Chapter 36 Dead Man

Zhou Yao originally wanted to chat with the thief.

alone.

Ask him why he has his uncle's things, and if he knows where his uncle has gone and what he has done... even a little bit.

There are always many people around, and I don't have any subordinates who belong to me alone, so I can't be absolutely secretive. Zhou Yao can only think of ways to plot twists and turns. The eldest prince happened to pick this thief, and he couldn't hide his joy. This time, Good luck should fall on him!

Shang Zhong has left this road, there is only this room at the end of the road, the thief must be here.

Zhou Yao put his hand on the door and pushed gently.

He thought he would see a thief when he opened the door. As long as he was smart enough and used some tricks, he would be able to get the words out...

As a result, the former comes true, he sees the thief.The latter can never be achieved.

Because the thief is dead!

The thief was lying on the ground, his head turned to the door, his eyes were open, bleeding from his orifices, and he died with regret!

There was not only one person in the room.

The other one was bending over, carefully holding the hem of the robe with one hand, and sniffing the corpse with the other...

Because the man was short in stature and didn't want to touch the corpse, he stretched out his hands very hard, and his body was extremely tense, which looked a bit ridiculous.

Hearing the sound of the door, the man looked out in panic, and saw Zhou Yao who pushed the door in.

"what--"

"what."

Both were startled.

"Zhou Yao?"

"Wang Jia?"

When two acquaintances met each other, they were both surprised and said in unison: "Why are you here?"

The two were silent.

The atmosphere in the room was quite eerie.

Perhaps Zhou Yao's smiling face was terrible, Wang Jia couldn't help it, and scratched his head: "You know, I like all kinds of gossip stories, and tonight's black market auction has everything, even the martial arts lord There are all the small clothes worn by my concubine, how can I miss them? I spent a lot of money and worked hard to sneak in. The auction doesn't start for a long time, so I just wander around... When I walk here, the windows are wide open, and the smell It’s a bit wrong, the nose is pointed, and the window can’t see the specific situation. I was curious, so I climbed in. Who knew it was a dead person! I was just trying to see if the person was really dead, so you pushed the door, scared to death Me!"

After he finished speaking, he patted his chest with lingering fear.

Zhou Yao looked in the direction he pointed, and there was indeed a window. The window was not wide open, but the height and position were very suitable, which was indeed convenient for a small body like Wang Jia to slip in.

The thief's corpse was lying on the ground, with his head facing the direction of the door, which was opposite to the window. The bleeding from the seven orifices was not too much. Those who came in facing the door could see it clearly, but they couldn't see it from the angle of the window...

After Wang Jia finished talking about herself, she asked Zhou Yao confidently, "What about you? Why did you come here? You also smelled something wrong?" When she asked, she straightened her back and added momentum to herself, "Don't laugh at me. I'm cowardly. You I was scared just now!"

"I saw a dead body when I opened the door. The blood was bleeding from the seven orifices, and there was an unknown figure trying to get close. I don't know what he wanted to do. Can you calm down?" Zhou Yao knelt down and observed the performance of the dead body.

Wang Jia rubbed her chin, thoughtfully: "It's true...you are more exciting than what I saw."

After thinking about it, Wang Jia let go. Seeing that Zhou Yao not only didn't shy away from the corpse, but also squatted down to look at it, he seemed to want to study it carefully here, so he became anxious and hurried to pull him: "Hey, my brother Yao, what are you doing here?" The person is dead, I just took a breath, and it is completely dead, this is a homicide case, if you are caught, you will be thrown into jail! Don't you hurry up and come with me, do you want to be arrested as a suspect!"

Zhou Yao remained motionless: "I didn't kill the person."

"I didn't kill it either!" Wang Jia jumped, "Hey brother, others don't care if you killed it. If the person is dead, you can't get rid of it if you are at the scene! Brother, listen to me, come with me ,ah?"

Zhou Yao looked at the face of the deceased, and then looked for other traces on the body of the deceased: "It's too late."

Wang Jia opened her mouth wide, but didn't realize it: "What?"

Zhou Yao: "Do you think you didn't attract anyone because you yelled so much just now?"

Wang Jia reacted, rushed to the door quickly, opened the door to look, and almost cried: "People... people... a lot of people are here!"

Zhou Yao was very calm: "Yes."

Wang Jia: ...

Wang Jia was in a bit of a mess, he didn't want to leave, he didn't want to leave, and finally he went to Zhou Yao's side aggrieved: "Brother, I will help you prove that you are not the murderer, and you also need to help me prove that I didn't kill anyone..."

"I was dead when I came in, you saw it, but I don't know what you looked like when you came in."

Zhou Yao is very cold.

Wang Jia wronged Baba: "Brother..."

"It's useless to call it anything," Zhou Yao patted Wang Jia's forehead, "But this is a black market auction, and both the owner and the guests are unruly masters. Whether or not this murder case can be filed is still up for debate. You are in a hurry now, isn't it too early?"

Wang Jia covered her forehead in a daze: "Yes, yes..."

Zhou Yao was not an author, nor was he an expert in the analysis of the murder scene, but he watched the deceased's seven orifices bleed, the smell was wrong, and the color of the nails changed. No matter how ignorant he was, he could tell that the deceased died of poisoning.

The body of the deceased was warm, not much worse than that of a normal person. It was obvious that the deceased had died just now, and Shang Zhong must have had something to do with the strong poison in his body!

It's not what he did, it's what he saw!

Who...would want to kill this thief?

Zhou Yao has read the interrogation records of the eldest prince's mansion. The thief is very cunning, skilled, and obsessed with making a name for himself. Therefore, when he suggested that the thief can be used to find out information, the eldest prince read the information, This person was chosen.

personal enmity?

People will have enemies for various reasons, not to mention thieves?But this thief committed crimes before and was caught in the eldest prince's private prison, and he was released today. Outsiders don't know, and it's very difficult for people with personal enemies to come and kill him at this exact time and exact location.

Therefore, it is related to Chongbao.

Either, the thief really discovered something, came here to ruin other people's affairs, and was killed by others; or, he did not cooperate with Shang Zhongji, was unwilling to cooperate, or discovered Shang Zhongji's purpose, and reacted violently. It doesn't work at all, and it may leak the secret, Shang Zhong has no choice but to silence him for the eldest prince.

Otherwise, it has something to do with uncle.

The thief was carrying a piece of his uncle's jade.

But in a foreign country, who can recognize uncle's things except himself, a relative?

Even the fourth prince who has certain thoughts about his uncle may not necessarily know...

This is slightly less likely.

But no matter what, the dead cannot be brought back to life, and the opportunity he had planned and waited for was gone.His only clue to track down his uncle was gone.

……

There was a sudden scream in the room. It was impossible for the people in charge in the building to ignore it. There were too many people in the building. Some things were not easy to find out, and some things were not easy to hide. There was no need to question Zhou Yao and Wang Jia. With clues, Shang Zhong has been found out just like that.

Whether Shang Zhongji himself was angry or regretted not doing a good job of anti-investigation disguise did not mention, he was found by the stewards in the building and was suspected of murder, the eldest prince could not ignore it.The Fourth Prince loves to see the Eldest Prince being unlucky. Anyway, the auction has not yet started. Whenever the Eldest Prince moves, he will follow suit. Maybe there is a chance to make things worse?

The two Buddhas moved, and those who guessed their identities immediately mobilized their gossip nerves and followed one after another, actively watching the excitement.

Soon, a large circle of people surrounded the room.

No one spoke, and the eyes seemed to be shining, looking closely at the few people in the innermost.

The person in charge of the building was a fine person, and he saluted respectfully to the eldest prince and the fourth prince, and briefly explained the matter.

"...Suddenly heard a scream...someone saw that the noble businessman had already..."

"The identity of the deceased is unknown, the cause of death is full of mysteries, and the conditions of the auction venue are limited, so it is difficult to quickly sort out the before and after. I also ask the two nobles to help me to be witnesses. How should I deal with this matter?"

The fourth prince didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, and sneered directly: "How to deal with it? Naturally, find out the murderer! Killing people pays for their lives, the world is just, it's the same everywhere—what do you think?"

The eldest prince's face was solemn: "Innocent people cannot die in vain, this matter should be investigated carefully."

"I don't think so," the fourth prince pointed at the corpse. "From such a distance, you can see the blood from the seven orifices of the deceased. This appearance of poisoning, do you still need to investigate carefully? As for the identity of the deceased... Your subordinate Shang Zhong has already been arrested." If someone sees it, let him come out and say no?"

The fourth prince named Shang Zhongji to speak, just now others also pointed out Shang Zhongji, saying that seeing him coming, no matter what, Shang Zhongji would not be able to escape this wave.

The eldest prince glanced at Shang Zhongji lightly.

This look seemed to be calm, but it suppressed the turbulent waves. He was reminding Shang Zhongji to speak up!

Shang Zhong's mind has turned sharply along the way, and he has already thought about it. If he doesn't admit anything, it will definitely not work. Someone saw him coming, so he can't tell, it's not like this...

He stood steadily, and replied with his hands tied: "I have indeed been to this room."

I actually admitted it!

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar, but after a while, they became quiet again.

Shang Zhong had already turned his gaze towards the crowd, and slowly narrowed his eyes: "But when I came, he was already dead!"

"This man's name is Mao San. He has no serious job. He is a habitual thief. He cheated countless people. It's not that he didn't lose his life. Not long ago, he was imprisoned for committing crimes, and he was just released today. I was also very surprised to see him here. , but his footsteps are very fast, and I can't catch up. After searching for a while, I heard that he was here from passers-by. I can arrest him again today, but I saw him poisoned as soon as I opened the door!"

"I don't know what kind of strong poison it is. He twitched all over his body and soon fell silent. I was kind and didn't want to encounter such trouble. I didn't want to touch it, but remembering my master's teachings, I didn't dare to hide it, so I went back to report to the master. "

The fourth prince sneered: "So your master also knows?"

Shang Zhong already had a serious expression on his face: "This place was discovered too quickly, I just returned to the master's side, and I haven't had time to tell about it in the future."

"It's such a coincidence?"

The fourth prince squinted at Shang Zhongji: "Actually, you don't have to be so careful. What did you do, did your master instigate you, and what schemes did you have? We don't know, and we can't find out—"

"Don't deliberately lead the wind, let's speak according to the facts, we can't trust each other, we just need to look at the evidence." Shang Zhong already slanted his eyes to Zhou Yao and Wang Jia, and his voice was full of malice, "The one who appeared in this room is not Only me!"

Why are you bullying him alone?

All eyes were on Zhou Yao and Wang Jia.

Wang Jia hid directly behind Zhou Yao without showing his head.

Zhou Yao laughed directly: "Mr. Shang, you said that this man was already dead when you came, but we came later than you."

Is tofu on your mind?To accuse him like that?

Shang Zhong regretted it greatly in his heart, but he was too anxious and didn't think clearly!

Before he could find any more excuses, Zhou Yao said again: "When it comes to killing people, there must always be a motive. I have no grudges against the deceased, why should I kill him? Mr. Shang, you can drag others into the water casually— Can you still have such a high profile, and kindly mention a thief who is not very important and has no previous relationship?"

Who believes it!

Everyone's eyes began to look wrong.

Shang Zhong no longer bites others, only clarifies himself, they still believe it, with such a development, Shang Zhong is no longer the murderer?Hehe, you are also in the same party!

The First Prince felt that it would be wrong not to speak, and cast a reproachful glance at Shang Zhong: "When encountering such a thing, it's normal to be anxious, but it's not right to make mistakes out of chaos."

Zhou Yao is one of his own!Check out the situation!

Shang Zhong was already in a hurry. If he couldn't deal with Zhou Yao, he wanted to deal with Wang Jia: "That's him! There must be a reason why he appears here!"

Wang Jia poked her head from behind Zhou Yao, with an innocent face: "I said you are too good at playing, do you just point out the suspicion casually? Hearing the sound is wrong, smelling the smell is wrong, come and see it out of curiosity, can't you? , How many are really related to the murder case, how many are just to watch the fun, everyone is suspicious? According to me, you killed the person! If you don’t want to admit it, you can catch and bite whoever you want!"

After speaking, he grinned and bared a mouthful of small teeth.

Everyone was silent and waited quietly.

Seeing that Shang Zhong was about to attack again——

"What's the point of grabbing and biting each other like this?" Lin Chen stood in the crowd and spoke with a smile, "Everyone can watch the excitement, but things haven't really been clarified." He looked at the first prince, then at the fourth prince, The voice was quite earnest, "I think the focus today is the auction of the treasure, not the death of this insignificant thief."

Lin Chen didn't deliberately stand forward, but because he was talking, the people around subconsciously moved a little farther away and noticed him.

He is not wearing a mask.

Already young, with an outstanding appearance, coupled with the usual modest temperament of a young man, he is even more different.It seems that the whole body is covered with a layer of warm light, and there seems to be a kind of innate nobility, which sets off the surrounding people...

It was as if he was a phoenix and others were chickens in the field.

These words, with a broad vision and a heart, suppressed the two princes who were preoccupied!
