He did not go to the west wing first. The real owner had already obtained it and could not escape. The next interrogation was the key.
An old Jianghu like Liu Zhen, who has been in Jinyiwei for many years, can find out something with just a few words or a few sticks. Jianghu people have no special abilities. Firstly, they can endure hardship, and secondly, they have learned how to talk to people.
He has the ability to tell lies even after being tortured. Even if he is tortured, he will still tell the truth.
If you want to ask questions, you must first know his life background, or at least understand his current situation, so that you can make a clear target.
Judging from his arrangement, it was obvious that Liu Zheng was on guard, but this guard was not necessarily against his own side.
Walking into the main room, everything was as usual in the bright room, except that there was a charcoal stove on the floor, stewing a sauce, and the strong smell of medicine filled the air.
The smell of the medicine was pungent. Min Zhanlian traveled around the world and had a rough understanding of the properties of medicine. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that this was not a combination of red medicine for knife wounds. Could it be that Zhou Ruolan's judgment was wrong?
His men were already waiting at the door of the east room. When they saw him coming, they immediately raised the curtain and whispered: "Someone is dead inside!"
Min Zhanlian nodded slightly, and the Australian oil lamp was lit inside, shining brightly. The tables and chairs inside were messy, and it looked like they had been cleaned up hastily. There were obvious scars on some of the furniture, especially the bed on the floor.
, the bed frieze was actually chipped. The bed curtain hanging on the shelf was also missing a few pieces.
There were shockingly large blood stains sprayed on the walls. Although the bed had been wiped and the bedding changed, you could still see bits and pieces of residue on the shelves.
Judging from the large amount of ashes scattered on the ground, it seems that a lot of it was also splashed on the ground.
The incense burner on the table was burning incense, and the medicinal incense was mixed with the incense. The smell was extremely pungent, but it still could not hide the smell of blood inside.
"Where's the body?"
"In the box." His subordinates opened a large official box, and inside there was a twisted male torso with a lot of ashes scattered on his body.
"That's the person who came yesterday." His subordinate whispered.
They knew nothing about why this man came and why he was killed. If they wanted to pry open Liu Zheng's mouth, they had to know the secret. He immediately said: "Get him out!"
At this time, the body was already stiff. With great difficulty, several people took the body with a strange posture out of the box and placed it on the ground. Zhou Ruolan came in, examined it carefully under the light, and whispered: "This person's
There were two wounds, one on the lower back and one on the neck. The fatal injury was in the neck, where a major artery was severed."
"No wonder there is so much blood sprayed here!"
She then carefully examined the body's hands, feet, and the skin of the wounds: "Originally, I probably wanted to kill him with a knife on the waist straight to the kidney, but the stab was crooked and failed to kill him. The deceased resisted desperately - there were scars on his hands and arms.
.”
The clothes were full of bloodstains. Judging from the clothes and appearance of the deceased, he was the long-term attendant of a wealthy family.
After rummaging around for a while, there was nothing found. Obviously, Liu Wei had already searched it.
"Team leader, look at this." The team member searching the room took out the remains of a book protector that had been mostly burned from the brazier on the ground.
The protector's book is an item that must be brought along with everyone, and it contains the owner's greetings or important documents. Each family's protector's book is different, and Liu Sha was eager to destroy it, obviously to conceal the identity of the deceased.
"What can you tell from this book protector?" He handed the remains to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu flipped through the pages casually and said: "It is used by wealthy families in the capital. And it is used by people who are high-ranking officials. The materials used to protect the books are exquisite, but they must be subtle and unobtrusive." After saying this, he took out a few burnt leftovers from it.
He looked at the plum red piece of paper under the paper, "The paper for the greeting card is also exquisite. One look at the pattern can tell you that it is from Songyunxuan Nan Paper Shop in the capital. The products from this family are not used by high-ranking officials." He looked at it carefully.
Yes, he sighed, "It's a pity that there are only a few scraps of paper left and no words at all."
This person came into the house, and he was obviously someone Liu Wei knew. He came to Liu Wei with some important mission. The two secretly discussed here, and for some unknown reason, a conflict arose, and Liu Wei became murderous. However, he failed to kill him with one blow.
Life.
Now that the person is dead, Liu Wei was also injured. The lime was purchased to deal with the aftermath. It all makes sense together. I just don’t know who this person is, but judging from his identity, it is likely that he is Liu Wei and someone from the upper level.
contact person.
It's a pity that his identity is unknown, otherwise it would be an important clue. However, Liu Zheng is still alive.
Walking into the west wing, I saw a middle-aged man leaning on the couch. The quilt was lifted, his upper body was naked, and there were straps tied across his shoulders and chest. There was faint blood oozing out. His face was sluggish, and his hands and feet had been imprisoned.
Tie tightly.
Next to the bed was a charming woman with her hands tied and blindfolded. There were many large and small medicine bottles and boxes scattered on the table.
"The injury is not serious, it's just a cut to the muscle. His arm can't move now," the subordinate reported.
Min Zhanlian nodded and motioned to his men to take the woman out.
"Liu Zheng?" he asked.
"That's right." Liu Wei said in horror. Yesterday's incident has not yet been resolved, but today he suddenly encountered evil stars. A few days ago, he had noticed that there seemed to be eyeliners around him, and for the sake of safety, he was ready to get up and go back to the capital for temporary refuge.
.I never thought there would be such a big change!
The other party comes prepared, and you can't pretend to be confused.
Min Zhanlian sat down, and Zhou Ruolan immediately moved the round stool under him. The two of them moved like flowing water. Liu Wei secretly complained in his heart.
Judging from the demeanor of this young man, it is obvious that he has a good background. He is definitely not an ordinary person in the world.
"I wonder what I can learn from a hero when he comes to visit." Liu Zheng managed to calm down and said, "If I don't have a few expenses, I have traveled around the country for many years, watching the wind and fortune, predicting the good and bad luck of people, and I have also made a lot of money. The hero will take it too.
Just go."
Min Zhanlian smiled: "Let me tell you how much money you have."
"This..." Liu Wei thought very quickly and said immediately, "There are more than four hundred taels of silver here, and some jewelry items, which are also worth a hundred and ten taels. Just take them all."
"Not enough." Min Zhanlian shook his head and said, "Too little."
"This..." Liu Zheng's face turned green and white. He still hasn't figured out the purpose of the visitor. If we talk about money, he has a lot of money. The banknotes plus cash are tens of thousands, but this money
Yiduoban is "official money", and he is not around.
"Here, I'm just a fortune teller. No matter how good my business is, I can't get more than this amount of money. I'd like to ask some good men to show their respect."
"Where is the corpse hidden in your official box?" Min Zhanlian sneered, "This corpse is worth several hundred taels, right?"
Liu Zhen was startled again, knowing that the person who came was not good, he whispered: "Since the hero has seen it, I won't tell secrets. Everyone is a gangster. There is no need to fight for a few money, the hero will give him a way."
, let’s see if we can leave. As long as it’s not a dead end, just make friends!”
"Okay, happy." Min Zhanlian said with a smile, "I don't want much money - one hundred thousand taels!"
All the team members present captured Liu Zhen's astonishment and the momentary look of horror in his eyes.
"Sure, it's him!"
"This... this..." Liu Zheng lowered his head and said in panic, "You don't have to be joking, a good man. Who am I? I have one hundred thousand taels of silver..."
"You don't have one, but the God of Wealth you invited does." Min Zhanlian sneered.
Liu Zheng's expression became more and more panicked, and he muttered reluctantly: "I didn't ask any God of Wealth, but I can earn 100,000 by praying to God and worshiping Buddha. This... this is too unbelievable..."
"Liu Zhen, don't stop pretending." Min Zhanlian said, "Tell me, where is this cold god of wealth now?"
"I don't know any shopkeeper Leng..."
"Eh? Did I say that Leng Caishen is a shopkeeper?" Min Zhanlian said with a smile.
Liu Zheng was sweating like rain, and his wound was stinging. He reluctantly said: "I didn't invite the God of Wealth. I don't know where he is."
"I think it's best for you to know. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being ethical."
"Hmph, kid, although I don't know who you are, I have been traveling around the world for many years, and I also worked as an errand in the Zhenfu Division in my early years. I have suffered more hardships than you have drunk, and you still want to threaten me.
Me?" Liu Ming saw that dressing up his grandson didn't work, and his face changed immediately.
"I know that you are a senior," Min Zhanlian said calmly, "and you are not afraid of being tortured. You are probably not afraid of losing your life either. But you have to think about this woman, right?" He said in a shuddering tone,
"The women here are best at female torture - don't worry, as long as you open your mouth, you will never kill her."
At this moment, Liu Wei's heart was in turmoil. The person in front of him was obviously a master of martial arts hired by the thieves from other places. Judging from their actions, they must be like big thieves. Today, he would be dead if he was recruited, and he would be dead if he was not recruited. He then sneered: "A bitch
That's all, I want to use this to manipulate you, it's just a fool's dream. You can rape or kill this woman, it's up to you."
Xiaowu said loudly: "Has everyone outside heard it?"
Only a scream was heard outside, and a woman cried: "You heartless! I have been serving you these days, and you said such heartless words..."
Min Zhanlian made a brief gesture, and there was no sound outside. Liu Zheng said angrily: "You are the thieves who don't respect the ethics of the world..."
"You have allowed us to harm our own women at will, so why are you talking about the morality of the world?" Min Zhanlian teased, "I hope she knows that you don't have too many things going on."
Liu Zhen knew that it was useless to hide it at this moment, so he immediately asked: "Who is your honorable master?"
"We are running errands for the Australians." Min Zhanlian made his identity clear, "Since we are all on the same path, there is no need to hide it. Tell me the whereabouts of Shopkeeper Leng, and I will protect your life."
"You are just a pawn of the thief Kun, why should I trust you?"
"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Just as you said before, I'll give you a way. It's not a dead end. Can you walk on it?"
Liu Zheng gritted his teeth and remained silent. At this moment, he was extremely upset. Now that the thief Kun had caught him, he would never let him go easily. As for whether he could survive, it was even more unknown...
