Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Creditor Arrives
This exclamation startled Zhou Heng.
This is in the Yamen, otherwise, Zhou Heng really wants to raise his leg and kick this dog thing aside.
It's so shocking, it's really scary.
Isn't it just reasoning based on the traces of the corpse and the scene?
This divine decision can't be called at will, Liu Renli is here, isn't this a slap in the face?
"Don't say that, Yi'an hurry up."
Liu Renli also looked at Zhou Heng, this person was really erudite, he only thought that he had superb medical skills before, but now he realized that he knew too little about Zhou Heng.
"Zhou Gongzi is observant and can integrate the clues of the details, which is really breathtaking, but the official still has something unclear."
"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"How do you know it's a loved one?"
Zhou Heng got up and walked in front of Liu Renli and held up the picture drawn by Zhou Yi'an on the table.
"First, the liquor store is being rebuilt, the previous guys have left, and the manpower required for the new store has not yet been recruited, and Wei Jichen is left in this store, that is to say, Wei Jichen's previous buddies and the owners of the goods have all been liquidated, and there is no entanglement of money, and the intention of seeking money or seeing wealth can be ruled out."
"Second, after sunset, when you visit an unopened store with such a rare fresh fish, you must have acquaintances or relatives, but friends must go to the restaurant to show their sincerity and will not be in the store. is so willing to spend money, buy eight signature dishes, and want to eat quietly in the store, this is a close relative who has not been seen for a long time, Wei Jichen is willing to break the bank. ”
Liu Renli stared at Zhou Heng, this assertion was too worthy of scrutiny.
Zhou Yi'an saw that Liu Renli didn't speak, he leaned forward, his eyes seemed to see a wolf with meat, and he was shining with a faint thief's light.
"Uncle Shi, Yi An wants to ask a question, you said that the deceased was in a coma with a serious head injury, how could he still scratch the wooden cover? Besides, the wine vat is hidden, and the design is too elaborate, is the murderer calculated? ”
Zhou Heng glanced at Zhou Yi'an and laughed.
"These two questions are asked to the key point, the injury at the temple of the deceased, I have seen and pressed with my fingers and there is a clear bone fricative, you must know that the position of the skull in the temple is the weakest, although there is a side bun blocking it with a stick, it still causes a fracture of the skull instantly, if you cut the epidermis of the deceased's head, you will see a concave fracture in the shape of a club."
Zhou Heng paused and said again:
But the blow did not kill the deceased, and from the fact that the stick was thrown in the house, and the blood stains on the door lock, it can be seen that the man was either emaciated or extremely panicked. If the calculation is made, the stick will not be left at the scene, and when the deceased faints, he thinks that he is dead, so he disposes the person in the vat, which is equivalent to burying the person there. ”
Zhou Heng raised his hand, raised it above his head, his head tilted and arched, Zhou Yi'an saw that he was imitating Wei Jichen's movements.
"You see, if you are thrown in the tank, you will be choked up in an instant when there is no air, and if one hand is clamped, you will struggle desperately, but you can't use force in the tank and can't turn it over, so you scratch the lid, leaving amazing marks. As for the murderer, I want to fasten the lid, loot the silver and run away! In order to prevent the surrounding people from seeing, the door panel was carefully closed, but it was carried out at night, and it was not found that the blood stains on the hands had been stained on the door bolt. ”
Zhou Yi'an recorded quickly, knelt down at Zhou Heng and saluted:
"Uncle Shi forgives the crime, Yi An wants to go to the scene again, take down the palm prints on the wooden bolt and stick, if the criminal is caught, he can compare it, this ironclad evidence cannot be denied, and the case can be solved."
Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli, this is to give himself eye medicine, the real magistrate is sitting in the hall, you ask me what to do, can I let you go?
Fortunately, Liu Renli didn't care about this, and waved his hand and said:
"Master asked Cui Dianshi to explain, from today onwards, Zhou Yi'an will be in charge of the autopsy in Qingping County, and he will order him to go down and send two messengers to follow and go to Wei Jichen's wine shop to collect evidence."
Zhou Yi'an thanked him in a panic, and then several people went to get busy, and Zhou Heng also got up.
"My lord, then I take my leave!"
Liu Renli nodded, "Thank you Gongzi Zhou today, this official will send someone to send you back!" ”
Zhou Heng hurriedly shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, I still have to go to the pharmacy to purchase some medicinal materials, and when the nobles of Meiyuan recover, I will come to the door to discuss the details of the operation, as for where the operating room is built, it depends on whether I can find a suitable shop." ”
Liu Renli was stunned, but he didn't expect Zhou Heng's plan to be very detailed.
"Shop, when do you have a choice?"
Zhou Heng sighed, "Don't hide it, I fell in love with the shop of the wine shop at the beginning, so I came forward to inquire, who would have thought that I also found bloodstains, but it can't be used at this time, I'll look for it later." ”
This time Liu Renli didn't stop again, after all, taking care of the nobles in the plum garden, Zhou Heng could calmly design surgery for his little sister, looking at Zhou Heng's distant figure, he suddenly remembered something and beckoned to an errand officer.
"Please come here, the official wants to see the yellow book of Lingshan Village."
......
Zhou Heng carried the first-aid kit on his back and walked out of the county office quickly.
The shouting along the street came and went, a boy with a blue apron smiled, holding a toothpick-sized skewer, and kept selling on the street, and the words Lingshan glutinous rice lotus in the distance were very eye-catching.
"Uncle, try the osmanthus honey glutinous rice lotus, you can buy it after eating, if it is not delicious and does not cost money, give it to the child to taste!"
The man on the other side wanted to refuse.
However, a seven or eight-year-old boy who was leading it, with an excited face on his missing front teeth, grabbed the stick, swallowed the glutinous rice lotus, and kept nodding his head with round eyes.
In an instant, he shook the man's leg and prayed: "Daddy, buy a bunch for Xuan'er, Wen Che of the third uncle's house next door has eaten it several times, and he always squats at the door of the school to eat, and that bunch is only five cents." ”
The man couldn't help it, so he paid for it, and the little boy named Xuan'er hummed while eating, enjoying his face.
A few people around watched the excitement, and when they saw that the child was eating so sweetly, they quickly surrounded the kid, and after a while, they went out with more than a dozen people holding lotus leaves.
Look at the sky, the sun is already a little west at this time, I remember that Boss Xue once said that there is a horse shop in the West Market that is the gathering place for all the people who buy glutinous rice lotus.
Zhou Heng looked at the shops on the street, and sighed slightly, let's put it away if the shop can't be found.
Let's take a look at the sales of glutinous rice lotus root first, after all, this daily income is very considerable.
Walking a few hundred meters to the north, there were more and more people, and the road leading to Xishi was not found by Zhou Heng for a while.
Raising his eyes and looking around, he unconsciously walked to the Xinglin Medical Hall, sighed, or came in here and asked, how to get to the West Market.
Zhou Heng walked to the door of the medical hall and was about to step in.
I saw Erlin, limping to a fat old man dressed in brocade, swaying in, standing in the hall with the spirit of Wang Ba.
Frowning, glancing around.
"I said, "What about your shopkeeper? The account is not yet offset by the shop, it is written in black and white, how to think about the debt, or want to break the promise, when our plum garden is a soft persimmon, do you want to take a look? ”
Zhou Heng was stunned, hearing this, the shopkeeper seemed to have borrowed money from the fat old man, but the fat old man was under the banner of Plum Garden, and he didn't want to collect the house.
At this moment, Erlin was followed by seven or eight sturdy men who shook their heads and tails, and entered the infirmary with their arms crossed, and the people who grabbed medicine and saw the doctor were all thrown out.
Doctor Ma was also set up, a guy covered his dark eyes, kept humming, and the shopkeeper Huang looked angry.
"How do you beat people, I can't get the money back, Desheng go get two hundred and twenty taels of silver tickets!"
Erlin sneered, bowed to the fat man, and then shook an account book in his hand, constantly tapping in his palm, and walked to the front of the yellow shopkeeper unhurriedly.
Licking his fingers, he twisted open the ledger and flipped to a page number with creases, and held it up to show the shopkeeper Huang and the onlookers outside.
"Don't worry, see clearly, don't say that our Fourth Master Pei bullied you, this is written by your Huang Zongming, borrowing two hundred taels of silver for a month, and it is scheduled to be repaid on the seventh day of August with interest, a total of two hundred and thirty taels, yes or no?"
