Meng Ruoying looked at Lin Zhao's distant back, tears once again burst out of her eyes, and when she was most desperate, he brought hope. She believed that Lin Zhao would find out the truth, save herself from the cage, and avenge her brother. In the tearful eyes, Lin Zhao's firm steps gradually entered the girl's heart......

Lin Zhao came here not only to ask about the situation at the time of the crime, but more importantly, to comfort Meng Ruoying and make her feel at ease! He was really worried that Miss Meng would not be able to bear the pain of prison, and that she would suffer too much in despair and despair.

In the prison, Lin Zhao instructed the female jailer to take care of Meng Ruoying, and the food was delivered directly by Gu Yuelun after it was prepared. Because the prefect accompanied him, the cell head jailer naturally did not dare to disobey, and nodded and agreed.

Despite this, the prison was dark, damp and filthy, and it was not a place for people at all. Lin Zhao had already made up his mind that he must save Meng Ruoying as quickly as possible.

After settling Meng Ruoying, Lin Zhao, accompanied by Wang Yan, went straight to the county government to meet the county commander Shao Wenquan. What needs to be known now is the results of the post-mortem and on-site investigation.

Shao Wenquan is very strange, how could the prefect take a scholar from the Meng family to the door, and ask about the details of the investigation! Although he was puzzled, he didn't dare to say a word, and finally presented this hot potato to the government, if he didn't cooperate well, the prefect of the king would be in trouble if he blamed it. What's more, there is still a little scholar who can speak well, he doesn't want to be Zhu Xueli's second!

The servants who were working and inspecting the scene received a summons and soon arrived, thinking that the officials of the government had come to inquire about it. What he didn't want to see was a young man in coarse linen clothes, all of whom were full of doubts.

Shao Wenquan, the magistrate of the county, said: "Brother Lin was appointed by the prefect to participate in the investigation of the murder of Meng Gongzi, and you must answer his questions truthfully!" ”

Lin Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and stepped forward directly: "Are you a fool?" What were the results of the post-mortem examination? ”

He said: "It has been checked, Meng Gongzi was pierced by a sharp object through the blood vessels in the neck and died, after comparison, the murder weapon is the candlestick at the scene." ”

Lin Zhao nodded and asked, "Hmm!" What is the direction and angle of the wound? ”

"Angle?"

"Uh......" Lin Zhao said: "That means that the murder weapon is a flat stab, or a bottom-up stab?" Or a stab from above? ”

"This ...... Time is in a hurry, and there is no time to check in detail! ”

"So sloppy?" Lin Zhao was quite dissatisfied, and continued to ask, "Are there any other scars on the corpse, are there any other clues?" ”

"Uh...... There is no ......"

Lin Zhao saw the flustered expression, and shouted: "Is it not, or is there no inspection at all?" Answer truthfully! ”

He was shocked, and said in a low voice: "The Meng family is a big family, and they are already preparing to collect the body, and it is not convenient to carefully inspect it in front of the Meng family, otherwise it should be said that it is disrespectful to the deceased." ”

"Dereliction of duty! Ignoring clues in a hurry, how to help the deceased avenge his grievances? This is the greatest disrespect to the deceased! Lin Zhao was furious. If it weren't for her own intervention, with the attitude of these errand soldiers in Jiangning County, Meng Ruoying was afraid that she would really be wronged!

The performance of his subordinates made Shao Wenquan's face a little unbearable, and at the same time, he was secretly glad that it was right to hand over the case, otherwise these people would be able to find out a fart! At the same time, I was also a little worried, will Wang Yan who was present tell his father? Will the prefect blame him?

He didn't know that Wang Yan was also secretly glad that it seemed that it was right to choose Lin Zhao, it was indeed much better than being an errand officer. His father and son hope that the case will be concluded as soon as possible on the premise of a good verdict and no grievances, and now it seems that it is not a difficult task.

Lin Zhao asked again: "What are the results of the on-site investigation?" ”

"Nothing unusual found!"

Is there no clue, or is it a dereliction of duty on the part of these wine bags and rice bags? Lin Zhao had no intention of asking, but fortunately, the scene had been sealed, and he could investigate again, but this autopsy was ......

Lin Zhao asked, "Zuo, can you carefully examine the body again?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work!" He hurriedly waved his hand and said: "When I left, the Meng Mansion had already collected the body and buried it, the deceased was big, and it was inconvenient to check it again, so I need the consent of my relatives......

Lin Zhao was suddenly full of black lines, this is a bit troublesome, can Mrs. Meng agree to another autopsy? Presumably, that slut of the Li family will do everything possible to obstruct it. The hasty autopsy has ended, and it is understandable that the family will not agree. In ancient times, the dead were important, and even the government was helpless!

A certain detective once said: corpses don't lie! Lin Zhao believed that there must be clues on Meng Ruogu's body, and it was also the most direct evidence, which was indispensable.

What now? Unless you convince Mrs. Meng first, is this possible?

It was getting late, so Lin Zhao had to say goodbye to Wang Yan and return home. My heart was full of worries, I don't know how Meng Ruoying will sleep peacefully in the prison tonight? The autopsy must be done as soon as possible. But in the Meng Mansion, the old lady used to be full of words, but now that the Li family has a golden belly, the right to speak has been greatly improved, and then pour some [***] soup to the old lady Meng, there is a lot of resistance!

Meng Ruogu has not returned home for more than a month, and eighty percent of the Li family's pregnancy is not the Meng family's species, but it is really ironic that he is regarded as a treasure by the whole family......

Hey, Lin Zhao had a flash of inspiration in his mind, if the Li family was not in the Meng family's bloodline, would Old Madam Meng's attitude change? Lee's testimony is not credible, this is the crux of the matter! How did you ignore it before?

While Lin Zhao blamed himself, he was also thinking about clues and evidence, what were those medicinal residues collected last time? Can it come in handy? The other is Meng Ruogu's itinerary......

After sleeping in a daze all night, Lin Zhao got up early in the morning and went straight to the pharmacy with the medicine residue in his arms. The doctor in the hall looked at the young man in front of him curiously, didn't he know what the medicine he grabbed was? Lin Zhao didn't explain much, took out ten copper coins and said, "Mr. Trouble, help me take a look, what kind of medicinal materials are these medicines?" What is the effect? ”

"Good!" Seeing Qian's eyes, the doctor opened the small cloth bag brought by Lin Zhao with a smile, and identified them one by one: "Cork, comfrey, silkworm cloth, peilan, raccoon, borneol......" As he spoke, he said suspiciously: "Dare to ask who is taking this medicine?" ”

Belch! Is there something wrong? Lin Zhao said: "You don't need to ask about this, just tell me the effect of this medicine!" ”

The doctor said, "This is a pair of contraceptive pills......

"Birth control pills?"

After seeing Lin Zhao's stunned expression, the doctor had a clear expression and said, "Yes, if a woman takes this medicine after having sex, she will not conceive a baby." ”

I see! Lin Zhao suddenly became enlightened, figured out many things, and immediately left with the important evidence of medicine residue. The doctor behind him was suspicious, could it be that the little lady secretly took medicine and refused to conceive a child for him? What a pathetic lad!

Lin Zhao returned to the Meng Mansion full of joy and went straight to Meng Ruogu's study to find other clues. I didn't want to meet the slut of the Li family on the road, dressed in the filial piety clothes of the deceased, and was ready to go to cry for Meng Ruogu.

"Lin Zhao? Where is this going? Do you really want to avenge the cheap girl who murdered her brother ruthlessly? Meng Ruoying said that everyone could hear it clearly, not to mention that it was an old enemy, so the Li family was very displeased.

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Yes, investigate this case, find out the real culprit, avenge the eldest lady, and avenge the son!" ”

Li snorted coldly: "Don't waste your time, that cheap girl murdered her brother is an indisputable fact, how can you talk a lot and talk nonsense?" Don't forget, you...... Your whole family is a slave of the Meng family...... You have to be careful, you shouldn't leave it alone, otherwise you will be ...... in the future" said and seemed to say to the accompanying Xiao Tao: "The husband is gone, naturally there is no need for a scholar, I heard that the front yard seems to lack a handyman who sends a dung bucket......"

Nima! Lin Zhao sneered: "Threaten me? Hehe, I forgot to tell the young lady that the prefect Wang has entrusted me to participate in the investigation, and before the case is revealed, you can't control me, young lady, hum! ”

"You ......" Li didn't expect Lin Zhao to be so capable, and climbed up to the prefect, and couldn't help but be anxious and angry!

Lin Zhao continued: "I already have some evidence in the next place, and some people have only been able to do it for a few days, so the young lady can do it herself!" After saying that, he walked away and went straight to the study......

Xiao Tao couldn't help but panic: "Madam, could it be that he really found something?" ”

Li Shi was also a little panicked and worried, and said with shortness of breath: "I can't find anything out of him as a little scholar?" But you have to be careful, inform Chen Xuan of the news, and let him find a way......"

Lin Zhao trotted all the way to Meng Ruogu's residence, which was now guarded by the officials of Jiangning County. The officers were greeted by Shao Wenquan of the county magistrate in advance, and Lin Zhao was naturally unimpeded.

When I entered the house, the blood was still there, and it was shocking. Thinking of Meng Ruogu's tragic death, Lin Zhao felt very uncomfortable, for the sake of now, the only way to find out the truth and bring the murderer to justice to avenge him.

Lin Zhao searched the neighborhood first, but did not find any useful clues, and it seems that the officers are not lying. Lin Zhao entered the study and flipped through Meng Ruogu's book manuscripts, hoping to find clues from them......

The hard work paid off, and Lin Zhao found a letter from a Xuanzhou scholar to Meng Ruogu, saying that after the Shangyuan Festival, he would ask a few close friends to study in Jiangning. In the remaining memory, Meng Ruogu seems to have been outside for more than ten days, accompanying a few scholars and friends to watch the scenery and scenery, chanting poems, and there is a book of poems of several people on the table ready for Meng Ruogu to write a preface!

Later, in order to write articles to Wang Anshi, Meng Ruogu stayed in the state to study. Thinking about it carefully, in the past two months, Meng Ruogu has only returned home once, and it is he who was framed and crossed!

Was that the night? Lin Zhao shook his head, he was particularly impressed at the beginning of the crossing. He clearly remembered that when he came that morning, Meng Ruogu read at night, stayed awake all night, and was still lying on the desk.

That being the case, where did Lee's pregnancy come from?
