Chapter 33: The Same Way of Death

He originally planned to say a few words of defense for the fake county order, after all, the deceased was a Zhengyang County official who came with him, but after thinking about it, since he handed over the investigation to Li Canghai, he had to believe him.

What's more, Li Canghai is thoughtful, he believes that he will not let go of a bad person, and at the same time, he will not wronged a good person.

After pondering in his heart for a moment, Liang Xiu waved his hand and said, "Master Li, what Canghai said is reasonable, you are the most suspicious among the six people, please stay in the guest room for a few more days during this time." To find out the situation, the official will return justice to Lord Li. ”

"The lower officials obey the wishes of the adults, and I hope that the adults can find the real culprit as soon as possible and give the cattle a fair life!" The fake county magistrate looked at Li Canghai deeply, frowned slightly, and then walked to the back hall with the two officials.

"Canghai, this official thinks that this matter should not be done by the Zhengyang County Order, why do you want to target him so much?" Liang Xiu stroked his beard and frowned.

Li Canghai made a booing gesture and said in a deep voice: "My lord doesn't know, this person is involved in another matter, and I will tell my lord when I investigate this matter clearly." ”

Liang Xiu was a little stunned and said, "How could he be involved in so many things?" ”

Li Canghai chuckled a few times, the most incomprehensible thing in this world is the human heart, if the truth is known to him, Liang Xiu may not be surprised.

After the forbidden, Li Canghai devoted himself to the case in front of him.

"Chengtou, after you left the inn, did you come into contact with anyone?"

Chengtou is a famous catcher, his mood is much better than the other four, and he has come out of the fright at this time.

"Back to my lord, we didn't leave the inn, only Niu Fugui really left." Cheng Tou remembered Niu Fugui's terrifying death, and he still had palpitations.

"Huh? What's going on? Liang Xiu asked on the side.

"Back to my lord, I want to go out and buy some because the wine in the inn is tasteless. However, we were restricted from entering and exiting again, so we thought of a way, the four of us took cover, and then let Niu Fugui turn out of the corner. Cheng replied tremblingly.

Liang Xiu blew his beard angrily on the side, and he pointed at a few people and scolded: "The dignified servant actually did something over the wall in order to drink, do you still have a little tolerance majesty?" ”

Cheng Tou and the others didn't dare to come out when they were scolded by him, and nodded their heads again and again.

Li Canghai pondered for a moment and asked, "Niu Fugui has said that what strange things or people have he encountered?" Where did you buy this wine? ”

Cheng Tou and several officials looked at each other a few times, shook their heads and said, "He didn't say that he encountered strange things, but he did say that this wine was bought from 'Jixianglou'." ”

"Jixianglou?" Li Canghai muttered a few words repeatedly.

"Jixianglou is a wine shop, located in the southeast corner of the post house, and it is only a quarter of an hour's walk away." Liang Xiu's understanding of Luoyang was much deeper than his, and he knew that Li Canghai would definitely go to the 'Jixiang Building' next, so he said in advance.

Li Canghai closed his eyes, simulating in his mind the route of Niu Fugui going over the wall to buy wine, there are three roads to Jixianglou, one of which is the main road and two small roads.

Since Niu Fugui ran out secretly, it is obvious that he will not choose the main road with many people. There are two roads left, but there are some detours, so which route did Niu Fugui choose?

Li Canghai thought for a moment, and finally patted his head, Luoyang City, as the former capital, had complex lanes and traffic, which was simply beyond his imagination. These three paths were only what he had seen with his own eyes, and he did not dare to be sure of the routes he had not seen.

At this moment, Xiao Wu, who performed the autopsy, suddenly let out a shock.

Li Canghai hurriedly walked over, although Xiao Wu had learned the skills of the old man, but the decades of experience and insight of the old man were not something he could learn.

When he saw the stunned look on Xiao Wu's face, he knew that Xiao Wu must have discovered something.

"Little Five, what's going on?" Li Canghai asked.

Xiao Wu sorted out his panicked emotions and said, "My lord, this corpse ...... Except for the bruise on his forehead, there were no scars on his body. Moreover, the deceased's whole body was stiff and cold, very similar to the condition of the previous corpse. ”

Li Canghai knew that the corpse in his mouth was actually the corpse of the gopher gate man lurking in Di Mansion, and after carefully examining the corpse, he found that what Xiao Wu said was true.

"Bring a knife." Li Canghai pressed the abdomen of the corpse, took the sharp blade from Xiao Wu's hand, and after finding the correct position, he used the knife to make a cut in the abdomen of the corpse.

Liang Xiu and the others saw that he took out a piece of internal organs from the abdomen of the corpse as usual, and a feeling of nausea rushed from the abdomen to his throat, almost making them vomit.

"Ah, there's thin ice in the house, and there's insects in there!" Xiao Wu said in surprise.

Li Canghai nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, "Yes, this is the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm'." ”

Casually putting the internal organs containing the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm' into the abdomen of the deceased, Li Canghai suddenly fell into deep thought.

"'Xuanbing Gu Worm', it's this kind of bug again, what kind of bug is this? Why did both corpses have this bug? ”

Li Canghai couldn't figure it out, there was this worm in the body of the gopher gate, and there was also a Gu worm in the corpse in front of him, was it all a coincidence?

Although the real cause of death of the Gopher Gate Man was not the 'Xuanbing Gu Worm', the appearance of those bugs out of thin air was a strange thing in itself.

"Has the real cause of the deceased been found?" Li Canghai touched his nose and asked with a solemn expression.

"There were no signs of poisoning on the corpse, no external scars, and if it weren't for the bugs, I could tell...... Died of poisoning in alcohol. Xiao Wu pondered for a moment and said with some hesitation.

Li Canghai was slightly surprised and asked, "Poisoned by Chinese wine?" Are you probably sure? ”

Xiao Wu checked the body again, this time he nodded vigorously, and said solemnly: "I can be sure that the deceased did die of alcohol poisoning." ”

Li Canghai also followed the corpse to experience it, and it was indeed as Xiao Wu said, the corpse was very drunk and seemed to have drunk a lot of wine.

"My lord, could it be that Niu Fugui drank too much and hallucinated under drunkenness, so he became so crazy?" Cheng Tou and the others stood outside the grass hut and heard the conversation between the two, so they whispered.

"How much does Niu Fugui drink?" Li Canghai raised his head and asked Chengtou.

"Lord Hui, Niu Fugui has a very good amount of wine, like Du Kang's spirits, he can drink three jars in one go and not get drunk." Cheng Tou cautiously replied.

Li Canghai walked out of the grass shed, he grabbed a straw casually, bit it in his mouth, and asked, "How much wine did he drink before the accident?" ”

Cheng tilted his head and recalled: "There was probably more than one jar, and I also thought it strange at the time, with his alcoholic temperament, how could he not drink good wine, and he was already drunk after just drinking one jar." ”

According to him, Niu Fugui drank so well that how could he get drunk after drinking a jar? Unless, he's already drunk before he returns. Li Canghai paced back and forth a few steps, and gradually had some speculations in his heart.

Cheng Tou and the others looked at him in amazement, and sighed almost incredulously: "My lord, how do you know? Indeed, as the adults said, Niu Fugui was already seven points drunk when he came back. ”

Li Canghai gradually had a direction in his heart, and Niu Fugui obviously returned to the post house after drinking outside.

He felt that he needed to go to the 'Jixiang Building' for a visit.
