The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 386: The Royal Opera Troupe Murder Case [Part 1]

When I heard that someone had died in the royal troupe, Sun Shaozong naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly turned back to complain to Jia She and his brother, and then rushed to the scene with Jiang Yuhan.

Speaking of coming from the cracking of the'Longsheng Old Store's Heart-cutting Case', Sun Shaozong has not been out on the scene for a few days. This moment when he enters the working state, it really feels like nostalgia for a lifetime.

But the moment I saw the murder scene, this feeling of nostalgia dissipated for the most part.

I saw that outside the row of simple thatched sheds, surrounded by seven or eight actors with heavy makeup, each of them was different in height, short, fat, and thin, but all of them covered their noses with their hands.

As for the reason...

"Then Zhu Er was killed while going to the toilet?"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yuhan also took out the veil, concealed his mouth and nose and said, "When someone entered the toilet, he just opened the door of the second latrine in Dongshou, and saw him lying in it bloody, he had been breathless for a long time! "

As he said, he raised his voice and ordered: "Go away a little bit, let Master Sun investigate the case!"

The actors hurriedly stepped aside and looked at Sun Shaozong with awe and expectation. Before rehearsing, Jiang Yuhan collected a lot of Sun Shaozong’s experience in solving the case for everyone to figure out the role. There were many people in the Wangfu troupe, so he became Sun Shaozong. The reasoning fan.

However, Sun Shaozong was expressionless. When he reached the second latrine in Dongshou, he raised his eyes and glanced inward, and he was secretly relieved that it was a famous restaurant in Beijing. The sanitary condition of this latrine was better than imagined. It’s much stronger.

The entire latrine is about two meters long from north to south and about 1.5 meters wide. There is a thatched shed for shading and rain protection. It is surrounded by a whitewashed wooden wall. The tunnel in the middle is tightly covered by a wooden board. A long handle is nailed so that when the person goes to the toilet, he can easily remove it.

In addition, there was a grandmaster chair in the corner, and an arc-shaped hole was opened in the seat, which looked like an ancient toilet.

At this time, Zhu Er’s corpse sat paralyzed on the Grand Master’s chair with wide-eyed eyes, with only a piece of plain white underwear on his body, and a dagger stuck in his heart. If nothing happens, this should be what the deceased suffered. Fatally wounded.

Sun Shaozong looked at the lock of the latrine beforehand, and saw that there was no sign of forcible damage on it. Then he stepped in and stretched out his hand to lift the wooden board that was pressing down on the tunnel.

An indescribable breath will suddenly come out!

Sun Shaozong suffocated his head and glanced down, and then hurriedly pressed the wooden board back.

After this, he came to Zhu Er's corpse and examined it carefully.

I wish I was in my thirties, short stature, white face and needless, leaning back on the chair, his arms hanging naturally on the outside of the armrest. Cannon fodder always wants to be the protagonist [wearing the book]

After preliminary investigation, the deceased seemed to have only the fatal wound on the chest.

The murder weapon was a dagger less than six inches, narrow and sharp, with no blood groove on the side. After being inserted into the heart by the murderer, it seemed to have no intention of being pulled out, so the amount of bleeding from the wound was not very large.

After confirming this, Sun Shaozong immediately checked again, Zhu Er hanging his hands on the outside of the armrest.

Generally, if a sharp object is pierced into the heart, and a large amount of blood loss is not pulled out in an instant, the deceased can often explode fierce struggle before death, so it is very likely that there will be scraps of skin and flesh or clothes fibers in the fingers. Clues.

Sure enough, after Sun Shaozong conducted a careful investigation, he found some moon-white fibers in the nails of the deceased.

but……

These white fibers seem to be of the same material as the clothes of the deceased.

Did he catch his clothes before he died?

Sun Shaozong pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned his head out of the latrine, and pulled a actor dressed as a martial artist nearby, opened the colorful costumes, and studied it well.

The Wusheng was dumbfounded by him. When he didn't know whether to resist or if he wanted to refuse to welcome him, Sun Shaozong had already abandoned him and asked, "The moon white underwear you wear inside, but the royal troupe issued it uniformly?"

Everyone nodded together, and Jiang Yuhan also covered his nose and said with an urn: "Brother Sun, the clothes in our troupe are all made by the sewing lady in the mansion, so they are all uniform in style and material."

"In this way, the chances of internal crimes are very high."

Sun Shaozong unquestionably ordered: "Brother Jiang will also ask the inside and outsiders of the troupe to convene to the backstage so that I can examine the corpse and ask questions."

In fact, Jiang Yuhan felt that the murderer was inside the theatrical troupe, so he hurriedly ordered the troupe all the people backstage.

But he said that Sun Shaozong turned his head back, and went to the corpse again, continuing to investigate carefully.

The deceased stared in anger, and his expression was horrified with some disbelief. Perhaps he did not believe that the murderer would attack him?

At the corners of the deceased's mouth, there seemed to be many traces of saliva spilling.

Sun Shaozong further opened the deceased's lips to check and found clear tooth marks on the inner wall of the lips, which should be the marks left by the deceased's mouth when pressed by external force. Time lover

Could it be that he covered his mouth with one hand and pierced the heart with a dagger with the other?

If so, this person should be quite agile.

but……

Being agile seems to be the basic skill of an actor, so it can't be regarded as too important evidence.

Sun Shaozong groaned in his heart, and then carefully pulled the deceased itself outwards, so as to make some gaps and check the situation behind the deceased.

The first thing I checked was the back of the head. Except for some floating dust, no signs of collision or violent friction were found on it.

If the murderer stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, according to common sense, the deceased should have leaned back and avoided.

Was the inference about covering the mouth with the hand wrong, or was it because the deceased did not touch the wall when he was struggling?

wrong!

Based on the blood in the deceased’s abdomen, it can be concluded that he was attacked while sitting on a chair, and if he struggled a little bit, he would knock down the wall behind. That is to say, there is a problem with the inference of covering his mouth with his hand ?

And there are obviously some friction marks on the wall behind the deceased's head.

Could it be that there was something on the back of his head at the time?

While constantly scrutinizing based on clues, while constantly questioning himself, Sun Shaozong carefully inspected the murder scene inside and out twice.

I was habitually ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in my mind to simulate the scene of the murderer committing a crime. Suddenly someone outside said respectfully: "Master Zhizhong, after repeated questioning by the next official, I learned of this sudden death of Zhu Er. I am used to stealing, raping, and arguing, so I am at odds with many people in the troupe."

"In addition, Zhu Er once made a big joke on the stage because of the unbearable abdominal pain. From then on, every time the show started, he would first go to the latrine to show respect. No one in the troupe knew about this."

These words are concise and concise.

Sun Shaozong looked back curiously, and saw a person standing outside the latrine, but it was Chengsu Xingfang in Daxing County.

"Why, Su County Cheng also came to listen to the show?"

"Don't hide it from your lord."

Su Xingfang smiled sorrowfully: "The lower officials have been here for three full days, and I don't know how much official duties have been delayed because of this. I don't know if this should be the case, but I really can't bear such a wonderful show."

This person usually looks smart and strong, but he didn't think that inside was actually a play idiot.
