317 The Drowning Man (Three Watches)
Song Ning and Zhao Yi were Yangxin, who arrived after dark, and they lit up the text and waist cards to enter the city.
Wu Xian lives at the Futong Inn in the middle of Yangxin City.
As soon as the two of them got off the horse at the inn, they saw Wuxian pounce out like a happy bird.
"My lord, Zhao Zhutou."
As he spoke, he stood in front of the two of them with a smile and excitement.
"How did you think we would come today?" Song Ning handed over the horse to the little maid, and the three of them entered the inn together, Wu Xian smiled and said, "I've been messing around with Ma Santong for a long time, and I can do this kind of ability to pinch my fingers." ”
"Besides, with your curiosity, my letter is so well written, you can't help but want to find out."
Song Ning kicked him: "Treat me to dinner, Zhao Zhutou and I are very hungry." ”
"Well, good wine and good food." Zhao Yi added.
Wu Xian said to Zhao Yi: "Lord Wang, it is truly embodied in your place, the one who is close to ink is black, you, you have been taken by someone." ”
"You say I'm bad?" Zhao Yi asked him rhetorically.
Wuxian waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, hello, you're great." ”
Zhao Yi ignored him.
Because it was late, the back kitchen of the inn was closed, and only one cook could order noodles or something.
Song Ning and Zhao Yi have a bowl of noodles per person.
"Tell me what happened."
Wu Xian replied: "Just yesterday, after I arrived in Yangxin, I came to meet Master Zhang with the letter, and we chatted a few words, but I didn't expect the conversation to be quite happy." ”
"Unexpectedly, someone came to report to the official, saying that there was a corpse floating in Fengtong Lake, and the corpse was a local."
"Mr. Zhang didn't want to go, so I said that I was going to give a lecture over there, and we walked around, which also showed that he was a good county official. Mr. Zhang agreed, and after arriving at Wanghu Pavilion, he conducted an autopsy, saying that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned. ”
Song Ning frowned: "If you drown, you will drown, why can you determine on the spot that it was an accidental drowning?" ”
His homicidal drowning and suicide drowning are difficult problems in autopsy, not to mention the current inspection conditions, if there are no obvious traces of homicide on the body, it is difficult to distinguish immediately.
"Said to be very clean." Wu Xian said, "There are no scars on his body such as fighting. If it is drowned, there are scars anyway. Wuxian said: "I think what he said is too absolute, so I was not convinced, and retorted twice, saying that he didn't make sense." ”
"I, I made a bet with Zhang Zhifeng and that servant, saying that I would invite my family to come. If they lose, Zhang Zhifeng will give me ten jars of Luoyun Mountain Bamboo Yeqing. ”
"Zhu Yeqing, you like to drink it, right, let's get it when the time comes, leave a jar to drink, and we will sell the rest, a jar of six taels of silver."
Song Ning took out two chopsticks and knocked on Wu Xian's hand.
"Pit me, believe it or not, I will immediately go to the Holy Lord and blow myself up in front of you, so that your head will fall to the ground!"
Wuxian was stunned: "Also, there is the word self-explosion?" ”
Zhao Yi chuckled and said, "It's not too late for you to know now." ”
Wuxian clenched his fists: "You are ruthless, Lord Song is ruthless." ”
Song Ning glanced at him. This case is really challenging, and it's a shame to pull her out for ten jars of wine.
"Although I dare not say that it is definitely accurate, it makes sense. There is no external injury on the body, not to mention that it is definitely not killed by him, at least the probability is small. ”
"You deny others on the spot, where do you get your confidence?"
Wu Xian's face turned white, and he asked cautiously, "I—I did something wrong?" ”
Song Ning gave him a look of his own experience.
"Your Excellency." Wu Xian grabbed Song Ning's arm and moved a stool to her, "My lord, I also investigated the case with a questioning attitude, this is what you taught me." ”
Syllable!
Uxian's hand was pumped by chopsticks again.
He snorted and looked at Zhao Yi innocently.
"Take your hand away."
Wu Xian clasped his hands and looked at the two people aggrievedly: "For the sake of ten jars of wine, or ...... Let's create an unjust case? ”
"Lord Wang, take out your privileges and cut this kid." Song Ning said.
"Good!" Zhao Yi wanted to draw his knife.
Wu Xian hugged his head and wailed, and his heart and liver began to tremble with regret.
After eating the noodles, Song Ning said to Wu Xian: "The deceased is parked in the yamen? ”
"Yes." Wuxian asked, "Do you want to go to the autopsy now?" ”
Song Ning nodded: "It's all here, go and take a look." ”
An autopsy is done sooner rather than later.
"You're not mad at me?"
Song Ning said: "You can decide at a glance that what you said is wrong, sometimes fate is also very wonderful." ”
"Fate?" Wu Xian shook his head.
Song Ning said while packing up his baggage: "Yes, you have a fate with the deceased. ”
Wuxian's scalp was numb, and he was on all sides: "I, I'll just say it casually, what about fate, you must not believe it." ”
"I'll be a good person and a good deed."
Song Ning laughed angrily and pushed him away: "I heard that singing can drive away ghosts, you can sing opera." ”
Wuxian really babbled and sang.
In the deserted streets, his broken gong voice is even more "ghost-summoning." ”
The three of them went to the county office.
The county government was on duty at night, Song Ning knocked on the door directly, and the messenger opened the door with a shout, and was about to lose his temper when he saw two faces under the lantern.
A month ago in Xixia Mountain, he followed Zhang Zhifeng to the mountain.
On the mountain, he saw with his own eyes the prince of Qi and the Song Tuiguan of Jinan Mansion.
"King, lord, give ......"
Zhao Yi motioned for him to get up, and said in a deep voice: "Lead the way to the house." ”
"Ahh The messenger opened the door, and Zhao Yi walked in front with Song Ning's baggage.
The messenger motioned for his colleague to go back to Zhang Zhifeng.
Of course, the Yangxin County Ya is not as big as the Jinan Mansion, and the house is also very small, and a fishy smell comes to the face when the door is opened.
The officers went in and lit the lamps on all sides.
I saw a corpse on the table on the ground, covered with a black cloth.
Song Ning said to the officer, "Go get two more lamps." ”
The messenger did not dare to look at the morgue, so he took six lamps in one breath and placed them along the wall.
Song Ning changed his clothes and uncovered the black cloth.
I saw a man on the morgue, his clothes had been cut, his hair was wrinkled, his face was swollen, and he had a fishy smell.
"Have you found the body?"
The messenger replied cautiously: "Found, found, the deceased is the second master of the Cai family, a well-known family in Yangxin, named Cai Zize, who is five years old Chinese New Year's Eve today. ”
"I've inquired today, Second Master Cai went out four days ago...... According to yesterday, it should have been three days ago, on the evening of the ninth day of the third month, I went out to party with friends. ”
"I never came home after that. Until yesterday morning, an old man was fishing by the lake and saw Hu Li's floating body. ”
"The old man came to report to the official, and we will use the boat to salvage the body."
Song Ning bowed his head and asked, "Do you know where the autopsy is located?" ”
The messenger nodded: "Yes, the villain knows." ”
As he spoke, he went to the shelf on the side and took a notebook and handed it to Song Ning, glanced at Wu Xian again, and replied: "Mr. Wu said that he would invite Lord Song to come for an autopsy, and we, Lord Zhang and Ma Xingren, would not dare to deal with it casually." ”
"I thought the adults were coming tomorrow, but I didn't think I would come today."
Song Ning looked at the autopsy.
He wrote very carefully, and made his own interpretation of the judgment that it was accidental drowning, which is roughly the same as Wuxian's statement.
Song Ning put the autopsy on his face and put on his gloves.
Zhang Zhifeng appeared at the door at a trott, panting: "Wang, Wangye, please say hello to Wangye." ”
Zhao Yi motioned for him to get up: "If you come in the middle of the night, don't make a fuss." ”
Zhang Zhifeng should be, and saluted Song Ning, the death of Song Tuiguan's sister who was in Xixia Mountain at that time always made him feel guilty.
That little girl is able to speak and is smart.
It's a pity.
"I'll do the autopsy." Song Ning said to Zhang Zhifeng, "I'm really sorry for disturbing Lord Zhang in the middle of the night." ”
Zhang Zhifeng knew that Wuxian had invited Song Ning, which was not surprising.
"No, no." Zhang Zhifeng said, "Lord Song, please." ”
Song Ning bowed his head.
Zhang Zhifeng didn't dare to leave, standing on the side and watching Song Ning's autopsy.
Because the deceased had an identity and age, Song Ning did not report more, and directly checked it from the beginning: "There is no injury on the head, there is a circular wound on the forehead, and the epidermis is off on the surface." ”
"There were no injuries to the neck, arms, torso, or legs."
Song Ning replied to his face: "There are traces of foam on the mouth and nose. ”
"There is subconjunctival hyperemia."
"There is corruption and swelling of the facial features."
"There is algae in the mouth and nose, and shallow mud."
Song Ning lightly pressed his abdomen, because there was putrefaction gas in the corpse, so it was difficult to judge.
"There are reddish corpse spots on the back."
She drew out the contents of her fingernails and placed them on a white cloth to discern them: "There is moss in the gaps between the nails of the index and middle fingers, the toes are clean, and the nails are intact." ”
She got up and said to Wu Xian: "The deceased soaked in the water for about three days. ”
Zhao Yi said: "That means that after he went out that night, he fell into the water and died?" ”
"I don't rule out the possibility of that."
Song Ning looked at the deceased's hanging hair and asked Zhang Zhifeng, "When the deceased's hair was salvaged, was it loose?" ”
"Yes, huh?" Zhang Zhifeng was not the first to arrive at the scene, so he looked at the messenger, who nodded and said, "Yes, the hair is scattered." ”
Song Ning lifted the deceased's long hair, frowned, and said, "This trace is a little deep. ”
Everyone came to watch, and the messenger came with two lanterns to light them.
It can be seen very clearly that there are clear puncture marks in the middle of the deceased's hair, and a few strands of hair have been broken off in this position.
"Ordinary people tie their hair in a bun, not in this position." Song Ning said.
Everyone looks at each other's position to tie their hair, and men take advantage of the root of their hair to tie their hair, and most people will not stop the position to tie it.
"W-Does this mean anything?" Zhang Zhifeng saw it, but he didn't know what it meant.
Song Ning shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Then, that adult, Second Master Cai is, was he accidentally drowned, right?"
------Off topic------
My Weibo @潇湘Mo Merry, friends who have bought books go to forward it (those who have bought books), and set up a 12:12 lottery on the 12th. The prizes are YSL's lipstick, MAC's lipstick, and a pillow made of character cartoons drawn by the young lady when the lawyer was serialized, which is old and beautiful.
I guess there are not a few forwards, and I estimate the winning rate to be 90%, so I'm going to be idle.
The first time I got a Weibo lottery, it was too rusty, and I will know it later.
Why this lottery? It is to increase sales and promote physical books online.
The book was released in December last year, when I was recuperating after surgery, and I had no energy to do it, so I have been putting it off until now.
Procrastination is me.
It's not the ending version, it's all nonsense and typos that have been deleted, and it's worth buying. (Sell without sparing)
Thank you.
