Kaifeng House Small Dining Table

"Also, there is this drugged white powder between the teeth of the first female corpse with a broken leg." The amount of powder is not much, and in order to highlight its existence, Gongsun Ce specially wrapped it in blue paper for everyone to see.

Gongsun Ce then continued to add: "The scalp at the root of her hair showed signs of redness and swelling. This was not the case with the second female corpse with a mutilated arm. I checked carefully three times, and I can confirm that the whole body of the second female corpse is There is no scar, and there is no residue of this drug powder in the mouth."

"It's strange. Since the two deceased died in the same way, why did they have different methods of attack? The first female corpse had red and swollen scalp, and powder remained in her mouth, which was obviously caused by force-feeding drugs. The second corpse was not like that." Ma Han wondered. Solution.

Zhan Zhao speculated: "Could it be that a cup of medicine is given to two people at the same time, the first one drinks half a cup, naturally there is no medicine powder, and the second one drinks half a cup, there is just leftover medicine powder left between the teeth inside."

"I still can't explain why there is such a ball of paper in the sleeve bag of the female corpse." Bai Yutang raised a different opinion, "If the person throwing the corpse is the murderer, even throwing the corpse so casually by the river, there is no need to deliberately throw the bag over The paper ball of medicine is hidden in the sleeve pocket of the deceased."

Everyone felt that Bai Yutang's words made sense, and they became even more confused. It was difficult to use normal logic to explain the situation in front of him reasonably.

"Maybe there are two murderers." Zhao Hanyan interjected.

"Two people?" Gongsun Ce was surprised. After frowning and thinking about it, he nodded, thinking that there was such a possibility.

Zhao Hanyan and others still couldn't figure it out, and asked Zhao Hanyan to explain the reason in detail.

"In the beginning we saw two disabled but good-looking women die by the river. They had a lot in common. We naturally thought that it was caused by a murderer with strange hobbies. Without considering one of them, it is very likely It's the murderer."

"The murderer is one of the dead?" After thinking for a while, Bai Yutang suddenly understood what happened, and looked at Zhao Hanyan approvingly.

"What's going on, please explain to us quickly. Bai Shaoxia figured it out, we stupid people haven't figured it out yet!" Ma Han was about to scratch his head.

"I have a speculation, everyone can listen to it to see if it is reasonable.

The first female deceased drugged the second female deceased, and she dissolved the drug in water first, and took the opportunity to trick the second female deceased into drinking it. Because she was afraid of being discovered when she administered the drug, the paper bag containing the drug was hurriedly Put it in your sleeve pocket.After the second female deceased drank the medicine and passed out, the first deceased was suffocated to death with the method of "attaching officials".

The "Tiejiaguan" killing method does not leave traces like beating people. Many officials know that this method can prevent prisoners from having evidence of torture to extract confessions, and it is one of the methods that leave no traces in the killing methods.The first female deceased used this method, probably to create the illusion of sudden or accidental death of the second female deceased, in order to get rid of her own suspicion. "

"It sounds reasonable. It matches the evidence we found and can explain it." Zhan Zhao nodded, agreeing with Zhao Hanyan's guess.

"What about the death of the first woman?" Mahan asked.

Gongsun Ce twirled his beard and said, "According to Brother Zhao's speculation, the murderer who killed the first female victim was most likely the master they served. This master discovered the evil deeds of the first female deceased." , was very angry, and punished her in the same way, and treated her body in the same way. This kind of drug powder is actually easy to dissolve in water. But because it is punishment, I don’t have time to dissolve the medicine, so I dragged her hair to force After feeding the medicine powder and then pouring water, there were obvious traces of the medicine powder left between the teeth."

Everyone nodded, thinking that what Zhao Hanyan and Gongsun Ce said was reasonable.

"Then why did you just throw the bodies of the two of them by the river?"

"This should be regarded as a punishment, and more importantly, a warning." Zhao Hanyan pondered the psychology of 'master murderer', "Both women are well-dressed and well-dressed. It can be seen that they lived a pampered life before they were born. At the same time, It can be seen that the second female deceased was better dressed than the first."

Gongsun Ce promised that he had also carefully looked at the second deceased's jewelry, which was indeed much more valuable.

Zhao Hanyan: "Injustice in distribution can easily lead to jealousy and motives for committing crimes. It is not easy to make up your mind to kill someone, especially for a disabled person like her. So there may be other reasons in it, for example, the second deceased had oppressed her in normal times, which made her change from jealousy to hatred.

The 'owners' of the two dead men killed the murderer after learning of this, and realized that both men had made a mistake in this incident, and threw their bodies out as punishment.The reason for doing this, on the one hand, is to warn others that no one will end well if they play tricks, and on the other hand, it is very likely that his behavior style is so habitual, those who follow me will prosper and those who oppose me will perish.As long as you are obedient, they can pamper you and give you wealth and glory, but if you violate the rules, your life will be dealt with like grass, and you will die without a place to die. "

Everyone was shocked after listening to it, and felt that the little cook seemed to have witnessed the murder with his own eyes.Everyone speculated about who and what kind of identity would do such a thing.

Zhao Hanyan then asked Gongsun Ce when the two deceased died.

"Probably in the daytime yesterday." Gongsun Ce said.

"The city gate is closed at night, and a token is required to leave the city. The murderer will not be so stupid as to use the token to reveal his identity when throwing the body. Focus on finding out that the carriages entered and exited at dusk last night and when the city gate was just opened this morning. Condition."

"These two times are when the number of people entering and leaving the city is the largest." Wang Chao sighed that it was difficult to check.

"It's not easy to find the murderer." Bai Yutang sent Wang Chao and others to set off quickly, "Now that there are clues to investigate, don't waste time. Don't forget, the dumb little girl Qian Shi took away is still there. Not found. A mute is also a disability."

Bai Yutang's words made Chao Chao and others tremble and panic.

"Could it be that Qian Shi's case has something to do with this?" Zhao Hu asked.

Ma Han frowned, "I have a vague premonition, if they are all disabled, they will still be pretty girls..."

Wang Chao, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu looked at each other, and immediately picked up the knife and set off to investigate.

Gongsun Ce immediately asked Zhan Zhao to inquire about any men from wealthy families in Tokyo who have this hobby.

"Ordinary people can't find out about this." Bai Yutang said, "If dignitaries with such a hobby spread it everywhere, they must come in private. It's more suitable for me to come here!"

Zhan Zhao also felt that he seemed unable to handle this matter, so he handed over his hands and thanked Bai Yutang for his help.

Bai Yutang said coldly: "Whoever helps you is just doing his own duty, you don't have to thank him."

Zhan Zhao smiled, knowing that Bai Yutang was arrogant, so he automatically omitted the first half of the sentence, and only heard "You are welcome", so he was in a good mood after hearing this.

Zhan Zhao felt that since Little Cook told him about the kitten and the little mouse in front of the two of them, Bai Yutang's attitude towards him was obviously much more friendly than before, and they seemed to be colleagues.

"The Zhan guards are responsible for monitoring the movements of Wangyou Pavilion. I always feel that this treasurer Xue is not easy." Gongsun Ce suggested, "Not only him, but his subordinates are also watching, let's see when he will show up." Horse feet."

"Pang Sangong is very popular among the noble children, how about asking him about this?" Zhao Hanyan suddenly thought of a suggestion.

Bai Yutang immediately asked Zhao Hanyan: "I trust him so much? Even if I knew, would he tell me?"

"You won't lose anything by asking, once you have a clue." Zhao Hanyan replied.

"Then I'll go with you." Zhan Zhao said.

Bai Yutang's lips stopped moving just now, and he didn't make a sound. Seeing the two of them go out, Fang Fang and Mr. Gongsun said goodbye and left.

After leaving the door, Bai Yutang quickly walked to the stable, and saw the little cook Zhan Zhao there from a distance.The little cook was smiling and stroking Zhan Zhao's horse.

"Fei Bai still remembers you, look at him, he still likes you so much." Zhan Zhao said with a smile.

Zhao Hanyan was stunned when she heard the word 'Fei Bai'. How could she have forgotten that Zhan Zhao's horse was also called Fei Bai.She had given Zhao Zhen the name 'Zhao Feibai' before, and if Zhao Zhen later found out that he had the same name as Ma, he would definitely go crazy.

Zhao Hanyan moved his eyeballs, tentatively discussing with Zhan Zhao whether he could change the horse's name.

"Why did you change your name suddenly? Fei Bai is a nice name." Zhan Zhao happily patted the horse's back.

"Actually, I kept holding back and didn't tell you. I have a cousin who also happens to be named Fei Bai. He always said that he came to Kaifeng Mansion to visit me recently. He is very narrow-minded and caressing. Calling Fei Bai will be unhappy. If he is unhappy, I will be miserable." Zhao Hanyan sighed and said in a dazed way.

"Okay, then change his name, but you are responsible for changing it." When Zhan Zhao heard that Zhao Hanyan had a problem, as long as he changed Ma's name to solve the problem, of course he had to agree, it was not a big deal.

"How about Tayun? It sounds good." Zhao Hanyan couldn't think of a better name for a while, and he couldn't just give Zhan Zhao a bad name, that would be embarrassing.So she simply said the name of the Maxima she raised in the princess mansion.

"Okay, I'll call him Tayun from now on." Zhan Zhao touched Ma's face with a smile and asked him if Gao was happy.

Zhao Hanyan also tilted his head to look at the horse, and asked it while wiping its forehead with his hand: "Tayun is very happy to have a new name, isn't it?"

The horse's nose popped twice, as if responding to Zhao Hanyan.

Zhan Zhao couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at him, he's really happy, I think he's about to forget me, the master, and recognize you!"

"That's a good idea, I'll stay, and I'll get Big Brother Zhan a little donkey to ride."

Zhan Zhao tried to imagine himself riding a donkey, and immediately the hairs all over his body stood on end.No, no, if he really rode a donkey, his reputation as a Nan Xia would definitely be lost.

"I'd better lead my horse so that I won't be kidnapped by you." Zhan Zhao smiled and beckoned Zhao Hanyan to leave.

Zhao Hanyan got on the horse and followed Zhan Zhao, leaving the house with him.Neither of them noticed that there was a white figure at the other end of the stable.

When Zhao Hanyan and Zhan Zhao arrived at the Yanhuo Pavilion, they happened to catch up with Grand Master Pang coming out of it.When the hatchbacks met, the atmosphere immediately became awkward.

Grand Master Pang recognized Zhan Zhao at a glance, and as for Zhao Hanyan, after a second glance, he remembered that Bao Zheng had brought him here last time.

Taishi Pang frowned unhappily: "Why are you here?"

"Investigate the case." Zhao Hanyan said to Grand Master Pang, "In the case of the loss of the duohuoqin, there are two statements of evidence that need to be signed and pledged by the third son of your mansion."

Taishi Pang narrowed his eyes, and looked at Zhao Hanyan suspiciously: "If it's as simple as signing and making a deposit, you can just send a young boy here, and you need to come in person with the fourth-rank guards. Could it be that the Kaifeng mansion is very busy recently, and there is no case to investigate? But why did I just hear that two female corpses were found at the water gate on Caihe River.

Instead of doing your best to thoroughly investigate the murder case and quell the panic of the people in the city, you come here to fool around. It would be better to feed the chickens and lay eggs if the imperial court food is used on you useless people. "

"What the grand master said is that the juniors don't know how to lay eggs, so it's far worse than you working hard." Zhao Hanyan hurriedly cupped his hands to 'admit his mistake'.

Grand Master Pang was so angry that his seven orifices immediately smoked.He stared at Zhao Hanyan with his eyes wide open, wanting to stare them out.This Yacha is so eloquent that he dares to insinuate that he can lay eggs.

"What's your name?" Taishi Pang searched Zhao Hanyan up and down with his sharp eyes.

"Junior Zhao Feibai." Zhao Hanyan replied.

Grand Master Pang sneered, "Alright, Zhao Feibai, I remember you!"

Grand Master Pang snorted coldly, and led a group of people away in a huff.

After Zhan Zhao waited for Grand Master Pang to leave, he looked at Zhao Hanyan both amused and worried, "Why do you say that kind of thing to provoke him, just ignore him. Also, why did you call Zhao Feibai?"

"Zhao Han, the word Feibai, can't you? Anyway, I haven't started the word yet, so it's a good word." Zhao Hanyan giggled, and whispered to Zhan Zhao, "When Grand Master Pang scolds me in the future, he will call me that. Cousin’s name is out, hahaha.”

"You, what will you do if your cousin finds out about this?" Zhan Zhao worried, "Didn't you harm him? Grand Master Pang is not easy to mess with."

"No, my cousin is amazing, don't worry about my little things." Zhao Hanyan knew that Zhan Zhao had already guessed that she was unusual, so he didn't hesitate to tell him that his cousin was amazing.

Zhan Zhao felt that Zhao Hanyan had always done things properly, since she dared to make this joke, she must be able to afford it, so she didn't pursue it further.

"It's a happy answer to that sentence just now!"

Zhao Hanyan and Zhan Zhao entered the Firework Pavilion together.

At this moment, the windows on the second floor of the Yanhuo Pavilion creaked and were completely closed.Wangchen helped his son sit down at the table and poured tea for him.

"I never thought that Princess Pingkang would even dare to mess with the grand master, and she is so clever. I really admire her." Wang Chen gradually realized the difference between Zhao Hanyan, and also understood a little bit why the third son of his family would be so clever. I can't forget her all the time.Princess Pingkang is indeed different from ordinary royal ladies, with a particularly attractive aura on her body.

After Pang Yanqing heard Wangchen's words, a very proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.He drooped his eyes and drank his tea. He was in a good mood. It could be said that he was the happiest in recent days.

At this time, the servant girl came back and forth to report the arrival.

Wangchen looked at Pang Yanqing.

Pang Yanqing: "Let them come up later."

"Yes!" The maidservant stepped back after agreeing.

Pang Yanqing sat in front of the duohuoqin and played a piece of Gaoshan Liushui.

The melody is melodious, tactful to listen to, the sound is in the ear, piercing the heart.

Zhao Hanyan and Zhan Zhao were sitting in the hall on the first floor, when they suddenly heard the sound of the piano from the second floor, both of them were fascinated by it, even the maid serving tea was too noisy.

After a song, the lingering sound lingers in my ears, as if I am still in the mountains of flowing water, unable to extricate myself.

"Many people play this song, but it has never sounded as good as it does today." Zhan Zhao sighed, "Pang Sangong's piano skills are really amazing."

"Yeah." Zhao Hanyan nodded

"Just an 'huh'? Nothing else to say? You usually praise people a lot." Zhan Zhao asked curiously.

"There are no words." Zhao Hanyan sighed, and then saw Wang Chen came down, knowing that he was here to ask her and Zhan Zhao to go up, so he got up, "It's my fault that I don't usually read enough, so I can't find good words to describe it. "

Zhan Zhao smiled, "I have read less than you, and I dare not make unreasonable comments."

In the study, Pang Yanqing invited Zhao Hanyan and Zhan Zhao to sit down, and first apologized for his father's rudeness to them just now.

Zhao Hanyan was surprised: "Could it be that you heard it just now?"

"Wangchen told me just now," Pang Yanqing said.

"Your father is very kind, and he didn't make things difficult for us." Zhao Hanyan praised Grand Master Pang for his 'magnanimity'.

Pang Yanqing couldn't help laughing, reassuring Zhao Hanyan that she would take care of the rest.

Zhan Zhao was a little confused: "What to deal with?"

"What else can the grand master do when he is angry? Please refer to the book. Mr. Bao is not strict with his subordinates. Kaifeng Mansion has raised a group of incompetent people." Zhao Hanyan made a guess.

Zhan Zhao suddenly nodded, and looked at Zhao Hanyan and Pang Yanqing with some puzzlement.The two spoke very well, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Then Pang Yanqing heard Zhao Hanyan's brief talk about the case, frowned and thought about it, and smiled gently: "Suddenly, I can't think of anyone, but there are some, I have vaguely heard of them. When many children talk about these things, I consciously put My ears are blocked, so I don’t bother to listen. I’ll ask someone later, and I’ll give you the news.”

"That's great." Zhao Hanyan was very happy when he heard that there was hope, and thanked Pang Yanqing for his help.

"It's nothing compared to what you've done for me." Pang Yanqing emphasized 'you' a little.

Zhan Zhao: "Third Young Master is too polite. We are just doing our duty to retrieve the duohuoqin. But you have no responsibility to inquire us about this kind of news."

"Yes, it was a great help." Zhao Hanyan also thanked Pang Yanqing.

"You two are too polite, but you don't want to be friends with me? Then I have to consider whether I can help you with this."

"Okay, okay, are you welcome?" Zhao Hanyan said, "By the way, the name Wangchen is good. Was it his real name, or the third son?"

"It's my mother. She saw that I was thinking a lot, and she always told me to think less, so she named Wang Chen this name."

"Madam Tai Shi has worked hard, don't let her down." Zhao Hanyan sighed.

Pang Yanqing raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Zhao Hanyan intently: "Since three years ago, I haven't thought about it so much. I've been concentrating on recuperating from my illness. I only hope that my body will be better. Good days are waiting for me in the future."

"Well, yes, you should think so!"

Zhao Hanyan was happy for Pang Yanqing.When Zhao Hanyan met him three years ago, he was really worried that his personality would develop into depression if he continued to develop.

"These are two jade pendants. I give them to you as a gift between friends." Pang Yanqing gave the two white jade pendants to Zhan Zhao and Zhao Hanyan respectively.

Zhao Hanyan's piece is round, with intricate patterns engraved on it, and there are no less than a dozen kinds of birds and beasts.The piece of Zhan Zhao is crescent-shaped.

Both of them declined, but in the end, under Pang Yanqing's insistence, they had no choice but to accept.

After the two left, Pang Yanqing wrote a memorial according to Taishi Pang's handwriting, and ordered Wang Chen to replace it in the middle of the night.

"The grand master won't really write the memorial and participate in the Kaifeng Mansion, right?" Wang Chen didn't believe it.

"You'll know the answer when you go." Pang Yanqing asked Wang Chen if his shoulders were better.

Wangchen: "It's okay to kill people."

"Then go kill it." Pang Yanqing replied lightly, and continued playing the piano instead.

Wangchen stepped back and prepared.

The next day, there was another corpse on the bank of the Cai River.Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion knows him as the kidnapper Qian Shi.
