Chapter 300: Fiction and Reality
After Mo Kunlun was silent for a long time, he suddenly said, "Since I can't let Song Xi come forward to investigate, then I can ask Lord County Shou to come forward to inquire." The tool of the crime must be oil, and there is no need to think much about the time of the crime, we all know why the motive is, as for the process, it is nothing more than those few steps, just find out the specific evidence, and I am not afraid that he will not admit guilt. ”
Zhu Xingyi snorted lightly, clenched his fists and said: "Specific evidence? A fire is burned clean, how can there be any specific evidence, if you can see Mrs. Chen's body, there may be some clues, but now it is ......"
"It's a big deal to sneak a post-mortem. Long Xi (Song Xi) said casually, "Or like this, now that the two roads can't be taken, then take the third one." Isn't the case of sixteen years ago unresolved, since all indications indicate that this murder is related to the robbery of that year, let's start the investigation from the robbery. ”
Several people glanced at each other, and they all smiled knowingly, Long Xi's (Song Xi)'s previous proposal was too shocking, but it didn't mean that it was not feasible.
According to the law of the dynasty, those who died unexpectedly must go through the government to examine the body, and if they were forcibly refused, they could suspect that the relatives of the deceased and the murderer had a previous affair.
In fact, this law has long been in the criminal code of this dynasty, but because of the influence of the idea that the dead are the greatest, and the earth is safe, there are still many people who are unwilling to let the body of their relatives be examined, and the government complied with the will of the people and did not force the autopsy.
But now the situation is different, they want to conduct an autopsy, but the Chen government will not allow it, this law just comes in handy, and there is no need to steal, they can come to the door and ask for an autopsy in a bright and open manner.
If the Chen Mansion is not allowed, it must be allowed if it is not allowed, and the rules are in hand, who dares to disobey them?
But before that, they have to figure out one thing first, whether Mrs. Chen was burned to death or burned after death, and the gap is huge.
The best answer to this answer is, of course, Chen Shengxiao.
The five of them summed it up again, and they all felt that it was best to let Mo Kunlun come forward. He could contact the county guard directly and ask for details of the fire in the name of investigating the case.
Zhao Kuo naturally stepped up his investigation into the truth of the robbery that year. Long Xi (Song Xi) suddenly remembered that squire named Qin Fusheng, he was very old, and he had been in Chaoyun County for a long time, and he should have gained a lot from asking him about Chen Shengxiao's details.
As for Zhu Xingyi, he is still doing his job well, and after Mo Kunlun confirms Chen Shengxiao's confession, he can move out of the court law to ask for an autopsy, and then the truth will naturally be known.
"Brother Song, can I make a request. Seeing that everyone had finished the division of labor, Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun), who had nothing left behind, was very unwilling to speak out.
"What request?" Long Xi (Song Xi) was in a good mood because of the good development trend of the case, so he no longer cared about the little boy making fun of her, and asked very generously.
Zhao Kaizhi (Mokun) has relaxed a lot since he learned that he will not be affected by the robbery, and he is also very active in investigating the robbery. He looked at Zhu Xingyi, then at Long Xi (Song Xi), and said hesitantly: "Can I not follow you to investigate the case, I want to follow Brother Zhu ......"
Long Xi (Song Xi) thought that something made him hesitate so much, and she was happy when she heard this, she had already found out that this kid was very interested in the autopsy, especially when she saw Zhu Xingyi's serious energy, she seemed to be eager to go up and do it herself.
In the past few days, he often looks at some notes and books that Zhu Xingyi carries with him, and he always pulls Zhu Xingyi to ask questions, which looks like a diligent and inquisitive primary school student.
This profession may have had no status in ancient times, but in Long Xi (Song Xi)'s view, this is a righteous profession that speaks for the dead and lets the bones speak, which is no different from the police. What's more, Zhu Xingyi is not an ordinary work, he is a talented man with the fame of the palace, it is a good thing to study with him, she has no reason to refuse.
"Of course you can, Ziwei is a rich learner, you can follow him and study hard. Long Xi (Song Xi) patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and then turned to Zhu Xing, "Although this kid's mouth is a little poisonous, he is still a very good little boy, Ziwei, you can teach him well." ”
"Yanlan has a life, how dare I disobey?" said Zhu Xingyi.
"I'm not young anymore!you old woman!" Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) bared his teeth in dissatisfaction.
Long Xi (Song Xi) was furious and slapped the table: "Who do you say is the old woman!"
"You, you can't get married at the age of twenty-five, what is it if you are not an old woman?" Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) grimaced at her and ran out with a smoke.
Long Xi (Song Xi) ran out to look for him angrily, leaving three men laughing in the room.
With the goal in mind, several people quickly set out to act.
The fastest progress is on Long Xi (Song Xi), Qin Fusheng originally liked her very much, plus she walked around the Qin Mansion diligently, accompanied the old man to eat and drink, bragged about the sea, coaxed the old man to curl his beard happily, and didn't tell her any rural secrets.
To Long Xi (Song Xi) was surprised that Chen Shengxiao was actually a native of Chaoyun County, because he was a world friend, the old lady Qin could even tell Long Xi (Song Xi) those interesting things when he was a child.
Now Long Xi (Song Xi) doesn't understand, if Chen Shengxiao is really from Chaoyun County, how dare he return to his hometown as if nothing happened after the monstrous disaster?
But it is impossible to say that Qin Fusheng lied, after all, the Chen family is also famous in ten miles and eight townships, and she can confirm the truth of the matter by asking others, so that the entire Chaoyun County will not be bought by Chen Shengxiao.
"So, has this Chen Shengxiao ever taken the test for fame or gone out to do business?" Long Xi (Song Xi) was inconvenient to ask Chen Shengxiao directly if he had left Chaoyun County for a long time, so he thought of such a tortuous question.
"Why do you keep asking about the Chen family today? Don't you see that his original partner has passed away and want to make a continuation for him?" Qin Fusheng said happily, "Although you are older, what does such a good big girl do, if you are really anxious, I will ask someone to tell you, it is still easy to find a scholarly family." ”
Long Xi (Song Xi) wants to cry without tears, where is this, she endured it when she was old, anyway, she was often ridiculed by Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun), but what kind of trouble did she want to make a continuation for others, there were obviously three handsome guys and a beautiful lady around her who went in and out with her, how could she fall in love with Chen Shengxiao's unidentified half-old man?
"Ah, after all, Boss Chen is good to us, and now I'm sad that this kind of thing has happened to his family, so I want to inquire more about his family to see if there is anything I can do to help." After soothing his wounded heart, Long Xi (Song Xi) gave a reasonable explanation.
Qin Fusheng smiled and answered her question very seriously: "This kid doesn't talk about taking a reputation test, even if he hasn't read a few books. It is not uncommon for him to go out to do business, but it is only in recent years, he used to live in the county, and most of the merchants who come and go are from the county. ”
"He hadn't been out of the house ten years ago? How could it be!" Long Xi (Song Xi) subconsciously asked.
Now she has decided that he is one of the robbers, but Qin Fusheng said that he has not been out of the house ten years ago, doesn't this completely deny her speculation?
"You girl still can't believe me? Chaoyun Jun said that it's not a big deal, I am also friends with the Chen family, watching that kid grow up, what will I not know about him?" Qin Fu's angry beard curled up, and he asked with big eyes, "He will inspect those shops every day, how can he have time to go out." ”
"No, no, where is the old man who can't be trusted, I just think it's a little strange, he has such a large-scale business, how can he not go far away?" Long Xi (Song Xi) waved his hand again and again.
Qin Fusheng stroked his white beard, shook his head and sighed: "How can it be impossible not to go far away, it's just that something happened to his family, and Lao Chen has palpitations." ”
"What's the matter?" Long Xi (Song Xi) eyes lit up, and the gossip factors all over her body were mobilized, and her intuition told her that this matter was very important.
"Lao Chen originally had two sons, the eldest was called Chen Xiangfei, the younger was called Chen Shengxiao, and the eldest was three years older than the youngest. At the age of twelve, he began to follow Lao Chen to the north and south, and when he was fifteen years old, he went out to do business alone, saying that he would come back for the New Year, and there was no news about him if he wanted to leave, and the government looked for a long time to find his whereabouts, and it turned out that he was killed by the bandits in Guanzhong. Lao Chen was also seriously ill for this reason, and after he recovered from his illness, he was never allowed to go out again, for fear that he would also encounter something unexpected, and no one would send him to his death. ”
Qin Fusheng couldn't help but sigh when he mentioned this: "If you want to say that Chen Xiangfei is also a good boy and a good businessman, who would have thought that he would end up like this? So, it wasn't until Lao Chen died ten years ago that Chen Shengxiao began to go out to do business, otherwise where would he be able to go out." ”
Long Xi (Song Xi) didn't expect this to happen, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
If this matter is true, then it is impossible for Chen Shengxiao to have time to hijack the official silver on the official road outside the capital, which means that her previous inference is completely wrong. Shouldn't she tell the other people to go as soon as possible, so that they don't waste their efforts?
"Girl, why are you in a daze?" Qin Fusheng, who was smiling at his aunt, pushed a plate of dim sum in front of her, and said happily, "Eat, this is a hibiscus roll just sent from the kitchen, why are you in a daze!"
Long Xi (Song Xi) picked up a piece of exquisite pastry, but he was not in a hurry to eat it, he just played with it at his fingertips, frowning and muttering: "It's not him, who is it, if it's not him, why is he in trouble." ”
"What is he not talking about. Qin Fusheng took the pastry, took two bites, and ate it happily, Bai Huahua's beard was full of crumbs.
Long Xi (Song Xi) let out a long sigh and silently put the things back on the plate.
