When the group arrived at the back house, the servant who led the way pointed to the door in front and said, "Masters, this is the lady's residence."
Zhang Ren walked straight to the door, took a deep breath, and his face became particularly serious. After all, it was a murder case. He thought in his heart: Madam Pingliang Hou, don't worry, I will bring the murderer to justice.
Zhang Ren slowly opened the door, and everything in the house appeared before his eyes.
Although he was fully prepared in his heart, the brutality of the scene still exceeded Zhang Ren's expectations. A large amount of blood was gradually seen on the wall in the house, and the body of Mrs. Pingliang Hou was also in the bedroom at this moment. She died in an extremely miserable state, her eyes seemed to have been gouged out, there were wounds all over her cheeks, and the corners of her mouth were torn apart. The blood-stained teeth were clearly visible in the mouth. The neck was injured by unknown means, and it was a mess of blood and flesh. The same was true for the chest and abdominal cavity. A lot of internal organs came out, the heart was thrown aside, the intestines were pulled out, and there were countless large and small bruises all over the body. Wound.
Zhang Ren had never seen such a situation before. Whether it was his awe for life or his original curiosity about the case, everything was now forgotten. He only felt a surge in his stomach. He couldn't help but cover his mouth and ran out. He went outside to clear his stomach. Everything in it was vomited out.
When Gao Haiyong saw Zhang Ren like this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. After all, he was still a young man. Gao Haiyong shook his head, ignored Zhang Ren, and entered the house with his accompanying wife.
After Gao Haiyong and his colleagues finished their investigation and exited the room, Jinyiwei Primary School, who had already had the sense, moved a chair behind Gao Haiyong. Gao Haiyong was not polite, sat down directly and said to Zhang Ren: "The reaction is so great, we need to continue to hone it."
Zhang Ren retched twice while holding his cramped stomach, and glanced at Gao Haiyong angrily.
Gao Haiyong pretended not to see it, but ordered to Wu Zuo beside him: "Wu Zuo, come and tell this boy about the inspection of the body."
Wu Zuo took half a step forward and said: "Mrs. Pingliang Hou has a lot of injuries on her body. There are four or five fatal injuries. The wounds are also uneven. The blood all over her body is almost drained. Judging from the wounds alone, she doesn't look like It was injured by an ordinary sharp weapon, but it looked like it was torn out by a wild animal."
After Wu Zuo finished speaking, Zhang Ren asked: "The wound looks like it was bitten by a wild beast? No wonder there are rumors all over the street that it is a ghost seeking life. Are there any wild beasts around Yingtian Mansion?"
Gao Haiyong raised his eyes and replied: "No, there are two shops selling wild animals in the market. However, if the wild beasts really escaped, they would definitely not be able to escape the sight of our Jinyiwei. Moreover, Pingliang Hou Mansion is a large family with extremely high walls. Not to mention, there are experts guarding the courtyard outside and hounds inside to keep watch, so wild beasts can't get in."
"Hounds? Are there hounds in the Pingliang Marquis Mansion?" Zhang Ren asked aloud.
Gao Haiyong nodded.
In this case, it is very possible that the hounds in the mansion committed the crime, and the servant responsible for feeding the hounds has serious suspicions. No, this case is definitely not that simple, otherwise it is impossible that the Criminal Department, Yingtian Mansion and Jinyiwei all failed to solve the case... …
Looking at Zhang Ren who was thoughtful, Gao Haiyong nodded, "It seems that you have also thought about it. There are still many mysteries in this murder case."
"When was the body discovered? Who discovered it?" Zhang Ren frowned and continued to ask.
Gao Haiyong raised his eyes and looked at the principal next to him. The principal understood and replied: "The body was discovered this morning. The maids next to Madam Pingliang Hou planned to help her get up, and then they discovered the body."
Zhang Ren was puzzled, "Did the maids discover it this morning? The scene was so tragic. Didn't Pingliang Hou, the person next to him, notice it? None of the servants who served last night heard any unusual noises? No one heard Mrs. Pingliang Hou's voice. A cry for help?”
The colonel continued to answer: "Recently, the natives of Yunnan are ready to take action. Your Majesty ordered the Marquis of Pingliang to lead troops to attack Yunnan. The army will be dispatched in three days. According to the Marquis of Pingliang, he was in his study last night studying the matter of sending troops. And even on weekdays, Pingliang Hou also stayed at his concubine's place. Mrs. Hou of Pingliang used to come from a small family, and she liked peace and quiet. She didn't like to have servants waiting on her from outside when she slept. All the servants in the mansion had been interrogated, and no one heard any unusual noises. Madam Ping Lianghou’s cry for help.”
His wife died when the troops were dispatched? Is everything really such a coincidence? Staying at my concubine's place? As soon as the drama about the concubine in the concubine came out, Zhang Ren immediately figured it out. The concubine used various means to harm his first wife, and then succeeded in becoming the leader. This was how it was played out in later TV series.
"How is the relationship between Pingliang Hou and his wife? How is the relationship with the concubine?" Zhang Ren asked following his thoughts.
Xiao Xiao was well prepared. He took out a file from his arms, checked it for a moment and replied: "The Marquis of Pingliang and his wife had a bad relationship. They had a son named 'Fei Chao'. He was missing from the battle during the expedition against Fang Guozhen. None of the corpses were left intact. It was also because of this that Mrs. Pinglianghou often blamed Pinglianghou for not protecting her son. Mrs. Pinglianghou was already old at that time, so Pinglianghou took in a concubine. Pinglianghou originally had a concubine. I don’t care much about my concubine, but she got pregnant three years ago and gave birth to a son for Marquis Pingliang, named Fei Xuan. Since then, Marquis Pingliang has treated me a lot better."
After listening to the primary school's answer, Pingliang Hou himself and his concubine have been listed as key suspects by Zhang Ren. After all, the death of Pingliang Hou's wife did not make any noise, and the entire Pingliang Hou Mansion can make people die silently. many.
"How are you going to investigate now? Do you have any clues?" Gao Haiyong interrupted Zhang Ren's thoughts and asked.
Zhang Ren shook his head, "I have some clues, but I still have to think about many things."
Gao Haiyong nodded and said: "You think about it first, I will take people to check around first."
Although Zhang Ren has no experience in investigating crimes, he does not intend to get involved in the Jinyiwei team. If there are too many people, there will inevitably be constraints. Only by acting alone can you have enough room for thinking.
Now the death of Mrs. Pingliang Hou has become the biggest mystery in this case. It is because the death is so miserable that it is suspicious.
Judging from the current situation, there are many suspects. The Marquis of Pingliang, his concubines, and the servants who raise and train hounds in the Marquis' mansion are all key suspects.
There are many ways to make a person die. In this era, poisoning is a very good method. It can kill people silently, or directly strangle them, and then create a scene of hanging themselves. , so that the murderer can avoid risks to the greatest extent.
But Mrs. Pingliang Hou died in a miserable manner, which clearly told others that this was a murder case!
The murderer took the risk of being discovered and suspected and killed Mrs. Pingliang Hou very cruelly, which is unreasonable in itself. Unless... this is a vendetta? !
Zhang Ren was thinking as he walked, and gradually reached a side courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
…
There is a very special place in the Pingliang Hou Mansion. There is a separate courtyard wall built deep in the back house. The scenery inside the wall is not luxurious, but it is quiet and elegant. It seems to be somewhat incompatible with the entire Hou Mansion.
This is the residence of Pingliang Hou's concubine.
"Congratulations, auntie, congratulations, auntie."
In the concubine's room, a maid said with a smile on her face, trying to please her.
The concubine raised her eyebrows, put down the tea cup in her hand, and asked slowly: "Now that my wife is newly deceased, you come to me to congratulate me? Where does this joy come from?"
