Dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, I was working as a detective in Chang'an

Lin Wan'er's case has been settled. The Chang'an County government office received praise from the superiors for solving a major case that solved two lives. The county magistrate also knew the current affairs and took a generous pension to retire and return to his hometown. Before leaving, he wrote a letter. He received a letter of recommendation and promoted Magistrate Wang of Wugong County.

Magistrate Wang was appointed as a parent official in Chang'an County. Before he took office, he did the work for Fatty and me. He asked us to go with him and take care of each other. Fatty and I were also at the age where we were still in the prime of life. When we heard that we could go to Chang'an City and do something big, we agreed without hesitation.

Before taking office, the old lady in my family felt that I was unfamiliar with the place in Chang'an. She was very worried that I would not be able to eat well or sleep well, so she asked Hui'er and Liu Qingqing to go with me so that they could take care of my daily life. The two silly girls were so happy that they almost jumped up when they heard that, because no one was in charge, they could go to the emperor's feet and see the world.

For the four of us foodies, the first thing we did when we came to Chang'an was to eat everywhere. We took the food provided by the old lady and ate in all the restaurants in Chang'an County within a month, and found that the biggest thing in life was Happiness is being able to go shopping and eating with your best friends.

Mai Laoguang, I heard he was from Cantonese. He opened a Shaomai shop and usually sold some Shaomai. Mai Laoguang is a shriveled old man. The happiest thing for him every day is to sit on the kang at night and count his coins. For such a hard-nosed guy, the store never does credit, but business is surprisingly good.

Another point is that Mai Laoguang is very afraid of his wife. He can hear his wife yelling at him almost every day, but he is always submissive and dare not breathe. Even after many years of marriage, he has not given birth to a child for him. Dare to be born. Neighbors like to joke with him, saying that he is a "head-beheader", which is a Shaanxi dialect that means a coward. He didn't understand what he said, and he wasn't angry. He squinted his eyes every day, happily making his siomai and listening to his wife's scolding.

The shaomai made by Mai Laoguang is really delicious. It’s not very southern. He added bacon and ham to it. It’s oily and sweet when you take a bite. It’s also a little spicy, so his shaomai is sold The fastest, faster than the big buns in the north.

Mai Laoguang is very low-key. Apart from immersing himself in making Shaomai, few people see him straighten up. Over time, his back has become a little hunched.

On a sunny summer morning, diners came to Mai Laoguang's shaomai shop and found that he didn't open the door today! This is the first time in more than ten years that the door has not been lowered to welcome guests, which is very strange.

Last night, I saw Mai Laoguang working in the store until midnight, and was scolded by his wife for most of the night. It sounded like he blamed Mai Laoguang for stealing the family's money to drink tea.

Some neighbors thought that Mai Laoguang might be asleep, so they went to knock on the door. After knocking for a long time, they heard no sound. Some people thought that he was visiting relatives, but they didn't hear that he had anyone else in Chang'an County. Relatives.

It's getting late at this time, and everyone is ready to leave. Maybe there is something going on at home or someone is sick. It's nothing big or small. Maybe it will open tomorrow?

At this time, a [-]-year-old man walking his dog passed by. Suddenly his dog stood in front of Mai Laoguang's shop and barked like crazy. It broke away from the leash and lay on the door, barking continuously. With. The old man felt a little puzzled. This dog has always been obedient. Why was it barking like crazy today? Could there be something inside?

The old man stepped forward to hold the dog and took a look along the crack of the door. It didn't matter. He was almost frightened to death by the scene inside!

The old man staggered to the street and shouted to the onlookers: "Killing, killing, Mai Laoguang was killed."

People gathered around and looked in through the crack in the door. They saw Mai Laoguang lying head down on the ground, motionless with a large pool of blood flowing from his body. His wife was lying on her back not far from him, near the door, covered in blood. They were both probably dead.

People hurriedly called the police, and County Magistrate Wang issued a search warrant, ordering me, Fatty, and several former county police officers to go to the crime scene to investigate.

Business places in the Tang Dynasty were all front rooms, with the door bolted from the inside, and there were no windows or back doors at the back. After we went there, it took a lot of effort to open the front door.

This was the bloodiest scene I have ever seen in my life. The room was filled with the smell of blood and the floor was covered with blood. When we arrived, both of them had no vital signs, but when we touched the bodies, they were still warm, so they must have been killed not long ago.

Mai Laoguang was lying on his back. His back had been stabbed with more than a dozen knives. The cuts were so severe that his neck was almost broken. It was hanging diagonally on his left shoulder. After the fat man's back was examined, we turned his body over.

Oh my god, the front was even more terrifying. His chest was stabbed into a hornet's nest with a knife, and his peeing penis was brutally cut off. The fat man said: "How much hatred do you have against him? These dozens of stabs were not on the vital points. He was tortured to death. The most fatal thing was that his testicles were cut off and he died of pain."

Looking at the woman's body again, her fatal wound was on her neck. She was killed with just one knife.

The house is paved with red bricks, and it must have just been washed at night, so it is very clean. We can clearly see that in addition to our shoe prints and the shoe prints of two couples, there is an extra pair of shoe prints in the house. If not, If you guess wrong, this should be the murderer's shoe print.

The prints on this pair of shoes are very strange. They feel like the size of a thirteen- or fourteen-year-old child's feet. Judging from the circumstances of the murder, the murderer should be a very powerful person. He can beat two with one, and others don't even have a chance to fight back. No, then he must be very tall. If you only look at the silk seal to determine a person's height, he should be almost the same as Wu Dalang.

It seems that after the murderer came to the room, the first person he killed was his wife. He killed her with just one knife. Then maybe Mai Laoguang heard the noise and came out of the kitchen and saw that his wife had been killed. Maybe He was so frightened that the murderer didn't give him much chance to resist, so he started stabbing him wildly until he was dying. Then the murderer cut off his penis with one knife, leaving him to die slowly in extreme pain. .

The murderer probably enjoyed the process, watching him die quietly, and then calmly left the scene.

What is very surprising is that except for the main door, there are no other doors or windows in this room. This is not a secret room. And how did the murderer leave the scene and bolt the door from the inside after killing the people?
