleaning the building outside the building,
I saw unusual blood seeping through the door crack, and then I discovered that there was a dead person inside!
Then, the people from the government arrived and took a look at the situation, and concluded:
These people were killed overnight, and no one asked for help. Moreover, there were no signs of the doors of the rooms where the incident occurred being pried open, so there must be a traitor inside or outside the building!
Moreover, the insider has a very high status, so he was able to send other patrolling people away to commit the crime!
Therefore, Shi Xiaolian, one of the owners of Louwailou, was hastily identified as one of the masterminds and was then arrested by officials from the yamen!
"Well... just based on this little evidence... Shi Xiaolian was arrested...
It is obvious that County Magistrate Wu is taking advantage of the situation to make a fuss...
But the murder case does sound strange... uh... and Hua Zixu and Yang Zongxi, I wonder if they suffered last night?
It seems that I still have to go to the county government office~"
After listening to Shi Liancheng's words, Jiang You thought about it for a while~
Then, he comforted Liancheng first, and then secretly left Nie Xiaoqian, Xiao Xie and Qiu Rong to protect her in case of any accidents.
Jiang You himself left the Shi Mansion and went to the county government office...
.........
After arriving at the county government office, Jiang You was treated as a distinguished guest, and County Magistrate Wu even went out to greet him personally!
After all, the Ximen family is the big financial backer of County Magistrate Wu!
The Ximen family and the Wu family will have a marriage!
In addition, the "Zhuang Yong" force of the Ximen family is full of martial virtues, and the martial virtues of the Qinghe County government cannot compare to them!
Not to mention that many people in the imperial barracks stationed nearby were actually receiving "paychecks" from the Ximen family!
Even last night, "Xi Men Qing" had the identity of "disciple of the immortal"!
So how dare the county government not treat "Xi Men Qing" as a guest of honor?
Besides, in fact, it is certainly against the rules for the Ximen family to keep Zhuang Yong and collude with the county government and nearby military camps!
However, the imperial court in this world is now in a mess, with internal and external troubles, and all kinds of chaos are happening frequently...
It’s really hard to describe!
The soldiers in the Qinghe County government and the nearby barracks would not even have enough food to eat without the Ximen family's support!
This gave the Ximen family the opportunity to become local tyrants here!
"Hua Zixu, Yang Zongxi, Qiao Danian, Wang Huacheng............"
Not long after arriving at the county government office, Jiang You already had the death list of last night's murder case in his hands~
Jiang You browsed through it and picked out a few people he knew.
It goes without saying who Hua Zixu and Yang Zongxi were, but these two poor guys died in the end.
Qiao Danian and Wang Huacheng were the male lead and male second in the original story of Liancheng.
This time, they were also wiped out. They actually took the initiative to give way to Jiang You~
At this moment, Jiang You also realized that they had also gone to Louwailou last night~
According to the original work, one of them is a talented scholar, and the other is the son of a wealthy businessman. This is unexpected, but reasonable.
"Oh, nephew, this time our chance has come!
I just got the news last night...the Shi family's backer in Bian Jing...is gone!
Haha! Just in time! Last night, that kind of thing happened again on his property!
Hehehe...this time, you're going to help us achieve our goal, right?
Ahahahahaha......."
When Jiang You was looking at the death list, County Magistrate Wu was smiling like a flower.
"No wonder you came up with such a far-fetched reason to arrest Shi Xiaolian with such few clues.
It turns out that his backstage support is gone......"
Jiang You complained in his heart when he heard this, but on the surface he was gentle and polite and tried to test the other party:
"Uncle... this opportunity... is indeed a good opportunity... but...
The person's backer just fell, and you arranged this murder...
Isn't that... a bit risky?
What's more...Hua Zixu and Yang Zongxi are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers!
You want to find someone to use as a cushion, but you don't need to operate on them, right?"
"Ah?" When Magistrate Wu heard "Xi Men Qing"'s words, he was stunned at first, then he immediately reacted, his whole body trembled, and he said repeatedly,
"Oh! Nephew! Don't let your imagination run wild! The murder was not arranged by me, your uncle!
I was just taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, and adding insult to injury!"
"Oh! Uncle... Do you think it's fun to lie to me? We are almost a family~"
Jiang You pretended to complain and continued to test him.
"Besides...even if we kill Brother Hua and Brother Yang...as long as it is beneficial to our plan to make money, let's kill them!"
"Oh my! What? It really wasn't me!" Magistrate Wu was anxious.
"If you don't believe me, come with me to see the body!
Once you see this, you will know that this is definitely not something I arranged for anyone to do!"
"Oh? We can find out by looking at the corpse?" Jiang You raised his eyebrows curiously, "Then I really want to see it!"
"Come! Come! Come! My dear nephew! I will take you to see it right away!" County Magistrate Wu did not hesitate after hearing this, and immediately pulled Jiang You away!
When they arrived at the coroner's "autopsy room", County Magistrate Wu was standing at the door with a look on his face that said "I don't want to go in".
But he opened the door and signaled Jiang You to come in freely!
When the coroner who was working inside saw Magistrate Wu bringing "Xi Men Qing" in, he hurriedly stopped his work and came out to greet him.
"Alright! Alright! No need to be so polite here!
Quickly take Master Ximen in to see the bodies from last night!"
Magistrate Wu covered his nose and gave instructions to the coroner in a hurry.
So, under the guidance of the coroner, Jiang You soon saw the "corpses" of Hua Zixu and others in the house filled with a foul smell!
To be precise, it is "part of the corpse"!
"Master Ximen, when the body was discovered, the rest of the body was missing!
And judging from the wounds, the deceased seemed to have been torn apart by some animal with enormous strength!
But there were no signs of a fight at the crime scene!
We suspect that they were drugged before they died...
But...after previous inspections, we did not find any drugs on them...
It’s just very strange…”
So the coroner gave Jiang You a general account of the autopsy results.
