When Su Qi and the others arrived, the fire had almost been extinguished, and Zhang Cuihua personally led people into the medicine store to check, only to find a burned corpse under the medicine shelf.

Seeing Su Qi and them coming, Zhang Cuihua's face was solemn: "Doctor Su, do you have a way to identify him?"

The corpse was scorched black, and he couldn't even recognize his appearance, and Su Qi didn't understand the autopsy, but Xu Xinglong was in the town, Su Qi discussed it with Changsun Yan, and Changsun Yan informed Xu Xinglong to send someone over, and Zhang Cuihua sent someone to meet him on the dock.

Zhang Cuihua asked everyone in the village to go back first, and after Su Qi carefully examined the corpse, he frowned and said: "The deceased has some ash in his mouth and nose, but the bottom of his throat is clean, that is to say, he is already dead before the fire burns, otherwise, the person who is burned alive will inhale a lot of smoke in his body, and a large amount of smoke will remain in his internal organs." ”

Zhang Cuihua seemed to have guessed something, and said, "In other words, he died before the fire started?"

Su Qi nodded: "It can be said that this corpse may not be Gou Lao." ”

Zhang Cuihua's face was suddenly solemn, she didn't know what she was thinking, Ye Weiyang also went over to check the corpse, she was more skilled than Su Qi in this regard.

Su Qi walked over and asked, "How is it?"

"She shouldn't be Gou Lao, although the body is almost burned, but judging from the tooth part, Gou Lao is old, and his teeth are loose and yellow, but the teeth of this corpse have no signs of loosening. ”

"In other words, he may really not be Gou Lao?" asked Su Qi.

"It's not entirely certain yet. ”

Ye Weiyang is cautious, and she will not make judgments until there is conclusive evidence.

Su Qi looked at Zhang Cuihua: "Please also ask Master Zhang Zhai to check if there are any missing persons in the village." ”

Zhang Cuihua nodded, and immediately ordered someone to do this, and after half an hour, his subordinates came back to report his life, saying that a middle-aged man in the village was missing.

After Su Qi figured out the identity of this young man, he looked at the corpse again, and felt that this corpse was the middle-aged man nine times out of ten.

After another ten minutes, Xu Xinglong rushed over with people in a hurry.

Su Qi briefly told Xu Xinglong about the situation, and Xu Xinglong breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought you had an accident and scared me to death." ”

Xu Xinglong immediately asked his subordinates to go over to do an autopsy, although the equipment here is limited, but the basic autopsy work is not difficult to complete.

"Commander Xu, the time of death of this body was probably between 7 pm and 7:30 pm today, the cause of death was death by suffocation, aged between 34 and 36 years old, some smoke residues were found in the mouth and nose, and not found below the throat. ”

Su Qi looked at the autopsy officer: "In other words, the deceased was already dead before the fire started?"

Although Su Qi had already come to this conclusion before, he was still a little shocked when he heard the conclusion of the autopsy personnel at this time.

The autopsy officer nodded and said, "So to speak, and the loose muscles of the deceased's body also indicate that the deceased did not have any traces of struggle before he died, and it should be an acquaintance who committed the crime." ”

Su Qi asked a few more detailed questions with the autopsy staff, and after the autopsy staff answered carefully, it was already certain that the deceased was not Gou Lao himself, so where is Gou Lao now?

Su Qi said to Zhang Cuihua: "In addition to the wharf, is there any other way to leave the village?"

Zhang Cuihua shook her head, "No, the village is surrounded by water on three sides, and you can only leave through the dock, I have confirmed just now that Gou Lao did not leave the dock." ”

"Is it because Gou Lao didn't leave the dock, or did no one find out?" asked Su Qi.

Zhang Cuihua was stunned for a moment, and immediately called someone to go to the dock again, and the dock said that almost two hours ago, a fishing boat left the dock, because it was a boat in the stockade, so it was not carefully checked.

Su Qi's face sank: "Gou Lao is likely to have left on a fishing boat, Brother Xu, please send someone to chase after you immediately, I hope to catch Gou Lao." ”

The three-pattern Juding Grass is extraordinary, the purpose of Gou Lao's three-pattern Juding Grass is unknown, Su Qi is worried that this matter is related to Xuguzi, so he must find a way to find Gou Lao as soon as possible and figure things out.

Xu Xinglong immediately contacted his subordinates, contacted the local police, and dispatched all the men and horses who could be dispatched.

had no sleep all night, but Xu Xinglong's people never found Gou Lao's whereabouts, and no suspicious characters were found in the various levels set up.

Su Qi and the others waited all night, but they didn't get any news.

Seeing that the sky was already dawn and Gou Lao was missing, Su Qi and they didn't plan to continue to stay in Miao Village, they had already obtained the three-pattern Juding grass, in order to avoid a long night dream, Su Qi wanted to rush back to the wooden building as soon as possible, and heal Tang Xue'er first.

Xu Xinglong left a team of people to continue to look for people in Miao Village, and he personally led people to escort Su Qi and them back to the wooden building safely.

After returning to the wooden building, Su Qi didn't dare to delay for a moment to treat Tang Xue'er.

Su Yunian also heard about Miao Village, and when Su Yi talked about Gou Lao, Su Yunian's face changed slightly: "Do you know what the name of this Gou Lao is?"

Sue shook her head, "I don't know. ”

"Is there a photo of him?" asked Su Yunian.

Su Yi nodded, went to get an Ipad over, flipped to the photo of Gou Lao and handed it to Su Yunian, Su Yunian saw Gou Lao's photo, his face froze: "It's him!"

Su Qi looked at Su Yunian: "Su Bo knows him?"

"Even if he turns to ashes, I can recognize him!, I didn't expect him to be alive!" Su Yunian said in a deep voice.

"Who is he?"

Su Yunian put down the Ipad in his hand, his face was a little stiff, and said: "His name is Gou Yuechuan, he once studied medical skills with Xuguzi for a period of time, and then I don't know why, he was expelled from the division by Xuguzi, but I didn't expect that he was still alive." ”

Su Qiyi was stunned, when did Xuguzi have an apprentice?

But listening to Su Yunian's meaning, this Gou Yuechuan was expelled from the division by Xuguzi, what did Gou Yuechuan do to make Xuguzi so angry?

"Su Bo, what the hell is going on?" asked Su Qi.

Su Yunian didn't seem to want to recall the things about Gou Yuechuan, but the matter had come to this point, and he had to tell the things about Gou Yuechuan.

After a while, Su Yunian sighed and said: "Gou Yuechuan is an orphan, living on the street and almost starving to death, it was Xuguzi who picked him up and took him back to Yaohuang Valley and taught him to learn medical skills. ”
