The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 657: Gap and night

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The dim and obscure lights slowly wandered in the corridor. Under the dim light, the red beams on both sides couldn't help converging the celebration, creating a shallow desolation.

At the same time, a murmur like a whisper, amidst the whirling wind, groaning intermittently

"Death...injustice...corpse...death...in life...right!"

The light suddenly stopped, and a little high, it reflected a majestic and mighty man, but he was not Sun Erye, who had just returned home from the scene of the crime, who else could it be?

Seeing him turning away from the corridor, he rushed to the lower courtyard near the left. When he got closer, he didn't bother to raise his hand and knock on the door, and only shouted into the inside: "Zhao Nan! Zhao Nan!"

But it turns out that he just walked and reasoned about the case, and suddenly remembered the promise of Liu Xianglian, so he went here to explain it to avoid further delay.

After shouting two or three times, he heard Zhao Nan respond in a panic. He followed the soles of his feet and slapped the bluestone slabs, but he didn't even care about wearing his shoes, so he hurriedly greeted them.

Seeing Zhao Nan rushing out with disheveled clothes, Sun Shaozong's face sank instead, and he scolded, "How can I get frizzy? If there are female relatives present, how can I get it?"

"Damn the villain!"

Then Zhao Nan knelt down with a thump in front of the door, walked a few steps with his knees to the front, grabbed the tunnel with his head, and said, "Please, master, please punish me."

"Don't pretend to be pitiful."

Sun Shaozong raised his foot and hooked his shoulder, helped the boy straighten his back, and said straightforwardly: "Ming'er, you will go directly to Dali Temple to find Liu Xianggong, and he will arrange his own errands for you."

In these days, Zhao Nan didn’t have any serious errands except for helping roasting venison. He panicked in his early morning. At this moment, when he heard this, he could not help but kowtow again and again: "Thank you for your praise, thank you Lord praise!"

"Go back to sleep."

Sun Shaozong flicked his sleeves and left without a word.

Then Zhao Nan kept kowtow, until the light disappeared at the corner, and then ran from the ground, shivering and flying back into the house.

Touching the dark and supporting the wall to the north end of Datong Kang, he was about to rub off the dirt on the soles of his feet, and then got into the hot bed. Suddenly someone next to him asked: "Manzi, what did the second master just call you for?"

Hearing the word'manzi', Zhao Nan was very unhappy, but he pretended to have a silly smile and said unsatisfactorily: "It's nothing, the master sees that I still recognize a few words, so he ordered me to be a willow in the office. The son's helper."

The questioner was silent immediately.

But when Zhao Nan rustled into the quilt, I didn’t know who was cursing on the Datong bunk: "Rite mother’s, even a barbarian crawled on top of us..."

Before long, the curse stopped abruptly.

The shadowy shadows were so beautiful, they heard someone scolding: "Second Master's orders...Don't get tired if you don't want to live..."

Zhao Nan covered his head in the quilt, sneered a few times with disdain, turned his face and muttered something silently: ‘Yidi and Huaxia, then Huaxia’s, carefully arranged the collar into a right gusset.

…………

It was said that Sun Shaozong left the people's residence, but did not return to his own courtyard, but went to the study to rest alone.

Not to mention that I have just touched a dead person, after all, I am a little unlucky. From the perspective of hygiene, I should wash myself before contacting my wife, concubine, and children.

After hitting the well water and repeatedly rubbing his hands and face with Xiangyizi, he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

There was a lonely pillow on the left and right, and there was still some distance from the ion night. Sun Shaozong simply lit two butter candles with thin arms, spread out the four treasures of the study, and continued to consider the two poisonous killings that occurred today.

There are many similarities between these two cases, but there are also many differences.

The same is that Wang Baochang, like Wei Bantou, died in a remote house rented by others, and the method of death was almost the same as Wei Bantou, all of which were killed by poisonous insects placed in the box in advance.

The difference is that Wang Baochang’s poison is very different from Wei Bantou, and it is almost impossible to come from the same poisonous insect.

In addition, Wang Baochang had no burn marks left by the ceremony.

Then there is...

After transcribing the common and the differences between the two parties on paper, the next step is to confirm the doubts and clues in the known information.

First of all, the two yards were rented a few months ago, but according to the confession of the neighbors, they have always been vacant, and no one has ever been in or out.

The two courtyards were rented at the same time, and they were both left vacant for several months. Are they always ready to kill people?

Sun Shaozong mentioned this strange point long ago.

Therefore, Zhao Wuwei, Governor Qi and others are now working overtime to search the two houses to see if there are other clues.

Another doubtful point is how they died.

It is now the third day of October in the lunar calendar, and there are still three days before the official start of winter. However, because of a heavy snowfall a few days ago, the temperature in Beijing has actually entered winter ahead of schedule.

In this weather, even if the insects are not hibernating, they should be completely frozen and temporarily set up as murder traps, fearing it will be extremely difficult.

And there are many ways to kill people, why have to use poisonous insects?

The only reasonable explanation is that the murderer has been raising this thing, even taking advantage of the geothermal heat to maintain the activities of the poisonous insects in the winter.

As for the purpose of doing this...

Perhaps it has similarities with the later generations of a master surnamed Wang.

However, Master Wang is just looking for money, and the current master of poisonous insects is looking for money and killing without delay.

Then there is...

Knock knock~

Sun Shaozong was repeating the scrutiny, but when he heard a knock on the door outside, he couldn't help frowning.

At the beginning, in order to carry out the six chaos in southern Xinjiang, I once explained to the servants in the mansion that the study was the place where the most important official duties were handled. Except for the cheap brother, others were not allowed to approach at will.

Which one of those blindfolders broke the rules?

Sun Shaozong got up displeased and went outside, and asked through the door panel, but he heard Zhao Zhongji say with caution: "I didn't dare to disturb the second master, but this suddenly sent a letter from the north. The younger one was afraid of delaying business. ,only……"

Crunch~

Before he finished speaking, Sun Shaozong opened the courtyard door and said, "Where is the letter? Show me!"

According to the original plan, in a few days, the Shenji Battalion led by Sun Shaozu should complete the drill and return to the capital.

Suddenly brought in a letter from the family, is it possible that there is something wrong?

Thinking about this, Sun Shaozong didn't even bother to open the seal. He pulled the cover off, shook the letter paper, and instructed Zhao Zhongji to pick up the lantern, and then swept the outline at a glance. This was a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Sun Shaozu stated in the letter that because of a heavy snow a few days ago, the Heishui Mohe was hit by a disaster, so he sent people to looting in Dazhou.

Because those Mohe were very brave in field battles, the guards of the Great Zhou mostly guarded the gate.

Only Sun Shaozu was happy when he saw the hunt. He took hundreds of people under him and set up an ambush in the narrow and long place. He severely injured one of the barbarians and captured the grandson of a leader of the tribe.

After that, Sun Shaozu led a team to retreat to Shanhaiguan, while sending people to the capital to report victory. To be precise, he asked for more teams of Shenji battalions to continue the anti-sweeping campaign.

Look at what this means. Before the beginning of spring next year, I am afraid that he will not return to Beijing.

Of course, these are mainly for the court, and it is just a incidental mention in the family book.

The real key point in the home letter is actually to imply that Sun Shaozong should stay a little longer, at least wait until he comes back, and then continue to work hard for reproduction with Jia Yingchun, so as not to be peeped of obvious flaws.

After reading the family letter, Sun Shaozong was quite speechless. He put it in his sleeves and ordered Zhao Zhongji to prepare some food. When they were sent to the study, he also used it briefly with Liu Xianglian and Wang Zhen, but because he had been discussing the case, he only ate one. It's half full.

I didn't feel anything when I first returned home, but I was really hungry right now.

Back in the room, Sun Shaozong took out the book, scanned it under the lamp twice, confirmed that he hadn't missed any useful information, and set it on fire and burned into a pile of fly ash.

As soon as the pile of ashes was disposed of, I heard a knock on the door outside.

"Come in, the door is unlocked!"

Sun Shaozong responded with a probe, and saw that two little maids were walking in front of the courtyard with lanterns. A tall and plump Meijiao lady was carrying a food box behind her, but it was the second sister You who had just suffered a leg injury.

She hurried a few steps to the front, first bowed to Sun Shaozong and said Wanfu, then turned around and ordered the two maids to be outside, and then she carried the food box in.

Seeing the second sister You put the food box on the round table, she started to prepare the dishes. Sun Shaozong couldn't help but wondered: "I asked Zhao Zhongji to pass the meal, but why did it get to you?"

"Sister Rong had already prepared the small kitchen for the master, and the slave was just using it to borrow flowers and present the Buddha, and then take the opportunity to ask the master for some housework."

As the second sister You said, she first offered a pair of ivory chopsticks with both hands, then poured a glass of 30-year-old shochu, and placed it in front of Sun Shaozong.

Sun Shaozong picked up the hot and sour dried bamboo shoots, then took a sip of the shochu, and then smiled and asked, "Is there any housework that your sister Rong can't handle. You have to ask me to share it at night?"

"This..."

Second Sister You pulled the veil pretentiously, and said, "Sister Xiangling interceded for Caixia, and Sister Rong also agreed and discussed that she should be placed in my room."

Having said this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "The slave is not unwilling, the Lord is so spirited, and Nu Zhengchou does not have a sister to share one or two! It's just..."

She twisted it to Sun Shaozong's ear~lightnovelpub.net~ and whispered a few words.

Sun Shaozong laughed dumbfounded when he heard it, and took her backhand in his arms, jokingly: "You are a'greedy'! Don't hesitate, the Lord will bother to give it to you!"

Sister You was overjoyed when she heard that, she hurriedly pressed her lips together, made a cup of soju, and drank it with Sun Shaozong.

During the period, I can't help but swallow a little. The 30-year-old wine is very strong, and it is a superficial weight with her. Unconsciously, it shows a three-point drunkenness and seven-point flattery, and he stripped the lapel and opened the skirt. , Baiyu meat insects are also teasing.

Not long afterwards, Sun Shaozong couldn't restrain himself, and he didn't care that there were two little maids waiting outside. They swept the wine and food aside, and got close...

There are half-queen poems:

The flowers and trees are moisturized, and the roots are strong and the branches are also proud.
