Chapter 10 Post-mortem

Tang Jianqiu naturally knew that it might not be in accordance with the rules to do this, but it was a pity to think that the same case in his dream had become an unsolved case because of improper handling.

The case is not closed, but the real murderer is at large, he naturally does not want such a thing to happen;

"Lord Shilang, it's really a little abrupt below, the case of Wanli Ji Beizhen Fusi has to be accepted, that person is more or less involved in a case of collaborating with the enemy, I hope Lord Qiao understands."

Since it is a collaboration with the enemy and rebellion, it is enough to prove that this matter is not trivial, Tang Jianqiu naturally will not do anything, he is in charge of this case;

"Lord Tang, this is a little inappropriate, right? Now that the Three Law Divisions have issued a case of Tongwen Li, what is the use of my criminal department if the Beizhen Fu Division monopolizes it? ”

Qiao Yunsheng knew that he should sell Tang Jianqiu a face in this matter, but it would be disgraceful if he just let it go out like this, so he first refused very tactfully.

"I will accept the documents of the three law divisions for the time being, and I will truthfully report this matter to the emperor, and if there is anything wrong, I can negotiate with the criminal department to jointly try the case."

Tang Jianqiu will not embarrass the other party, if there is really something, he will bear it alone, not to mention that he is not the kind of despicable and shameless villain;

"This ...... The North Town Fusi and the Criminal Department tried the case together? That's unheard of! ”

Qiao Yunsheng only felt that there was something wrong with this matter, and he had never done it before, but now he ......

He casually looked at Tang Jianqiu's firm eyes, and sighed in desperation;

Since the other party said so, it was impossible for Qiao Yunsheng not to give Tang Jianqiu face, so he immediately agreed:

"In that case, then everything depends on the pacification."

"Thank you, Lord Lang of the Criminal Department, Tang has thanked me here, I don't know if I can go to the mansion to see the corpse of Guo Zixu?"

He wanted to see the face of the deceased, and although his face was unrecognizable because of the fire, he still wanted to know a thing or two, and he could not see what he could see;

"Of course, please!"

"Please."

After saying that, Qiao Yunsheng immediately made a gesture of invitation to welcome Tang Jianqiu in, and the rest of the brocade guards followed.

Tang Jianqiu was not restrained, and as soon as he arrived in the mansion, he saw a black coffin, and a corpse wrapped in a white cloth was placed next to it, presumably it was Guo Zixu.

The crying continued, and there was a woman next to her who hid her face and wept, it was the wife of Dr. Jiazhu Chaoqing.

She was naturally very uncomfortable when she saw her husband's corpse, and in addition to a few children about ten years old and some maids wiping their tears sadly.

"Your Excellency...... You must catch the murderer of my husband! ”

The woman was extremely distressed, and she longed to see the moment when the culprit's head hit the ground, and only in this way could she relieve the hatred in her heart!

"Don't worry, if you find out the truth, you will definitely give justice to Dr. Chaoqing."

After that, Tang Jianqiu circled around the corpse and found nothing suspicious, so he ordered Ah Fei beside him:

"Ah Fei, do it."

When Ah Fei heard that, as if he had seen something very terrifying, he waved his hand and shook his head:

"Adults, small ones don't dare."

Tang Jianqiu was obviously angry, his eyes rolled upward, and he wanted to punch him on the spot.

didn't wait for Tang Jianqiu to speak first, but Jinyiwei, who was a thousand households, couldn't stand it: "It's in vain for you to try a hundred households for Jinyiwei!" There must have been a lot of corpses you saw, how could you be so cowardly? What is it like to be so ugly! ”

Ah Fei followed them, and it was no exaggeration to say that there were at least hundreds of corpses that they had seen, and it stands to reason that they should be bolder.

Now that he has embarked on this road, it is the first thing to be bold as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, but now how can he be so pompous when he sees a burning corpse?

Ah Fei was very heroic when he broke the formation and killed the enemy, but if he was asked to do something unilaterally, he swore to death, not to mention that the people from the Criminal Department were still here, it would really lose face for Beizhen Fusi!

Tang Jianqiu was not in the mood at all now, but he still took it upon himself to uncover the white cloth covering the corpse.

Ah Fei didn't dare to look at it at all, so he almost turned his back and covered his eyes.

Thinking of the fact that he was a Jinyi guard trying a hundred households, Ah Fei had to convince himself desperately that he couldn't embarrass his brothers, and he also endured fear and watched it, and he almost didn't faint on the spot.

There is a certain reason why Ah Fei is like this;

When he was an orphan, he encountered a fire, and fortunately a kind person helped to save him, but the beggar friend he had finally made was buried in the fire forever.

He didn't forget the other party's eyes when he said goodbye, it was very complicated, even when he was on the verge of death, he didn't forget to tell Ah Fei that he must live happily.

Despair, excitement, sadness, all kinds of emotions are mixed together, and the will is consumed by the fire, and this is the fundamental reason why he has always been optimistic;

Sensing Ah Fei's emotions, Tang Jianqiu remembered that he didn't blame too much, but understood very much.

In his previous life, no matter how strict he was, no matter how excessive, Ah Fei was always loyal to himself, even if he faced death again, he did not forget to protect himself, even if he knew that he was facing the pain of a thousand cuts, he refused to confide half a word about him.

Tang Jianqiu stepped forward, "Let the adults laugh, Ah Fei once encountered an unknown fire, and he fell to the root of the disease, and things related to fire will inevitably be a little fearful, I hope you will forgive me." ”

Tang Jianqiu didn't say the specific things in detail, but just said a general idea, so as not to say too much and remind Ah Fei of something sad.

"I see, it's okay."

Qiao Yunsheng was originally a fair and honest official, and now that he encountered such a thing, he naturally understood, after all, this is also human nature.

Tang Jianqiu just used one sentence to move back to the original situation, which can not only reflect Tang Jianqiu's comfort to his subordinates, but also show Qiao Yunsheng's selflessness, and also retain Ah Fei's face, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

The atmosphere changed from stiffness to relaxation, Tang Jianqiu circled around the corpse again, and after a while, he put his right hand under his chin and asked a question:

"There's something I don't understand, and I hope Lord Shilang will solve it."

Qiao Yunsheng said: "Please speak." ”

"Are the autopsy results back?"

Tang Jianqiu is only concerned about this at present, if it is the same as what he thinks, then I am afraid that things will become out of control.

In the so-called autopsy, many people who died due to fire were often not burned to death, but smoked to death and choked to death, so the deceased's mouth and lungs must have burn marks.

If there is soot in the mouth of the corpse, it means that the body was cremated after death, and if there are traces of burning in the trachea, it means that it was burned to death.

"It's already out, the age of the deceased's teeth doesn't match Guo Zixu, it's an afterlife."

"Afterlife?"

The woman's face turned pale, and she was a little devastated, and her mouth kept trembling, saying no, no, no.

It was this kind of behavior that attracted their attention, and their eyes were unconsciously placed on the woman wearing filial piety clothes.

"Dare to ask Madame, is this ......" Qiao Yunsheng hesitated, puzzled by this.

"Back to your lordship's words, a few days ago, the eldest son of the courtier's wife suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't find it, and now the lord said such a thing, which really makes it difficult to surrender......"

The woman was a little afraid to accept that if the dead man was really her son, she would have fainted with fright.

"Madame don't need to panic, there is no full evidence to prove that the deceased is the son, please relax, Beizhen Fusi will go all out and give Madame a husband."

"The courtiers have thanked the two lords here!"

It was so important to the woman that she had to thank her again and again.

"You're welcome, dare to ask Madame, when did your eldest son disappear? Who was the first to find out? Tang Jianqiu asked again.

The woman said: "If you go back to your lordship, it is my stupid dog Guo Shide, who he saw with his own eyes that person robbed Guo Shihao." ”

"Is the little master injured?"

"Not really, according to what the dog said, the thief didn't think he would pose a threat to him when he saw him like this, and he didn't do anything to him, only to see him leave with Shihao,

But afterwards, the dog kept crying with the courtier, and must have been frightened, and it took a while to tell us, after all, this crazy appearance has no credibility even if it is said. ”

"Even so, where is Guo Zixu now?"

Tang Jianqiu was a little annoyed, if this was the case, then this case would be relatively tricky.

After all, Beiping is so big, if you really want to find it, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.

Qiao Yunsheng hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but still said truthfully: "This is ...... Then Ben Kou is not clear. ”

"How did the man die?"

Tang Jianqiu asked again, since he didn't know where the real Guo Zixu was, it was not a bad thing to know the cause of the deceased's death, so it was not possible to use favorable clues to know something;

"The body of the deceased is poisonous, presumably someone killed him."

Qiao Yunsheng knows very well that unless he is facing a desperate situation or has lost the desire to live, ordinary people will not think about suicide.

"Dare to ask what kind of poison you get?"

Because there are many types of poison, Tang Jianqiu has to draw specific conclusions from them.

Qiao Yunsheng did not answer Tang Jianqiu's relevant questions directly, but said something that was incomprehensible:

"It's just a little weird."

"How so?" Tang Jianqiu was even more curious.

Faced with Tang Jianqiu's doubts, Qiao Yunsheng reacted and patiently explained:

"Adults must know that lead sand can accumulate into a lot and kill people, but the lead in this deceased's body is so big, how can it be swallowed in the stomach?"

Without waiting for Tang Jianqiu to speak, Ah Fei spoke in a hurry: "Could it be that the person killed him and then faked it as a poison suicide?" ”

Qiao Yunsheng said with a little disappointment: "Why bother so much? If that's the case, wouldn't that be an extra move? I wonder what Lord Tang thinks? ”

As he spoke, everyone focused their eyes on Tang Jianqiu again.

Tang Jianqiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiao Yunsheng.

"I can't hide it, if not tens of thousands, of the cases I have handled, but this is the first time this kind of difficult case, let me think about it for a while."

Just when he was at a loss, Ah Fei had a whim that made the whole thing frown;

"If you want me to say, this murderer is like a rat that kills people, and our Jinyi Guard and the Criminal Department are like the cat that catches rats.

Even if the medicine is tasteless and placed in the dark, the rat is not so stupid, at first it eats, and if it eats one and dies, how can the rat eat it again? ”

"If I were to smell this harmful rat and run away."

Baihu, who had not spoken, pouted, and was amused by the other party's surprised brain hole.

Seeing this, Ah Fei suddenly became anxious, and was about to open his mouth to slap back, Tang Jianqiu's cold eyes changed, and he said angrily: "How can you use the metaphor of a mouse? ”

"If you want to poison a rat, why don't you crush that medicine and put it in a pie and let him eat a little bit every day, I don't believe it......"

"Wait! You just said to crush the drug and put it in the pie? ”

Tang Jianqiu and Qiao Yunsheng, who reacted, suddenly realized that they had a little frown about this case;

The hundreds of households on the side were also a little impressed by Ah Fei, "Ah Fei, it's okay!" I can't think of a bit of use at a critical moment. ”

"Hehe, thank you, Lord Baihu, Lord Baihu, are you praising me or am you hurting me?"

"It's not important, let's see what Master Tang says!"

Tang Jianqiu's eyes were glowing with cold light, cold to the bone, "It seems that the lead in the deceased's body should be lead sand, which accumulates in the stomach and becomes a lead lump when it is mixed with liquid, based on this, he must have been murdered!" ”

"That being the case, it should be investigated internally."
