Li Cheng did not beat around the bush, and directly put forward a request to re-examine the body of the shopkeeper Wu. At this moment, Liu Zhixian couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart, usually speaking, if the case that has been concluded, if the bitter master asks for a new examination, then he must think that there is something else hidden in it. Now that Li Laoliu has been sentenced to death, and the documents have been delivered to the state capital, if it is re-examined at this time, this will be passed out......

"Brother Li, do you want to re-check whether you think the official has misjudged the case? I don't know if you ...... this Li Lao Liu and his brother" Liu Zhixian thought back about the people involved in this case, wondering if there was any kinship between Li Lao Liu and Li Cheng, otherwise how could he rashly propose a retrial?

"Brother is too worried, although I have the same surname as Li Lao Liu, but he is not related, he is just a guy in my silk village, the reason why I made such a request to my brother is just that someone came to tell me that there is something suspicious about this case, and my brother thinks that this is also a human life, so I must be cautious." Li Cheng glanced at Shen Huan and said with a smile.

"Oh...... So that's ......"

Li Cheng's Liu Zhixian all saw it in his eyes just now, and seeing that he moved his gaze to himself, Shen Huan simply stood up generously and saluted: "Student Shen Huan, I've seen the master!"

Although Liu Zhixian is old, his memory is not bad, and he immediately recognized Shen Huan, "It turned out to be you, I remember that you came to the county government to report the case at that time, right?" ”

"The master is really unforgettable, he is a student!"

Although Shen Huan slapped a sycophant in the past, it was useless, only to hear Liu Zhixian speak: "Shen Huan, this official should see that your behavior should be a scholar, then you should also know that this investigation and trial of the murder case is not the work of a scholar like you......"

Although Liu Zhixian didn't make his words clear, Shen Huan heard it very clearly, he was reminding himself that he was still in white clothes, and he was not allowed to meddle in the affairs of the government until he became famous, and there was a little warning and threat in his tone......

Liu Zhixian's meaning Shen Huan understood very well, but now it is impossible for him to retreat, "The student naturally knows, but just like Uncle Li just said, this case is a matter of human life, and the student can't keep silent when he sees any doubts in it, Master, you have been an official for many years, so you must know the meaning of human life better than the student, right?!" ”

Seeing that Shen Huan had given himself the righteousness of human life, Liu Zhixian was speechless for a while, and Shen Huan's "Uncle Li" just now couldn't help but make him suspicious, could it be that this scholar who seemed to be a little tendoned had a special relationship with Li Cheng?

Seeing Liu Zhixian looking at him suspiciously, Li Cheng replied very happily: "He is my nephew, he has been wild in the village, and his temperament is a little impulsive.

"Where...... Where...... Hehe......"

Listening to Liu Zhixian's reluctant laughter, Shen Huan's heart was also slightly relieved, the Uncle Li he just said just wanted to climb up with Li Cheng's thighs, he had already thought about how to reply after being exposed by Li Cheng, but he never expected Li Cheng to admit it very happily, which made him unexpected...... Either way, however, things will go a lot better!

Having said this, Liu Zhixian knew that he couldn't stop it, after all, Li Cheng couldn't afford to offend him, but if he agreed like this, I'm afraid that his old face would ......

What Liu Zhixian was thinking, Li Cheng saw it very clearly, it was just worried about his face. Although Liu Zhixian is close to his sixtieth birthday and is about to retire, he really wants to leave a stain before leaving office and return to his hometown, I am afraid that this old thing will regret it for a lifetime, "Brother don't worry, fortunately, the file of this case was only passed to the state capital, and it is best if there is no grievance, but if there is really a grievance, Li is willing to go to the state capital for your brother, what do you think?" ”

"Okay...... With your words, brother, if I don't agree again, it will inevitably seem too unkind, you come with me......" Liu Zhixian had no choice but to agree......

Follow Liu Zhixian all the way to the morgue behind the county office, although it is still far away, but Shen Huan looked at the morgue in vain and gave birth to an inexplicable sense of excitement and familiarity, which made people's blood run high! In the open space at the entrance of the morgue, there are two people lazily basking in the sun at this moment, it is the old servant in the county government and his apprentice. The autumn breeze brings a hint of coolness, the sun is no longer as hot as in midsummer, and the sun is blowing the wind, which is really very pleasant.

"Uh-huh!"

The two didn't seem to know that someone was coming, until Liu Zhixian coughed and woke them up, and the two immediately stood up: "Ouch! Sir, how did you get here? Why don't you say it in advance? ”

Liu Zhixian looked at the bacon hanging on the clothesline in the yard, and chuckled: "You masters and apprentices are quite good at enjoying it?" This bacon is what you master and apprentice plan to cut and drink tonight? ”

The old man blushed and defended: "How can it! Isn't this a busy time to make some cured meat and wait for the New Year! It's a small place at home, so it's hanging here, I'll put it away hehe......"

Jiangyin County is a well-known rich county in the south of the Yangtze River, the people here are simple, there are no cases all year round, and there may not be any major cases of death in more than ten years, so it is very idle to do this position.

Seeing that the old man hurriedly took off the bacon, Shen Huan couldn't help but smile, it was like doing something bad in class but being discovered by the teacher......

Liu Zhixian and Lao Qizuo are close in age, and the two often get together to sit together when they have nothing to do, and they don't intend to embarrass him, "Okay, hang up, hang up, what are you going to do with it?" I won't say anything about you. Open the door first, and the officer will re-examine the body. ”

When he heard that Liu Zhixian was going to re-examine the autopsy, Xiao Zuozuo was suddenly a little puzzled, "Master, isn't that case already closed?" Why do you need an autopsy? ”

"If you open the door, you will open the door, and ask so much for what!"

Xiao Qizuo asked casually, but it touched Liu Zhixian's sore spot, and he didn't dare to burn Li Cheng with fire in his heart, so he poured it on him. After he roared like this, Xiao Zuozuo immediately didn't dare to make a sound......

After the bacon was re-hung on the clothesline, the old man took the key from the windowsill and came to the door, but because of the height of his eyes, the key did not poke into the lock hole a few times, so anxious that he was sweating, and he had no choice but to let the apprentice come to help. The old man is not young, but the apprentice he accepted is very young, about twenty-one or twelve years old, and Shen Huan recognized him at that time as the one who came to the village for an autopsy!

With a click, the lock on the door was opened very simply, the smell in the morgue was really bad, and it felt eerie, although the weather was not very cold, but it still made people have a kind of biting chill in the cold winter, so that Liu Zhixian They shivered coldly, but they took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, looking at him like that, as if he was between mountains and rivers......

There were a total of six beds in the morgue of the county government, and the body of the shopkeeper Wu was lying on the second bed on the right hand, and the other beds were empty, and the white cloth was covered with dust, which seemed to have not been used for a long time.

The corpse emitted a foul smell, and the old man stepped forward to lift the white cloth, and the stench was even more overwhelming, so that several people covered their mouths and noses and kept retreating, but Shen Huan was still standing there as if nothing happened......

Now that the county master wants to re-examine the autopsy, the little man can only consider himself unlucky, and he forcibly endures the pungent smell of the corpse and moves towards the corpse step by step, just when he was about to touch the corpse, he was stopped by Li Cheng.

"Didn't you say an autopsy?" Xiao Cheng looked at Li Cheng puzzled.

Li Cheng did not answer, but turned his head to look at Shen Huan, the meaning of which was self-evident......

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the two of them, Xiao Qizuo's heart was suddenly shocked, and a bad thought jumped into his heart! Maybe the scholar in front of him is likely to be Li Cheng's relation! The reason why I brought him here was to let him show his hand in front of Liu Zhixian! If he is asked to find out what he is missing, maybe the county master will recruit him into the county office! And you may be swept away! After all, Jiangyin is only a small county, the folk customs are simple, and there are very few chickens and dogs, not to mention a major murder case! Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the county government to raise two servants! Thinking of this, Xiao Qizuo was suddenly so anxious that he was sweating, and he must find some way to stop this "conspiracy"!

Just as Shen Huan wanted to reach out and touch the corpse, Xiao Qizuo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, and scolded him sharply: "What do you want to do!" ”

"Autopsy, what can you do?"

Although Shen Huan didn't care about the sudden change in Xiao Yanzuo's attitude, at this time, others had already regarded him as someone who had come to grab a job, and he was determined to get along with him, "Do you understand the autopsy!" If you have a sloppy snot, don't break the corpse! I advise you that you don't have any skills, so it's better not to mess around! ”

Shen Huan heard him say this, and subconsciously touched his nose, only then did he realize how bad his image was, because he had sneezed too much on the way just now and didn't clean it up in time, his face was dirty......

"Oh! Almost forgot ......"

After carefully cleaning his appearance and wiping off the water droplets on his face, Shen Huan noticed that there was a special piece of clothing drying on the clothesline hanging bacon, which was different from what he usually wears, but similar to the kind of apron used in cooking.

took off his long shirt, took off the anti-dressing and put it on, Shen Huan turned his back to the very unhappy little man and said, "Can you please help me tie the belt?" Thank you. ”

Xiao Qizuo frowned, he was very unhappy in his heart, he never expected that the person in front of him was already playing music before he entered the yamen! It's so deceitful! However, now that Liu Zhixian and Li Cheng are here, he didn't dare to attack at will, so he could only step forward to help Shen Huan tie the belt, but he collected it very hard, as if he wanted to strangle Shen Huan to death......

After changing his clothes, Shen Huan came to the corpse of the shopkeeper Wu, and Xiao Zuozuo took out pen, ink and paper from the drawer under the desk to prepare for the record. There's no way, although I'm not happy, but the procedure still has to go......

Carefully took off the white cloth covering the corpse from the corpse of Wu's shopkeeper, Shen Huan did not immediately start the autopsy, just closed his eyes and stood there quietly and motionless, just when everyone felt strange, Shen Huan's eyes suddenly opened, at that moment, Li Cheng seemed to feel that Shen Huan seemed to be a different person, it was so radiant, like the bright moon in the night!

"Test! The deceased, Wu Xiang, male, Chinese New Year's Eve, six feet long, strong. The corpse was swollen and the skin was wrinkled, caused by water immersion! The deceased had a number of wounds on his abdomen, three of which were caused by the deceased's death, and the wounds were flat, three inches deep and one inch wide, reaching deep into the flesh but not reaching the internal organs, and were not fatal. The skin and flesh of the wound in the rest of the parts were not curled and convex, and the depth was different, which was suspected to be caused by the cutting of the stone knife branch in the water after death! Examine! The corpse's abdomen swelled, and water flowed out of its mouth and nose, and it was suspected that it had fallen into the water before death. ”

Turning the deceased on his side, he looked behind him, "Test!" There were also multiple wounds on the back, but they were all caused by the cutting of the branches of the stone knife, the deceased's anus was not swollen, the scrotum was intact, there were no obvious strangulation marks on the neck, the hair was scattered, and the back of the head was ...... Well? ”

Shen Huan's hand touched the back of the corpse's head, and his expression became a little strange, and he commanded to the side: "Bring a razor!" ”

Without waiting for the little servant to make a move, the old servant put a tool beside Shen Huan early, picked up a razor and handed it to Shen Huan, and even helped to hold the body of the shopkeeper Wu so that he could operate better.

Shen Huan carefully scraped off the part of the hair on the head of the shopkeeper Wu, and a wound appeared in front of him, the wound was on the back of the head of the shopkeeper Wu, and the injured part had collapsed, obviously the skull was broken. The wound was small, about half the length and width of a thumb, and was covered by hair.

Shen Huan picked up the vinegar from the side and poured it on the wound, then took a clean white cloth and gently wiped the wound, slowly cleaned it, and soon a regular wound appeared in front of everyone!

"Ahh

When Xiao Qizuo saw this wound, he immediately exclaimed, and his face became extremely ugly! His performance immediately attracted everyone's attention, obviously Shen Huan had discovered something!

Shen Huan looked at the wound and didn't speak, put down the body, grabbed the hand of the shopkeeper Wu and looked at it carefully, and then picked up the hair that he had just shaved off for the deceased and carefully stroked it, and found that there were a few strands of hair with some red stuff on them, and took it outside to look at its luster and smell the smell on it, Shen Huan quickly judged what it was!

Back in the morgue, Shen Huan picked up the deceased's clothes and carefully observed them, eliminating those inconsequential traces little by little, and finally locked his eyes on a hole in the placket of his chest......

Unfastened the anti-dressing and changed into his own clothes, Shen Huan left the morgue with everyone...... After everyone left, the originally domineering little servant did not have any vigor at this time......

Xiao Qizuo's expression was all in his eyes, but he didn't know how to comfort him, and after a long time, he sighed: "Master...... I can't ...... it."
