Chapter 140: Death from the Sun
He stopped Old Man Tu and entered through the back door.
Digging and picking up in the coke pile, Lu Tingxiu's face was dirty, and Old Man Tu didn't recognize it at all, "Who are you?" ”
It was also a loss to Lu Tingxiu's embarrassment, otherwise he would be caught by the Hu family, and he was afraid that he would not even be able to enter the yamen.
After entering the yamen, Lu Ting Xiucai said: "Senior Tu, it's me." ”
Seeing that it was Lu Tingxiu, Old Man Tu was furious, "Okay, you Lu Tingxiu, are you brainy, or blind, you actually think that Xia Yatou is the murderer, and your conscience was eaten by a dog......"
The old man was angry, and it was useless for Lu Tingxiu to explain, although he let him scold, he naturally came back when he was tired of scolding.
Xu Mingming, who had just wiped his face clean, rushed over when he heard the scolding, and when he saw that it was Old Man Tu, he stood aside awkwardly.
Lu Tingxiu asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Xu Mingliang had a headache, "The news that Xia Qiu is a suspect somehow leaked the news, and now the whole city knows about it." The people of the Hu family are hyping up that you are biased against the murderer. ”
Lu Tingxiu said angrily: "Your people, it's time to clean it up." "Xia Qiu was arrested, except for Xu Mingming, there are few people who know about it.
Xu Mingliang was embarrassed, "The subordinates know their mistakes, and they will clean it up immediately." ”
"Is there any result from the autopsy?"
Xu Mingliang wiped his sweat, "It's still ...... Not yet. ”
Lu Tingxiu couldn't bear it, "Don't hurry up and urge it." ”
Xu Mingliang said: "The Hu family led the crowd to make trouble, and even the family elders were dispatched, they did not accept the autopsy, in addition to severely punishing the murderer, they also wanted to forcibly take away the corpse." ”
"Where's the murderer?" Lu Tingxiu's expression was cold, "Xia Qiu is just a suspect, is there any evidence that she killed someone?" The Hu family jumped up and down like this, in order to prevent us from dissecting the corpse, and even dared to talk about white teeth and slander us for harboring the murderer, did they have a ghost in their hearts, or were they shielding the real murderer? ”
No matter how tricky it is, Lord Zhixian has always been at ease, but he didn't expect that for the sake of Xia and Qiu, he would lose control.
Xu Mingliang wiped his sweat again and again, and immediately asked people to notify him to forcibly dissect him.
The old man Tu on the side, only then did he hear that the surnamed Lu was still standing on Xia Qiu's side and did not beat her to death with a stick. However, in the absence of conclusive evidence of murder, he took the liberty of arresting people in a prison cell, which is really hateful.
Lu Tingxiu thought for a moment and said to Xu Mingming: "Go and find out who is spreading rumors to slander the government, if the instigator is the mother of the Hu family or her son, first detain him." ”
Xu Mingliang took the order to leave, and Lu Tingxiu took out the jade medicine bottle, "Senior Tu, you came just in time, I found this thing from the murder scene, and I still need you to take care of it." ”
Old man Tu was angry and wanted to kill him again, but he still endured it.
Since he believes that Xia Qiu is not the murderer, then trust him for the time being, and it is important to work together to find the murderer.
The bottle was empty when the half-cork was hooked out with a knife, but a strong smell of medicine escaped.
Old man Tu smelled the smell of medicine and frowned.
Lu Tingxiu said eagerly: "Do you know what kind of medicine is in here?" ”
Old man Tu sniffed it a few more times, "This is very likely to be an aphrodisiac/yang medicine, but what exactly it is composed of, without a pill, I can't detect it." ”
Immediately afterwards, he asked Hu Donglai about men and women, and learned that he was looking for flowers and willows all year round, and instantly said with disdain: "This kind of jackal, tiger and leopard medicine will be hollowed out after a long time, and I think he will most likely die of loss of yang." Where the body is, I'll take a look. ”
Lu Tingxiu took him to the room, and at this time he was busy inside.
After touching the tea, the two were invited in.
Old man Tu looked at the skull and internal organs of the corpse, and shook his head with a sigh, "Come on, it was really a loss of yang and died, this was his own death, you immediately let Xia Yatou go." ”
Lu Tingxiu didn't understand medical skills, so he turned to look at Qi Zuo.
He wiped the blood from his hands, "The deceased's skull did not accumulate bruises, and his death was not directly related to the blow of the candlestick, but died of drug poisoning." ”
"Poisoned?" Lu Tingxiu was puzzled, "Didn't you lose your yang and die?" ”
"The deceased's severe liver and kidney failure is indeed consistent with the symptoms of impotence, but it is much more serious than impotence, and it is obviously acute poisoning."
Old man Tu didn't want to get involved more, no matter how he died, as long as it wasn't killed by Xia Yatou.
He immediately corrected his words if he didn't speak rigorously: "Please take a good look at his liver and kidneys, this is acute poisoning, the time is at least more than a month or two, and he died violently because the poison accumulated to the limit." Looking at his ghostly appearance, the old man dared to assert that he had overdosed on tiger and wolf medicine, and his hollowed out body couldn't bear it at all. ”
The so-called acute and chronic, each person's definition of time is different, and he did not refute the old man Tu, judging from the corrosion of the liver and kidney, it is indeed more than a month.
However, this does not clear Xia Qiu's suspicions, let alone release her because of this.
The first priority is to find out where the medicine comes from and what is in it?
Hu Donglai lingers in the flowers all the year round, and even several aunts in the family are redeemed from the land of fireworks, and there are also good friends in Goolan Courtyard, it is not difficult to find out about him.
The fast soldiers were divided into two ends, one went to Goolan Courtyard and the other went to Hufu.
After a while, the catchers came back with news.
Since Hu Donglai's death, the dozen or so aunts who have not given birth to children have basically fled with them, and those who stayed behind don't know anything, only saying that Hu Donglai likes the new and hates the old, and when he sees that they are old and decrepit, they are cold and alienated.
There is good news from Goolan Courtyard, Hu Donglai has taken care of the green calyx girl in Yingxianglou. The green calyx girl is a fan gang Hu girl, her appearance is very different from the woman of the Min Dynasty, she is good at the art of the boudoir, and she is very popular with Hu Donglai, and she basically stays overnight.
When Lu Cao learned of Hu Donglai's death, he was reluctant to cooperate with the official at first, but later he was arrested and cheated a few words, so he told the truth.
She was fostered half a year ago, and Hu Donglai had physical problems at that time, and she couldn't stand it at a critical time. Green Calyx secretly despised it, but this was a rich big fish, how could he let it go easily, so he gave him a secret recipe for Fanbang.
Since then, Hu Donglai has had to take pills every time, and has recently increased the dosage.
He quickly took the prescription back, as well as the medicine that Hu Donglai left in the green calyx.
There is still more than half a bottle of medicine, which should have been made not long ago.
Old man Tu took the prescription, it is indeed a tiger and wolf medicine, and if you take it for a long time, you will not reach the age of Ershun, but it will not die violently.
After confirming that the two bottles of medicine tasted the same, he took out two pills and planned to take them back to study.
Lu Tingxiu asked, "Senior Tu, how long will it take to research it?" ”
"Two days if it's fast, five days if it's slow." Old man Tu threatened with a cold face: "You are an official, and I don't embarrass you about Xia Yatou, but if she doesn't come out for a day, you have to take good care of her, if she has less hair, I have to settle accounts with you." ”
He regarded Xia Qiu as his daughter and wanted to visit her in prison, but the girl refused to see her.
Outside the prison, he also saw Jin and Wu Ze, who came over with food and stuffed silver for the jailer, but they couldn't even enter the prison gate.
I don't know what kind of medicine this dead girl sells in the gourd.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it." He didn't give orders, but according to Xu Mingming's temperament, it was strange that there was no special treatment.
