236 The torture of conscience

() "When you perform an autopsy, do you find survivors?"

For six years, this question has always haunted Jun Qinglan's mind. Although she knew very well that no one would escape in such a situation, she ...... She was never willing to give up hope.

"Nope." Huang Yuan shook his head decisively: "Although this case happened six years ago, the scene is so tragic that the old man will never forget it for the rest of his life." Don't say it's human, even the dogs in the nursing home have been burned black. ”

Jun Qinglan closed her eyes, and she already knew the answer to the question. However, after receiving the confirmation, her heart will still be uncomfortable. No life is still alive! The Qin family, together with the subordinates, has a total of more than 200 people. Overnight, there is no life left!!

"At that time, who were the corpses that were personally examined by Huang Lao?" Jun Qinglan's voice was slightly astringent, but she didn't forget what she should do, she only took a deep breath, and she had already returned to normal.

"There are Lord Qin and his wife, as well as Lord Qin's sons and daughters."

"Tell us more about your findings."

"Their deaths are much the same." Huang Yuan groaned slightly and said: "When the corpse was found, it was already seriously charred, there was no trace of water in the body, and the abdomen was stiff and black. When he died, his limbs were unnaturally curled up, and it was obvious that he was in great pain before his death. ”

Jun Qinglan took her advice book and tried to record what Huang Yuan said. However, her fingers suddenly stopped obeying, and she trembled so much that she could not even hold the brush. Without warning, Li Congyao approached and snatched the brush from her hand.

Jun Qinglan looked sideways, and the man beside him had already held the advice book in his hand: "You just ask, I'll remember it." ”

"Okay." Jun Qinglan glanced at Li Congyao gratefully.

Most of the cases she has investigated in the past six years have been homicides, and every time she sees the sufferer at the scene of the crime, she will be sad and break down. She also slandered them in her heart for being too vulnerable, and she didn't know until the matter was put on her that even a calm person could not face the life and death of her relatives, it was a heart-wrenching pain.

"Elder Huang, the death you just mentioned can indeed be preliminarily concluded to be burned to death by fire. However, there is often a subtle truth hidden beneath the surface that is too obvious, and with your old style, you should not just look at the superficial death and stop the investigation. ”

Jun Qinglan took a breath and said, "I have already said it, please know everything." In order to save each other's time, please cooperate with us. ”

Huang Yuan's gaze shrank slightly, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"Huang Yuan, do you remember Qin Zhao?"

Li Congyao's voice made the bodies of both people in the courtyard tremble. Qin Zhao's name, none of them can forget, it is the eldest son of Qin Yu, the envoy of Nanyang Jiedu, and the elder brother of Jun Qinglan.

"I heard that Qin Zhao respected his teacher, was humble and studious, and was the only personal disciple you were proud of, wasn't he?"

Jun Qing's blue eyes stared at Huang Yuan. The relationship between Qin Zhao and Huang Yuan is a secret. Qin Zhao is a son of a family, with a noble status, and he won the promotion at a young age and has a great future. It was only because Qin Yu didn't want him to get involved in officialdom too early and wanted to give him more experience that he let him enter the county guard mansion to do an ordinary catch.

However, there is such a person in this world, no matter where you put him, he will always find it worthwhile

A place to learn on your own. Qin Zhao was attracted by Huang Yuan's superb skills, and did not hesitate to put down the figure of the family and humbly seek advice from Huang Yuan. Huang Yuan was also attracted by the young man's willfulness and intelligence, and the two hit it off. However, due to Qin Zhao's identity, the relationship between them was not made public, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to both of them.

However, this secret was not a secret to the Qin family at all. As Qin Zhao's most beloved sister, Jun Qinglan naturally knows everything clearly. She not only knew that her brother had solved many cases with Huang Yuan, but also knew that her brother sincerely admired Huang Yuan's knowledge and character, and respected him.

She told Li Congyao the secret, but at this time, she told him to tell it coldly. Do you want to attack the heart?

There is no doubt that Qin Zhao's name played a role. Seeing that Huang Yuan's straight back showed a bit of unnatural rickets.

"Qin Zhao's body was personally examined by you." Li Congyao half-squinted his eyes and said lightly: "I don't know, what kind of mentality do you have when you look at your former disciples and confidants lying in front of you in such a way?" ”

"Don't ...... Besides! Huang Yuan took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling violently. The old man's body trembled like a leaf destroyed by a hurricane in that moment, and it seemed that his life could be ended in an instant.

Jun Qinglan was worried, for fear that Huang Yuan would continue to shake like this again, and if he accidentally passed, then today's trip would outweigh the losses. However, looking at the determined gaze of the man beside her, she quietly swallowed the worry that came to her mouth.

"The Qin family is a Qin criminal."

After a long time, Huang Yuan seemed to have finally breathed this sigh of relief, but there was clearly a bit of excitement in his eyes: "It's only because Lord Qin is in a high position and powerful that his case is widely implicated, so he didn't take them all into prison as soon as the case occurred." However, whether they are imprisoned or not, they will not die well. ”

Huang Yuan sighed: "According to the Northern Xia Law Calendar, a prisoner like them is not allowed to be buried even if he dies. The corpses would be thrown into cliffs, mountain streams, or mass graves. After death, no monuments shall be erected, no graves shall be set up, and violent corpses shall be in the wilderness to set an example. However....... ”

Huang Yuan took a deep breath: "Lord Qin is a good official, and Qin Zhao is a good boy. I can't bear to look at ...... secretly picked up the bodies of their parents, brothers and sisters and buried them in a mass grave. Although the mass grave is still not a good place, it can be regarded as burying them in the end. ”

He raised his dim old eyes and swept slowly over Jun Qinglan and Li Congyao: "The two of you are nobles in Beijing. I don't know why you suddenly brought up Lord Qin's case, and I don't know if this matter is good or bad. But I don't regret what I did. This secret has been hidden in my heart for six years, and now I have nothing to fear when I tell it. My life is short, and if you think it's not important to keep it, just take it. ”

"But!" Huang Yuan's voice gradually became solemn, and his eyes became tenacious: "If you want to say that I am insensitive and don't care about the life and death of Lord Qin and Qin Zhao, I can't agree!" ”

Jun Qinglan's fingers tightened suddenly, and she could clearly hear her heartbeat. It turned out that the bodies of his parents and brother were buried by Huang Yuan? Does it mean that if she can overturn the case for her father, she will be able to bury them well one day.

"Tell me, where did you bury them?" Jun Qinglan's voice trembled a little, but she didn't care anymore, nothing was more important than the whereabouts of her parents and brother.

"Wanted me to tell you about this ......." Huang Yuan squinted, his eyes flickered, and he said slowly: "You have to tell me the truth, who are you, why do you want to ask Lord Qin's case?" ”

"That's not something you should know." Li Congyao was not angry, and was still as indifferent as before: "You just need to know that there are not many opportunities for you to answer our questions in your own house." ”

Huang Yuan was stunned for a moment and slowly lowered his head. He hid his gaze under the messy gray hair, and no one could see his emotions. After a long time, he raised his head, and before he could speak, a low cough overflowed from his mouth.

A low cough is like a flood that opens a floodgate, and once the gap is opened, it can no longer be contained. Huang Yuan's complexion turned gray in the continuous coughing sound, and he gradually lost all his blood, and the strength around him was also wiped clean at that moment.

It was only at this time that Jun Qinglan could believe that Huang Yuan was really a terminally ill old man.

"Huang Lao ......"

Huang Yuan's appearance was really inappropriate, and Jun Qinglan saw him waving his hand at him when he got up: "Ah Liu, go and get my medicine." ”

Huang Yuan's voice fell to the ground, and he saw the little guy who had just led them in walking briskly. Huang Yuan seemed to have lost all his patience, and only gritted his teeth and said a word of medicine.

"Master, the new pills have been eaten, and you still have the old medicine in the house. The villain will go and fetch it. ”

"Not necessarily." Huang Yuan waved his hand: "Send me back to the room." ”

The little guy was very strong, and when he heard Huang Yuan say this, he hugged him horizontally together with the yarn quilt.

"Two." Huang Yuan looked at Jun Qinglan and Li Congyao with a dying breath: "If the two of you are not in a hurry, wait for the old man to finish taking the medicine, and then come to entertain the two." ”

"You're at your own convenience."

Seeing that the little guy hugged Huang Yuan into the house, Jun Qinglan's eyebrows were fiercely slashed together. Of course, she could hear that Huang Yuan was always vague in Fang Cai's conversation, but when he mentioned Qin Zhao, his will was clearly a little loose. Maybe he remembered something he never wanted to remember, and he became ill in a state of excitement. He was willing to let himself wait here, explaining that there was always some secret hidden in his heart, and he was willing to tell it to himself.

Jun Qinglan took a deep breath, and couldn't help but calculate in her heart what kind of secret it was, to be able to make people so excited. She only knew that the Qin family's rebellion case was not as simple as it seemed, it turned out that even the cause of death hid so many secrets?

"Don't be nervous." Li Congyao raised his hand and patted her lightly on the back of her hand: "I'll wait with you." ”

Jun Qinglan's heart gradually quieted down at that moment. It is useless to be anxious, only by calmly waiting can we discover the truth that others cannot discover.

No one would have thought that they would wait for nearly an hour. Jun Qinglan looked towards the house, but no one came in or out. The sun has climbed into the middle of the sky, and noon is gradual, which is the warmest time of spring. However, the hopeless waiting finally makes people feel a little hot in their hearts.

"Two guests."

Just when Jun Qinglan was restless, Ah Liu finally showed up. Respectfully bowed his hand to the two and said, "My master, please come in and speak." ”
