Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"Come and see." Wen Tao called Tang Wuyi.Although Tang Wuyi didn't like looking at the internal organs of dead people very much, he still took a few serious glances.

Wen Tao cut open the lung and examined it carefully: "No."

"Then he died in the fire?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"It should be. Last time, didn't you say that the people who died in the fire generally died of suffocation from the smoke?" Wen Tao said while checking the mouth and nose of the deceased, and said a little confused, "But there is no black smoke in her mouth and nose. .”

"That's not surprising, she should have been washed after soaking in the water for so long."

Wen Tao nodded: "It should be due to suffocation. You see, her chest and neck are so severely burned. If it was burned before she was alive, she would try to avoid it as much as possible."

"Well, probably after she died of suffocation, some burning ship deck or beam hit her, causing such severe burns." Tang Wuyi said.

"It should look like this, the whole neck is scorched, it's too miserable." Wen Tao said a little bit unbearably.

At this moment, a maid outside the door ordered them to attend the luncheon.They cleaned their hands and walked to the Zhongcui Hall where the luncheon was held.

When the two arrived, the left and right rows of the Zhongcui hall were already full of guests, and the king of Qi sat in the upper seat.The two saluted King Qi and the crowd, and sat down too.

Fangzhu Chu said at this time: "Dear guests, this oiran ceremony is a grand event, and I would like to thank you all for coming here. Unexpectedly, there was a disturbance on the ground and disturbed you yesterday. Today, I specially hold a banquet to apologize to everyone." Fangzhu Chu drank by himself a cup.

King Qi waved his hands and said, "Master Chu, I heard that something happened to Mrs. Huakui in Xifang last night, and another murder happened this morning. What's going on?"

The guests were also discussing for a while.

Master Chu Fang said: "This is also the second reason why we invited you here. As you all saw with your own eyes last night, the lady's flower boat in Xifang caught fire for no reason, and the boat was destroyed. The lady also died in the room."

"What? The lady of Dongfang is also dead?" Most of the guests didn't know about this, and they were horrified at this moment.

"It's not easy for us to stand in Dongfang. I'm really sorry for bringing all the nobles into this incident." Chu Fangzhu lowered his eyes, showing grief, "After thinking for a long time, I came up with a perfect plan. When the accident happened yesterday, Dongdu The master of the pavilion, Mr. Tang, happened to be there too."

When Tang Wuyi heard that he was mentioned, he got up and made a bow.

Fangzhu Chu continued: "We specifically asked Dongdu Pavilion to take over this matter. As we all know, Dongdu Pavilion is under the jurisdiction of the Shence Mansion and has always had a good reputation in the world. I heard that the case of Guiyun Villa was just solved not long ago. Let the matter be handed over to Dongdu Pavilion, I think everyone can rest assured."

King Qi nodded and said, "Everyone, this king is absolutely at ease with Pavilion Master Tang. This matter is tricky, Tang Yue, what do you want to say?"

Tang Wuyi said: "Everyone must have heard that the case that our Dongdu Pavilion took over must have all the witnesses and material evidence, and all the criminals are also dealt with by the Dongdu Pavilion. There are many people involved in this case. It's either rich or expensive, and it's very difficult for the government to take over. If everyone has no objection, the matter will be handled by Dongdu Pavilion, and Tang will give you an explanation within five days. During these five days, I will trouble everyone to stay in Yangzhou temporarily. If Tang has any questions, please bear with me."

Tang Wuyi spoke very modestly in this call, no matter whether it was the court officials or the martial arts people in the field, they all nodded and said: "It should be so. Pavilion Master Tang can ask any questions at any time."

Tang Wuyi signaled Wen Tao to get up again, and said, "This is Wen Daochang, a disciple of the Taoist priest Qingxuzi of the Kunlun School, and it was he who helped Tang solve the case of Guiyun Villa. Daoist and Tang will investigate together, and I believe the truth will come to light soon."

Everyone knows that Kunlun is the authentic school of martial arts, and they have seen Wen Tao's elegant appearance, so they have no objection.

So at the moment, the guest of honor was peaceful, and Fangzhu Chu and Fufangzhu Jiang finally gave up their hearts.

During the banquet, Tang Wuyi told the owner of Chufang that although the guests could not restrict his movements, all people from Dongfang must stay in the Jin Garden these days and not leave the garden.Fangzhu Chu hurriedly said, several exits have already been guarded, please rest assured Tang Wuyi.In order to make it easier for the two to investigate the case, Fangzhu Chu gave them Fangfei Pavilion in Jinyuan to live in.

After the banquet, Tang Wuyi and Wen Tao returned to Fangfei Pavilion.

As soon as Wen Tao sat down, he found a pen and paper and began to draw a tree diagram.He frowned from time to time, scribbling and drawing, and finally seemed to come to an end.

"How?" Tang Wuyi asked.

"The first question is whether the two murder cases are connected." Wen Tao pointed to the two forks and said, "If the two cases are not connected, it can be divided into two situations: First, the case of Danfeng and Bai Niangzi was an accident , the case of Mrs. Cuiyun was murder, and the murderer who murdered Mrs. Cuiyun probably took advantage of the chaos after the fire broke out; secondly, both cases were murders, but the first one was made into an accident. In this case, The murderer who murdered Mrs. Cuiyun also took advantage of the chaos. If the two cases are related, or even the same murderer, then this person first planned to kill Mrs. Danfeng Bai, and then took advantage of the chaos of the first case to kill Mrs. Cuiyun. If this is the case, will he (she) continue to kill people?" Wen Tao explained clearly.

Tang Wuyi said: "The murder weapon in Mrs. Cuiyun's case was the pipa string she used herself. It can be seen that the murderer may not have prepared the murder tool. If this is the case, when the first case is in chaos, he will kill Cuiyun on the spur of the moment. The lady is more likely."

Wen Tao thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, the silk string was cut off with a sharp weapon, why didn't he just use a sharp weapon to kill people? Besides, when did the murderer kill Mistress Cuiyun? It was during Danfeng White Lady's performance. Is it still in the chaos after the fire? We'd better investigate the whereabouts of Mrs. Cuiyun and Mrs. Danfengbai that day."

Tang Wuyi smiled and said: "That's natural. This is my business." He stretched his waist and said, "I, Dongdu Pavilion, is about to go out."

"Who are you going to ask?"

"Let's start with the two maids."

"Then can I go and listen?" Wen Tao suddenly changed his begging tone.

Tang Wuyi's torture has always been one-on-one in a relatively small room, which can give enough psychological pressure to the interrogated.If you bring a person, the attention of the person who may be interrogated will be distracted.Tang Wuyi was a little confused: "You can read the transcript."

Wen Tao repeated his old trick, using the Dafa of asking for help: "Brother Tang, I really want to hear it too." His face was full of hope.

Tang Wuyi closed his eyes and sighed: "Okay, but you must be behind the screen, and there must be no noise."

"Naturally." Wen Tao doggedly said.
