Chapter 126: A Strange Way to Die
A few people hurriedly came to Qiao's house, and as soon as they walked to the door, they found that the people of Qiao's family had begun to arrange the mourning hall and hung up white lanterns, but few people wore filial piety, probably because they had just died, so they did not wear linen and filial piety.
At this time, the housekeeper Yu Anshi hurriedly walked into the guest room, and said to Master Qiao and the second aunt in the room: "Master, second aunt, the adult is here in person, look..."
When the words came to his lips, before he finished speaking, Master Qiao patted him on the shoulder: "I understand, I understand." ”
Then, this old man Qiao came outside with the housekeeper, and said with a smile to Fu Xiaotian: "My lord, you are here, come in, do you want to have a cup of tea?" ”
"By the way, I have some copper coins here, you take it, a small amount of money, not a tribute." As he spoke, this Master Qiao took out half a copper coin from his arms and handed it to Fu Xiaotian.
And Fu Xiaotian took the copper coin suspiciously, and looked at him at a loss: "Master Qiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
When this old man Qiao heard this, he was a little surprised and said, "What? Adults, are you too little? Not enough for me to have it here. ”
Now, Fu Xiaotian is puzzled again, this, what is this? Overt bribery? It's really a long time to see, presumably, it is the problem left by the original county magistrate, this Master Qiao probably thinks that Fu Xiaotian is also a corrupt official, so he will be like this.
However, Fu Xiaotian resolutely refused to accept it, he didn't want to get rich, if it wasn't for the emperor's order to be violated, he didn't want to be this official. Isn't it good to be a small rich man at home? Why bother to wade into this troubled water?
"No, no, you better take it back, if the official doesn't accept gifts, don't confuse me with the former county magistrate." While speaking, Fu Xiaotian returned the copper coin.
"You better take me to the scene of the crime to have a look, by the way, your aunt's body, have you moved?"
At this time, the housekeeper Yu Anshi said on the side: "There are no adults, only the maid has gone in, and after she found out, she immediately ran out and reported to us." After that, I hurried to find you, my lord. ”
"Oh, that's right."
"Okay, you take me to my aunt's room, and I'll take a look."
After finishing speaking, Yu Anshi walked in with Fu Xiaotian and the others, and as for the second aunt, she cautiously followed behind Master Qiao, which is not surprising, after all, it is normal for women to be afraid of corpses.
No, Yang Sili is still afraid of seeing dead people so far.
Pushing open the door of the room, I saw that the aunt was lying on the bed very peacefully, still covered with a quilt, very peaceful, as if she had died naturally.
At this time, Fu Xiaotian turned around and shouted, "Who was the first to find out that the aunt was dead?" ”
As soon as the words fell, a plainly dressed maid came over and said to him: "My lord, my name is Xiaohuan, I was the first to find my aunt, I went to her room and knocked on the door for a long time, but she never woke up." Later, I pushed the door and walked in, and found that my aunt was no longer sound. ”
"And have you touched anything else?" The maid was stunned for a moment, and then said, "No, after I found out that my aunt was too dead, I hurriedly ran out because I was afraid." ”
Hearing this, Fu Xiaotian probably understood some of the situation, so he said to everyone: "You are all waiting outside, I can go in alone." ”
In order to keep the scene, the fewer people, the better, so Fu Xiaotian didn't let anyone else in. Slowly walked to the side of the aunt's bed, only to see that the aunt's face was pale, and her lips were black, and there were already obvious corpse spots on her body.
This shows that it has been about two or three hours since the aunt died. And looking at the black appearance of her lips, it seems that she was poisoned, because only people who die of poisoning will have such black lips.
Then, Fu Xiaotian lifted the quilt of his aunt again, and saw that there were still traces of blood on her clothes. Isn't it poisoning? Did you guess wrong?
In order to verify his idea, under the gaze of outsiders, he slowly untied his aunt's clothes. Now, I finally saw it clearly, there was a knife wound on the belly of this aunt, but this wound still looks very big, how can there be only so much blood.
This is indeed very strange, and then, Fu Xiaotian's hand and claw stretched out to the corpse's dirty clothes again, and suddenly, Master Qiao, who was outside, saw this scene and shouted: "My lord, please respect my deceased wife." ”
Fu Xiaotian was stunned, thinking, your aunt is dead, and you are not sad, why did you become like this now?
However, Fu Xiaotian did not stop the movements in his hands, and still went his own way. At this time, this Master Qiao didn't talk nonsense anymore, just because Ban Yunyun directly put the sword on his neck and warned him: "Don't talk nonsense, didn't you see my father-in-law investigating the case?" ”
Fu Xiaotian is the same, on this aunt's body, some saliva was found, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. Moreover, Fu Xiaotian also found some liquid and some curly hairs under her.
This is enough to confirm that this aunt had sex with others before she died, could it be Master Qiao?
Fu Xiaotian turned around and asked Master Qiao behind him, "Let me ask you, did you have sex with your aunt last night?" ”
Master Qiao shook his head: "No, I was with my second aunt all the time last night." ”
"Second aunt, what he said is the truth?" Fu Xiaotianying raised his eyebrows and asked seriously.
"Yes, my lord was with me all the time last night and never went out."
"Well, what's going on? Could it be that there is someone else? Or, this guy who has sex with his aunt is the murderer? ”
Hearing Fu Xiaotian's words to himself, this Master Qiao was immediately angry, looking incredible, waiting for his eyes, his nose was about to be crooked: "What, you said that she had sex with someone else before she died?" Damn, this stinky bitch, shameless! ”
Fu Xiaotian carefully observed the appearance of this old man Qiao, he really didn't know, this expression and eyes really can't be pretended, even if it is a powerful expression management master, this kind of unknowing anger can't be done.
"Yes, that's true, but it's a strange death, and I can't jump to conclusions for the time being."
"That, little friend Yang Sili, carry her back to me and hand her over for an autopsy, and I will observe and observe."
