Chapter 129: Upper Yamen

Hua Shangxue rolled her eyes, and she was only speechless for Yu Miyao's increasingly childish behavior.

What a good little boy when I first met, gentle and elegant and patient enough to deal with her various little requests, I feel like a brother next door to be likable.

Why has this guy been getting more and more childish since yesterday? This image has been subverted too quickly.

"Yu Miyao, you are two years older than me, your brother's age, how can you show such an unambitious appearance, it is too subversive to my senses. If you don't want me to turn away from you, please don't talk to me in this immature manner. Hua Shangxue looked at Yu Miyao with a straight face, but she was not afraid that he would be angry because of this, and said resolutely.

Yu Miyao's face fell, but she slowly returned to her serious expression and was no longer funny.

"My proposal is not nonsense. The reason for this request is to remember that the Xuanwang Mansion is in Xijing City to investigate this matter. Although I can also check, it's not as good as Yun Jinze, the head snake, some doors still need him to open, and I, an outsider, still lack something. As for pulling another Jinse, it's just an excuse for him to do his best. Today, you can also see what Yun Jinze's attitude towards that Jinse is, if she is involved, Yun Jinze, who originally gave eight points of strength, will at least have to give twelve points of strength to perform well, do you think I am reasonable? "Yu Mi Ying is not funny, she talks about things seriously, but she really has a bit of indescribable momentum.

This kind of jade Mi Yao looks much more pleasing to the eye, and it is a bit of the feeling when I first saw it.

"That's right. I'll talk about that at the feast tonight. But. Before that, I think we should go to the yamen, at least to see the results of the autopsy, whether it was a homicide or an accident, and sometimes the judgment of the fake can also be used as a reference. After all, we learned after the fact that some things were not as clear as the people in the yamen. ”

"It's no problem to go to the Yamen, but before that, you can walk around, and you may have unexpected gains." Yu Mi said with a smile, taking a sip of tea with an elegant demeanor.

"Okay." Hua Shangxue nodded. I can't say that I have to look at the corpse after the worst. If she watched it before lunch, she was afraid that she would lose her appetite, so she might as well eat to her heart's content.

Leave the teahouse and park the carriage in the open space at the entrance of Mochizukiken. A group of fourteen people began to go shopping.

Guanghe Street is very long. It is at least three miles long. In addition to the shops, there are wandering merchants and vendors, as well as fixed stalls. The variety of cheap little things is dizzying.

The poor buy some bargains on the stalls, and go directly into the shop with a little money, plus some flavor snacks, and go down all the way, but also save the money to enter the restaurant, and eat all kinds of small objects all the way to the price of a few pennies, and these girls have a lot of fun.

In September, the service flowers are familiar with the snow and the car, and they are more thoughtful than the maids of large families, and they are also ready to go.

A few big men were almost reduced to coolies, helping to carry things, but they didn't complain, anyway, there were a lot of people who came, and it didn't take much effort to hold the bits and pieces in their hands.

Seeing that the time was almost up, everyone was a little tired, so they chose a restaurant called Baizhen Building, booked a large box for eating, and everyone had a hearty lunch at the same table.

After lunch, take a break in the private room.

"Uncle, in the afternoon, you take Sister Min'er and them around again, the four of us are going to go to the Yamen to learn about the affairs of Mochizuki, so we will temporarily part ways with you, and gather at Mochizukixuan to return to the palace when the time comes, what do you think?"

Uncle Qi Fei put down the teacup in his hand and thought about it.

"Since you are going to the Yamen, it is better to let Su Yong follow you, the guards of the palace are also familiar with the people of the Yamen, and it will be more convenient for you to ask some things."

"Well, it's okay for me to follow, although the identity of Yu Gongzi is extraordinary, but sometimes the people in the yamen still pay more attention to familiarity or not, and some things have the habit of keeping their hands." Su Yong responded, but he was happy to take this trip.

"Then it's decided, are you going to leave later or now?" Hua Shangxue got up and asked.

"Let's do it together. I'm full anyway, so it's not fun to stay here. Uncle Qi Fei responded, everyone also nodded, took the things and left Baizhen Building, fourteen people went separately, the things bought naturally Uncle Qi Fei continued to carry, and the five of them went to the Yamen of Xijing City.

There is not only one yamen in Xijing City, but five.

According to the direction, east, west, north and south is a branch yamen, and the general yamen is in the center of Xijing City. In the case of a homicide, the sub-yamen under the jurisdiction of the sub-yamen will sort out the investigation and report to the general yamen for trial, and some troublesome things involving the children of the family will be tried by the general yamen, and the four sub-yamen also have officials sitting in the town, and the official position is equivalent to the county order, and the general yamen official is equivalent to the position of the government order, and the four yamen are in charge of the four yamen.

However, in this Xijing City, the biggest official still belongs to King Xuan, no one dares to offend King Xuan, and naturally he does not dare to embarrass the people of King Xuan's mansion.

The place where Hua Shangxue went here belonged to the West Yamen, and Guanghe Street belonged to the jurisdiction of this sub-yamen, and the occurrence of the murder case was the first to get the news and come to investigate.

Letting Su Yong come with him was undoubtedly the most correct decision. With Su Yong by his side, it became simple to enter the yamen to inquire about the news of the incident in Mochiyue Tower, and the other party had to answer all questions, and did not dare to hide anything.

Hua Shangxue reported her identity as the owner of Mochizuki Xuan, and asked September to show what Mochizuki Xuan belonged to, a land deed, and a deed of a shop.

"The death of the money shopkeeper, after a good investigation, did not find anything abnormal, there were no obvious wounds on the body, and it was judged that when he died suddenly, he inadvertently knocked over the oil lamp and caused the Mochizuki Tower to catch fire and be burned." The master took the autopsy report submitted by the master and said something to the top, and said to Hua Shangxue and a few people.

"How do you tell if the deceased died suddenly?" Hua Shangxue asked as she thought back to the simple content of the autopsy in her memory about the murder investigation.

I don't know how the technique of the autopsy in this world is?

"Although the money shopkeeper was burned to death, there was obviously no strong struggle, and the posture before death was to maintain the posture of lying on the ground, plus although the body was seriously burned, there was no grass and wood ash in the mouth, and there were no suspicious injuries found on the body, so the judgment was made."

Listening to the master's explanation, Hua Shangxue was a little speechless. The absence of plant ash in the mouth indicates that the person was burned after death, which is reliable.

It is a bit reckless to hastily judge the cause of the deceased's death just based on this little bit of verification.

Although she is not a person in the autopsy industry, she also feels that such a judgment is too arbitrary.

It is said that the money shopkeeper died suddenly, that is, the person had lost his breath before being burned by the fire, and he let the fire burn fiercely without struggling, and the body was burned to the end.

How to determine such a corpse must be the money shopkeeper himself, or it may be replaced by someone else.

As for the statement of sudden death, it is even more outrageous, who can guarantee that it was not killed in advance and then set on fire?

From the degree of joint damage to the corpse, the shape of the bones, and even whether there are traces of attack on the brain, these are all clues to the case.

However, you can't blame others, it's good that this is an ancient place, and the concept of autopsy is not so advanced.

"Master, this person who was burned to death should be unrecognizable now, how do you conclude that this person is the money shopkeeper?" Hanauexue asked.

The master listened to Hua Shangxue's question, let go of the booklet in his hand and responded: "The wrench on the hand of the money shopkeeper has been identified by acquaintances as indeed owned by the money shopkeeper, and the body shape and height match, so it is judged that the identity of the deceased should be the money shopkeeper himself." ”

"Is it too arbitrary to judge the identity of the money shopkeeper with only one wrench?" Hua Shangxue asked again.

Master's brows couldn't help frowning, revealing a hint of displeasure.

"Naturally not, in addition, the wife of the money shopkeeper, Qian Shi, has come to the government to confirm, saying that the money shopkeeper's toes are missing, and it was an accident more than 20 years ago that caused only four toes, which coincided with the characteristics on the corpse's feet, so it was concluded that this person was the money shopkeeper." The master explained, the original businesslike tone, seemed to be slightly heavier because of Hua Shangxue's questioning.

Hua Shangxue didn't feel anything about this, she just felt that she had to answer her doubts, and opened her mouth again.

"If this person is a money shopkeeper, can he find a fatal wound on his body? For example, there are suspicious holes in the head? ”

Master's face sank slightly, "Isn't it true that Miss doesn't trust the Yamen's work and thinks that our autopsy is wrong?" ”

Hua Shangxue saw the master's face that was about to turn into ashes, and knew that his previous words should have angered the master, so he hurriedly answered: "Of course not, I just felt it." I once had the privilege of knowing a master who once mentioned the matter of doing an autopsy. The master said that if the head is hit to a certain extent, it can cause death, especially if it is pierced into the head with a sharp object, which can kill a person without leaving a visible mark. There was once such a story, about the death of an outsider, said that the strangeness of the death of the outsider, the youngest son has always suspected that his father's death is related to the stepfamily, spent a full twenty years looking for clues, and finally risked great disrespect to open the coffin for an autopsy, and found an inch-long iron nail in the bones and skulls outside the hospital, proving that the death outside the hospital was not a sudden death, but a murder. Whoever kills the outsider is the steproom. After listening to the master's words before, I wondered if the yamen could verify the deceased's head and make sure that there was no foreign body? After all, if something like an iron nail smashed into the skull, there must be a hole in it, and even if it was burned to the ground, there should still be a trace. That's why I asked for this, and I hope that the master won't be surprised. (To be continued......)
