The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1656 Murder Case
"Murder?" Xuan Shijing frowned: "On this boat?"

"Returning to Duke Xuan, that's right. Lord Di should be here soon." That Lord Zhang said.

The Master Di mentioned by Mr. Zhang is Di Renjie. It is well known in Dali Temple that this young man who is new to Dali Temple has followed Xuan Shijing's path and has some relationship with the Xuan family, but this Di Renjie is indeed capable. , After coming to Dali Temple, many difficult cases have been cleared up. Now in Dali Temple, once there is a case, the first thing Dai Zhou thinks of is to ask Di Renjie to investigate.

If it goes on like this, Di Renjie's seat in Dali Temple will be moved soon.

"What is the identity of the dead person?" Xuan Shijing asked. "

"The lower officials have just arrived, and we need to inquire about the specific situation." Mr. Zhang said.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Well, if that's the case, I won't disturb your investigation."

Professional things have to be done by professional people, Xuan Shijing just took Qin Bingyue out to relax, it was Li Chengqian's rest and bathing day for him, why bother to bump into some official business again?Think you are not tired enough?
"Yes, Duke Xuan, there is one more thing." Mr. Zhang said, cupping his hands.

"En? What's the matter?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This... Before Master Di comes, can Xuan Gong's painting stop here temporarily?" Master Zhang asked.

Xuan Shijing pondered for a while, nodded, and said in response: "Okay, I just want to leave."

Master Zhang did this, and Xuan Shijing also knew why. A murder happened on the boat next to the boat he was in. The entire Xuanwu Lake was guarded by the people of Dali Temple. All the boats and boats on the lake were not allowed to move. The purpose is to solve the case and find the murderer. If these boats are not controlled and placed in the lake, the murderer will mix with other boats and go ashore. After landing, it will be a bit troublesome to find the murderer.

Now this Xuanwu Lake, as long as there are no boats docked and no one goes ashore, it is a huge "secret room".

Xuan Shijing also watched a lot of episodes of Reaper elementary school students, at least before Xuan Shijing came to Datang, the elementary school students were still in the first grade.

Sherlock Holmes in the Heisei era is probably about to die, so let's change his dream, such as being promoted to the second grade of elementary school or something.

Although Master Zhang made this request to Xuan Shijing, it was somewhat offensive to Xuan Shijing, but Xuan Shijing could also understand that if the officials of Dali Temple could work hard like this, there wouldn't be any cases that couldn't be solved, wouldn't they?Now that a homicide case has occurred here, there is nothing wrong with Mr. Zhang doing this.

Qin Bingyue also came to Xuan Shijing's side. Seeing that there were officials and soldiers on the painting boat next to her, she asked softly, "Husband, what happened?"

"Someone has died, and the people of Dali Temple will investigate the case again, and ask our boat not to dock for the time being, but to stay here and not move." Xuan Shijing said.

"Why, they suspect that your husband is not good?" Qin Bingyue frowned.

Xuan Shijing shook his head: "No, the people in Dali Temple are just doing routine work. It's normal. Let's cooperate with them. Anyway, if you are upright, you won't be afraid of the shadow being crooked, and it won't take much effort."

Qin Bingyue nodded her head, her eyes darkened, she originally came out to relax and play, but this happened to her, it's really bad luck.

Xuan Shijing patted Qin Bingyue on the shoulder, looked at her tenderly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, I'm going to live in Chang'an City for a while, not just tonight, even tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I can continue to come out no."

Xuan Shijing could still see Qin Bingyue's careful thinking.

Soon, the people from Dali Temple who entered the cabin came out and told Mr. Zhang about the clues that could be found in the cabin and what they asked.

Mr. Zhang obviously couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he said that Di Renjie would come too.

At this time, the officials of Dali Temple should have "come home from get off work".The reason why Master Zhang came so quickly is because it was his turn to be on duty in Dali Temple today. When someone was found dead at Xuanwu Lake, the people on the boat next to him quickly went ashore to report the crime to Chang'an Mansion. Where are the brothers and sisters of Dali Temple among them?Besides, there was Di Renjie in Dali Temple recently, who suddenly emerged and was a good investigator. People from Chang'an Mansion went to Dali Temple, and Dali Temple was mobilized.

The murder case is a very important case for both Chang'an Mansion and Dali Temple.

On weekdays, Chang'an Mansion is in charge of mostly trivial matters between the common people in Chang'an City or near Chang'an City. Cases involving human life will be reported to Dali Temple for the people of Dali Temple to handle.

After a long time, a small boat on the shore rowed towards this side, and when it got close, Xuan Shijing saw Di Renjie standing on the bow, formally dressed in fabric.

Di Renjie heard at home that people from Dali Temple came to say that there was a murder case in Xuanwu Lake, so he didn't wear official robes, and rushed to Xuanwu Lake in plain clothes.

After getting on the boat from the small boat, Di Renjie chatted with Mr. Zhang for a few words, and then entered the cabin of the boat, with a hurried look on his face, he didn't even notice Xuan Shijing who was standing on the boat next door.

"Boatman." Xuan Shijing turned around and looked at the boatman standing on the deck.

"Hey, you're here, my lord, what's the matter?" The boatman came to Xuan Shijing and asked, cupping his hands.

"Do you know who is on the painting boat next door?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"This... the owner of this painting boat is a little familiar, and they all live on Xuanwu Lake. As for who the guests on this painting boat are, the young ones have no way of knowing. On this Xuanwu Lake, most of the people who come every night It’s the same, but there are also differences, no one knows which patron can be carried by this boat today, and whether there will be such a good deal tomorrow.” Said the owner of the boat.

Perhaps the painting boat next door just happened to stop around the painting boat where Xuan Shijing was, and then happened to be killed on it.

Xuan Shijing nodded after hearing what the boatman said, and looked at Qin Bingyue: "Let's go into the cabin, maybe people from Dali Temple will come to us soon."

Routine questioning is indispensable, who let their painting boat get closer to the scene of the crime?

Xuan Shijing and Qin Bingyue entered the cabin, and Di Renjie also saw the scene of the crime on the other side of the boat.

On the surface of the water, this painting boat is like a secret room, even if a person is dead or killed, the murderer cannot leave this painting boat.

In addition to the boatman, there were two servants accompanying the deceased on the painting boat, two girls brought out from the brothel, including the deceased, a total of six people.

It can be seen from the scenes in the painting boat that the deceased brought his servants and called three girls to drink and have fun on Xuanwu Lake...
