The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion - Chapter 50

[Chapter 50 Xinglong Street Tengu Heart Devouring Incident [Part 2]]

A stray tengu with a mouthful of human teeth—however you think about it, it seems a little funny!

Therefore, Jia Yucun couldn’t help but blurt out: “So, Shilang Ge was killed by someone, not by some tiangou?”

“certainly!”

Sun Shaozong said disdainfully: “It was someone who killed Shilang Ge and learned to bark in the room with the intention of pretending to be a Tengu trying to kill him! It’s a pity that his arrangement was too clumsy, not only did not play a role in concealment, but completely exposed it. Horse feet!”

clumsy?

Apart from Sun Shaozong himself, there is probably no one present who would use the word ‘clumsy’ to describe these arrangements – in fact, if it wasn’t for Sun Shaozong himself, it would have been impossible for someone else to make it out of a lump of minced meat. , to see what flaws come!

only……

“Sun Tong sentenced.”

I heard Ge Xiaorui, the eldest son of Shilang Ge, questioning: “You just said that after the murderer killed my father, he hid in the house and learned how to bark? But if this is the case, when we arrived in the courtyard, the murderer was still in the study. Then how did he disappear out of thin air?”

“Yup!”

The second son, Ge Xiaoxian, also helped: “When we knocked open the door, apart from my father’s body, let alone people, not even a hair… not even a shadow!”

He wanted to say ‘I didn’t even see a hair’, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered the tuft of dog hair, so he hurriedly changed the lines below.

The remaining third-eldest Ge Xiaoyi and fourth-eldest Ge Xiaowen also raised questions one after another.

The very cunning Concubine Zhang, who had already been beaten silently, saw that Sun Shaozong had suddenly become the target of public criticism, and suddenly became stunned, shouting in a shrill voice: “I’ll just say it! It must be the Tengu. Master’s life, otherwise, how could it disappear without a trace under the eyes of all of us?!”

Seeing that the theory of ‘tengu’s death’ that had just been overthrown, became noisy again for a while, and even Jia Yucun and others became suspicious again.

If you want to get rid of feudal superstition, it really is a long way to go!

Sun Shaozong smiled helplessly, pointed to the bedroom and said, “Actually, it’s not as difficult as you think to disappear out of this bedroom. If you don’t believe me, you will understand when you go in with me and take a look.”

Having said that, I asked Zhou Da to explain a few words, and then walked into the bedroom first.

Everyone rushed in, and saw Sun Shaozong pointing at the corpse and the tub, and said, “Actually, when I first saw the corpse and the tub, I felt a little strange, even if I wanted to get rid of the clues left on the corpse. If you rinse it off, you don’t need to scoop out a whole tub of water, right?”

“You know, no matter what method you use to scoop water from the tub, it will become extra troublesome to reach the bottom. It is inferred from common sense that the murderer does not need to scoop up the water at all – unless he has other purposes!”

“Following these suspicions, I carefully investigated the scene, and finally found that the reason why the murderer had to repeatedly flush the chest with water was not to clean up the traces on the body, but to achieve two other purposes!”

“Two other purposes?”

“That’s right!”

Sun Shaozong stretched out two fingers and continued to talk eloquently: “First and foremost, the first purpose is to cover up the fact that he once took a bath in the bathtub after the murder…”

“and many more!”

Before Sun Shaozong could finish speaking, the aunt Zhang jumped out again and questioned in a shrill voice: “How do you know that the murderer once took a bath in the bathtub?”

“Of course it’s because of the red marks on the inside of the tub!”

Sun Shaozong walked to the tub, pointed to the inside of the tub, and said, “Although the murderer pretended to clean the body and splashed all the water in the tub on the ground, the murderer didn’t notice that, in fact, when he was taking a bath, the blood on his body was dirty. Already inside the tub, a circle of reddish marks has been dyed!”

Everyone went up to check one by one, and sure enough, they found that there was a very inconspicuous circle of light red marks on the inside of the barrel, near the top! ”

Others were amazed at Sun Shaozong’s insight, but the concubine Zhang still questioned unconvincedly: “Then how can you be sure that this trace was stained during the bath and not accidentally made by the murderer when he was scooping water?”

This woman is so rambunctious, doesn’t she have a ghost in her heart?

Sun Shaozong silently listed her as the first suspect, and immediately put his hand into the bathtub and hung it at the level of the red scar, and then tapped the corpse on the ground with his chin, saying, “With such a rich body of Shi Lang Ge. , If there is so much bath water in the tub, guess what will happen when he goes in?”

“It will overflow!”

Zhao Wuwei was the first to answer: “Don’t say it’s Lord Shilang, even if you are a small one, go in and take a dip, I’m afraid a lot of water will overflow.”

“That’s right!”

Sun Shaozong spread his hands and shrugged at Concubine Zhang: “The servants of your house should not be so negligent, right? So this layer of traces must be left after the murderer soaked in!”

This time, Aunt Zhang finally had no words, so she had to retreat to the back of the people angrily.

Sun Shaozong raised two more fingers and said: “In addition to covering up the traces of bathing, his other purpose is to make the scene more chaotic and terrifying, so that others can completely ignore his tricks!”

“Blindfolding?”

Jia Yucun is indeed the one with the highest double business among the people present. Hearing this, he suddenly pointed out the crux of the matter: “Brother, does it mean that the murderer did not disappear from the room at all? What did he use? The trick, hidden from everyone’s eyes?!”

“That’s right!”

Sun Shaozong paced back and forth, and said firmly: “The murderer was naked first, stabbed Shi Lang to death with a sharp weapon, cut his heart out, made him look like he was killed by a tengu, and washed it in the bathtub. Covered in blood, then getting dressed…”

He paused and pointed at the door abruptly: “Hide behind the door and learn to bark, and when someone breaks through the door, then sneak in silently!”

Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, everyone in the room was in an uproar!

“This…how is this possible?!”

“Yeah, if someone is hiding behind the door, how can we not see it?!”

Even Jia Yucun, who had just come up with a hypothesis, shook his head at this moment. He only thought that what Sun Shaozong said was as absurd and bizarre as the Arabian Nights.

ah~

For a group of people who haven’t watched “Youth Bao Qingtian”, it is still difficult to understand the essence of this plan.

Fortunately, he was already prepared!

“Everyone!”

Sun Shaozong raised the volume and asked in a loud voice, “Have you not found out that there is actually a person in the room who shouldn’t exist, but got in halfway?”

Everyone was stunned again when they heard the words. You look at me and I look at you, but I really can’t see who is someone who ‘should not exist’.

In the end, a thin and thin servant took the initiative to stand up, leaned in front of Brother Ge Xiaorui, bowed his waist and said with a smirk: “Masters, the little one is the one who came in halfway—because when he smashed the door and came in, the little one didn’t agree with him. I wasn’t there, so I wasn’t called by the Shuntian manor to question him.”

After speaking, he pointed to Zhou Da again and said, “It wasn’t until just now that this official called Xiao Xiao to come over, and then let Xiao quietly sneak into the house…”

“how can that be?!”

Before he could finish speaking, the old butler of Shi Lang’s Mansion shook his head: “Liu Rui, you are the master’s personal servant, how could you not be there when the door was smashed?!”

“This……”

That Liu Rui was waiting to explain, but the two familiar servants next to him had suddenly realized, and rushed to say: “Old housekeeper, Brother Liu was really not there at the time! Because he had a stomach upset in the middle of the night, he squatted in the hut for half an hour. , just missed it!”

When everyone heard the words, there was another uproar. They felt incredible, but they had to believe it.

“Everyone should understand by now, right?”

Sun Shaozong’s eagle-eyed eyes swept over the people in Ge’s residence one by one, and finally sneered: “The real murderer who killed Shilang Ge is among you!”
