Volume 6: Jinguan and Heroes meet for the first time, and Jiangnan's charming girl walks together Volume 6 Chapter 5: Strange Murder Case

For some reason, in the dark, Sheng Yujin felt that this family massacre was not as simple as it seemed, and the "Young Master Jiang" mentioned by people aroused his strong curiosity. He even had to use this secret worth 200 taels to find out what he had saved.

"Well... this is a coincidence. Now in Jinguan City, only Lu happens to know all the truth. Because there are too many involved, the storytellers in the restaurant cannot get the whole picture. Since Young Master Sheng is so curious, Lu has to tell the inside story. However, Young Master Sheng wants to agree and remember not to spread it everywhere."

Sheng Yujin nodded.

At this time, the storyteller upstairs also spoke slowly, and upstairs and downstairs, he also talked about the story of the young master Jiang's cleverly destroying the family case-

Time went back three days ago, this was at the Si Shen Doctor's Mansion, who had just suffered a massacre.

Even though the family extermination had been happening for several days, the bloody smell in the courtyard was as hard as those unsuccessful souls who had suffered sudden disasters and could not leave. After the government began to investigate the case, all the servants and servants were not allowed to leave their houses, and the courtyards that were once crowded were empty.

The thirty-five corpses were all relatives of the genius doctor. They are now kept intact and are not allowed to touch and move. A few days after the shocking family case, many people intend to post a list to investigate the case, but after observing here, they all resigned because they had no clue. This made the prefect-the people from the outside talk a lot. This is irrelevant, but the end of this year is the time for the court to take the performance. If they are not dealing with this headless case and are recorded as "ineffective political affairs", their career prospects will be completely ruined.

When the prefect thought of this, he couldn't help but have a cold war. He met the young man in white who had just walked out of the room and asked anxiously:

"How is it, are there any clues?"

This morning, the young man surnamed Jiang revealed the list and came to the Si Shen Doctor's Mansion. However, he did not look at the body first like others. Instead, he pulled the servants to chatter and didn't look at the case at all. If it weren't for the words "juren" written on his official photo, the prefect would have wanted to throw the troublemaker out immediately.

Now, he talked until noon before going to see the corpse. It was already early, and he had just finished the first thirty-four pieces, and the last one was left - Doctor Si's own failure to see it.

Hearing the question from the prefect, Jiang Xiaoshu waved his hand and said to the minor official who recorded the documents beside him:

"You remember—thirty-four dead people died of a sharp blade piercing the throat, and the death time was almost the same. And... well, don't rush to remember the latter, take me to see the body of Doctor Si."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaoshu led the minor official to the room where Doctor Si died - this is a very rare fire floor in the south. When used, the underground water flowed through it. It was extremely warm and heated. It was a patient who was infected with wind and cold and could not bear the cold. On the day of the incident, Doctor Si was assassinated here.

As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Xiaoshu saw the corpse on the couch. The deceased was wearing only one inner robe and lying on his back. It was also a knife in his throat. A very deep, shocking wound was facing Jiang Xiaoshu. The deceased's face was stabbed to pieces and could not recognize his original appearance.

Jiang Xiaoshu frowned and said:

"Is this person the real Doctor Si? Go and call the butler of the Si Mansion."

After a while, the butler of the Sifu was taken here. He only looked at the body tremblingly, then covered his eyes and turned his head:

"That's right, this bunch of half-black and half-white beards and black moles in earlobes. This must be the master, and there are no patients with cold weather recently. Who else would come here to sleep besides the master? Oh, young master, can the villain leave? It's really scary..."

"You go outside and wait." Jiang Xiaoshu nodded, then leaned down and looked at the room carefully.

There was half a bowl of medicinal soup on the table, and many more were sprinkled on the table. It seemed that Dr. Si had drunk it. Jiang Xiaoshu also noticed that Dr. Si's throat was very deep, but there was not much blood. Instead, the flesh and blood on his face was blurred and bloody.

After a moment, he left the fire room.

Walking out of the last room, Jiang Xiaoshu recruited the butler:

"But, go call everyone out and go to the vault together."

"Ah?" The housekeeper was a little surprised. How could the murder case be related to the treasury? He looked at the prefect and was a little at a loss.

The prefect asked:

"Young Master Jiang, why do you want to go to the treasury and call everyone?"

Jiang Xiaoshu said:

"I want to know if there is any stolen property in the family of Doctor Si Shen, and use this to determine the motive of the murderer. If you call everyone, it will be of other use and will explain it to the adults later."

The prefect nodded reluctantly, the housekeeper took the order and left, and the remaining few people went to the treasury together.

"Cry--" The door of the vault slowly opened. In response to Jiang Xiaoshu's instructions before, more than a hundred servants from the Sifu had gathered at the door of the vault at this moment.

Jiang Xiaoshu waved his hand:

"move!"

Seeing the magistrate nodding, the yamen runners on the side entered the vault and moved out all the silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry. The housekeeper and the documents on the side took the account book to reconcile the accounts together.

The medical skills of the genius doctor Si are well-known in Bashu. As expected, the vault is almost full of wealth sent by patients. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver. Even the prefect saw the boxes of treasures moved out of the vault, and his mouth opened slightly, as if he was about to fall down the next second...

Jiang Xiaoshu quietly watched boxes of wealth and goods being moved out, and his heart was calm. He looked around with his eyes faintly and found that the expressions of the servants around him were mostly the same as those of the prefect, except for one of the servants with bandages on his right arm, although he was also staring at the pile of wealth and goods, he frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

As a low-class servant Xiaowu, Jiang Xiaoshu secretly remembered his name.

After one stick of incense, the property was counted, not only could it be settled, but it even had a lot more. It seemed that the vault had not been stolen.

After dismissing everyone, Jiang Xiaoshu ordered the butler to take him to the place where Doctor Si's daily consultation was conducted.

The desktop of the clinic room was a little messy, with all kinds of bottles and jars, and some were even scattered on the ground. Looking around, Jiang Xiaoshu saw that the walls on the clinic room were almost covered with banners of patients, and in the middle was a portrait.
