Everyone was silent, and then they remembered the true identity of the young man in front of them, although his tone was kind, but when he started the fire, there was a feeling that made people's hairs stand on end.

Duan Fei slowed down his tone and said to Cao Fang: "Cao Fang, are you sure that Li Tui had no other external injuries before receiving family law?" ”

Cao Fang thought for a while and said: "No, he was in good health in those days, and he was looking for fun everywhere before beating Li Quan, and after beating Li Quan, he knew that he was afraid, and he didn't dare to go out after hiding at home for a few days, and he didn't find anything wrong every day." ”

Duan Fei frowned and said: "Twenty whips will be beaten to the flesh at most, and he will never beat people to death, since he was not injured before, is it after the fact?" Cao Fang, do you remember whether Li Quan's condition got better or worse after he was whipped? Or is it a sudden turn for the worse one day? ”

Cao Fang said in amazement: "How do you know, my lord?" His injuries had gradually improved, but that day they suddenly worsened, he was unconscious and vomited blood, and the doctor he invited could not explain anything, only that the trauma caused bleeding from the internal organs...... He was prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine, saying that it could treat internal injuries, but it did not work after drinking it, and Li Tui died in the afternoon of the second day......"

Duan Fei said, "Before his injuries suddenly changed, did you ever leave his side?" Has anyone been waiting for him? ”

Cao Fang said categorically: "Yes, I have been serving by his side, almost never closing my eyes, and the fourth lady and the maid Xiaoliu, we take turns to serve him, but ......"

Cao Fang recalled: "On the night when Ah Tui's condition suddenly became serious, a strange thing happened, Xiao Liu should have come to replace me on the first watch, but she didn't come, and I fell asleep unconsciously, and I didn't wake up until the third watch to call her, and in the morning she ran to wake me up with a panicked face, saying that Ah Tui was no longer good......

Duan Fei looked at the four Li Mansion family members and asked, "Did any outsiders come to the Li Mansion that night?" Or has something strange happened? ”

Everyone shook their heads together, saying that the time was too long to remember, more than ten years, Duan Fei didn't force them to think of anything, he thought about it, and found that he had nothing to ask, so he uncovered the mystery and said: "Li Tui did not die of family law, but died of murder, maybe on the night when you thought something strange happened, after you fell asleep, someone came to Li Tui's bed and broke the third rib in Li Tui's chest with some heavy object or other means, which caused Li Tui to die of serious injuries." ”

"What!" Everyone present in the Li family blurted out in surprise, and Duan Fei said: "It seems that Li Quan is very suspicious, and when he arrives, the truth will be revealed." ”

The eldest lady snorted and said, "It's still an adult, I'll just say, Li Tui's body is not bad, how can he be killed with twenty lashes?" This damn Li Quan has caused me to suffer more than ten years of injustice......"

"Not in vain? I'm bah, even if Tui'er wasn't killed by Li Quan, sooner or later he would die at your hands! The fourth lady said hatefully.

Duan Fei said: "Big lady, although Li Tui did not die at your hands, but you also have an unshirkable responsibility for committing murder, this official will punish you to personally welcome back Li Tui's bones and bury them in the Li family's cemetery, and compensate the fourth lady and Cao Fang for 5,000 taels of silver each, can you forgive the punishment?" ”

"Thank you for your forgiveness, the old man is willing to accept the punishment." The old lady said.

The fourth lady and Cao Fang couldn't help crying, people can't be resurrected after death, and that's all Duan Fei can do for them.

Duan Fei shook his head gently, Li Tui's case was basically settled, but the White Bone Case was not over yet, everything had to wait for that Li Quan to come back.

The old lady ordered someone to take 10,000 taels of silver on the spot and handed it to the fourth lady and Cao Fang, and then agreed to go back to the day to welcome back Li Tui's bones, and several women retreated, Duan Fei drank a cup of tea accompanied by Li Ningyuan, only to see Jiao Yang running quickly, and after entering the hall, he said to Duan Fei: "My lord, it's not good, when we found Li Quan, he happened to be drunk and fell into the ditch and drowned, my eldest brother is now guarding the corpse, let me come back and report to the adult." ”

"Dead!" Duan Fei got up and said: "It's not early, it's not too late, he just died when we found him, what a coincidence, let's go, go to the scene and take a look!" ”

Duan Fei's riding skills became more and more exquisite, and when he came to Yangfang Hutong, Hua Ming was only half a horse faster than him.

I saw a group of people watching at the end of the alley, Hua Ming shouted, the onlookers dodged away, Jiao Xu was guarding a corpse with a knife in the crowd, seeing Duan Fei coming, he hurriedly reported to Duan Feiyu: "My lord, this is Li Quan, he died in the ditch when we found him, and no one saw how he fell." ”

Duan Fei's face is not very good, he went around in such a big circle, and it took so much effort to find a clue related to the East Factory, but now it is broken, the people of the East Factory are really fast, presumably seeing that there is no carrier pigeon to send a message, there have always been people guarding the gates of the city, and after seeing Duan Fei and them entering the city, they went straight to Li's house, and immediately knew that the matter could not be hidden, so they first killed Li Quan, so that Duan Fei could no longer investigate.

"Janssen! Autopsy! Duan Fei shouted loudly, Yang Sen promised to jump off the horse and pounce directly in front of the corpse, Duan Fei flicked the horse's head, pointed at the people around him with a horse whip and shouted: "What do you see, what is there to look at the dead?" Spread them all out for me, and whoever dares to stay here will be arrested and convicted of the murderer's complicity! ”

There may be spies from Dongchang among the onlookers, but who cares about them, Duan Fei is in a bad mood now, and these guys who like to watch the excitement have become the target of Duan Fei's venting.

"Spread out, whoever dares to stay around and peek will be arrested for me!" Hua Ming commanded the Jinyi guards to drive people away, and the onlookers dispersed, and no one around dared to stop.

Yang Sen turned the corpse over, turned his back to the sky, looked at the eyelids of the corpse, pried open his mouth again, sniffed his nose, and then pressed the corpse's stomach with the wooden stick he picked up, Yang Sen said with certainty: "My lord, he did not drown, and he did not drink, he had the smell of blood in his mouth, but there was no smell of wine and the mud in the ditch, and the water in his stomach did not rise, it can be seen that he was dead when he fell into the ditch, his eyes were bloodshot, his chest collapsed, and his mouth was bloody. ”

Duan Fei muttered: "It seems that the person who killed Li Tui at the beginning is much stronger than the original, or maybe this time he doesn't need to hide anything, he can go all out...... Bring the corpse back for re-examination, big brother, you take Shi Bin and them to visit the neighborhood to see if anyone has seen Li Quan, Hua Ming, Li Quan's family and anyone else today, bring them back to me. ”
