Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 3 Preliminary Investigation

Plum Blossom Hall.

Three of Wei Zhengwu's followers filed into the room.

Thinking of Vice General Wei's sudden death last night, but they were having fun, the three of them lowered their heads.

Su Jizhi and the others have all heard that because he angered the emperor, he was demoted from Dali Temple Minister to Tongshan Governor.

I thought that he would be obedient if he was demoted a few levels.

But I don't want this man to be reduced from a second-rank official to a fourth-rank official, and his aura is still there.

Just now the tall follower wanted to play tricks, his eyes met Su Jizhi's, and he was defeated.

Su Jizhi pointed at the tall attendant, "Tell me first, why did Vice General Wei come to Tongshan Mansion?"

"My lord, Vice General Wei leads the Weiyuan Army's daily drills, and now the Weiyuan Army is scattered everywhere, which is considered a regular inspection." The entourage respectfully.

"Oh? How often?"

"It's hard to say, the time is uncertain. This is the third time since the bandits returned to Beijing the year before last."

"Which stop is Tongshan Prefecture on this trip?"

"We set off in mid-May and stayed in Bao'an Mansion for ten days. This is the second stop."

"Is the itinerary planned?"

"No, Vice General Wei said, it's hard to leave the capital, let's go slowly."

"Where do you live in Bao'an Mansion?"

The three turned their heads and looked at each other for a moment, then replied in a low voice: "Vice General Wei likes to drink, and he lived in a winery or something like that when he was out."

The attendant avoided the word Jiaofangsi, Su Jizhi snorted coldly in his heart.

"During this time, everyone played their own games at night?"

The entourage hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's why the younger ones didn't accompany you last night. Besides, Vice General Wei has martial arts skills and also carries a dagger with him. If you were killed, you wouldn't expect the deputy general to be killed."

Su Jizhi raised his eyes and looked at the three people seriously again.

The murderer was capable of stabbing Wei Zhengwu to death with a single blow.

The three people in front of them lingered in the flowers all day long.

Even if they face to face with the murderer, it is not that Su Jizhi looks down on them, and he is probably not the murderer's opponent.

"Have you seen the corpse?"

The three looked at each other and nodded.

"The four of you are walking together this way, did you find anything unusual?"

After asking a few words, the chubby attendant didn't feel that Su Jizhi was scary.

On the contrary, he felt that Dali Siqing, who was demoted by the governor in front of him, had the determination to solve the case, so he rushed to answer.

"Master Su, Vice General Wei's trip this time is a very honorable event. Although the Weiyuan Army has been disbanded, Vice General Wei still has the ability to mobilize troops. All the people in charge were once Vice General Wei's colleagues. In my opinion, , Deputy General Wei is very proud of this journey."

The entourage used the word proud, and Su Jizhi's disdain for the Weiyuan Army increased by another point.

Su Jizhi wanted to drink tea, but the teapot was empty, and the only water in the cup was drunk by the little white rabbit.

As far as he could see, Su Jizhi saw a faint rouge mark left on the rim of the cup.

Thinking of the delicate and handsome appearance of the little white rabbit, Su Jizhi gently turned the teacup and rushed the mark towards him.

"When did you come to the Jiaofang Division last night?"

"At around Xu time, when we set off from Bao'an Mansion, Deputy General Wei had already calculated the time. The plan was to stay in Tongshan Mansion for one night and go to the camp outside the city tomorrow."

"Is there anyone following along the way?"

"Never."

"Does anyone know that you are going to live in Jiaofang Division?"

All three of them shook their heads: "After entering the city, Deputy General Wei said he wanted to drink flower wine. The most famous place in Tongshan Mansion is here. In conclusion, we are staying here temporarily."

Su Jizhi looked out the window, the sun was rising at noon, and the mountains in the distance were shining brightly.

"From Bao'an Mansion, do you ride a horse or a carriage?"

"Vice General Wei will take the carriage, and we will ride on horses."

Su Jizhi lowered his face, very puzzled.

Wei Zhengwu passed by Tongshan Mansion and was killed on the first night.

But judging from Wei Zhengwu's itinerary, it was very accidental that he stayed in the Jiaofang Division, and there was no plan at all for this trip.

Since the murderer had no time to plan, did he kill Wei Zhengwu temporarily?

If the murderer had a premeditated plan, at least in Bao'an Mansion, he would have to find out Wei Zhengwu's itinerary, and then follow him all the way.

But the official road is sparsely populated, if the murderer follows all the way, he will definitely be discovered.

Also, if the murderer was traveling all the way, why didn't he strike in a secluded place on the official road?Wouldn't that be invisible?

According to this analysis, there is only one last possibility. The murderer was from Tongshan Mansion, and the killing of Wei Zhengwu was completely improvised.

If you think about it this way, the appearance of the hairpin of the little white rabbit at the scene of the crime is very meaningful.

But that slender-looking girl can stab a strong and strong man to death with one knife?
"Have you been to Tongshan Mansion before?"

"Never."

The answer was so positive, Su Jizhi looked at the three people again: "At this time, you don't need to lie, Wei Zhengwu is the deputy general of the Weiyuan Army, the emperor must personally intervene in this matter, is there anything else you want to tell me? "

The three of them raised their heads at the same time, pleading: "My lord, the younger ones are the entourage. Vice General Wei has the final say along the way. Now that he has been killed, the younger ones have said everything they need to say."

Su Jizhi pointed to the tall attendant: "When did you know that Wei Zhengwu was killed?"

"This morning, the manager delivered water to Vice General Wei. He opened the door and found that Vice General Wei was killed. He shouted and screamed. The three of us were scared to death, so we ran over to see."

Su Jizhi looked at them coldly, the three of them had dark eyes, and they indulged in excess. Is this the legendary Weiyuan Army who successfully suppressed the bandits?

"Vice General Wei took a lot of Hehuansan before his death, do you know about this?"

The tall man muttered, "A year ago, Deputy General Wei liked to use this kind of thing. As for how much he used this time, I really don't know."

Su Jizhi sneered even more in his heart.

"Where were the whereabouts of the three of you last night?"

As soon as Su Jizhi said this, the three of them understood that Su Jizhi suspected that they would do something to Vice General Wei.

The three pointed to the door at the same time, "The girls can testify."

Su Jizhi also ruled out the possibility of the three committing the crime just from the looks of the three.

If you want to attack Vice General Wei, there are countless better ways to stab Wei along the way than now.

"Deputy General Wei will send the belongings he brought with him to the Tongshan government office as soon as possible during this trip. As for the three of you, go back to Beijing and return to your orders."

Su Jizhi didn't make things difficult for them.

Next, the head of the Jiaofang Division came in and described the process of discovering the death of Vice General Wei.

This morning, the in charge checked the room according to the time, and found that the room in the Peony Hall was unlocked, and Vice General Wei was silent in the room, so the in charge pushed the door open and entered.

To the eyes, it was the same as what Su Jizhi saw.

The window of the room was wide open, Vice General Wei lay face up on the bed, dead for a long time,

"Who has been to the scene after the body was found?"

The manager wiped his sweat: "The little one was the first to find out, he was frightened to death, and ran out to call people. At this time, many people came out to watch the fun, girls, guests, servants, maids, etc. The little one told people to go find the adults, It was only after returning that the onlookers were thrown out of the room."

"Miss Wanyan, has she ever been to the scene?"

The manager quickly nodded: "The girls in the courtyard are all here, and it was Miss Wanyan who accompanied me last night. Seeing her, I was quite frightened."

The manager kept Su Jizhi's expression on his face. Would this statement make adults suspect Miss Wanyan?

It's not good to be in charge.

Su Jizhi was thinking: from the time the steward found the body to when he rushed to the Jiaofang Division, it was only a stick of incense.

One stick of incense time is enough for Wan Yan, who has seen the scene, to take away the hairpin that fell on the bed.

Why didn't she take it?
Or was someone planted?

There was a rippling in Su Jizhi's heart. It seemed that the little white rabbit's life in Jiaofang Division was not easy.
