Dali Siqing solves the case and is super god

Li Cunying died in her own home.

When Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou passed by, the officials had already learned about the general situation and trotted over to report.

"...The deceased returned home yesterday evening. He said that it was the same as usual. There was nothing wrong with it, and there was nothing abnormal. He didn't go to the backyard after dinner, but went to the study. He often did this. He was used to it at home, and he didn't ask. During the period, he had to have tea twice, and the boy actually saw the person. It was fine, and there was nothing wrong with it. Around Xu time, the lights in the room were turned off, and the servants thought that the master was going to bed, so they didn’t pay attention anymore..."

Li Cunying's house is not small, as Chao Muyun and Ye Wugou walked all the way, there is a small garden in front of it, with rockery and stone scenery, green plants and flowers are well arranged, the study is located in the most quiet and quiet place, and the impression is more no the same.

"The window of the study is always open?" Chao Muyun pointed to the south and opened the slit window, "Did someone move it?"

The Zao official shook his head: "No one has touched it, it was like this when we came here, probably it's hot and needs some ventilation."

Chao Muyun pondered.

In summer, it is hot, and it is normal for people to need to open windows for ventilation, but is this window opened a little too small?There are elderly female relatives who are not in good health or suffering from illnesses. If they want to ventilate, but dare not blow too much, they will open a slit. But Li Cunying is in good health and has no illness or disaster. a small slit?

Ye Wugou is also very keen. He has been on boats all year round, so he is very sensitive to the direction. When he came in and took a look, his eyes fell on the west: "Go out from this wall, should there be an alley outside?"

Zao Li replied: "Yes, it is a short alley. Because it is not an important intersection, few outsiders pass by. It is very quiet no matter day or night. We are investigating the scene and have not had time to go outside..."

However, Chao Muyun understood what Ye Wugou was thinking. Although the house is a private house with guards, it is not very difficult to sneak into the person in the dark.

"Look at the scene first."

"Walk."

The two walked into the study side by side.

The deceased was hung on the beams of the house, and when viewed from below, bruises could be seen on his neck.

"Did you really hang yourself?" Ye Wugou rubbed his chin.

Chao Muyun said, "Not necessarily."

He has not systematically studied autopsy, but to solve the case, he must understand all kinds of knowledge more or less. Hanging death is accompanied by hypoxia and suffocation, which has a high probability of triggering cyanosis. The lips and nails of the deceased will have obvious color changes. But on Li Cunying's body... the similar marks are not too obvious.

Thinking of the situation of the two deceased before, Chao Muyun began to search carefully on the deceased——

"Come and see, is this a blister?" He quickly found something on the back of his left calf, and pointed it out to Ye Wugou.

After seeing it, Ye Wugou narrowed his eyes: "It's a scaled viper again?"

"That's right, it's this kind of snake!"

Huai didn't come a little late, came over to have a look, and immediately concluded: "He must have been bitten to death by a snake!"

Chao Muyun looked at the left and right officials: "Can the scene be recorded in detail?"

Zao Li nodded: "The record has been completed."

Chao Muyun: "Let's unload the corpse."

The corpse was hanging on the beams of the house, which was inconvenient for inspection, so it was not removed immediately, it was for the government and officials to understand the situation at the scene.

The corpse was temporarily unloaded on the door panel. She walked forward, looked at the eyelids of the deceased, reached out to touch the deceased, checked the body spots, body temperature, and rigors, and briefly untied the deceased's clothes to take a general look.

"The body is still warm, and the spots on the body are not obvious. The time of death of the deceased is probably within two or three hours. If we calculate it forward... probably Xu time?"

Ye Wugou listened, and looked at Muyun, it seemed that the timing of turning off the lights was very delicate.

"The cause of death..." Huai frowned slightly, "The blisters are so obvious, and there are also bite marks. In addition to the two deceased before, I can't think of anything else except the scaled viper, and this kind of snake venom acts on the brain, not the heart. It will cause a strong choking reaction, and the color of the lips and nails is like this, not too heavy..."

Huai didn't speak, stood up and looked around the room: "It is said that when snakes crawl, they will definitely leave winding marks. The two dead people before, the traces at the scene are not easy to detect. This is a new death. There must be snakes around the corners. Humans crawled over the tracks—ah here!"

"here."

At the same time, in different places, Huai Mei and Chao Muyun found similar traces.

What Huai didn't notice was that the corner of the table in the inner room was a little oily on the place where it was attached to the floor, which was like rubbing marks. Before this mark, there was a small drop of lamp oil on the floor, which probably happened when the servants changed lamps. Be careful what dripped, the amount is very small, almost undetectable, so I ignored it and didn't clean it, but snakes crawled past and stained it, and there would be a little trace, not many, but it was also obvious.

The trace that Chao Muyun found was in the corner of the window.

Recently, the weather in the capital is hot and dry. It hasn’t rained for a long time, so there is a lot of dust. The room is cleaned every day, but it doesn’t seem to be noticeable. The location next to the window is easy to be ignored, and snakes are snaking around. The traces of crawling, as long as there are, will be obvious.

Came in from here...

Chao Muyun looked out the window: "Here come—"

Before Zao Li stepped forward, Ye Wugou jumped out of the window.

"Be careful--"

"Don't step on the blades of grass," Ye Wugou shook his fan, smiling slightly, "I understand."

The traces on the grass are hard to find, but they are indeed hard to find, because snakes are silent and like to walk around dark edges, and it is difficult to find them if you are not careful. If there is no time to cover up the future, as long as you slip by the wall and observe along, you will be able to find it.

"Really!"

Ye Wugou even quickly sketched the route the snake crawled in—it started from the top of the wall.

Did it really come in over the wall?Is the murderer outside the wall, or is he also in?

But no obvious footprints were found.

"The murderer used a poisonous snake, so there is no need to come in?"

"No," Huai squatted back to look at the corpse again, "This strangle mark is a bit strange. I don't think it can be regarded as a post-mortem injury. The palm of the deceased also had traces of fingernails. He must have been struggling at that time..."

Chao Muyun lowered his eyes: "The deceased was hanged up while he was still alive?"

Huai no jaws: "Probably. First bitten by a snake, the poison is added to the body, and there is no strength to struggle. It doesn't take much effort for the murderer to hang him up."

As for why it was unnecessary, it should be because he wanted to fake the suicide scene, just like the last two times, this time he was in a hurry and couldn't wait for the person to die, so he hung him up.

As for no human footprints found in the courtyard——

Maybe martial arts?

"Tsk," Huai said without regret, "It's a pity that I met Lord Chao and me."

Mrs. Chao is thoughtful and discerning. She raises snakes herself and knows poison, so she can just help with this. If someone else handles the case, it may be very difficult.

Chao Muyun pondered: "After the Viper Scaled Snake bites a person, does the snake's venom develop quickly?"

Huai didn't nod: "Very fast."

"You said before that poisoned people will be accompanied by a certain state of excitement?"

"Yes, but it varies from person to person," Huai explained, "There are also environmental influences. For example, the poisoned person is doing something exciting at the time, and the feeling will be superimposed. If not, it will only be a little more lively. The duration It's very short, someone can guide and use it well, and it can achieve the desired effect, but it may be too late, urging the poisoned person to do more things... Not every performance will be so bizarre."

Chao Muyun: "But the blisters grow immediately."

Huai nodded: "The toxicity is severe, wherever you bite, blisters will immediately grow."

"But people don't die right away?"

"It's going to have to last a while, right? The longest...a cup of tea? The shortest may be just a few breaths."

It's totally enough for a murderer to hang someone.

While talking, Chao Muyun looked at other traces at the scene. The tea was served alone, and the chair had not been moved except where the owner was sitting. There was no sign of another person in the room. Obviously, the murderer had never been entertained. , there is a high probability that he is not a guest, this person is here to kill people.

"Report-"

The official Zao trotted in, and cupped his hands towards Muyun: "Master Chao, outside the west wall courtyard, we found a large number of footprints left, which are probably left by the murderer!"

Chao Muyun: "More or less, are the shoe prints clear?"

"It's not very clear," Zao Li frowned, "I can only judge that it's human footprints. It's a mess, and the area is large. It looks like it's fresh, and it's been a long time. It's hard to tell."

Chao Muyun raised his eyebrows: "Is someone watching Li Cunying?"

"Ah?" Zao Li didn't understand.

Ye Wugou understood, however, a large number of footprints, at different times, outside the western wall, there are many people coming, appearing frequently, what else could it be?It's just that I don't know if the person spying and monitoring is the murderer himself?

Chao Muyun was thoughtful.

Now the matter of the Cao Gang is almost on the surface. Dali Temple takes advantage of the case to investigate more things. , the sense of being spied on.

It's normal for others to come towards him, but he couldn't figure out why Li Cunying was here. This is just a small official who wants to dispatch Yandao, why is it so important?What role did this person play in these events and what part was he responsible for?

Who would be so interested in the people involved in this case?

Apart from Cao Gang, it is difficult for him to guess other directions.

"Search the Li family," Chao Muyun ordered calmly, "Be careful and careful, don't miss any details—"

Before he finished speaking, his vision went dark, and he fell forward unconsciously.

Ye Wugou's figure was swift, he stretched out his hand to catch the man in his arms, and said coldly: "Do as he said."

"Yes!"

Soap officials began to act.

Ye Wugou didn't stop either: "I'll take you back first."

Chao Muyun's body has always been sick and crooked, and everyone is used to it. Lord Ye is here, and the doctor is also there. Mr. Chao is full of blessings, and everything will be fine. If Mr. Chao wakes up, their affairs will not be done well...

The bureaucrats were excited, and the work still had to be done well!

……

When Chao Muyun woke up the next day, the situation in front of him was very familiar. Of course, he knew that his body couldn't bear it, and he got used to it.

Wake up and put on clothes, the porridge is hot, the tea is warm, the shoes are well placed, and they are in the place where they are used to. Everything is very thoughtful, but that person is not there.

"Master Ye just left." Huai didn't just hear the voice, and came over with a medicine bowl, "I watched you all night, I wanted to have breakfast with you, but I was called away by something outside."

Chao Muyun: "Are there any new clues?"

"I knew that with you, the world is big and the investigation is the biggest." Huai handed him the medicine bowl, "Drink first, eat, and some of the case files in the study are handled by you!"

The case progressed to this stage, more and more things came back, and the clues gradually gathered into a thread, which is really different from the past.

Chao Muyun buried his head in the official case, sat in the study for a whole day, tea and rice, soup and medicine, all picked up buds to watch and stare at, the sun moved along the window, and then slowly disappeared, the time was getting later and later, I don’t know How long has passed.

Feeling dry lips, when he reached out to touch the tea, he touched someone's hand.

"So much sleep and food, you don't even remember to drink water?"

Ye Wugou held his hand, stretched out the other to pour water for him, and brought it to his lips.

Chao Muyun took his hand, finished drinking a glass of water, and looked up at him with a smile in his eyes.

"Still laughing—" Ye Wugou glanced at the messy pile of files on the table, and his expression was not very good, "There are so many, what can you see?"

"I'm fine," Chao Muyun pulled him to sit down, and turned out the rice paper he had outlined before, "Come and see—"

The pages were laid out, one by one, full of analysis of the context of the case, from circles to names, from suspicious points to details, everything was missing.

Knowing Master Xiaochao's temperament, Ye Wugou never thought of taking him away from the study, and couldn't bear to meet such eyes, and just hoped that he could relax for a while: "It happens that I also have some new things, and I can discuss them with you. .”

Zhao Muyun's eyes lit up: "New clue?"

"But you have to listen to me, first let me squeeze your shoulders, drink a cup of tea, and I'll tell you."

Ye Wugou tilted his head, and his eyes were full of peach blossoms: "My leader today, his hands are a little itchy, and he wants to practice his skills. Will Master Xiaochao allow me to take advantage of this?"

The puns in the words are almost picked out, either because they want to practice some skills, or they want to take advantage.

But Chao Muyun knew that this time he really wasn't taking advantage, Ye Wugou saw that he had been sitting at the desk for too long and his shoulders were stiff.

Misfit puppy.

"Okay, give me a pinch."

Ye Wugou started immediately.

Look at the position, from slow to urgent, from urgent to slow, from light to heavy, from heavy to light, with a few smooth moves, he saw the joy of relaxation on Chao Muyun's face.

Eunuch Gui is really capable!The teaching is so good, I have to let my father reward him!

Even though Chao Muyun closed his eyes and enjoyed it, he didn't forget the business: "What new clues did you find?"

Ye Wugou didn't mean to hang himself, as long as Lord Xiaochao listened to his advice, he would be able to talk: "Do you still remember Yao Bo's body, the gold sand between the toenails?"

Of course Chao Muyun remembers, he still remembers when he studied this——

"Didn't you say that there won't be such Jinsha in the capital?"

Ye Wugou bent his lips: "It's true that the capital city is not like this, but what if someone artificially made it?"

"Man-made..." Chao Muyun pondered, "Can alchemy sand be made by man?"

Just when the best time for shoulder-squeezing was over, Ye Wugou stopped his hands, took out a small pouch from somewhere on his body, put it in Chao Muyun's palm, and opened the bag: "Look."

This is a small bag of golden sand, the texture is the same as the one found between Yao Bo's toes, very obvious fine sand, invisible to the naked eye, to Guangyao Jin, it is gold sand, but Zhao Muyun looked at the candle for a while, and suddenly frowned , found something wrong.

Ye Wugou: "Did you see it?"

"It's not the kind of sand I thought it would be."

Chao Muyun looked carefully for a while, with a firm expression on his face: "There is an ancient method of panning for gold in the sand, but the gold is stored in the sand. The amount is not large, and the gold is not easy to get. But this bag of sand is not gold hidden in the sand, but the sand. Put gold on it."

Sticking to the outside, rather than melting into the inside, it is not a natural gold sand mine, but more like... gold buried in the sand, after a long time, or not for a long time, after some accidental friction, some gold powder sticks to the sand.

He and Huai hadn't looked at the corpse together before, so they didn't see this point. It wasn't that they were not careful, but it was the spot between Yao Bo's toes, which was really hard to distinguish clearly.

"Someone hides gold... buried in the sand?" Chao Muyun looked at Ye Wugou, "Did you find it?"

Ye Wugou nodded, then shook his head again: "Maybe someone has eyes for money and wants to hide a huge fortune, or maybe there is something wrong with the gold during the transfer, and they can't get out temporarily, so they can only hide it. Following the clues, we found the sand where gold was buried, but it was a step too late, and the contents inside had already been transferred.”

Where it is now, and who is holding it down, I don't know for the time being.

Chao Muyun thought: "At least you have seen those sands, buried gold, but a bunker? Where is it located and how big is it?"

"Beside the moat, in the valley of the rocks, there are few people. The sand pit washed out by the river is usually very inconspicuous. No one will go there. What is the size..." Ye Wugou thought about the scene he wanted to see, "Only I dug There is a lot of gold that can be hidden in that bunker.”

The leader of the Chiwei Gang said a lot...

Chao Muyun raised his eyebrows: "In the capital, the only bank that can transfer such a large amount of gold?"

For example, Huitong Bank.

"But the gold in the bank is always counted, and the accounts have to be settled every day. If there is such a sudden amount of more or less, there must be traces. For example, if someone wants to withdraw it with a bank note, it probably needs to be notified in advance so that the bank can prepare."

"Guess what," Ye Wugou snapped his fingers, smiling complacently, "I also found this out."

Blinking slightly at Chao Muyun, the little wolf dog is really good this time, the investigation of the case is very clever.

Ye Wugou: "Qiwei also has accounts with Huitong. When I noticed the issue of banknotes, I let people pay attention to them quietly. Two days before Wang Deye's death, Huitong Bank had a transaction of withdrawing gold from banknotes. The amount was large. , the client’s identity could not be found out, and there were no more traces afterwards, the few carts of gold that were supposed to go out of the city just disappeared, don’t you think it’s strange?”

"Gone?"

Of course Chao Muyun knew that it was impossible to disappear, there were always traces where things went, and it was such a large amount of gold, how could it disappear?It could only be that someone wanted it to disappear.

"Is there any movement from the Cao Gang?"

"No."

"That's even more strange..."

With the power of the Caobang capital, how could it be possible not to know and not act?

It's hard for Chao Muyun not to suspect that Cao Gang is the mastermind behind this matter.
