Chapter X: Difficult Cases

Xu Hanliang used to love to watch film and television dramas such as "Detective Di Renjie" and "Da Song Ti Criminal Officer", but it was the first time he encountered this kind of murder in reality.

Whether it is modern or the Great Song Dynasty, it is not a trivial matter that involves a lawsuit involving human life.

Coupled with the pressure from his boss, Jiang Wen was obviously a little tricky.

Judging from the facts of the case, the case is not complicated.

But if Jiang Wen can continue to investigate under pressure, it can be seen that something strange must have been discovered.

While speaking, everyone was already walking towards the room.

Xu Hanliang saw that everyone didn't pay attention to him, so he simply followed behind everyone.

Jiang Xin'er was not afraid of the murder at all, and actually went to the room together.

In the room.

It's a little colder inside the room than outside.

Several large ice cubes were placed in the corner of the room, exuding bursts of cold air, but Xu Hanliang couldn't help but wrap himself tightly.

Lifting the white cloth in front of him, a corpse came into view.

"My lord, we have checked it many times, and it is true that he hanged himself without any signs of poisoning."

He stepped forward and said respectfully.

It was winter, and the corpse had been left in the hut for several days, but nothing had changed.

For this scholar surnamed Qian, although Xu Hanliang is not familiar with it, he still has some impressions in his memory.

It's a modest person.,I'm not very good at dealing with people on weekdays.,The tongue tends to be clumsy.。

has always stayed at home to read books, even if it is a poetry meeting of some literati, he will not participate.

Looking at the Qian scholar with a slightly hideous face and obvious rope marks on his neck, Xu Hanliang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

However, the more he looked at the Qian scholar in front of him, the more Xu Hanliang felt that something was wrong.

"It should be possible to close the case, let him be buried in peace, at this time, as an elder, I am fully responsible."

Qian Yuanwai looked at the Qian scholar in front of him, and his body subconsciously took two steps back.

Immediately after, he looked like an elder and sighed slowly.

"Then close the case."

Jiang Wen nodded, so he had to do it.

"My lord, there must be something strange about this."

Xu Hanliang, who was still staring at the corpse, stood up at this moment.

Xu Hanliang is quite conspicuous in the crowd, after all, his one-meter-eight figure and elegant temperament are a little out of place with the people around him.

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Xu Hanliang.

"Who are you?"

The money clerk frowned, and his tone was a little unkind.

"This Xu Gongzi saved the little girl this morning, and he can be regarded as my benefactor."

Without waiting for Xu Hanliang to answer, Jiang Wen introduced a sentence.

Hearing Jiang Wen's introduction, there was a trace of disdain in Qian Yuanwai's eyes.

sneered: "Now that the county magistrate has announced the closure of the case, what do you have to say?" ”

Xu Hanliang ignored Qian Yuanwai, but asked Jiang Wen: "Lord Jiang, in fact, I don't know something, why is my lord reluctant to close the case?" ”

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then spoke: "Just because the stool we found at the scene was very low, if this scholar Qian was hanging himself on the stool, he would have to jump at least one and a half feet." ”

Hearing this, Xu Hanliang also understood the reason why Jiang Wen was reluctant to close the case.

One foot in the Northern Song Dynasty was about thirty centimeters.

This foot and a half is at least half a meter.

Unless this money book is insane, why should he challenge the difficult way to commit suicide?

"Who knows? After all, they are not at the scene, is this evidence? ”

Qian Yuanwai took over the conversation and asked rhetorically.

It was precisely because this could not be used as evidence that Jiang Wen felt that it was tricky.

If Qian Shusheng is taken away today, then this case will become a headless unsolved case, and it will be sealed in the file.

"Master Jiang, I have another question, where did you find this? If you have time, let's change it. ”

Xu Hanliang's gaze turned to the young man on the side, and continued.

When the servant on the side heard this, his face was full of anger: "What do you mean? ”

"Can't you see? The man in front of him was not hanged, but after he died, he was hung on a rope. ”

Xu Hanliang said unhurriedly.

"This, how, how is it possible? Nonsense! ”

The young man was slightly stunned, not believing Xu Hanliang's words at all.

"If you say you hang yourself, your skin should be blue, and your complexion will be hideous, and the blood vessels in your eyes will burst."

"This book lives and dies more peacefully than you sleep, and you tell me that it is hanged?"

Xu Hanliang snorted lightly, but he didn't save any face.

After all, if I hadn't been here today, I guess this case would have been settled.

Seeing the young man's panicked appearance, Jiang Wendang knew that what Xu Hanliang said was indeed true.

Immediately spoke: "Don't hide it, the old servant has been made an ancient a few days ago, and this new servant is his grandson ......."

He thought that although this newcomer was indeed a prodigal in the past, he had always learned a little bit of his grandfather's skills.

But he never thought that even the person who was hanged and the person he killed could not be distinguished.

As a history teacher, Xu Hanliang also likes to find some ancient books to read.

Even Song Ci's "Record of Clearing Grievances" has been involved, so he naturally remembers a lot of autopsy methods.

"Then you say, how did this scholar die?"

The young man wanted to regain a little face, so he asked rhetorically.

"If you guessed correctly, it should be poisoning."

Xu Hanliang thought for a moment and said.

After the young man heard Xu Hanliang's words, he sneered: "Poisoning? I've already tested it with a silver needle, so how could it be poisoning? ”

Xu Hanliang looked at the work and said coldly: "Who told you that the silver needle can test all the poisons?" You can only try arsenic, right? ”

For this work, Xu Hanliang has no good feelings.

is not skilled in itself, and it is completely relying on the seniors in the family to get into such a position.

It is also a highly skilled industry, and once there is a mistake, it will inevitably create unjust, false and wrongful cases.

To put it mildly, in this kind of profession, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, which is a matter of carelessness for human life.

"Scratches can be clearly seen on his chest, which should have been caught by himself, and there are many oleanders in Changzhou, and nine times out of ten it is oleander poisoning......"

Xu Hanliang spoke slowly and said the symptoms one by one.

After these words were finished, the young man who was still hard-mouthed had completely lost his voice.

"I just heard from the official that you should be the first to find the body, according to what you said, you should have met your mother's house in those two days and went to Suzhou, so you have an alibi."

Xu Hanliang said, and walked in front of the beautiful woman.

At this time, the beautiful woman, her eyes were a little evasive, and nodded.

"And where are you?"

Xu Hanliang turned his head abruptly and looked at the Qian clerk behind him.

When Qian Yuanwai heard this, his face changed, and he was furious: "You are a small citizen of Shengdou, how dare you question me?" ”

"Outside of the money, this matter is related to the case, otherwise you will tell the truth."

Jiang Wen thought about Xu Hanliang so carefully, seeing that the case had a clue, he simply let him interrogate.
