Chapter 185 Suicide in Fear of Crime?
Besides, the rush to start the trial also wanted to catch them off guard, otherwise, the beauty tax case would never have been solved so quickly, but she didn't have much evidence about the private local official tax.
The two were talking, and at this time, Shen Sishi, who was outside, suddenly knocked on the door and came in: "Master, Aunt Zhang's mother and daughter came to thank you, saying that they must see you." ”
When Shen Yunchu heard this, he was still a little hesitant, and Shen Qingyue on the side said, "Let them come in, just chat." ”
"Yes." Shen Sishi answered, then turned his head and went out to ask.
Watching Shen Si Shi leave, Shen Yunchu hesitated again and again, but after all, he didn't stop it, and Shen Qingyue said: "You, don't think too much, they just want to thank you when they see you, and it's not a big deal." ”
Shen Yunchu smiled and didn't say anything.
Not long after, Aunt Zhang took her little daughter into the door, and without saying a word, she knelt down with a "poof", so frightened that Shen Yunchu stood up suddenly, and hurriedly helped the mother and daughter up with Shen Qingyue.
Aunt Zhang held her daughter's hand tightly and burst into tears: "Thank you Lord Shen for your kindness, our mother and daughter are grateful, even if they go to the soup in the future, they will repay the kindness of adults." ”
"Aunt Zhang, don't say that." Shen Yunchu helped the person up and said busily: "As an official of the DPRK and China, this is what I should do, I can't talk about the grace of recreation, but don't do this." ”
Listening to Shen Yunchu's words, Aunt Zhang was so excited that she could hardly speak, only wiped her tears, the two comforted the mother and daughter, and after dealing with the affairs of the county government, the sky was almost dark.
Chen Hao took people back to the barracks first, and Shen Qingyue accompanied Shen Yunchu to stay in the county government office temporarily.
After dinner, Shen Yunchu went to the archives of the county government and looked through the cases that Wu Yong had accepted in the past few years in office.
However, none of this should be asked about by her, and after the new magistrate sent from above takes over the affairs here, she will also leave and concentrate on investigating the affairs of the anti-rebellion party.
She just thought that if she could find something related to the private collection of local official taxes, it could also be used as a clue.
Unconsciously, the sky gradually darkened, Linlang lit the candles in the archive room early, and when she came in to look again, it was almost late at night, but Shen Yunchu didn't seem to have any intention of sleeping.
"Miss, rest early." Linlang said helplessly, although she knew that it was useless to persuade her, but for the sake of her body, she still had to persuade her.
Even if she is like this, as soon as she gets things done, she just asks the world, and she has to do something to be willing to do the work in Fangxi's hands.
Sure enough, as Linlang expected, listening to her words, Shen Yunchu just replied lightly: "Well, okay, I know." ”
Linlang was helpless, so she had to put the things in her hand in front of her first: "If Miss really wants to see it, drink something to warm up and watch it again." ”
Shen Yunchu nodded, answering yes, but his eyes never raised his head from the file in his hand.
Linlang was a little helpless, at this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside, Shen Yunchu realized something, raised his head suddenly, and saw Shen Sishi hurriedly entered the door: "Wu Yong, dead." ”
When Shen Yunchu led people over, Bai Yuheng had already taken the first step to transport the body out, and when he saw her coming, his eyes met, and his expressions were a little solemn.
Bai Yuheng naturally knew her intention, and said simply and clearly: "Those who take poison and die are red on the top of the crane." ”
Shen Yunchu looked at the person lying on the ground, looked at it from head to toe, and saw that the person on the ground had a purple face, bleeding from seven holes, and was dying in a tragic state, obviously more than just a poison.
After a while, Shen Yunchu turned his head to the servant on the side: "Where is the poison?" Didn't you do a body search before you were detained? Or has anyone come in to visit? ”
In the face of these questions, everyone also shook their heads in unison, confirming that there was a body search, and it had only been half a day, and no one had ever visited the prison.
Then this is strange, this poison can't appear for no reason, someone always does it deliberately.
Shen Yunchu was thinking about it, and when he was puzzled, Bai Yuheng gently pulled her arm, as if to appease, and said: "The person is already dead, and when it is announced tomorrow, the newly appointed county magistrate will take over the case, don't worry too much." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yunchu slowly came back to her senses, and what she said was that the matter of the beauty tax had been resolved, and when the new county magistrate took office, she would make every effort to track down the turmoil in Belvedere and let its leader appear to negotiate as soon as possible.
On the way back to the room, Shen Yunchu had always been puzzled by this matter, and couldn't figure out whether Wu committed suicide in fear of crime or whether someone wanted to kill people.
But if someone wants to kill someone, how did the poison get in? How can you guarantee that Wu Yong will definitely eat it?
With a series of doubts, Shen Yunchu always tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, seeing that the sky had revealed a trace of fish belly white, she was still tossing and turning in bed.
Suddenly, there was a "click" sound from the direction of the window where stones were thrown into the house and fell on the floor, and the trace of sleepiness that Shen Yunchu had just brewed disappeared in an instant.
She sat up subconsciously, almost concentrating on listening to the sounds around her, but apart from the crisp sound of stones falling to the ground, there was no movement.
It was very quiet, only a faint light spilled in through the open window, and everything seemed so quiet and beautiful.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yunchu still lifted the quilt and got out of bed, cautiously went in the direction of the window to check the movement, poked his head out, and glanced at the empty floor-to-ceiling window, a half-fist-sized stone was wrapped in paper and lay quietly on the floor.
What is that?
She frowned, instantly raised her vigilance, and after making sure that there was no threat around, she slowly approached, picked up the stone on the ground, opened the note, and saw that it was written: "If you want to know the truth about Wu Yong's suicide, see you in Qiujing Temple outside the city in three days." ”
Qiukeiji Temple ......
Shen Yunchu looked at the unfamiliar handwriting in her hand, and became more and more puzzled in her heart, she was sure that she had never seen such words, and the other party should be someone she didn't know.
But who is it, a prank? Or did someone really see it? If it was true, why did you ask her to meet her at a temple outside the city?
She was thinking about it, suddenly, a black shadow fell suddenly, she was shocked, instinctively wanted to call someone, but was violently covered by a big hand, and then the whole person was surrounded, forced to the wall, back against the cold wall, the familiar smell wrapped her, a shadow pressed down in front of her eyes, she was shocked, it was Bai Yuheng.
He wrapped her in his arms with one hand, and the whole body was over her, and he pressed her firmly against the wall, and the two of them were pressed together tightly.
He turned his head and looked at the courtyard wall vigilantly, as if he was alert to something, Shen Yunchu's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze fell on the wall.
