Chapter 1145 Knowing today, why was it in the first place
Chapter 1145: If I had known today, why bother?
When Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu hurried outside the house where Lu Boer lived, the place was already full of people, and at first glance they were all members of the Muyue Kingdom's envoy.
Lu Bol's house has been sealed off by the Muyue Kingdom guards. Everyone outside is talking non-stop. Some shake their heads in contempt, some are disappointed and sad, and all have different expressions.
Chai Yan wanted to find Ahudala in the crowd, but he didn't find it, and he didn't know where Ahudala was after what happened.
Hang Baiqiu was also crowded and confused, so he asked, "What should we do now?"
Chai Yan said: "Look for their second prince."
So, the two started asking questions among the crowd.
As he was asking, Chaiyan suddenly saw someone coming out of Lubol's room. He looked closely and saw that it was Ahudala who was being carried out sitting on an armchair, accompanied by his entourage.
Chai Yan immediately patted Hang Baiqiu, and then walked towards Ahudala. Hang Baiqiu looked back and hurriedly followed.
When the two came to Ahudala, Chai Yan asked: "Second Prince, how is it?"
Compared with last night, Ahudala's face seemed to be more haggard at this time. It was unknown whether it was because of Lu Bol's death or because of his physical weakness after being poisoned.
Ahhudala sighed depressedly, shook his head and said: "Blame me, blame me! If I hadn't said a lot of harsh words last night, Lu Bol wouldn't have... It's all my fault!"
The attendant next to him said: "Second Prince, how can I blame you for this? He betrayed the country. It's not your fault that he can't bear the pain of sin!"
Chai Yan said: "Second Prince, can we go in and have a look?"
Ahudala raised his eyes and looked at Chai Yan, and said feebly: "Master Chai, everyone is dead, what else is there to see?"
Chai Yan said seriously: "Second Prince, after all, someone died, and it happened in the inn. As an official of the Wude Department, Chai must inspect the death scene."
Chai Yan's meaning was very clear, that is, he had to go in and take a look at the scene. If Lu Bol's death was really a suicide, then it would be simpler. If it was a homicide, then the situation would be much more complicated.
Ahudala thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement, and said to his entourage: "Bala, please go in with Mr. Chai to have a look, I won't go in..."
Chai Yan could tell that Ahudala didn't want to see Lu Bol's death again.
Chaiyan never knew the name of his attendant. It was not until Ahudala called him out that he learned that the attendant's name was Bala.
This name immediately reminded Chai Yan of "Balala Little Demon Fairy", but due to the occasion, Chai Yan couldn't laugh.
The attendant Bala did not say "Please come in", but turned sideways and stretched out his hand to signal politely.
Chai Yan nodded and walked into the room with Hang Baiqiu.
As soon as he entered the room, Chai Yan smelled the smell of blood, and Hang Baiqiu must have smelled it too, because she covered her nose with her hand.
Chai Yan turned to look at the innermost bed. At this time, Lu Bol's body had been covered by a piece of white cloth. There was still dark red blood on the edge of the bed, on the footrest and on the ground.
Chai Yan asked Bala: "When was it discovered?"
Bala walked a few steps into the house and then stopped. He stood behind the table in the middle of the room and said, "Mr. Chai, it was after dawn. At that time, our people came to deliver breakfast. They knocked on the door for a long time but there was no answer. Later,
When I opened the door and came in, I saw it was like this..."
When Hang Baiqiu heard what Bala said, he turned around to check the door latch and found that it had indeed been broken by someone.
"It was indeed broken." Hang Baiqiu returned to Chai Yan and whispered.
Chai Yan nodded slightly and walked to Lu Bol's bedside with Hang Baiqiu.
Chai Yan looked at Hang Baiqiu, then stepped forward and pulled away the white cloth covering the body, revealing Lu Bol's pale face.
Hang Baiqiu took a step closer and stared at Lu Bol's cut left wrist and began to observe.
Chai Yan did not disturb Hang Baiqiu, but turned around and looked around the windows in the house and asked, "Were the windows closed when they were discovered?"
Bala nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Chai, because of what happened last night, the guards sealed the doors and windows. Unexpectedly..."
Chai Yan walked closer to a window, stretched out his hand and pushed it hard, and found that the window was indeed closed, and it seemed that ordinary people could not open it easily.
Then, Chai Yan walked back to Hang Baiqiu and asked, "Did you see anything?"
Hang Baiqiu straightened up, turned around and asked Bala: "Where is the murder weapon?"
Bala then pointed to the table and said: "Over there."
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu took a closer look and saw that it was a dagger with blood stains. Looking at the style, they knew it was not a Shengguo dagger, but a style from the Western Regions.
Hang Baiqiu checked the blade, then compared it with the blade to check the traces of the wound, and then said to Chai Yan: "The wound is correct, it was cut by this dagger!"
Next, Hang Baiqiu checked everywhere in the house and finally concluded that this was a suicide!
Chai Yan covered the body with the white cloth again, turned around and approached Bala, and asked: "You live next door, can you hear anything unusual here before dawn?"
Bala thought about it for a moment, shook her head affirmatively and said: "There is nothing abnormal, there is no sound at all."
"After I left last night, did your second prince say anything serious to Lu Bol?" Chai Yan asked.
Bala glanced outside the door, nodded slowly, and whispered: "Yes, because our second prince has always trusted Lu Boer, but what happened yesterday really broke the second prince's heart. The second prince just didn't think about it for a while.
I can't bear it, I didn't expect that Lu Bol would..."
At the end of the sentence, Bala shook her head in frustration.
Chai Yan said expressionlessly: "If I had known today, why would I do it in the first place?"
Bala sighed after hearing this: "Alas..."
Afterwards, Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu exchanged opinions, and after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, they came out of the room.
When they came out, most of the people gathered outside had been dispersed, and only a few guards were still standing guard.
When Ahudala saw Chai Yan coming out, he immediately asked with concern: "Master Chai, did you commit suicide?"
Chai Yan nodded his head very carefully and said, "It was suicide. No other suspicious signs were found."
Ahudala said very sadly: "He shouldn't have committed suicide! In fact, I thought about it last night. When I return to Muyue Kingdom, I will definitely plead with my father. After all, he was also threatened by the people of Piz."
If something goes wrong, my father should be able to forgive me. Instead of being imprisoned for a few years, it would be better than losing my life! Alas..."
Chai Yan said: "He should do this because he doesn't want to live casually."
Ahudala shook his head sadly, and then said nothing.
After waiting for almost two quarters of an hour, people from the local county government finally arrived at the inn.
When the magistrate saw that the dead person was actually a foreigner and a deputy envoy of the mission, he began to sweat uncontrollably on his forehead and back. He was so worried and nervous that he could not even speak. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said that he would never
I have never encountered anything like this before, so I suggest you leave it to the Huaidu Prefecture directly.
Chai Yan had no choice but to arrange for Wang Wangzhou to return to Beijing first so that he could notify Chen Fuyin to send someone over to take over the case immediately.
