However, I know how the murderer killed the person, but the cause of death of the dead body is still unsolved, and all the evidence points to the deceased drowning, but why is there no water in the lungs?

Hu Xiu frowned, he couldn't figure it out, could it be that the murderer had come up with some clever tricks, but he hadn't figured it out yet?

"This water is dirty, but it's also cold, if you put it in the summer, you are really thirsty, and you can drink it."

Xin Dutou sat on a plate, staring at the bucket in front of him, as if he was a little stunned, he actually wanted to drink this water, and he didn't know how many parasites there were, and he was not afraid to drink himself to death.

"Xin Dutou, what did you just say?"

Hu Xiu seemed to be woken up by a word, but he didn't know that sentence woke him up, so he asked urgently.

"This water is dirty."

"One more sentence."

"But it's also cold..."

"Yes, that's it, if I'm right, it all makes sense!"

Hu Xiu slapped his palm excitedly, why didn't he think of it at the beginning, this Xin Dutou is really a lucky star.

"Hurry up, go back to the yamen."

"Ah~ back to the yamen again?"

Xin Dutou was stunned, he came to Doctor Zhang's house, how could he go back again, he didn't rest for a day and a night, although he was not particularly tired, but he was very thirsty, besides, he followed Hu Xiu to Doctor Zhang, but he wanted to go back to Yamen, such a pastime, there will always be some gas accumulation in his heart.

"When you go back to the yamen, you can drink the water, and when this case is over, how about I invite you to Mochizuki Tower to eat and drink?"

"Mochizuki Tower?"

Xin Dutou's eyes lit up, this Moon Tower is a famous restaurant in Ping'an City, even if it is not a private room, it will cost a few taels of silver to eat at will, if the dishes ordered are more expensive, you can ask for a dozen taels, and no one dares to make trouble there, because it is backed by Hu Wangfu, and the power is huge.

"Then listen to the adults, hehe~"

How can there be any reason to disagree, he earns a month a month, but ten taels of silver, plus his subordinates will pay him tribute, and he can also get a few dozen taels of silver in a month, but this money is not blown by a strong wind, so on weekdays, it is rare to go to this kind of restaurant that costs a lot of money.

As for the matter of paying tribute, it is not surprising, this kind of behavior is a potential rule, and if you don't "go along with it" in officialdom, then you will be unexpected, and you will be suppressed everywhere.

You want to be high, and you want to be proud in officialdom, if you want to think like this, you are really thinking about fart.

……

Ping'an City, Yamen.

"Sure enough!"

Looking at the thin strangulation mark on the waist of the dead corpse in front of him, this confirmed his thoughts even more. At the beginning of February, the weather was still cold, and the corpse was still not easy to decay, so the traces on the body could still be seen clearly.

And Shi Ling'er, who was watching from the side, was much calmer than he thought, but his eyes were red, and there was no other discomfort.

And Xin Dutou is outside, in his words, if he doesn't drink water, he will die of thirst.

"Ling'er, the real murderer is already clear in my heart."

"Really? You didn't lie to me just to coax me. ”

Shi Ling'er's eyes flashed, strange and pitiful.

"It's true, have you ever seen me lie to you? I'm going to catch the murderer right away, and when the time comes, it's useless to say more about what is true or false, and I don't need to lie to you about this. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to catch the murderer."

Shi Ling'er took the initiative to step forward and hooked Hu Xiu's wrist, and the little bird leaned on Hu Xiu's body and kept warm for a while.

Out of the mortuary, I found Xindutou.

"My lord, the things you asked me to arrange have been arranged, and it is estimated that the results will be obtained soon."

This water-filled Xin Dutou is different, full of energy and the previous style of judging the two of them.

"What do we do next?"

"Wait, wait for the result."

As soon as Hu Xiu turned around, the seats in the yamen were brought over two, one for Shi Ling'er, and the other sat down by himself, as for Xin Dutou, what? Want to sit? Bring the chair yourself.

Subsequently, there was another spectacle in the yamen, and the three "idle people" drank tea and chatted, but no one dared to come up and say a word of gossip.

Want to gossip? Don't you want to work anymore?

Waiting, really waiting for the result, an acquaintance, Qian Zhutou, he attached a word to Xin Dutou's ear, and then, he put his hand into his arms, took out a piece of paper, and put it in his hand.

The corners of Hu Xiu's mouth rose, and Yu Xin looked at each other's heads, and each smiled, knowing it in his heart and knowing it in his heart. Sometimes, as long as all the clues are connected, the murderer will surface.

"Bring the people involved in the case, it's time to reveal the truth."

There are not too many ceremonies, this Dahu's yamen is not a department that tries cases, only responsible, judgment, arrest, and there are three positions set up in it, starting with a total of nine Kowloon Admirals, and there are also head catchers and fast catches below, and after that, it is the supernumerary system of Xiao Shi, and there are thousands of people in Xiao Shi in the entire Ping'an City.

But think about the number of people in Ping'an City, there are millions, these thousands of people are in charge of these millions, and there are few Hu leisure, but in addition to the official organization of the Yamen, there is also the secret prison mansion, and the Taichang Temple that specializes in trying cases, etc., so think about it, it seems that the number of people is a little too much.

However, no matter how Long Duo is, he is not in Hu Xiu's current control, he can't control it, and he doesn't have the strength to manage it, and he still has a very clear understanding of himself.

At this time, all the people involved in this case have been gathered, including Sang Ping, the third son and the fourth son of [Jishitang], Yan Yun, and Zhang Qishen, who had just been pulled out of the gambling house.

This kid, his father is dead, and he still has the heart to gamble! He heard Xiao Shi say that when this person was pulled out of the gambling house, he wanted to give him such two feet for a while.

Zhang Chengyuan really poured blood mold and gave birth to such a bastard son, the day after his father died, the son was not sad at all, and went to the gambling house to gamble money, you see this...

When everyone gathered, Sang Ping happened to be standing next to Zhang Qishen, isn't this a coincidence, the two glanced at each other, and the "enemy" was very red when he saw each other.

Zhang Qi's body stared at the dark circles under his eyes, and he punched it, and Sang Ping turned his body slightly to the side, and dodged.

Sang Ping is wearing a torn rotten clothes today, but it is a little different, yesterday he was still wearing regular clothes, although there is some smell on his body, but he has not seen his clothes torn.

Subsequently, Zhang Qishen threw a few more punches one after another, but he couldn't even touch the corners of Sang Ping's clothes.

"Enough!"

Hu Xiu slammed the table and stood up, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, who does this kid really think he is? Dare to make trouble in the Yamen? Think you're hard? Or do you think you're dying?

"Hu Shizi..."

Zhang Qishen was dizzy from gambling, and then he remembered that this was the yamen, and he was just about to defend a few words. was kicked to the ground by Hu Xiu, and there was another burst of punches and kicks, and the fists and feet were specially greeted in the face, this guy's face, he was disgusted when he saw it, so Zhang Qi's body was quickly beaten into a pig's head.

"Whew~"

After kicking the last kick, Hu Xiu stood up, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, turned around and passed by Sang Ping's side, and glanced at this kid with some deep meaning.

I haven't seen him for a day, how can I see that he seems to be a little different suddenly, no matter how weak Zhang Qi's body is, but the punches he hit are solid and really hit, how could he be dodged so easily?

"Since everyone is here, then I won't hide it, this time I called everyone to come to end this case, and I have found the real culprit."

Hu Xiu propped his hands on the table, his eyes swept towards the people in the hall with scrutiny.

"The real murderer? It's definitely you~"

Zhang Qi's body didn't seem to have been understood, he stood up tremblingly, and pointed at Sang Ping again, Hu Xiu was a little itchy again, if it weren't for the fact that he was the son of Doctor Zhang, the truth would give him a sword now.

"Silence!"

After slamming the table, the lobby finally fell silent again.

"Yan Yun, are you guilty?"

With this question, all the eyes in the lobby gathered? Yan Yun is the murderer? How could it be... Even if it is said that the third son and the fourth son killed it, it is better than saying that it is said that he said it.

"Yan, what is the crime?"

"Killing [Jishitang] Doctor Zhang, is this considered a crime?"

"Hu Shizi is joking with Zaixia?"

Yan Yun's expression fell, he knew that Hu Xiu had a huge force behind him, and if he insisted on convicting him, he would have no choice.

"Are you kidding? What you think is the perfect modus operandi doesn't work with me. ”

Hu Xiu's words were right, his eyes were staring at Yan Yun, and his fingers kept tapping on the wooden table.

"What Hu Shizi is saying, Yan doesn't understand."

"Okay, if I don't show you the evidence, I'm going to rely on me and put the evidence on it!"

Seeing that Yan Yun's mouth was not soft at all, he had to bring the evidence.

I saw a few little histories, all carrying a stinky gray robe that had been dripping with water.

"The deceased, Zhang Chengyuan, worked with me the day before, and he was wearing this outfit at that time, but now he is discarded in the abandoned ancient well of his house."

"That can be killed by someone else, or the clothes can be lost by others, why should you suspect me?"

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

Hu Xiu picked up the teacup at hand and took a sip.

"Evidence!"

Then, two more Xiao Shi came in, each holding a teacup in their hands.

"Brother Yan, do you still have an image? Oh~ I forgot, there's another teacup here that is your family, I'm sorry, I took it privately, I'm really sorry. ”

Yan Yun just glanced at it, and then didn't say a word, and the head that was originally raised also lowered, and then it was raised again.

"Shizi, when did you start doubting me?"

"When we met for the first time, at that time, I went to the medical hall to find the medicinal materials I wanted, and you told me that Doctor Zhang was not here, and you agreed to gather at the medical hall at the time of the day to pack up the medicinal materials together.

You waited and waited and waited, and then you packed it up yourself, and it was not until I came that it was very well packed. There are no mistakes in these words, even seamless, but you overlook a lot of details.

You said that you came at the end of the day, and that you had collected the herbs for an hour (two hours), and that you were still packing up before I came, but at that time I saw that your face was not red, and that you were neatly dressed, and that you had changed your clothes from yesterday, and that I was closer to you and smelled the honey locust.

Of course, these are not enough, the most important thing is that the candle lit high behind you makes me suspicious, and this candle is not cheap, and by the time it comes, the sky is already cloudy, and there is no need to light the candle anymore, but the candle you just lit seems to have been specially lit for me. ”

Hu Xiu bowed down and looked at Yan Yun, the murderer, his criminal methods were clever but not very clever, he knew the methods of murder in the closed room, knew how to use the difference between time and space to seek his own time to kill, and even to obtain his own alibi.

But maybe it's the first time to kill someone, there are too many loopholes, Hu Xiu is embarrassed to say more about him, he is a genius, if Hu Xiu is allowed to kill people, he will only kill people with his sword, and if he really wants to engage in some conspiracy, he will only be poisoned.

"Hehe~ I was careless, but if I am given another chance, I promise to do more perfect than this time."

When Yan Yun said this, he admitted that he had killed Doctor Zhang, but there was no trace of remorse on his face.

"Then you want to hear about the process of 'my' crime?"

"I want to hear about it."

Yan Yun smiled slightly.

PS: A candle usually burns for more than an hour.
