"master!"

When they left the house, Zhao Wuwei had already approached him like a pug.

Sun Shaozong asked blankly, "What kind of case is it? Why did you come to disturb me at the end of the week?"

Hearing this, there was some displeasure in it, Zhao Wuwei's already hunched spine immediately bent a few more degrees, and he said with caution, "If it were a normal murder case, I wouldn't dare to disturb Master Xiu Mu."

"It's just that the one who died this time was an old man who was scheduled to enter the palace to participate in the birthday banquet. Master Fu Yin was afraid that once the case was delayed, there would be further rumors, so..."

tsk~

Before the birthday banquet, an old man who was scheduled to enter the palace suddenly died. This matter is not big or small, but it may disturb the palace. It is no wonder that Han Anbang is eager to let himself go to investigate.

After all, this sentence is a life of errands.

When he is promoted to Zhizhong in the future, it will be his turn to be bossy and give others a deadline to solve the case!

Thinking like this, Sun Shaozong pointed back and said, "These are my nephews and nephews-in-law, who just came from Jinling to prepare for the exam. I'll lead a few arresting heads to check carefully, what's the matter? Take care."

When Zhao Wuwei heard this, he hurriedly nodded to Yu Qian and the others and said, "Little Zhao Wuwei, I have seen three Juren masters, and if the masters have anything to explain in the future, just call the clerk on the street and instruct them! "

Yu Qian and Sun Chengye responded calmly, but Sun Chengtao showed a little disgust, apparently he didn't think much of such flattering villains.

When they got on their horses, Sun Chengtao saw that Sun Shaozong was carefully questioning the case, he pulled the reins and whispered beside Yu Qian, "Brother-in-law, don't you all say that our thirteenth uncle is the reincarnation of Bao Longtu? How can there be such a villain? Besides, the explanation just now should be regarded as a public tool for private use, right?"

Yu Qian said indifferently: "If you don't like it, you can make a straight statement now."

Sun Chengtao suddenly had a bitter face, and said embarrassingly: "How dare I do this, let's not say that Uncle Thirteen is an elder, those two arms alone are a circle thicker than my waist, if it annoys him, he is not stubborn. "

Yu Qian rolled his eyes at him and said, "Since you know that he is an elder, how dare you talk to me indiscriminately?"

Sun Chengtao had no interest in begging, so he had to dodge to the side.

However, Yu Qian rode his horse a few steps forward and put up his ears to listen to the conversation between Sun Shaozong and Zhao Wuwei.

"Such a big iron sword went straight into his throat! I really don't know what kind of grudge that old man Xu had with someone, so he used such a scary method."

"Did the deceased live alone?"

"I heard that I married a relative when I was young, but when I gave birth to a child, it was difficult to give birth, and the adults and children were not saved, so old man Xu became a widower."

"Who was the first to discover the dead?"

"It was the seller of bean curd brain next door. Because there was a lot left in the morning, I asked my mother-in-law to give a share to the eight neighbors. Who knew that when I entered the door, old man Xu was actually stabbed by the big iron sword in his throat, and he was stabbed alive. died!"

"What about the wealth?"

"The family wealth has not been touched at all, so the villain suspects that it is a vendetta. He has already ordered his brothers to inquire about his enemy's family - but there is no news report yet."

"How does the deceased behave on a daily basis?"

"Well... I heard that I have a weird temper, but I have a good heart. I especially like children. I often buy some candy to distribute to the children nearby."

After listening to the two people's questions and answers, in just a moment, they sorted out the general situation of the deceased.

Sun Shaozong is fine, after all, he is a well-known genius, but the 'flattering villain' can answer fluently, but it makes Yu Qian a little unexpected.

Taking the time to give Sun Chengtao a sidelong glance, he wanted to warn him not to judge people by their appearance in the future.

But I saw this kid monkey writhing around on the horse's back, apparently because the two people in front were walking too slowly, and I couldn't wait to go to the murder scene to see it.

Forget it~

Yu Qian shook his head helplessly, pondering that he should not disappoint him first, and then let his brother-in-law come forward and teach him a lesson.

Speechless all the way.

When they reached the northwest of the outer city, they saw an alley in front of them, surrounded by passers-by on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and everyone knew that they had reached their destination.

Sun Shaozong kicked off the horse, and Yu Qian and others were busy following.

Those onlookers saw a few yamen officers sloping shoulders and flatteringly leading the way, followed by a majestic and tall man, and immediately knew that the judgment was made by God.

Someone with a romantic nature simply pulled the beaded flower on his head and the sachet around his waist, and threw it towards Sun Shaozong.

but…

The aunt with a wrinkled face is nothing, but there is a foolish guy with a beard over there who dares to throw the sachet over—and throws a few eyebrows!

Sun Shaozong only felt a chill all over his body, and he hurriedly quickened his pace.

When he arrived at the yard where Old Man Xu was, he saw that there were four yamen guarding the door, and the inside was empty, with only two or three arresting officers searching for clues.

As soon as Zhao Wuwei entered the yard, he rushed inside and shouted, "Come out, Master will investigate the scene in person!"

Several yamen servants rushed out.

"For a homicide without a clear target like this, protecting the scene is the most important thing."

As Sun Shaozong walked in, he explained to Yu Qian and the three: "So I specifically explained that if there is a case happening indoors, no more than five people can go in to explore at the same time, so as not to accidentally destroy important evidence."

When he reached the door, he stopped, pointed to the corpse lying on his back, and said, "Since it's not far from the door, you can watch it here first, and feel that you can adapt, and then it's not too late to come in."

As he said that, he glanced at Sun Chengtao, who had an anxious look on his face, and added indifferently: "If any of them spit out in it, don't blame me for going back and asking family law to deal with it."

Sun Chengtao suddenly slumped. Although Beizong had moved out for a period of time, this method was common to both sides.

Waiting for Sun Chengye and Yu Qian to answer respectfully.

Only then did Sun Shaozong step into the house, but he saw that although this old man Xu was over seventy years old, his hair was only gray, and his skin and muscles were firmer and firmer than the average old man. He was obviously a master of regular exercise.

He is now lying on the ground with his back to the sky, his eyes are round, and his expression is a bit weird, but there is not much trace of struggle.

The cause of death was naturally the iron sword slanted into his throat.

The exposed length of the iron sword is about two feet. According to the standard of three feet and three for ordinary long swords, it is about a foot and a half that is swallowed.

However, judging from the dried blood at the scene, the amount of bleeding does not seem to be very large.

On the other hand, there were a lot of dried up foam marks on the corners of his mouth.

tsk~

This case seems to be...

Sun Shaozong smacked his lips speechlessly, stretched out his hand to touch the iron sword, and carefully inspected Old Man Xu's limbs, then stood up and waved: "You three come in and take a closer look, and then talk about your respective infer."
