The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 267: There Will Always Be Only One Truth!

Wasnt it far from the truth being revealed?!

Everyone present was a bit dumbfounded. Except for Sun Shaozong's startled and ghostly behavior just now, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it, right?

Did Lord Sun just get clues from demons and ghosts?

Sigh!

Seeing everyone with big and small eyes and a puzzled expression, Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly. "Remember to see, think, and try more things in the future, otherwise, how can you become good Captains?

Forget it. Let me go through the whole process from scratch and briefly explain the reasoning behind the case to you.

Upon hearing that Sun Shaozong was about to sort out the case, the captors quickly gathered around anxiously. Although they might not necessarily be able to work and love the tasks they did, they were still much more concerned about solving the case than ordinary people.

Cough~

Sun Shaozong cleared his throat and said sternly, "First of all, it's the body. Constable Jiang once inferred that the deceased was killed by blunt tools such as sticks, bricks, and stones. On this basis, through more careful observation, I identified the wound that should have been caused by blunt tools such as bricks and stones.

So the question is, have you ever noticed anything abnormal at the wound on the body?

Was there anything abnormal about the wound?

Everyone looked at each other and unconsciously felt a bit embarrassed. Although they were also on the exploration site, how could their level of observation be comparable to that of Sun Shaozong?

Furthermore, with their knowledge reserves, even if they really saw something strange, they might not be able to recognize it.

Of course, some of them could still react after being prompted.

For example

That's right!

Qiu Yunfei jumped up and answered like a primary school student, "I once heard Old Xu say that if a brick or stone is smashed into a wound, it will inevitably be stained with some debris powder. But the wound seems quite clean, at least no stone powder is seen.

Tch!

This kid has learned a lot of skills by following the corpse examiner, Old Xu!

Unfortunately, Old Xu was only able to wield his power freely in the morgue. As soon as he left, he was submissive and completely unable to exert his strength. Otherwise, pulling him out for investigation would be a good choice.

That's right.

With regret in his heart, Sun Shaozong loudly affirmed Qiu Yunfei's discovery and further added, "Generally, when bricks and stones are severely impacted, some powder and debris will always fall. Only stones that have been washed for a long time or repeatedly played with will be exceptions.

Of course, this so-called exception is only under externally intact conditions. If fragmentation occurs after impact, the powder will naturally fall off too.

Therefore, the texture of this murder weapon should be quite hard.

There is no river near Wumiao Street, so it is obviously unrealistic to search for stones like pebbles on the spot, let alone if the murder weapon is a pebble, the murderer does not need to take it away.

So, that murder weapon must be a stone artifact that can reveal the identity of the killer and has been washed and played with for a long time.

A stone artifact that could reveal the identity of the killer and has been tampered with for a long time?

When everyone heard this and contacted Sun Shaozong's strange behavior just now, they thought of something!

Inkstone!

The person who spewed out these words in front of him was, naturally, Qiu Yunfei, who had no taboos. He excitedly said, "It is an inkstone, right?! That's why you took that tattered thing and recharged it when it came.

Exactly!

Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "I suspected at the time that the murder weapon could be a square inkstone. But under normal circumstances, who would carry a square inkstone with them at midnight?

Did he initially want to use an inkstone as a murder weapon to kill people?

I'm afraid it's unlikely, isn't it?

So, there must be something else for the killer to bring an inkstone with him.

I got it!

Qiu Yunfei exclaimed with great happiness, "He stole the Master's inkstone and wants to sell it to someone else.

That's right.

Sun Shaozong said, pointing to his previous position and saying, "A dishonest businessman and a servant from a wealthy family are sneaking together in this restaurant to sell the inkstone that he steals.

What Xu Shengli saw was the current situation.

However, just as Xu Shengli greeted his acquaintances and entered the private room of the A-class room, an accident suddenly occurred. The young man suddenly ran into an acquaintance, the deceased Pan You'an.

Pan You'an arrived at the tavern at a quarter past twenty [8:30 pm], and it took about two-quarters of an hour until [9:00 pm]. Since he was trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol, the half-catty wine sold in the shop should have been consumed in about two-quarters of an hour.

"So Pan You'an stuck out his head. He should have wanted to invite the waiter to serve wine, and he didn't want to collide with the waiter!"

Pan You'an and that young man should be quite familiar, so he didn't bother much and only noticed the tricky relationship between these two people.

The young man saw that the matter had been exposed and rushed into the private room. He first begged softly and then began to threaten. This was also the sound of arguments that Liu Tiezhu vaguely heard when he returned upstairs.

When Liu Tiezhu went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare, the servant and Pan You'an left unhappily and didnt dare to stay to trade with the unscrupulous merchant. They hurriedly left Huiyun Tower with their inkstone.

Therefore, in Liu Tiezhu's impression, the unscrupulous merchant had always been alone. Xu Shengli believed that the young man had always been with the merchant.

The matter should have come to an end now. But after leaving the Huiyun Tower, the young man was in a state of anxiety. Perhaps he wanted to negotiate with Pan You'an again so that Pan You'an wouldn't expose his actions.

Alternatively, he was already preparing to inflict a cruel blow.

Anyway, by midnight, Pan You'an was drunk and swayed out of the Huiyun Tower, and the young man followed up.

Seeing no one on the left or right, to cover up his behavior of stealing and selling the owner's property, the young servant killed Pan You'an with the inkstone at the entrance of the alley. Then, he threw the body into the alley and hurriedly fled.

Then, around dawn, someone discovered Pan You'an's body but didnt choose to report it to the authorities. Instead, the person stole his belongings from the body, leading to a misjudgment of killing and robbing.

They could hear Sun Shaozong speaking as if he had seen the murder happen with his own eyes.

The various details and clues used in it were all inquired about in front of everyone, making people feel as if they could do it as long as they worked hard.

But everyone present was from a Constable background, how would they not be aware of the difficulty of cracking this headless murder case?

Moreover, compared with previous cases, Sun Shaozong's ability to see the truth in small details and connect and complete various clues becomes more divine and unattainable.

They were afraid that, even if they worked hard for three more lifetimes, they might not be able to make it!

Every time they heard his inference, they were amazed.

Zhao Wuwei, after all, had been with Sun Shaozong for the longest time, so he was also the first to react. Listening to him chugging and flattering, Jiang Laoqi and others were then clear of the process and immediately came a wave of flattery.

Alright, there's no need to say these useless words.

Sun Shaozong waved his hand and said, "Inspector Qiu, Constable Zhao, and Constable Jiang, you three should bring Xu Shengli and come with me to identify the true culprit.

Identify the real culprit?

Jiang Laoqi couldn't help but exclaim, "Do you already know who the real culprit is?

Pak!

Before Sun Shaozong could answer, Qiu Yunfei slapped him on the back of the head and angrily scolded, "Do you have a pig's brain?! Pan You'an is young and works as a book boy in a big house. How can he know outsiders?

Even if he knows a few people, he can't handle his own affairs, and how can he still care about the private affairs of other people?

He yelled at Jiang Laoqi several times before he eventually opened his eyes. He widened his eyes and said, "So, that murderer... is also from Rongguo Mansion?

That's right.

Sun Shaozong firmly said, "The murderer must also be a servant of Rongguo Mansion!"
