Chapter Thirty-Eight: Darkness Under the Light

In other words, because of his identity, this Zhang Gongzi was not within the scope of the teaching department at all, and in order to see Wang Huiran, he used the excuse of giving clothes to hide in the box to meet his lover.

There are too many times, and it is inevitable that people will be suspicious, so there are months between each delivery of clothes.

Although this idea is exaggerated, it is also in line with Shen Qingyu's guess of the Tibetans, and it is very likely that this Zhang and Wang will use this to communicate.

This also provides evidence that a third person will appear at the scene of the crime.

Wen Zicheng continued: "It shouldn't be difficult to figure out if there is such a thing. ”

"Hmm." Shen Qingyu consciously did a good job, "I have already asked people to investigate whether the two are in contact with each other, and I believe there will be news soon." ”

Because Zhang Qizong and Wang Huiran both came from Shengjing, and the time of coming was also close, she had already guessed that these two were old acquaintances, and now she just needs to wait until Zhang Jing confirms this guess.

Wen Zicheng already had a plan in his heart, he wanted to see the corpse with his own eyes and confirm that the cause of death was undoubted.

Although he felt that the little girl would definitely not be willing to touch the corpse, he still asked Shen Qingyu's opinion, "I am going to go to the county office now, go to the mortuary to check, do you want to go with my cousin?" ”

"Yes!"

Shen Qingyu immediately expressed his position, afraid of being left behind.

Wen Zicheng's appearance is probably more like Zhong's, and his eyebrows and eyes are crooked when he laughs, "That's the case, it's just right for my cousin to dress like this." ”

Shen Qingyu lowered her head, only to find that she had been wearing men's clothes, and the Wen family didn't deliberately say it, so that she almost forgot about it.

It's a lot easier.

The two took people to inquire about the location of the county government on the street, and then rushed to their destination.

When I arrived at the county office, I was told that the place where the mortuary was buried was not in the yamen at all. Wen Zicheng asked the money to find the morgue, and the group continued to hurry, so it took some more time.

The mortuary of the yamen was located in an extremely remote place, and Shen Qingyu walked straight to the place where his legs were not his own.

Most of the houses here are extremely dilapidated, but there is also a wall that has been repainted, and the color is very white and conspicuous, which does not fit in with the surroundings.

The guard of this place was an old man with a white beard, and his ears were not very good, so it took a lot of effort to communicate and let them in.

When he was about to enter the door, Shen Qingyu was a little scared, this corpse had been stopped for a few days, and the smell was secondary, so he was afraid that something would crawl on it.

Wen Zicheng saw that her face was a little bad, so he coaxed: "I'll go in first, if there is no suspicion, you don't have to follow along, lest the two of them be smoked." ”

He saw Shen Qingyu nodding before turning around and walking in.

It's just that Shen Qingyu didn't wait long before Wen Zicheng's face was ugly.

Shen Qingyu hurriedly asked, "What?" The smell is too bad? ”

Wen Zicheng shook his head, "It has been burned to charcoal, saying that it was caused by walking water two days ago, although it was discovered early and the fire was quickly extinguished, but Wang Huiran's body was burned." ”

Bodies burned?

Shen Qingyu suddenly remembered her thoughts before, at that time, she felt that this was impossible.

But now it's different, the identity of the corpse has been confirmed to be Wang Huiran, and if it is burned again, it really confirms Wang Huiran's death.

Wen Zicheng's mind turned quickly, and after going through the matter, he said: "If the corpse is intact, I won't suspect anything, but this corpse is destroyed, there must be something that can't be found." I only came to see the corpse by chance, so I must not have set it on fire to prevent me from getting close to it. ”

Shen Qingyu's reaction was half a beat slower, "Who is that to prevent?" ”

Wen Zicheng said: "It's not against anyone. It's because the identity of the body is questionable. ”

He clenched his right hand into a fist against his chin, said "um", and thought quietly for a while before slowly saying his guess: "We can sort it out from the beginning, everyone knows who the deceased is, and it is based on the premise that there are two people in the room who have confirmed their identities." ”

His tone was brisk, changing from the way he spoke slowly, "Suppose A and B are in the same room, and A leaves, then everyone thinks that B is left behind, and this is the same reason. At that time, the girl at the door screamed, not seeing the face of the deceased clearly, but blood. ”

Shen Qingyu twisted her eyebrows, "Shouldn't the first reaction be to see if the bleeding person is still angry?" Just look at it and you know who the deceased is. ”

"So the deceased is naked, covered in blood, and there must be something on her face. The situation was very chaotic at that time, and those who dared to probe the woman's breathing may not dare to look at the corpse, or maybe they did not find a problem after looking, in short, the woman's death was confirmed. Next, the body was taken away by the people of the Yamen, and naturally no one went to see who was taken away. ”

"That's why I came to burn the body again afterwards."

Shen Qingyu thought carefully about Wen Zicheng's words and found that what he said was indeed very likely to be the truth.

"So the person who died was not Wang Huiran?"

Wen Zicheng said: "I didn't think of other possibilities. ”

Isn't this what is often said to be "dark under the lamp"?

Shen Qingyu felt that Wen Zicheng was really talented in reasoning, and praised: "My cousin is so powerful!" ”

Wen Zicheng said: "It's just a guess, maybe what I said is not right." ”

Although this solved a problem, they faced a new problem.

After the body was destroyed, how could they prove that the charred corpse was not Wang Hui but someone else?

It was already dark, and Shen Qingyu and his party returned to the inn.

Zhong had been waiting for a while, and his face was a little anxious, "Why is it so late?" ”

Wen Zicheng smiled: "My cousin rarely goes out, so I accompany her for a long time." ”

Zhong Shi smiled, "Qingyu is tired, go back and rest, I'll have someone bring you the food in a while." ”

Shen Qingyu walked a lot today, thanked Zhong, and dragged his tired body back to the room.

Zhong and Wen Zicheng entered the house together and asked someone to bring food up.

She smiled and served Wen Zicheng with vegetables, "Where did you go shopping with Qingyu today?" Are you still happy? ”

Wen Zicheng raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, "I know what my mother is thinking, but that's impossible, so the child advises you to die of this heart as soon as possible!" ”

"Oh?" While serving vegetables for his son, Zhong asked, "What do you think I'm thinking?" ”

"Mother!" Wen Zicheng was a little annoyed, "I'm fifteen years old, and Cousin Qingyu is only eight years old. ”

Seeing that his son did understand what she meant, Zhong admitted: "I do have some selfish intentions, and it's not all for you." It's okay for a man to get married later, the key is her father, who is now the head of the Ministry of Industry at this age, and it is not impossible to go further in the future. You have such a reliable father-in-law, and your future career will not be smooth sailing. ”

Wen Zicheng is a young man with his own arrogance, and when he heard his mother say this, he was very disgusted, and retorted: "Is it glorious to rely on nepotism?" ”

"Although your mother and I are deep house women, I also know that above this officialdom, if there is no backer, it will be difficult to move an inch, and people who have spent half their lives as a sesame official can be seen everywhere, just say that your grandfather, if there is a reliable relationship, how can there be such a day?"

Wen Zicheng was not convinced, and said, "Didn't my uncle rely on himself to get where he is today?" It can be seen that as long as you have the ability, you can always get out of the way. ”

Zhong gently slapped his son, "Why are you so stupid!" Shen Zhongwen really didn't rely on his in-laws, but his backers ......"

She was about to continue, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.
