Chapter 36 Qinglou was shocked in the middle of the night
Song Nan and his soldiers were patrolling to the corner of a street called Sweet Well on East Street. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the distance. In the quiet night, the sound was extremely shocking. Song Nan quickly raised his hand to signal his soldiers to stop and carefully identify the direction of the sound. She could hear the sound of screams and crying, but I don't know what happened.
"Master Nan, it seems that someone is crying. There is something wrong!" A small flag under his hand said.
Song Nan said, "Go and have a look. It should be on the street corner in front of you."
Everyone ran wildly and turned the corner. The red light flashed in front of them. The three-story courtyard across the street was full of people's eyes. The red lanterns on the porch shook so that people's eyes were dizzy. Song Nan recognized this place. This is the famous wind and moon place in Weizhou, 'Yihongfang'. Around the Spring Festival, it was the time when business was booming, so All night, the guests are also coming and going.
"What's wrong? What's going on?" Everyone rushed over, and a small flag shouted loudly.
A woman who was screaming saw the arrival of the patrol soldiers and hurried forward and said, "Master, it's not good. It's killing me."
The little flag shouted, "Good reply. This is our chief flag officer, Lord Song. I will tell him what happened as soon as possible."
The woman's temples were slanted, and the thick powder on her face could not hide the panic on her face. She said in a shrill voice, "It's amazing, Master Song Jun, someone died upstairs. Go and have a look."
Song Nan shouted, "What's the panic? Who died, is it the person in your yard or the guest?
The woman said, "It's a guest. My God, why does the slave family have such a thing? Master, this matter has nothing to do with the slave family. The slave family and the people in this yard don't have the courage to kill people."
"Have you ever seen the murderer?"
"No... I didn't see it. Xiao Cui went up to deliver snacks. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the two masters dead in the room." The woman cried.
Song Nan frowned, turned her head and shouted: "Block the front and back doors of Yihongfang immediately. Everyone here is not allowed to leave. Li Zhi and Fang Jian, you two come with me."
The soldiers responded loudly and immediately took action, driving the guests and several women standing at the door into the gate. Several prostitutes were afraid that they would come out and be known by their families to visit the kiln. They made a lot of noise to leave Yihongfang. Song Nan pulled out his waist knife and shouted, "Who doesn't want to be arrested as a murderer? It's noisy; everyone here is suspicious, and no one can leave before it is found out.
After saying that, he took two small flags of Li Zhifangjian and walked upstairs. The second floor was already empty. There was a murder case. The fans and guests upstairs had already fled downstairs like frightened birds, and the whole second floor was silent.
"Madam, which room is it?" Li Zhitan asked downstairs for the first time.
The woman said in a trembling voice, "It's the third room in the West, military lord, don't do our business."
"What's the cost?" Li Zhi shouted and scolded.
Song Nan held a knife in her hand and rushed to the corridor in three steps and two. Fang Jian behind her quickly rushed forward to block Song Nan's head. The three quickly came to the door of the third room in the west. Fang Jian wink, raised his foot and kicked it, kicked the empty wooden door open, and then rushed in with a knife.
Song Nan and Li Zhi also rushed in immediately. The scene in front of them was unbearable. Under the swaying of the candlelight, the two men fell to the ground naked, and the blood flowed all over the ground. The room was in a mess. The tea cup on the table of clothes, shoes and hats were scattered on the ground, and it seemed that they had experienced a struggle.
Song Nan gently walked around the blood stains on the ground, pressed the neck arteries of the two deceased for a while, got up and shook his head and said, "Dead."
Fang Jian sighed and said, "It's a sword wound. Master Nan, you see, there are more than a dozen injuries on the two people, one fatally injured in the throat and the other in the ribs."
Song Nan nodded and whispered, "Look for their clothes and see if you can find out their identity."
Fang Jian and Li Zhi immediately slowly searched in the room. Suddenly, Li Zhi shouted, "Master Nan, look, there is a sign in this dress, which is a waist card!"
Song Nan quickly took it and looked at it carefully under the candlelight, but saw that the waist card was made of bamboo and wood, in a long shape, with square cloud patterns carved at the top, leaving an empty space, wearing black silk, and the front of the waist card was engraved with handwriting: the general flag of Weiwei Weizhou 100 households, Song Nan turned over the back, and a person's name carved on it.
"Liu...Five...Fu!" Song Nan said slowly.
"Ah?" Li Zhi and Fang Jian's colleagues were shocked.
Song Nan frowned and said, "The name is so familiar. I really want to hear about it."
Fang Jian hurriedly said, "Master Nan, he is the chief flag officer of Weizhou Jinyiwei Hundred Households."
Song Nan suddenly remembered that on the day he joined the company, it was Liu Wufu who came to congratulate Fang Datong. At that time, he still remembered his small white eyes.
Song Nan quickly picked up the candlelight and approached the face of the dead body on the ground and looked at it carefully. After wiping off the blood on her face, she finally recognized that the person who fell by the bed was Liu Wufu, the chief flag officer of Weizhou Jinyiwei Baihu Institute. Song Nan took a deep breath. Someone killed Jinyiwei in Yihongfang, which was a big deal.
After a search, another person's waist card was also found. It was a lieutenant named Zheng Dahu of the Jinyiwei Baihu Institute in Weizhou. Obviously, the two came together to have fun, but they died here.
Song Nan quickly walked out of the room and hurried downstairs, greeting someone to bring the boss's wife to ask questions. The old madam's legs were so weak that she collapsed on the ground and even said that she had nothing to do with it.
Song Nan asked, "Do you know who died?"
"I don't know their identity. Let's open the yard... Open the door to do business, just want a guest to be comfortable... Enjoy a meal, how can we ask the identity of the guest?"
"The two people who died are brocade guards!" Song Nan shouted, "You are in big trouble now."
The old manservant was already paralyzed and weak. Hearing the words, she burst into tears and snot, making her face full of makeup as if she had been burned and faded, and looked disgusting.
"When did you find out that the person was dead?" Song Nan asked again.
The madam howled and did not answer Song Nan's question. Fang Jian said angrily, "What are you saying? Say it quickly."
The madam hurriedly said, "Just... just now, the guest ordered drinks and snacks before. Xiao Cui brought it up and found that there was a dead person inside."
"What about Xiao Cui? Ask her to ask questions." Song Nandao.
The old woman quickly looked up and looked around, stretched out his finger to a girl huddled behind the flower bed and said, "Dead girl, are you deaf? If you don't go back and forth, the military master will say.
The girl was so scared that she ran over and knelt in front of Song Nan and said repeatedly, "It's none of my business. When I went in, they were... dead."
Song Nan saw that the girl's face was yellow and thin, her clothes were very thin, and her hair was thin and short. She knew that the girl must be completely colorless and could only be a servant of tea. I'm afraid she was a poor woman, so she said gently, "Don't be afraid, you just told me what you saw. "
Xiao Cui said in a trembling voice, "I took the drinks and snacks up. When I got to the door, I heard a lot of noise inside, and then..."
Song Nan interrupted, "Do you hear the noise? Then why did you go in?"
Xiao Cui blushed and said, "Here... there is a noisy sound in the room here... It's unusually tight."
Song Nan thought for a moment and immediately understood the reason. The brothel is the most unscrupulous place. It is not surprising that there are any strange sounds in the room. What sounds can't be emitted when men and women fight?
"Go on."
Xiao Cui nodded quickly and said, "I pushed them in and saw two guests... They were covered with blood and fell to the ground. There was a lot of blood, so I ran out to call people."
Song Nan said, "Do you only see those two guests? Didn't they ask a girl to accompany them?
Song Nan said, and the old pup on the ground jumped up like a spring, looked around, and said repeatedly, "Huh? What about Gu Fang? What about Qinger? Aren't they accompanied by those two guests? Why don't you see them?"
The girls and nurses in the brothel hurriedly looked around and looked for it. They looked upstairs and downstairs, but they didn't see Gu Fang and Qinger. Song Nan had some points of hesitation in his heart. This murder case* was related to these two women.
"Has anyone seen them slipping out in the chaos?" Song Nan asked.
The two guards who guarded the door quickly went up and talked, swearing that no one would slip away, not to mention the two girls in their own garden.
Song Nan asked the origin of the two girls again. The old woman hesitated for a long time before telling the truth. It turned out that the two women had not been in Yihongfang for a long time, only more than ten days, and they claimed that they had no livelihood and did not volunteer to come here as prostitutes. Seeing the beautiful appearance of these two lives, the business must be good, so he did not How much they wanted to stay; the two women proposed to choose the guests for the first time, otherwise they would not be willing to receive the guests, and the old woman also agreed to them. Today, as soon as the two guests upstairs came, the two proposed to accompany the two guests. The two guests saw the fresh goods in the garden, coupled with their incomparable beauty, how could they refuse. The absolute truth, but I don't know that the time of death is approaching.
When the matter came here, it can be basically concluded that the deaths of the two brocade guards must have something to do with the two women. Song Nan lowered her head and thought about it and ordered, "Sent someone to inform the state government office to arrest fast and the Jinyiwei government office. Li Zhifangjian, take more than a dozen brothers upstairs with me."
Fang Jianyingnuo couldn't help asking, "Master Nan, what are you doing with taking people up?" It's better to wait for the government to come and hand it over.
Song Nan whispered, "I guess these two women are still in this building and can kill Jin Yiwei. These two should have martial arts skills. Tell your brothers to be careful."
