Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript

Chapter 5 The Golden Water Poison Murder Case 5

Zhan Zhao bowed his head and said nothing, the Juque sword hit the ground one after another.On the surface, Zhengdao Wulin disdained to use such dark methods, even if they were found out, they would bite to death and deny it.It is inconvenient for the court to come forward for this kind of matter, usually in private or to smooth things over.In the end, the village can only die in vain.

Seeing the embarrassment among the crowd, Detective Liu hurriedly put the topic aside, "Actually, it's not considered all dead. The village head of Jinshui Town has an adopted adopted daughter who was away visiting relatives when the incident happened, so she escaped for a while. Jie. It's a pity that the blow was too great, and I have been in a coma, and I don't know if I have woken up now."

"Then there's probably nothing to ask." Bai Yutang said.

"Everything will be decided after getting Jinshui Town."

In contrast, Zhan Zhao is more optimistic. He has handled many cases with Mr. Bao, and the most unlikely person is usually the person involved in the crime. If you think about it better, maybe this woman can bring them some news.

"You said that you are so exhausted doing things for Bao Zheng, you might as well be a Nanxia." Bai Yutang leaned back on his chair and laughed.

After traveling by water, the group finally arrived in the city of Xiangzhou before dinner.I heard that the Xiangzhou city plaque was mentioned by the magistrate himself, but unfortunately Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang didn't see any good in those three words.

"The prosperity here is not inferior to Kaifeng."

Bai Yutang rode on horseback, passing the long street, he looked gorgeous, he was really a gentleman, he attracted many little girls in the city to throw melon and fruit handkerchiefs, almost hitting his head.

Zhan Zhao is relatively calm and dignified, modest and courteous, and the ones he attracts are women with maids, who are not good at throwing objects in the street because of their status, so they have to look at them secretly, and Bai Yutang kicks with his right foot in anger, kicking the horse under Zhan Zhao on the ass.

The magistrate originally prepared a sedan chair for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, but unfortunately the two were more used to riding horses, so it became a group of policemen carrying the empty sedan chair behind, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang rushed to the Yamen first.

The magistrate of Xiangzhou is a very rich old man, seeing that the two wanted to go to the Fugui Building to hold a banquet, Zhan Zhao repeatedly declined several times, saying that it was too late and no trouble to stop.

By the time Zhan Zhao remembered to interrogate the righteous daughter of the village chief, the magistrate had disappeared.

The rooms in the yamen are very luxuriously arranged.

"Where is this a yamen? Some people believe that it is a restaurant. I think the magistrate is just a bag of wine and food. This case is such a big one. I guess it is to please you to handle it for him, so as to appease the officials."

Bai Zhantang sneered, picked up the vase by the door to look at it, "Isn't this vase made in the Sui Dynasty? It's quite rich." In the past, there was only one word to deal with this kind of official, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. For use, you can only walk around with your hands behind your back.

"After checking and repairing the book, I will tell Mr. Bao that if I catch something wrong, I will definitely send it down."

Zhan Zhao agreed unexpectedly this time.

Xiangzhou is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is not as rich as Kaifeng, it is not far behind. Not to mention the magistrate, even the small documents of the yamen can be full.

The next morning, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao were ready to go.

"My lords have been waiting for a long time!" A skinny man from outside the hall walked in and bowed to Zhan Zhao, "I'm really sorry, but the villain is the master of Lou Zhifu. My lord was asked to leave early in the morning because he had something important to do. Deal with it, let me tell you two, let Detective Liu go with you on this trip, and he won't go."

"Master, you're so polite." Zhan Zhao stepped forward to help Master Lou, who was half bent over, "It's important, I will go with Bai Shaoxia on this trip."

"Thank you Mr. Zhan for your understanding." The master smiled like a chrysanthemum, "I learned that the two of you like to drink Chen Shao. Yesterday afternoon, the magistrate ordered someone to go to the famous wine village in Xiangzhou to buy back a jar. When you two come back, we can drink it again." Let's have a drink."

"Thank you for your trouble, the prefect, and please thank the master for us."

"Where is it, then I won't bother you. It's getting late, and the villain will leave first."

"Walk slowly."

"Hey, there is something important to do, I think the prefect must be too lazy to go out." Bai Yutang folded his arms and leaned against the door in disapproval.

"Don't worry, when I go back, it's like a package of adult ginseng."

"Hey cat, you've turned bad!" Bai Yutang seemed to have discovered something new, and leaned in front of Zhan Zhao, looking at him.

"But that master is right, it's getting late, we'd better go to Jinshui Town as soon as possible."

Detective Liu quickly walked ahead to lead the way for the two of them.

"Jinshui town still has a pair of brothers guarding it. Wu Zuo said that it is not easy to keep the corpses for a long time in hot weather. Most of them were buried after the autopsy. The remaining few were coated with embalming water, but now they are also very smelly. The two adults will do it first. Be mentally prepared."

After arriving at Jinshui Town, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao first checked around the ground, and there was nothing wrong with it from the outside, as if they had disappeared suddenly.

"Go up and have a look," Zhan Zhao pointed to the tallest building in the town, which was a circular storage tower.

Bai Yutang jumped up, stepped onto the roof, and then grabbed the eaves and went up step by step.Zhan Zhao went around the bottom and found a locked door.

"Commissioner Liu," seeing the dust on the door, Zhan Zhao called to the policemen who came to search.

"Master Zhan has discovered something!"

"No, did you find the key for this lock?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, pointing to the door and asking.

"It doesn't seem to be. The prefect is worried that the scene will be destroyed. Except for the outside of the house, almost nothing inside is allowed to be touched by the brothers. They say it is... that they wait for Mr. Bao to send someone down." Detective Liu is a little guilty.

"No wonder." Zhan Zhao was speechless for a while, so he had to gather his internal strength and chop the lock with his bare hands. There was a crash, and the chain broke.

"Ahem..." The moment the door was opened, a cloud of dust rushed towards them, and the two quickly covered their noses and mouths.

When the dust dissipated, I realized that the round tower has three floors. The stairs are built on one side, and the middle of the tower is empty. It is not a good place for storage. Generally, the mountains are humid, and the first floor is easy to be eaten by insects. All the things in the house will be placed on the second floor, and here, the second and third floors are so small that there is no room for big things.

"My lord, is it empty in here?" Yes, there is almost nothing in here.Detective Liu was puzzled. This kind of round pagoda looked like a common place for the villagers. How come there were no other things except scattered bookshelves?

"You go out first, I'll take a look alone." Zhan Zhao felt that the matter was more than that simple, the door was locked with dust, and this place hadn't been opened for at least several years, so it would be understandable to put it in other places, but for the store It's kind of weird in terms of things.

"In the end, what is there in this village? Could it be that he was related to martial arts and was silenced?" Zhan Zhao muttered to himself, stepping on the empty stairs, the sound of thumping was echoed loudly.
