Acute illness refers to a condition that is triggered suddenly. However, those who have a sudden emergency illness may have an old illness or suffer from a hidden illness but do not know it.

Although the woman in front of her claimed that her husband had died of a sudden illness, her description of the situation at the time of illness, the patient's physical reactions, and the patient's facial expressions at the time of the illness were vague. If Xing Ruyi asks in detail, the woman will cry vigorously as she did with Chang Tai before, and refuse to answer no matter what you ask.

"How?" Chang Tai walked over and looked at the woman who was still crying, with some impatience in his eyes, "Still don't want to say?" ”

"That man is indeed dead" Xing Ruyi glanced at the woman, and saw that the woman was secretly looking at her with the corner of her eye, so she deliberately raised her voice a little, and said: "She kept saying that her husband died of a sudden emergency, but she couldn't say any details, this is her body is a surviving person, and she usually tries her best to cooperate with the government, so that the government can find out the truth as soon as possible, and give her husband and herself a clean slate, but the eldest sister in front of her is the opposite, not only extremely uncooperative, but also evasive, as if she doesn't want us to track it down, this is the second and third, When I asked her about her relationship with her husband in the past, although she was very affectionate, there was a clear sense of disgust in her eyes. When I asked her, what would happen to her husband if he had been murdered? She first insisted that it was impossible, and then said that she would never let the murderer go. When he spoke, his eyes dodged and he didn't look me directly. From all this, although it cannot be concluded that the death of this man is related to his wife, it can at least be concluded that this man did not die of illness, and the eldest sister in front of him, that is, the wife of the deceased, is definitely an insider."

When the woman heard this, she was visibly shocked, and then said, "Murder pays for life, and the girl must not talk nonsense." My husband did die of illness. If you mislead the people in the yamen because of the girl's words, you will really kill the slaves! ”

"Is it nonsense, just look at your husband's body and understand." Xing Ruyi said, turning to Chang Tai: "

Brother Chang, where is the deceased now? ”

Chang Tai also glanced at the woman and said, "Follow me."

"Master Chang, my husband has already been buried in the ground, and if you go to disturb him at this time, you must not do it!" The woman spoke in a hurry

"You're wrong, it's not us who really upset your husband, it's the murderer who killed him. Eldest sister, you have forgotten that it was your husband who crawled out of the grave by himself, and stayed at the door of your house. Xing Ruyi looked at the woman: "There are only two reasons why your husband stays at the door of his house. First, you are his wife, and he has a grudge and comes back to you for help. The second is that the real murderer of him is in this door. I don't know which one do you think it is, eldest sister? ”

The woman's face turned pale, "Be ...... Come back, of course...... Come back and ask me for help."

"Really? It seems that the eldest sister has disappointed your husband" Xing Ruyi shook her head: "Not only did you not assist the government to find out the murderer of your husband, but you are also deliberately covering up the truth." ”

"I ...... I don't" The woman turned her face away: "The girl has a kind intention to help my husband find out the truth, and I am also grateful in my heart, but it is still the sentence just now, it is a matter of human life, girl, you can't talk nonsense." ”

"I just said it, whether you talk nonsense casually, just ask your husband in person. If the eldest sister also wants to know the truth, she might as well go in with us. ”

The woman hesitated for a while, her eyes seemed to search the crowd, and then she murmured, "It's okay"

The man's body was temporarily parked in a corner of the firewood room. Judging from the woman's description, her husband has been dead for at least ten days, but the extent of his appearance is not serious.

The man had multiple traumatic injuries, some of which were old and some of which were recent, but all of them were abrasions. There were no signs of arguments or fights with people on his face and body, his heart was a little swollen, and there was mud between his fingernails.

He checked and said that the mud in the gap between his fingernails was his own, and judging from the color of the soil and the weeds and dead leaves in it, it should be next to the cemetery. Therefore, he also had a bold inference that was not reported to Lord Xie, saying that this person crawled out of the grave by himself. ”

When Xing Ruyi heard this, he didn't answer Chang Tai's words, but turned around and asked the woman: "I take the liberty of asking you, is your husband buried thick or thin?" ”

"This ......" the woman rubbed her hands uneasily, "My father-in-law has always been diligent and thrifty, and he has already made an agreement with the slave family, if he goes, he can simply cook the aftermath, and there is no need to be extravagant and wasteful."

"So how simple is your simple dish? Won't you sweep yourself away with a thin sheet, and let your husband settle down like that? ”

"Of course not" The woman turned white in a hurry: "Although my family is an ordinary family, the future affairs of the husband will not be so hasty." Neighbors can testify that the aftermath of my father-in-law is all in accordance with the normal process, and there is absolutely no omission, where people can point fingers, as for the coffin"

When the woman said this, she paused obviously, and her expression was a little unnatural: "Although the coffin of my father-in-law is not the best, it is not bad in terms of wood, workmanship, or anything else. Because the coffin ...... The coffin was carried out of the Gu family's coffin shop. But girl, don't get me wrong. We didn't steal, but Gu Lao Shopkeeper promised it to my father-in-law when he was alive. He once worked as an apprentice in the Gu family's coffin shop, and was one of the most trusted friends of the old shopkeeper Gu during his lifetime.

After the old shopkeeper Gu left, Miss Gu disappeared, and if the coffin shop was not taken care of by my father-in-law, I am afraid that it would have been gone long ago. Therefore, it is reasonable for us to carry away a coffin, which is nothing. ”

"I don't think there's anything about it." Xing Ruyi responded, "Old Shopkeeper Gu built those coffins for the dead originally, if they were put aside, it would be a waste to let them be eaten by those rats, insects, snakes and ants." So, at this point, I don't think you're at fault either. ”

After Xing Ruyi finished saying this, he turned to Chang Tai: "I have seen the coffins in the Gu family's coffin shop, whether it is the materials or the workmanship, they are all excellent among the people." Such a coffin, let alone a person who has come back from the dead, even if it is a martial artist with more strength, it is not easy to open it by himself in the coffin. Moreover, on top of this coffin, there is also a thick layer of loess. ”

"I hadn't thought about it before." Chang Tai was a little embarrassed: "Then what if someone is out to help?" ”

"If there is external help, it is naturally possible. Therefore, I also want to ask Brother Chang to take a look around the neighborhood in person later, check it, and see if there are any traces to be found? ”

Chang Tai nodded, and then asked Ruyi with a little puzzlement: "In this case, what else do we have to come to the firewood room to check?" I mean, if he dies and comes back to life, then ......"

"What Brother Chang means is that if the husband comes back from the dead, then he can naturally rule out the suspicion of his wife, is that what he means?"

Chang Tai didn't say anything, but the expression on his face responded to everything.

"Whether or not he came back from the dead does need to be ascertained, but this is something that your yamen needs to investigate clearly. From Ruyi's point of view, no matter what this person has experienced, he is just a dead man at the moment, and the only thing Ruyi wants to figure out, and can help the government figure out, is the cause of his death. ”

"Ruyi is right, no matter what he has been through, he is dead. For the yamen, although the investigation process is important, it is more important to find out how he died and how he died. ”

Xing Ruyi nodded, did not speak, but stood directly in front of the deceased.

The first thing Xing Ruyi did was to scan his body with ghost eyes. Through observation, it can be concluded that there are two hidden scars on the man's body. The first is on his chest, which is where his heart is.

His heart was visibly enlarged, apparently formed by an external blow. Heart hemorrhage will indeed lead to what seems to be an "emergency", so it remains to be verified whether his wife's words are true or false.

The other, hidden deeper and more strangely located, was in his nasal cavity.

"How? What do you see? Listening to the punishment Ruyi, he talked lightly, and Chang Tai also asked in a low voice on the side.

"Are you still there?"

"With Master Xie's orders, he didn't dare to leave, and he kept waiting outside."

"Calling him in, I noticed that there was something strange about the deceased's nose, and there was some foreign body in his nasal cavity, and I needed to take out that foreign body."

When the woman heard Xing Ruyi's words, she squatted on the ground with a "poof".

Xing Ruyi glanced at her and said to Chang Tai: "It seems that this wife is not innocent." Brother Chang asked someone to take her back to the yamen, and when I got the things in the deceased's nose, I would let her take her back. What is the truth, I believe that Master Xie will be able to understand it in the first instance Also, the people around this woman also need to let Xiao Shengzi investigate. I believe that the suspect, the murderer, and the man who helped him escape from the grave were among them.

If you don't have a clue, you might as well listen to what your neighbors have to say in private. Perhaps, both the truth and the real culprit have been found."

Chang Tai nodded, and then assigned the task: "Just do what Miss Ruyi just said, you are divided into two ways, one way to secretly investigate the people who have a relationship with this woman, and the other way to find out who this person came into contact with in the days before he died, and who he had disputes or quarrels with."

Also, go to the cemetery and don't let go of any clues, if there is any situation, come back and tell me immediately, if I am not there, I will return directly to the lord. ”

As he spoke, he had already come in. Xing Ruyi instructed on the side, and the deceased's nose was dissected by himself. When his nose was fully opened, he was completely stunned when the thing came into his sight.

"It's ...... A nail"

"Yes, it's a nail, and it's a nail in the deceased's house." Xing Ruyi said, wrapped the nail with a silk handkerchief, held it up, and compared it with a nail being nailed on the wall: "This is a coffin nail, ordinary people will not use it, because they feel unlucky." But the deceased is different, he used to be a young man in the coffin shop, and he may also have a special affection for such nails. So, you see, almost all of the nails used in the deceased's house are like this. And the nail was driven into his nose with an external force. ”

After Xing Ruyi finished speaking, he put the nail in front of Chang Tai.
