The king's envoy gave these orders to the officers.
Seeing that the guards were about to remove Professor Zheng's body, Liao Haohai raised his eyebrows: "Are you so careless in investigating the case? You didn't investigate the surrounding environment, and you didn't interrogate the suspicious people, so you just wanted to clean up the scene?"
As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something: "Did an official die in Cangzhou last year? The file was reported to Dali Temple. I remember that there were many doubts in the file at that time."
Dali Temple is also responsible for the abnormal deaths of officials in Dasheng.
But it was a pity that Liao Haohai just glanced at the dossier at that time. After all, he is only a judge of Dali Temple, and the files of other cities and towns are managed by officials above the Shaoqing level of Dali Temple.
Wang Junshi smiled and said: "Liao Langjun must have remembered it wrong. There is no doubt in the file. If there is any doubt, Dali Temple will send people to investigate, right?"
"Then let's talk about this case." Liao Haohai said, "The deceased was stabbed with such a knife, and the incision was very deep. Even if the deceased was drunk, he would still resist. But you see, the deceased's hand is still on the wine cup, as if he He was already dead before he was stabbed like this. This stabbing was just an afterthought, trying to blame Commander Lu."
Lu Shaoting raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
However, Yao Tuiguan sneered: "If the deceased had been stabbed to death, he would not have shed so much blood. Did Liao Langjun really serve as a judge in Dali Temple before?"
Liao Haohai was not annoyed: "Yao Tuiguan is just laughing. This is just a question I have."
"Liao Langjun is right, you are indeed sloppy in investigating the case." Lu Shaoting said calmly, glancing at Mu Xiu, "The Mu Dong family can tell me, what is Professor Zheng's situation like? He was eating wine. Alone? Who do you usually drink with? "
Mu Xiudao: "Professor Zheng always likes to be alone. Every time he comes, it is when Wazi has just performed a song and dance. Professor Zheng always watches the song and dance in Wazi for a while first, and then he has to perform a song and dance. I will have a private room, and then the tea and wine doctor will give me a pound of Cangzhou drunkenness, and some dishes to go with the wine, and I will slowly drink it alone, and then sleep in the private room..."
"Since he was alone, who just found him dead?" A young lady asked sharply.
Mu Xiu was stunned for a moment, then realized that it was Mrs. Qin who was speaking.
Yes, since he was alone, who discovered that Professor Zheng was dead?
Mu Xiu suddenly said: "Yes, who called it? Logically speaking, Professor Zheng will never call Dr. Chajiu again."
"When did Commander Lu's sword disappear?" Mu Ting suddenly asked.
Yang Kai looked a little embarrassed: "I just wanted to wipe the blade of the knife for Commander Lu. I just put the knife down and looked for a clean cloth. When I turned around, the knife disappeared. I searched for a while, but I heard Someone has to call someone dead.”
Who would have thought that in just a moment, Commander Lu's knife would be placed next to the deceased?
"We live upstairs, Professor Zheng is in the private room downstairs. The murderer took Commander Lu's knife, but in an instant he came to Professor Zheng and stabbed Professor Zheng. The murderer is good at martial arts." Mu Ting analyzed, looking at him. Passing through the people present.
Official Yao's expression was very cold, while Wang Junzhi still had a smile on his lips.
"Who applied for the official position?" Lu Shaoting asked coldly, "Yao recommended the official position very quickly." He was quite vindictive.
"The Eighth Lane where Jinman Tower is located is the busiest place in the entire Cangzhou City and the place where things are most likely to happen. Every night, the state government sends officers to patrol the area. It just so happens that tonight it is the official's turn to be on duty. When the accident happened just now, Xiaguan happened to pass by the gate of Jinmanlou, so he naturally rushed over as soon as possible." Yao Tuiguan answered accurately.
"This is indeed the case." Mu Xiu confirmed immediately.
"That means that everyone in Jinmanlou is under suspicion." Wang Jun said with a smile, "Especially those who are very familiar with Jinmanlou and know Professor Zheng's habits."
Official Yao suddenly looked at Mu Xiu: "Then it can only be the Mu Dong family! Speaking of the grievances between Professor Zheng and the Mu Dong family, I remember that Professor Zheng once owed Jin Manlou a lot of money for food and drinks. The Mu Dong family I once asked Professor Zheng for help, and the two of them had a disagreement..."
Mu Xiu was very angry and interrupted him: "In the whole Cangzhou city, there are many people who owe Jin Manlou for the food and drinks! If you say that, don't I want to kill all those people? How can I have this? You are so stupid that you let Professor Zheng die in my Jin Man Building."
"Perhaps you thought others would think this way, so you had the audacity to kill Professor Zheng in your own store." Yao Tuiguan said.
Mu Xiu was almost angry to death. Mrs. Qin, who was standing next to her, turned her head and asked him: "Where was Mu Dong's family when the crime occurred?"
"It's in the tile!" Mu Xiu blurted out, "Lady Hui recently said that she has rehearsed a new dance and it will be performed tonight, so I'm watching it in the tile."
"Have you ever left midway?"
Mu Xiu shook his head: "No."
"Who can testify?"
"Many guests can testify." Mu Xiu said.
Sure enough, the guests who were watching said one after another: "Mudong's family is indeed in the tiles, never leaving."
Qin Xiangxiang smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Yao Tuiguan's reasoning is indeed untenable."
Yao Tuiguan squinted at Qin Xiangxiang: "Who are you?"
Mu Ting strode over and protected Qin Xiangxiang behind him: "She is my son's fiancée, and the Holy Father personally granted him the marriage."
They agreed not to announce their relationship in front of others. But now... that's all, she already likes him anyway.
Wang Jun's envoy came to smooth things over again: "It turns out that there are so many noble people from the capital. It's disrespectful and disrespectful." The two of them are not fuel-efficient lamps.
Official Yao was a little impatient: "Since no one is suspected, let's start with everyone. Prince Mu, Commander Lu, and Mr. Liao, do you have any opinions?"
Qin Xiangxiang walked out from behind Mu Ting: "There is no need to investigate, the murderer has left."
Yao Tuiguan sneered: "What do you think, little lady?"
Qin Xiangxiang looked at him quietly: "If I smell it right, a special incense is lit in this elegant room. This incense can make people drowsy and fall into a dream. When we came in , the fragrance has dissipated, leaving only a little aftertaste. But by chance, I smelled it."
Mu Xiu looked at Qin Xiangxiang with some trepidation.
There are incense everywhere in Jinmanlou. Madam Qin, please don't drag Jinmanlou into trouble.
"If my guess is correct, this special incense should have been brought here by Professor Zheng, or perhaps Jin Manlou smoked it for him separately. Is this the case with Mr. Mu's family?"
"No!" Mu Xiu said, "Jin Manlou is scented with the same kind of fragrance. I swear, in addition to making guests feel relaxed and happy, this fragrance will never make people drowsy or fall into dreams. This fragrance must be Zheng Zheng's fragrance. The professor brought it here himself.”
"Last spring, Professor Zheng had a competition with others in the state school. If I remember correctly, Professor Zheng lost at that time." Someone among the guests said.
But he is a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing.
"It turns out to be Professor Tan." Mu Xiu bowed his hand towards Professor Tan.
Professor Tan came closer and couldn't bear to look at Professor Zheng's body.
"Professor Zheng once made some incense and gave it to me. Can you scrape some ashes from the incense burner and let me smell it?"
"I'll do it." Liao Haohai said. He personally opened the lid of the incense burner, scraped some fine incense ash from inside, and sent it to Professor Tan.
"A few years ago, Professor Zheng lost his parents, wife and children in Gaotang. He often couldn't sleep at night, and felt that his family was not sleeping, so he developed a fragrance that made him sleepy and fall into dreamy dreams. He Tell me that after using this incense, he can see his family more often."
Professor Tan sighed.
There is such an inside story.
Professor Tan sniffed the incense ashes: "It is indeed Qimengxiang."
But Professor Zheng, who values love and justice so much, why did the murderer put him to death?
