Chapter 156 Eight Treasures Makeup 10

"The deceased was wearing a coat with mud stains on both sides of his body. In addition to mud stains and green moss on his feet and the hem of his robe, the murderer probably took the deceased outside the rockery. Because the corridor was not high enough, he Someone dragged him in. There are no obvious injuries on the hands, feet or limbs. It is better to take the body back to Yizhuang first, and I will go to Yizhuang for a detailed autopsy."

After Bao Ruoyou finished the initial inspection, Wu Xiang asked people to come in and move Ye Fei's body. She brought a torch over and carefully looked at the surrounding stone walls and the corridors leading in two directions. After comparing them, she found the murderer. Come in from the entrance towards the inner garden.

Bo Ruoyou walked along the corridor and looked into the depths of the Bird Garden. He saw only layers of verdant green, with pavilions and eaves hidden in the background. The sky was still like this during the day. If it had been around midnight last night, It's easier to hide your tracks in it.

As Bao Ruoyou was watching, she suddenly heard a slight cry. She walked around the outside of the rockery and saw a little boy kneeling on the ground crying. Wu Xiang and Zhao Yue were both standing there. beside.

"Last night, Mr. Liu finished his dinner around midnight. When the villain passed by with the food box, he did hear a crisp sound, but it was already very late at that time. When I listened carefully, I didn't hear any other noises. The villain was afraid, so he ran to the kitchen. Uncle Zhang in the kitchen can testify for the villain."

Wu Xiang frowned and said, "What kind of crisp sound is it specifically?"

"It's like...it's like some iron objects collided together..."

Wu Xiang turned around and looked at Bo Ruoyou. She had said that the top of the coffin nails were worn and had been hit by heavy objects. He was convinced and asked, "Did you see any people at that time?"

The boy shook his head, "No, it was windy last night and I could only see the shadows of the trees."

The boy wiped his tears and said, "I really just heard a little noise. When I got to the kitchen, I was so frightened that I couldn't leave my house. Uncle Zhang joked that someone died in the garden, maybe his soul has returned. The villain didn't dare to answer, so he quickly went back to the house to sleep."

Wu Xiang narrowed her eyes and stared at him, "So when you left, Liu Qing was still in the house?"

The boy nodded, "Yes, the young master had already taken a bath and changed clothes to rest. The little man just took the food box and closed the door."

If this is the case, Liu Qing can be excluded. When the young man came out of Liu Qing's yard, it was impossible to tie him up before him and then send him to the rockery cave to kill him.

But if it’s not Liu Qing, who should it be?

There were two tea cups in Yu Xun's house, but Yu Xun did not drink tea the night before. Ye Fei was kidnapped without any struggle, and the murderer's method of killing was even more bizarre.

Wu Xiang thought for a moment and asked the boy next to Ye Fei to be brought over.

There are many servants in the Bird Garden. People such as Liu Qing, Ye Fei and others all have servants who specialize in taking care of their food, clothing, housing and transportation. However, that's all. After all, they are also servants in Zhao Yue's eyes.

Some of the young men who took care of Liu Qing had just entered the garden a year or two ago, while others had entered the garden at a few years old. Each of them had no roots and no bottom, and could be considered innocent. Wu Xiang called him People checked it out, but nothing was found yet.

Soon, the boy who took care of Ye Fei was brought to the front. He had been interrogated earlier, and now his face was pale. When he saw another companion kneeling on the ground with tears on his face, he was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud. On the ground.

Wu Xiang asked: "Is there nothing unusual about Ye Fei last night?"

The young man nodded again, "The young master was very tired and a little uneasy after he came back. However, he had just been interrogated in the prison, so it was normal. He took a shower after eating, then changed his clothes and read a book, and he went to bed after a while. I asked the villain to step back. It was not even the second watch when the villain left. I thought that the young master would take a rest after reading the book for a while."

"When the villain went to wait on the young master in the morning, he found that all the doors of the courtyard were open, but the young master was nowhere to be seen. He felt bad at that time, because it was the same when Mr. He was gone, so the villain went to call People came to see the young master, and when they walked to the edge of Yue Lake, someone found blood stains, and then someone went into the rockery——"

The boy's eyes were filled with fear, and he lowered his head and huddled up, fearing that he would be implicated in this matter.

"What did Ye Fei eat for dinner before you left last night?"

The young man said hurriedly: "Like everyone else, it was just a few side dishes and soup made in the kitchen. The young master had a poor appetite, so he only drank a bowl of chicken soup and a few mouthfuls of corn rice."

Wu Xiang looked at Hou Yang, who nodded and went to the kitchen. Wu Xiang looked towards the lake again. At this time, Bao Ruoyou also walked towards the north entrance, walked up to it, and then walked towards the lake. After a few steps, the blood stains from the boy's mouth fell on the stone steps by the lake. Go down the stone steps and walk all the way into the lake. Bo Ruoyou looked at it for a moment and suddenly said: "Capture the head, the murderer only needs to be arrested." Afraid of throwing heavy objects like hammers into the lake."

The murderer entered and exited from the north entrance. After exiting, he did not leave. Instead, he turned and walked towards the lake. Was he going to clean his hands? Or discard the murder weapon?

Wu Xiang immediately found someone who knew how to use water and went to the lake to touch it. Bo Ruoyou looked around again and found that there was no other trace except a little blood stain on the lakeside, so he temporarily left the Bird Garden and went to Yizhuang. Go to the autopsy.

Wu Xiang stayed in the garden and continued to investigate. At this time, a middle-aged man with a dark complexion was brought over.

"The villain Wu Yang, who is also the master of animal training in the garden, pays homage to the head catcher."

Wu Xiang asked him with fixed eyes: "Are you in charge of all the blood sparrows in the garden?"

Wu Yang nodded, "There are now forty-seven top-quality blood sparrows in the garden."

"The strangled and crucified blood sparrows discovered earlier are the best in the park?"

Wu Yang wiped the cold sweat on his face, "Yes, after the discovery of the first hanging bird, for fear of being punished by the county king, the villain and the steward hid the matter. The best in the garden There are many birds and beasts. Although the blood sparrow is loved by the prince, there are so many that the prince will not count them when he is watching them. The villain also helps the prince look for the best birds, thinking about buying them next time. At that time, if you buy two more blood sparrows and come back -"

"Two blood sparrows?" Wu Xiang keenly caught the mistake in Wu Yang's words.

When he asked this question, the cold sweat on Wu Yang's forehead became even worse, "Because before this, another blood sparrow died unexpectedly——"

Wu Xiang felt uneasy in his heart, "Die in an accident?"

"There are many birds of all kinds in the bird garden, and they have been raised for a long time. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is human nature, but they are fed with good food and water. They all regard the garden as their home, but occasionally there are those who feed it. Those who are not familiar with it will fly out and never come back when the people below are not taking good care of them. More than twenty days ago, when the villain counted the blood birds, he found that one was missing. At that time, he also had the idea of ​​​​hiding it first, but later, the villain People discovered that the blood bird did not fly out, but drowned in the water tank in the bird garden."

Drown in a water tank!

Wu Xiang was shocked when he heard this. When he thought of Jiang Xing's death, a terrible thought suddenly came to his mind.

Wu Yang glanced at Zhao Yue in the distance, "This kind of accident shouldn't have happened, but if the people below were negligent and forgot to add water, and the blood bird flew out of the cage to drink water from the water tank, it would be possible. If they fall into it and drown, the prince is willing to spend money on birds, especially those that have been carefully fed for a long time. If something goes wrong, the villain will be punished and lose half of his life, so the villain dares to hide it from the prince. "

This place is already deep in the bird garden, and the chirping sounds can be heard in the distance, but there is no shadow of a bird in the sky. Wu Xiang tensed his mind and asked: "The bird garden is close." How many people are there in total? But they can come and go at will?"

Wu Yang said hurriedly, "There are about twenty people who come in every day, some sweep and clean the cages, some domesticate them, and some specialize in feeding water. Not everyone can come in and out at will. They can only enter the bird park. People can come in and out."

The murderer used the murder of the blood sparrow as a foreshadowing. Although it was weird and horrifying, it was easy to leave clues. Wu Xiang asked again: "Did the drowned blood sparrow happen before or after Jiang Xing's death?"

Wu Yang couldn't remember clearly, but when asked by Wu Xiang, he immediately said: "Before."

Wu Xiang gritted his teeth and said, "Lead the way, I want to go to the bird park to visit."

The Bird Garden has green flowers, grass and trees, but the Bird Garden and the Animal Garden exist independently, so it is even more spacious. Walk along the path to the northwest, and soon you will see the pavilions and corridors built among the trees. , cages hung one by one on the corridor, containing birds of various sizes and colors. Most of the chirping sounds they heard by the lake came from here.

"During the day, the birdcage will be hung out. At night, or when the weather is bad, the birdcage will be put in. The well-tamed finches will occasionally be put into the forest in front to let themselves Playing in the woods."

Further north from the corridor, there is a small area of ​​extremely lush woods. At first glance, it is clear that the sun is high in the sky, but it makes people feel that it is shrouded in haze. As Wu Xiang got closer, he could see that the forest was Above, there was a huge net covering the sky as if blocking out the sun. Wu Xiang was a little stunned for a moment. Further into the woods, there was a pond surrounded by fences, which contained mandarin ducks, white cranes, and several large or small species. Birds that love water.

On the east side of the pond, a garden surrounded by high walls appeared. This is the bird garden.

"All the birds and the food and water used by the birds are inside it. The cage is put back inside, the door will be closed, and other people will not come here if they have nothing to do on weekdays——"

Wu Yang said as he walked, Wu Xiang listened, but felt that the forest was not very safe, because the corridors were connected in all directions, and the nets surrounding the forest were easily destroyed.

Wu Yang listened and said: "It would be very difficult for someone to steal a bird. After being tamed, the bird will obey the whistle and recognize the smell of the water used in the garden. But if an ordinary person even Even if you go into the forest, you won’t be able to catch any birds.”

Wu Yang seemed to want to show Wu Xiang something. He whistled softly, which immediately caused the birds around him to chirp even more happily. His whistle was similar to the song of birds, but it seemed that he could really communicate with the birds. The son speaks normally.

Wu Xiang was greatly amazed and entered the bird garden with Wu Yang. As soon as he entered the door, Wu Xiang saw several large water tanks placed in the northwest corner of the huge courtyard. The water tanks were placed under the shack and covered with dustpans. , Wu Xiang pointed to that place, "Where did the first blood sparrow drown?"

Wu Yang should be, Wu Xiang walked towards the water tank while watching.

There are houses and pavilions in this garden, as well as many shanties. There are also large and small birdcages on the beams on the ground. There is also a vague smell of bird droppings. Wu Xiang frowned and stepped forward. I saw the dustpan covered on the water tank and asked, "Do you usually cover the dustpan?"

Wu Yang nodded, "This water can't get dirty, it's all covered."

Wu Xiang thought for a while and glanced at Wu Yang thoughtfully, "The blood bird drowned in the water tank. You think it's simple, but the water tank is covered and the birdcage will not be opened easily. , it is simply impossible for birds to come to drink water and fall into it and drown."

Wu Yang said in fear: "I don't know how to catch the head, the county king is strict, and the little people just want to turn big things into small things."

Wu Xiang grabbed the knife at his side and asked, "Where was Jiang Xing buried after his death?"
