Chen Chengzuo is not very old, but since his great-grandfather, he has been an incumbent servant of the imperial court and has rich experience.

Of course, he knew that just this scar, and there was no skull, could not be said to be the fatal wound of the deceased.

Only he was threatened before going to bed last night, and he could only say this in order to save his life.

Now questioned by Li Shangshu, Chen Cheng made a cold sweat: "Return, go back to Master Li, the deceased only has this wound on his body, and the villain thinks that this should be the fatal wound of the deceased."

"Human life is at stake, and the task of the work is to accurately determine why the deceased died, not just based on his own inference and speculation, Chen Cheng has been doing this for five or six years, do you still want to teach you this truth?"

Li Jizhi's words are very heavy.

Chen Chengzuo's face was flustered, and he knelt directly on the ground: "Master Li, the villain knows his mistake, and the villain will re-examine it."

Fortunately, Li Jizhi didn't let go.

Chen Chengzuo did not lose this errand, and this autopsy was extremely careful, not only opening the skull, but also taking out the stomach of the deceased for poisoning.

This test was another cold sweat.

The deceased's skull was intact, that is to say, Yan Shizi only smashed the deceased to bleed at that moment, but it was not fatal, and no poisoning was found in the deceased's stomach.

How exactly did the deceased die?

"Chen Yanzuo, why don't you speak?"

"Back to my lord, the villain can't be sure why the deceased died."

Zhao Shangshu was anxious: "My son was obviously beaten to death by him, you just said the same, why did you suddenly retort, did you accept the benefits of some people?"

Chen Yanzuo wiped his sweat with his sleeve in fear.

Where did he receive benefits, it was clear that he was threatened and saved his life.

But even if he said it now, Zhao Shangshu wouldn't believe it.

"Lord Zhao, the deceased's skull is intact, and there is no sign of poisoning, the villain really can't judge, it's not that he was bought, please also ask your lord to see it."

Li Jizhi: "Since Chen Chengzuo can't be sure, then let Zhen Chengzuo, who is on temporary duty in the Criminal Department, come here, do you two have any opinions?"

Li Jizhi asked Lu Gongbi and Wang Gongchen.

The two shook their heads, and Li Jizhi asked the officials who came with him to call Zhen Tongzuo quickly.

You can't let so many people just wait, Li Jizhi means let these people go back first, and then summon them when they need to testify.

But Lu Gongbi and Wang Gongchen disagreed.

The reason is that they are afraid of collusion.

Su Yixin is happy, it has been a day since the incident, and if you really want to collude, there are many opportunities, but now you are worried that they will collude?

"Lord Lu, we are just witnesses, no, we just happened to be eating in the box next door and heard some movements, how can we talk about confessions? We don't want to see a human life die like this, and cooperate with the government to investigate the case, but you can't treat us as murderers."

Su Yixin's words resonated with everyone.

"That's it, we have already recorded the confession yesterday, and we will be summoned when we need it, why did they call us early, and if we are delayed, it will be half a day, and there will be something!"

"The government can't be unreasonable!"

Lu Gongbi's face drooped: "Quiet, this official's move is also because this case is not trivial, just treat it carefully."

Just now it was because Su Yixin raised her head, and everyone listened to Lu Gongbi's words yesterday, knowing her identity, and with her taking the lead, they naturally dared to express their dissatisfaction.

But they don't dare to protest on their own.

Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials.

So I set my eyes on Su Yixin, hoping that she could say a few more words.

Su Yixin didn't say anything this time, and Gu Qingjue spoke: "Lord Lu's words are wrong!"

Lu Gongbi: ......

"As far as I know, from yesterday's incident to the present, no one has gone to the scene of the crime to check, according to what Master Lu said, I think this case is not trivial, shouldn't I go to the scene of the crime first?"

"Master Gu, now it's the official who is trying the case."

Li Ji was furious: "Lord Lu, you have been an official for several years, don't you even know this?"

Just now in the court, Zhao Shangshu sold miserably, the official family couldn't bear it, and ordered the three divisions to be tried immediately, and they hurriedly came to Kaifeng Mansion, because Lu Gongbi was in charge of the trial, Li Jizhi didn't ask too much, and he has always cooperated with Lu Gongbi's trial rhythm.

Who knew that there would be such a big omission.

"Xiaguan will send someone now."

"Hmph, let's go there myself!" Li Jizhi said to the people standing in the public court: "You go back first, you need to go to the court and then send someone to summon you."

Li Jizhi coaxed a few officials to the restaurant where the accident occurred.

The two followed behind Li Jizhi, saying that they were going to the restaurant to eat, but in fact, they were going to remove the defensive array that they had set up yesterday so that they could enter.

When I arrived at the restaurant, it was time for lunch.

Gu Qingjue shouted that Li Jizhi would eat first and then investigate the case. A day has passed, and the shopkeeper knows that the matter is serious, so he locked up the private room after he came back, and told Li Jizhi that no one would enter the private room after the accident, so he was not in a hurry at this time, and the meal still had to be eaten.

But as soon as Su Yixin arrived at the restaurant, she noticed that someone had moved the formation.

Since the shopkeeper has locked the door, there is no unintentional entry, and Yan Shizi's death is not simple.

After a brief lunch, Li Jizhi came to the private room where the accident occurred, the private room was smashed to pieces because of the fight, and there were not many clues available, but Li Jizhi still found clues in this chaos.

"What is this?"

Li Jizhi crouched down and picked up a pure white stone the size of a thumbprint from the broken porcelain piece.

"It's not a restaurant thing."

The shopkeeper Yue has been following by the side and answered in time: "The private rooms of the restaurant will be cleaned in time after receiving guests to ensure that they are clean and tidy, so this thing should be Yan Shizi or Zhao Langjun's."

Li Jizhi nodded and put things away.

I asked the official to check it again and make sure that there were no other clues that had been missed before returning to the office.

Zhen has arrived and is conducting an autopsy.

An hour later, the autopsy was completed, and the results were consistent with Chen's work, there was no crack in the skull, and there were no signs of poisoning, so it was really difficult to determine the cause of death.

When Zhen Chengzuo did the autopsy, Chen Chengzuo was on the side, and seeing that Zhen Chengzuo was consistent with the results he reached, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and looked at Li Jizhi and Zhao Shangshu's eyes with a little more confidence.

As if to say, yes, yes, the villain didn't make a mistake.

If you can't determine the cause of death, it's a headache.

Li Jizhi took out the pure white stone he found from the restaurant and asked Zhao Shangshu and Yan Shiqing to identify it.

Yan Shiqing shook his head after seeing it: "This is not my thing."

Zhao Shangshu was not easy to confirm, so he asked the little guy who was waiting for Zhao Yongquan to identify it, and the little guy looked left and right, and he didn't dare to confirm it.

Yan Shiqing said: "At that time, I took Zhu Hai out of my sleeve, and Zhao Yongquan was about to grab it when he saw it, so I picked up the wine jug from the table and smashed it, but I didn't scuffle together."
