"Who was the girl who served Mr. He last night?" Hang Tianyi asked. This is very important. It is abnormal for He Yi to leave his companions and stay for him.
The Madam's eyes turned red when she heard Hang Tianyi's words.
Hang Tianyi was stunned for a moment. Is this... a true reveal of his feelings?
"What's wrong?" Hang Tianyi was really confused.
"The one who dressed Mr. He last night was Miss Xiaocui, but Xiaocui...is also dead!" said the old bustard.
When Hang Tianyi heard this, his expression was slightly complicated.
It was clear that two people died in this case, but the only one who spread the news was He Yi.
This is the difference between people with status and the common people at the bottom.
Indeed, no one would pay attention to a low-level person like Xiao Cui.
If He Yi hadn't been involved, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be a single person to report the crime after his death.
No matter which side of the world, the people at the lowest level indeed have the hardest life.
"Is Xiaocui new here?" Hang Tianyi asked.
The old madam nodded: "She is indeed new here. She is beautiful and gentle. Mr. He spent five thousand taels on her first night. I didn't expect..."
"Huh?" Hang Tianyi captured the key information, and then he continued to ask: "Did Mr. He have any conflicts with anyone last night?"
"Who is Mr. He? Who dares to conflict with him?" The old madam was a little angry. It was obvious that Mr. He was very domineering last night.
"Do you know Xiaocui's identity?" Hang Tianyi asked again.
"I don't know very well. I just know that I came from Shuzhou and my family was in decline..." The old bustard hesitated a little when he said this.
Hang Tianyi understood that she must have bought it.
Some of the transactions in brothels are shady.
Many girls are forced to do so, and gradually they have no choice but to accept their fate and surrender.
What Hang Tianyi really sympathizes with is the girl here, not the Madam.
If this is really the case, then there must be a lot of fishiness going on.
Judging from the information he had, there were two most likely possibilities for He Yi's death. One was a dispute in the court, and someone wanted to show He Jingzhi's shame.
The other one is seeking revenge. As for whether this enemy is caused by Xiao Cui or He Yi himself, it's hard to say.
These two possibilities are extremely likely, but they are not necessarily either of them.
When Hang Tianyi investigates cases, he always makes bold assumptions and carefully verifies them.
In the process of verification, if new discoveries are made, many times the previous assumptions will be overturned.
At the time of questioning, Hang Tianyi and others had already arrived at the crime scene.
This is Xiaocui's house. Before entering, I smelled the smell of blood.
Hang Tianyi's mind was moved. Could it be that He Yi was killed with some sharp weapon? And the smell of blood seemed a little abnormal.
Entering the room, Hang Tianyi was completely stunned. He had never seen such a strange way to die.
At this moment, all I could see was that Xiao Cui and He Yi were stacked on the bed, one on top and the other on the bottom.
The one on top is He Yi, the one below is Xiao Cui, and their bodies were directly penetrated by a long sword.
Hang Tianyi felt that it was really annoying. How perverted was this murderer? He killed people while they were... doing things.
Moreover, it kills two birds with one stone. It really feels like living and dying together.
Thinking of the scene in Mingfeng Tower where Ye Zhenzhen was killed by Gu Yuanci, it was definitely not as impactful as this one.
Hang Tianyi could only shake his head and smile bitterly at this time. How come he, Hang Baotou, always sees such messy scenes?
Liu Ying was still a straight man who had never seen anything before. He would not go to a brothel or anything like that. Seeing such a scene, he immediately blushed.
The old bustard, on the other hand, didn't care about anything and was very prickly.
It is estimated that she has become numb after seeing this every day.
"Hang Baotou, everything is out of the way!" the old bustard pleaded.
Hang Tianyi coughed dryly: "Don't worry, it's our duty to investigate the case!"
Because of Hang Tianyi's reputation, the madam must have trusted him. She was standing by the door, ready to listen to Hang Tianyi's orders.
Hang Tianyi didn't want to embarrass his little brother Liu Ying. At this time, he could clearly feel that his breathing was rapid.
It’s really easy to get angry if you watch this scene too much.
Hang Tianyi used Taiqing Wuwei Sutra to suppress the scurrying evil fire, then stepped forward and carefully inspected his wounds.
In front of the bed, a sword scabbard was found. Preliminary observation showed that it was the sword inserted into the two men.
The scabbard is thrown on the ground. In such a scene, does this belong to Xiao Cui?
Killing the enemy with the enemy's sword and dying like this is indeed cruel enough. Hang Tianyi's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Then, Hang Tianyi began to check the wound. He reluctantly moved the two of them, but saw He Yi's face full of surprise. On the contrary, Xiao Cui's face was more peaceful.
Being killed at the same time, such opposite expressions really made Hang Tianyi curious. Did they see the face of the murderer in front of them?
"Maybe... no!" Hang Tianyi could only guess this way,
After checking again, there was no sound. An autopsy must be carried out next, because Hang Tianyi suspected that the two people were likely to have signs of poisoning.
The blood is bright red, but the smell of blood is very strange.
If Hang Tianyi's Yuanshen power had not increased, he would not have been able to discover these subtle things.
"Can Xiaocui know how to dance with a sword?" Hang Tianyi walked to the old bustard and asked suddenly.
Although the scene in this house was destroyed by Jiang Tong, Hang Tianyi checked and found that the doors and windows were intact and closed, basically ruling out the murderer's silent intrusion from the outside.
"Hang Baotou is really awesome, you can even tell from this! Yes, Xiaocui can indeed sword dance, and she is very good at it. It is because of her good sword dance that Mr. He is willing to spend a lot of money!" said the old bustard.
Hang Tianyi nodded. If he knew how to dance with swords, he should have some cultivation skills. In this case, being sold here is worth discussing.
But the Madam's expression just now showed that she was not lying, which was really weird.
"How did eldest brother see it?" Liu Ying asked.
Hang Tianyi said: "The sword that killed them should be Xiaocui's, because if the scabbard that fell on the ground was the murderer's sword, he would not have been so careless as to leave both the scabbard and the long sword here!"
Liu Ying nodded. At these points, his thoughts didn't move as fast as Hang Tianyi's!
"How did the murderer get in?" Liu Ying was also observing the environment inside the house just now, but he didn't see anything strange.
Hang Tianyi shook his head: "I'm afraid this is another secret room murder!"
The concept of "secret room murder" was discussed by Hang Tianyi and Liu Ying last time when Ye Zhenzhen was killed in Mingfeng Tower.
At that moment he said: "Brother said that nothing in this world is perfect without flaws. We must have not found it yet!"
