Detective in the Red Chamber

"what?!"

Before he finished speaking, he heard Sun Shaozong snort, snatched the saber from his waist with his hands, squatted down involuntarily, and carefully fiddled with the object in the crotch of the corpse with the scabbard, his face full of excitement. It was as if they had discovered something rare and rare.

The head of the horse-faced team only looked at the backyard, and thought to himself that this new Mr. Sun has some hobbies, right? !

Chapter 29 The Case of the Naked Corpse in Yunshui Lane [Part [-]]

Seeing that Sun Shaozong fiddled with the thing with his saber, looked at it over and over for a while, then turned the corpse over, stared at the white buttocks, and the horse-faced team leader felt more and more a dull pain in the backyard.

Just as he was lamenting his unlucky luck to have such a heavy-tasting boss, someone behind him suddenly said, "Erlang, you've been tossing and turning, have you noticed anything?"

The head of the horse-faced squad was startled, and hurriedly looked back, but it turned out that it was Jia Lian who was impatient, and finally bravely leaned over. At this time, besides three young servants and five healthy servants, there were many people around him. A handsome young man.

The head of the horse-faced team hurriedly called all the yamen servants to come forward and salute, the scene of the crime was in chaos for a while, only Sun Shaozong stood still, and lifted the legs of the corpse to look up and down.

But Jia Lian is so patient to deal with these "scumbags"?

Without tilting his eyelids, he took two steps closer, stretched out his hand and patted Sun Shaozong's shoulder, half complaining and half joking, "Erlang, what treasures are you looking for? Look at your meticulousness, I don't know, I'm afraid it's Cao Sikong's Captain Mojin coming!"

Only then did Sun Shaozong straighten his body, and he threw the waist knife to the head of the horse face squad.

The head of the horse-faced team rushed to take it, and saw that there was obviously some dark yellow filth on the scabbard, and hurriedly poked it into the snow to rub it for a few times, but he heard Sun Shaozong say, "Let's keep it for now, at least it will be fine." It's a piece of evidence."

exhibit?

The head of the horse-faced team hurriedly picked up the knife again, but he looked left and right, but he couldn't see these filthy things, which looked like evidence.

Seeing a smile on Sun Shaozong's face, Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "Erlang, what clues did you find?"

Sun Shaozong grinned and talked eloquently, "It is basically certain that this person died of poisoning, or was killed by a good mistress—that mistress should be a young woman who lives alone, and she is not a prostitute, but a romantic woman with a high reputation. woman."

Seeing his swear words, the people around couldn't help being a little skeptical.

It's hard for others to ask, but how can Jia Lian bear it?

Quickly asked, "How do you know that the one who killed him was a young romantic woman, and you also know that the woman is not a prostitute?"

Sun Shaozong pointed at the head of the horse-faced squad, and said, "The thing on the scabbard is usually caused by a maniac disease, but I have just checked carefully, and the thing on this man is very neat, and there is no acne, so it can be seen that this thing is got it from someone else."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides doing that, it's not easy to get involved in this, so I concluded that this man died of poisoning when he was in love with the woman, or just after finishing it." ——Only in this way, there will be these filth left on the corpse, and there is no time to clean it up."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but they saw him pointing back at the male corpse, and said, "This man's hair is dry and forked, the skin behind his ears is rough and dark, and there are many calluses on his feet, obviously he is often on the go."

"But his teeth are very neat, the skin on his hands is also very tender, and he seems to be someone who doesn't put in much effort. Combining these two, it can be basically judged that this person is either a wealthy businessman or a certain company. management."

"A master like him who has some spare money in his pocket should look down on those who have been prostitutes for many years. Most likely he will find a young and beautiful woman."

Everyone was amazed when they heard this.

Especially the yamen servants headed by the head of the horse-faced team, while admiring, they also concealed a little shame--I waited for others to work for nothing all morning, but it was not as good as what they got in a short time!

But Jia Lian still persisted and asked, "Then how do you know that the one who killed him must be a young prostitute, not a prostitute in a brothel?"

"Second Brother Lian, has he never been to a brothel?"

Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "This corpse was obviously thrown out last night. There are so many people singing and singing in the brothel every night. It is difficult for ordinary prostitutes to make such a big sack in the middle of the night, right?"

Jia Lian was about to retort immediately, saying that many of the courtesans in the brothel were single-family.

But he is not a fool after all, and he immediately thought that with the financial resources of a traveling businessman, if he wanted to sleep in a brothel oiran, he might not be able to get his wish even if he went bankrupt—and besides, what reason do those oirans have to kill a small peddler? ?

Seeing a case without a clue, Sun Shaozong sorted out the context of a case without a clue, and the spirit of the horse-faced team leader also raised his spirits.

I saw him slashing the waist knife that was stained with the 'evidence', and said excitedly, "Master, there are at most fifteen or six young prostitutes around here, and I will go to the door with my brothers to search one by one, and we will definitely arrest them." The vicious woman has been captured and questioned!"

As he said that, he wanted to call all the yamen servants to act separately.

Unexpectedly, Sun Shaozong said, "Don't worry, I still have a few clues to finish."

"There are still clues?!"

The head of the horse-faced team widened his eyes in astonishment. The deduction just now was already amazing enough. Who would have thought that this Sun Tongpan would have found other clues!

Jia Lian was also very interested when he heard the words, and hurriedly urged Sun Shaozong to come quickly.

Just listen to Sun Shaozong saying, "First of all, it should be an accident that the corpse was thrown here - I paid special attention when I came here, this place is not far from Wanliu Pond, no matter how you think about it, the corpse should be thrown into the pond."

"So I infer that the murderer wanted to transport the body to Wanliutang to throw it away, but he was frightened halfway and threw the body here—so there is no need to check the direction of Wanliutang .”

"In addition, there are clear scratch marks on the man's armpits, shoulders, and ankles, which shows that he was lifted up by two people after his death, and this man is no more than one meter tall...cough, this man is not tall enough He is 1 feet 66 meters tall, and he was born very thin. According to common sense, not to mention a man and a woman, even two adult women can easily move it together."

"However, there are obvious drag marks on the buttocks of the corpse, so if there is no accident, there should be only one accomplice next to the woman, and it is either a minor child or a frail old man."

Hearing that he even deduced the characteristics of the murderer's accomplice, everyone was dumbfounded.

But Sun Shaozong's performance was not over yet, and he pointed to the corpse and said, "Also, among the murderer and the accomplice, one of the left ring fingers was injured, and he usually doesn't use much strength, so some of the scratches, the ring finger marks are very shallow, Some don’t even see it at all.”

"what!"

As soon as Sun Shaozong finished speaking, he saw the handsome young man next to Jia Lian jump more than three feet high, and shouted excitedly, "I know, I know! It was Sister Feng who killed it, it must be Sister Feng who killed it!"

Chapter 30 The murder case, the first encounter with Qiao Li Wan

"I know, I know! It's Sister Feng, it must be Sister Feng who killed him!"

Pa~! ! !

The handsome young man's voice was still echoing in the alley, when he saw Jia Lian slap his backhand on his face with a livid face, he was hit so hard that he staggered and almost fell on the corpse.

"Jia Yun! What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard?! See if I won't tear your dog's mouth!" After the slap, Jia Lian still refused to give up. Left and right.

Then Jia Yun thought of the Hedong lion in his family, who was often called "Sister Feng", and hurriedly distinguished, "The person my nephew said is Chen Yufeng from the half-closed door of Zhonglou Street. Her nickname is also called Sister Feng." , because someone smashed her left ring finger for stealing when she was a child, and she was nicknamed 'Nine-fingered Yufeng'—then Chen Yufeng only had an old woman by her side, which is exactly what Uncle Sun said!"

Hearing this, Jia Lian resentfully let go of Jia Yun's collar, but his anger still lingered, so he took on an uncle's posture and scolded, "You bastard, you don't know how to make progress all day long. You are really familiar with the stories about the whore houses!"

Although the words came out of his mouth, there was always a feeling of nondescript, but Jia Yun dared to refute, and kept bowing and apologizing, only saying that he was dazzled and unable to control himself after hearing Uncle Sun's "God's Judgment" just now , and collided with the second aunt's name by a slip of the tongue.

After his reminder, Jia Lian immediately remembered the business, and triumphantly said to Sun Shaozong, "A few days ago, I told people about your half-day solution to the strange case, and some people didn't believe it—that's good, half an hour It's useless, and another murder case has been solved!"

As he said that, he kicked Jia Yun's butt again, and shouted, "Things with no eyesight, hurry up and take us to catch that poisonous woman and bring him to justice!"

Jia Yun was about to make up for the mistake just now, when she heard the words, she quickly agreed, and Baba led the way.

Jia Lian was about to follow excitedly, but was pulled back by Sun Shaozong.

"It's just a whore, why do you still need your uncle to go out in person?" Sun Shaozong said, then turned to the head of the horse-faced team and said, "Zhao Wuwei, I will leave the rest to you, and you don't have to wait until you catch that whore." Find me, and hand it over to Mr. Zhizhong directly—tell him that I haven’t taken office yet, so it’s inconvenient to intervene in this case.”

After finishing speaking, regardless of the reaction of the horse-faced team leader, he dragged Jia Lian into the carriage, whipped the horse and walked away.

But along the way, Jia Lian inevitably complained again and again, because he blamed him for giving credit to that bullshit treatment, and because he regretted not being able to see the appearance of the 'nine-fingered jade phoenix'.

Sun Shaozong just laughed without saying a word.

The miraculous reasoning just now is estimated to spread throughout the capital in less than two or three days. As long as Mr. Zhizhong is not a fool, he will never dare to take credit for this contribution. Instead, he will praise Sun Shaozong with great fanfare to show that he did not do it on purpose. Not to make things difficult, but to value Sun Shaozong's ability.

If you take the initiative to ask for credit, how interesting is it to let your opponent pinch your nose and praise for yourself?

As for the arrest of Chen Yufeng, even if he did it himself, it would be just icing on the cake, it might as well be a gift to Zhao Wuwei and others as a favor, and it can be considered as a good relationship with future subordinates in advance.

--split line--

Less gossip.

The group returned to Rongguo Mansion, but Jia Lian came through the house and refused to enter, so Xing'er was asked to go back and inform Wang Xifeng to prepare the banquet as usual, and then led Sun Shaozong to Jiamu's place in the west chamber with arrogance.

He said that he wanted to take Sun Shaozong to meet the authentic uncle of the country, but from Sun Shaozong's point of view, this guy probably just wanted to show off.

Entering the west chamber, I saw that everything was better than Jia He's. After walking about a distance, I saw the two women in front of me coming up to meet them.

Jia Lian asked about Baoyu's whereabouts, but heard that he was chatting with his sisters in the backyard-it was inconvenient to take Sun Shaozong there, so he asked Jia Mu again.

"The old ancestor just had a laugh with Second Master Bao just now, and now he is listening to the maids telling stories in the flower hall."

Hearing this, Jia Lian suddenly regained his spirits, and proudly said, "Those stories are all made up, what's so good about it? I have an anecdote here. It's not only a real story, but also something I personally experienced, my second master!" "

As he spoke, he ignored him and dragged Sun Shaozong into the backyard excitedly.

Skimming the Chaoshou verandah, turning around the red sandalwood framed marble screen, one can see five main rooms with carved beams and painted buildings lined up, and there are many "parrots and thrushes" hanging under the eaves, and they all chirped when seeing strangers coming in It's like singing in a chorus.

Hearing this movement, the maid in red and green opened the door curtain to look out, met Jia Lian, and immediately shrank back and shouted, "Old Ancestor, it's the Second Master Lian who has arrived."

Before the words fell, the voice of the old lady came from inside, "Is Lian'er here? Hurry up, let me in, it's snowing again in this cold weather, if he freezes to death, Feng Lazi won't be too late." Blame me, old woman?"

After hearing this, Jia Lian opened the door curtain and got in. He laughed and said, "Old Ancestor, even if she is so courageous, she dare not blame you."

As he spoke, he turned his head and greeted, "Erlang, come in quickly and meet my old lady."

After he finished speaking, he found that besides his mother-in-law and maidservants, there was his widowed sister-in-law, Li Wan, and he felt a little embarrassed--Gein, since Li Wan was a widow, he paid the most attention to etiquette and defense. Men seldom interact with each other, so how can they meet men from outside?

But it was too late to regret it.

Sun Shaozong opened the door curtain and walked in proudly. He came to Jiamu in a few steps, folded down like an iron tower, and said respectfully, "Sun Shaozong, the son of the former Shenwei General Sun Shengtao, has seen Lao Fengjun."

Seeing a tall and burly man suddenly come in, Jiamu was in doubt, and when he heard him report his family name, he suddenly said, "It turns out that he is the second son of General Shenwei's family. When you were a hundred days old, I made a special trip to the mansion." Congratulations, who knows that in a blink of an eye, you can already look like this."

As he spoke, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Sun Shaozong straightened up here, and was about to speak with a smile on his face, but suddenly he saw a dignified and beautiful woman beside Jia Mu, who was full of panic, as if he was so nervous that he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet.

Out of curiosity, I looked a few more times, but I saw that this woman was about in her early twenties, her whole body was well-groomed, her demeanor was dignified and cold, but the figure wrapped in a plain skirt was very familiar. Charming and enchanting, she couldn't sit still, and saw the towering and trembling chest, and the back of the buttocks bulged from time to time like a full moon, and the slender waist that was even more set off was full and grippable.

If we say that she is dignified and cold, like a basin of ice water, but her romantic and enchanting figure is like a sultry fire - this ice and fire are mixed together, but it adds a bit of color!

chapter 31

But Li Wan was feeling uneasy, and suddenly felt a gaze patrolling his body, subconsciously raised his head to look up, but met Sun Shaozong's eagle-like eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat for a moment, she hurriedly lowered her head to her chest, and complained thousands of times about the reckless Jia Lian.

Seeing the embarrassment and annoyance on Li Wan's face, Sun Shaozong immediately sensed something was wrong, and hurriedly turned his gaze back to Jia Mu, showing a respectful expression to the rich and kind old lady.

At this time, Jia Mu had asked someone to fetch the tortoiseshell glasses, holding the frame of the glasses and carefully scanned Sun Shaozong's eyes, she couldn't help but click her tongue and said, "He is indeed a heroic little general, no wonder he can hold off so many salt owls on the river—— After you say that this is meritorious service, why are the children of our Rongguo Mansion so weak?"

Once the old lady opened up the chatterbox, she couldn't hold back, and she said casually, "It's a good thing to study and make progress, but if the body is not strong, even if it can be promising for a while, how can it last for a long time?"

These words immediately pierced into Li Wan's heart. Regardless of her husband who died early, her son Jia Lan often suffered from three disasters and five illnesses. If there is a day...

Just thinking about it for a while, she felt that her hands and feet were cold to the bone.

"Ancestor!"

Jia Lian, on the other hand, wanted to show off, so he said with a smile, "You are underestimating Erlang. He not only has a good figure, but also can solve strange cases!"

"I heard, I heard."

Lao Tiantai patted the red sandalwood Kang table, grinned and said, "'Duwei Sun solved the strange case in half a day, and Prime Minister Ruan has the insight to recognize talents', this story was told to me early in the morning, and it was made into a little song and sung everywhere. Woolen cloth."

Jia Lian pulled his chest out and said triumphantly, "What my grandson wants to talk about today is not your old calendar, but something new that I saw with my own eyes!"

As he said that, he told the whole story of Sun Shaozong being sent to Shuntian Mansion to investigate the suspicious case of the naked corpse, and all the women in the room were amazed. She even gave birth to a seven-aperture exquisite heart.

In the past, such stories could only be traced in old sayings, but how could it be compared to Jia Lian's personal experience, and the vividness of the stories?

Therefore, even Li Wan was fascinated by listening unconsciously.

After hearing that Sun Shaozong locked onto the 'Nine-fingered Jade Phoenix' step by step based on the clues, he did not take credit for it, but walked away freely, and felt that this person was not simple—only this old way of dealing with people, Jia Among the many men in the mansion, few can compare.

So she couldn't help but look up at Sun Shaozong's appearance again.

Who would have thought that Sun Shaozong saw Jia Lian's words so vividly, he only regarded himself as a prop to show off, and when he was bored, he also stole a glance at Li Wan, and his four eyes collided again!

Both of them were taken aback.

Immediately, Sun Shaozong smiled embarrassingly, and Li Wan lowered his head like an electric shock, but for some reason, his mind was full of Sun Shaozong's majestic figure, and some thoughts that should not have appeared in his heart

If my dead ghost husband also has such a strong body, now I still have to worry about my son's early death?

Then he thought, if Jia Zhu really had such a physique, how could he have passed away so early and left himself alone, sleeping alone every night?

Probably what is lacking in human life is what he cares about the most in his heart - Li Wan usually has a calm heart when facing pink princes like Jia Lian and Baoyu, but who would have thought that when he first saw a "rough guy" like Sun Shaozong, he would be confused and moved his heartstrings .

In a trance, the scene of the newlyweds being in love with each other suddenly appeared in her mind, but the groom's face was still Jia Zhu, but his figure was changed to that of Sun Shaozong...

Amitabha!

Li Wan hurriedly recited the Buddha's name silently, trying to dispel the 'evil thoughts' in his heart.

However, she used scriptures to suppress human nature in daily life, and she didn't know how much dry firewood she had accumulated in her heart. Suddenly, "the old house caught fire", but how could it be easily extinguished?

The more I recite the Buddhist scriptures silently, the more I feel dryness rising from my lower abdomen, hot and provocative. After a while, even Jia Zhu's face in my mind is blurred, leaving only a majestic and stalwart figure... …

"Second brother is really unjust!"
