Chapter 41: Fire Suspicions

Ji Xia smiled and said, "Young Master Yuan seems to have died of an emergency, but in fact, the root cause is that he was hit by a carriage a month ago, resulting in multiple fractures complicated by pulmonary vascular embolism. ”

Gao Han nodded as if he didn't understand. In short, Ji Xia completed her work, and the truth of the case was revealed, and Lord Yang would handle the rest.

"By the way, what did you find at the scene of He Ning's house?"

"According to the on-site investigation, there are no traces of man-made damage to the doors and windows of the house, and I also checked with He Ning to confirm that there is no property lost at home. The possibility of arson for the sake of wealth and death can be ruled out. Gao Leng analyzed quietly.

If the murderer wants to make money, he can choose a big family, why take the risk of cutting off his head, choose a broken family, and go to great lengths to destroy the corpse.

"I'm already busy here, why don't you go and comfort He Ning?" Ji Xia saw that Xue Dabao was still in place, looking thoughtful, like a big stupid goose, and couldn't help but remind: "She should need you very much now." ”

Ji Xia was really a little weak when she said the last sentence, she saw He Ning and Qian Zhixuan intimate at the gate of the fire...... When she is vulnerable, will you hope that the person who accompanies her is Xue Dabao?

Xue Dabao hung his head and said, "He Ning told me not to worry about her, and let me find out the cause of her father's death as soon as possible." ”

"By the way, Master, you haven't taught me yet, what about the third test method?" Xue Dabao suddenly raised his head and asked, his eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

Ji Xia smiled dumbly, pouted at Young Master Yuan's corpse, and said, "Didn't I already teach you just now?" ”

Xue Dabao opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "Huh? This third test is the solution...... Dissect? ”

Ji Xia nodded and said, "The best way to judge whether a person was burned to death by fire or burned after death is to dissect. ”

She paused, pointed to He Ning's father's throat, and continued: "After the autopsy, we can observe the trachea of the deceased, if there is charcoal residue, it is burned to death, otherwise, it is burned to death after death. ”

"Then Master, let's start quickly!" Xue Dabao rubbed his hands, looking eager to try.

Ji Xia frowned and said, "Regarding this autopsy, I think you should first ask your family for approval, right?" ”

Xue Dabao stomped his feet in annoyance and said, "Oops, how did I forget this stubble!" I'm going to find He Ning! Fortunately, the master reminded her that if He Ning knew that she had disemboweled her father without her consent, she would definitely ignore herself again.

It didn't take long for Xue Dabao to come back in a hurry and say, "Master, He Ning agreed, let's start!" ”

"Oh?" Xue Dabao was able to obtain He Ning's consent so quickly, she didn't expect it, in this ancient era when "the dead are great", He Ning was willing to believe in the "nonsense" of autopsy, and handed over his father's body to his own disposal. That's a big heart!

"He Ning was strongly opposed at first, but with my incorruptible tongue, I finally persuaded her." Xue Dabao patted his chest with pride.

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, held up the scalpel, and said, "Master, I'm ready!" ”

Under the guidance of Ji Xia, Xue Dabao successfully completed the first dissection in his life.

"Master, look, He Ning's father was really burned after his death!" Xue Dabao pointed to the deceased's trachea and said, "There is no charcoal here!" ”

"Moreover, he died of poisoning." Ji Xia said as he looked at the deceased's blackened stomach.

At this moment, Aji hurriedly ran in and said to Gao Han: "Head, someone just came to report the case, saying that he had seen Rong Hening appear at the scene of the fire tonight. ”

"What should I be? He Ning appeared in his own home, what was strange! Xue Dabao pouted and said.

"Strangely, not long after she left, a fire broke out." Aggie added.

"What are you talking about, according to what he meant, it's the fire that He Ning set off?" Xue Dabao said angrily.

Aggie nodded.

"Where is the informant, I'm going to ask him why he framed He Ning!" Xue Dabao rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to rush out to fight.

Ji Xia hurriedly pulled him down, "Don't worry, let Big Brother Gao go and ask first before talking!" Come, let's put He Ning's father's body first. "Although the inspection has been completed, there is still some finishing work that has not been completed. Restoring the body to its original state is a sign of respect for the deceased.

Gao Han nodded slightly towards Ji Xia and went out with Aji.

"This matter must have nothing to do with He Ning!" After Gao Han and Aji left, Xue Dabao was still muttering endlessly.

"You just believe in her like that?"

Xue Dabao's face turned red suddenly, twisted, and said, "Because at that time, I stayed with her." ”

"Didn't she leave halfway?"

"Of course not! Master, are you also suspicious of He Ning? Xue Dabao jumped to his feet excitedly and said.

"Just ask." Ji Xia said lightly. How could this Xue Dabao be so fascinated by Rong Hening, as long as he found the slightest sign of unfavorable to her, he would immediately jump out to defend her.

"By the way, I remember you said that you met Master Qian when she was investigating the case?"

Xue Dabao smiled and said, "Actually, it's not all. I think I'm quite close to her. ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Ji Xia pricked up his gossip's little ears.

"Half a month ago, I went to Baoshan to play, and I was knocked down by her as soon as I reached the foot of the mountain."

"But what does this have to do with Master Qian's case?"

"Because as soon as I helped her up, I saw someone fall down the mountain from the Wangjing Pavilion, and I found out that this person was Master Qian."

Xue Dabao described the encounter with He Ning in a few sentences, which made Ji Xia confused, and couldn't help asking: "You mean, you and He Ning saw Master Qian fall down the mountain with your own eyes?" ”

"She was right next to me at the time, and I'm not sure if she saw it." Xue Dabao felt a little strange, wasn't he talking about his encounter with He Ning, why was the master entangled in the death of Master Qian?

"Master, did you think of something? The death of Master Qian was seen with my own eyes, and there was no one else in the pavilion at that time, which was indeed an accident. ”

"It's nothing, I'm just curious."

Although Ji Xia responded like this, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, and some vague sixth sense kept tugging at her heart.

"I have checked, and the testimony is not credible." Gao Han's voice broke the silence in the room at this time.

"I'll just say, it must be framed!"

Ji Xia looked at Gao Han quietly, wanting to wait for him to finish speaking.

"The informant set up a stall opposite Rong's house, and he said that he saw the back of a woman, so he guessed that it was Rong Hening."

Ji Xia nodded, and said, "A back alone is really not enough to prove it. ”

It's just that there are no clues in this case at the moment, and there is no motive for the crime.

"I remember, he seems to be very short of money, will he ......"

Before Ji Xia finished speaking, Xue Dabao grabbed the conversation, "Master, hasn't the robbery and killing been overturned by Big Brother Gao." Besides, if you want to rob, you have to have something to rob. ”

"I mean, will he be retaliated against for not paying back the money." Ji Xia glanced at Xue Dabao with disgust, and that look seemed to say: You think I'm as stupid as you. Xue Dabao knew that he was a little wrong, and pursed his lips.

Gao Han thought for a moment and said, "This is unlikely, but it is also a direction." ”

Ji Xia and Gao Han came to Rong's house and asked about the nearby neighbors. Xue Dabao excused himself to go to Rong Hening to ask for information, and ran away as soon as he slipped away.

Only then did Ji Xia know that the deceased's name was Rong Gui, and the neighbors usually called him "Uncle Gui", who was lazy and lazy, and only occasionally did odd jobs to make a little money.

"Just the little money from your uncle's part-time job is not enough for him to buy wine and drink!" Uncle Zhao, who lives opposite Rong's house, said: "Fortunately, he has a capable daughter who works as a maid in the Qian Mansion, and all the money he earns is spent by Uncle Gui." ”

"There's not a lot of money to be a maid, how can you let your uncle squander it so much? I heard that the Qian family saw that this girl looked so smart that they liked her very much, and they intended to admit her to the door! Aunt Zhao on the side put down the work in her hand and came over.

Her voice was very low, as if she was saying something secret, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear her.

"Go, go, women, I like to chew the root of my tongue behind my back!" Uncle Zhao looked a little displeased, and gently bumped Aunt Zhao with his elbow, signaling her to shut up.

"Phew, you men can't walk when they see beautiful women, it's all a virtue, she dares to do it, why don't you dare to let me say it?" Aunt Zhao scolded and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Ji Xia.

"Aunt Zhao, are you talking about taking a concubine Master Qian or Young Master Qian?"

"Of course it's the old one! When I'm older, I still want to eat tender grass. Aunt Zhao pursed her lips in disgust and continued: "It's really not me talking nonsense, I also saw Master Qian come to the Rong family with a gift before." It's just that when Master Qian died, the matter was over. ”

"Is Master Qian dead?" Uncle Zhao asked puzzled.

"Haven't you heard of this? He fell from the lookout pavilion and fell to his death. ”

"Oh, then why did I hear Uncle Gui say a few days ago that he was about to get rich? I thought it was his daughter going to climb the branches......"

"Wait, you say, Uncle Gui told you that he is about to get rich?" Gao Han questioned.

"But no, he's so angry, and his eyes are about to grow to the door of his head!" As soon as Uncle Zhao talked about this, he looked disdainful, pursed his lips, and said disdainfully: "Tsk, there is a saying, one person has ascended to heaven. ”

Ji Xia secretly thought: If Master Qian was Uncle Gui's "ATM" before, then after Master Qian's death, he should be poor, but he said that he was about to get rich. What's going on here?

Somehow, a name suddenly "popped up" in Ji Xia's mind. Could it be related to him......

Ji Xia was at a loss, couldn't help sighing, and turned his head to see that there seemed to be a thick fog in front of Gao Han's eyes.
