ancient criminal minds

Lu Enguang's family lives in the east courtyard, while Lu Enshan lives in the west courtyard, but there is no lock between the two courtyards.Lu Enguang died in his room, and the body had already been carried out. After being trained by Lu Zheng for a period of time, Shi Hu, Bao Zheng and others also knew the importance of protecting the scene, so when Lu Zheng passed by, he was relieved to find that the scene was still covered It is better protected.

The deceased was lying on his back in the bedroom. The room was not messy, so it could be seen that there was no violent fight. When the deceased was found, Lu Enshan was lying on the ground less than one meter away from him, holding a stained A dagger of blood, and an overturned flagon beside it.

Lu Zheng and Bao Zheng searched the room carefully, but found nothing of value, except that the flower stand next to the deceased seemed to have been moved, but judging from the traces, it should be caused by the deceased pulling it when he was dying. According to the housekeeper, no property was lost in the room, and judging from the situation at the scene, it was really as Ma Yanbai had guessed.

After watching the scene, the two went to see Lu Enshan again.

Lu Enshan was tied to a chair, his clothes were uncovered, and there were all kinds of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves on his body, but he could still smell a strong smell of alcohol when he got close.He is already awake at this moment, and is crying with tears in his eyes: "I really didn't kill my brother..."

Lu Zheng sat opposite him and asked directly: "Are you Lu Enshan?"

Lu Enshan looked over blankly, and Bao Zheng said from the side: "This is the new county lieutenant Lu, my lord is asking you something, why don't you tell me the truth?"

"I confess, I confess!" Lu Enshan nodded again and again, and said with a mournful face, "My lord, I really didn't kill my brother, my brother treated me so well, am I not inferior to a beast for doing these things?"

"Then why are you in Lu Enguang's room?"

Lu Enshan himself was also confused: "I was drinking in my room that night, and then I fell asleep when I was drunk. When I woke up, I found my elder brother lying in a pool of blood, and then the housekeeper tied me up. Say I'm a murderer, but I really don't!"

"Where did that dagger come from?"

Lu Enshan said: "The dagger was brought back by my brother when he went to the Western Regions. I like it very much, so I have never left it. I just didn't expect that the dagger suddenly disappeared two days ago. I have been looking for it in the mansion for a long time. All the maids and servants in the courtyard know that my brother scolded me."

His narration process is worthless, even the murder weapon is his belongings, and his so-called falling asleep and throwing the dagger can't really prove it. If there are no variables, this case can be said to be as solid as a mountain of evidence.

Seeing that Lu Zheng didn't speak, Lu Enshan became anxious immediately: "My lord, my lord, I really didn't..."

"Don't worry, let me ask you, you said you fell asleep last night, do you remember anything strange happened?" Lu Zheng asked again.

Lu Enshan thought about it in confusion: "It's a strange thing... no..."

"Just say anything, like strange sounds or smells, or..."

"It's really strange to say that. I drank less than a jug of wine that day, and I became drunk in a daze. I usually drink three catties without blinking."

Lu Zheng frowned, and said to Bao Zheng: "Send someone to check if there is any problem in the wine."

Bao Zheng stepped down in response.

Lu Zheng asked again: "Is there anything else?"

Lu Enshan hesitated for a while before saying: "Actually, I think something is wrong with my elder brother in the past few days. I also bet on weekdays. Although he said a few words to me, he didn't blame me too much, but he has been too grumpy these days. I ...I know I'm an asshole, but I really won't kill my brother..."

Lu Zheng frowned: "How many days?"

Lu Enshan nodded: "My eldest brother usually has a good temper, but these days, whenever there is a servant who does something wrong, he will scold him loudly. I have also avoided him these days, and I didn't even go to the casino. Don't you believe it? You can ask."

The pen in Lu Zheng's hand paused. From Lu Enshan's mouth, he did not find that the relationship between the two brothers was very bad. Lu Enshan even looked in awe of his elder brother in his words. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Lu Enshan lied. There's no reason to lie anymore.

Lu Zheng went to the side hall with doubts.

The servants of Lu's mansion have already hung white banners in the mansion, and Lu Enguang has no son, so the funeral will inevitably be embarrassing.But Lu Enguang has been in Qingxi County for so many years and has a very good reputation. In such a short period of time, the cries of the people have been heard outside the Lu Mansion.The housekeeper didn't dare to be professional, so he sent letters to Lu Enguang's two daughters, waiting for them to arrive.

At this moment, Lu Enguang's body was placed in the side hall. It was still spring and the weather was not too hot, but if one wanted to wait until the funeral, ice would have to be used.

Dendrobium is concentrating on the autopsy.

Lu Zheng was waiting at the side, Bao Zheng came over and whispered in his ear: "There is nothing wrong with the wine."

Lu Zheng nodded silently, and he asked after Dendrobium's autopsy, "How?"

Dendrobium's face was extremely serious: "Killed with one blow."

Lu Zheng didn't make a sound, all the evidence proved that Lu Enshan committed the crime, and now the words of Dendrobium are like the final hammer, it is almost certain that Lu Enshan is the murderer.

Dendrobium covered Lu Enguang with a white cloth, and then said to Lu Zheng: "Although the cause of death is known, there is still one thing I don't want to understand."

"what's up?"

"The dead man's knuckles are wide. Although he is old, it can still be seen that he was not weak when he was young. Will such a person be killed so easily?"

With a thought in his mind, Lu Zheng asked Bao Zheng, "How about Lu Enshan's skills?"

Bao Zheng frowned: "That man has a big belly, a fluffy lower body, and dull eyes. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person whose body has been hollowed out by wine and sex."

Lu Zheng stood up suddenly: "Go to the scene."

When he arrived at the scene, Lu Zheng walked up and down where Lu Enguang's body was laid out.

Bao Zheng bumped into Dendrobium, and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking, my lord?"

Dendrobium was also concentrating on watching the scene, but was startled by Bao Zheng, and quickly came back to his senses, unsure: "Maybe it's because there is something wrong with this case?" He pointed to the ground, "The knife was inserted from the front through the chest, which means that the deceased We were face to face with the murderer, even if Lu Enguang didn't have the kung fu, he wouldn't be killed without struggling at all, right?"

When he said this, Bao Zheng also felt that the overly tidy bedroom in front of him was a bit strange, but if the murderer wasn't Lu Enshan, who was it?

This is what Lu Zheng is thinking about. Lu Enguang is a great kind person, basically no one has an enemy with him, who will come to kill him?

Just as Lu Zheng was thinking, there was a low sound of breaking wind in his ears, he felt a chill on his cheek, and when he turned his head, he saw a small red arrow stuck on the pillar.

"Where is the thief running!" Bao Zheng immediately reacted when he saw the arrow, and chased him out of the house.

"My lord, are you alright!" Dendrobium quickly surrounded him, looking at Lu Zheng worriedly.

Lu Zheng still hadn't reacted a bit, and blinked: "It's okay."

After a while, Bao Zheng came back, and said dejectedly, "I didn't catch him, he disappeared in a blink of an eye." Then he asked Lu Zheng, "Are you alright, my lord?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "It's okay."

Bao Zheng didn't let them do anything, he stepped forward directly, and took off the small arrow stuck on the pillar, with a small note pinned to it.

"There is a crime in the case, and it is not easy to get justice. Finding the murderer is a guarantee, and you will know it at first sight."

Bao Zheng read the content inside, then widened his eyes and said: "This is the red-clothed bandit calling the Lord a challenge."

Lu Zheng took the note, thought about it a thousand times, then nodded and said: "It seems that there is indeed an inside story in this case, if he has signed the gauntlet, I will accept it."

"But what does this note mean?" Bao Zheng was still puzzled.

Lu Zheng was also a little confused. According to what was said above, there was another case in this murder case. The so-called justice should refer to Lu Enshan. It seems that the red-clothed thief did know something, but since he knew that there was something wrong with this case. As for the inside story, according to his usual methods, why not do it by himself?

Lu Zheng asked Dendrobium: "Is the cause of death completely certain?"

Dendrobium was very sure: "The cause of death can never be wrong."

Bao Zheng asked again: "Is it possible that he was drugged and unable to move? That's why he couldn't fight back, which allowed the murderer to succeed?"

Dendrobium still shook his head: "I'm sure, he didn't take any medicine."

Although Dendrobium is not very old, Lu Zheng recognized his professional level very much. If he said that he was sure, there would be nothing wrong.That being the case, the murderer's kung fu must be much higher than that of Lu Enguang, so that he could be killed without any resistance, but the murderer still recruited Lu Enshan to take the blame, why is that?

Lu Zheng couldn't figure it out. Of course, it can be guessed that the murderer hated the Lu family brothers, so he used this method to kill the two people. It can be said that his kung fu can kill them directly, so why use such a roundabout method? What is the solution?

This case seems simple and clear, but in fact it is full of doubts. Now, this seemingly provocative letter from the red robber has dragged the case into a deeper whirlpool.

Bao Zheng scratched his head: "I really don't understand."

Lu Zheng sighed: "Okay, it's useless to stay here all the time, let's go back first."

Bao Zheng said with a more helpless expression than him: "Now go back, how can the old fritters laugh at us?"

Dendrobium couldn't help but whispered: "He will only laugh at you, Brother Bao..."

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then he said in shock: "What did you say, Little Shitou! Little Shitou, you have learned badly! Did you hear me, sir! I couldn't believe my ears! It was Tie Dan who taught you to be bad, right!"

Dendrobium hid behind Lu Zheng, clutching his hair that was messed up by Bao Zheng, and Lu Zheng's slightly depressed mood was immediately wiped away by the actions of these two people.
