Chapter 13 There are strange things in the case
Leaving from the Jiang family, Gu Mandong took the lead in going to the county office.
Take out the letter of appointment, the people of the yamen who were in the yamen were also clear about the matter of Wanxuanlou yesterday, and they would see the letter of appointment in Gu Mandong's hand, but they didn't make a fuss, at most, they just looked at her a few more times and remembered it.
"Nine sons, the child is in this courtyard. When Gu Mandong stepped into the courtyard, a nurse was holding the child to breastfeed, and hurriedly turned around, but even so, the nurse was already frightened to get dressed in a hurry.
"Nurse, this is the ninth son, the one who assists the adults in solving the case, you quickly give the child to the son to take a look. ”
"Yes. ”
The nurse hurriedly hugged the child and came over to show Gu Mandon, her head was very low, and she didn't dare to raise her face at all, as if she was a woman who was a nurse for the first time, and her face was thin.
Gu Mandong took the child into his hand, carried it directly to a cooler place under the eaves, stared at the child carefully for a moment, and then looked around, but did not see the figure of the embroidered girl in red.
However, this kid can also see a faint trace of yin qi between his eyebrows, but there are yin spirits who have come to see him, but this yin qi is very thin, not like the work of a person who has been dead for a long time, it feels more like the work of a newborn soul.
The appearance between the child's eyebrows is not half similar to the embroidered lady's red dress, and it should never be the son born in the coffin of the dead.
Generally speaking, the son born of a dead man has a lot of yin qi on his body, and it will take at least several years to completely dissipate, but this child has a trace of yin qi between his eyebrows at most.
Returning the child to the nurse, Gu Mandong already knew it.
The child's mother is probably already unlucky.
"Brother Officer, may I ask if there have been any murder cases recently? For example, the discovery of a woman's body. After leaving the courtyard, Kumandong asked the official who led the way.
"Returning to Gongzi, there has been a recent case of embroidering the girl's red clothes, and there have been no cases of women dying in vain. ”
Actually not.
"Can you ask to see Master Jia?"
"My lord has instructed, if the son asks to see him, he can go directly to the welcome hall and wait for a while. ”
"Then there's work. ”
Came to the welcome hall of the back yamen, and after Gu Mandong took a moment, Jia Guang and the county magistrate of Qi County arrived.
"Your Excellency. Kumandon stood up and saluted.
"No need to be polite. Jia Guanghe waved his hand, motioned for Gu Mandong to sit down, looked at it for a moment or two, and said with a smile: "You are the Gu Jiu Gongzi in the mouth of that kid, I didn't expect to be so young." ”
"Adults can not entrust important responsibilities because they are young, and adults are also good. ”
"Hehe, the official just wants to give young people more opportunities. I heard the people below say that you want to see this official, but I don't know what is going on?"
"Thanks to the newcomer entrusted to investigate the case of the embroidered lady in red, I have seen the rumored child born in the coffin today, but I have a few questions in my heart, I hope the adults will solve their doubts. ”
Jia Guanghe raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea.
"Oh, if you have any questions, as long as you can help solve the case, even if there are some abrupt officials, they won't blame you. ”
"Thank you, sir. The first question I want to know is, who was the first to discover the child?"
"To be exact, the first person to be found was a man named Wang Er, but it was the tomb keeper of Yizhuang who got the child out. ”
"Wang Er, could it be that Wang Gazi in the mouth of the people, a tomb robber who crows chickens and dogs?"
"Exactly. ”
"I found that there was a living child in the coffin of the embroidered lady's red dress that day, what strange things happened nearby?"
"Not really. What's wrong?"
"Don't you know if you can be trusted?"
"This ......"
"It's normal for adults to have concerns, but can you please ask your adults to send someone to check around the suburban cemetery to see if there is anything wrong? I believe that the grave keeper who is responsible for taking care of the cemetery will know better what is different. In addition, please also ask the adults to investigate whether there is a body of a woman who died suddenly in the past few days in the nearby county town. ”
Jia Guanghe is not a mediocre talent, when he heard Gu Mandong say this, his eyes immediately lit up and asked: "Could it be that you suspect that this child was not born of Xiuniang Hongyi, this is not a so-called strange force and chaos, but is involved in another murder case?"
If this is the case, it means that the case he originally decided was not a dereliction of duty and a wrong judgment, but had another reason.
"The same can't be said for that. Although there is no definite evidence, the case in red is indeed strange, and after it is clarified, I will report it to the adults in the future. Now I have explained the origin of the child first, so as to reduce the rumors in the city a little, at least this matter is clear, but it is good for the reputation of adults. ”
"But how do you know that something may have happened to this child's biological mother?"
"Then ask the adults, how can a mother run to the cemetery to give birth to a child, and abandon the child there, attracting all kinds of ghosts and gods, and being indifferent. It's not bad for adults to check it, and it can show the dutifulness of adults, so why don't adults do it?"
After Jia Guanghe stared at Gu Mandong for a while, he couldn't see any way.
After thinking about it carefully, he didn't have a clue now anyway, and it was nothing to check it out, so he nodded and agreed to Gu Mandon's request.
With the help of the government to investigate, Gu Mandong turned to Xiangmanlou to try to see if he could meet the Xianggongzi, and maybe he could get some useful information from him.
When he came to Xiangmanlou, Gu Mandong happened to see Jiang Tianluo and Jiang Hang leaving.
How could this Jiang Tianluo suddenly appear here, could it be that he found something and came to find Xiang Gongzi?
Just as Gu Mandong was about to ask for a meeting, he was held down on the shoulder and turned around.
"How about you. Gu Mandong wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at Mo Jinyan, it was really a haunting feeling, and he could meet him anywhere.
"Are you here to Xiang Gongzi?" Mo Jinyan's first sentence was to ask, but his eyes were unusually determined.
"You know I'm here to find Xiang Gongzi. ”
"I saw you appear in Xiang Gongzi's embroidery building last night, and now you appear here again. In addition, Jiang Tianluo's dead face also came to find Xiang Gongzi, so I guess you also came to find him. I didn't expect you to match that dead man's face, and they both came to the same person. Did you find something that couldn't be done?"
"Want to know?" asked Gu Mandong with a raised eyebrow and a chuckle.
Mo Jinyan rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "Jiang Tianluo's dead face can come to Xiang Gongzi, if Xiang Gongzi has nothing to do with the red clothes, how can it be." ”
"Now that you know, you still ask. However, do you know how Jiang Tianluo's investigation is?" asked Gu Mandong after thinking about it.
