Chapter 46 Song Ci of the Coffin
Cao Xiu suspected that Lei Heng on the ground was fake, firstly, out of the keen intuition of detective fans about the case, Lei Heng died too suddenly, and he didn't even resist, it felt like a cover for others, and secondly, this Lei Heng did have a lot of suspicions, based on the fact that he was also an impostor, Cao Xiu felt that it was still necessary to study in depth.
Wang Xiancheng came over at this time, and just now he learned about the situation from the mouth of the servant, Cao Xiu was framed by Lei Heng, and when he arrived here, he was also stunned by the scene in the square, but Lei Heng's crime, the crime is not death, who destroyed the Lei family? He stood beside Cao Xiu with a stomach full of questions, bowed down, and asked, "My lord?" ”
Cao Xiu raised his head, "Oh, Wang Xiancheng, let the officials find someone to carry those people in the square to Yizhuang, and then wait for the inspection to be completed, and then it will not be too late to enter the ground." As for this Lei Heng, the county must personally inspect it, and of course, the autopsy must be handed over to the county government first. ”
"All...... All? Wang Xiancheng touched the cold sweat on his forehead, the Lei Mansion is so big, the population is so large, a Yizhuang is afraid that he can't let it go, of course, this is not the main problem, the most important thing is that Liyuan County has nothing to do.
Wang Xiancheng told Cao Xiu about this problem, and Cao Xiu said strangely: "What about the high man last time?" Of course, his character is a bit problematic, and I don't dare to use it. ”
"Exactly." Wang Xiancheng glanced at him and said, "Not only that, but my lord doesn't know that on the night Gao Yanzuo was arrested and put in prison, he committed suicide by swallowing gold. ”
"Why did you make him kill himself?" Cao Xiu was a little speechless, and then said: "Then Liyuan County is just a fool?" ”
Wang Xiancheng nodded, "What the adults said is good, this work is a cheap industry, a ninth-rate thing, even if there is an old man who is willing to teach, no one is willing to learn, so generally each county arranges at most one work." In this county, if there is anything else, it is the coffin that the adults saw that day, his surname is Song Mingci, and he has been following Gao Chengzuo for almost a year, but Gao Qizuo still does not allow him to work alone. ”
"Huh?" Cao Xiu was stunned for a long time, "...... Who? ”
"Song Ci?" Wang Xiancheng was worried that Cao Xiu would not be satisfied, so he said: "If you don't go down, you will go to Linxian ......."
Cao Xiu reacted, the word Song Ci has an imaginable weight in his detective fandom, of course, Song Ci in this different world may just have the same name and surname, just a coincidence, so he didn't think much about it, listened to Wang Xiancheng's words, waved his hand and said: "No need, other counties in this county don't dare to take this murder case, or call that Song, Song Heci's help to check it, it's been a year, he should have some experience, if he doesn't understand anything, he can come to me at any time." ”
Wang Xiancheng nodded, feeling that what Cao Xiu said was reasonable, no matter what the case was on his side, there were indeed few other counties willing to intervene.
"By the way, my lord, who killed this Lei Heng family? This murderer is so cruel and murderous, it is the first time in this county. ”
Wang Xiancheng saw Cao Xiu standing up and walking out, and he followed.
Cao Xiu sneered: "Lord Wang is really a noble person who forgets things, half a year ago, wasn't the former county magistrate Song Yuanming's family also slaughtered by a group of bandits?" ”
Wang Xiancheng suddenly said: "Yes, yes, but that group of Qiuming Mountain bandits have been ambushed that night, and it can be regarded as a clear reason, and they have cleared their grievances for Lord Song." ”
"Hmph, Lord Wang is wrong again." Cao Xiu shook his head, "The Song Zhixian family was not killed by the thieves of Qiuming Mountain, but by this thunderous gang, the original Five Ghost Mountain bandits. ”
"What...... What the? Wang Xiancheng was surprised, "My lord, where did you hear that?" ”
Cao Xiu said: "Since someone found evidence and told the county, in addition, just now in the prison, when you were about to come in, the county took advantage of the thunderous turmoil and deliberately shouted loudly, and he even admitted it directly." ”
After listening to this, Wang Xiancheng thought for a while, then he understood, and then raised his hand and admired: "My lord, you are really a god." ”
said, with a look of shame, "This is all to blame for the fact that the subordinate officials did not notice, and they were deceived by the thunder thief shouting to catch the thief." ”
Cao Xiu said: "Lord Wang, don't talk about this now, it's important to move these corpses in the Lei Mansion to Yizhuang, you let that Song Ci carefully inspect it, and the county will go over to see it in the afternoon." By the way, remember to call that Zhang Catcher. ”
Wang Xiancheng nodded yes, and immediately went to order the officials to move the corpses.
Cao Xiu walked to the square and looked at the people of the Lei Mansion who were gathered in a circle, they were obviously killed by a group of people, and the other party seemed to not want him to know any secrets from these people in the Lei Mansion, but the more this was the case, the more curious Cao Xiu became.
Soon, I remembered the group of men in black I met in Jiangning City.
Just as he was guessing if they did it, Song Caiwei came from behind and asked him, "Ah Xiu, just now you said that there is a way to prove that this Lei Heng is not Lei Heng, I don't know what the way is?" ”
Cao Xiu turned around and whispered a few words in her ear.
After hearing this, Song Caiwei was surprised: "This ...... You've never heard of this method, can it work? ”
Cao Xiu said: "No matter what, Lei Heng in the front hall is indeed suspicious, I am very worried that this is the real Lei Heng's Li Dai Tao stiff plan, anyway, my method is good, although it is a little scary, but you can know if he is Lei Heng at a try, of course, we can't rule out that when the real Lei Heng locked up the fake Lei Heng, the food he gave to the fake Lei Heng every day was exactly the same as himself, if so, it was really troublesome, however, the real Lei Heng didn't expect that when he was in prison, Zhang Zhutou gave him a piece of watermelon, I thought, You can't fake that Lei Heng happened to eat a piece of watermelon. ”
"I also hope that this thunder heng is fake, so that I can take revenge with my own hands." Song Caiwei nodded, and changed her words: "But Ah Xiu, how did you know this?" ”
"Oh, it was a windy night, and an old man fell in front of my house......"
……
Cao Xiu found that his ability to lie was quite strong, but as for whether Song Caiwei believed it or not, he didn't know.
The five people came out of Lei Mansion, and after thanking the invitation of the prime minister of Wang County, they went back to Wei Caotang directly, and from tonight onwards, they will live in the county office, and the things that belong to them in the shop will naturally have to be moved.
The speed of moving was very fast, and a few small things happened in the middle, basically the neighbors were surprised to find that their neighbor was actually the magistrate, and after Yazi took back the house and wanted to return the rent, the county officials rushed to help one by one.
Don't mention these things, after moving, it was already noon, Wu Chang was sent to guard Yizhuang early in the morning, and Cao Xiu and the four of them found a restaurant to eat at random, and then followed Wang Xiancheng to Yizhuang together.
During this period, Cao Xiu also went to the blacksmith shop and retrieved a few knives that were specially made by the blacksmith master a few days ago.
Cao Yingying asked him if he was going to take these knives back to cook.
Cao Xiu smiled but didn't answer, put the knife in a wooden box, and let Zhang Hu carry it.
Only Song Caiwei knows the reason.
When they arrived in Yizhuang, it was almost overcrowded, these days, there have been several murders in a row, first the death of Wang Xiaomei, and then the Lei family was wiped out, today this body was moved from the county seat to Yizhuang, has already alarmed the surrounding people.
As soon as Cao Xiu came, naturally someone from the yamen helped him open the way.
The arrival of Xinzhi County is very eye-catching.
"Wow, this magistrate is so handsome."
"When he came, there was no wind at all, as if he appeared out of nowhere."
"But it's also unfortunate that I encountered such a case on my first day in office."
"Hey, what's that guy carrying?"
……
There are too many corpses, and a Yizhuang can't put it down, so it can only be temporarily parked in a courtyard that is not very wide.
When Cao Xiu entered the door, he saw that the young man who helped record the autopsy last time was next to a corpse, seriously doing an examination.
Wang Xiancheng had already walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and told the young man that the magistrate had arrived.
When the young man saw Cao Xiu, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and stepped forward and said, "Song Ci, the grass people, has seen the county magistrate. ”
He had already heard the official who came here say that the new magistrate was Xu Xian who helped with the autopsy that day, and now when he saw it again, he didn't make too many expressions in his heart except for shock.
Cao Xiu looked at this young man named Song Ci carefully, remembering that last time, he didn't pay much attention to him at all, and when he saw him at this time, he praised it in his heart.
This young man, with a broad face, a plump and handsome face, although his facial features are not exquisite, they can be combined together, but he has a warm temperament, he looks very soft, in fact, his eyes are resolute, and there is a heroic righteousness between his eyebrows.
Well, Cao Xiu doesn't boast, he just has special respect for the word Song Ci.
Then, he raised his hand and said, "Oh, look up for a long time, look up for a long time......"
"Huh?" Song Ci was a little at a loss, "My lord, what do you mean?" ”
Cao Xiu waved his hand, "It's nothing, you continue, don't worry about me......"
