Chapter 356 Gaga and the Killing
The Jianghu people will not get involved with the imperial court, and the imperial court will not interfere with the affairs of the Jianghu people. The two sides are not in conflict with each other.
But having said that, there seems to be a big problem in this little city.
A thousand-faced ferocious phoenix is in the city, the crazy monk Du Chun is outside the city, and Tang Lianyu, the eldest daughter of Tang Feng Company, is the one who leads the way. The Wen and Qing families, who have always had a grudge, committed murders almost at the same time and blamed each other. The government Not only did they not try to reconcile, but they covered it up...
It's so troublesome, really troublesome.
Qin Yan felt like his scalp was numb just by looking at the information he had obtained so far. He especially wanted to get rid of Yang Yiyi and rush to Liangcheng to join Zhou Yuxuan.
But she knew that if she really did this, she would be punished even if she got punished.
However, Yang Yiyi seemed completely unaware of how deep the water was, and she stupidly asked Wen Peng about the situation at the time of the crime.
For a big family business like this, there are several accounting offices.
The accountant who died in the Wen family was the youngest among them. He was introduced by the old accountant in the family. It is said that he was a cousin of the old accountant.
He is about thirty years old, and he is a kind-hearted person. He has worked in the Wen family for two months, and during this period, he has never been known to have a crush on anyone. He is a well-connected person.
At the time of the incident, he was alone in the room. Since it was almost the end of the year, he had to pay accounts to female workers and the silk factory. The accounting clerks were very busy, and many people would work by midnight.
This was originally a very common thing, but early the next morning, a servant saw that the light was still on in the deceased's room, thinking that the deceased fell asleep while settling accounts.
However, there was no response when I knocked on the door. When I opened the door, I saw that the accountant was dead on the table.
The government sent people to investigate and found that the fatal injury was a sword wound on the back of the neck, which penetrated directly through the back of the head. The technique was sharp and fast, and a life was lost with just one sword blow.
Wu Zuo judged that the deceased was killed in the early morning, probably around Chou hour. The more specific time is unknown.
At this time, everyone in Wen Mansion was asleep, and no one saw anything unusual or heard any movement.
The reason why the Qing family was accused of doing this is actually very simple.
The Qing family has a set of ancestral swordsmanship, which is famous for its speed, accuracy and ruthlessness. It can indeed penetrate the back of a person's head with one sword.
But this reason is indeed too far-fetched. It's just that the two families have always had a grudge. Before the Wen family even spoke, there was already news that the Wen family was blaming the Qing family. As time went by, it became clear that this rumor had noses and eyes, and it was hard to tell whether it was true or not. Fake.
Of course the government can't handle the case so casually, not to mention that the other party being accused is also a big family in Silk City, but they don't seem to handle it properly at all. The people who come look at it and leave. It's been half a month and there is no news at all. .
It feels like someone killed someone and then spread the news to blame the Qing family in order to provoke conflict between the two families.
But then again, who would do this?
Just listening to Wen Peng's description, it is difficult to pinpoint the scope of the murderer. After all, the operation of stabbing the back of the head with a sword is not impossible to copy. Anyone with some experience in using swords can do it.
The more I thought about it, the more trouble it became, but Yang Yiyi actually seemed not to be afraid of the trouble, and even said she wanted to visit the room of the deceased...
She is really brave.
——
Qin Yan wants to be a thief, not a hero, and she definitely doesn't like asking for trouble.
On the contrary, Yang Yiyi, I just want to be a hero, so when there is injustice, I will naturally take care of it.
Upon hearing that someone seemed to be deliberately provoking a dispute between the two families, Yang Yiyi, who originally felt a little troublesome, immediately said that the heroine will take care of this matter!
——That’s really easy to fool.
Wen Peng called the servant and asked the servant to lead the two of them to the deceased's room to check.
When I arrived at the place, I discovered that the living conditions in the accounting room were really good.
The Wen family's accountant lived in a separate small courtyard, and he was given two rooms. The small courtyard even had a pool, rockery and a quiet bamboo forest.
Since it may be an additional house, the Feng Shui is not good, and there is a sharp eaves diagonally opposite the house, so a small Bagua mirror is hung on the door frame to block evil spirits.
Among the two rooms, one of them was filled with clutter, and some unorganized books and the like could be seen stacked on the cabinets.
It is said that this accountant is new. He may be busy with work and has not yet sorted out his personal belongings.
The other room is where you work and live, but the furnishings are relatively simple, including a wardrobe, a bookshelf, a bed, and a set of tables and chairs.
The Four Treasures of the Study and a pen holder were also placed on the table. A stack of unused thick rice paper remained untouched, and some blood stains were faintly visible on the edge of the table.
"My master has given orders that the two heroines can watch as they please. If you have any instructions, please call the younger ones at any time."
"Have any outsiders come in here?"
"No, since the accident, only officials have come in to check, and nothing has been touched."
After Qin Yan asked this question, she turned around and saw Yang Yiyi looking at her with a look of help.
How could Yang Yiyi do any research? Her only impression of this room was that it was very clean and nothing else.
You have no idea what you promised just now!
Are you cheating on me?
However, Qin Yan felt a little relieved to be looked at by Yang Yiyi like this.
After all, Qin Yan was chased and beaten by Yang Yiyi three times, so it was inevitable that she would feel happy when she saw her defeated.
So she didn't bother to complain about Yang Yiyi, so she walked to the table and looked at it carefully.
There wasn't much blood left on the table. You should know that stabbing the back of the head wasn't like cutting a finger. There were many blood vessels on the scalp, not to mention a lot of blood and brain matter in the brain.
There was only a faint bloodstain on the table, like a blurred pattern, which would not be noticed if you did not look carefully.
He looked at the ground again, and there was no blood spot left.
Qin Yan judged:
"This person has excellent swordsmanship, and uses a fast sword that is rare in ordinary times."
He pierced through and pulled out immediately, so fast that the blood came to stick to the sword. The operation was smooth and flowing, which might have happened in an instant. The deceased did not even realize that he was stabbed. He died on the spot.
Seeing this scene, it seems that it is not so far-fetched to suspect the Qing family. The person with this ability in the whole Silk City may really be the fast sword of the Qing family.
However, without seeing the body, Qin Yan could not judge whether it was a three-foot sword, a short sword, or a shorter weapon such as a dagger.
This difference is still very large. The length of the weapon is different, and the strength and skills are of course different. If there is a medical examination record of the coroner, a more accurate judgment can be made.
"No murder weapon was found in the house, right? Did the government say what killed him?"
The servant shook his head:
"The government didn't say anything, they just asked the coroner to take the body away for examination, and then let us bring it back for burial."
The person has been buried, why go digging graves at this time.
To be honest, Qin Yan wanted to be a thief, not a tomb robber, and she really didn't dare to do such a thing.
"Are the books on the bookshelf all account books?"
"No, those are the books that the accountant brought himself."
Yang Yiyi's words reminded Qin Yan, and she asked:
"The accountant was doing the accounts when he died, and the account books have been put away?"
"This..."
The servant hesitated a little, after all, account books are not something that everyone can see.
"I just want to confirm whether there is any blood or other stains on the account book?"
"I haven't heard of any blood, but I heard from other accountants that the account book is not calculated correctly."
"Why is it wrong?"
"I don't know the details, I just heard about it. How about you two ladies go with me to ask?"
Yang Yiyi nodded quickly, and nodded vigorously.
Although Li Chengxi couldn't speak casually in front of Qin Yan, this operation was actually similar to usual. The only difference was that Qin Yan made the plan and Yang Yiyi was responsible for killing people.
It's just that the truth is still unclear at present, and Yang Yiyi can only be responsible for killing people...
