At night, the sound of insects and frogs in the summer night is endless, and you can see fishing boats passing through the city everywhere, and the fishing fires move with the waves, which is quiet and peaceful.

Wen Qiran and Wen Qiniang's father and daughter returned to the county office, and Nie Zhutou was already waiting there.

"Did Nie Zhutou find out?" Wen Qiran asked.

"No witnesses were found, because the heat was scorching and it wasn't the farming season, so there was no one in the fields." Nie Zhutou frowned, "Lord Wen, have you found the corpse?" ”

Wen Qiran looked at Qi Niang and motioned for her to tell her the results of Lin Bai's test just now.

Wen Qiniang stated the results of the test just now in popular words, and took out the blue cotton thread after speaking.

Nie Zhutou took the cotton thread, with a burst of disappointment in his eyes, he thought that there was a major discovery, but he never thought that it was just a cotton thread, this kind of thread is all over the street, do you want to go to the comparison of one piece of clothing and one piece of clothing in each household?

Wen Qiniang saw the disdain in Nie Zhutou's eyes, smiled slightly, and didn't intend to explain, put away the cotton thread again, and continued: "Zhou County's stomach has no water, no foam in his mouth and nose, and no water, grass and mud in his hands, if a person is drowned, then after he enters the water, his lungs will inhale a lot of water, and there will inevitably be aquatic weeds and mud in his hands during the struggle, so it is preliminarily concluded that Zhou County's order is not drowned, there are bleeding spots in the eyelids, the symptoms of suffocation are obvious, and there are scratches on his hands and feet, If Zhou Xianling was indeed thrown into the river after his death, then the wound should have been sustained while fighting the murderer, and if the first place of the crime can be found, perhaps more clues can be found. ”

Wen Qiran nodded, and said in his heart that this Lin Divine Doctor is quite a set, not only can heal people, but also can perform autopsies, which is really a rare talent.

"But it's not easy to find the first scene of this crime, Hanjiang County is so big, I'm afraid that if we don't find it, Mrs. Zhou will have a seizure this week, and she came back angrily, I heard her mutter, you don't let Lord Zhou enter the ground as soon as possible, you have to make trouble."

"Let her go, we are also acting in accordance with the rules, there are many suspicious points in this case, we can't turn a blind eye and pass it." Wen Qiran said coldly.

"What the adults said is extremely true, she is a woman and short-sighted."

"Please ask Nie Zhutou to find a map of Hanjiang County for me." Wen Qiniang said suddenly.

Wen Qiran and Nie Zhutou glanced at each other, and neither of them understood what Wen Qiniang wanted to do at this time.

Wen Qiniang looked at the map and circled a place with a brush.

"According to my observation of Zhou Countyling's corpse, he should have been soaked in water for more than an hour."

Wen Qiran was slightly stunned: "According to your observation? ”

Wen Qiniang instantly realized that she had made a mistake, and said calmly: "This is what Doctor Lin told me, my daughter has learned a lot from Doctor Lin today. ”

"What is a floating sheepskin?" Nie Zhutou said with a blank face.

Wen Qiniang hid her face and smiled: "If a person soaks in the water for a long time, his skin will wrinkle, and he is like a drifting woman." ”

Nie Zhutou didn't seem to understand, although he still didn't understand what this had to do with sheepskin.

Wen Qiniang pointed to the place that was circled out and asked, "Is this the place where Zhou County's order was discovered?" ”

Nie Zhutou nodded: "This river is called the Xuan River." ”

"If we can know how far the body of the Zhou county order can drift in an hour, we can circle the scope of the crime site, which can save time and manpower." Wen Qiniang said.

Wen Qiran thought for a while, and said, "I think this method is feasible and can greatly narrow down the search range, what do you think?" ”

"I'm going to test the flow." After Nie Zhutou finished speaking, he strode out of the door.

Wen Qiran looked at Wen Qi Niang's sweat-soaked forehead, as well as the dust on his face, and felt inexplicably guilty in his heart, he had been ignoring Qi Niang for so many years, although he was a father, he didn't know anything about his daughter, Wen Qi Niang's appearance was completely inherited from her mother, that is, Mrs. Wen at the beginning, this is also the reason why Wen Qiran has not liked to see her for so many years, every time he sees Qi Niang, he thinks of the dead Dong Nanyin, and his heart is bitter, and over time he alienates the most favored concubine, even on the way to demotion the official, Qi Niang almost died, He just took a look, and then irritated people to invite Lang Zhong, and his heart was still worried about his official career.

Wen Qiniang saw that Wen Qiran's face was red and white for a while, she didn't know what he was thinking, her body was very tired, and she said, "Father, my daughter will rest first, and you should rest early." ”

Wen Qiran nodded, how can he sleep now, this case is very tricky, and if he doesn't handle it well, I'm afraid that his official career will come to an end.

The next day, as soon as Wen Qiniang finished washing, she saw a group of young and old walking in.

"Uncle and second uncle, you can count it." Mrs. Zhou took a few steps to meet her, crying and saying.

"Don't worry about your niece and daughter-in-law, I and your second uncle will be in charge of everything after death."

The speaker was an old man dressed as a businessman who was nearly half a hundred years old, and there was a slightly younger man standing beside him, who should be the eldest uncle and second uncle in Mrs. Zhou's mouth, these two people had burning eyes, and they were shrewd people at first glance.

"What the eldest brother said is very true, with the two of us to deal with the aftermath of my nephew, my nephew and daughter-in-law can put a hundred hearts at heart."

"My nephew and daughter-in-law have thanked the two uncles, Brother Yun, and I can't come to Xie Lu Xie Uncle Xie and the second master." Mrs. Zhou called her son over.

Wen Qiniang looked at this Yun Ge'er, but he was only four or five years old, and Mrs. Zhou was only two years old, and Zhou County Ling was still close to the age of confusion, just like a pair of old husbands and young wives, if Zhou County Ling did not die, it would also be a harmonious family, but unfortunately this orphan and widow has now become a fish on the anvil, and let others slaughter without knowing it.

"Where are Bingchun's bones now?" Uncle Zhou stroked his beard and said.

Mrs. Zhou snorted and said half-paid: "Originally, I had already experienced that my husband was drowning, but Lord Wen said that there was something strange and did not let my husband enter the earth, so my nephew and daughter-in-law had to invite the two uncles to come immediately. ”

Uncle Zhou and Uncle Tuesday glanced at each other, and their four eyes turned a few times.

"Where is Lord Wen now? Let me consult with him. Tuesday Bo said with a smile.

"Who's making a fuss here?" Wen Qiran walked over with a cold face.

"Grass people Zhou Bokuan, Zhou Boping, have seen Lord Wen!" The two of them knelt down and saluted.

"Lord Wen, these two are the deceased uncle's uncle and the second uncle." Mrs. Zhou wiped away her tears and said.

"Condolences." Wen Qiran said lightly.

The two old men glanced at each other and blamed each other a few times, and Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "I don't know if Lord Wen can let the grass people take away the bones of his nephew, so that he can be buried in the ground." ”

Wen Qiran's face turned cold: "There are many doubts in this case, and it can't be as the two of you wish for the time being." ”

The faces of the three of them froze, Mrs. Zhou looked at the two uncles with eyes asking for help, and the two old foxes looked at Wen Qiran's face that was the same as the bottom of the black pot, swallowed their saliva, and held back the words, they still understand the reason that the people do not fight with the officials, and they are not in a hurry for a while.
