Chapter 58: Contact
As soon as Lin Chonghan said that she was going to throw her son out, the old woman hurriedly closed her mouth tightly and said no more.
Nan Er first apologized to Lin Chonghan and asked the other party to forgive his mother's extreme actions, and then he walked up to Qi Zuo and asked, "If you are asked to dissect, can you tell if my brother is drowning?" ”
"Yes," said him categorically, "there is water in the lungs of a drowning person, and if not drowning, at most there is water in the mouth, and there is no water in the lungs." ”
After hearing this, Nan Er nodded in agreement: "Test!" ”
Facing his mother's gaze, he persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, think about it, if your brother is really killed, can you bear to let the person who killed him go unpunished?" ”
After he persuaded his mother, seeing that her attitude gradually softened, he raised his face and nodded to him, and motioned for him to open the autopsy.
Gu Qingzhang was originally standing behind him, wanting to see the autopsy results.
But he suddenly remembered that Lin Chonghan didn't seem to have eaten anything since he got up in the morning, so he grabbed a subordinate and asked him to go out to buy some snacks and come back.
When he finished his order, the servants there also ripped off Nanyue's clothes and found the place where his lungs were.
Nanyue's body was covered with purple-red corpse spots, and with the movements of his hands, everyone also saw the lungs of the deceased.
- I saw that the inside of the lungs was dry and refreshing, and there was no water accumulation.
Nan Erru was struck by lightning, he staggered back a few steps uncontrollably, and muttered in disbelief: "No water, my brother has no water in his lungs, he was killed by gangsters!" ”
It's just that Nan Er didn't have time to be shocked, because her mother and sister-in-law fainted together after knowing the result.
He hurriedly helped him step forward to check it out, and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that I fainted because I couldn't stand the stimulation, it's okay, please don't worry too much." ”
Since it is a homicide case, and the power behind the victim is not small, then the Suzhou government not only can't sit idly by, but also give justice to the Nan family.
The little official's mouth was bitter, but he didn't expect that it was just an errand to have such a thing.
"Now that the cause of death is known," he said, "the top priority is to let Nanyue Gongzi go to earth, and as for the investigation of the case, please rest assured that our government will not let go of any murderer." ”
Nan Er was naturally grateful, he asked his subordinates to use a carriage to take his brother's body first, and then asked people to help clean up the mess in Gu Qingzhang's mansion.
After sweeping the end, he solemnly thanked Gu Qingzhang and the three of them again, and then left with someone.
Looking at their distant backs, Lin Shijing suddenly said, "This person can be of great use." ”
Lin Chonghan nodded: "He is not chaotic in the face of danger, he is methodical and reasonable, he is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people, but I don't know what kind of character his brother is." ”
"It's a pity that he has passed away, and we don't have the opportunity to see his demeanor during his lifetime."
Just as he was sighing, there was a sudden noise in the front yard, and a fat man walked towards him, still carrying a bag of things in his hand.
Gu Qingzhang quickly recognized the person: "Gua Er, are you back?" ”
The person who came was Gua Er, who personally sent the account book to the capital before, and after he sent the account book, he took a short rest and went back on the road, and finally arrived in Suzhou today.
"Not long after I arrived, my subordinates were just about to go to you," Gua Er smiled innocently, "I didn't expect that when I was buying food, I met a small guy next to Second Master Lin, and my subordinates became more and more familiar, and when I asked, it was him." ”
"Master Hou," he looked Gu Qingzhang up and down, and asked a little strangely, "Why are you soaked?" ”
When he said this, Gu Qingzhang suddenly came back to his senses: "If you don't say that I forgot, Chonghan, I'll go take a bath first, you and Lin Er have something to tell Gua Er." ”
"County Lord, Master Hou asked someone to buy it, you eat it first."
Gua Er stepped forward, he handed her the dim sum he bought by the way, and not long after he walked to Lin Chonghan's side, his face changed slightly.
"It smells of death," Guaji sniffed the smell in the air, keenly sensing that something was wrong, "Is something wrong?" ”
Lin Shijing sat down and opened the oil paper, he handed the puff pastry inside to Lin Chonghan, took one himself, and put the rest on another rockery before he slowly opened his mouth.
He said, "Your lord invited us to eat grilled fish this morning, and halfway through the meal, we found a dead man in the river. ”
Gua 2: ......
Rao was well-informed, but he was still shocked by Gu Qingzhang's luck.
Lin Chonghan was so hungry that she faintly fainted in front of her, and she took a bite of the snack, and the burning hunger in her stomach subsided.
Swallowing the snack, she added: "The one who died was still a man with a head and a face, the eldest son of the Nan family of the Suzhou incense family, called Nanyue." ”
"Nanyue?"
Gua Er subconsciously felt a little familiar.
He pondered and meditated for a long time, and suddenly reacted violently, and said: "Suzhou Nanjia Nanyue, there is him in this heavy account book!" …… I think about it, it seems that on October 5, the sixth year of Jian'an, Suzhou Nanyue offered 10,000 taels. ”
"Fang Zhong?"
Lin Chonghan and her brother glanced at each other, and she said to herself thoughtfully: "It stands to reason that this Nan family should not collude with Fang Chong. ”
"Fang Cai's official said," Lin Shijing reminded her, "The Nan family seems to have someone to protect in the court, so could this person be the same as the person behind Fang Chong?" ”
At this time, Gu Qingzhang, who had finished taking a bath, was walking over, he saw that the two of them had solemn faces and a stagnant atmosphere, and only after asking did he learn that the eldest son of the newly deceased Nan family had colluded with Fang Chong.
"In that case," Gu Qingzhang's hair was still dripping with water, and he instinctively felt that something was wrong, "Then will this Nanyue's death have anything to do with Fang Chong?" ”
Lin Chonghan shook his head: "It's hard to say everything, you need to wait for the investigation over there." ”
"But Fang Chong is dead, and the matter of Haozhou is over," she wondered at the same time, "If Nanyue knew Fang Chong's secret, then Fang Chong should have taken care of him a long time ago." ”
Gu Qingzhang nodded: "Yes, Nanyue's death is only in these few days, but Fang Zhong - he died early." ”
Their speculation was not unreasonable, Fang Chong died before Nanyue, and the matter of moving Fang Chong down had nothing to do with the Nan family, so Nanyue was definitely not killed because he threatened Fang Chong.
"It's very simple," Lin Shijing asked the little guy to pour himself a bowl of water to moisten his throat, this snack was too dry for him, "Nanyue was either killed for a personal matter, or because he offended someone who shouldn't be offended." ”
"What we don't know now is what kind of cause of death Nanyue is."
Lin Chonghan inexplicably felt that something was wrong, her eyebrows were jumping, her heart was also a little nervous, and an indescribable intuition told her that this matter must be investigated.
So she said: "Master Hou, we must investigate this matter." ”
