Chapter 8 The famous doctor Bai Xiaosheng hanged himself

"It's long overdue!" Song Ruilong found a chair, and after sitting down, he gently shook the fan and listened carefully to Huang Qiulian's story, for fear of missing important links.

Huang Qiulian swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "One morning three days ago, around five o'clock in the morning, after I heard the sound of the door being opened, I looked in front of the gate and asked Steward Chen what was going on. At that time, Steward Chen said that a stranger had been cut by a robber, and he wanted to bandage the wound immediately. I didn't care about it at the time, after all, it's normal for a lot of people to be hunted down by robbers. ”

Song Ruilong's eyes flashed, and he said, "This matter seems to be normal, there is nothing wrong with it."

Huang Qiulian echoed: "The women also thought so at the time, so they didn't inquire too much about it. Later, in the afternoon, my husband came to my room and said that he had received a treasure. He was as happy as if he had a son. The woman asked him what kind of treasure he was, and he said that I was a woman's family, so why did I ask so much. The woman was afraid that the old man would be angry, so she didn't ask again. This matter, the woman thought that it could be settled, but at night, my husband and Steward Chen secretly in the backyard did not know what to dump, as if they were turning over the soil. The next morning, I went to the backyard to have a look, and there were indeed traces of being turned over, but I didn't ask the master what he was doing there. ”

After Song Ruilong connected this series of events, he said: "Injured stranger, treasure, turn over the earth." None of this happened by accident, and there is a lot of correlation between it. ”

Song Ruilong was about to deduce his conclusion, when Shen Jing, the deputy head catcher, asked to see him outside the door.

Song Ruilong asked him to come into the house and reply.

Shen Jing held the big knife in his hand, and after entering the house, he saluted Song Ruilong, and said: "My lord, according to the instructions of the eldest master, my subordinates took three servants to the house of the famous doctor Bai Xiaosheng to take a look, which shocked my subordinates."

Song Ruilong's face was heavy, and he said, "Did Bai Xiaosheng be killed?"

Shen Jing nodded and said, "Exactly." Bai Xiaosheng hanged himself. ”

Song Ruilong stood up in surprise and said, "Can you be sure that it was a suicide?"

Shen Jing said: "It can be determined that it was a suicide that was faked."

"Oh!" Song Ruilong said with some surprise: "Let's hear it."

Shen Jing said: "According to the careful investigation of the subordinates at the scene of the crime, the medicinal materials on the ground were scattered all over the ground, and there were traces of a fight. Although the killer cleaned up the scene of the crime after the killing, there was still a lot of residue left on the ground. Also, the medicinal materials in the medicinal herb drawer are not the same, it should have been placed in angelica, but there was psyllium in it, which was originally put in oxknee, but there was Zhimu in it. As a famous Langzhong in Ping'an County, Bai Xiaosheng couldn't even put the wrong medicinal materials, so his subordinates concluded that the medicinal materials must have been put in by the murderer. ”

Song Ruilong nodded in agreement: "In addition, is there any other evidence that Bai Xiaosheng committed suicide?"

"Yes!" Shen Jing said categorically: "Judging from Bai Xiaosheng's death, his eyes are turned upward, and there are obvious scratches on his neck, according to the speculation of his subordinates, it should be the marks left by tearing the white silk on his neck with his hands." Also, the subordinates checked the beam in the house, and there were traces of Bai Aya's friction on the beam, it should be that after the murderer wrapped Bai Xiaosheng's neck with Bai Aya, he flew over the beam with light skills, and pulled Bai Xiaosheng up with Bai Aya, until he lost his breath. There is another point that the murderer did the worst. ”

Shen Jing paused, and Song Ruilong followed up and asked, "Which point?"

Shen Jing said: "If the deceased hanged himself, then he would not choose a very low stool. After his subordinates straightened the stool under Bai Xiaosheng's feet, his subordinates found that the stool was still an inch high from Bai Xiaosheng's feet, even if Bai Xiaosheng could pull Bai Aya and jump up, it would be difficult for him to put Bai Aya around his neck, so his subordinates concluded that Bai Xiaosheng was a fake hanged suicide after being strangled to death with Bai Aya by others first. ”

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "This county knows." What about corpses? ”

"The subordinates have ordered someone to carry the body back to the morgue of the county office, waiting for the adults to examine it."

Song Ruilong nodded and said, "You did a good job, wait outside the door first."

"Yes!" Shen Jing said loudly very seriously.

Song Ruilong pondered in his heart that Lang Zhong Baixiao was born and dead, and his death obviously had a certain relationship with Zhou Shicheng's death. The murderer should have wanted to kill Zhou Shicheng by Bai Xiaosheng's hand, and then forge the illusion that Bai Xiaosheng committed suicide in fear of crime, his purpose was to make Zhou Shicheng's death disappear with Bai Xiaosheng's death.

A smile appeared on the corner of Song Ruilong's mouth, and he said secretly in his heart: "It's just a pity that the person you met who decided the case is this county, and this county will definitely find out about this matter."

Huang Qiulian had just listened to Shen Jing's report, and she was very surprised and said, "How could Bai Xiaosheng die?" He is a famous doctor in our Ping'an County. ”

Zhang Meixian, who was sitting on the side, suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Hey, this Bai Xiaosheng must have treated someone to death when he was treating others, and the relatives of the deceased were looking for revenge on him."

Song Ruilong glared at Zhang Meixian and said, "Mother, if you are fine, go back to the county office to rest for a while, the child is busy handling the case."

Zhang Meixian said: "Hey, aren't I also helping you analyze the case?"

Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "My mother, don't make a mess."

"Humph! Don't let me talk too much, raising you so big for nothing. Zhang Meixian's eyes rolled twice, and she sat down at the table again.

Song Ruilong looked at Huang Qiulian and said slowly, "Where did we just go?"

Huang Qiulian thought for a moment and said, "The woman just talked about turning over the soil, right! It's turning over the soil. When the woman got up in the morning, she went to the back garden to see that there were traces of being turned over in the garden, and I don't know what my husband buried there. I don't know why he didn't let the other people in the garden know. ”

Song Ruilong suddenly said: "That's right, I think your husband's death must have a lot to do with the turning of the soil in the back garden."

Huang Qiulian was surprised and said, "Ah! My husband turned over the soil and knocked himself to death? ”

Song Ruilong said: "Go!" Hurry to the back garden, I think you just need to open what your husband has buried, and it won't be far from solving the case. ”

Song Ruilong, under the leadership of Huang Qiulian, took Shen Jing, the deputy head catcher, and three officials to the back garden, and under the guidance of Huang Qiulian, those officials took shovels and immediately dug up.

After digging more than seven inches, Song Ruilong saw a very strange thing, and he immediately ordered his subordinates to stop digging.

What exactly is that thing buried in the garden? This surprised many people present.

The Yuexiang Inn is unusually lively. When a man with a full face was brought to Liu Tianxiong by two officials, many people were talking.

"It's not a good thing to look at him, his face is a face of evil."

"I think the person who killed Ning Tianxiang's boss must be him. You see that his arms are thick and powerful, fierce and vicious, and he is still the master who often kills pigs and sheep, if he picks up a knife and kills Ning Tianxiang with one sword, I absolutely believe it. ”

Liu Tianxiong also looked at the man carefully, and his impression of him was not very good. He stared at the man and said, "You're Chef Spicy Nine Days?"

"Get on your knees!" A servant behind Spicy Jiutian kicked Spicy Jiutian's leg and wrist, kicking Spicy Jiutian to his knees on the ground.

Spicy Jiutian was still unconvinced, his eyes glared at Liu Tianxiong, and he said angrily: "I don't know what crime the villain has committed? Master invited the villain here? ”

Liu Tianxiong lifted the teapot and "snapped", slapped the teapot on the table, and said sharply: "How did you put the drug into the teapot in the spicy nine days, and how did you steal Chu Tianpeng's dagger in the middle of the night and kill Ning Tianxiang?" Recruit from the truth! ”

Spicy Jiutian glared at Liu Tianxiong and sneered: "Master, I heard you right, right? Is that how you try cases? If you ask this question, do others have to admit that they are the murderers? ”

"Bold and spicy for nine days, you dare to talk to the master like this, you don't want to live anymore?" A servant behind Spicy Jiutian said angrily.

"I've been spicy for nine days, and I met Lord Thorn Shi, and that's what Lord Shi said. What's more, he is a little master, what qualifications does he have to let me kneel? Spicy Jiutian looked at Liu Tianxiong coldly.

Liu Tianxiong glared at Spicy Jiutian and said, "According to the rules of this county, the master can try the case on behalf of the county magistrate." This master is now exercising the rights of the prefectural magistrate. Liu Tianxiong shook the waist card of the county order in front of him, and said: "You can see it clearly in the spicy nine days, now it is the county commander who is asking, if you are obsessed, this master will sentence you to despise the court and hit the thirty boards."

"Slap" Liu Tianxiong slapped the teapot again, and he was so frightened that Jiutian shivered, and said, "Don't dare." The villain didn't dare. ”

Liu Tianxiong said proudly: "Honestly, did you put drugs in the teapot last night?"
