The kick did not move the door, but just shook off a lot of black ash, which seemed particularly strange at this time. Luo Yong's face became even colder, and he kicked harder. However, the door was still shaky and could not be kicked open.
At this time, even Li Rui felt creepy, and the hairs on his body stood up.
He also noticed something was wrong.
This is just the servant's yard. Mrs. Bai did have some status in the mansion in the past, so she was able to get this small yard. But no matter how prestigious she is, she has not worked in the mansion for many years. She is just a servant. Who could she offend? Why would someone spread kerosene all over the outside and want to burn her to death
And I saw that this house was also sealed.
Luo Yong sneered and crossed his arms, saying, "This is really weird. This doesn't look like an accident! Let's report to the police. Shuntian Prefecture is going to have to deal with something."
Li Rui was extremely panicked. He was completely stunned and had no time to react. Luo Yong had already pushed hard again and this time he finally broke the door open.
In front of Li Rui and a dozen soldiers behind him, everyone used the torches to clearly see two people lying in a mess in the room, and another person lying stiffly on the table, probably dead.
Li Rui couldn't help but scream. Although he was the chief steward, he had never experienced such a thing. Seeing the people inside with burnt faces, he didn't dare to step forward.
Were all these people burned to death
That shouldn't be the case. He looked around - the fire hadn't spread to here yet, only the doors and windows were sealed...
As he was thinking randomly, he saw Luo Yong quickly stepped forward and turned over a crawling person.
"Dead." Luo Yong had no expression on his face and said in a heavy tone, "He was not burned to death. There are knife wounds here."
Knife wound!
Li Rui was about to faint.
My God, what on earth happened in this yard? Why did a murder happen out of nowhere? It seems that the fire was not intended to kill anyone, but to cover up the evidence... ...
His legs went weak. Seeing that Luo Yong was already urging the next group of people to go to Shuntian Prefecture to find someone, he swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with us..."
As he was speaking, someone outside suddenly exclaimed, and then someone said, "Isn't that Bai Ning?!"
Bai Ning
Li Rui's frozen mind turned around, and he looked back. Seeing that the person who spoke was Yu Dong, he held back his scolding and asked, "Bai Ning? Isn't he in Zhangzhou with the Second Master?"
Yes! Didn’t the Second Master disappear in Zhangzhou? Recently, the government has been extremely nervous about this matter and has been looking for the Second Master everywhere.
Bai Ning is here...
Li Rui rolled his eyes, swallowed hard, and suddenly opened his eyes wide. He pointed at the person who had slid off the table and shouted in horror, "Second Master! Second Master!"
There was a commotion outside.
Luo Yong's expression became even more solemn. As the deputy commander, he had of course heard about Su Mingqing's disappearance. Checkpoints had been set up everywhere in the city recently. There were rumors that Su Mingqing had sneaked back to the capital.
But he never expected that someone would die here.
He stood up and started to drive people out: "Everyone, get out! Don't stand here! This is a murder case, a serious murder case! The authorities will come later, and outsiders are not allowed to stay here!"
It was raining so heavily, but the onlookers immediately retreated like the tide. Luo Yong walked out and was stimulated by the fresh air outside, which made his mind feel much more relaxed.
How could the Second Master Su die in the servants' yard of the Su family
As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a flash of lightning in the distance, followed by a huge rumbling thunder. Even a person like him couldn't help but avoid it.
Such a big storm...
He withdrew his gaze and saw Li Rui's panicked face amid the lightning and thunder. Just as he was about to say something, Wang Tuiguan from Shuntian Prefecture had already arrived with his men.
Wang Tuiguan was holding an oil-paper umbrella and wearing a straw raincoat, but he was still soaked. As soon as he entered the corridor, he took off his bamboo hat, looked at Luo Yong and asked, "What's going on?"
Luo Yong succinctly told the story, and then lowered his voice and said, "The deceased is Master Su Er."
Master Su Er... ..
Tuiguan Wang looked at him in surprise, said nothing more, and called the coroner to go in.
Then the Su family finally arrived.
Master Su San came over in a hurry, greeted Luo Yong first, and then asked anxiously: "What's going on? They said there was a fire in the servants' room, how come there's news that my second brother is here? Where is my second brother?!"
His anxiety was beyond words, and he rushed into the room without even finishing his words, but was stopped by Luo Yong. Luo Yong looked at him calmly, coughed a few times, and then said, "Third Master, please accept my condolences. Second Master..."
Master Su San trembled a few times, his face turned pale like a ghost under the lightning and thunder, and he took a step back in a daze.
Fortunately, Li Rui supported him and he did not fall.
Soon after, the soldiers who were ordered to search other rooms came out, and someone shouted, "Sir! We have found something else here. There is also a dead body in the east room!"
Master Su San was so anxious that he couldn't even speak.
At this moment, a soldier came in from behind in the rain and said in a serious tone: "Sir, three more bodies were found in the cellar, an old woman, a half-grown child, and a child... ... It looks like they have been dead for at least a few days."
Luo Yong's face turned pale.
Master Su San screamed, "What's going on?! What's going on?! Who wants to kill my second brother?!"
Lightning lit up half the sky. Li Rui went to take a look and came back to report to Master Su San with an unpleasant look on his face: "It's Aunt Bai and her two granddaughters..."
Master Su San gritted his teeth, and his teeth chattered.
Even Luo Yong couldn't help but change color.
So that means, including the three people in this room and the one in the east room, a total of seven people died in this yard? !
Seven people!
This is a big case.
He immediately said to Master Su San without hesitation: "Master Su, Shuntian Prefecture will naturally investigate this matter. You should calm down first..."
Master Su San's forehead was covered in sweat. He seemed not to be listening to Luo Yong at all. He insisted on going in to see Master Su Er first.
While they were arguing, Magistrate Wang came out and took the coroner to the east room again: "There is another one here..."
Master Su San chased after him and wanted to ask Wang Tuiguan what was going on inside. Wang Tuiguan had to stop and say to him: "At present, it seems that the fatal wound was the knife wound, not the smoke or the fire..."
Li Rui suddenly yelled, pointed at the room with trembling voice, and shouted: "Third Young Master, Third Young Master!!!"
