Chapter 105 Murder Sign (1)
“What kind of headband?”
Chi Shi was familiar with the case of murder signing. Before the kidnapping of Su Xiaoniang, a hot case occurred in the capital. A master died on a top scholar tree called a century-old tree in the Imperial College.
The Master's surname is Meng. In his early years, he won the top scorer and had a very knowledgeable knowledge. Once, as a military supervisor, he went to war with the army. Although he was lucky enough to save his life on the battlefield, his legs were inconvenient.
At that time, Lin Jijiu, from the Imperial College, persuaded His Majesty and invited Master Meng, who was Meng Xueqing, to come to Imperial College to teach and educate people.
He was honest and well-known as a gentleman. On a hot afternoon, a student named Zhang Qingnian discovered Meng Xueqing who was swaying on the tree when he passed by the Zhuangyuan Tree.
Zhang Qingnian was also a bold person. He was not afraid and rushed over and wanted to save Master Meng.
But the Zhuangyuan Tree is an old tree that needs several people to hold hands before they can circle the trunk. The crown of the tree is like a canopy, covering the sky and the sun, and the trees towering into the clouds, which is really rare.
People who are considered to be the leader among the trees, the Imperial College all call that tree the top scholar tree. Whenever the scientific examination is about to be conducted, many students tied the prayer talismans with the red rope and threw them to the tree.
When Zhang Qingnian heard the noise, he wanted to go over and hug Master Meng. As soon as he hugged his feet, he felt that Master Meng was slowly rising. He was shocked and raised his head to look up.
But the sun shone through the slit of the tree to his eyes, which was too dazzling. He was so prickly that he shed tears and subconsciously closed it. At this moment, a peach fell down and hit his nose directly.
Zhang Qingnian covered her face in pain, but in just a moment, Master Meng disappeared.
Zhang Qingnian was shocked and went to call someone.
But when everyone came, the surroundings were quiet. A drop of blood fell down and fell on the face of one of the students. He looked up and saw Master Meng, wearing a red dress, lying on the trunk of a tree, and under his feet, wearing a pair of boots embroidered with red, yellow and white patterns.
At first glance, it was exactly the same as the red lines and prayer talismans thrown by the scholars.
The tree was too high, and the scholars were all weak and literary. Almost few people could climb up. It was not until the constable from Jingzhao Prefecture came that he got Master Meng down. However, by that time, he had completely lost his breath.
Master Meng was a meritorious minister and died in the Imperial Academy where the children of powerful people gathered. Just the top scholar tree, the officials in the court, had not prayed for blessings before passing the exam?
This case caused a sensation in the entire capital.
"What kind of hairband is it? Did Master Meng wear a hairband on his head at that time?" Chi Shi asked after him.
Tutor Cao frowned, "It's a red one with many flowers embroidered on it, and yellow and white flowers, how to say it? It's like a small yellow and white wild flowers growing wild on the grass in spring."
"It matches his boots... on his head... Speaking of which, he is tied with a wooden hairpin on his head... Scholars, you know, if you don't have gold and jade, just some branches are called natural decorative."
As the official Cao said, he looked around and lowered his voice, "After Su Guo was a post-mortem, he told me that after Master Meng was injured, he couldn't stand it for a while and had committed suicide by cutting his wrist. After all, he studied hard for decades and finally had a bright future, because of this...ah..."
"But I asked Lin Jijiu, the scholar of the Imperial College, to save him. It was because Lin Jijiu just came to His Majesty and strongly recommended Master Meng... But who would have thought that Master Meng did not escape the word death."
Chi Shi frowned, "So that hairband is used to cover the scars on his wrist?"
Tutor Cao nodded, "That's right. Is there anything wrong with this hair? Maybe it was accidentally rubbed off when transporting the body, or maybe it was Su Jie accidentally lost it when she was taking off her clothes during the autopsy."
Because during the autopsy, Su Corp's daughter was kidnapped, he was upset and inevitably neglected.
Chi Shi shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know."
Her eyes moved and she asked again, "Why is Su Jie unwilling to use money to redeem Su Jie's daughter after she was kidnapped?"
"Oh," Cao Tui Guan said, lowered his head and sighed heavily, "At this point, Lao Su also regrets it very much."
As he said, he looked around and pulled Chi Shi to a corner of the wall. Not far away, the yamen runners of Jingzhao Mansion were collecting Ouyang Gu's body with Ouyang Jing. The onlookers made vomiting sounds from time to time.
The people from Zuixianlou had already carried the water out, and were waiting to get rid of the pile of meat paste and wash away the blood... Within a month, Zuixianlou was still Zuixianlou. No one remembered that there was a person who died here.
"There are some things in the file that are not recorded. In fact, at that time, my brother and sister-in-law, who were Mrs. Su, once paid the ransom according to what the kidnapper said, and it was done without telling Su Coron."
"At that time, the kidnappers asked to put the ransom in a pavilion by the moat, which was the silver note. I wanted to track down the bandits, and sprinkle some medicine powder on the silver note, thinking that at that time, I would let the dog chase people."
"It's a pity that in the end I was trapped by someone to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The murderer called a beggar and pretended to get the money, and left with an empty bag. When we caught the beggar, the silver bill was gone. If we let the dog chase him, we didn't even catch him."
"Later, you all know that Miss Su is dead."
"Sir, we are all right here, but we have to go back to the government office together?" Cao Tuanshou wanted to continue, but the constable on the other side had already been cleaned up and was waiting for him.
He patted Chi's shoulder, "I have seen your great-grandfather make a case before, and I can only say that he is amazing. Later, the Chi family declined, and everyone said that your Chi family had just left the luck and had a god-like man."
"But I don't know why? I for no reason. I felt that this magic was carved into my bones and passed down from generation to generation. Because later, I saw your father's skills, and later, I saw you again."
"How is Chi Zhu's son bad?" Cao Tui said, smiling self-deprecatingly, "Su Zhu's life has been guilty of his daughter's death. Maybe I'm talking to you about this, and I hope you are the god who came from the sky to save that poor man."
"He saved many people and helped many people to cleanse up grievances, but he couldn't save himself."
Chi Shi looked at the place where he had been photographed by Cao Tuiguan, "So what about gods? It's no big deal. Chi Shi is not a god, nor is he willing to be a god. Chi Shi is just a pond."
