Chapter 4: The Murder Weapon Dagger

At night, Jian Qing and his younger brother slept on the kang outside.

The kang was not burning strongly, the sister and brother were afraid of the cold, and the two of them were crowded very tightly, and they both pricked up their ears to listen to what their parents were saying?

Mother Cui Shi gave Jian Qing the impression that she was a woman as soft as water, but at this time, her voice was a little excited, but unfortunately, her voice was vague, and Jian Qing couldn't hear what they were talking about, but guessed that it should be related to the person who came today.

In this house, there seems to be a secret. Jian Qing thought about it and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, it was a sunny day.

Jian Qing drank a bowl of bud grain porridge that was almost visible at the bottom of the bowl, ate a bud grain wild vegetable cake that could easily scratch his throat, and after chatting with a good stomach, he wrapped himself in a torn sheepskin jacket and went out.

The dignified forensic doctor actually ended up like this. Jian Qing remembered that before she died, her best friend called her and complained, "I'm a master's student, guess what I'm doing?" I'm helping the department get work clothes, and I'm doing a lot of miscellaneous work. ”

Retribution! At that time, she was still laughing at her best friend, but now, she is a doctor from the University of Political Science and Law, can she be even worse?

In this Lingqiu County, a small servant can get a salary of three taels of silver a year and support a family of four, how can a poor person be poor!

Just in time for Zhou Shen, the son of the widow's family, to go out. Back then, his mother gave him the name "ginseng", I don't know if I hope he can drink ginseng soup every day in the future? Wishes are always so good, but it's a pity that Zhou Shen is now only a big teapot in the Yulou, in the words of the southerners, called "Turtle Gong".

Once you do this job in Qinglou, future generations will not be able to raise their heads. The average person also disdains to deal with them.

Jane Qing is different, first, she herself is also a lowly person, second, socialist education is good, she has understood 360 lines since she was a child, and the truth that there is no distinction between high and low in labor.

When he went out, Jian Qing approached him affectionately, "Brother Zhou, why did you go out so early today?" ”

Qinglou, isn't it just a day and night, the same job as an owl?

At the beginning, Zhou Shen was not very impressed by Jian Qing, the newly appointed "old brother", and often entered and exited at one gate, Jian Qing seemed to have done something wrong, always lowered his head, and did not care much about people. Zhou Shen works in that kind of place, and he will always be more angry than he takes, and he suffers and hates every day, and he is not in the mood to take care of people.

Suddenly, one day, Zhou Shen was upgraded to Jian Qing's brother, as long as he had the opportunity to meet, Jian Qing could pull Zhou Shen to talk for a long time, from the weather in Lingqiu, to the crops in the field, from the stray dog in the county office, to the new person who came to the Yulou yesterday.

Zhou Shen is sometimes very curious, why does Jian Qing talk so much? However, it was still very fun to talk to Jian Qing.

"I came back early yesterday, saying that today, there are distinguished guests coming from the building, and we are asked to come over early and do a big cleaning."

"This is not a year, what is the cleaning? Didn't say where the guest came from? ”

Jian Qing looks like an extra gossip, but what secrets can there be in the Qinglou? Zhou Shen didn't take it to heart.

"I didn't say anything, I just listened to the bustard that the guests have chartered our entire building, if there is any displeasure, whoever makes a mess will take someone's life." Zhou Shen was a little nervous, it seemed that the bustard was not scaring people.

"Tsk, one person, so many girls, can you get it?"

Jian Qing shrugged, and the two walked to the Langyu Building in a few steps, Zhou Shen wanted to go in to work, and Jian Qing continued to walk forward.

When she passed through the jade building, she was extra vigilant, after all, if the wine jug came again yesterday and smashed her, where would the crossing car take her?

Others have crossed over, have a golden finger, or wear to an era that knows history well. It's a pity, she wore to an overhead Ming Dynasty, and the royal family surname is Zhao Bu surnamed Zhu.

At the gate of the county ya, I met Shi Zhong, a county man in his fifties, a native of Lingqiu. The family lives on the right back street, with two into three large brick houses, and there are kang in each house, and the family background is much more solid than Jiang Zhonglin, who was the county magistrate.

"Uncle Shi, it's early!"

Shi Zhong glanced at Jian Qing with a pair of inverted triangular eyes, he stroked his beloved goatee, didn't pay much attention to Jian Qing, carried the front hem of the green cloth robe, and went up the steps of the county office.

Jian Qing disagreed, as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person when you reach out, don't spend money when you shout. Although this old man doesn't care about himself, some time ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the county government rewarded her, didn't she also get three months cakes?

She hadn't had her father's old antique before, but this time, I heard that this old man helped her get it.

Lingqiu County Ya, there are three gates, the lobby is five wide, there are flowers and birds painted on the wooden components, and the column is embedded with a pair of wood: "deceive people such as deceiving the sky, do not deceive yourself, bear the people that is the country, how to bear it", the lobby is in the middle of the hanging "Lingqiu County Main Hall" plaque.

Under the plaque is the warm pavilion of the county order trial, set up a sea water facing the screen, and hang the golden plaque of "Mirror Hanging" on it. The three-foot Dharma table is placed on the wooden platform in the warm pavilion, and the four treasures of the study room and the order arrow barrel are placed on the table, and a high-backed Taishi chair is placed behind the table, with the arrow frame on the left and the black folding fan on the right.

In front of the warm pavilion, there is a piece of bluestone on the left and right, which is the location of the plaintiff and the defendant.

There are meeting halls on both sides of the lobby, and there are two bungalows at the back, which are soap rooms.

Jian Qing entered the soap room, and the third class of errands had already arrived, standing and chatting, talking nothing more than the murder that happened in the Xinglai Inn the night before.

"At first glance, it's suicide, does this still need to be investigated? Even those Jiangyang thieves with good skills can't turn into flies and fly in and kill people, that house, once the doors and windows are closed, how dense it is! ”

"If it is really Jiangyang's thief who killed someone, I heard that the person was from outside the city. How good it is to kill outside, why bother to come to our bad luck? ”

The case was not settled for a day, and the fast shift officer had to run outside every day, inquiring and looking for evidence.

"Did anyone get the murder weapon back yesterday?" Jian Qing asked.

"Get it back, No, put it there!" Niu Er pouted at the only table in the soap room, and asked puzzledly, "Jian Qing, what do you want to see that thing for?" ”

This is a very small dagger, the total length of the dagger is about 30cm, the blade length is about 20cm, the blade is about 10cm wide, there is a bloodletting groove with a depth of about 1mm on the back of the blade, the handle is round, it is rosewood, carved oblique spinning pattern, the back end of the handle is perforated, and the head of the handle is claw-shaped.

The murder weapon was just put away casually, Jian Qing suddenly agreed with Zhao Di's words, Jiang Zhonglin may really be a fool.

Li Shi, the head of the fast shift who was in charge of the arrest, rushed in, "The people from the fast shift will follow me and re-investigate the scene, by the way, Jian Qing, you will follow." ”

"No, am I not pretending? Why do you have to go out on the field? But after all, Jian Qing still trotted all the way to keep up.

It was Shi Zhong who led the team to the scene, with a straight face all the way, like who owed him three liters of Chen Damai.
