So I play chess

Chapter 224 Another Murder Case
The courtyard is divided into two floors, inside and outside. Entering from the first courtyard gate is a rather quiet and elegant courtyard. There are no tables and chairs, and there are no servants to take care of it. It is just a place to isolate the sound of the inner courtyard.

When everyone stepped into it, the smell of blood became stronger. At the same time, they could clearly see the red, green, and green lights reflected on the lowest floor of the small building in the courtyard. They should have been able to make some sounds together, but It was extremely quiet now, and the whole situation seemed extremely uncoordinated.

Several people at the scene felt that something was wrong, so they didn't stay for half a minute, and only went to the second floor courtyard.

The two servants pushed open the gate of the second floor first, the scene was different when the gate was opened.

First of all, there is no other shelter in the courtyard, and the whole picture of the Xinghua Terrace can be seen clearly.

In Tongcheng, counting the counties under its jurisdiction, there are quite a few trick houses, but most of them are now under the name of Master Sun. Made a distinction.

Most of them are called "courtyards", with the smallest scale and the least cost, but the visitors are only looking for "color", and it is not easy to ask for more.

Then there is the "building", which is the largest in scale and the cost is in the middle. The women in it are excellent in "color" and "art".

Finally, it is called "Taiwan" like this Xinghuatai. It is in the middle of the scale, but it is the most expensive, and it is much more elegant than the other two. In addition to the word "art", I have a good understanding of the rich and nobles in the nearby states and counties, the Southern Chu, Beiyu, and even some political affairs in Liangzhou back then, and they are all understanding and easy to understand. language flower.

Visitors can be distinguished from the names according to their different needs.

The latter two are also the best sources of information for the Sun family, and the manpower defense in between has naturally been properly arranged.

At this moment, the courtyard door on the second floor is facing the main building of Xinghua Terrace. There are three floors in total, the lowest floor is brightly lit, and the upper two floors are only faintly illuminated depending on the room.However, no matter which floor, there is no sound at all.

Before everyone could see what happened, the two servants who came in first saw two people lying on the ground in front of the building.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward to check, one of the two was obviously a servant in the building, the other was probably a guest, the two of them were already out of breath, and each had only one wound, on the left and right sides of the back of the neck, which should have been stabbed from behind Cull.

Wen Liang saw that the wound was clean and neat, the person who used the knife should be a top expert.

The other two young men didn't talk much, and ran to the more secret place in the courtyard, one left and one right respectively. The dark guard and Tang Mingyi's guard, together with Hua Ji, followed one of the young men and ran to the left, while Wen Liang and Tang Mingyi ran to the left. Together with another boy, they ran to the back of a small pavilion, and saw another corpse lying in it.

Wen Liang hurriedly went forward to check, and found that this one was still dressed like the Xinghuatai boy, and the wound was the same as the first two people found.The only difference is that there is a knife on his waist, and he should be the one who secretly performs the duty of guarding.

Now that this was the case here, the three of them knew what the building might look like, and they didn't dare to delay any longer, and they all went towards the main building of Xinghuatai together.

There was nothing extra to say during this period, and the boy also changed his appearance just now, his expression was not the slightest bit frightened, on the contrary he became cautious and sharp, obviously it was a matter of course.Since he was the first to push the door and enter, a stronger smell of blood was completely unstoppable, rushing towards these people.

In the middle of the main building of Xinghuatai is a small pool, on which there are two small bridges, one vertical and one horizontal, for people to walk on, adding an elegant function.In the north, there is a slightly higher platform, which is obviously used as a singing and dancing venue. On the east and west sides, there are some tables and chairs for individual guests, each with about eight or nine pairs.

The second floor is also recognizable at a glance, but there are some separated small rooms, which are convenient for visitors to discuss matters by themselves.

But now no matter the first floor or the second floor, there are still waves in the pool, the wine that was spilled on the table by the overturned jug is still dripping down the edge of the table, and even the lanterns hanging in the hall are still shaking. Corresponding to the lights used for lighting or embellishing the atmosphere everywhere, people can see at a glance what kind of lively scene this place was just a moment ago.

But now, whether in the small pond, or the seats scattered on both sides, or in the middle of the small room, there are no less than thirty corpses lying there.

Everyone moves separately.The boy from Xinghuatai went forward to examine the corpse, while Tang Mingyi rushed to the back of the platform where it might lead to the backyard, and Wen Liang himself climbed the stairs to the third floor to check.

Different from the two floors below, the third floor was individually screened and divided into rooms. Wen Liang quickly opened the doors one by one while trying to ensure his own security, and then checked the layout and whether there was a place to hide stature.

The conditions of the rooms are different, some are empty, some have a single female corpse, and some have two corpses of a man and a woman, but none of them survived.It wasn't until Wen Liang bumped into the innermost room on the west side that he finally noticed something different.

There was no sign of a fight in this room, the lights were not extinguished, and there was a rather obese male corpse lying in the corner of the bed.Wen Liang was about to leave at first glance, but suddenly a thought flashed through him, making him turn around and get into the room again.

Although the number of corpses in those rooms was different just now, it was just the difference between one or two corpses, and there was always a female corpse among them, and there was never only one male corpse.

So Wen Liang closed the door carefully, and then walked towards the bed while holding the long sword at his waist.

The bed is hung with light gauze curtains, and the lights are faintly visible when the lights are turned on, which is just right, it must have been arranged with a lot of thought.And the obese man used a very unusual posture, bowed his back and curled up on the side of the bed against the wall, the blood from the wound on his neck had already soaked the bedding.

"Come out." Wen Liang pulled out his sword to open the curtain, and gave a light drink.

Following this sound, the obese man's body "shuddered" slightly, but he still didn't make any sound. However, when he looked closely at this time, he could already clearly see some pale pink shirt corners coming from under the man's body. It came out, and the skin like arms or thighs could be seen through the gap, and there was obviously a petite woman hiding behind it.

However, the other party still had no intention of moving, Wen Liang didn't want to wait any longer, and took another step closer. Suddenly, the fat man's body was pushed away, and something was thrown from behind him, attacking Wen Liang's face.
