Chapter 16: Drowning
In the Zhou family, there was a deathly silence in the inner hall, and even the sound of reading stopped at this moment.
Zhou Xianling sat down on the chair, his eyes full of shock, and even to the point of doubting his life.
That night, I heard Zhou Changsheng talk about Ye Feng's ability, and I thought that this junior was fooling people, but now it seems that this is not all his strength.
Zhou Xianling pretended to take a sip of tea calmly, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead with the sleeve of his official uniform, and said in a deep voice: "I'll deal a card ticket, you can go and arrest someone." ”
"Don't rush yet!"
A voice came into the inner hall, and then, Ye Feng walked into the door quickly.
Seeing Ye Feng's figure, Zhou Xianling was like seeing a savior.
Now, Ye Feng is not only the savior of this case, but also the savior who can help the Zhou family turn over in the future.
Beside her, Zhou Youshuang was also looking at Ye Feng, with joy in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, and the admiration in her heart was even stronger.
Ye Feng bowed his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry now." ”
"Virtuous nephew, why can't you be in a hurry?" Zhou County Ling was very puzzled.
Ye Feng stood still, stood with his hands in his hands, and said quietly: "Right now, it is already certain that the boatman Hu San knows the details of Chen Qi's disappearance. So how did Chen Qi disappear, have you ever thought about it? ”
Zhou Xianling paused, narrowed his eyes, and said tentatively: "Since Hu San knows that Chen Qi is missing, he must have nothing to do with this matter!" ”
"The county commander is really wise and martial, in a word! It can really be described as the first blue sky master in Yangning! Ye Feng nodded again and again, and slapped a rainbow fart, Zhou Xianling was very comfortable, and the whole person was refreshed.
At the same time, Wu Teng, who was beside him, also spoke at the right time and answered: "According to our investigation, Hu San, the boatman, has been in and out of the casino a lot recently, and owes a lot of foreign debts. And this time Chen Qi went to Lincheng to buy grey cloth, he would definitely carry a large number of silver tickets, and the boatman Hu San saw that he was rich, and he had evil thoughts in his heart, killed Chen Qi, and disguised himself as the illusion of Chen Qi's disappearance. ”
"Murder?!" Zhou Xian Ling stood up suddenly, his eyes widening in shock.
The reason why he was shocked was not that the missing person case became a homicide case, but that once the missing person case became a homicide case, after the investigation was solved, his political performance was directly doubled!
Ye Feng didn't know that Zhou Xianling's inner Xiao Jiujiu was still analyzing the case: "If it was Hu Sanxing's murder, then Chen Qi was most likely killed on the boat. Then, the easiest way to dispose of the corpse is to throw it in the river. If the body can be found, through an autopsy, the evidence of Hu San's murder can be found, and then he will arrest people, and he can be directly convicted. ”
After listening to Ye Feng's story, Zhou Xianling nodded contentedly and sat back on the chair, only to feel that Ye Feng in front of him made him love it even more.
With Ye Feng's ability, it is more than enough to be a head catcher in Yongding County, if he can be taken to his side, with his case-solving mind, he will definitely make the county's case-solving rate soar.
In this way, the day of recovering the Zhou family is not far away.
In other words, his daughter Zhou Youshuang seems to have a good impression of him, but Ye Feng already has a marriage contract, and it seems that this matter has to be discussed in the long run.
……
In the evening, a resident came to the county government to report to the official, saying that a body had been found on the bank of the lower reaches of the river. Fan Ai, the head catcher, immediately went with a group of hunters and confirmed that the body found was the missing Chen Qi.
Yongding County Ya, morgue.
He lifted the white cloth on Chen Qi's body and said in a low voice, "It was drowned." ”
Ye Feng suddenly frowned: "Are you sure it was drowned?!" ”
He nodded, walked to the side of Chen Qi's corpse, and said seriously: "The corpse is cold, its face is blue, its skin is pale, and there are large areas of pale red patches on its body. There is mucus on the mouth and nose, a small amount of sediment in the mouth, and the skin on the hands and feet has obvious folds caused by the soaking of the river. There was noticeable swelling in the chest, a small amount of bleeding in the throat, everything was consistent with drowning. ”
Although there was no standardized dissection process in ancient times, it was still relatively professional for autopsy.
Except for some irregularities in the use of terminology, the results are completely comparable to modern autopsy reports.
"Are there any other external injuries on your body?" Ye Feng asked.
"There are marks of a heavy blow to the back of the head, which is blunt force trauma, but not fatal, and it is very likely that it was drowned and hit a rock on the shore."
Ye Feng pinched his chin, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, in this era, this work can be said to be very professional, but the conditions are backward, there is no way to carry out further dissection, and it is also an objective fact that cannot be changed.
Although Chen Qi's cause of death was drowning, accidental drowning or drowning murder is still a big question mark.
Is the trauma to the head an impact after falling into the water, or a blow before falling into the water?
If it was really Hu San who killed people, why did he use a blunt weapon instead of a sharp weapon?
Chen Qi has been on Hu San's boat for nearly three years, is it really a murder out of wealth?
Without conclusive evidence, there is no way to convict Hu San.
According to the law, there is no doubt about the guilt......
I thought that with the criminal investigation thinking that surpassed the ancients for centuries, it would be easy to solve the case in ancient times, but now it seems that the backwardness of science and technology is the most serious obstacle.
But what now?
"Ye Feng! Ye Feng! ”
A burst of shouts pulled Ye Feng's thoughts back, and in the next second, the door of the morgue was pushed open heavily, and Wu Teng strode in with his waist knife in his hand.
"Ye Feng, why are you here, I'm looking for you everywhere, come with me!" Wu Teng stepped forward and grabbed Ye Feng's arm, and was about to pull him out.
Ye Feng was a little dazed for a while, and subconsciously broke free of Wu Teng's wrist: "Where are you going?!" ”
Wu Teng said a little eagerly: "Come with me to the county office, and the county order of Zhou will let you go!" ”
At this moment, Ye Feng was even more confused: "Go to the county office?" Zhou County ordered me to come up by name? What is he looking for me? ”
Wu Teng swallowed hard and explained: "Zhou County's order is going to interrogate Hu San in court, and the person has been brought to the lobby by Fan Ai, and Zhou County's order will let you go to observe." Let me tell you, you are not the county government's catcher, and it is already an exception for you to observe, don't be uninteresting, come with me. ”
After Wu Teng finished speaking, he reached out to grab Ye Feng's arm again.
"What do you say?! Hu San has been taken to the lobby?! Ye Feng was a little shocked.
Wu Teng nodded: "Yes, I'll wait for you now!" Let's go! ”
"The county order is too anxious this week! Are you in such a hurry to get political achievements?! At present, there are no clear results from the autopsy, the cause of Chen Qi's death is not clear, and there is no conclusive evidence to accuse Hu San. Now is not the time for interrogation, I still have a few details to think about, can I wait until tomorrow? ”
"What nonsense? Come with me! I'm waiting for you! ”
Without waiting for Ye Feng to finish speaking, Wu Teng grabbed Ye Feng and ran towards the county hall with him like a chicken cub.
