Since being promoted to Class A, Shen Zhuo has been absent from school for a long time, fishing for three days and drying nets for two days. She was so angry that Chief Zheng gave the Shen family an ultimatum, warning her that if she continued to behave like this, she would no longer have to go to the academy to attend classes, and the academy would directly expel her from the academy and cancel her qualifications to attend the academy.
Therefore, Shen Zhuo had no choice but to pack his book bag and continue to attend classes at Mingshan Academy. As soon as she stepped through the gate of Mingshan Academy, she was caught by Lu Waner.
"Jiaojiao, I heard that your fiancé went to Kyoto?" Lu Waner was as well-informed and gossipy as ever.
"Go, go aside, where did I get my fiancé?" Shen Zhuo glanced at Lu Waner with disgust.
"Well, it's the one you forced me to marry when you were five years old." Xiao Yushu Shiran came over.
"That, that, was all in childhood."
Although the embarrassing things from his childhood were mentioned countless times, Shen Zhuo still felt a little embarrassed.
"Then tell me, is he here?" Lu Waner asked persistently.
"Yes, it's here." Shen Zhuo said breathlessly.
"Then when will you bring it out for us to take a look at, and let us help you with your eyes?" Meng Qinglian raised her phoenix eyes sideways, "Or we can go to your house to take a look."
"Don't be fooling around." Shen Zhuo felt a headache. This was a boss who just watched the excitement and didn't take it too seriously. "He came to Kyoto because he had official business to attend to."
As soon as Shen Zhuo said this, several friends suddenly fell silent. After a long while, Wen Mingyun said quietly: "This is the first time I have seen Jiaojiao protecting a man like this."
"That's right." Xiao Yushu tapped her fingers lightly.
"Jiaojiao, I promise not to scare him." Lu Waner said.
"Probably very good-looking." Meng Qinglian chuckled.
"Jiaojiao, you're blushing." Zhang Jingyi said.
Shen Zhuo pulled his book bag, passed a few people expressionlessly, and left. Leaving a few people with a back figure that refuses to gossip.
"Haha, that's interesting." Xiao Yushu said.
"I heard that Mr. Zhong is the official of the Yanzhou Criminal Division. I'll ask my brother to find out later." Wen Mingyun touched her chin, thoughtfully.
"Jiaojiao said that he came to the capital for official business. Could it be that there is a case to be solved?" Meng Qinglian asked.
Meng Qinglian hit the nail on the head.
This time Zhong Shaoqing went to Beijing for a major case in Yanzhou.
There is a county under Yanzhou's jurisdiction, called Ping'an County. The richest man in Ping'an County is Chen Tieniu. He was originally an ordinary tenant in Chenjia Village. Later, he suddenly made a fortune and went to the city to start a tea business. Chen Tieniu had two sons. The eldest son, Chen Peng, died in an accident before he made his fortune. Only the second son, Chen Hu, was left in the family. Chen Hu studied for a few days and later helped Chen Tieniu run his business.
I don’t know which great god Chen Tieniu worshiped or which incense stick he burned. He was originally an illiterate peasant, but when he started doing business, his business became smoother and bigger. However, in just ten years, he became the richest man in Ping'an County from a small street vendor, and his business scope expanded from tea to restaurants, cloth shops and rice shops.
After Chen Tieniu's business grew, he hired many shopkeepers and waiters to help take care of the business, and he lived the life of a rich man. He bought a large house with three entrances and three exits in the county town, and married a three-bedroom concubine to give himself Two sons and three daughters were born.
With a beautiful woman in his arms and making money every day, Mr. Chen lived a very prosperous life and became the envy of everyone in Ping'an County.
However, the good times did not last long.
Two years ago, the Chen family's convoy of goods was robbed by bandits while passing by Yanling Mountain. The person escorting the goods from the Chen family was also seriously injured. After returning to Ping'an County, the Chen family went to the county government to report the injury. Before the county government could report the matter to the state government, the Chen family was completely destroyed.
Twenty-nine people were all killed overnight, with no one left alive, and all the family's money was looted.
As soon as this case came out, the entire Yanzhou was shocked. Zhizhou Ran Bowen was furious and demanded that the Criminal Division must bring the murderer to justice!
When Zhong Shaoqing arrived with two officials, it was already the third day after the incident. The blood splattered all over the floor of the Chen Mansion had turned brown and black, exuding a pungent and unpleasant stench. Zhong Shaoqing walked along the entire Chen residence five times without missing any place.
After investigating the Chen Mansion, Zhao Wuzuo from Ping'an County took Zhong Shaoqing to Yizhuang, where the twenty-nine bodies of the Chen Mansion were stored.
"Twenty-nine people were all killed with one knife." Zhao Wuzuo lifted up the white cloth covering the corpses, pointed at the edge of the knife and said, "The murderer is not an ordinary gangster, but a martial arts master."
"One man, one knife, a knife to kill. This doesn't look like robbery, but more like silence." Zhong Shaoqing looked around and said.
"We think so too. Mr. Wang has detained all the shopkeepers and waiters of the Chen family and wants to question them one by one." Zhao Wu said, "Master Zhong, are you going to listen?"
"That's not busy." Zhong Shaoqing shook his head.
According to Zhong Shaoqing's judgment, those people didn't know anything, and anyone who had any possibility of knowing the situation should be lying here.
A man who can kill twenty-nine people in one night will not mind killing a few more. Not killing other people means that those people have no value in taking action.
Therefore, clues have to be found from the dead.
