Chen Pingzhang saw Jiang Wanning coming, and stepped forward: "Jiang Niangzi, there are dead people inside, it's unlucky, you better stay away." ”

Jiang Wanning pretended to be scared and surprised: "Really dead?" How so? Didn't they all ...... last night Is it arrogant? ”

"Who knows!" Maybe it's an eyes-opener.

"Which one died?"

"All dead." Chen Pingzhang smiled unconsciously, and felt that he was so gloating that he was a gentleman, so he had to cough to cover up his gaffe caused by being too happy.

Yu Niang still couldn't believe it, how arrogant and hateful these people were last night, she cursed them to die quickly before going to bed, and they really died.

She couldn't have cursed her to death, could she?

"How did you die?"

"I haven't come to a conclusion yet, but in my opinion, it was caused by a charcoal fire in a sealed house, with the doors and windows bolted."

Jiang Wanning said secretly: Sure enough, this is the way to die.

She had tried to seal their windows last night, but when she did, she found them closed, with footprints on the snow and a few marks on the ladder.

The imprints are new and have not been completely covered by the heavy snow.

So someone climbed a ladder before her and closed the window.

When the people inside were poisoned by the gas released by the carbon fire, he went in to create a confined space. Let everyone think that the people of Dayuan did not listen to persuasion, or drank too much and forgot to keep the inner room ventilated.

Who could this man be?

Jiang Wanning couldn't help but look at Yi Cheng, who was standing at the door of the Dayuan people's room, crying and sad, and looked at his shoes again.

Jiang Wanning said: "Lin Niangzi is a doctor, maybe she can find out the cause of death." ”

Chen Pingzhang suddenly said: "Yes, how did I forget Dr. Lin." Wait a little bit for me. ”

Chen Pingzhang went to find Ji Yunchen.

came back after a while: "Doctor Lin, the little county king asked you to help check the cause of death, let's see if it is convenient for you?" ”

Lin Ruoruo nodded and entered the dead man's room with Chen Pingzhang.

Jiang Wanning went downstairs to find Uncle Yang and them, and in the lobby downstairs, the officials were getting together to discuss this matter.

"It's good to die, God can't see it, and I'm going to take in these beasts."

"Luo Du's gang has done all the evil things, I heard that they are also in the business of human trafficking, and they have captured a lot of Daqi women and sold them to Dayuan for the enjoyment of Dayuan nobles."

"These Dayuan dogs have done all the evil things, I admire this murderer, who did what we wanted to do but didn't dare to do, and spoke out for our people."

"Yes, I also admire this man's courage, who is it? You say...... Could it be the last caravan to check in last night? They live next door to each other and have easy mobility. ”

"Don't jump to conclusions, if you want to be suspicious, the Daqi people in this building are all suspicious! Including you and me...... Let's see how the little county king breaks it! ”

Jiang Wanning's gaze casually swept over the shoes on their feet, and then walked out of the lobby as if nothing had happened.

Yang Xu and his men were feeding the horses and sorting out their bags.

"Uncle Yang."

"Little lady, I asked Xiao Pan to get food, you wait a while, there is a death at the post station, it's a mess, and no one is cooking."

"Uncle Yang, did you hear anything last night?"

Yang Xu shook his head: "No." ”

"Really?"

Yang Xu smiled: "Little lady, you don't care about this matter." ”

Jiang Wanning looked at Yang Xu suspiciously.

Yang Xu's smile gradually stiffened, and it seemed that the little lady seemed to suspect that he had done it.

The conscience of heaven and earth, he also wanted to kill those Dayuan people, but it was really not him who did it, he thought that it was better for the little lady to have a daughter's family and take care of these bad things, so he let her leave it alone.

Yang Xu looked left and right, and whispered: "It's not me, I didn't do anything, the original snoring of the people in Dayuan next door was earth-shattering, but around the fourth watch, the snoring was gone, it should be that time to die!" At the time, I thought it was strange, but I didn't care, I didn't care if they lived or died, it was better to die. ”

That's right......

Jiang Wanning said: "Uncle Yang, don't tidy things up yet, we won't be able to leave for a while." ”

"Huh? We didn't kill people, so why don't we let them go? ”

"There are more than a dozen people from Dayuan dead, and soon the people from the county government and the government will come over, and no one will be able to leave until the case is clarified."

Yang Xu was very displeased: "These people are damned, they are all dead, and they will delay our trip." ”

Jiang Wanning went to the place by the window to the west to take a look, the snow was full of messy footprints, which should have been left in the morning, even if there was any evidence, it was all destroyed.

Waiting for Jiang Wanning to sit in the room and drink the hot rice porridge sent by Xiao Pan, Chen Pingzhang and Lin Ruoruo came back.

"How?" Jiang Wanning motioned for them to sit, and asked Yu Niang to get them something to eat.

Lin Ruoruo said: "I have been dead for more than two hours, the lips of the deceased are cherry red, and several of them have vomited before they died, and there is vomit on the lips, whether this is a symptom of carbon fire poisoning I can't be sure, I haven't seen it." ”

Lin Ruoruo has never seen it, but Jiang Wanning has seen it, she saw a carbon fire poisoning incident when she was in Gubei, and a family of four who opened a grain and oil shop died of carbon fire poisoning.

At that time, she and her second brother happened to pass by, so they went to see it twice, and the deceased's symptoms were the same as what Lin Ruoruo said.

She also specially wrote a letter to tell Ji Yunchen, Gu Zhouzhu and Xiao Wang, that if they make a carbon fire in the house in winter, they must pay attention to ventilation.

As for the time of death, it is now Mao Zheng, and if you calculate it, it is exactly the fourth watch day that Uncle Yang said.

"What did His Royal Highness say?"

Chen Pingzhang said: "The preliminary judgment is that he died of carbon fire poisoning, he is inquiring one by one, the post man and the miscellaneous servants of the post station have already finished asking, and now they are asking those officials, and finally it is Yang Shopkeeper and them." ”

"Is that the end of the question, everyone is not suspicious, and we can leave?" Mama Wang asked, she didn't want to stay at this post station where so many people had died.

Chen Pingzhang sighed: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, Jiuli has already gone to the Dingzhou Mansion to report the news, and the Dingzhou Mansion has to report to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and the three divisions will have to come." ”

"Huh? When the three divisions come over, do they have to interrogate them one by one? Will it be tortured? Will it be bent into a trick and insist on finding a substitute for the dead ghost? Mama Wang was very worried.

Chen Pingzhang said with a smile: "Mama Wang, you didn't do it, what are you afraid of?" Don't worry, even if the people from the government come, no one will suspect the people in this room. ”

How can a house of weak women kill people?

Yu Niang brought hot rice porridge, two plates of side dishes, and a few steamed buns.

Jiang Wanning said: "It's a little simpler, Chen Langjun don't dislike it." ”

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's good to have something to eat." Chen Pingzhang said with a smile.

Jiang Wanning turned her head and instructed Yu Niang: "You send some food to His Royal Highness the County King." ”

Chen Pingzhang was embarrassed: "It's still Jiang Niangzi who is thoughtful." ”

He had already eaten it himself, and he didn't even think of getting Brother Yun Chen something to eat, hey...... His little brother is incompetent.

So he said: "Yu Niang, you are ready to eat, I'll deliver it, Jiuli has sent the news, His Royal Highness the King of the County has no help, I have to help." ”
