Detective in the Red Chamber

"Of course, this so-called exception is only under the condition that the exterior is intact. If it breaks after the impact, it will naturally drop powder."

"So the texture of this murder weapon should be quite hard."

"There is no river near Wumiao Street, so it is obviously unrealistic to find pebbles and other stones on the spot - not to mention that if the murder weapon is a pebble, the murderer does not need to take it away."

"So, the murder weapon must be a stone artifact that can reveal the murderer's identity and has been washed and played with for a long time."

Stone artifacts that can reveal the murderer's identity and have been replayed and played with for a long time?

When everyone heard this, and then contacted Sun Shaozong's weird behavior just now, the two words were ready to come out of their mouths!

"Inkstone!"

The one who spit out these two words in the first place was naturally Qiu Yunfei, who had no taboos. He said excitedly, "It's the inkstone, right?! That's why you took that junk thing and used it to fill it up when you come!"

"exactly!"

Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "I had suspected at the time that the murder weapon might be an inkstone—but under normal circumstances, who would carry an inkstone around in the middle of the night?"

"Could it be that he wanted to use the inkstone as a murder weapon from the beginning?"

"I'm afraid this is unlikely?"

"So, the murderer came out with the inkstone, there must be something else, for example..."

"I see!"

Qiu Yunfei yelled again, "He stole the master's inkstone and wanted to sell it to others!"

"That's right!"

Sun Shaozong said, pointing to the position he had just taken, and said, "A profiteer who is not very serious, and a servant of a rich family, the two of them sneaked together in this restaurant, just to steal and sell the owner's family. 'Inkstone'."

"What Xu Shengli saw was the current situation."

"However, just after Xu Shengli greeted the regular customers and entered the elegant room of the Class A, an accident happened suddenly—the boy suddenly bumped into an acquaintance, that is, the deceased Pan You'an!"

"Pan You'an arrived at the restaurant at 08:30 p.m. on the second quarter of Maozheng. It took about two quarters of an hour to nine o'clock in the first day of Haichu. Since he was using wine to relieve his worries, the half-kilo rice wine sold in the store would take two quarters of an hour. It's almost time to finish drinking."

"That's why Pan You'an poked his head out, probably because he wanted to greet the waiter for a drink, but he never wanted to bump into the waiter!"

"Pan You'an should be quite familiar with that boy, so he didn't bother thinking much, and he saw the tricks between the two of them."

"Seeing that the matter was exposed, the young man hurriedly chased into the private room, begged softly at first, and then began to intimidate - this is exactly the quarrel that Liu Tiezhu vaguely heard after returning upstairs. "

"When Liu Tiezhu went downstairs to order food in the kitchen again, the boy and Pan Youan broke up unhappy, and didn't dare to stay to deal with profiteers, so they hurriedly left Huiyun Building with the inkstone."

"So in Liu Tiezhu's impression, the profiteer was always alone; Xu Shengli thought that the boy had been doing business together."

"At this point, it should have come to an end."

"But after the boy left Huiyun Tower, he was in a panic. Maybe he wanted to negotiate with Pan You'an again so that Pan You'an would not expose what he had done."

"Or, he was already ready to kill him at that time!"

"Anyway, when it was midnight, Pan You'an got drunk and wandered out of Huiyun Building, and the boy followed after him."

"Seeing that there was no one around, in order to cover up his act of 'stealing and selling the master's property', the servant started to smash Pan You'an to death with an inkstone at the entrance of the alley, then threw the body into the alley, and fled in a hurry!"

"And then, around dawn, someone discovered Pan You'an's body, but he didn't choose to report it to the police, but stole the property from the body, which caused a misjudgment of 'murder and robbery'."

Hearing Sun Shaozong's eloquence, it was as if he had witnessed the murder with his own eyes.

However, all the details and clues used in it were all checked out under the eyes of everyone, making people feel as if they can do the same as long as they work hard.

But everyone present was a police officer, so why didn't they know the difficulty of cracking this "headless murder case"?

The more you compare it with the previous cases, Sun Shaozong's ability to see the truth in the details, and connect and complete all kinds of clues, the more magical and unattainable.

I'm afraid that even if they work hard for three lifetimes, they may not be able to catch up!

"Every time the adult's deduction is heard, the little one is amazed!"

After all, Zhao Wuwei had been with Sun Shaozong the longest, so he was the first to react. Hearing his flattering sound, Jiang Laoqi and the others suddenly realized that there is a rush of flattery when they are too busy.

"Well, there is no need to say these useless words."

Sun Shaozong waved his hand, and said, "Qiu Jianxiao, Zhao Butou, Jiang Butou, you three bring Xu Shengli and come with me to point out the serious murderer."

"Are you serious?!"

Jiang Laoqi couldn't help exclaiming, "Master, do you already know who the real culprit is?!"

slap~

Before Sun Shaozong could answer, Qiu Yunfei slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded angrily, "You are a pig's brain?! Then Pan You'an is young and works as a book boy in the mansion gate. Where can he meet outsiders?" ?”

"Even if he really knows a few, he can't take care of his own affairs, and he still cares about other people's private affairs?!"

After being yelled at by him a few times, Jiang Laoqi finally opened his eyes, widened his eyes and said, "So the murderer... the murderer is also from the Rongguo Mansion?!"

"Yes."

Sun Shaozong firmly said, "The murderer must also be a servant of the Rongguo Mansion!"

Chapter 268

But he said that Sun Shaozong brought people to the Rongguo mansion, and looking for Jia Lian to tell the cause and effect, only to hear that Jia Lian was surprised and annoyed.

What was surprising was that in such a short period of time, there were so many demon kings who murdered and robbed him. Just thinking about it, he felt a chill down his spine.

The annoyance is that he just 'received' that Pan You'an recently, and he thought it would be perfect, but unexpectedly there was a rumor of 'licking the ditches'!

Because of the seriousness of the matter, Jia Lian immediately ordered all the young servants in the mansion to gather in the front yard, so that Xu Shengli could identify each one clearly.

After the news spread, the young servants at the side rushed to the front yard, but one of them didn't advance but retreated, and got into the relatives' hospital in a panic.

He stumbled along the way and asked everyone he met, and when he found the peach grove next to the Qinfang Gate Bridge, he saw a boy and a girl in a corner, talking and laughing with a flower hoe.

"Second Master!"

The young man let out a heart-piercing cry, then flew over and knocked his head on the ground, shrugged his shoulders, and howled like a mourner, "For the sake of the old love, please save me!" !"

That boy was Jia Baoyu.

Baoyu was startled by the visitor, and took half a step back in a panic, her feet softened, only to realize that she accidentally stepped on sister Lin's "flower tomb".

He hastily said 'offended' to Huazhong a few times, and then angrily scolded, "Mingyan! Are you suffering from a panic attack? There are many sisters living in this yard now. If you accidentally bump into that one, you will be punished." Why?!"

Because the concubine Xiande in the palace passed on the decree, saying that the provincial hospital cost a huge amount of money, and it was a pity that it was abandoned. Baochai and other sisters were asked to move in, and Baoyu was also ordered to live in and study quietly.

So on February 22, except for Jia Yingchun who was waiting to marry, all the Yingying and Yanyan moved in, so Jia Baoyu only said this now.

But Mingyan is very anxious at this time, but how can she have the time to think about this?

He hurriedly reached out and hugged Jia Baoyu's ankle, rubbed his nose and tears up, and cried out, "Second Master, my Second Master! Mingyan has been with you for so many years, even if there is no credit, there is some hard work, right? I know that the second master is the most kind-hearted, and I ask the second master to be merciful and save me from death!"

When Jia Baoyu heard him shouting 'help' just now, he thought that this guy lost his money again and wanted to help him pay off the debt, but looking at it now, it seems that it is not the same thing.

If it was changed before, and Mingyan pleaded for a few words, Jia Baoyu would probably agree first without asking indiscriminately.

But after going through so many things in the past year, Jia Baoyu no longer has a memory, and he is no longer as frizzy as before.

So he just lowered his face and scolded, "Could it be that you have caused some trouble again? If I tell the truth, I might still help you, if there is some deception..."

"Don't dare to lie to the second master!"

Mingyan raised her head, and said with aggrieved face, "Last night, my friend and I had dinner at Huiyun Building on Wumiao Street, but unexpectedly bumped into Pan You'an in the second master Lian's room."

"That Pan You'an relied on the favor of the second master Lian, and saw that I had lost power, so he humiliated me in every possible way!"

"Not only that, he also..."

"How can he do it?"

When Jia Baoyu heard this, he felt a little unhappy. Although Mingyan was demoted to work as a handyman because of the 'fraud in another courtyard' case, the relationship between master and servant accumulated over the years can be broken at any rate. of?

It is wrong that he still regards Mingyan as one of his own in his heart, based on what he has done these days, Jia Baoyu should have expelled him from the Rongguo Mansion long ago, why would he help him pay off his debts again and again?

Therefore, when he heard that Mingyan was "bullyed and humiliated" by others, Baoyu felt a little "sorrowful for the death of the rabbit".

Mingyan was originally a monkey who crawled along the pole, and seeing Jia Baoyu's face was a little annoyed, he immediately said angrily, "He drank a few more cups of yellow soup, and then brought up the trouble in the school, saying that I was with you. That little Mr. Qin, who loves to lick the ditches, was so arrogant and domineering back then, but now he is dead and useless..."

"what?!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jia Baoyu's face had already changed. Qin Zhong's death was a thorn in his heart, not to mention the word "licking the ditches" clearly alluded to the fact that the two of them broke their sleeves and shared their love. relation!

How could he tolerate such words in front of Lin Daiyu? !

Immediately, he became furious, and there were dirty words in his mouth, "This little woman raised such nonsense, doesn't it mean that she wants to die?!"

"Isn't it!"

Ming Yan's singing and writing were excellent and he exclaimed, "The villain was also very annoyed at the time, and he was still not relieved when he left the Huiyun Tower, so he turned back and wanted to find him to discuss the theory carefully."

"Who knows that guy is still spitting out obscene words! What kind of nonsense about breaking his ass and opening the pier, planting on me and Mr. Qin..."

Jia Baoyu was furious when he heard this, and was waiting for Mingyan to call for Pan You'an to clean up this ugly thing!

Who would have thought that Ming Yan continued, "I couldn't listen anymore, so I started tearing up with him, never would have thought that... I accidentally beat him to death with a brick!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like pouring a bucket of ice water on his head.

Jia Baoyu shuddered and was stunned for a while, before hesitatingly asked, "You... what did you just say?"

"I accidentally... accidentally killed him."

Mingyan said, with snot and tears streaming down her face, she cried and begged, "Now that the servants from Shuntian Mansion have come to the door, the villain really can't help it, so I can only ask Second Lord to save me!"

As he said that, he knocked his head between Jia Baoyu's legs, and said without a word in his mouth, "I also want to teach him a lesson to protect the reputation of the second master, and I definitely don't mean to kill him! Second Master, Second Master, I am doing this for you..."

Knowing that this guy actually provoked a life lawsuit, Jia Baoyu just let it go, but hearing him cry and say that he accidentally made such a big mistake in order to protect his reputation, Jia Baoyu hesitated for a while.

"I'll ask you."

At this time, Lin Daiyu, who had been watching with cold eyes, suddenly asked with a straight face, "Pan You'an you are talking about, but the cousin who plays chess in Second Sister's room?"

Knowing that Jia Baoyu always listened to Daiyu the most, Mingyan naturally didn't dare to neglect her, and hurriedly nodded and said, "It's that guy!"

"That's not right."

Lin Daiyu twisted her handkerchief and said with a sneer, "I have some impressions of that man. He is usually the most timid and kind-hearted person. Only others bully him, and he never bullies anyone else!"

Hearing what Daiyu said, Jia Baoyu couldn't help feeling suspicious.

So he thought for a while, and found some loopholes, "Since you came out of the Huiyun Tower before him, you should wait until today to report to me, so why go back and fight with him alone?"

The more I said it, the more I felt it was wrong, this Mingyan has always been a gossiper, there is absolutely no reason to let his backer be used, and go back to show some bravery.

So Jia Baoyu shouted again in a deep voice, "Your words are not entirely true, how much is true and how much is false? Do you think I am easy to deceive?!"

How did Mingyan know that Sun Shaozong had already reasoned out his "stealing and selling inkstones" and only wanted to fool Jia Baoyu into his role and save himself from the death penalty.

Right now, Lin Daiyu pointed out the flaws, and then Jia Baoyu sternly reprimanded him. Obviously, this trick of confounding black and white can no longer be fooled. He was terrified, but at the same time, anger grew from his heart to his guts!

"It's all your fault!"

He hugged Jia Baoyu's legs violently, and pulled them viciously into his arms, causing Jia Baoyu to lose his footing, and fell to sit on the flower mound.

Immediately after that, Mingyan jumped back into his body again, riding on Jia Baoyu's waist, strangled Jia Baoyu's neck with both hands, and roared ferociously, "It's all your fault! If you didn't drive me out to suffer poverty, Is there any need for me to steal an inkstone?!"

"If I don't sell that inkstone, how can I meet Pan You'an?!"

"It's you, it's you, it's you! It's all your fault!"

"I'm desperate to die today, and I'll hold you back!"

The resentment he had accumulated for a long time burst out all at once, how could it be compared with Jia Baoyu, a young man with a delicate skin and tender flesh?

No matter how Jia Baoyu struggled, the ten fingers on the neck were still pinching tighter and tighter. Seeing Jia Baoyu's struggle weakened, he was about to die of breath!

At this moment, a small flower hoe suddenly fell on the head, and the hoe was on the back of Mingyan's neck, and even if it shoveled, blood and flesh flew everywhere!

Chapter 269

"Ah~!!!"

Seeing Mingyan clutching his neck and rolling over and over on the ground howling miserably, it was difficult to stop the blood gushing out.

Lin Daiyu's little face turned pale with fright, and her whole body became soft as if she had lost all bones. The small flower pick in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and it was difficult to hold it!

But she still held on to the hoe firmly, smoking the tea smoke vigilantly, lest he jump up again and hurt Baoyu.

However, this worry is obviously unnecessary.
