Chapter Twenty-Three: The Yamen Cracks the Case

As soon as the east was white, the sound of the rooster announcing the dawn came, and the first rays of morning light shone into the house.

"Aunt Bao, Master Bao, Lu Putou is invited!" A voice that sounded a little anxious came into the ears of Qiu Mingyang, who was practicing martial arts in the backyard.

"Is it an autopsy again? Early in the morning disturbs the peace! I only heard Bao Zheng's mother reply impatiently. Although she was a little impatient, the movement of packing things in her hands was significantly faster, which showed that she was still planning to go.

Hearing the word "autopsy", Qiu Mingyang also stopped the next action in his hand and prepared to follow to have a look.

Qiu Mingyang hurriedly ran out of the backyard and pleaded with Bao Zheng's mother: "Auntie, I also want to go and see it, why don't you take me with you!" ”

"Ah Yang, are you also interested in this kind of thing?" Bao Zheng's mother wondered.

"This is natural, aunt, I have also studied Chinese medicine for two years, but the time is too short, aunt, you have superb medical skills, give medicine to doctors, and are good at autopsy, the whole Luzhou, no one knows, no one knows! So, of course, I hope to learn more about medicine from my aunt! Qiu Mingyang patted Bao Zheng's mother's ass and said.

"Okay, Ayang, you'll be poor, you slap me like this, if I don't let you go together, it will seem like I'm stingy! In that case, then okay, you can go with me, it used to be my stinky boy who went with me, but now that it's just dawn, that stinky boy usually likes to sleep lazy, and now he's still sleeping, just you go with me, if this black charcoal head has Ayang, you are half diligent! Bao Zheng's mother mentioned Bao Zheng and said helplessly.

"Auntie, that's not necessarily true, Brother Bao is extremely smart, but he snoozes for a while, and it's not a big deal!" Qiu Mingyang saw Bao Zheng's mother's appearance and persuaded him.

Under the leadership of the yacha who came to deliver the message, the two soon came to the county office.

"Ah Yang, this is the head of the county government!" Bao Zheng's mother stretched out her hand to a person wearing a yacha uniform and introduced it to Qiu Mingyang.

"Lu Zhutou, hello!" Qiu Mingyang bowed his hand and said politely to Lu Zhutou.

"Lu Zhutou, this is my son Bao Zheng's best friend, now living in my house, called Qiu Mingyang, this time I came to follow my knowledge!" Bao Zheng's mother took Qiu Mingyang's arm and introduced it to Lu Zhutou.

"It turned out to be Brother Qiu, and I was polite!" Lu Zhutou looked at Qiu Mingyang, arched his hand to Qiu Mingyang, and said politely.

"Mrs. Bao, I'm really sorry to call you early in the morning to disturb your Qing Xiu, but it's just that human life is at stake, so it's ......" Lu Zhutou explained embarrassedly.

"I know, don't worry, I won't mind, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed over so quickly as soon as I heard you send someone to pass the word, without further ado, let's hurry up and conduct an autopsy first!" Bao Zheng's mother interrupted Lu Zhutou's explanation with a wave of her hand, and said directly, it is obvious that this kind of thing is not once or twice, Bao Zheng's mother seems to have been accustomed to it for a long time!

"Yes, yes, autopsy!" Lu Zhutou patted his head, came to his senses, and said with a little nervous short-circuit.

"Mrs. Bao, this is the deceased, come and see!" Lu Zhutou pointed to the corpse on the ground and said.

Bao Zheng's mother lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, carefully examined the deceased from head to toe, and before she could speak, Qiu Mingyang stepped forward to interrupt and said to Mrs. Bao: "Auntie, I also want to study, I wonder if you can let me see it too?" ”

"Alright then!" Bao Zheng's mother turned her head to look at Qiu Mingyang and said with relief.

With the consent of Bao Zheng's mother, Qiu Mingyang immediately stepped forward and first looked at the neck of the deceased, in addition to obvious strangulation marks, there were also pinch marks that could be seen. The deceased's entire body, including the deceased's head, was carefully examined, and there were no injuries left by sharp weapons or other attacks. When he saw the corner of the deceased's mouth, he was stunned, there was an obvious residue at the corner of the deceased's mouth, so he took the white cloth in Bao Zheng's mother's hand, dipped it in the residue, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and found that it was the smell of bezoar gastrosan, bezoar gastrosan, which is mainly used to treat kidney stroke and lumbar spine pain. He thought about it carefully, and now he can basically conclude that the deceased was suffocated by the neck, and it will never be a suicide, and the murderer wants to cover up the fact that the deceased was strangled to death, but unfortunately, this murderer doesn't know how to disguise at all, and a slightly smarter estimate can see it, and he can hide it from a nervous person like Lu Zhutou!

Bao Zheng's mother saw that Qiu Mingyang had finished the examination, and asked, "Ah Yang, how do you think the deceased died?" ”

"Back to my aunt's words, after my examination, I think the deceased was murdered, and the deceased was choked by the neck and suffocated to death!" Qiu Mingyang replied respectfully.

"Isn't it suicide?" Lu Zhutou looked at Qiu Mingyang and said in astonishment.

"Of course it's not suicide, the deceased was murdered, Lu Zhutou, you take a look at the neck of the deceased, there are obvious pinch marks under the strangulation marks, and there are two horns, and the deceased also took the medicine of bezoar Tianmasan, a medicine for kidney stroke, if you really want to commit suicide, how can you do it more?" Qiu Mingyang explained to Lu Zhutou.

"Then since he killed him, in the opinion of the Lu brothers, who will be the murderer?" Lu Zhutou wondered.

"Of course he's the murderer!" Qiu Mingyang pointed his finger at the deceased's husband and said loudly.

Hearing this, the husband of the deceased trembled his legs obviously, and trembled: "I didn't kill her!" I went to the countryside with my subordinates last night to collect rent, and when I heard the news of my wife's death, I rushed back! ”

"You're lying, you went to the countryside to collect rent and just rushed back, but I see that you are spotless, obviously staying at home all the time, and then I see that you have a jade wrench in your hand, which matches the two pinched marks on the neck of the deceased!" Qiu Mingyang walked up to the man, raised his arm violently, exposed the jade wrench finger on his hand, and said to the man with disdain.

Lu Zhutou listened to Qiu Mingyang's explanation, looked at the ring on the man's hand again, and then ordered: "It turns out that you are the murderer, arrest him quickly!" ”

"This time I was able to solve the case so quickly, thanks to Brother Qiu!" Lu Zhutou said gratefully to Qiu Mingyang.

"I don't dare to be, I can only say that this person's modus operandi is very clumsy, and this is why I saw the flaw, in fact, my aunt saw it early on, but I did it for me." Qiu Mingyang explained.

"Ah Yang, it seems that you have a lot of talent in this area!" Bao Zheng's mother looked at Qiu Mingyang and said with relief.

"Anyway, thank you so much this time, there were your mother and son in the past to help us solve the case, and from now on, I think there will be one more Qiu brother!" Lu Zhutou looked at the two of them and said happily.
