"Do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you? I'm on patrol under the emperor's orders, and with my identity and the aura of Qincha, what can I do if I kill you? ”

Zengshou looked at Mai Xianling coldly, his aura was powerful, and his hand pressed the sword on his waist, as if he was ready to draw the sword at any time.

"You really want to kill me?" The righteousness that Mai Xianling said just now was awe-inspiring, and when he saw the coldness in the other party's eyes at this moment, he couldn't help but shudder, and took a step back.

"What can I do if I kill you?"

Longevity followed and took a step forward.

Mai County was shocked: "My lord...... I...... Guo Niangzi did hang herself, I don't believe you look at the corpse that was filled. ”

"What is the reason for your conclusion that you hanged yourself?"

Luo Fan saw that Zengshou was aggressive, worried that he would really get angry and draw his sword to hurt people, it had only been two days out of the capital, and he couldn't understand this person anymore, so he stepped forward and asked Mai Zhixian.

Mai Zhixian is like seeing a savior,

"Your Excellency."

A guard came in from outside and said, "Guo Niangzi's coffin has been protected, no one is allowed to approach, and there are ......"

He leaned close to Zengshou and whispered a few words in his ear, and Zengshou nodded: "I know, you did a good job, observe carefully, and wait until Jiangnan will appreciate it together." ”

The guard left after making a gesture, Luo Fan wanted to know what the guard said, but saw Zeng Shou take out a plain white silk handkerchief from the placket, and wiped his face and ears a few times, his skin was originally extremely white, so he rubbed it so hard, from the ears to the cheeks, a large piece of pink appeared, like a ripe peach. Luo Fan said in his heart that this person is really, people have to wipe a few words when they are close to him, and they don't look like a man.

Seeing his gaze, Zeng Shou didn't feel embarrassed, tilted his head, covered his face with a handkerchief, and seemed to say to himself: "What should I do, I can only open the coffin for autopsy." ”

Mai Xianling has been frightened by him since yesterday.

"What, open the coffin for the autopsy, why do you want to open the coffin for the autopsy, sir, look at this corpse, it is very clearly written here, our Xianghe County has been doing it for 30 years, it is very reliable, and there will be no mistakes."

As he spoke, he took out a notebook from the desk and handed it to Zengshou to read. Zengshou jumped back in fright: "Take it away, take it, I don't look at this thing." ”

"This ......" Mai Xianling was stunned on the spot again, his hand stopped in mid-air and he didn't know what to do.

He is also an elegant man full of poetry and books, and when he encounters this gentleman, he feels unintentional and powerless, and Lord Qincha never plays cards according to reason.

A hand reached out from the side and took the prefectural commander's hand.

The county commander breathed a sigh of relief and cast a moving gaze at Luo Fan. Luo Fan didn't see Mai County's gratitude at all, and took the corpse and twisted his eyebrows slightly.

"The corpse is written very clearly, Guo Niangzi is not poisoned, there are no traces of struggle, there are two strangulation marks on the neck, the direction is upward, which is in line with the characteristics of self-hanging."

He shook the paper a few times and said to Zengshou.

The latter pouted: "Didn't you say that those witnesses testified strangely, and you want me to help you find out, why do you ...... Hey. ”

"Mai County Order, looking at Guo Niangzi's corpse from the corpse, there is no trace of being forced, if a big living person is hanged, he will definitely struggle and scuffle, unless he is stunned by drugs, but the corpse has no traces of poisoning, what about sweat medicine, have you checked it."

"It has been checked, and there is no trace of drug use, so the lower officials believe that Guo Niangzi is indeed hanged herself and has nothing to do with the Guo family."

However, the testimony of the two elders of the Guo family and Guo Si is very strange and completely consistent. It happened suddenly, how could the three people have the same idea so much? ”

Luo Fan asked again.

Mai Xianling was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Because there will always be differences in the testimony of witnesses in the past, the adults will believe that the consistency of these three people is false. After speaking, he glanced at Luo Fan cautiously.

Luo Fan was not angry: "What you said also has some truth, judging from the corpse, it is no problem, maybe I am too worried." ”

"Haha, haha." Zengshou suddenly let out a few strange laughs.

Luo Fan frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

"It's ridiculous to laugh at you." Zeng Shou pointed to the paper in his hand and asked, "Because there are no traces of poison and sweat medicine, and there are no traces of scars and struggles, you will think that you are hanging yourself, especially you, who swore last night that there was a problem with the testimony, and now when you see the corpse, you will immediately turn against you, you count...... What? Luo Fan was a little embarrassed: "That'...... You also have to pay attention to evidence. ”

"Evidence?" Zengshou sneered, "Okay, if you want evidence, I'll talk about the evidence." There are no traces of poisoning, no traces of sweat, no scars, you think you died by hanging, right? ”

"Yes." Luo Fan nodded.

"Yes, my lord, that's what the lower officials think. Regarding the problem that the witnesses mentioned by the adults are too consistent, the lower officials think that the Guo family's parents are old after all, and Guo Si has studied books, and after the incident, he was worried about being sued, so Guo Si handled it, and there is also a unified caliber, although this is not done by a gentleman, but it is also a helpless move to protect the family. ”

Mai County Ling explained.

"I'm weird. You are a local parent official, and you don't know the Guo family, how can you understand the mentality of the Guo family. It wasn't until I thought of your entanglement with that beautiful woman that I understood that the Guo family's fears must be the same as you were back then, and you empathized with it again, Mai Zhixian. ”

Zeng Shou sneered: "One is from the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, and the other is a local parent official, let me ask you, how many strangulation marks are there on the corpse grid." ”

"Two ways, it's the two ways that are right, people have to struggle before they die." Luo Fan replied.

"Two very clear strangulation marks, right?"

Zeng Shou stared at Luo Fan, in fact, he was looking behind Luo Fan, there, the white shadow was showing him how people died.

I saw that the back suddenly lifted his feet off the ground, his hands went straight down, and then repeated the original action, as if he had been lifted up and hung directly above twice. Finally, the shadow suddenly reached out and took out a slender rope from his sleeve, threw it up and hung it on the beam, and then pulled it hard, as if to test whether the rope sleeve was strong enough, and then the probe went in, waving his hands in the air, scratching, kicking his legs wildly, the person struggled on the rope sleeve non-stop, and both hands tried to grasp the rope sleeve, but in the end it was to no avail, and soon, the shadow's struggle slowed down.

"If it's self-hanging, are you sure there are only two strangulation marks on the neck? You must know that as long as you are a person, no matter how firm your heart is to die, as long as you get into the rope sleeve, where can you control it, how there are only two clear marks on the neck, struggling, your hands and feet are waving wildly, and your hands will grab the rope sleeve. Zengshou said as he pinched his neck with both hands, poked his tongue out hard, and continued. It's like this, struggling hard, there should be a lot of blood stasis on the neck, and the two strangulation marks can only be hung up twice, just to get two strangulation marks, and deceive you fools. ”

The county magistrate's eyes widened again: "My lord, how can you know?" ”

What Zengshou said was really vivid, just like watching a person who hanged himself face to face, and the county commander was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up.

"Moreover, the woman who is said to have been raised by Guo Niangzi in the inner room and never let people see it, what is the name of Hong, and now she is dressed in red, ready to be a bride happily. What do you think? ”

After Zengshou finished speaking, he kicked Luo Fan's knee, Luo Fan jumped away with a bang, and glared angrily: "What are you going to do?" ”

Zengshou spread his hands and said aggrievedly: "It's just a test, people's actions can't deceive people, you also know that your martial arts are not as good as yours, but when I kick over, I immediately avoid it, and it is a natural reaction for people to avoid being attacked, so people are strangled by the neck, whether it is active or passive, they have to work hard to struggle, this is also a natural reaction, why is Guo Niangzi not struggling?" ”
