The inquest was extremely fast, and there was no need for much effort, let alone an autopsy. There was no sign of poisoning in the deceased, and there was no sign of the murderer in the vicinity, and the only thing left was the wire that strangled her and hung high.

"Since there are no man-made injuries, can it be concluded that it was an accident?" Xiao Mingzhu saw that Xu Chu took off his gloves and no longer looked at the corpse, so he stepped forward and asked.

Xu Chu shook her head, she always felt that this matter was not simple. Not to mention that Xie Niang died in the dance she was best at, it is extremely problematic to say that this paper man who appeared under the deceased's gauze out of thin air.

After thinking about it, she got up again and commanded several subordinates and guards to work together to remove the beams and wood from which the gauze tent was hung.

This beam is just ordinary wood polished into a square, and then connected to each other to form a square shape, but there is nothing special about it. Xu Chu took a white handkerchief, pinched the lower end of the wire and wiped it upward, until it was fully wiped, and there was no blood on the wire.

"Strange." Puzzled, she folded the place where there was no blood on the wire and wrote down the traces, and then compared it again, it was still one zhang and two feet long.

"Sister Chu, is there something wrong?" Xiao Mingzhu looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see any clues, but he felt that the third uncle and Sister Chu were silent against a wire, which was very inexplicable.

Although she didn't figure it out, it didn't prevent her from squatting down, reaching out to take the wire and touching and pressing, after a while, she couldn't hold it back, and then she asked suspiciously: "This wire is nothing special." ”

Xu Chu shook his head and cast his eyes on Xiao Qinglang, who was silent beside him.

"The beams of the frame are one zhang high, except for the length of Xie Niang wrapped around her waist and tied with a waist seal without being stained with blood, and the iron wire is stained with blood. It just doesn't make sense. Xiao Qinglang said in a loud voice, "If you want to fly into the sky, you need to pull up the wire by the handyman outside." Therefore, the wire in the gauze tent will only get shorter and shorter, and if the neck is strangled at the moment of jumping over the beam, the wire at the neck will never be so long. ”

Xu Chu frowned, and subconsciously looked at the top of the beam that was built as a pillar, but saw that the four beams were the same size and thickness.

She stepped forward and shone the candlestick on the wood, and reached out to fumble for the pits, which were full of signs of stuck wire.

It seems that apart from this, the beams are no different.

"Is this beam of value whatsoever? These potholes should be strangled by wire during the weekday performance. Xiao Mingzhu saw that Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang were thinking seriously, so she simply turned her head and looked at Hua Wuxi.

"But if there is no mechanism on the beam, how can the murderer let the wire that is not long enough to strangle Xie Niang to death? And it happens to be strangled by the neck, and one blow is fatal! Xu Chu said, and looked at the wire and the neck of the deceased again.

The wound was conspicuous and fresh, with no signs of vandalism. So, no matter how much she looked at it, even if she gently pushed the flesh apart with tweezers and a post-mortem knife to see the blood-stained bones inside, she found no valuable clues.

"Was it really an accident?" Xu Chu muttered to herself, and after thinking about it, she simply took the paper and went out of the yarn tent with Xiao Qinglang.

Xiao Mingzhu and Hua Wuxian only felt a little dazed, how could the two of them look so dignified? Did they find something they didn't know about?

When a few people got out of the gauze tent, they saw Song Derong still standing in place, not thinking about anything.

Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang glanced at each other, stepped forward slowly and said, "My lord, there is nothing abnormal on the deceased, and there are no other clues except for this strange paper piercing man in the gauze tent. ”

Song Derong came back to his senses, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and his eyes did not fall on the paper tied up by Xu Chu, but his eyes flashed and asked: "Master Zhou, Miss Chu thinks, is this matter a ghost asking for her life?" If there really are ghosts who have died of death, can they really return to the yang world for revenge? ”

"The sage has a lesson: the son is silent, and the power is chaotic. The so-called gentleman should be righteous in his heart, and he should stay away from ghosts and gods. If you don't worship ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods will naturally not take advantage of them, but if you believe in ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods will control their people. "Xiao Qinglang is still as clear as the moon, and he doesn't seem to care about Song Derong's gaffes." However, whether it is really a ghost doing evil, or someone is suspicious, he and the people around him are willing to share their worries for adults. ”

If he puts this on others, I am afraid that it will also look flattering. Partial birth, his face is handsome, his words are flattering, but he is not stammering, coupled with the noble temperament exuded in his bones, it made Song Derong look at it a few more times.

"Oh? I heard that you once offered a red coral to Boss Jin, that thing is priceless, so you will not lack gold and silver, what do you want for me? "When Song Derong photographed disease-free horses before, people looked like people who didn't have many brains. But now, it seems that he is not as simple as they think.

However, the situation in Jinzhou City is complicated, and it is also the place where the Holy Ancestor is rising, and it is extremely rich. In such a place, if the person behind the scenes plots, it is definitely impossible to send a person with a bad brain to act as a general judge second only to the prefect and the same knowledge.

Xiao Qinglang tucked his sleeves and said calmly: "Qishan Bookstore has long been famous in the capital, even if I take over, I can't let it go further. Therefore, Zhou wanted to take advantage of the momentum of adults to seek a way out in Jinzhou City. Speaking of this, there was a bit of light in his eyes, "If it goes well, Zhou wants to use the reputation of literati students in Jinzhou City and Beijing to develop the bookstore into an existence second only to Lushan College." ”

Song Derong looked at him for a long time when he heard this, and only then did he laugh when he saw the ambition under his indifferent face. He patted Xiao Qinglang's shoulder and said loudly: "In that case, the matter of Xie Niang's death in the villa will be handed over to you." I will tell you later, and if you need to, you can say anything. ”

He is not worried that Xiao Qinglang is ambitious, but he is afraid that this person who suddenly appears really does not eat the fireworks of the world, and is not moved by money and power. If that's the case, he won't be relieved to use it. Now it seems that he is afraid that he is too careful, but no matter how he says, it is too early to make a conclusion, and he will wait until he goes down the mountain to send someone to check the details of this person before making plans.

Thinking of this, Song Derong was no longer entangled, but looked at Xu Chu and asked, "What does Miss Chu have to say about Xie Niang's death?" ”

"My lord, the autopsy list is here. But I still think there's something wrong with it. Xu Chu motioned to Xiao Mingzhu behind him to hand over the autopsy sheet, glanced at Xiao Qinglang, and then gritted his teeth for a moment and continued, "Although the deceased died tragically, there was no ghostly atmosphere. And if this paper piercing the person, if it was not placed by the deceased himself, then someone must have wanted to use the ghost to make trouble. ”

In other words, it is highly likely that the incident was a long-planned homicide.

Because the villa has just been killed, and it is a bloody death in front of everyone's eyes. Coupled with the weird and terrifying paper man, as well as Boss Jin's remarks that he was not possessed, it made people speculate and uneasy. Almost instantly, the atmosphere of trepidation replaced the festivity and liveliness of the previous birthday banquet.

Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang took Song Derong's orders, and not only got the drawings of the distribution of the villa's guest rooms. I also asked the people who were still staying in the villa today, especially those who came to the villa early last night. From the guests, to the craftsmen and tricksters in the lower room, they were all asked, but fortunately, most of them came with their families or teams. According to the team, I followed the family who came as a group to investigate, but I didn't waste too much time.

Since yesterday's arrival, there have been companions, so almost everyone can prove that they did not leave without permission.

In fact, it is very simple to check the people who are in the room, but the guests who stay take a little time. But it's not too difficult, after all, there are not many people who were invited by Jin Manshan and could stay overnight. In addition to Song Derong, Tang Rucai, Boss Zhang and the four families of Boss Yu, there are only their group left.

If others just think that Xu Chu and the others' inquiries are redundant, or they are frightened and always question Xu Chu again and again, then when they ask Tang Rucai, they are really cold-faced and cold-eyed.

However, although he did not cooperate, and even sneered at him several times, in the end, there were family members who testified with their subordinates that they had not left the table at that time.

"Pretending to be a ghost, vain your reputation, this official wants to quietly catch what ghosts you can catch." Tang Rucai sneered and shook his face and said, "But don't be a thief and call for a thief." ”

After he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and entered the inner room, leaving only Mrs. Tang and her subordinates to say a few more words to Xu Chu and his party, and then respectfully sent people out of the door.

After leaving the house where Tang Rucai lived, Xu Chucai sighed softly: "This Tang Rucai Tang Lord is jealous and hateful, but he has such a temperament but he doesn't know ......why."

She didn't finish her words, but it was self-evident, she was just puzzled about how a person with a temperament like him could be used to be called a fake state judge? It stands to reason that once a person is impersonated, his own identity and traces will be erased. And people with personality are the most taboo like this.

Xiao Qinglang saw her suspicious face, and couldn't help but chuckle: "People are not sages, there will always be shortcomings or another side." ”

What's more, the people behind the scenes have planned so far, and their wisdom is by no means comparable to ordinary people. Such a person, putting aside the sin of rebellion, must also be a very courageous person. Or, he has a good brain.

Xu Chu saw his gloomy expression, and then thought of the people he had seen with their own thoughts when he asked along the way, and couldn't help but nod with affection.

And Jinzhou City Siyan is famous, and he has always been on the same road when he goes out to perform. Therefore, after briefly asking others and finding no suspicions, Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang naturally focused on the remaining three sisters who were frightened but did not have an accident.

After all, these three people have lived with Xie Niang for the longest time and have the closest relationship. What's more, Xie Niang, who was in the same room last night, went out at night and should have seen someone.
