Chapter 388: The Murder Case of the Royal Mansion Troupe [中]

However, he said that Sun Shaozong went out of the latrine, and led Su Xingfang out of the distance. He faced the flower bed in the corner and took a few deep breaths of fresh air before asking: "Su County Chancellor, dare to ask if you have been to the latrine before the play begins. How many are there?"

"grown ups."

Su Xingfang smiled bitterly and said, "Because of Zhu Er's lesson, everyone in this troupe is used to going to the toilet before the show starts. I just asked casually, and a dozen people claimed to have been there—not to mention the chaos in the backstage at that time. , even if someone lied that they had not been there, they may not be able to find out."

tsk~

It seems that the thing of 'urinating spot' really existed in ancient times.

Sun Shaozong pondered for a while, and then asked again: "Su County Chancellor, except for those who have a quarrel with Zhu Er, have you ever asked which people in this troupe have a close personal relationship with Zhu Er?"

"Have a close personal relationship with him?"

"good."

Sun Shaozong pointed back and said, "When I was investigating, I found that the deceased had indeed used the latrine, which means that the murderer could not have barged in and killed him before he locked the toilet door."

"And he was killed sitting in the corner. If he was suddenly attacked at the moment when the door was opened after going to the toilet, this situation is unlikely to occur - especially when there are not many signs of struggle around."

"So I infer that probably when he finished going to the toilet, or was about to finish, the murderer called to open the toilet door, killed him and walked away."

"But the latrine is a very private place. If it is not for the close relationship with the deceased, or the person who has agreed with him in advance, I am afraid that it will be difficult to knock on the door."

"This… "

Su Xingfang felt reasonable when he heard it, but it was even more difficult on the face, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "According to the investigation of the lower official, the one who is closest to Zhu Er in the Wangfu opera troupe is the class leader Jiang Yuhan - this Zhu Er He is the son of Jiang Yuhan's mentor, so he has always been under his protection."

This is not beyond Sun Shaozong's expectations. A person with an unpleasant personality can not only gain a foothold in the palace troupe, but even get a role of considerable weight. How can there be no support behind him

but…

Sun Shaozong shook his head and said decisively: "The murderer should not be Jiang Yuhan. His every move in Wangjiang Tower has attracted much attention. It is unreasonable to choose to attack at this time."

Moreover, with Jiang Yuhan's status in the palace opera troupe, he could completely kill Zhu Er without knowing it, so there was no need to make such a big noise.

Of course, it is inconvenient to speak clearly to Su Xingfang for the latter one.

Su Xingfang was obviously also a fan of Jiang Yuhan. Hearing what Sun Shaozong said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, yes, I don't think it's Jiang Ban's leader!"

But apart from Jiang Yuhan, Su Xingfang did not know who else had a close personal relationship with that Zhu Er.

While the two of them were talking, they reached the temporary backstage, but they saw the two dragon guards patrolling back and forth with their forehands pressed against their waist knives. Seeing that Sun Shaozong came to the front, they just folded their hands loosely, and started to patrol again.

Su Xingfang explained in a low voice: "Just now, when Xiaguan went to the backstage to inquire about the case, he saw a lot of people gathered outside. In order to avoid interfering with the adults in solving the case, Xingguan asked the guards of the palace to come forward and disperse them first."

The guards of the palace should belong to the Nanzhen Fusi. No wonder they didn't give a good face after seeing Sun Shaozong.

"Brother Sun, Master Su."

At this time, Jiang Yuhan was greeted from the inside, and said with a sullen face: "I don't know that it was the talkative person who stabbed the news in front of the prince. Now the prince is furious, and he gave an order to let the troupe return to the palace immediately, and hand it over to Zhou. Chang Shi is responsible for a thorough investigation of this matter."

tsk~

Sun Shaozong was immediately embarrassed. If he hadn't taken over the case, the palace would investigate and deal with it in private, but it would be fine. But now that he has taken over the case, if he sits and watches the palace deal with it privately, wouldn't it be a good idea to spread it out

But for the sake of an actor, it is also true that he is screwing with King Zhongshun...

In the midst of trouble, Sun Shaozong suddenly found that Jiang Yuhan's brows and eyes were full of resentment, and his heart suddenly moved.

It was said that Zhou Changshi was extremely loyal and obedient to Wang Xinzhong, and he was a scholar of the eight classics, so there might not be much harmony between him and Jiang Yuhan, the number one personal pet.

So he deliberately frowned and said, "Brother Jiang, it's okay to be on the side, but I don't know how the government is going to ask questions? Now many of these people are suspected, if they are tortured one by one, I am afraid that the entire troupe will be injured. At that time, you will be afraid that your face will be…”

"Brother Sun!"

Jiang Yuhan's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he suddenly bowed and said, "I know that you are a god in your case. I wonder if you can find out the real culprit in this case for me before noon, or let Jiang give the prince an explanation?"

"This… "

Now that there is less than an hour before noon, even though Sun Shaozong has always been known for his speed in solving cases, he does not dare to make this package, he just said solemnly: "I can only promise to try my best, as for whether I can find out the truth, I am afraid it will depend on it. What is God's will?"

Jiang Yuhan hesitated for a moment, and after all, he stomped his feet unwillingly, and said, "Well, let's bet on the will of God!"

Having said that, he complained to Sun Shaozong and asked Sun Shaozong and Su Xingfang to wait outside for a while, and then hurriedly entered the room again.

Not long after, I heard Jiang Yuhan screaming inside: "At that time, Jiang will plead guilty to the prince on his own, but it will not be the turn of the surnamed Zhou to punish me!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw two tyrannical slaves in blue clothes and small hats, who walked out of the backstage in embarrassment.

At this time, Jiang Yuhan came out again and invited the two in.

Sun Shaozong also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so as he walked in, he roughly informed Jiang Yuhan of the speculation that an acquaintance committed the crime, and asked him if he knew who in the troupe had a close personal relationship with Zhu Er.

"This… "

Jiang Yuhan slowed down and said embarrassedly: "To be honest, this Zhu Er is also my eyeliner in the troupe. He often reports other people's affairs to me on weekdays, but he rarely mentions himself, so I don't know. , and who does he have a close relationship with?"

This is typical dark under lights.

While they were talking, the three of them had already entered, but they saw more than thirty men and women, all wearing moon-white underwear, standing in one place in a panic.

Jiang Yuhan explained again: "Just now I saw what Brother Sun meant. There seems to be some clues related to this underwear, so I asked them to take off the costumes and coats, so that it is convenient for you to check."

Because it was a hot summer, the white lining was made of silk that month, and the hoop was extremely thin. It was not a problem for male actors, but those female actors who showed their curves and showed their flesh, did not dare to raise their hands to block the spring light. , which shows that Jiang Yuhan's usual law is strict.

In fact, these days, the folk actors are all filled by men, and the domestic team is dominated by women—and only the 'indiscriminate' and reckless king Zhongshun would choose to mix men and women.

Sun Shaozong roughly scanned these people, but suddenly frowned: "Liu Xian brother, what are you doing in there?"

But it turned out that Liu Xianglian was also lined up in a careless line.

"Could it be that brother forgot?"

Liu Xianglian said confidently: "I am also hanging out in the troupe now, and naturally I am also one of the suspects."

When other people encounter this kind of thing, they are desperately pushing it out.

Sun Shaozong was really too lazy to pay attention to him, so he said solemnly: "Before the show, whoever has been to the toilet has stepped forward for this official."

As soon as these words came out, there were nine men, five women and fourteen people, standing out in unison.
