Not drowning?!

Everyone looked at Xu Jing in shock, and some villagers couldn't help but say: "Xiao Dongzi obviously lost his breath after being fished out of the water, if it wasn't for drowning, how did he die!" ”

Xu Jing pointed to Xiao Dongzi's corpse and said in a deep voice: "Let's take a closer look, Xiao Dongzi's exposed limbs have obvious purple-red and blue-purple swelling, which is a trace of frostbite, and the skin is gooseskin-like, and there is a clear boundary between Xiao Dongzi and the place where Xiao Dongzi is covered by clothes. The skin of Xiao Dongzi's whole body is even more pale pink, and his lips are weirdly slightly curled, looking like he is not smiling. ”

Only then did everyone realize that the corners of Xiao Dongzi's mouth seemed to be upturned, and it looked very infiltrating.

Just now they were in a hurry to save people, and they didn't take a closer look at Xiao Dongzi's appearance!

Immediately, a well-informed villager shouted, "This ...... Isn't that what people look like when they're frozen to death? ”

Yan Ci's face also sank slightly.

She had seen people frozen to death, but she was a doctor, and she had always studied living people, so she had never paid close attention to what people were like.

She couldn't help but look at the woman not far away with slightly dark eyes.

She clearly said that she was a doctor, but why did she know these things that she would only know?

For other people, Xu Jing can use himself as a doctor, so he also has a certain amount of research on the dead to fool the past, but this reason can't fool the real doctor.

Xu Jing naturally sensed Yan Ci's suspicious gaze, and simply said generously: "I have assisted the government in investigating the case before, so I have a certain understanding of the corpse. ”

Assisted the government in investigating the case?

This...... Who is this sacred!

The people from Xijing are really not to be underestimated!

Everyone looked at Xu Jing's eyes and changed suddenly, and Chen Laosan, who had just taken the lead in going into the water to save people, suddenly stepped forward and said, "In this case, Xu Niangzi may assist us in finding out the truth about Xiao Dongzi's death?" ”

Although the other villagers had some changes to Xu Jing, they still hesitated when they heard this: "This is not suitable...... Who knows if what this woman said is true or not? ”

"Yes, I think it's better to wait for dawn to report to the official and let the people from the government check it......"

Chen Laosan said: "When the day dawns, naturally I still have to report to the official, let Xu Niangzi help investigate the truth, and it is not in conflict with us to report to the official after dawn, find out the truth of Xiao Dongzi's death as soon as possible, and Xiao Dongzi can rest in peace sooner." ”

This Chen Laosan seemed to have some prestige in the village, and the few men who had just objected immediately stopped talking, and the other villagers were already discussing how Xiao Dongzi died.

"If Xiao Dongzi was frozen to death, it means that after he froze to death, someone threw him into the river."

"Then Jiang Da is still very suspicious! Even if he didn't kill the person, he must have thrown Xiao Dongzi into the river! ”

"It's also possible that Xiao Dongzi was frozen and dazed, and accidentally fell into the water while walking by the river, and swallowed his last breath in the water?"

The first batch of men who rushed to the river to save people immediately said: "Xiao Dongzi definitely didn't fall into the river by himself!" He was thrown in, otherwise the sound of the falling water wouldn't have been so loud! ”

"Yes, yes, although we didn't see the scene of Xiao Dongzi falling into the water, but we heard that voice, poof, so loud, I'm sure Xiao Dongzi fell into the water from a height!"

Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Da on the side.

Who else can throw the child into the river except Jiang Da, who was by the river at that time!

Moreover, although the child was frozen to death, who knows if he still had a breath left before he was thrown into the river!

Chen Laosan came out again and said: "Jiang Da is indeed very suspicious, but just like Yan Xian Doctor said, we can't accuse people at will with anger, so let's do it, Jiang Da, before dawn, you should be wronged first, and as a suspect, listen to our arrangement, if before dawn, Xu Niangzi can prove that you are innocent, we will not send you to the government." ”

Jiang Da's eyes instantly skipped a touch of fierceness, but he didn't have a seizure at all, he just glanced in Yan Ci's direction as if he didn't have anything, and said in a deep voice: "Okay." ”

The villagers who were originally nervous and wary saw that Jiang Da was willing to be obedient, and they couldn't help but relax a little, and two big men immediately brought a bundle of hemp rope and said, "Just in case, we have to tie your hands first." ”

Jiang Da was silent for a moment, and stretched out his hands silently.

The two men tied him up and took him into the village, presumably to temporarily lock him up somewhere.

Since Jiang Da was willing to cooperate with the villagers, Xu Jing had been secretly observing Yan Ci, she had never looked at Jiang Da's direction, as if she didn't care about him, but when Jiang Da was taken away, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, frowning slightly, with a faint worry on her face.

Xu Jing immediately knew it.

There is indeed some kind of relationship between Yan Ci and Jiang Da.

And Jiang Da is very repulsive to the government office, if the next day, the villagers really want to forcibly take him to the government office, maybe something uncontrollable will happen.

Therefore, before that, the truth of Xiao Dongzi's death must be found out.

At this moment, an exaggerated cry suddenly came from not far away, and a woman with a round face and a slightly chubby figure walked over quickly, knelt beside Xiao Dongzi with a "poof", and said loudly: "Dongzi! Why are you leaving? Although you are not my biological baby, but you are also brought up by me, in my heart, you are no different from my biological baby, A-Niang is still counting on you to give A-Niang a pension to the end! ”

is Yan Si's wife, Xiao Dongzi's stepmother, and Wang's sister-in-law.

A few women who came with her hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said: "Sister-in-law Wang, you mourn, you are still pregnant with the second child, if the grief is excessive, it affects the baby in the belly, and Xiaodongzi is not at ease when you know it!" ”

"Yes, Xiao Dongzi is usually so filial, and he definitely doesn't want to see you and Yan Si so sad for him."

Some villagers who came over early in the morning took the opportunity to say: "Du Sheng's family is right, the child is under Jiuquan, and he must also hope that our living people are well, Yan Si, Chen Laosan, I see that your lips are purple from the cold, you have a water in this cold world, how can you only cover a blanket enough, go back and change your clothes quickly!" ”

Chen Laosan was not in a hurry to go back, looked at Xu Jing and said, "Xu Niangzi, what do you think will happen to Xiao Dongzi's body next?" ”

Xu Jing said: "Let's carry it into the village first, I want to conduct a simple autopsy on Xiao Dongzi." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, mother, this little lady is real.

Such a little lady who is richly dressed and carries a large number of guards with her, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with the word autopsy!

They thought that only some lowly people would do this kind of work!

The nobles of Xijing are really not ordinary!

Sister-in-law Wang suddenly looked at Xu Jing and said, "Check ...... What kind of autopsy? Who are you? What do you want to do to Dongzi! ”

Some villagers who had been staying here hurriedly helped explain: "Sister-in-law Wang, don't worry, Xu Niangzi is a Xijing nobleman who has helped the government investigate the case, Chen Laosan said, before dawn, let Xu Niangzi help find out how Xiao Dongzi died." You and Yan Si can rest assured! ”

However, Sister-in-law Wang's expression was obviously not at all at ease, but she didn't know what to say when she saw that the other villagers had an expression that the matter was settled.

When she followed the other villagers to the village, she couldn't help but look back at Xu Jing several times.

Xu Jing couldn't help but ask Wei Muqing on the side thoughtfully, "I remember you said that Sister-in-law Wang's stepmother is not bad for Xiao Dongzi?" ”

Small case, small case~
