The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 531: Bury the hatchet

Views:

Gloomy, cramped, lonely, rancid...

The water dungeon in Beizhen Fusi is undoubtedly a place with many negative attributes.

However, on the morning of the second day of September, the gloomy atmosphere in the water prison was much lessened by the continuous snoring.

More than a dozen Bailian cultists who were captured alive, whether they were broken legs, missing arms, burnt skins, frostbitten winds, hanging on the wall, or tied to the bed, all snored deeply. .

No way, the so-called 'pleasure of the gods' is actually a kind of stimulant with great side effects, and in order to suppress the overloaded excitement, the antidote that the Taiyuan Hospital came up with in a hurry is naturally anesthesia.

According to the Imperial Hospital, the thieves of the White Lotus Sect would have to sleep for five to six hours before gradually waking up.

Of course, even if the thieves are sleeping like dead pigs, there are still things that can be done.

Tianzi B room.

As soon as the thick iron door opened a gap, a tiger-headed walking stick could not wait to squeeze in, and forcefully pry the door round.

Looking at the prisoner who was tightly bound to the bed, the owner of the crutch looked ferocious and excited. He waved his hand to shake off the support of the people around him, and stumbled to the front of the bed, staring at the prisoner for a long time, then suddenly laughed up to the sky.

"Old thief, thief, you have today too! Ha...haha..."

After just laughing a few times, the man coughed violently again, his waist could not be straight, and his tall and thin body was hunched like a prawn.

"Dad, are you alright?!"

The man who was thrown off by him earlier, hurriedly stepped forward, rubbing his chest and beating his back. After a while, he regained his strength, with a red head and panting, but he waved his hand with a smile on his face and said, "It's not in the way. , I'm fine, fine, fine!"

At this time, Lu Hui, who followed up, opened his mouth and asked: "Look at what General Zhou means, this person really is the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect, Ge Chen?"

"Absolutely can't go wrong!"

As General Zhou said that, he picked up his crutch and knocked on his left leg, gritted his teeth and said, "Thanks to this old thief's poisonous bristle, the people I've lived in these years are neither ghost nor ghost, it's just in a dream, old man. Also recognize his face!"

Hearing General Zhou's determination, Lu Hui didn't know whether he was happy or worried, and ordered Yang Licai to send General Zhou and his son away, and then led Sun Shaozong in the water prison, patrolling silently.

Seeing that he was about to return to the Tianzi cell again, Lu Huicai suddenly stopped and asked inadvertently, "I heard that when you took the thief last night, it was in the name of Shuntianfu?"

To say that this is a cross-examination is not quite enough.

But if a bad answer is given, it is very likely that it will make a false statement.

Sun Shaozong smiled, but he didn't answer and asked, "Do you still remember what you said to Xiaguan when you first met with Xiaguan?"

"Which one?"

"You asked me to pay more attention to our Beizhen Fusi, and also said that the lower officials were born in warriors after all, and the positions of the prefect and the governor are not easy to remember."

These words are indeed from Lu Hui's mouth, but time has changed. Hearing Sun Shaozong mention this again, Lu Hui's face became a little ugly, thinking that Sun Shaozong was demonstrating against himself, and even wanted to take the opportunity to challenge his authority.

"Today, the lower official might as well have a thorough understanding with the adults."

Sun Shaozong walked around from the back to the front, looked directly into Lu Hui's eyes and said, "With my Sun Shaozong's ambition and vision, I won't be framed in these two yamen!"

Lu Hui's complexion changed again, his eyes flickered uncertainly, and he was hesitant to say anything.

Sun Shaozong also knew that such empty vernacular might not be able to win his trust, so he added: "Actually, the lower official has heard some rumors recently, and the court seems to intend to send me to Huguang to quell the rebellion..."

Lu Hui's expression was cloudy again for a while, and suddenly he let out a long sigh, "As expected, a hero is a boy."

Having said that, he bowed and gave a deep salute to Sun Shaozong, and said, "This old man was greedy for power and position, and he actually gave birth to some villainous thoughts. It is really ashamed."

Sun Shaozong hurriedly dodged, and reached out to help Lu Hui up again. The two looked at each other and smiled, not to mention what was going on in their hearts.

So Lu Hui ordered Sun Shaozong to write down the details of last night's capture of the thief in detail, and he would take it with him to report to Commander Dai.

It was originally supposed to be reported by Sun Shaozong himself, but after the Crown Prince's case, the access control in the palace became more and more strict. Foreign officials like Sun Shaozong could not be summoned and could not enter the palace at all.

As for Lu Hui, he already had the honorary title of the internal guard, so he was qualified to enter the palace to seek Dai Quan.

However, such a big matter has already spread throughout the capital, and in the end Dai Quan must still ask Sun Shaozong to clarify, so he is not afraid that Lu Hui will dare to take credit for him.

Not to mention what Lu Hui said in front of Dai Quan.

However, he said that Sun Shaozong stayed in the water prison and did not sit idle.

Zhao Chiayi, Beizhen Fusi Shi Qianhu, the commander-in-chief of the operation, the suspected time: Chenshi [7:00 to 9:00 in the morning].

Song Xiong, Beizhen Fusi Baihu, commander of the surveillance team, suspected time: Mao Shi [5:00 am to 7:00 am], noon [11:00 noon to 1:00 pm].

Zang Liang, deputy commander of the monitoring team, Beizhen Fusi's trial 100 households. Suspected time: Si Shi [9:00 to 11:00 in the morning].

Xu Kun: General Banner of the Fusi Division in Beizhen, member of the monitoring team, suspected time: 12:00, noon.

Zhao Wei: Chief Banner of Beizhen Fusi, member of the surveillance team, suspected beforehand: morning time [7:00 am to 9:00 am], Si Shi.

The above five people were the unfortunate people who were thrown into the Fusi Water Prison in Beizhen when they were unable to prove their innocence during the inn’s campaign against bandits.

Although for the spy agency, 'it is better to kill by mistake and not let it go' is the basic principle, but Sun Shaozong, who has been in criminal investigation for many years, is still bitter about this.

Therefore, taking advantage of his free time, he first sorted out the timeline of the five people, in order to find out the real murderer as soon as possible, and give justice to the other people.

In addition, given that their timelines often overlap, I am afraid that it is necessary to mark the specific action roadmap according to the time segment.

"First of all, Zhao Chiayi."

Sun Shaozong muttered to himself, and in the thick stack of copies of the investigation files, he found Zhao Chiayi's confession, and then found out the details of Chen Shi line by line.

He picked up the pen and dipped in some ink. He was about to make an annotation on the left side of the timeline. By the way, he drew a sketch. Suddenly, a timid voice came from behind him: "Big... Sir."

Sun Shaozong looked back and saw that the shopkeeper Wu and his wife walked into the guard room tremblingly under the 'guards' of the four small schools.

The reason why they say 'guards', not escorts, is because shopkeeper Wu and his wife are also dressed in ink Jiao swallowing cloud robes, and they are also the small flag armbands of the eighth grade.

Sun Shaozong looked up and down at the couple, and then helped Manager Wu to straighten the folds on the front.

Seeing him shrinking back subconsciously, he put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't the clothes fit well, what are you doing with your frowning face? Come on, let me show you a smile first. "

Shopkeeper Wu's stiff face was twisted for a while, and he managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying. After all the events last night, his fear of Sun Shaozong was almost rooted in his bones.

"Tsk, let them see what you look like, and we should think that our Beizhen Fusi abused you." Sun Shaozong raised his chin and instructed: "Go, bring a bronze mirror and let us, Master Wu, have a good practice. How to laugh happily."

Before he finished speaking, a small school led the order and rushed out.

Sun Shaozong left Manager Wu, turned around and returned to the table. He was about to continue to complete the timeline of the five suspects, when he heard Xu's disdain sneering: "This is the dignity you got by betraying the Holy Religion?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shopkeeper Wu was startled, and hurriedly put out his hand to cover her mouth, and then turned to Sun Shaozong, who looked back, and said with an apologetic smile: "Sir, calm down, it's just that I'm just not used to it for a while."

"Laughing this time, it's a little bit more interesting."

Sun Shaozong commented casually, waved his hand as if chasing flies, and instructed, "Take Lord Xu to walk around the ground, and see what those who are not decent look like."

"grown ups!"

Shopkeeper Wu was startled, and without even thinking about it, he knelt down and begged: "I also ask the Lord to be kind..."

"Don't worry, it's just a turn around. I'm still pointing at your husband and wife for meritorious deeds. How could I harm her?"

Seeing what Sun Shaozong said, the shopkeeper Wu had to stare at Mrs Xu before being escorted out of the guard room by the two small schools.

Not long after, the first school brought the bronze mirror, but the shopkeeper Wu still laughed, made many expressions of anxiety, almost every one of them could stop the child from crying.

I don't know how long it took before I saw Mrs. Xu folded back with all her beards and tails, but her indifferent and disdainful face turned pale and panicked. As soon as she entered the door, she approached Shopkeeper Wu, bowing her head for half a sentence. Don't dare to say much.

"how."

Sun Shaozong stopped writing for a while and turned his head to ask, "Compared to those people, is your husband decent enough?"

Xu Shi hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and then retched again, hurriedly covering his mouth with his hands.

But it turned out that in the third room, it was not someone else, but the thief who was chased yesterday in a panic and did not hesitate to throw himself into the river to avoid it.

At that time, there were about seven or eight people who jumped into the river. Most of them were either burnt to coke or disappeared completely. Only two of them barely survived.

It can be said that he survived, in fact, it is better to die.

Not to mention the extensive burns on his body, his eyes, ears, mouth and nose were covered with boiled tung oil. Now he is blind, deaf, and unable to speak, so he just hangs his breath and waits to die.

Originally, Sun Shaozong didn't intend to bring them back to the Fusi Division of Beizhen, but the two were taken by the commoners on the other side of the river. The common people sent them to ask for rewards, so it's not good to just throw them away as 'trash', right

Simply use the waste and use it as a killer.

Judging from Xu's reaction, the effect of this 'killing stick' seems to be pretty good.

So Sun Shaozong immediately made a final decision: "If a thief wakes up later, he will first send him to the Dizi No. C room to refresh himself, and then invite Mrs. Wu and his wife to preach to them the benefits of abandoning the dark and turning to the light."

Thanks to the book friends 'Invincible Fei Fei, only waiting for you for three years, Fu You Shen, 1 Liu Zijian 1, Snap Finger Eternal, Iron Man' for the reward.
