Chapter 13: The Second Murder 2
When Wei Huan arrived, it was already dawn. Lao Chen happened to come out of the house, he grabbed a half-old white cloth, rubbed it on his left and right hands, and stuffed it into the wooden box on his back, and did not forget to sigh while stuffing it:
"I see that the prison has been in evil lately. If you can't find out if the prisoner is dead, you can't find out, so let's go to the temple and worship. ”
Su Huan stood by the door with his hands in his hands, didn't answer Lao Chen's words, and only nodded to Wei Huan, which was counted as a greeting.
"I said Lao Chen, you are unreliable, but you are talking about which way the gods are willing to take care of this in our criminal department...... As long as he is willing to take care of it, we will burn incense, kowtow, repair temples, and reshape the golden body. ”
Wei Huan is actually not in a good mood, the time to solve the case is tomorrow, nothing has been found out yet, and another person of his own has died. has to gag two sentences, purely for pleasure in suffering.
However, on weekdays, Yan Zhi is always happy with this kind of thing, why is it his turn today? As he spoke, he couldn't help but look around, and finally stopped his gaze on Su Huan's face.
"Yan Zhi is not here?"
Su Huan let out an "oh" and said in a calm voice, "I just fell asleep, and I got her to the next room." ”
Wei Huan was squinting and wondering, Yan Zhi was such a big living person, how did Su Huan get it so far away, there was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard.
"Little girl, the Criminal Department is handling the case here, you can't go in. ”
"But my dad ...... Let me come to Miss Yan. ”
"Miss Yan is inside, but who is your father?" The yacha guarding the door looked at this girl delicately and cutely, and was not embarrassed, and asked half-amusedly.
"My dad...... My dad is my dad. "It's a simple question, but it stumped the little girl.
"What does your dad do?"
"My dad is a very good person who heals diseases and saves people, but he is also very good at killing rabbits, so I don't know if he is a good person......
As soon as Wei Huan heard this clip and was entangled, he knew who was coming.
"Xiao Nanxing, didn't I tell you, Sister Yan has been handling cases these days, and I don't have time to take your father to play......"
"Deceitful..... If you're really busy, why do you run to my house twice in three days?"
"......" Wei Huan couldn't get angry with this little girl, so he had to explain patiently. "I'm looking into the case, I have something to ask your father, do you understand?"
"That's right, so my father said, you go to our house once a day, ask for one medicine at a time, when will the case be solved." He was very merciful, and simply lent me to you, so that I could follow Sister Yan for a long time. Pei Nanxing looked excited, and he didn't know what he was excited about.
"Go, go, go...... What are the girls messing around...... Aren't you afraid of the dead, let me tell you, there is a ...... inside" Wei Huan looked at this delicate little girl, and suddenly wanted to tease her.
"Huh?" Pei Nanxing took a step back, covering his mouth with his sleeve, his round eyes full of surprise, "Are dead people terrible?"
"Of course, the person died and bled from the seven orifices, his skin turned black, and many of them still had corpse gas......" Wei Huan also said casually, but he found that the look of surprise in Pei Nanxing's eyes became more and more intense, and he was quite proud.
"Hahaha...... You actually scared her with dead people...... Don't forget, he is Pei Jingran's daughter. She's cut more corpses in her life than you've ever cut meat. ”
Lao Chen walked out of the courtyard gate, laughed at him, and pretended to be mysterious and squeezed his eyebrows for a while.
What do you mean more meat than he has cut, Wei Huan suddenly remembered the scene where Lao Chen cut open Lu Hanlin's belly a few days ago, and suddenly felt that the one that was not very good seemed to be himself.
"Don't tell me, she can really help. Xiao Nanxing, go in and have an autopsy, if you see it right. I'll tell Master Xie for you, and let you follow the seven places to the end of the case. "
Wei Huan was angry, and Lao Chen didn't care what he and Su Huan thought, so he directly did the master.
When Pei Nanxing heard this, he tilted his head, showed a very happy smile, lifted his skirt and jumped into the door, and at the end he didn't forget to turn around, stuck out his tongue at himself, and made a grimace.
"The little girl was very powerful last time, I have no opinion. Su Huan shrugged his shoulders and responded to his angry expression, "But you went to Pei's house yesterday for something?"
It seems that the murderer has worked poison, and some people are involved. Wei Huan handed the list he had taken from Director Lu to Su Huan, "Yan Zhi seems to be holding on to this thing, and I don't know the specifics." ”
Su Huan took the list and glanced at it, and returned the things to him, Wei Huan noticed that his eyebrows were almost imperceptibly raised......
"Have you checked all the people on this?"
Wei Huan shook his head, embarrassed: "It's not easy to check, except for some big medical halls like the Pei family, where the source, whereabouts, and quantity of Wupu are recorded accurately, those small private workshops have no accounts to check at all, even if they shirk it, we have nothing to do." ”
"There are also some shops, I'm afraid that Master Su also knows that there are several shops on this paper, whose industry they are, and the small ones really don't dare to be too presumptuous. ”
"Eldest princess, Dingbei Hou, I am afraid that several princes in the border areas are also involved, and even the Chengguo Mansion is ......" Su Huan stopped here when he spoke, his eyes firm, "But after all, this is a human murder case, if you find these people, I will take care of it for you." ”
"Thank you, Master Su, but now the little one cares more about this Li family, she went to the prison before the crime, and Li Gaoli is the only survivor, how suspicious it is. ”
"Makes sense, what's the situation?"
"No, I want to take Yan Zhi with me......"
Wei Huan was halfway through speaking, and he saw Pei Nanxing jumping up and down from the house.
Today, she wore a dress embroidered with pink flowers on a white background, and symmetrical pink ribbons were tied in her bun on both sides, and she walked and jumped like a white rabbit that had only sneaked out of their rabbit cage.
Pei Nanxing came to this group of people and stood up obediently, but while people were not paying attention, he secretly winked at himself, and he didn't know what it meant.
"In my opinion...... The dead jailer's brother turned blue and his lips purple, and he appeared to have died of suffocation...... If you look at the results of your autopsy of the corpses in the prison, there are ..... Combined with the fact that I found a needle prick in the chest of the jailer's brother, the cause of death should be the same as that of the prisoner in the prison, which was poisoning and suffocation. And according to the color and size of the corpse spots, the time of death should be after the unitary hour last night and before the time of the end of the day (between 5 and 7 pm). ”
Pei Nanxing's voice was soft and glutinous, and the coherence was quite clear.
"That's right. Lao Chen Ke was satisfied, and couldn't help nodding, "The few apprentices I brought, if you have half the ability, I can wake up laughing in my dreams." ”
"Hmm...... In addition, the stiffness of the various joints of the corpse is very consistent, from the jaw to the elbow joint, to the knee joint, indicating that after he died, there was no sign of human movement, and there is a great possibility that he was killed in this posture sitting at the table......"
"Alright, alright, I can go home. If you have an autopsy at night, go find the young man. I'm an old bone, let me sleep a little longer......"
Lao Chen thought that he would never be dragged away by the Criminal Department for an autopsy when he drank at night in the future, obviously he was overjoyed, and his speech became more and more ridiculous, "Otherwise, Nanxing, you can just go to the Criminal Department to be arrested, I have to talk to Xie Tou'er." ”
"Ah, can girls go too?" Pei Nanxing's eyes blinked, looking at the three of them, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Yan girl, why can't you?"
"But Sister Yan is very good at solving the case...... I don't know how to ...... anything."
"It's good for her to solve the case, but when she sees the corpse, she only stares dryly. ”
Lao Chen found the dry tobacco from the box, took a beautiful puff, and sighed with satisfaction, "I have always said to teach a good apprentice to call her, but in the past few years, I don't know how to choose people, one by one, they are not as good as a girl......"
"Is it really possible?" Pei Nanxing listened to the encouragement, clapped his little hands, and his little face was eager to try.
"Oops...... It's not too late to discuss this matter later. "Wei Huan doesn't interrupt again, and the fate of having to follow the two girls to handle the case in the future will be inevitable, "Let's call Yan Zhi up first, when is this going on......"
--------------------------------------
"Li Gaoli, tell me clearly, what's going on with the five taels of silver buried in the corner of the courtyard?"
As soon as Yan Zhi and the others walked to Ji'e Alley, they heard a woman's voice, piercing through the clouds and making people's temples beat drums.
"What can it be...... That's it......" In comparison, Master Li obviously lacks confidence.
"In order to get you out, all the coffins I have saved over the years have been scraped clean! You still dare to hide money behind my back, you are so bold in this prison, right?"
"Li Gaoli, you give me an explanation as soon as possible, did you raise a sister-in-law fox outside!"
"Madam, it's just five taels of silver, and you still raise foxes, and you can't buy fox fur..... I'll be honest, it's just occasionally, it's really occasional...... I want to go to the alley to drink two or two drinks......"
"Fart! Of course I know you're hiding your money for drinking, so admit it. You look like this ghost, and you dare to drink!"
Everyone only heard the sound of something smashing on the courtyard wall, the boss of the "bang", and the ground was shattered, and then there was the sound of Li Gaoli snatching the door and fleeing.
"Madame is angry, and the five taels of silver are kept for Madame to buy rouge. I suddenly remembered that the clerk's paperwork for the last month hadn't been finished yet, so I took a step first......"
Li Gaoli just saw the right time and jumped out of the courtyard door, but saw that the two familiar Zhukuai and Master Su both looked at him with shocked expressions, as if they were the ones who had been scolded just now, not himself.
"Hey...... Master Su, the two of you are catching quickly, why are you free today, and you came to my house?"
