"Brother Wu is not good, there was a murder in Xiahe Village, and County Lieutenant Han asked you to take him to the autopsy!" I saw that the young official rushed into Yizhuang and saw Lu Wu, and immediately shouted loudly.

"It's so unlucky, I just got a murder as soon as I came back!" When Lu Wu heard this, he slapped the table again, and as a result, the already overwhelmed table "squeaked" again, and it looked like it was about to fall apart.

The yamen in the yamen is generally divided into three kinds, namely the strong class, the soap class, and the fast class, of which the strong class is not permanent, only in the event of an emergency, the yamen will temporarily convene the township Zhuang to form the Zhuang class, and the soap class is responsible for the county official master standing class and doing the honor guard, that is, when the county lord ascends to the hall on TV in later generations, the guys who shout "mighty" sometimes also serve as executioners.

As for the last fast class, its responsibilities are the most and the most miscellaneous, such as reconnoitring cases, arresting thieves, patrolling the streets and collecting taxes and so on, which is equivalent to the police and urban management and taxation in later generations, and the fast class is divided into horse fast and step fast, because they both have the responsibility of investigating cases and arresting thieves, so they are collectively referred to as catching fast in later generations, but strictly speaking, Ma Kuai focuses more on the duties of the police, and Lu Wu is the head of the fast class, and now there is a murder, he naturally has to be present.

"Did Yang Cheng give notice, let him hurry up and go to the autopsy, this new Han County Lieutenant is young and vigorous, and he is a new Jinshi, we can't afford to mess with him!" Lu Wu said and stood up and prepared to go to Xiahe Village.

"Brother Wu, you haven't been here for the past few days, so I don't know, Yang Cheng helped people carry the coffin two days ago, but he was smashed in an accident and vomited blood, and now he can't even get out of bed." I saw that the official who reported the news said with a sad face at this time, he was barely a person in the yamen, but he was usually very free, and he would only look for them when he encountered things like an autopsy, and usually they would do some odd jobs, such as helping people with funerals, etc., so as to subsidize the family.

Lu Wu's face couldn't help but sink when he heard this, there are a total of two people in the yamen, except for Yang Yanzuo, there is only Li Zhang's gambler father, but he has been in various casinos all the year round, hiding in Tibet because of debts, and now he doesn't know where to go?

"In this way, you hurry up and go to Kaifeng County to seconded Xu Cheng!" Lu Wu hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision, Kaifeng Prefecture has several counties under its jurisdiction, and Kaifeng and Xiangfu are both Beijing counties, and there are also many exchanges between them.

"Running to Kaifeng County? This is also too far, and the county lieutenant Han is already waiting in Xiashui Village, I will have at least a day to come and go back and forth, what should I do when the county lieutenant Han is angry? When the official heard Lu Wu's words, he showed an embarrassed expression again, and glanced at Li Zhang after speaking, after all, if Li Zhang's father was here, he wouldn't have to work so hard.

"I'll go to Xiashui Village first, you go to Yamen to ride a horse and go back quickly, if the county lieutenant Han is to blame, I will take it first!" Lu Wu gritted his teeth at this time and said, he didn't want to offend that Han County Lieutenant, after all, he was born as a righteous and bright Jinshi, and his team leader looked very open, but in fact, his status was very low, and he was not as good as the scribe in the county office, so if the other party really blamed him, I am afraid he would have to go around without food.

"Uncle Wu, if you really can't do it, I'll go with you!" But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Zhang's face calm and said, the reason why their brother and sister can live here in Yizhuang is mainly because of Lu Wu's maintenance, so he doesn't want Lu Wu to be too embarrassed, not to mention just to examine the corpse, Li Zhang feels that he should not be able to help himself.

"You? Stop messing around, what do you know as a little kid? Lu Wu was stunned for a moment when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then said impatiently, although Li Zhang's father was a squire, he spent most of his time gambling outside, and he had never taught Li Zhang anything related to squandering, and Li Zhang's age was so young, so he didn't believe that Li Zhang had this ability at all.

"Uncle Wu, I heard the meaning of your words just now, that Han County Lieutenant has just taken office, and he is young and vigorous, I am afraid that he is trying to take advantage of others, and you are very grateful for taking care of our family, but after all, the rules in the yamen are broken, if Han County Lieutenant is caught by the handle, maybe he really dares to take you under the knife, and if we really affect you because of our affairs, I am afraid that I and Tanuki will feel guilty for the rest of our lives." Li Zhang said calmly again.

"But you don't know how to perform an autopsy, and you're so young, what's the use of going?" When Lu Wu heard Li Zhang's words, he was a little moved at first, but then he still had some words that he couldn't believe.

"How do you know if you don't try, after all, I'm a son of a squire, and I've learned something from ear to ear." Li Zhang heard that Lu Wu's tone was already a little shaken, and he couldn't help but show a confident smile at the moment.

Although Li Zhang was not a forensic doctor in his previous life, he also had a little bit to do with doctors, he was mainly engaged in medicine, and when he just graduated, he felt that he should break through when he was young, and he wanted to make more money, so he was sent by the company to that ghost place in Africa, the salary is not low, but it is exchanged for his life, especially the turmoil where he is stationed, the social environment is extremely bad, and robberies, shootings and the like are almost commonplace.

In addition to the harsh social environment, the local natural environment is also bad, and various infectious diseases emerge one after another, which is also the reason why Li Zhang's company conducts business in the local area.

What's more worth mentioning is that Li Zhang is still a detective fan, he has read almost all forensic novels and TV, of course, the things in the novels and TV can't be taken seriously, but at least he has popularized a lot of forensic knowledge, plus he has taught himself a lot of medical knowledge, so he feels that he should have no problem acting as a puppet, especially in the Song Dynasty, the technique of puppet work is still very primitive, Song Ci is a native of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Clearing Grievances" has not yet appeared, and "Clearing Grievances" Li Zhang has also seen it, He felt that his level should not be worse than that of Song Ci, an ancient person.

Although Lu Wu still had some doubts about Li Zhang's ability, he knew that Li Zhang's analysis was very correct, County Lieutenant Han had just taken office, and he was looking for someone to open his sword during this time, and the other party, as a county lieutenant, was in charge of public security and theft, and it was his top boss who couldn't be easier to clean up such a small team leader as him.

Just when Lu Wu was hesitating, he suddenly saw another official rushing over, and when he saw him, he immediately shouted: "Brother Wu, County Lieutenant Han urges you to quickly bring him over, and he must conduct an autopsy today!" ”

Hearing the words of this officer, Lu Wu's face couldn't help but sink, there were two people in the yamen, and Yang was seriously injured and vomited blood, it was impossible for the county lieutenant Han not to know, but he just urged himself to take him over, obviously because he wanted to get along with himself, after all, everyone in the yamen knew that Li Zhang's family was covered by himself, and it seemed that the other party really wanted to cut himself.

"Okay, Da Lang, you come with me, let's go meet this Han County Lieutenant for a while!" Lu Wu finally gritted his teeth and made a decision, originally he didn't want to cause trouble, but if the other party really used him as a soft persimmon, then he would not be polite, after all, he has not been a fool all these years, as for Li Zhang, it is naturally best if he can complete the autopsy, if he can't finish it, then he will also touch the other party, even if he doesn't do it with this team, he has to give the other party some color!

Seeing Lu Wu agree, Li Zhang finally showed a happy expression, but when he heard the title "Da Lang", his face couldn't help but collapse, because this title was very reminiscent of the "Da Lang" surnamed Wu, but he also knew that "Da Lang" was the common name of the eldest son in the family by elders or peers, and he happened to be the eldest son in the family, so it was not wrong to call him Da Lang.

Li Zhang's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Lu Wu asked a servant to carry him, and Li Zhang told the raccoon dog to take good care of the house at home, and then he and Lu Wu left the house, and at the same time, he also went out of Bianhe Town for the first time.

Xiashui Village is not far away, just in the southeast corner of Bianhe Town, where there is a tributary of the Bianhe River, which makes irrigation very convenient, so several villages are formed along the river, and Xiashui Village is located in the most downstream position, the village is not big, only a few dozen households, originally it was just a quiet small village, but today because of a murder and broke the peace in the village.

According to the official who reported the letter, the deceased was a villager from Xiashui Village, and the other party's name was Liu Da, who was originally doing business abroad, and only returned home yesterday, but today he was suddenly found dead in the woods behind the village, and he was hanged.

Originally, suicide was generally not taken care of in the yamen, after all, the ancient government's rule over the grassroots was relatively weak, as long as no one reported the case, even if it was a dead person, no one would pay attention to it.

But the deceased's younger brother did not believe that his eldest brother would commit suicide, because according to him, when his eldest brother came back yesterday, he drank with him, and he was very happy to tell himself that he had made a lot of money in business outside, and even asked him to find someone to prepare to renovate the house in his hometown, but only one night later, the other party committed suicide, which is obviously unreasonable, so he went to the county government to report the case.

Originally, a murder case that I didn't know whether it was suicide or homicide, there was no need for Captain Han to go to it in person, but this was the first murder case he took office, so after Captain Han received the report, he immediately took someone to Xiashui Village to check it in person, and now he is waiting for Lu Wu to take him over for an autopsy.

After a while, Li Zhang and Lu Wu finally came to Xiashui Village, and there were already a lot of villagers gathered outside the woods behind the village, including a few officials, but Li Zhang's heart sank when he saw this, because there was no such thing as a cordon at the scene, and the villagers could also enter and exit at will, and it was estimated that the scene had already been destroyed, which made him a little suspicious of the criminal investigation work in the Great Song Dynasty again, and he didn't even have this basic common sense, how did the people in the yamen solve the case?

Now is not the time to think about this, Lu Wu took Li Zhang through the crowd to the scene of the crime, but before Li Zhang saw the body, he saw a young official coming over angrily, but it was not this young official who attracted Li Zhang's attention, but a person who followed the other party, and the other party was also looking him up and down at this time.
