Chapter 32: A Breakthrough in the Case?
The two of them were covered in mud and rushed back to the yamen, and the yamen was also very busy at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Ouch!"
A servant accidentally bumped into Chen Jinbao.
"Excuse me."
Chen Jinbao asked, "Why are you so panicked?" ”
The official said: "Pai tou, you don't know, the people from Dali Temple are here, and they ask us to sort out all the information of the previous case and wait for them to come back." ”
Chen Jinbao thought for a while and said, "The last case? The case of the haunted house? ”
The official replied, "Yes, it is said that the purpose of their visit is for the ghost house case. ”
Chen Jinbao touched his chin and thought about it, then raised his hand and asked the official to go by himself.
"Master, is there anything left unresolved in the last case?" Wang Fugui asked.
Chen Jinbao continued: "I guess the origin of the deceased's money has not been figured out, and the records on the main side's side are antiquities of unknown origin. ”
Wang Fugui nodded, and then said: "In this way, the reason why they came is for those antiquities, and according to them, some antiquities have been dug up in this case. ”
Chen Jinbao clasped his hands in his arms and continued: "Fugui, you bring me the ancient money and portraits you brought from Yang Ming's house." Then, you go and ask if there's any new development over there. ”
"Yes!"
Wang Fugui took out the ancient money and portrait from his arms, and then turned around and left. And Chen Jinbao went to the county to ask which dynasty and generation this ancient money came from.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the county house, he found that the door was open, Chen Jinbao walked to the door and knocked on the door a few times.
"Boom.... Boom..... Boom...."
As soon as I finished knocking, there was a response inside: "Who, didn't you say don't come to disturb?" ”
Chen Jinbao walked in directly, and saw that the county was sitting on the desk writing something, and there was a furoshiki next to it, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and there was a stack of silver tickets if you took a closer look.
Chen Jinbao said to the county officer: "My lord, the lower official came to you to ask about something." ”
The county was still busy writing, glanced at Chen Jinbao, and then asked: "What's the matter, don't you see that the official is busy?" ”
Chen Jinbao took out the ancient money, walked to the county Cheng's desk and put it down and returned it, and then said: "Lord Lao, help the lower officials to see which dynasty and which generation this copper coin comes from." ”
The county man glanced at it impatiently, and at this moment, the expression on his face changed, and he picked up the copper coin and looked east and west.
Seeing that the county didn't speak for a long time, Chen Jinbao asked, "My lord?" Any questions? “
The county man put down the copper coin, and then asked Chen Jinbao: "Where did you get this money from?" ”
Chen Jinbao replied: "Lord Hui, this is taken from the deceased's home in this case. ”
The county man stretched out his hand and waved, signaling Chen Jinbao to come over. Chen Jinbao walked to the desk and looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry on the table, as well as a stack of silver tickets. I thought to myself, this should be what the gang of people in Dali Temple dug up.
The county man took the copper coin and said to Chen Jinbao: "You see, these copper coins and this pile of antiquities are from the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Chen Jinbao looked surprised, and then asked: "My lord, are these piles of antiquities dug up by the gang of Dali Temple?" ”
The county nodded and said, "Exactly, not only these antiquities, but also these ten thousand taels of silver tickets." ”
Chen Jinbao picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, there were as many as 10,000 taels. And this pile of antiquities and the ancient money of Yang Ming's family are from the same era, is this just a coincidence?
"My lord, where did those people from Dali Temple dig up this pile of things?" Chen Jinbao asked.
The county man thought for a while and said, "They didn't say it, they just asked the official to find out the origin of these things, and then record them for them." ”
When Chen Jinbao heard this, he touched his chin with his hand and thought about it. After a while, he took a few copper coins and put them on his chest, and said to the county minister, "Thank you, sir." Then he left the county man's house.
After coming out, Chen Jinbao immediately went to the morgue in the yamen, and now there is one more suspicion in this case, and he has to confirm it himself.
The morgue is not big, extremely dark and damp, there are rows and rows of simple beds on display here, because of the efforts of Zheng Qing, the "god catcher", the corpses here have changed from more to less, from less to nothing, and now there are only two corpses in the entire morgue Yang Ming's wife and Sun's shopkeeper's mother. ”
"Header."
When he saw Chen Jinbao coming, he immediately put down the work in his hand and gave Chen Jinbao a look. Wang Fugui walked up to Chen Jinbao and asked, "Master, why are you here?" ”
Chen Jinbao asked the two and said, "Where is the note found on the corpse now?" ”
He replied, "Oh, that one was taken away by the adults of Dali Temple. ”
Chen Jinbao didn't speak again, walked directly to the corpse, picked up the clothes that the corpse had placed next to the corpse, and looked at them one by one.
Seeing this, he walked up to Chen Jinbao and said, "The head of the card, these small things have been searched, and no clues have been left." ”
Wang Fugui then asked, "Master, what are you looking for?" ”
Chen Jinbao put down his clothes and asked, "Is there anything else on the deceased besides that note?" ”
He shook his head and said, "No, there's nothing on me." ”
Chen Jinbao then asked: "Do you know what is written on that note?" ”
He sighed and said, "Hey, those adults of Dali Temple were staring at the little autopsy next to them, and the little one just took out the note from the deceased's shoes before opening it, and they took it away." ”
Chen Jinbao scratched the back of his head, and then asked, "Is there anything else in the deceased's shoes?" ”
He thought for a moment and said, "No, nothing, only a note in the right shoe." And the note must have been in the shoe for a long time, and the deceased had been wearing the shoe, and the note was squeezed by the toes in the shoe and stuck very strongly, and the small one was pinched out with tweezers. ”
Chen Jinbao listened to the words, picked up the deceased's shoes, looked inside the shoes, and turned them over to look at the soles.
There is nothing on the soles of the shoes, and it should be said that there is nothing according to the current assumptions.
", have you figured out the specific time of death of the deceased?" Chen Jinbao asked.
He said: "If you go back to the card, the little one can't find out the specific time of death of the deceased after all means, and can only judge from the stiffness of the corpse that the deceased should have died the day before." ”
Chen Jinbao nodded and said, "Okay, I'm sorry for you." ”
Then Chen Jinbao said to Wang Fugui: "Fugui, you go and check the coffin of the old mother of the shopkeeper Sun, and see if you can find something." ”
"Yes!"
Wang Fugui responded, turned around and left. After Chen Jinbao thanked him, he walked out of the morgue, found a table, moved a chair, and found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began his hypothesis of the case, according to his current thinking, Wang Fugui should not be able to find any clues, and the purpose of Dali Temple should have been judged, and the case has finally made a breakthrough now.
