Chen Chaoyan looked at the confession again.

The Zhou family has a total of nine people.

Zhou Zhongcai and his wife plus two children and four children, two mothers-in-law, two maidservants and a handyman who did rough work.

Mrs. Zhou's confession was that after the dismissal yesterday, Zhou Zhongcai returned home as usual and played with the two children for almost two teas, and then the family got together for dinner. After dinner, when the children were playing in the yard, Zhou Zhongcai told her that when the children were older, they should change to a bigger house and let them sleep in one room. He also said that he would change to a bigger house at this time next year.

At two o'clock, Zhou Zhong said that there was something wrong and asked her to take the child to sleep first. After that, he went to the study. When she woke up in the morning and saw that he had not returned to his bedroom all night, she got up and went to the study to look for him, and then found that he had died tragically.

In addition, Mrs. Zhou did not admit that Zhou Zhongcai had gone to the cabinet to apply for a loan deed.

One of the two mothers-in-law cooks in the stove room all year round, and the other helps Mrs. Zhou to take care of the children.

The mother-in-law who cooked said that she fell asleep before the end of the day.

The mother-in-law who helped lead the child said that she slept with Mrs. Zhou and the child.

The handymen slept in the stables, and also went to bed early, and did not hear any movement during the night.

One of the two maidservants, after Zhou Zhongcai entered the study, once sent a drink. After that, he went back to his room and went to sleep. The other goes to bed first, and the two can testify to each other. They didn't hear anything in the middle of the night.

Whether it is the symptoms of the corpse, the evidence, or the confession, in Chen Chaoyan's view, it is enough to prove that Zhou Zhongcai died of suicide. If you want to 'overturn' the case, you have to prove that the corpse spasm is artificial.

But since she became a forensic doctor, she has encountered a total of one corpse spasm.

And the corpse spasm, after all kinds of overt and covert visits, was determined to be a suicide.

Twisting his eyebrows, Chen Chaoyan looked at the case file again.

"Is there something suspicious?" Feng Shoudao couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Chaoyan didn't speak, and after reading the case file, she raised her head and said: "Judging from the records of the case file, Zhou Zhongcai did commit suicide. ”

Feng Shoudao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Chen Chaoyan say again: "There shouldn't be a corpse yet, right?" ”

Feng Shoudao's heart instantly rose to his throat, "This, since Zhou Zhong died by suicide, there shouldn't be any need to dissect the body, right?" ”

"Judging from the results of the case, there is no need to dissect the corpse again, but since Mrs. Zhou believes that Zhou Zhongcai cannot commit suicide, then ......" Chen Chaoyan thought about it for a while, and said, "Then please trouble the Lord to send someone to ask Mrs. Zhou, and if you don't agree to the autopsy, if you agree, then trouble Lord Zhou to arrange for someone to inform him and ask him to wait for me to dissect the body together." ”

Feng Shoudao nodded and arranged for someone to do it.

At this time, the maidservants also came in early.

Chen Chaoyan only picked a few sweets and ate them.

After Xie Xuan finished eating, everyone went out together and went to Zhou's house.

Mrs. Zhou learned that Chen Chaoyan had taken over the case and went back earlier. It stands to reason that the people in front of the government should also disperse, but there are more people than before.

The carriage left the yamen, and when she heard the sound of the officials in front of her shouting 'all disperse and disperse', Tsukimi lifted the corner of the curtain of the carriage and looked out, and saw the dense crowd, she asked in surprise: "Why are there so many people?" ”

Yesterday, Bai Shao followed to Dongzhao and Village to see the excitement, and today at her strong request, Bai Shao was left to take care of Chen Qiyang, and she followed Chen Chaoyan to Zhou's house.

Ling You, who was riding a horse to protect the side of the carriage, straightened his back and said ostentatiously: "Yesterday, the news that Miss Chen solved the case in Dongzhao and Village has spread, and these people are all here to see Miss Chen. ”

Tsukimi glanced at him twice: "How do you know?" ”

"Of course, it's because of this grand scene and my share of credit," Ling You said proudly, "When I went out for a walk this morning, I heard a lot of people talking about Miss Chen's solving the case yesterday, I listened to it a few times, and found that they only knew one of them, but didn't know the other, so I took the initiative to tell them about Miss Chen's Shenwei who solved the case yesterday and how Miss Chen was forced to solve the case in Qingxi County, and how she was persecuted by the unscrupulous Zhixian County, and finally was rescued by our son and followed to Luyang County." ”

"It's a pity that you didn't see it, in the process of I talked, how spectacular that scene was, the crowds of people and shoulder to shoulder are not enough to describe one-twelfth of it!"

Tsukimi snorted, "You just blow it." ”

Ling You also snorted: "Who blew it!" ”

Chen Chaoyan ignored the bickering between the two, and after looking out along the corner of the lifted curtain, she retracted her gaze and looked at Xie Xuan, who was leaning on a table and half-sitting and half-lying on the Hu bed, and asked, "Has Meng Boshan arrived in Luyang County?" ”

Xie Xuan glanced at her and said, "I arrived last night." ”

Chen Chaoyan asked: "He refuses to explain the person behind him?" ”

Xie Xuan laughed, "How did you know?" ”

Chen Chaoyan glanced at Lingyou, "Advertise it widely, in order to force the person behind it to appear, is it difficult to guess?" ”

Yuejian suddenly stopped the bickering with Ling You and turned to look at her.

Ling You instinctively defended: "Miss Chen, how can you misunderstand ...... so much?"

Looking at Chen Chaoyan's clear and thorough eyes, Ling You was dumbfounded for a moment, then quickly opened his eyes and muttered: "I obviously went around promoting your merits because I respected Miss Chen. ”

Chen Chaoyan smiled slightly: "It's good to believe it yourself, you don't have to convince me." ”

Ling You stopped talking.

Xie Xuan said: "Meng Baishan said that he was picked up by Lord Zhou. ”

Chen Chaoyan asked, "What does Lord Zhou say?" ”

Xie Xuan glanced at her: "Lord Zhou said that he was instigated by Meng Baishan. The two argued endlessly, but there was no result for a long time, so I asked Lord Feng to put them in the same prison and let them continue to fight. It seems that the result has not yet been achieved. ”

After thinking for a moment, Chen Chaoyan said, "Meng Baishan should not have been picked up by Lord Zhou. In Qingxi County, when Lord Zhou prevented me from solving the case of Wu Qiang's mother and son, Mrs. Song once said that Lord Zhou had less than two months to go, and his four-year term would expire. If it was Zhou Daren's pestering, he could have started one or two years in advance, not only with more opportunities, but also with a greater probability of success. Pick at the end of the term...... The gambling component is too big. ”

"I thought about what you said." Xie Xuan said half-truthfully, "But Song Yanzhong, the nephew of Old Lady Song who was on an errand in the county guard's mansion, said that Meng Baishan was a very honest and responsible person, and if no one took care of him, he would not be able to do such a thing that lost his conscience." ”

Old Madam Song had a nephew who was on an errand in the county guard mansion, and if he hadn't mentioned it, Chen Chaoyan would almost not have remembered it. However, after Song Zhang's murder, Mrs. Song's nephew did not complain about Song Zhang, but exonerated Meng Baishan...... Chen Chaoyan asked quietly, "What is the relationship between Song Yanzhong and Old Madam Song's family?" ”

Xie Xuan looked over, "Miss Chen suspects him?" ”

"It's not a doubt," Chen Chaoyan said truthfully, "It's just that I can't understand his words and deeds, so what's the point of checking it?" ”

Xie Xuan looked at her steadily, "Miss Chen is so active in investigating the people behind Meng Baishan in order to get rid of me as soon as possible?" ”

"You're thinking too much." Chen Chaoyan replied solemnly, "I just want to solve the potential danger as soon as possible." ”

Of course, it is not excluded that there is an idea of getting rid of him as soon as possible.

Xie Xuan seemed to smile, "Really? ”

Chen Chaoyan nodded sincerely: "Yes." ”

Xie Xuan still looked like he was smiling: "Does Miss Chen know why I came to Luyang County?" ”

Chen Chaoyan immediately looked at him and said seriously: "I would like to hear about it." ”
