The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

The winding dirt road, the gates are uneven.

Although the structure is not the same, it is all mottled and lonely.

This slum near Xibianmen, Sun Shaozong hasn't been here for two full years, and now he has revisited the old place, but he really didn't see any changes.

It seems that Jia Yucun’s commendable political achievements have not benefited here.

This is also understandable. Jia Yucun’s focus is mainly on the middle and upper classes in the city; the second focus is on the extremely poor and refugees who have nowhere to stand.

Relatively speaking, the slums, which are close to the strata but barely able to support their families, have become neglected groups.

"grown ups!"

Just evaluating Jia Yucun’s political achievements, the Dragon Guards who led the way in front of him looked around for a long time, and finally pointed to one of the alleys and shouted: "This is it!"

When Sun Shaozong went out from the car window, he saw a small stone monument about an inch tall at the entrance of an alley that was less than Zhang Xu's wide.

Gee~

It is actually the former residence of Juren.

This is a popular custom in Beijing. If the poor family leaves a noble child, an inscription will be placed in front of the door while the family is relocating.

This is not deliberately showing off, but to nail one's own culture so that no one will rush to other homes under the ‘guardian’.

Ordinarily, such ‘former residences of the nobles’ are generally not rented out or sold to others, and the murderer is unlikely to choose to commit crimes in his own ancestral home.

But when he got closer, Sun Shaozong was relieved again, because looking at the broken look of the stone stele, I am afraid that it may not be the rich man of the dynasty. If the ancestral house is left in the hands of outsiders, it would be normal.

Talk less gossip.

Before the carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley, Zhao Wuwei had already greeted him with a few guards from the inside, shouting the master and the adults.

Sun Shaozong got out of the carriage and saw that those who were lucky enough to be with Zhao Wuwei were familiar faces, so he called out the names one by one. Then, surrounded by everyone, he entered the alley.

"How is the site investigation?"

"Return to your lord."

Zhao Wuwei leaned his shoulders, and said respectfully: "After checking inside and out several times, the back door is locked. It seems that no one has entered or exited from there for at least a few months, and there are only traces of us on the wall ."

"It can basically be concluded that the murderer was not at the scene when Wei Shougen was killed..."

Others are fine, but Liu Xianglian couldn't help but questioned: "How can you kill Wei Shougen if the murderer is not on the scene? Do you want to say that he is short-sighted?"

As soon as Zhao Wuwei was about to explain, Wang Zhen rushed to the side and said, "It is about that a trap was set up in advance."

"Yes."

Zhao Wuwei continued: "Wei Shougen was surrounded by a few pieces of clothes and an open rattan box. According to Wu Zuo Lao Xu's investigation, he should have been killed by some kind of poisonous insect hidden in the box."

"Wu Zuo Lao Xu?"

Sun Shaozong paused and said in surprise: "Isn't he unaccustomed to appearing?"

Zhao Wuwei smiled and said, "I have been coerced and lured a few times by an adult, and I have become used to it."

Sun Shaozong can still trust this as Old Xu's autopsy skills, so it will save him a lot of trouble.

A group of people rushed into the courtyard, and saw that it was empty and there were no furnishings.

Sun Shaozong asked, "Who is the owner, have you checked it out?"

"The investigation is clear, but the landlord moved to Jinmen Mansion with his family a few months earlier, only knowing that he rented the old house to someone else before he left, but no one knows who rented it. ."

Rented out a few months ago?

At that time, Zhang Biao was fine, and there was no sign that things were going to be exposed. It seems that this courtyard should have been used for other purposes.

Thinking like this, he has already entered the hall.

But seeing that the room is also unobstructed, Wu Zuo Lao Xu is expressionless, wiping equipment in front of a twisted corpse.

Seeing Sun Shaozong coming in from outside, he squeezed out a smile and bowed to salute.

Sun Shaozong waved his hand: "Stop talking nonsense, let's talk about the results of the autopsy first."

This straight-forward, most appetite for Old Xu, he immediately reduced his smile, pointed to the body on the ground and said: "Look at the corpse, the right hand of the body is obviously swollen, and there is a papule-like erythema on the back of the hand, which is close to the middle finger. In places where there is a part of the skin that looks like an unhealed burn, but there is no obvious wound."

"Based on subordinates, the deceased should have been pierced into the root of the **** by a small needle-like object, injected with venom, and then contracted due to the convulsions of the skin, completely covering the wound. The suffocation caused by the venom should be the main cause of his death. the reason."

"Because there are no traces of snakes around, so I inferred that the hidden in the box may be some kind of poisonous insect."

Wei Shougen's corpse was squatted into an S shape, lying on the ground sideways, with his left hand squeezing the forearm of his right hand, trying to prevent the poison from spreading, but it was in vain in the end.

While listening to Old Xu's explanation, Sun Shaozong leaned down to look at the erythema and dead skin on the back of Wei Shougen's hand. He inadvertently met Wei Shougen's face and couldn't help but subconsciously screamed.

Of course he has not forgotten the ‘Dreamish Ghost’ that he ran into in Daxing County that day...

wrong!

Now that I think about it, it is not difficult to infer that Wei Shougen made a deliberate assumption; and Wang Qian's overly arrogant response, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from this guy.

What is his purpose?

Could it be that Zhang Biao's death was related to their private activities, so I was afraid of meddling in?

"In addition, there are some fresher burns on the back of the deceased."

Old Xu was still explaining, but he handed Sun Shaozong two silver chopsticks.

Sun Shaozong didn't ask him how to use it, so he swiped the chopsticks on the back of the deceased a few times, then lifted the four layers of clothes inside and out, revealing the flesh of his back.

But it turned out that the center of the deceased's back was cut by a gap long ago.

"These burns..."

Sun Shaozong looked at Wei Shougen's back, and the spots of plum blossoms were also scalded, and he muttered: "It seems to be a trace of some kind of ceremony."

"Yes, the villain thinks so too."

Old Xu nodded, but Liu Xianglian, Wang Zhen and others next to him were a bit inexplicable. Plum-shaped iron objects are not uncommon nowadays. How can one conclude that they are performing rituals?

It’s not easy for others to interrupt, but Liu Xianglian doesn't have much taboo: "Second brother, how can you be sure that this is a ritual?"

"It's very simple."

Sun Shaozong pointed to the traces of plum blossoms ~www.readwn.com~ and said: "Look carefully, these traces are actually not deep, but they look very uniform. If it is involuntary, it will not be the case."

"Why is this again?"

Liu Xianglian is still unclear, so she is even more confused.

Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly, and asked Huo Zhezi to Zhao Wuwei who was on the side, blowing slowly onto Liu Xianglian's face.

Liu Xianglian hurried away, shouting: "Second brother, what are you doing?!"

"You know dodge, doesn't he know?"

Sun Shaozong stretched out his hand and pointed at Wei Shougen: "It's fine if you brand it hard. Such a shallow layer will be blurred if you struggle a little. Now it is so clear that it must be voluntarily accepted."

"And if it's just to make a mark, you don't have to burn it all at once, so I infer that this must be a trace of a certain ritual performed by Wei Shougen voluntarily."
