Five days later, after receiving the news, Xia Song rushed back to Bianliang from Bazhou angrily. When he learned the specific situation, he almost fainted. Xia Song urgently asked Wen Yanbo, the Quan Zhi of Kaifeng Prefecture, to inquire, but did not get any valuable information.
An angry Xia Song cursed Wen Yanbo for his incompetence.
Wen Yanbo was also aggrieved. Quan knew that there had never been so many big cases in Kaifeng Mansion in the past two years as this year, and each one was more bizarre and bigger than the other. What was even weirder was that most of them were related to this deputy privy envoy.
, tragedies always happened in his house, and dozens of people died at one time.
Facing Xia Song's scolding, Wen Yanbo could only accept it. After Xia Song vented his anger, he explained the progress of the case to Xia Song one by one.
Xia Song had no intention of listening to him. The old house in Sock Alley was in a mess. Although it had been cleaned up, the dried blood splattered everywhere showed that there had been a fierce fight to the death that night. There were nearly 60 people nursing the home.
No one survived, Yan San and other nearly twenty people all died in the house. There was a gloomy atmosphere lingering in the whole house all day long. Not to mention the surviving servants, even Xia Song himself did not dare to go there.
Lived in the old house.
This was not what annoyed Xia Song. What made Xia Song most angry was that Xia Siling was nowhere to be found. When he asked the surviving servants, they said that Xia Siling was taken away by a group of men in black. If he asked further questions, they could not find out the reason.
.
Rumors gradually spread on the streets, saying that Xia Siling, a daughter of the Xia family, was kidnapped by bandits and became the wife of the village. Xia Song was even more ashamed after hearing these rumors. It would be fine if Xia Siling died, but she didn't see anyone alive.
The corpse, the daughter of the dignified deputy privy envoy of the Song Dynasty was kidnapped by bandits and raped and humiliated, leaving his old face nowhere to be seen.
On the surface, all the officials in the court expressed comfort, but privately there were many people who were gloating about his misfortune.
He seemed to be concerned about the progress of the case, but the excited light of schadenfreude in his eyes could not be concealed.
Xia Song couldn't face it and chose to take leave to recuperate. Zhao Zhen sympathized with Xia Song's experience and refused to ask for leave. He also personally ordered a strict investigation of the murderer and gave Deputy Xia an explanation.
Xia Song temporarily moved to a farm outside the city. He didn't want to live outside the city, but the three villas in Bianliang City seemed unsafe. The villa on Junyi Bridge Street had only been settled by him a few months ago.
The maidservant Little Button was hanged there. It was said that ghosts were often heard crying at night. Although Xia Song didn't believe it, he didn't have to go and experience it. Yuzhang Tower was also the place where the tragedy happened. More than 20 people died there, so Xia Song was naturally more worried.
It was impossible to live there, and the situation in the old house was even more outrageous. Eighty or ninety people died in one fell swoop, and the whole house was almost turned into a haunted house. Not to mention inhabited, even walking in in broad daylight would make one's hair stand on end.
Xia Song was about to cry but had no tears. How could he end up in this situation in just a few months? His nephew died, his daughter disappeared, and he didn't even dare to live in the house. What evil had he done? Could there really be a ghost at work?
?I have killed many people in the past. Did the ghosts of these people haunt me and impose bad luck curses on me one after another?
After calming down, Xia Song did not believe this evil, so he began to slowly clear up the clues. He ordered Wen Yanbo to send all the files from Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case, and slowly searched for clues. At the same time, he also sent the surviving servants and maids that night.
They were called one by one to inquire.
The servants said that in the evening, a heavy rain poured down. After everyone had dinner, they went back to their rooms, but suddenly there was the sound of fighting outside. According to Xiao Dengzi, the coachman, he dared to sneak out to take a look, only to see something in the front yard.
The newly hired head of the nursing home, Yan San, led a group of people to get involved with the nursing home led by Zhang Heizi from the mansion. Xiao Dengzi originally thought they were competing to compete in martial arts, but when he saw with his own eyes that Yan San's men killed several people in a row,
Little Dengzi was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.
Xia Song was startled and asked: "Then why don't you go out and report to the official immediately?"
Xiao Dengzi said: "I thought so too, but as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw three men holding the door with knives and holding the door menacingly. I knew I couldn't get out, so I could only find a place to hide."
Xia Song nodded, dismissed Xiao Dengzi, and called the two concubines who were in the house that night for questioning. When the two concubines mentioned the situation that night, they started sobbing and crying, which made Xia Song upset.
Confused, he shouted to stop, and then he asked for some clues.
Cuifang, the concubine in the eighth room, sobbed and said: "After the fighting started that night, I wanted to run away through the door, but the courtyard outside was where the fighting was going on. It would be dangerous to go out, so I asked the seventh sister what happened.
Well, Seventh Sister said it would be better to hide in the house. Maybe the two gangs had a falling out in order to compete for the master's favor, and they might not hurt me. But who would have expected that the group from the outer house suddenly broke into the inner house,
Then... then... woo woo woo."
Xia Song's heart felt cold, knowing that the bodies of these two concubines must have been defiled by Yan San and his gang. These two people were serious, so he casually dismissed them after a few days, but now he still needed to coax them to explain the situation.
Holding back the annoyance in his heart, he said a few words of comfort and asked, "What happened next?"
"Later... later..." The concubine Cuifang kept sobbing.
Xia Song shouted sharply: "Speak quickly, why are you hesitating?"
Cuifang was startled and said quickly: "Then another group of people came. After they entered the room, they started fighting with Yan San's men. There were more of them than Yan San's men. In the end, they were all killed.
Already."
Xia Song frowned and said, "Have you seen their faces clearly? What does the leader look like? Is he a fair and handsome young man?"
Both concubines shook their heads and said: "It doesn't seem so. We were so scared at the time. It was also dark at the time and we couldn't see clearly at all."
Xia Song waved his hands and said, "You guys go down and have a rest."
Cuifang refused to leave and said: "Master, my savings in the past few years have been robbed by them. Master, you have to make the decision for us."
Xia Song shouted angrily: "Get out!"
Xia Song summoned the people around Xia Siling to inquire, and the situation that night gradually became clearer.
First of all, it is certain that Yan San and others must have fallen out with Zhang Heizi and others that day. Judging from the behavior of Yan San's men, Yan San must have felt that things were going wrong after killing Zhang Heizi and others without stopping.
He couldn't stop it, so he came up with the idea of robbery, rape and sexual intercourse. He was luring a wolf into the house. He knew clearly that this group of people were desperadoes, but in order to retaliate against Su Jin, he actually shot himself in the foot.
The second thing is that there were three groups of people fighting that night. In addition to Yan San, Zhang Heizi and others, there was also a group of mysterious men in black who entered the house and finally killed Yan San and others; from the backyard
Judging from the damage on the iron door, it was obvious that someone had inserted a sharp object into the iron door to use it as a step to climb over the wall to enter the house. Although there were no traces on the outer wall, a thick branch was broken on the big tree against the wall, which is enough to prove that.
at this point.
The third thing is that this group of people seemed to have come prepared, and according to people around Xia Siling, Xia Siling seemed to have followed this group of people in the end. Although everyone was tied up and thrown into the wing, their mouths were gagged.
Her ears could hear, and she had a vague feeling that Xia Siling followed the masked men without any resistance.
The fourth point is the autopsy conclusion provided by the Kaifeng Mansion. Yan San's body had another huge wound on the lower abdomen, just like the face of the person who died in Yuzhang Tower was covered with iron sand. Yan San's
His stomach was also riddled with holes and a large amount of iron sand was driven into it. No need to ask if it was caused by firearms.
Xia Song's scalp was numb. He had already determined that the incident in Yuzhang Tower was caused by Su Jin. Of course, the basis was not the firearm, but the action of rescuing the woman named Rou Niang; and the firearm wound this time was completely different from the last time.
Again, this can only mean that this group of men in black and the culprits of the Yuzhang Tower murder case are the same group of people, and it can only be Su Jin.
This kind of speculation can also explain why Xia Siling followed the group of men in black without any resistance.
Xia Song didn't know whether to hate Su Jin or thank Su Jin. It was obvious that Yan San and his gang had the upper hand that night. Zhang Heizi and others all died in Yan San's hands. Yan San had already brought people in.
The inner house; and Yan San's body was found in Xia Siling's upstairs boudoir. These all indicate that Yan San had evil intentions towards Xia Siling.
If it weren't for the group of people who came later, Xia Siling might not have been able to escape the situation of being tainted; from this point of view, Xia Song was somewhat grateful; but Su Jin was so bold that he invaded his house repeatedly.
Xia Siling was not taken away, but this time he simply took away all the people and money, completely ignoring himself.
Xia Song paced the room with a gloomy face. Now his daughter had run away with Su Jin. He had no evidence to prove that it was Su Jin who took him away. Although he knew it was him, it was all speculation after all, and no one could see clearly that Su Jin had taken him away.
Jin's face; unless Xia Siling is found in Su's house, this mute will continue to swallow his shame.
Moreover, there is still one most urgent thing to do right now, which is that after Yan San died, his appearance was recognized by the arrest department of the Ministry of Punishment. This is the news I just received today.
Yan San was originally a gangster. In the past few years, he had committed many major flower-picking and murder cases in the world. Officials from all over the country were looking for him, but he died in his own house. There were servants who proved that he was the escort he hired.
Courtyard, this matter is really tricky.
After much deliberation, Xia Song decided to investigate the matter of Xia Siling secretly without revealing it, and concentrate on clearing up the matter of Yan San first.
This group was not from our nursing home at all. They broke into the house that night and wanted to commit a crime. They were noticed by Zhang Heizi and others from our own nursing home, and a vicious fight broke out.
Although Xia Song was filled with anger and resentment, after clearing his mind, Xia Song regained his composure. The whole thing was not all bad news. There was also something that made Xia Song happy. That was that Xia Siling was 90% likely to
She is still alive, although it is unworthy, but she is her daughter after all. Being able to know where she is and that she is still alive and well can be regarded as letting go of her worries.
