Soon, Ma Zhi County in the southern suburbs and Li Baochang in Shanghe Village were taken to Wu Zhi's signing room, and Wu Zhi drank all the arrests, but he and Lan Lord Qin Hui and Song Gong came to interrogate the two.

The case has just been revealed, so naturally the fewer people know about it, the better, and with Lord Lan here, it is not difficult for Wu Zhi to torture Ma Zhixian and Li Baochang.

"Zheng Kai and his wife and the body of Naxiao have been re-examined, now I give the two of you a chance to say it again, it depends on whether you can grasp it, don't wait until the official turns his face and denies people, saying that I didn't give you a chance"

Wu Zhi coldly threatened the two of them, and Lord Lan and the others also had gloomy faces, which invisibly caused huge pressure on the two people standing in the middle.

"Master Wu, what do you want us to say, I have already said what we should say, and I have never hidden anything," Ma Zhixian said tremblingly.

Li Baochang also kept bowing to Wu Zhi and said: "Master Wu, you have to know clearly, the villain is just a grass people, and he doesn't know anything."

"It's a hard mouth."

Wu Zhi picked up the teacup, and after seeing that the water in the cup was cold, he slowly put it down and continued to interrogate: "Okay, the official asks now, you answer one by one, don't intervene, if there is a deception, you will be tortured once." ”

Wu Zhi said, and Lord Lan over there took out the sword at his waist very cooperatively, pointed at the two of them with the tip of the sword, and slowly put it on the table.

"Our Lord Wu is merciful, I will not show mercy, lie and cut a cut on my body at a time"

Lord Lan had a terrifying murderous aura on his body, and his voice was calm, but the two of them trembled in fright.

"Okay Mazhi County, let me ask you, you said that Zheng Kai and his wife committed suicide by jumping into the river in the heart of their beloved son, so how did you deal with this case when you received it, and how did you conclude that it was suicide," Wu Zhi asked.

Ma Zhixian looked at the sword glowing with cold light, recalled nervously for a moment, and replied: "My lord, after receiving the report at that time, I immediately went to Shanghe Village with the arrester to investigate, and later checked the bodies of Zheng Kai and his wife, the corpses were full of water in their stomachs at the time, and they were obviously drowned, and who would drown in winter, so I concluded that I jumped into the river."

"I just took the catch to take a look, so I made such a hasty conclusion without making a fuss," Song Gong on the side said angrily.

"For those who commit suicide, all county officials deal with it like this," Ma Zhi said weakly.

"Without a thorough autopsy, how dare you conclude that you are committing suicide," Song Gong angrily reprimanded.

"Xiao Song, don't be impulsive"

Wu Zhi waved his hand helplessly, this kind of case that is not an obvious murder, the government generally goes through the motions, even if it is asked to do an autopsy, it will not be able to detect anything, because there are too many evasions in this era, and the deceased is the greatest, in addition to inspecting some vital parts during the autopsy, he did not even take off the clothes of the deceased, let alone disemboweling like Song Gong to find out.

And Zheng Kai and his wife are sure that the key point of murder is the rope traces on the back of the head and thighs, the ancients did not cut their hair, and the bruises on the back of the head could not be detected at all, as for the rope marks on the thighs, it is even more impossible to check out, because they will not take off the pants of the deceased, not to mention that there is a female deceased.

Therefore, forensic doctors are not so easy to be, forensic doctors like Song Gong with the professionalism and courage of later generations, throughout the entire feudal history of China, there are only two, one is Song Gong, and the other is Song Ci

"Is what Ma Zhixian said true?" Wu Zhi asked Li Baochang again.

"Yes, yes, it was the villain who led the villagers to recover the body at that time"

"How did you find the body when it was salvaged, did Zheng Kai and his wife find the body as soon as they disappeared?"

Zheng Kai and his wife had been missing for a day, and later villagers passed by the river to see their bodies. I was the first to go, and there was nothing else next to the body. Li Baochang replied truthfully.

Hearing this, Wu Zhi and Lord Lan glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.

"What about when the child died, how did your county government perform the autopsy," Wu Zhi asked Ma Zhixian.

"This" Ma Zhixian replied with a bitter face: "Because the child died young, we didn't send someone to check it."

"Didn't go to see it"

Wu Zhi's eyes narrowed.

"My lord" The death of a child often happens, and if the villagers do not come to report the case, our government will not take care of it." Ma Zhixian hurriedly explained.

"Hmph"

Wu Zhi and the others can only snort coldly, indeed, the situation among the people is like this, they all say that human life is a matter of heaven, but sometimes human life is really nothing.

"Then how did you find the child's body at that time," Wu Zhi asked Li Baochang again.

"This" Li Baochang hesitated for a moment and said, "The child's body was brought by Zheng Kai and his wife from the river. ”

"Arashi-sama"

Phew

Wu Zhi gave an order, Lord Lan's sword light flashed, and a blood-red cut immediately appeared on Li Baochang's arm.

"Ouch" Li Baochang covered his wound and screamed with a twitching face.

The child died of heart disease and was destroyed by others, and Zheng Kai and his wife seemed to know what their son died of, so it was obvious that what Li Baochang said just now was a lie, and Wu Zhi was naturally not polite.

"Go on, go into more detail." Wu Zhi said to Li Baochang.

"Yes, the villain deserves to die, the villain will say" That Li Baochang looked at the sword in fear and said: "I really don't know how the child's body was found, I only know that the housekeeper carried the child's body to Zheng Kai and his wife." ”

"Butler"

Wu Zhi and the others came to their senses, and hurriedly asked: "What housekeeper, what is the relationship with Zheng Kai's family, quickly give me a 1510 explanation."

"That's right, one day last year, we came to Shanghe Village a person who claimed to be the housekeeper of a wealthy household in Bianjing, and wanted to go to our village to recruit a scribe for a rich family, only a child between six and nine years old, and finally picked the little baby with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes of Zheng Kai's family. So Zheng Kai's little baby was taken back to Bianjing by the housekeeper to be a scholar, but it didn't take long for the housekeeper to bring the body of the Zheng family's little baby, saying that the Zheng family's little baby and their master's scorpion skated on the river together, fell into the ice hole, and drowned. ”

In ancient times, to the children of rich and noble families as a companion to read a small book, for the children of ordinary families can be regarded as an excellent way out with a good future, not only the standard of living is raised to a very high level, but also can read for free, get the top education of this era, the key is to establish a deep relationship with the children of large families, in the future will not be too bad, can be described as a good way out of the sky.

Gao Yu, who was killed by Wu Zhi, didn't he rely on Su Shi to be a scribe to make a fortune After Su Shi was demoted, he deliberately asked someone to find a good way out for Gao Yu, so Gao Yu would know Zhao Ji, who was not yet the emperor, so that he would be prosperous in the future.

Therefore, when someone comes to the countryside to recruit scholars, the villagers naturally rush to send their children out, and the children sent out are still their own children, and they can be seen at any time every year.

"Do you know which family in Bianjing City that housekeeper belongs to?" asked Wu Zhi.

"I don't know this, the housekeeper has only been to our village twice and has never revealed anything to the villagers, and Zheng Kai's family seems to have made an agreement with the housekeeper and will not disclose the news of the master's family to the outside world."

Wu Zhi and Lord Lan glanced at each other, and they both showed a hint of joy, although they didn't know the identity of the housekeeper, but as long as he appeared, it was enough, and the sketching skills of the Hanlin Painting Academy were not vegetarians.

"After Zheng Kai's son's body was sent by the housekeeper, did Zheng Kai's family have anything unusual and did they say anything to anyone?"

"After Zheng Kai's son's body was delivered, of course the couple washed their faces with tears all day long, but Zheng Kai ran to Bianjing for three days and two ends, probably to ask for some compassion from the big family."

"Then why did you lie just now," Qin Hui asked.

"The villain is afraid of the revenge of the rich and noble"

Wu Zhi conducted such a grand investigation, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zheng Kai and his wife were killed, and this Li Baochang was also afraid that he would also suffer misfortune, but he couldn't eat Lord Lan's sword so he had to tell the truth, anyway, these Wu Zhi could find out if they asked the villagers afterwards.

"You're Shrewd"

Now the situation has become roughly clear, it should be what Lord Lan just speculated, Zheng Kai's child was killed by a child prostitute, Zheng Kai knew that the family was a powerful family, and it was useless to report to the county government, so he found the relationship between the old housekeeper of the Sun family and asked for help from the jealous and hateful Lord Sun Xin, and the powerful family was obviously very jealous of the official and worried about Sun Xin and Lord Sun, knowing that the matter would be ruined if the matter was exposed, so he did not stop doing it, and wiped out the Sun family and Zheng Kai and his wife

"You can retreat and live in Kaifeng Mansion first, and go home tomorrow" Wu Zhi waved his hand, and then glared at Ma Zhixian and said: "This crime of dereliction of duty will be counted with you later."

This magistrate is just a little incompetent, but it has nothing to do with the case.

"What adults teach"

"What do you think?"

After the two left, Wu Zhi asked Lord Lan, Qin Hui and Song Gong.

"At present, it seems that the Sun family's murder case is undoubtedly a serial case, and the rest is to investigate the powerful people who have prostituted children in Bianjing, and send someone to Shanghe Village again to paint the portrait of the housekeeper. With these two items, the murderer will definitely be in the clear," Qin Hui said sonorously.

"What Lord Qin said is very true," Song Gong agreed.

"Okay, the two of you will start investigating how many good prostitutes in Bianjing City tomorrow, and none of them are allowed to leak" Wu Zhi ordered, the two naturally agreed seriously, and after thinking about it, Wu Zhi asked Lan Ying again: "Lord Lan, as far as you know, those people in Bianjing City are the most suspicious"

"This child prostitution is secret, and I don't know much about it, I only know that it is rumored that Qingguo Gong in the court seems to have this habit"

"It seems that there are not a few people who are good at this," Wu Zhi shook the goosebumps all over his body.

"Lord Lan, go to the vice president of the academy of art tomorrow, you go to Shanghe Village for a trip, where many people have seen that housekeeper, be sure to ask them all, and draw the portrait of the housekeeper as perfectly as possible."

"Obedience"

"Okay, after a tiring day, everyone goes back to rest."

Wu Zhi touched the scar on his arm, although the injury was light, but after all, it was broken for such a long time, and Wu Zhi has been busy since returning to Bianjing, and the wound has not been treated with medicine until now.

When you go back, you must be pretentious in front of the ladies
