Chapter 181 Chongwenmen Murder and Robbery Incident (Part 2)
Staring at the corpse that looked like Wang Xifeng, Sun Shaozong was stunned for a long while before he subconsciously asked, "What's the name of this woman? What's her personality like? Have you asked about this?"
"Of course I have checked ."
Zhao Wuwei came up to him and said, "This woman's name is Lu Huiniang. I heard she has a very aggressive temper. When her husband, a scholar, was still alive, she often ordered him around."
Zhou Da added, "Her husband died of an epidemic while preparing for the exam in the summer ."
Tsk~
Even their personalities match, could it be that Jia She has some dirty thoughts about his own daughter-in-law? !
Sun Shaozong's inference was almost correct.
At that time, Jia Zhen of the East Palace had an unclear relationship with his daughter-in-law Qin Keqing. Others would certainly despise him when they mentioned it, but Jia She was secretly aroused to have dirty thoughts and was quite envious of this "affair of gathering deer".
However, his son Jia Lian, although also a dissolute young man, was far from being as carefree as Jia Zhen's son Jia Rong.
In addition, Wang Xifeng's personality is not as easy to manipulate as Qin Keqing's, and she has the support of her father Wang Ziteng. Jia She does not have the courage to force her at all, so he can only suppress this thought in his heart for the time being.
But as the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and a secret lover is not as good as not being able to steal at all!
This evil fire had been suppressed for two years and had become a source of worry for Master Jia. It would boil over every now and then, burning him and making him feel uncomfortable all over.
What a coincidence!
I saw Lu Huiniang on the street a few days ago. She looked 80% like Wang Xifeng, especially her pair of slanted phoenix eyes, which were so lifelike that Jia She was immediately attracted to her.
This was also the biggest reason why he would rather sell his daughter yesterday to fulfill his wish!
Stop talking nonsense.
However, Sun Shaozong was half feeling sad and half feeling disgusted. He temporarily put the matter behind him, walked to the corpse with full concentration, and began to examine it carefully.
First of all, the deceased was wearing a half-new robe, but there was nothing inside.
Secondly, there were signs of intercourse in the private parts, but they were not very obvious. It seemed that the intercourse was rather hasty and sloppy - considering Jia She's age and physical condition, this is understandable.
Again, the fatal wound was a dagger stabbed into the lung, causing massive bleeding and death.
Finally, her left hand was placed on her chest, and her right hand was stretched out with her five fingers in a grasping position. However, there was no skin debris left between her nails - it seemed that she had tried to catch the murderer, but the murderer evaded her .
Such were the discoveries on the body.
As for the time of death, it is estimated to be around midnight last night.
In addition, there were cups and plates scattered on the table in the middle, and there were four empty wine jugs. Judging from the physical characteristics of the deceased, he did not look like he was killed after being drunk. Instead, there were still some signs of a hangover in Jia She's behavior and conversation.
Then there is a huge bathtub placed at the foot of the west wall. Even someone of Sun Shaozong's physique can use it. For an ordinary person, it will be no problem to use it for taking a bath together.
According to Sun Shaozong's observation, this bathtub has not been used for a very long time, at least not more than half a year.
"My dear brother."
Sun Shaozong was still waiting for a detailed investigation. Jia Yucun, who had finally calmed Jia She down, came running over eagerly, asking hopefully, "Have you found out anything?"
"Well..."
Sun Shaozong asked back: "General Jia, what did you say?"
Jia Yucun hurriedly said, "My uncle said that he lost some silver. He lost a full seven thousand taels of silver!"
"He brought so much silver with him?"
Sun Shaozong frowned when he heard this, feeling that this money might be related to his cheap elder brother.
Regardless of the fact that this matter had nothing to do with the case, he asked, "Besides that, did General Jia tell us what happened?"
"some!"
Jia Yucun hurriedly repeated Jia She's words from beginning to end.
It turned out that Jia She brought enough silver yesterday and came to Lu Hui Niang's house to show off.
Lu Huiniang was a greedy person to begin with, and when she saw that he had brought the silver as promised, she was very happy and no longer had any intention of refusing.
So he prepared a banquet overnight and served Jia She a feast, and then he went to bed and had some fun while he was in a good mood - of course, he didn't have much fun for long.
Later, Jia She felt a little tired and fell into a deep sleep. At dawn, he found that Lu Huiniang had been killed and his body was covered with blood.
Jia She was so frightened that he screamed loudly, which alarmed the neighbors, and then things developed into the current situation.
"Wait a moment!"
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong questioned: "Since she was having sex with a man, how could she not lock the door? And if the door was locked, how could the neighbors break in and see General Jia with the corpse?"
"this……"
Jia Yucun's eyes lit up, and he asked hurriedly, "Captain Zhao, did the witnesses mention the incident at the courtyard gate?"
“That wasn’t mentioned specifically.”
Zhao Wuwei said: "But from their description, they should have just barged in, and did not bang on the door."
"That's the case."
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "Then General Jia's suspicion is reduced a little bit."
The word "again" made Jia Yucun feel itchy and he hurriedly urged him to tell him everything he had found out.
"First of all, this outer robe is quite thick and cumbersome to wear, and she obviously has a more convenient inner lining that is enough to keep out the cold indoors."
"Normally, since she has taken off all her clothes, there is no reason for her to wear this complicated outer robe alone without the lining."
"Unless she's in a hurry to open the door for someone outside!"
"Only in this situation would she give up the inner lining which is not good enough to keep out the cold and put on the outer robe directly."
"And the gate was not locked, which also proves the speculation that someone else was here last night - unless General Jia killed someone and deliberately created this illusion to make us suspect someone else."
"but……"
At this point, Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "With General Jia's status and position, there are probably a hundred ways to cover up this matter. There is absolutely no need to make it so public and backfire."
Jia Yucun was overjoyed: "So, my uncle is not suspected anymore?!"
“This…”
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "I can't be sure yet. I can only say that General Jia is less likely to be suspected. However, until decisive evidence is found or the real culprit is caught, General Jia is still one of the important suspects."
Jia Yucun was also worried and confused. After listening to what Sun Shaozong said, he knew that he could not let Jia She go at this time, so he asked earnestly: "Brother, I wonder if you have found any clues about the real murderer?"
"Of course there are clues."
Sun Shaozong said, pointing at the female corpse, "First of all, this corpse has revealed a lot of information."
