Chapter 334 Roasted Pepper Preserved Egg (4)

Liu Sanqing, who goes to and from the mines and fights with others for rough stones, is not weak. On the contrary, he is the beggar who committed the crime. Looking at the trembling appearance of him being held there by the guards of Jingzhao Mansion, how could it be possible?

Liu Sanqing’s opponent?

The murder weapon was a long knife with a missing mouth. The wound caused by such a murder weapon is difficult to imitate. At this time, it was thrown next to Liu Sanqing's body. Wu Bucai, who followed over, carefully checked the wound and nodded to indicate that the murder weapon was indeed

It's this knife.

Liu Yuan squatted down, picked up the long knife with a chip and weighed it in his hand: This long knife is very light, and its style is very common. Among the finished long knives in the blacksmith shop on the street, it is the best-selling one.

It's this kind of long knife.

It's not because this long knife is so good, it's because the materials used for this long knife are "spared", so it's sold cheaply.

For most families who hire servants to protect them, the reason "cheap" is enough.

The guards who guard homes and courtyards are mostly used to intimidate ordinary people. They mostly catch one or two petty thieves and local gangsters. When catching such people, most of the time, there is no need to use a knife, because it may not be possible all year round.

If you need to use the knife once or twice, naturally choose the cheapest one, and you won’t feel bad if you throw it away.

The knife in front of me must be a long knife with a gaping hole that was thrown away by others. The beggar picked it up and used it for self-defense.

"I've asked about it. Liu Sanqing went to drink flower wine last night. He drank a few more glasses and left the brothel drunk in the middle of the night. When he passed by, the beggar recognized him." The officer glanced at the side and said haggardly,

The numb beggar said, "Look at Liu Sanqing wearing gold and silver, living a good life, but he only begged for a steamed bun all day yesterday, and the hatred for many years suddenly came to his head."

"Liu Sanqing was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily. He didn't bring any of his guards with him. He didn't resist at all and was chopped down to the ground by him." When the officer said this, he couldn't help but shake his head.

With this chop, how can you contain the hatred?"

"I was slashed many times, and I don't know at what time Liu Sanqing was stabbed to death." The officer said, "It wasn't until he completely lost strength and fell to the ground that he came back to his senses. He sat there and didn't move again.

," As he said that, the guard couldn't help but look at the beggar again. Seeing the beggar's numb look, he couldn't tell whether it was sympathy, disgust, or some other emotion. He just felt mixed emotions in his heart, and it was complicated and tight.

After a pause, he continued, "When someone passed by at dawn, he asked someone to help watch the scene, and then he surrendered."

Of course, whether it is true or not remains to be determined again by these investigations. He is just a co-worker, responsible for the autopsy.

After listening to what Wu Bucai said, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu fell silent again. The condition of this beggar... is indeed difficult to deal with.

"More than that, although the knife marks are a bit messy, judging from the distribution position, they match his height, so he is most likely the real murderer." Wu Bucai said.

After a pause, without waiting for Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan to ask, Wu Bucai pointed to the stab wounds and said: "The murderer did not strike deeply and did not have much strength. This is consistent with his condition."

This sound... Liu Yuandong and Bai Zhu were startled. They turned around and looked over. They saw Zhao You shouting "Give way" to get rid of the crowd, followed by Lin Fei walking in from outside the crowd.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Yuan immediately said: "What if he is not the murderer but just someone who takes the blame? He..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Bucai, who was squatting next to the corpse, interrupted Liu Yuan's words: "Judging from the stab wounds on the surface of the corpse, the murderer is most likely him, and it is not easy for others to imitate him."

At this moment, a voice was heard from not far away: "The place where you usually beg is in the suburbs of the city. The officers and soldiers there will not easily expel you unless they have to, so a large number of beggars and refugees have gathered. But

How come you are here today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the beggar, who had his head drooped and a numb expression, suddenly laughed out loud. After laughing twice, he said: "Sir, not to mention that I surrendered after the murder. According to Da Rong,

According to the law, I cannot escape the death penalty, so I say that my time is running out, what good can I do to get me back from the Lord of Hell?"

It's just that the timing of Liu Sanqing's death was too coincidental. He died suddenly while the case was being investigated, just like that steward. It was too coincidental.

Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan couldn't help being stunned when they heard this. The officer who spoke first nodded and said: "I asked the doctor, it's so right. He has been begging like this for many years, and his body can no longer bear it. Besides, after killing someone,

At that time, no one saw him. If he wanted to escape, he might not be able to escape. There was no need to sit there and wait for people to pass by."

At this point, the officer of Jingzhao Mansion also nodded and said: "I have asked people who know him, and it is indeed so right."

Bai Zhu and Liu Yuan fell silent. They looked at Liu Sanqing who was lying on the ground with knife marks all over his body. After thinking for a while, they turned to the beggar who looked numb. Bai Zhu said: "You are half-clothed now."

He was in poor health and had no food to eat. It was a time when life was difficult. This Liu Sanqing was most likely related to the case I was waiting to investigate. His sudden death really makes people wonder if someone was afraid that he would talk too much. How many enemies have you made with him?

For ten years, I have not killed him sooner or later, but if I kill Liu Sanqing at this time, there is no guarantee that we will not have to worry about whether someone instructed you to do this and what benefits were promised."

"And these knife wounds, from the perspective of cutting in and out, should be left-handed," Wu Bucai said, pointing to the beggar's hand, "Looking at the calluses on his hands, you can tell that he is left-handed.

.”

As for the family of this beggar... the officer of Jingzhao Mansion shook his head and said: "Back then, his wife separated and his child died of illness. Although his wife remarried, she died a few years ago. Even the relatives who made trouble for him back then were all

He passed away one after another, and now there is really nothing that can be done about this person."

The officer from Jingzhao Mansion explained the whole thing very clearly, and smoothed out the causes and consequences, but for a while he couldn't find the problem.

After raising his hand and saluting "Lin Shaoqing", Liu Yuan, who was reminded, immediately turned to look at the beggar: "Lin Shaoqing is right, this place is less than a moment away from Jingzhao Mansion. You have been begging for many years."

, how could you not know that the closer you are to the government, the easier it is to run into guards or soldiers, and the easier it is to be expelled?"

Begging is not allowed on all the avenues in Chang'an City. Once the officers or soldiers see beggars begging on the main roads, they will be driven away.

This place... I glanced at the wide road and saw no beggars in sight. Obviously, they knew this rule.

It may be true that Liu Sanqing died at his hands, but it was definitely not an accidental encounter. This beggar lied.
