Chapter 49: The Tengu Heart-Eating Incident on Xinglong Street (Part 2)
Is it the work of the Heavenly Dog?
Sun Shaozong put the dozen or so dog hairs under his nose one by one and sniffed them, then carefully pinched them into a small handful and looked at them carefully for a long time. A look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face, but he didn't say a word. He just threw the dog hair to Zhao Wuwei for safekeeping, and then began to search it inch by inch.
Seeing that Sun Shaozong did not take the "heavenly dog's mischief" seriously, Zhao Wuwei could not help but follow him and muttered, "Master, this case is really evil!"
"I heard that Minister Ge drove all the servants and maids out of the yard last night and stayed alone in the study. As a result, at nearly three o'clock in the morning, bursts of shrill dog barking were heard from the room, and each sound was more miserable than the last!"
"Minister Ge's family felt something was amiss, so they gathered a dozen people and came here to find out what was going on."
"As soon as they got to the yard, the dog stopped barking, but no matter how they shouted outside, there was no response from inside."
"With no other options left, the housekeeper and the eldest son of the Ge family gave the order to break in!"
"Who would have thought that after entering the bedroom, I would find that Minister Ge had been killed on the spot. There was no one in the room, and his heart was missing! There were only a few dog hairs on the air vent. You say this is not the heavenly dog claiming his life, so what else could it be?"
Hearing this, Sun Shaozong suddenly pulled his head out of the bathtub and asked seriously, "Are you sure that the dog's barking suddenly disappeared after everyone entered the yard?"
"That's not true. More than a dozen witnesses said so!"
Zhao Wuwei saw that his words finally took effect, and hurriedly added fuel to the fire: "Do you think this is evil?! Either the murderer is a monster who can fly, or the heavenly dog ate Minister Ge's heart and liver, and then escaped through the air vent! Otherwise, how could it disappear out of thin air when so many people were blocking it..."
Before the word "lost" could be uttered, Sun Shaozong rushed to the corner behind the door without saying a word and checked the floor and walls carefully.
Zhao Wuwei also eagerly came over, but even with his eyes bloodshot, he didn't find anything strange behind the door.
Just when he was wondering if Sun Shaozong had made a mistake, he clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Let's go! Let's go meet those witnesses first, and by the way, give our Prime Minister a dose of reassurance!"
Having said that, he walked out of the messy bedroom.
Reassurance?
Could it be that this case has been solved again? !
Zhao Wuwei was so shocked that he forgot to follow him for a moment - although he was very convinced of Sun Shaozong's ability to solve cases, this case was obviously beyond human power!
Could it be...
Sun Tongpan is just like Bao Longtu who "judged the yang during the day and interrogated the yin at night", and can even arrest and interrogate demons and ghosts? !
Because of this delay, when Zhao Wuwei came out of the bedroom, he saw Sun Shaozong talking to Jia Yucun and everyone in the Ge Mansion:
"The murderer left two very obvious pieces of evidence at the scene."
"First, there are a few dog hairs on the transom!"
"Secondly, it's the missing heart of the deceased!"
At this point, Sun Shaozong stopped and looked around at everyone before continuing, "According to the results of my investigation, the heart should have been torn off by the murderer's teeth and then eaten directly into his stomach!"
"Tengu! It must be the Tengu that ate the master's heart and liver!"
Before Sun Shaozong finished speaking, a middle-aged woman in a mink coat screamed hysterically: "That devil has tortured me for a whole year and a half. I knew that one day, I would die at the hands of that devil!"
“Wuwuwu…”
The woman's scream was still ringing in his ears when a fifty-year-old man burst into tears again: "Master, oh master, I told you a long time ago that I would invite some experts to exorcise the evil spirits, but you said you would not agree. Now look what has happened. I have been killed by that evil thing! Wuuwuwu..."
Judging from the positions and attire of these two people, they should be Minister Ge's concubine and housekeeper.
Although the others were not as out of control as they were, they were all pale as paper and looked frightened!
Even Jia Yucun changed his cold demeanor into one full of fear, his eyes rolling around in his sockets, and the word "retreat" seemed to be written directly on his face.
At this moment, Sun Shaozong suddenly laughed and shook his head, saying, "The murderer did this to make others think that the 'Heavenly Dog' was taking his life' - but this clumsy method is like adding legs to a snake or adding a tail to a dog, it is really ridiculous!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Zhao Wuwei and ordered, "Give me that handful of dog hair!"
Zhao Wuwei hurriedly unfolded the paper package and carefully presented the dog hair.
Sun Shaozong twisted it in his hand, shook it a few times, and sneered, "The thickness, length, color, feel... and even the smell of these dog hairs are different. It's obvious that they were picked up randomly to make up the number. What you heard last night should not be a group of dogs barking randomly, right?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at the dog hair suspiciously.
But the fox-fur woman didn't believe it at all. She sneered and said disdainfully, "This heavenly dog is not an ordinary dog. It is the result of the resentment of many animals that died unjustly. It has many different kinds of fur on its body. What's so strange about that?"
I'll go~
There is actually such an explanation!
Not only did others suddenly realize it, even Sun Shaozong was speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, this was not the only piece of evidence he had, so he reached out to Zhao Wuwei and asked for something, holding it in his palm to show everyone, saying: "Well, even if the heavenly dog is indeed a hybrid, how do you explain this thing?"
Everyone looked closely and saw that what he was holding in his hand was clearly a small ball of minced meat stuck together - although some people vaguely guessed the origin of this thing, they could not figure out the purpose of Sun Shaozong showing it.
"My dear brother."
Jia Yucun couldn't help but urge, "Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us quickly, what is so suspicious about this thing?"
"Mr. Fu Cheng."
Sun Shaozong then explained: "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the heart crumbs chewed by the murderer - but don't you think that this meat crumbs are a little too fine?"
As he spoke, he ground the meat into a thin layer on his palm and continued to explain: "Although dog teeth are sharp and pointed, they are more suitable for chewing hard objects or tearing flesh than humans - but precisely because of their sharpness, dog teeth do not have the ability to grind food into fine particles! On the contrary, our human teeth can easily achieve this effect!"
At this point, Sun Shaozong gestured his palm towards the middle-aged woman and asked with a smile: "Auntie, you don't want to tell me that the celestial dog not only has a body of mixed hair, but also has a mouth full of human teeth, right?!"
