At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened, and before I know it, I have tossed a day.

However, things were urgent, and there were less than ten days left in the time itself, so neither Xing Qianqiu nor Duan Ming wanted to rest.

So Xing Qianqiu went to arrange the investigation of the recent ship, and Duan Ming came directly to the morgue under the leadership of Liu Zhi.

The morgue was originally a remote wing house that belonged to a small separate courtyard.

The courtyard had been abandoned for a long time, overgrown with weeds, peeling tiles, and mottled walls.

When the Spiegel Division made this a station, this small courtyard became a special place to park corpses.

Not only Su Meng's corpse, but even the corpses of the other two talented people are also placed here at this moment.

As soon as he entered the room, Duan Ming's brows were furrowed.

There was a lack of effective measures to keep corpses, and although there were a lot of ice cubes in the room, it was still inevitable that the corpses would rot.

So the smell in the room is really bad.

However, these were already within Duan Ming's consideration, he took out a handkerchief from his arms and put it on his face, using it as a simple mask.

Although it can't completely resist the stench, it still has some effect.

As for Liu Zhi and the rest of the Spiegel officials who were following Duan Ming, they were used to this taste, and their faces did not change much.

Knowing that Liu Zhi was coming, the servant of the Spiegel Division hurriedly rushed over and said to Liu Zhi with a smile: "Liu Tongzhi, why are you here?" ”

"Accompany Mr. Duan to take a look." Liu Zhi nodded at the Servant, and then introduced to Duan Ming: "This is Sun Servo, who has high skills and the ability to make the dead speak. ”

Sun Qizuo glanced at Duan Ming, with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have admired the daimyo for a long time." Duan Ming nodded at Sun Yanzuo.

When Duan Ming helped the government solve the case before, he heard that he usually had a habit of shaking hands with people, that is, he didn't like to shake hands with people very much, so he didn't take the liberty of it.

"I don't know if Mr. Duan is here, what do you think?" Sun Cheng asked Duan Ming suspiciously.

"Just look. May I ask which one is Su Meng's body? Duan Ming asked.

"Here." Sun Yanzuo didn't say anything, and directly took Duan Ming to a corpse: "I have inspected it during the day, and there are no obvious injuries on my body, and there is no reaction to poisoning. ”

"Oh." Duan Ming took out the glove strap from his arms, then uncovered the white cloth covering the corpse and looked at the corpse carefully.

There was no swelling or cyanosis on his handsome face, and he reached out to remove Su Meng's eyelids, and there was no blood under the corners of his eyes.

Then Duan Ming opened Su Meng's mouth and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly purple, and his tongue was curled into a ball.

His brows furrowed slightly, and the state of Su Meng's corpse dispelled Duan Ming's previous speculation.

At first, Duan Ming thought that Su Meng was suffocated to death due to the sublimation of dry ice, which caused the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air to be too high.

However, Su Meng's corpse was in a very different state from that of a person who had suffocated to death.

So, how exactly did Sumon die?

Duan Ming carefully examined Su Meng's body, just as Sun Qizuo said, Su Meng's body did not show any scars.

Duan Ming picked up Su Meng's hands and carefully examined the nails of Su Meng's hands, there were no scars in the nails, but calluses could be seen on the fingertips and joints.

"Su Meng knows martial arts?" Duan Ming said suspiciously.

"The 'Four Great Talents of Linzhou' are all both civil and military, and it is said that this Su Meng's martial arts are the best, and they are even much better than many of our Spiegel Division's martial arts." Liu Zhi said.

"That's right." Duan Ming nodded and turned Su Meng's corpse over, and patches of corpse spots could already be seen on his back.

Sun Yanzuo looked at Duan Ming's performance, nodded silently, and his attitude eased a lot, it seems that this Duan Ming does have some ability.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Duan Ming let out a suspicious sigh and gently stroked the back of Su Meng's neck.

"What's wrong?" Sun Yanzuo stepped forward and asked.

"There's something here." Duan Ming brought the oil lamp and observed it carefully.

Sun Yanzuo was beside Duan Ming and also observed carefully.

Soon, the two of them found a small wooden thorn on the back of Su Meng's neck, which was black and almost identical to hair.

Duan Ming asked Sun Yanzuo to find a tool, carefully pulled out the wooden thorn, and then the two of them observed it carefully.

"I guess he accidentally pierced it when he fell from the boat." Liu Zhi said suspiciously.

"How is that possible!" Sun Cheng glanced at Liu Zhi, and then said in a deep voice: "There must be something wrong with this wooden thorn." ”

"That's right, usually when a person falls, it's either forward or backward." Duan Ming explained to Liu Zhi: "But if it falls backwards, then there is a high probability that it will fall into the cabin and not fall into the water." ”

"Therefore, when Su Meng died, he should have 'pounced' forward into the water, and in this position, it is absolutely impossible for the back of his neck to hit the boat."

"Is it possible that I accidentally crashed into the boat before?" Liu Zhi thought for a moment and asked again.

"You have a wooden thorn in your neck, can you bear not to pull it out?" Sun Yanzuo waved his hand at Liu Zhi a little impatiently: "Okay, Brother Liu, hurry up and go to you, there are two of us here." ”

Duan Ming looked at Sun Chengzuo, and couldn't help but smile dumbly in his heart, it was really a level of work, he looked cautious just now, but as soon as he worked, he didn't recognize it.

"Brother Liu, you go and inform the criminal commander of this discovery first, we still need to check it again." Duan Ming said to Liu Zhi.

"Okay." Liu Zhi was not angry, they were not uncommon to see Sun Cheng's ability to change his face, and they had long been used to it.

After Liu Zhi left, Sun Qizuo asked the Spiegel outside to bring a few oil lamps and investigate them with Duan Ming.

More than an hour later, Xing Qianqiu and Liu Zhi walked over quickly, looked at Duan Ming and Sun Yanzuo who were sitting on the ground and discussed, and asked, "How is the situation?" ”

"It's confirmed." Duan Ming stood up and said to Xing Qianqiu, "The wooden thorn that pierced the back of Su Meng's neck was coated with neurotoxin, and Su Meng died because of it. ”

"Su Meng did not have obvious injuries on his body, indicating that he did not fight before he died. However, Su Meng's martial arts are very high, and if he is attacked, it is impossible to be killed in seconds without resistance. ”

"So, the person who killed Su Meng must be the person who stood behind Su Meng at that time, a person that Su Meng subconsciously believed."

"Therefore, the boatman who holds the boat is the most suspicious."

"Boatman?" Xing Qianqiu frowned, he really hadn't suspected this person before.

"Liu Zhi." Xing Qianqiu did not hesitate, and said directly: "Immediately bring someone to catch the boatman!" ”

However, as soon as Xing Qianqiu's words fell, he saw a Spiegel officer walking over quickly, and said to Xing Qianqiu: "Commander, something has happened to the Ship Division!" ”

"What's the matter?" Xing Qianqiu raised his eyebrows.

"The boatman we interrogated in the morning is dead!"
