Daxuannv's sentence

Chapter 37 Xiangyun
The shrill voice pierced through the bustling lobby and truly reached everyone's ears. Zhu You and Ye Ke reacted immediately and rushed into the back hall, and all the yamen servants immediately put away With a cynical attitude, everyone immediately performed their duties and blocked the entrance, and the rest of the people also surrounded the entire fence to ensure that no one could enter or exit.

The back hall of Goulan is not big, and behind the stage is a dressing room, where all the actors are dressed up, covered with costumes, there are many dressing tables in the room, and the whole room is full of makeup.

Zhu You and Ye Ke walked through the dressing room, which was the backyard, with a patio in the middle, wing rooms on both sides and the front, and a small courtyard gate on the north side.

The backyard is noisy at the moment, a dozen or so actors and actresses are surrounding there, their makeup still on their faces, looking at a wing room in the northwest, pointing and terrified.

Ye Ke immediately pushed aside the crowd and rushed into the wing room. Zhu You immediately ordered to the servants who rushed in behind him: "Look at that door." Then he rushed into the room with a brisk stride. Inside.

It was evening, it was getting dark, but the inside of the room could not be seen clearly. At this moment, Ye Ke was standing at the door, and through the last bit of light coming through the paper window, he could see the beams in the room. There was a person hanging, and the temperature in the room was very low. This scene was extremely scary when viewed from the door.

"No one is allowed to go in." Ye Ke said coldly, and then a servant hurriedly brought a candle.

By candlelight, Ye Ke and Zhu You walked into the room slowly. The hanged person on the beam was a woman. Her long hair was spread out, covering her face, and her limbs were hanging limply in the air. , the candlelight cast her figure onto the opposite wall, forming a huge shadow, as if a ghost was half-lingering on the wall.

Ye Ke glanced at the room, the furnishings were very simple, a bed, a dressing table, a table with tea sets and teapots on it, and a wardrobe, nothing else.

The woman was wearing a pink embroidered dress, and there was only one embroidered shoe of the same color on her feet, and the other shoe was missing.Under her body was a crooked stool lying on the ground, and a hemp rope as thick as an index finger was connecting her to the beam, announcing her death.

There was a foul smell in the air, the smell of excrement.

Zhu You arranged for someone to lift the woman off the beam and lay it flat on the ground. Ye Ke stretched out his hand to touch the woman's body and knew that she had been dead for a long time, because rigor had begun to appear.

After erecting the stool on the ground again and placing it at the foot of the corpse, Ye Ke narrowed his eyes, and his eyes began to change.

Ye Ke took out a pair of gloves from his sleeves, and nodded to Zhu You, Zhu You immediately understood, ordered someone to wave away the idlers, and fetched a pen and paper to take care of himself, a clerk wanted to go forward to record, but Zhu You stare away.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Ke's serious expression reappeared on Ye Ke's face. First, he parted the woman's hair, revealing a delicate face, but her eyes were wide open, and the eyes were flushed. , and after carefully looking at the facial features, Ye Ke's cold voice came.

"Examination, the deceased female, there is no injury on the head, the pupils are dilated, loose and congested, and there is saliva at the corner of the mouth."

Zhu You just wanted to ask what pupils are, but seeing that Ye Ke had already started to carefully examine the wound on his neck, he held back so as not to disturb him.

"There are scratch marks as thick as the index finger on the neck, dark red scratch marks, and the traces of the rope intersect on the back of the neck!"

"The body appeared rigor, and it developed to the whole body. It has not yet reached its peak. It is preliminarily determined that the time of death was six or three hours ago."

"Blood remains in the dead man's nails."

On the announcement, Zhu You's pretty teeny script quickly recorded the details of the autopsy. After a while, Ye Ke stood up and nodded to Zhu You, who immediately put away the post-mortem. The two walked to the door and summoned the class leader. .

The class leader was a middle-aged man, thin, wearing a long brown gown. He hurriedly stepped forward to salute Zhu You and Ye Ke and said, "This villain is the class leader here, Xie Guang. I'm paying my respects to Mr. Ti Xing and Mr. Tui Guan." .”

"What is the name of the deceased?"

"My lord, her name is Xiangyun, she is an actress who joined our Goulan just a year ago."

"What's strange about her recently?"

The leader of the class immediately said after hearing the words: "Reporting to my lord, there is something wrong with Xiangyun recently, she sighed all day, her body has become much weaker, and she has been ill for a month or so. They all said that she has something hidden in her heart, But she never told anyone about it, but she never expected that she would commit suicide in such sorrow."

At this moment, Ye Ke sneered and said, "Who told you that she committed suicide? She was clearly murdered!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the actors in the Goulan in the courtyard turned pale with fright, and started discussing one after another. Everyone was panicked for a while, Zhu You was upset when he heard it, and he yelled at him, and the scene immediately became quiet again.

"My lord, we didn't kill her!"

"That's right, that's right. We've been singing and acting since this afternoon, but we didn't come to the backyard. We're all in the locker room."

"Noisy, if there is any suspicion, you don't care what you say, come here, and take statements one by one!"

With Zhu You's order, all the people were taken to each room by the yamen to record their statements. The class leader Xie Guang rubbed his hands and stepped forward carefully, "My lord, I have a merciless request."

"Since it's an unfeeling request, don't say it."

The head of the class was choked by Zhu You's words and was at a loss, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord, can this case be handled in a low-key manner, this is a small business, and it was originally for everyone's fun. If people know what happened here Murder case, who will dare to come to the theater in the future, how can this business continue."

When Zhu You heard this, he immediately became angry, and his voice was slightly cold, "Your actor died unexpectedly, now you don't consider providing effective intelligence to the criminal investigation department as soon as possible to help solve the case, and to give Xiangyun justice, but you are worried about your business Want to get along with each other, and, do you know what you are talking about? It seems that you want to taste the power of my torture stick."

"Adults and villains don't mean that."

"No more nonsense, I will punish you for obstructing official duties and bribing court officials!"

Xie Guang was disgraced and taken down by the yamen for questioning. Ye Ke gave Zhu You a thumbs up. Xie Guang obviously meant to send some money to Zhu You, in the name of suicide or other things, hastily Close the case so his business won't be affected.

After Pai Yunmeng sent Xiaomei and Zhu Qiao away, the two returned to the room, and Zhu You looked at the autopsy and asked questions.

"Officer Ye Tui, how did you find out that Xiangyun was murdered?"

Ye Ke sighed and said, "It's very simple. In fact, the murderer's crimes are full of loopholes."

Afterwards, Ye Ke pointed to the stool on the ground and said, "Please look, my lord, here is the first loophole."
