Chapter 8 How to Write Dead Words
Wu Dachuan brought a news of his death.
The deceased was the only daughter of an outsider in the town, who suddenly committed suicide by throwing herself into the river for some reason last night, and when she fished it out in the morning, the body was out of shape, and it was miserable.
After all, Yun Que is the work of the yamen, and since the county order has been ordered, it is difficult for him to ignore it.
Follow Wu Dachuan to North Street.
At the end of the street, by a well, there was a circle of officials.
The county order Ma Yong, the main book Niu Bucai is here.
There is also a rich middle-aged man, sitting on the ground crying and shouting.
On one side of the well, a large black cloth covered a corpse.
"O my daughter! How did you throw yourself into the well! You're gone, how can you live for your father! ”
Outside the staff cried bitterly, and the white-haired people sent the black-haired people.
Ma Yong and Niu Bucai constantly comforted the staff, and said all the good things, and they were very polite to this outsider.
Seeing that Yun Que had arrived, Ma Yong hurriedly said:
"Yun Que, you came just in time, hurry up and do an autopsy to see why the daughter of Xu Yuanwai's family threw herself into the river, whether it was caused by depression or a knot in her heart."
Yun Que rolled his eyes.
You find an excuse to decide the case directly, everyone is dead, and the gods can't tell whether it's depression or a knot.
No way, who will let you do this, Yun Que came to the black cloth and planned to start the autopsy.
Mu Qingyao always followed.
Yun Que grabbed the corner of the black cloth and reminded:
"The sunken corpse well overnight, although it can't reach the level of the giant view, but it will never be good-looking, are you sure you want to see it?"
Mu Qingyao nodded affirmatively, with a solemn expression.
Yun Que directly lifted the black cloth.
The moment she saw the corpse, Mu Qingyao's breathing stagnated for a moment, and she felt the urge to vomit.
Mu Qingyao closed her eyes and eased for a while, before she opened her eyes again, didn't dare to look at the corpse again, and fell on Yun Que.
As a work, Yun Que is professional.
After a brief look at the corpse, confirm that there were no injuries, and ask the official next to him:
"Which one will be caught first?"
"Feet! The foot that was fished out first, the corpse was upside down. A servant replied.
Yun Que turned to the outside of the staff again and asked, "Is your daughter crazy, what happened last night?" ”
"No wow! My daughter has always been normal, and last night she was quite happy to say that she wanted to knit me a wool shoulder, and she threw herself into the well after a while! Oh my daughter! Woowoo woo ......"
After asking two questions, Yun Que gave the autopsy results.
"He kills, murders."
A murder case stunned everyone around them.
Obviously committed suicide by jumping into a well, how did it become a murder?
The county ordered Ma Yong's face to become ugly.
If it's easy to commit suicide, you can appease Xu Yuanwai.
But if it is a murder case, it is the people of the yamen who are tossing.
You have to look for clues to find the murderer.
It's good to solve the case as soon as possible, if the murder case hangs for a long time, his performance as a county order will be greatly discounted.
The type of criminal prison is an important criterion for assessing the county order, and if the murder case accumulates too much, the county order will not be guaranteed!
Especially in this situation where the corpse is intact, it is difficult to convince the public that it is even inferred that it is a monster.
If evil is done, it will definitely hurt people.
How can there be demons who don't eat people, but they like to drag people into the water.
Niu Bucai didn't know a single big word, but he would observe words and looks, and when he found that the county magistrate's face was ugly, he knew that something bad was wrong, and hurriedly remedied:
"Yun Que, take a good look, is there a demon who has killed the daughter of the foreign family?"
When he said this, Niu Bucai vaguely measured a finger, representing one tael of silver.
"You can't be wrong, it's a homicide." Cloud lacks a way.
"If you look closely, I look like I've killed myself." Niu Bucai said and measured three fingers.
Yun Que could naturally see the other party's small movements, smiled, and said:
"Lord Niu don't have to bother, one yard is one yard, you add your toes, this case is also a homicide, someone committed a murder last night, and now he is at large."
Niu Bucai froze in place, speechless.
The little guy who has always been greedy for money is not interested in silver today.
Niu Bucai thinks that he understands Yun Que, but he doesn't know that Yun Que has his own bottom line.
Greed for money is greed for money, but there are some things, even if he gives him a mountain of gold and silver, he doesn't bother to take a look.
Mu Qingyao watched everything quietly.
Ma Yong's face became more and more ugly, and he glared at Niu Bucai.
Niu Bucai had no choice but to retort:
"Since it has to be determined as a homicide, then Yun is missing you to tell me, where is the evidence! The murderer doesn't even have a shadow, how can you judge that it is a murder! ”
Yun Que smiled and said, "It's very simple to prove it, please ask the master bookkeeper to sit by the well, and I will give you evidence." ”
Niu Bucai doesn't know why, why do you have to sit at the wellhead?
There was just a dead person in the well, and Niu Bucai didn't want to sit down, but with a look from the county order, he could only sit helplessly at the mouth of the well.
"From now on, all I'm talking about is hypothetical, if Lord Niu wants to use dim ssum, you will take it as a real thing."
Yun Que said something strange.
Niu Bucai said yes and sat down by the well.
"Your dad is dead." Cloud lacks a way.
"Huh? No, I went out for a walk this morning. Niu Bucai scratched his head and said.
"Suppose, Lord Niu, you should show the sadness you deserve." Cloud lacks a way.
Ma Yong reprimanded: "Just when your father died!" You can be what you want. ”
Niu Bucai said yes again and again, frowned and sighed, showing the sadness of his father's death.
"Your mother is dead." Cloud lacks a way.
Niu Bu thought about it for a while, and changed from frowning to a sad face, he is now a little into the play.
"Your wife is dead, too." Cloud lacks a way.
Niu Bucai's sad face instantly turned into a smile, and he laughed unconsciously, and then saw that all the people around him were looking at him, and immediately turned into a sad face.
"Your son is dead." Cloud lacks a way.
After Niu Bucai was stunned, he was silent, and he could see that he had become more sad.
"The good news is, you didn't give birth to it." Cloud lacks a way.
Niu Bucai's silence instantly turned into anger, and he frowned and glared.
"All your relatives are dead, you are the only one left, you have an incurable disease and only one day to live, and you will die when it gets dark." Cloud lacks a way.
Niu Bucai snorted and said, "So miserable? Why do I think you're cursing me? ”
"What will you do before dark?" Yun Que asked.
"On the last day to live, I must eat something good, play something good, say goodbye to my acquaintances, and then lie in bed and wait for death." Niu Bucai frowned.
"Do you want to jump into a well?" Cloud lacks a way.
"I don't want to! I'd rather die at home than in the well! Niu Bucai shook his head into a rattle.
Yun Que smiled and said: "Lord Niu is all over the house, and he is terminally ill, you don't want to throw yourself into the well if it's so miserable, the daughter of Chen Yuan's family has no worries about food and clothing, and lives a comfortable life, why did she go to the well." ”
She ...... I may not be able to think about it for a while. "Niu Bucai is weak-hearted.
"That's right, it's a possibility."
Yun Que pointed to the mouth of the well and said: "Since she can't think about it, why doesn't she think about it carefully by the well, if Lord Niu can't think of jumping into the well, will you sit on the side of the well and think about it again, or run out of the house and plunge into it?" ”
After Yun Que finished speaking, the people next to him all fell silent.
Chen Yuanwai said that his daughter was so dignified that night that she suddenly ran out of the house and threw herself into the well.
This is only possible unless it is hit hard.
But the woman who threw herself into the well obviously did not have an emotional blow.
Yun Que's voice sounded faintly:
"Jumping into a well to commit suicide, first of all, jump into it, throwing yourself into the river is different from throwing into a well, the wellhead is narrow, even if you commit suicide, no one will choose to go down the well first."
Since the corpse was fished up from the foot, it proved that it was a well with a big head down.
There is no need for clues, and this way of dying alone is strange.
That's why Yun Que concluded that it was a murder.
Last night, someone snatched Chen Yuanwai's daughter out of her home and stuffed her head down into the well!
The murder was confirmed, but unfortunately there was not the slightest clue.
The county commander Ma Yong broke out in a cold sweat and asked Chen Yuan if there were any clues of the murderer, but the other party didn't notice it and didn't see anyone robbing his daughter at all.
"This is a problem...... Wu Dachuan! You are the head catcher, and the official limits you to find the murderer within ten days! ”
Ma Yong poured his anger on the head catcher.
Wu Dachuan's face collapsed, so he had no choice but to accept the order.
There is no headless unsolved case, there are no clues, where to find the murderer.
Beside the well, there was a commotion.
The county order, the main book, the head catcher, the servant, the bitter master, a group of people are talking endlessly.
Mu Qingyao's gaze always fell on Yun Que.
The little county lord thought it was strange.
Yun Que had already experienced corpses, but at this moment, he was squatting alone next to the corpse, as if muttering something.
Due to the noisy voices around her, Mu Qingyao couldn't hear what Yun Que was saying.
But she could see the rare coldness in Yun Que's eyes.
"The world is chaotic enough, demons come to troubled times, and people also come to troubled times."
Yun Que stretched out his hand to close the corpse's eyes, looked at the swollen corpse and muttered:
"Before she came, you looked the best in the bath, but unfortunately you won't see it later, hey, there's one less hobby."
Covering the black cloth again, Yun Que slowly got up and held the knife with one hand.
The delicate face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
Yun Que said: "Do you want to solve this case?" ”
Mu Qingyao: "Killing people to pay off debts and paying back, Jin Kingdom, there is a royal law, I believe that good and evil are rewarded, but children are evil, women throw themselves into wells, behind these tricks is someone deliberately inciting the people to burn me, if you find the murderer, you have to face the people behind the scenes, you may be in danger." ”
Yun Que said: "The big man who wants your life will not come forward in such a small place, the guy hiding in the town is a minion at best, and the biggest danger is the closest place to the imperial city, two hundred taels of silver, not to the point where I will sell my life." ”
Mu Qingyao: "Although it is a minion, but this person is very insidious, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with, you can send me out of Zangshi Town, why take the risk to find the other party?" ”
Yun Que said: "People, you can steal your life, you can eat and wait for death, but you must live a thought to reach it, and I am not happy if you don't kill the murderer." ”
Mu Qingyao: "Thoughts...... Do you recognize the dead? ”
Yun Que said: "The old hunter who adopted me died in the second year, sometimes I come to the town to find it if I don't eat, Chen Yuanwai is the richest and the least angry, say more about giving half a bowl of porridge, or the kind of soup with a few grains of rice, his daughter will secretly stuff me with two steamed buns every time, in vain, the same as the one on Sister Xiu'er." ”
Yun Que was smiling, but the killing intent in his eyes was almost overflowing!
"So, I'm going to teach the murderer how to read and write." Cloud lacks a way.
"What word?" Mu Qing Yao said.
"Teach him how to write dead words!" The sound of the clouds is as cold as ice.
