In a small courtyard in Tongzhou County, there are white flags hanging at the door, oil lamps are lit in the hall, and the door of the room behind the hall is closed. She knew that the temperature in that room was extremely low, freezing cold, and the floor was covered with ice, protecting Feng's corpse. She only hoped that Lian Sheng would finish the matter quickly and leave here early, looking at the room, and then at the old woman sitting opposite, Xu Yan couldn't help but clasp her hands together, she was a little nervous.

In the dimly lit room, the wrinkles on Mrs. Feng's face were like knives, and her eyes that had been swollen into peaches the day before yesterday were slightly festering, but she stared at Liansheng with great light, eager to see something from the face of this "old woman".

Lian Sheng looked at the old woman, looked at her eyes levelly, and said as tactfully as possible: "Old man, I have checked the corpse grid filled in in detail, and I have also checked Ling Yan's body, which matches the corpse filled in. ”

"What does that mean?"

Since the day before yesterday, she went to Shuntianfu to complain and invited the "old lady" to Tongzhou, Mrs. Feng has been asking the Bodhisattva for blessing every day. Tonight, Liansheng suddenly came to her house with people and servants, she thought that she could redress her daughter's grievances, full of hope, at this time listening to Liansheng say this, and then seeing the apprentice of this "female master", fidgeting, Mrs. Feng vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"That means that the prefectural decree's verdict is correct." Lian Sheng bit his lip, and finally said, "Ling Yan was indeed crushed to death by the wall. ”

"Nope! That's impossible! In the middle of winter, how could the wall fall? No rain, no snow. Just in winter, will the good fence fall? I don't believe it! Mrs. Feng's spirit was almost hysterical, she jumped up all of a sudden, and then fell to her knees with a thud, and kowtowed to Liansheng with a bang: "Female master, female master, you are the eldest master of Qingtian, please check it carefully, my daughter died unjustly, she told me a dream." said that he was killed by the Qin family. ”

"Old man. Hurry up. Lian Sheng and Xu Yan went together to pull her up. This thin old woman couldn't fall like a root, and Liansheng could only say with a straight face: "Old man, I sympathize with you for the white-haired man sending the black-haired man. But the case is clear. I can't just go and wronged the Qin side. As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day and dreams in the night. You miss your daughter too much to dream of her, how can such a ghost and god theory be recognized as evidence of a crime? ”

It turned out that Mrs. Feng, who came to the door the day before yesterday, was originally from Tongzhou. The husband is a tried-and-true talent, who is a tutor as a teacher, and there is only one girl named Xiulan under the knees of the two. After the death of Feng Shushi, Mrs. Feng and her daughter depended on each other, and last spring, her daughter married the only son of the Qin family, who opened a pharmacy in the same city, and was nicknamed Qin Yishou. This Qin Yishou is not very old but very capable, he has learned from his family since he was a child, and the medicine he prescribes always works faster than others, and he is very famous in Tongzhou. The young couple was originally Hehe Meimei, but four days ago, the Qin family suddenly came to report that the Feng family was crushed to death by the wall in the courtyard.

Mrs. Feng believed that the Qin family had murdered her daughter, and went to the county government to beat the drum to complain, and the county commander ordered the servant to inspect Feng's body and determined that it was an accident. After Lian Sheng roughly understood the situation the day before yesterday, he hurried to Tongzhou with Xu Yan to start investigating the case.

Lian Sheng first checked Feng's corpse against the corpse grid that had been filled in, and to her surprise, Feng Xiulan's corpse was quite well preserved. It turned out that Mrs. Feng loved her daughter very much, and at the same time she was quite knowledgeable, so she bought a lot of ice to preserve the body at home, and now it is winter, and the weather is getting cooler, so the body has been preserved very well in the past few days. The external scars on the corpse were indeed as written on the corpse, which were basically bruises from masonry or facial abrasions, and there was dust on her mouth and nose, indicating that she had been buried by the rubble and dirt of the wall or had been buried for a long time. This also proves what the Qin family said, the incident happened that the old couple of the Qin family went to the temple to offer incense and did not return, Qin Yiyi was working in the pharmacy, because the collapsed wall was in the inner courtyard of the Qin family, no one found it for a short time, and when the second elder of the Qin family returned home, they found that they were already powerless to return to the sky: Feng was pressed by the collapsed earth and stone and had died of exhaustion.

Today, Liansheng took Xu Yan to visit the neighbors near the Qin family and learned about the specific situation of the Qin family.

"The little lady of the Qin family is a virtuous person, and she has a good temperament, in the end, she is the daughter of the Xiucai family, she is knowledgeable, she is filial to her in-laws, and the old shopkeeper is not satisfied."

"Yes, yes, the little couple is also harmonious and beautiful, it's really unpredictable, how can they be so hard."

"It's really bad luck, who would have thought that a good wall would fall." The neighbors near Qin's house were talking nonsense.

When the seven aunts and eight aunts were really verbose, it was already evening when Liansheng's master and apprentice returned to the county office, Liansheng found the master again, called up the interrogation records of Feng's case, and finally determined that Feng's death was purely accidental, and she was very unlucky to be crushed to death by the collapsed wall. So the master and apprentice hurriedly came to Feng's house after dinner and reported the matter to Mrs. Feng.

In the end, Mrs. Feng couldn't break free from Liansheng's master and apprentice, and was helped up. Hearing the old man of Shuntian Mansion say this, Mrs. Feng felt that she had completely lost hope, she pushed Liansheng away and rushed to the back room The door of the back room slammed open, and a cold breath immediately penetrated, Xu Yan was frightened, and Liansheng said: "Don't be afraid, it's just a corpse." ”

"Xiulan, Xiulan, you died so unjustly...... The old lady won't help you, how can I live. ”

The old woman howled and threw herself on the corpse on the bed, and suddenly there was a scream, Lian Sheng was worried that Mrs. Feng was in a hurry to attack the heart and brain hemorrhage, so she hurriedly rushed over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

There was no light in this room, the moonlight outside the window faintly penetrated, and I could vaguely see the scene in the room, I saw Mrs. Feng standing next to her daughter's corpse, her hands stretched out, as if she would not bend, Lian was afraid that she would be lost in grief, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Old man, Ling Yan ......"

"Blood, it's blood! She's bleeding! The old woman straightened her hands in a strange motion.

"Xu Yan, bring the oil lamp!"

Xu Yan carried the oil lamp, standing at the door and didn't dare to enter, Lian Sheng took the oil lamp from her hand, the morgue was instantly much brighter, only to see Feng Lao Taiping's hand was really smelly blood, Lian Sheng was shocked in his heart, held the lamp and opened the tent, and was surprised to see two lines of blood and tears in Feng's eyes lying on the ice!

This scene is really weird, Xu Yan happened to stand at the door and look over, as soon as the oil lamp was turned on, Feng's miserable white face and blood and tears came into view, Xu Yan was frightened, and asked tremblingly: "She shed blood and tears." ”

"It's blood, but it's not necessarily tears!"

A female student from the Department of Forensic Medicine at Liansheng University once said that a male classmate from her high school drowned while swimming in the river, and after her family rushed to the morgue, the classmate's eyes suddenly shed two lines of blood and tears.

"My classmate's mother fainted at that time." The female classmate sighed and continued: "I didn't understand at the time, I really thought that the classmate was reluctant to his mother, but now I know that it is because the drowned corpse will bear water pressure in the water, and the pressure in the body will gradually decrease after being salvaged, and the position of the throat mucosa will also begin to accumulate blood after leaving the water, and the blood will begin to seep out when the body is moved. The nasal cavity and lacrimal glands are connected, which is likely to result in so-called bloody tears. ”

"What about the kind of poisoning and bleeding that is talked about in novels and TV dramas? Is it possible? At that time, Liansheng asked curiously.

"The decomposition of corpses starts in the abdominal cavity first, and the gas in the abdominal cavity expands, and some blood may also form."

In the flash of light, Liansheng remembered the words of the female classmate, so she whispered, "This is not a grievance, this may be the corruption of internal organs." ”

"Hahaha! Absurd! Mrs. Feng laughed dryly, then suddenly retracted, and pointed her blood-stained finger at Liansheng: "My daughter is wronged, she is crying, do you see it?" Lady! My daughter and you are as old as ever, she is only eighteen years old, both are women, how can you bear to watch her have grievances and can't sue, and hate Jiuquan! ”

"Old man, listen to me."

"The world is as black as a crow! I've seen it today! Lian Sheng looked at Feng's pale face, and felt very uncomfortable. Mrs. Feng was stimulated to the point of madness, but she couldn't ignore the facts and the law just because of sympathy.

Lian Sheng stared at Feng's corpse, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, she reached out and pressed Feng's stomach, and Mrs. Feng screamed: "What are you doing?" ”

"It's strange, the body is well preserved, there is no sign of swelling in the abdominal cavity, where did this blood come from?" (To be continued......)

PS: Holding hands together when I speak, is the habitual action of my female boss when I first worked, she was an intellectual beauty back then, and now she is still a well-known psychologist, but at that time she was not engaged in the psychological industry, she didn't know that her unintentional habitual actions leaked her inner tension. When she discussed it with me, she was actually not confident in her heart, and she was very introverted. To paraphrase a recent internet phrase: However, I have long seen through a qiē.
