"It can't be said that there are no casualties." Fang Qing pondered for a moment and said, "In the chaos at that time, one person did die, but only one person died. It is rare for a disaster of this magnitude to have only one person killed. ”

Jun Qinglan's eyes lit up: "How did that person die?" ”

"Naturally, he fell into the water for too long and drowned."

Jun Qing's blue eyes were slightly dark: "Just drowning? ”

"All the records of the old cases are kept in the treasury. At that time, it was Huang Lao who performed the autopsy on that person, and the conclusion was that he was drowned. With Huang Lao's ability, he shouldn't be mistaken. ”

Jun Qinglan groaned and did not speak.

"If you have any concerns about this case, I will go through the records and bring them to you as soon as I get back."

"That's not necessary, I'm just asking." Jun Qinglan hooked the corner of her lips and smiled faintly.

Fang Qing's words coincided with Wen Niang's words. Uncle Jing fell into the water and drowned when the stone bridge collapsed that year. The stone bridge is in disrepair, and there are many people watching the dragon boat race, and the stone bridge collapsed under the burden, which is reasonable. However, only one Uncle Jing died.

This thing looks a little ...... It's unbelievable.

But everything that doesn't make sense is boring. However, too long has passed since this happened, and even if there is any evidence, it has long been obliterated by time. What's more, the uncle of the Jing family no longer exists in the world, who cares about the real cause of his death?

It's no wonder that Wen Niang will be obsessed with his death, this thing is really strange, not to mention that it was Huang Yuan's own corpse, and Wen Niang counted all the debts on Huang Yuan.

However, if Huang Yuan killed the Jing family for the sake of a word-elimination potion, this matter really makes some sense, and the potion is not so valuable at all. However, now that the person concerned has died, there is no way to verify this matter after all.

Jun Qinglan frowned slightly, and she couldn't stretch her all the time. Huang Yuan's case involves more and more people and things, when will it be a head?

The room was quiet for a while, and it seemed that Tang Ying's digging voice was extremely clear, and the monotony and dullness made people feel panicked in their hearts.

"Blue." Jiang Yufan finally couldn't help but speak: "You never ask anything casually. suddenly mentioned the drowning case more than ten years ago, but what does it have to do with Huang Yuan's case? ”

Jun Qinglan glanced at him. This person's brain circuit in the past was very magical, and today he is so good?

"I can't answer you right now." Jun Qinglan said slowly: "Everything has to wait for Tang Ying. ”

"Is it so heavy to dig a hole? I'm here to help, too. ”

As he spoke, Jiang Yufan picked up the hoe from the box and came out. Automatically stood beside Tang Ying and dug vigorously.

Fang Qing stood for a while, only to feel embarrassed: "Then, I'll help too." ”

Jiang Yufan and Fang Qing didn't understand the purpose of Jun Qinglan's excavation in the Huangyuan House, but they spared no effort at all and worked hard. With the help of these two people, you can get twice the result with half the effort. After a while, he heard a crisp sound, and Tang Ying immediately stopped the iron pickaxe in his hand.

"What's that?" Jiang Yufan approached curiously and took a closer look.

At this moment, it is almost a zhang above the ground. Beneath the dark brown soil, there is a faint gray and white cold light.

Jiang Yufan squinted: "Is it a slate?" ”

Why is there a stone slab buried under Huang Yuan's house?

"My lord, I should have dug it!" Tang Ying raised his head and shouted.

Jun Qinglan poked her head out of the dirt pit: "The idea is to pry open the stone slab." ”

"Okay."

Tang Ying's iron pickaxe in his hand struck down hard against the stone slab, and the huge impact caused the iron pickaxe to fly.

Tang Ying bared his teeth: "This slate looks a little thick. ”

As he spoke, he took out the coarse porcelain gourd again. This time, there were more drops of transparent liquid on the slate, and after seeing the liquid come into contact with the slate, there was a hiss, and a thick white smoke immediately swayed.

Jiang Yufan was startled, and saw that there was no pungent smell in the surroundings. Only then did I continue to look at it boldly and with confidence.

A moment later, he saw that the stone slab was soaked in liquid and a fist-sized pit, and Tang Ying used all his strength to smash the iron pickaxe towards the stone pit. The pickaxe was nailed to the slab. Tang Ying rotated the iron pickaxe left and right, and with little effort, he drilled a hole in the thickness of the child's waist.

A cold breath rose from the cave, and there seemed to be a faint murmur of water in the ears.

"There's water down there?" Jiang Yufan was shocked.

Jun Qinglan always looked at it from above, and saw that the size of the hole was almost suitable for observation. Then he built a soft ladder and went down to the bottom of the cave with a torch.

She handed the torch to Tang Ying, and she took a signal and popped it up, lit it, and threw it towards the hole. The flare was like a meteor, shining with extreme light and falling until it disappeared. The light of the fireflies was only a moment, but it was enough for everyone to see what was going on in the cave.

There is indeed a dark river passing below, and the river is flowing rapidly, and I don't know where it leads.

"It's ......." Fang Qing frowned slightly: "Is it one of the underground rivers in Guanzhou Mansion?" ”

Jun Qinglan held the torch and looked at it carefully for a long time before she raised her eyebrows: "Master Jiang, do you remember everything you saw just now?" ”

Jiang Yufan nodded desperately: "That's nature." ”

"When you get back, please draw exactly what you have just seen on paper as soon as possible. Early tomorrow morning, bring all the crime scene drawings you have drawn to the county warden's office to find me. ”

Jiang Yufan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Go to the county guard mansion tomorrow?" Could it be that you have already investigated this case? ”

Jun Qinglan nodded: "Almost, just one thing." ”

Jiang Yufan frowned: "Since the evidence is not complete, why do you have to go to the county guard's mansion?" ”

Jun Qinglan only smiled mysteriously: "Because, the last important piece of physical evidence is in the county guard's mansion." ”

She took a deep breath: "It's been dragging on for so long, so many people have died. The case...... It's finally time to wrap it up. ”

For Jun Qinglan, this night was peaceful, but after a lot of heart disease, she could finally have a moment of peace. For Jiang Yufan and Fang Qing, this night was restless. knew that Jun Qinglan said that the case could be closed, but ...... Why do you have to wait until tomorrow?

However, tomorrow is tomorrow. Even if you are reluctant, you can only wait.

On the second day, Jun Qinglan arrived outside the county guard mansion on time. As soon as the drum sounded, many people watched.

Jun Qinglan strode into the court in full view of everyone.

Fang Qing should have conveyed the news to Huang Zhong a long time ago, and the man sat upright in the main hall and looked at Jun Qinglan, without even half a doubt in his eyes. Dingguo Gong sat on the side to accompany him, and what shocked everyone was that the man who was originally imprisoned with Jun Qinglan actually sat in the public court. The position was still placed in front of Dingguo Gong.

As a result, Li Congyao's success became the focus of everyone. Everyone is secretly speculating about the origin of this ordinary-looking man.

Huang Zhong was naturally shocked, and he didn't understand the reason why Dingguo Gong asked him to sit for Li Congyao. But he is in office

After a lifetime of hard work, sitting firmly on the throne of the county guard, he has long practiced the ability of Mount Tai to collapse in front of him. Even if there is no doubt in his heart, there is no abnormality on his face.

He only glanced at Li Congyao slightly, and then focused his attention on Jun Qinglan. He thought that Jun Qinglan asked for a public trial today, and he should have brought a lot of physical evidence. But...... How is she alone.

So, he slowly raised his hand and slapped the shocking wood down: "Lan Qing, you said that you have found out the cause of Huang Lao's death, why don't you tell the truth quickly?" ”

"Yes." Jun Qinglan arched her hand and slowly straightened her waist.

"Dare to ask your lord, when I was checking Huang Lao's body that day. Was it determined that the cause of his death was a cut on the neck and excessive blood loss? ”

Huang Zhong nodded: "That's nature." You were with ...... at the time. ”

He glanced at Li Congyao and chose to skip this person directly: "You were at the scene at the time, so naturally you know better than anyone why Huang Lao lost too much blood, and it is precisely because of this that you have the biggest suspicion." ”

"You're right, if you had been in the past, even I would have thought I was suspicious. However, when I examined Huang Lao's body, I found that the dagger had not stabbed him in the neck, and the blood that flowed at that time was not enough to kill him. When I talked to Huang Lao, I found that he was breathing hard and almost suffocated, but the situation was urgent, and out of helplessness, I used a dagger to separate his organs through a small opening. After the adhesion of the trachea is flushed open, he can breathe freely. However....... ”

"Just as I was about to treat him further, Aliu suddenly shouted and rushed in with someone. As a result, the best time for treatment was delayed, and Huang Lao died of heart failure. ”

Huang Zhong frowned: "This is just your words. And at that time, there were many people who saw you stabbing Huang Lao, why do you think this official believed your words? ”

"Your Excellency is not right." Jun Qinglan said in a deep voice: "After Ah Liu rushed in, Huang Lao's neck has been injured. The dagger has also been put away, and all you can see is Huang Lao falling beside me. But you didn't see me stab him with a dagger, did you? ”

Huang Zhong's voice froze, is there a difference?

"There is a world of difference between suspicion and facts, and no one can arrest someone based on suspicion alone, let alone a big matter involving the life and death of others. Moreover, the scar on Huang Lao's neck was not his fatal injury. ”

As soon as Huang Zhongcai raised his eyebrows, he heard Jun Qinglan say: "The reason why I have such a statement is that I can naturally come up with enough evidence. ”

Jun Qinglan said loudly: "After a detailed discussion with the old family of Huangfu, I learned that Huang Lao's health has not been very good since he was young. Often unable to sleep at night, palpitations and pain, and difficulty breathing. That's what happened when I saw him. At first, I thought it was asthma, but after a miracle doctor analyzed his prescriptions, I found out that Huang Lao's illness was not asthma, but heart disease. There is no doubt that this disease is not the same as normal people when it occurs, and there is a danger of death at any time once it occurs. Because it will block a person's breathing, and it will suffocate a person in an instant. ”

"The reason why Huang Lao died that day was a heart attack, and the treatment was delayed. But....... ”

Jun Qinglan narrowed her eyes, and suddenly changed her words: "However, Huang Lao has never stopped taking medicine and treatment. In recent years, it has been a prescription for improvement, and even the county guard invited a famous doctor from all over the world for him to consult. It stands to reason that his condition should be brought under control. Why did it get worse, and even worsen, to the point of death? ”

Everyone's hearts had already been pulled by Jun Qinglan, and they heard her suddenly ask. One by one, they also thought about the reason in their hearts, but they couldn't figure it out.

After a long time, Jun Qinglan sighed and said, "There is only one reason. ”
