Everyone else's expressions changed after hearing this, but they still looked a little hesitant. They stared at the tan stain on the ground and asked, "Du Tou, is this a blood stain?"
"To be precise, this is the remnant of blood. They had carefully cleaned the entire yard after the murder, so the inside and outside of Guan's house looked extremely clean and tidy." Sun Turan said solemnly. Although he only has a superficial understanding of criminal investigation, and even less knowledge of forensics, he comes from an era with an explosion of knowledge and information, so he naturally knows the original method of using vinegar to make residual blood stains appear: "It's a pity that it has now In late autumn, there are fewer flies, otherwise there would be no need to go to all this trouble.”
All his subordinates were naturally convinced of him, and the traces in front of them could not be faked, which made them more and more uneasy. This was a major murder case, and the responsibilities on their shoulders were even heavier: "Tou, what's going to happen next? What should I do?”
This is what gave Sun Tu a headache. He originally thought that by finding the Guan family, he could get some relevant clues from them, but instead, the case became more serious, and he had to go back to the starting point. . However, he did not intend to give up the clues here just like this, and said to Tang Feng and Gao Shan: "You two stay here for now, walk around this alley more often, and ask the neighbors if they have noticed anything unusual."
The two agreed at first, and then Tang Feng said with some confusion: "Du Tou, it was probably the Mid-Autumn Festival night when the crime occurred. There were not many people left in the alley, how could we find anything?"
"What I asked you to check is not the situation on the Mid-Autumn Festival Night, but earlier, to see if there are any suspicious people around here. Since those thieves handled the matter so well, they must have made sufficient preparations long ago, and it is inevitable to check the spot. ." Sun Tu explained patiently, and then emphasized: "Also, it would be better if you could ask where De Guan Da had been before the accident. I believe he must have found out some inside information before he was exposed. Silence."
The two subordinates quickly clasped their hands and agreed, without further delay, they hurried out to inquire about the news. Sun Tu and the others no longer stayed here and got on their horses one after another. Only then did Ma Huaibang say with some worry: "Guan Sun, where else can we go to investigate the case next?"
"As I ordered before, you each go to the homes of some victims to inquire." Sun Tu turned around and ordered his men: "As for me, of course I will go to visit Mr. Yu's house." After that, he picked up the reins and quickly Go forward.
The Yu Mansion's attitude towards Sun Tu was quite good. Not only did he let him into a side hall and serve tea and snacks, but Yu Shen's second son Yu Hang also came to accompany him, which was enough to give him the face of a ninth-grade official.
Sun Tu didn't beat around the bush too much and got straight to the point: "The official is here to collect relevant clues about Miss Yu's kidnapping case. For example, before and after the incident, what strange things were discovered by the accompanying maids and servants? Or find out that some suspicious person has harassed Miss Yu."
Yu Hang recalled for a while and then said: "According to the servants who accompanied Butterfly Mother that day, nothing weird happened that day, and she was always surrounded by servants at home, and ordinary disciples do not They dared to come forward and cause nuisance... The only thing that was weird was that they mentioned that there were several black carriages passing by. There were so many people that night, and the carriages were really an eyesore."
"Then how could she be kidnapped in public?" Sun Tu frowned and said, "Unless she left voluntarily..."
"Sun Dutou, what do you mean by this?" Yu Hang's face immediately darkened: "Are you trying to say that Butterfly Lady doesn't follow the rules of a woman?"
"No, I don't mean this at all. I just feel that this matter is a bit strange. As I said just now, except for Miss Yu,
There is still a servant to protect the maid, so how can an idle person get close to her? Even if there are too many people on Mid-Autumn Festival night, they can always take care of this. "Having said this, Sun Tu's heart moved, and he realized that this case was indeed very different from other human abduction cases.
The other girls who were abducted were ordinary people, so it was convenient for them to be kidnapped and there wouldn't be much trouble. But the granddaughter of Yu Shen's family must be superior to others no matter how she is dressed or surrounded by maids and servants. No matter how outstanding her appearance is, those bad guys would not dare to attack her.
Yu Hang was already a little annoyed at this time: "This is a matter for your Kaifeng Mansion to investigate, why are you asking me about it? Sun Dutou, if there is really something wrong with Butterfly Lady, you are the only one in my Yu family who is asking!" "
Sun Tu smiled bitterly and could only promise again and again that he would do his best to find the thief, and then asked: "I wonder where the maid and slave who accompanied Miss Yu went out that day. Can I ask a few questions?"
Yu Hang's face was a little strange, but he just hummed: "These people are not good at doing things. They have been punished and kicked out of the house a long time ago. Now they can no longer be seen."
Sun Tu's expression also changed slightly when he heard this. Although the other party spoke in a cryptic manner, he still understood the meaning behind his words. This meant beating all the maids and slaves to death. In fact, this is very common nowadays. Generally, slaves who sell themselves as slaves to rich and powerful families will be severely punished if they do something wrong. Many of them even lose their lives, and the government will not pursue them. But even though he knew that this was the rule in the world today, Sun Tu still felt uncomfortable.
"Do you have anything else to ask Sun Dutou? If not, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you for a long time." Seeing Sun Tu's silence, Yu Hang said impatiently.
Only then did Sun Tu come back to his senses: "One last question, does Miss Yu have any close friends in her daily life?"
"No, Butterfly Lady is still in the boudoir. How can she meet a man from outside for no reason?"
Sun Tu smiled in his heart, isn't there no silver here? I was asking a friend, but the other person directly mentioned a man. I'm afraid there's something fishy here. However, Yu Hang would definitely not be able to get the answer here, so he had to stand up and leave. The latter seemed a little dissatisfied at this time and did not send him out. He only asked a servant to accompany Sun Tu out.
Sun Tu didn't take this to heart, and even deliberately started a conversation with the other party. Since the age difference between the two was not big, they became close within a few words, so he took the opportunity to ask: "My little brother has been here for a few years, right? Are you still familiar with Miss Yu?"
"The younger one is just working in the foreign government. I rarely see my young lady on weekdays." This person didn't have any scheming and answered casually.
But Sun Tu was not discouraged and continued to ask: "Then you always know what Miss Yu likes, right?"
"Well... Miss, she likes poetry. She seems to like reading story books. Sister Qiuping asked me to buy story books several times before."
"Oh? I didn't expect that Miss Yu is actually a talented woman, but I don't know who taught her to read and write poetry?"
"It's Jin Yi, but he stopped visiting half a year ago." This outspoken man answered casually. It wasn't until he said this that he realized that he was talking too much, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes. If the master of the family knew that he had revealed the young lady's affairs, he would probably be severely punished.
Sun Tu looked at the other party with a half-smile but not a smile: "Then please tell me Jin Yi's residence. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret for you." There was obviously a hint of threat in these words.
The boy was confused for a while, but finally couldn't stand Sun Tu's eyes and whispered an address. Only then did Sun Tu pat him with satisfaction.
shoulders and walked away.
Jin Yi's residence was not far from Yu Mansion, only two or three streets away. Sun Tu immediately went over to take a look, only to find that the place was already empty, and the iron locks outside the door were all covered. It was covered with a thick layer of dust and was stained with rust.
Sun Tu then asked his neighbors about Jin Yi, and found out that he was a scholar whose family was in decline. However, he had bad luck and failed to pass the Jinshi exam after several imperial examinations. In the end, most of his family's land and house were sold. I can only become a teacher and teach people how to read and write.
"Then why did he leave half a year ago?" Sun Tu asked the key point.
"It's not because he offended a certain high-ranking official. He was driven back at noon that day, and in the afternoon, many evil slaves came to the door, broke his entire hand, and then forced him to leave Tokyo immediately. , otherwise I will beat him to death. Oh, what a crime..." An old man who had witnessed that scene kept sighing.
"Does the old man know which official's family that evil slave belongs to?"
"You don't know what this little old man is. Such things are beyond the control of ordinary people like us."
Sun Tu thanked the other party and then returned to the door of Jin Yi's house. He jumped into the yard easily. The Jin family's yard is actually not small. If it were sold as a whole, it would still fetch a good price. However, most of the houses here are dilapidated, and after opening the door and entering, it was found that most of the houses had been moved. It was empty. Only a few pieces of rough wooden furniture were left in the east wing, and half an inkstone of long-dried ink lay on a desk.
Sun Tu ignored the dusty cobwebs on the desk and started rummaging around. In a short time, he found several pieces of inscribed letter paper from a book in the desk drawer.
After carefully reading the content above, Sun Tu curled up his lips and said, "It's exactly what I thought."
The paper contains several love poems that are sung in harmony with each other, and it seems that the handwriting comes from two different people. One has a strong handwriting, and the other is more graceful. It is obviously a man and a woman. Although the quality of these poems is not very high and may seem a little cheesy, the feelings in them are sincere. Moreover, several of the poems written by the man contain the word "butterfly" many times, so it is obvious who the poem is for.
"It's really an unexpected gain." Sun Tu held a few pieces of letterhead and had already figured out the whole story in his mind.
The young lady of the Yu family was at the age of Huaichun. Because she read too many stories about love between men and women, she developed feelings for the gentleman who taught her how to read, Jin Yi. It's just that there was a big difference in status between the two of them. After being discovered by the Yu family, they came to beat the mandarin ducks and drove Jin Yi out of Tokyo, thus completely cutting off Miss Yu's thoughts.
But no one expected that Jin Yi would actually come back half a year later, and this time he would be bolder and smarter. He actually took the opportunity to abduct Miss Yu from the people around her on the Mid-Autumn Festival night.
Although there is no empirical evidence for the latter point, it is the most reasonable explanation based on the current situation. After all, only those who trusted Miss Yu would make her leave the protection of her family. As a newlywed girl, she had almost no contact with outsiders. The only person she had a relationship with was Jin Yiyou. Such a skill.
"Do the scholar and the lady fall in love and then have a private life?" Sun Tu put the love poems in his sleeves, looked around again and made sure he found nothing more before going out and leaving: "It's a pity that the development of this story has nothing to do with the story. The stories of talented men and beautiful women in this novel are very different!”
