Meng Tianchu's head spun quickly, what happened last night flashed in his mind, if it was murder, could it be that the scribe Zhuo Xin killed people in anger? Or is it the fat man of the groom's official who kills people in anger to vent his anger? There is also Zhang Xiancheng, who pretended to be crazy by drinking and deliberately looked for ballast. Meng Tianchu thought about it, and with Feiyan's help, he quickly put on his robe and hurriedly washed up.

Xia Fengyi was holding Meng Tianchu's forensic physical evidence investigation box, and was standing in the living room with a nervous expression, when she saw Meng Tianchu coming out, she handed the box to Meng Tianchu and said, "Husband, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, why don't you take two steamed buns and pad them while walking, okay?" ”

Meng Tianchu took the box and shook his head: "Forget it, don't eat it." After that, he walked out of the living room quickly, and saw Murong Yuxue in the courtyard wearing a scribe's costume at a glance, and saw that her face was slightly red, and she must have been ashamed of what happened last night, so she deliberately teased her: "Do you want to go with me to investigate the scene?" ”

A trace of horror flashed on Murong Yuxue's face, and she hurriedly shook her head, although the girl was curious, she was afraid to avoid things like murder scenes and corpse examinations, how could she follow him.

Meng Tianchu smiled: "Okay, you can handle official business in the study." ”

"Yes!" Murong Yuxue breathed a sigh of relief and bowed down to agree.

Meng Tianchu came out of the inner office, and the county lord Cai Zhao was already waiting at the door of the inner office, and when he saw Meng Tianchu coming out, he arched his hand: "Sir, Master Yuan's daughter-in-law died violently, and the shopkeeper Lin insisted that Yuan Tiehe killed his daughter-in-law and sent someone to the yamen to report the case. ”

Meng Tianchu arched his hand and said: "Dong Weng is polite, this is a matter of contemptible." ”

The two got into the sedan chair respectively, and hurriedly came to Master Yuan's house with Wang Yi, the head catcher, a dozen or so catchers, and the yamen complaint.

Master Yuan and Shopkeeper Lin had already received the report and came to the door to greet them, followed by the two of them, it turned out to be Zhang Chi, the county prince, it turned out that Zhang Chi also got the news, and he didn't even wash his face and rushed to see the excitement.

As soon as the shopkeeper Lin saw Cai Zhixian, he knelt on the ground with a bang and cried: "Master! You have to be the villain's master, you also saw what happened last night, this Yuan Tiehe misunderstood that my daughter did not abide by women's morals, and brutally killed my daughter alive, my daughter died so miserably, you must avenge my daughter. ”

Master Yuan arched his hand in a panic and said: "Lord Cai, don't listen to his nonsense, although that incident happened last night, my son will not kill people because of this......"

Zhang Xiancheng gloated behind and said coldly: "That's not necessarily, your son even dares to insult his own official in public, what else can't be done?" Hey, hey, hey. ”

Master Yuan's daughter-in-law died mysteriously in the cave room, and the happy event turned into a funeral, and she was already angry, but now she listened to this Zhang Xiancheng's sneering, plus the bullying she received from Zhang Xiancheng last night, she couldn't help but be furious, and turned around and pointed at Zhang Xiancheng: "The surname is Zhang, you have bullied me again and again, I have endured you again and again, and you are still falling into the well, saying some unfounded words, but what is the reason!" ”

Zhang Xiancheng didn't expect that Master Yuan, who was two levels shorter than himself, would dare to point at himself and shout, completely ignoring the dignity of the superiors and subordinates, obviously annoyed to the extreme, of course he knew that the dog was in a hurry to jump off the wall, and the rabbit was in a hurry to bite people, so he didn't dare to fight him hard at this time, so he smiled: "This official is just talking about things, why should Lord Yuan be angry......

Cai Zhixian shouted: "Okay! Things haven't been figured out yet, what are you arguing about! ”

Zhang Xiancheng and Yuan Zhushu hurriedly bowed down to salute, but they didn't dare to say any more, only the whining cry of the shopkeeper Lin remained.

Cai Zhixian said: "Lord Yuan, what's going on, you can talk about it first." ”

"Yes, before he got up this morning, the dog ran in a panic, saying that he found that his daughter-in-law was dead, and the lowly couple hurriedly felt that the new house was checked, and the daughter-in-law was lying on the bed, and sure enough, she was out of breath, and it was estimated that she died of a violent illness. The humble official hurriedly sent someone to inform the in-laws and husbands and wives, and when they arrived, they saw that their daughter had died, so they said that the dog had killed her, so they went to the yamen to report to the official. ”

Shopkeeper Lin cried: "Woo...... My daughter was disease-free, she died less than a day after marrying into your family, and last night your son knocked my daughter to the ground, so many people saw it, your son was so vicious to my daughter, who else could he have killed if he hadn't killed her? ”

Master Yuan said with a bitter face: "I believe that my son will not kill anyone, it must not be killed by him, maybe your daughter is sick, and it just happened that she died at this time, and I don't know." ”

"My daughter is not sick......"

Meng Tianchu waved his hand and said, "Okay, how did you die, I'll understand after I finish the inspection, don't quarrel anymore." ”

Cai Zhixian said: "What Mr. said is very true, Lord Yuan, Shopkeeper Lin, don't say any more about the two of you, let Mr. check the corpse first." ”

Master Yuan and Shopkeeper Lin both nodded.

Meng Tianchu carried the forensic physical evidence investigation box and said to Master Yuan: "Take us to the murder scene first." ”

Master Yuan agreed, led the way, and took Cai Zhixian, Meng Tianchu and others inside.

When they came to the new house, the groom's official Yuan Tiehe was sitting on the steps of the courtyard, his head drooping and his face depressed. Behind him stood Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Lin, two women sobbing incessantly. There were a few little maidens standing in the back.

Master Yuan said in a low voice: "Tiehe's daughter-in-law's corpse...... Right on the bed in the new house......"

Cai Zhixian and Meng Tianchu walked up the steps, Meng Tianchu glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and found a small pool of vomit in the corner of the steps, his heart moved, when he came to this new house last night, Zhuo Xin was lying next to the steps, when he rescued Zhuo Xin, he clearly remembered that there was no vomit next to the steps, because the smell of vomit was very strong, if there was, he would definitely notice.

When the two of them came to the door, they saw that the door was hidden, revealing a gap half a foot wide, and when they looked inside, they saw that the room was relatively messy, Lin Si's body was covered with a thin big red quilt, a snow-white calf was exposed outside the quilt, his hair was scattered, and the expression on his face was not clear. Several of the women's dresses were thrown to the ground, as if torn.

Cai Zhixian has been an official for many years, and he has also encountered many murders, of course he knows the importance of protecting the original appearance of the murder scene, so he turned his head and said to Meng Tianchu: "This murder case will be entrusted to Mr. to be responsible, and he will wait outside the courtyard for his later life." Immediately, Cai Zhixian turned around and went down the steps, and asked Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Lin to wait outside the courtyard with the two women and maids.

Master Yuan had already asked the servants to set up tables and chairs in the open space outside the courtyard, serve fragrant tea, and then waited with Shopkeeper Lin hanging their hands. The two women took the maid and avoided the room to the side.

Meng Tianchu sat down beside Yuan Tiehe on the steps and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yuan Tiehe slowly raised his head and choked up: "I don't know, really, master, I woke up this morning, it was not dawn, I got up and went to the toilet, returned to the bed, hugged my mother and wanted to make love with her, but after a while, I didn't feel right, she didn't move, and her hands and feet were cold, and she wouldn't bend, I was startled, and shook her hard to call her name, but she was still motionless." I hurriedly lit the light, only to find out that she was dead......"

Meng Tianchu said in a deep voice, "When did you sleep last night?" ”

"Probably...... Probably three watches......"

"When did you find out she's dead?"

"About the hour."

"Did you close the doors and windows when you slept?"

"Off...... Closed ......"

"Did you ever have a fight or a fight?"

"I didn't ...... No...... How is it possible, she is my mother, and we only got married yesterday. ”

Meng Tianchu stared at Yuan Tiehe for a while, and then patted Yuan Tiehe on the shoulder: "I hope you are not lying, even if you lie, I can find out." ”

Yuan Tiehe was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "How to check?" ”

"Hehe, don't you know that dead people can talk? As long as you learn the language of the dead, you will be able to understand their words. ”

Yuan Tiehe didn't seem to understand, but he felt creepy.

Meng Tianchu asked him to go out of the courtyard and wait, waiting for the summons at any time, and then, he opened the forensic evidence investigation box, took a pair of gloves from it and put them on, carefully avoided places that might leave fingerprints, pushed open the door and walked in.

The room still has the same appearance as the candles in the cave room last night. There was a large pot of wine and two wine glasses on a round table in the middle of the new house, Meng Tianchu picked up the wine jug and looked at it, and found that the wine jug was very large, at least it could be filled with three catties of wine, and it was almost empty, and two stools, one standing and one lying on the ground. On the incense case in the back, a pair of big red wedding candles only burned a small half, standing there coldly, as an eyewitness to the murder scene, but could only be silent.

On a large carved bed, there is a mosquito net, but one side of the mosquito net has been lifted up and hung on the bed rail, this bed is very large and wide, and it is no problem to sleep horizontally and vertically. The body of the bride Lin Si was lying on the edge of the bed in the middle, facing the sky on her back, her snow-white shoulders exposed outside the quilt, which was covered very flat, and it could be seen that she should have been covered after she was found dead.

There were no traces of blood on the bed, and there were no traces of fighting, but Meng Tianchu carefully inspected the women's dresses on the ground and found that they had been torn and some dirt was adhered to them.

Now it is necessary to find out the cause of the death of the deceased Lin Si, whether it is homicide, and after the cause of death is determined, it can be decided whether to organize the investigation as a criminal case.

PS: A few days ago, Mu came back from a business trip, but he was immediately transferred to participate in an emergency working group, and he has been busy, except for two or three hours of code words at night, there is no spare time at all, and the manuscript of seventy or eighty thousand words has been exhausted, and the reasoning detection story emphasizes the logic and rigor of reasoning before and after, and it is best to write a complete detection story before sending it out, so as to know what problems exist in the previous setting.

Therefore, the wood can only slow down the update speed again, reducing it to one update per day, 3,000 words per update. There is really no way, first, I really don't have time to code words, and second, I want to catch up with the content, so that the reasoning and detection story can be written better and more reasonable.

I hope to get your understanding. Thank you!
