"Oh, uncle!" Situ Wen yelled angrily, and turned her head to ignore him.

Situ Yi also stopped joking with his niece Situ Wen, but introduced Song Wuya to that Master Zhang.

"Master Zhang, you don't need to be so concerned. This kid is my niece and son-in-law. He is quite smart. When I was the county magistrate in Xiaoshan, he helped me solve two conspiracies!"

Being praised by Situ Yi in this way, Master Zhang was only slightly surprised, as if he didn't take it seriously, and still held skeptical views.

"This son, actually has such a talent?"

"That's right! That's why I asked him to take a look for me, and he will definitely be able to see the clues in this case." Situ Yi didn't blush with Master Zhang, and wanted to let the matter go with a smile.

However, Master Zhang snorted suddenly, looked Song Wuya up and down with those dog eyes, and sneered: "My lord, don't talk too much, in my opinion, the master of the case is just bragging !"

Song Wuya's face was calm, thinking to himself that this master is still thinking about the master of the case that the official said just now.

"Master, don't talk too much. If I can really solve this case, what will you do if you insult me ​​like this?" Song Wuya felt angry when he saw that the master didn't think highly of him. Come on, she suddenly loses her face towards him.

"Huh! A case of wrongful death, the result can be seen at a glance, and the case can be closed, so why do you need to pretend here?" Master Zhang listened to Song Wuya's words, and despised him even more.

"Death by mistake?" Song Wuya was stunned when he heard this word.

Chapter 24 This is murder

?Chapter 24 This is murder

His mind was spinning rapidly, and soon it was associated with accidental death, and after careful consideration of the word accidental death, he was sure of it immediately.

"I don't know, how did the deceased die by mistake?" Song Wuya immediately asked without waiting for them to explain to him.

Situ Yi walked inside with a smile, and greeted at the same time: "Wu Ya, come and take a look and you'll know."

Song Wuya followed immediately, and at the same time began to look around the room.The room was very large, a typical ancient rich man's furnishings, and as Situ Yi led him in, Song Wuya immediately saw that it was a study.

Situ Yi led him around the desk, and only then did Song Wuya see the deceased.

The body of the deceased was bloated, and the clothes he was wearing were of exquisite quality, probably made at a high price.And he was lying on the ground at the moment, and a copper basin beside him was overturned on the ground, spilling paper ash all over the floor.

"It seems that you have already moved the corpse!" Song Wuya said helplessly looking at an obvious mark on the ground.

Situ Yi nodded immediately: "Yes! When we came, the deceased fell on the ground, the basin was still on his head, and the surroundings were covered with paper ashes, so I ordered him to conduct an autopsy, so I moved the corpse."

Song Wuya knelt down and saw that the entire face of the deceased was covered in black, which was obviously caused by paper dust.

"Then what's the result of the autopsy?" Song Wuya carefully looked at the traces on the deceased, and asked at the same time.

Among the few people standing not far from the corpse, a thin old man came over and said politely: "The small one is the scorpion. The deceased died of suffocation by inhaling a large amount of paper ash through his mouth and nose."

"Death by suffocation?" Song Wuya frowned suddenly, this method of death is really strange: "Then there is no other trauma on the body? Is it accidental death? Not suicide?"

Song Wuya asked three questions with a face, and the master nodded repeatedly: "Exactly."

Song Wuya had never seen this kind of thing in a TV series.Those people's study rooms in ancient times were almost all equipped with these things, the purpose was to destroy some unnecessary things, such as waste paper and the like.Although this is enough to cause death, it feels strange no matter how you look at it.

"Wu Ya, what do you think?" Seeing Song Wuya's frown, Situ Yi immediately asked.

Song Wuya shook his head, did not speak directly, but moved the dead man's mouth to examine the inside carefully, and also checked the nasal cavity.Indeed, as Wu Zuo said, there was a lot of paper ash in it, and he checked all parts of the body to make sure there was no trauma.

"No, this person didn't die by mistake!" Song Wuya looked at the corpse and thought about it carefully, then got up and looked around, his eyes were first locked on the desk.Looking at the candlestick, paper pens and inkstones, and a few books scattered around.With these tiny layouts, he frowned, and his eyes fell on the ground again. He immediately had a judgment in his heart and shouted loudly. "It's murder!"

"What?" Song Wuya's judgment immediately frightened the people around him, and they all looked at him in horror.

Song Wuya ignored these people, raised his head and glanced around, looked at the few people on the side, and finally fixed his eyes on an elderly man with his hands folded in front of him.

"Is this old gentleman the housekeeper of the Liu residence?" Song Wuya immediately asked him.

The old gentleman immediately nodded and said: "The young one is Master Liu's housekeeper. What are your orders?"

"Then let me ask you, is your master left-handed?" Song Wuya asked immediately.

The butler's face tightened, and then he showed a look of admiration on his face: "Young master, you are really amazing! It can be seen from this that my master is indeed left-handed."

"That's right!" Song Wuya smiled slightly, then looked at Situ Yi, pointed to the decorations on the desk and said, "Look, my lord, the inkstone and pen are placed on the left side of the desk, from which we can judge that the deceased may He is left-handed. If he is right-handed, it would be troublesome to use the pen and inkstone on the left."

As he spoke, Song Wuya stood in front of the desk, stretched out his right hand and gestured.Situ Yi suddenly realized, looked at Song Wuya with joy, and nodded repeatedly.

Song Wuya's words continued, he walked around the corpse, pointed to the right side of the corpse and said: "But this basin is placed on the right side, which is a bit strange."

"What's so strange? Maybe it's just a small habit of the deceased, it can't be counted!" Song Wuya just finished saying that this pot is strange, but Master Zhang refuted it instead.

Song Wuya didn't say much about Master Zhang's words, as he said, it cannot be ruled out that this is a habit of the deceased.However, there were still many doubts, and he would not be able to prove to them that the deceased was murdered by him alone.

"There is also this pen, which was neatly placed on the table, indicating that the deceased stopped writing before he died. What does this mean? Since he put down the pen, why did he still stay in this study?" Song Wu Ya looked at Steward Liu who was at the side.

Butler Liu immediately replied: "Master, I have been staying in this study since lunch yesterday, and no one is allowed in. I think he was at his desk until late at night."

"Then he fell asleep here? That's why he fell and planted his head in the paper ashes in this basin?" Song Wuya said, he came to the corpse again and called an official to come over : "Carry him out of the hospital and ask Wu Zuo to open his chest and lungs to see if there is any paper dust inside. You can tell if he was killed."

The autopsy is the easiest way to make a judgment, but he was stopped by the housekeeper Liu for his undeniable matter.

"My lord, don't do it! Ma'am, tell me, you must not touch the master's body!"

Hearing what the housekeeper said, Song Wuya had no choice but to give up, and he didn't ask many people. After all, the ancients often said that parents are affected by their bodies, and this is also a disrespectful thing.Of course, Song Wuya won't let it go. Although there is another way, the conditions here are completely immature and there is no way to use it.So he was just thinking about it in his heart when he used the inner peeping environment.

However, this is a very important inspection, Song Wuya will not give up easily like this, he frowned and thought for a while, and then told the officer next to him: "Brother, help me get a basin of water and find a candle come over."

The officer responded and went out immediately.Situ Yi at the side walked over with a smile, and reached out to take the candlestick on the table.

"Isn't this ready-made?" He stretched out his hand and held it in front of Song Wuya.

Seeing this, Song Wuya frowned, and immediately asked, "Uncle, where can I get this candlestick?"

Seeing Song Wuya's serious expression, Situ Yi became nervous instead, looked back at the desk and said, "Here! What's wrong?"

After hearing this, Song Wuya stood up abruptly: "Here?"

"Yes!" Situ Yi nodded when he saw what Song Wuya was pointing at.

"No!" Song Wuya said, frowning tightly.

This made Situ Yi even more astonished, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I got it from here, I can be sure of that."

"My lord, this candlestick is not placed in the right place." Song Wuya pointed to the table, then pointed to the window and said, "This candlestick is placed here, obviously for people to see that Mr. Liu is still in the room. This is It was intentional by the murderer, not the original placement."

"That's right! My lord, I remembered when you said that. On weekdays, master, the candlestick on the desk is indeed placed on the south side of the window, not on the north side of the desk! Last night, the villain also saw it. Only by seeing the shadow on the bed can I conclude that the master is still sitting in the study."

The study room faces north, and the desk is placed on the west side of the room. People sitting here naturally face east.And the candlestick is placed on the left side of the table, which is absolutely impossible for a left-handed person. After picking up the pen, the candlelight will cast the shadow in front of him. Doesn't this affect the writing?Therefore, there is only one purpose for the candlestick to appear on the left, and that is that the beast deliberately wants people outside to see that the people in the study are still there.

For a moment, Song Wuya seemed to be enlightened, and he was even more sure that this was a murder.
