Chapter 19 Slaughterhouse
Xiaolan was still in a trance in the carriage, slowly thinking about what her young master had just said, muttering to herself: I wonder how her young master's gentleman's way compares to her own Qingguang swordsmanship?
Ling Changfeng saw Xiaolan's eyes becoming more and more excited, and suddenly felt the cool breeze behind her. Ling Changfeng hurriedly slapped her awake and said softly: "What are you still thinking about? Look at your eyes shining. Next
Come on, the slaughterhouse is here!"
Hearing this, Xiaolan had no choice but to snort, hugged Xiaoyu, and got out of the car with Ling Changfeng. She couldn't help but extinguish her inner thoughts of comparing Qingguang swordsmanship with the young master's gentlemanly way.
However, of course the young master was not informed of the rivalry between the two, otherwise Ling Changfeng would have brainwashed her as soon as possible. Otherwise, when Xiaolan saw that he was not an enemy of Yihe, she would probably be very hostile to her former master.
The view will be greatly reduced.
Ling Changfeng was completely unaware of Xiaolan's inner thoughts. After getting off the carriage, he casually looked around the slaughterhouse.
Although it is one of the only two slaughterhouses in Luoyang, it is just a closed house with many wooden pillars set up in an orderly manner. There are no walls and wooden boards to separate it. It is just a simple thatched shed on top.
To keep out the rain, there are many adobe platforms for slaughtering inside the slaughterhouse, on which butchers usually perform their cooking skills.
The road leading to the slaughterhouse was already pitch black, soaked in blood and rain over the years, and the smell was astounding. Flies were buzzing around, enjoying the "delicious food."
The floor inside the slaughterhouse is even covered with a layer of greasy filth. You must be careful when walking inside, otherwise you will easily come into close contact with this perennial filth.
In normal times, even if this is the peak period of the slaughterhouse's business, there are countless pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered, and except for the butcher, there are not many others.
However, since this place was sealed off yesterday afternoon, there are patrolling police officers wearing masks on their heads everywhere, but there are no pigs or sheep.
For those police officers, it is rare for them to see such a harsh case handling environment.
Some people were originally driving pigs and sheep to come in for slaughtering and trading. When they saw so many official officials here, they immediately extinguished their thoughts and hurriedly turned around and went back. They were afraid that they would be detained by the official officials, otherwise their whole day would be wasted.
At this moment, Ling Changfeng and Xiaolan were thickening their masks. Under the layers of masks, they just needed to be able to breathe.
The detective who was investigating inside saw a young man and woman standing outside. After slowly coming over, he shouted sternly: "Who are you two? The government office is doing something, and no one can wait and watch! Get out of here quickly!"
Seeing his arrogant attitude, Xiaolan was about to teach him a lesson, but Ye Jingyan came over at this moment, raised his hands and said: "Why did Ling Special Envoy come here today? Lord Meng is interrogating yesterday's slaughterhouse in the pavilion far away.
A bunch of people are waiting.”
Ling Changfeng pulled Xiaolan and said, "We want to go in and see the scene of Zhu Liu's death. We were just stopped by this policeman."
Ye Jingyan said quickly: "This is Master Meng's order. No one is allowed to break in at will before the blockade is lifted. I hope you will forgive me!" Although his tone of reply was kind, his words were full of rejection.
Ling Changfeng reached out and picked up the special envoy token and said in a cold voice: "Why, even the emperor is not allowed to enter? Huh! I'm afraid Master Meng wouldn't dare to do this even if he comes in person!"
Seeing this, Ye Jingyan had no choice but to wink at a few of his men and ask them to give way. He handed over his hands and said, "I don't care, sir. The special envoy will go in for now. I will inform Mr. Meng right away."
Ling Changfeng and the other two didn't care whether he informed him or not, so they ignored him and walked slowly inside.
The road was really slippery. At this time, Ling Changfeng was following Xiaolan, holding Xiaolan in one hand and holding Xiaoyu in the other. Ling Changfeng was not paying attention just now, and his feet slipped and he almost fell. If Xiaolan hadn't been quick with his eyesight and quick hands,
If you hold on, I'm afraid I'll be in a terrible mess.
So Lan walked forward and let the young master hold her. As for Xiaoyu, of course she cherished her white little paws and hugged Ling Changfeng tightly.
After walking hundreds of feet, the two finally stopped. In front of them, Zhu Liu was lying quietly on the table in the slaughterhouse. An unknown number of pigs and sheep had been slaughtered on this table, but at this moment, for the first time, there was someone.
Lie on it.
Zhu Liu's face was pale, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, black lips, and varying degrees of bruises on his hands. There were messy footprints on the ground. I don't know if they were left by the murderer or by someone who came to slaughter the pigs and sheep.
Down.
There were no signs of damage to the surrounding items. After asking people around, they learned that Zhu Liu's body was moved out from under the desk, so no one found out that Zhu Liu was dead yesterday. And the coroner has also seen it.
After passing the body, it was initially determined that the deceased was killed at noon yesterday, had a fight with someone before his death, and there were obvious signs of searching on his body. It was probably a vendetta, and the cause of death was poisoning.
Ling Changfeng carefully examined Zhu Liu's body and found that there was nothing special about it. It was basically consistent with the coroner's judgment. When he opened Zhu Liu's shoulder, he saw that there was a tattoo of a silver needle on his shoulder.
Wipe the blood from the corners of Zhu Liu's mouth with a cloth and wrap it carefully.
Xiaolan saw that her young master was thinking, so she curiously explored the surrounding environment, hoping to find something.
Ling Changfeng straightened up and saw Xiaolan still looking around, so he smiled and said, "Xiaolan, what are you looking at?"
Xiaolan then said: "Master, don't you think it's strange?"
Hearing this, Ling Changfeng said: "Really? There is indeed something abnormal, and you discovered it. Come, tell me what you think."
"The butcher Zhu Liu was poisoned at noon yesterday. Logically speaking, in such a stinky environment, no one can eat anything, right? Can this still be poisoned?" Xiaolan said proudly.
view.
Ling Changfeng nodded and said with a smile: "Xiaolan, it's good to learn reasoning so quickly." Seeing that Xiaolan was so proud of being praised, he explained: "It's exactly what you said. But this Zhu Liu committed suicide.
He was easily subdued by others before he was alive, and then he bit the poison pill hidden in his mouth and died of poisoning."
Xiaolan nodded and thought to herself: "I'm afraid this murderer is not simple. Zhu Liu can be easily taken down on such a slippery ground."
"Let's go. Now, only by finding the origin of this poison as soon as possible can we find the other murderer as soon as possible." After Ling Changfeng finished speaking, he motioned to Xiaolan to lead the way.
"Master, where are we going?" Xiaolan asked from the front.
"Luoyang Baicaotang!"
