"Brother Xuan, what did you say ......?"

Lu Xiaoliu was also speechless and said: "Although Sister Qian is usually a little tiger, she will not cut people's wives in broad daylight." ”

As he spoke, he muttered, "What's the matter, you have to wait until it gets dark, right?" ”

Song Xuan slapped him on the shoulder, "Less hippie smiling face, get down to business!" ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Lu Xiaoliu calmed down a little at the moment, and said, "It's just that a few people went out to go out and found a hanged woman in a small forest.

The three of them reported the case at the local county office, and now they are staying in the county government office to wait for the result. ”

"Nothing happened, did it?"

Song Xuan asked so casually, Song Qian is a second-class Xuanyiwei, and Lu Xiaoliu's second sister Lu Qingshuang, although she has not joined the ranks of Xuanyiwei, she has also practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her martial arts are not weak.

With these two people here, there are things that are also things for others, and it is not their turn.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that your little cousin was a little frightened when she saw the dead."

Song Xuan nodded, walked out of the yamen and got on the horse, and under the guidance of Lu Xiaoliu, he rushed towards Ping'an County outside the city.

......

Song Xuan was wearing a Xuanyi robe, and the arresters at the Yamen of Ping'an County did not dare to stop him, so he stepped forward to receive him very diligently and led him outside the Yamen Court.

In the court, the Ping'an County Order was trying the case, Song Qian sat on the side and watched the trial process with interest, and beside her, stood Lin Daiyu and Lu Qingshuang, two good girlfriends.

Seeing Song Xuan coming in, Song Qian shouted out happily.

Lin Daiyu also hurriedly saluted, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Cousin! ”

It was Lu Qingshuang, when she looked at Song Xuan, there was a little resentment on her soft face, and she didn't make a sound, but just nodded slightly.

If he was an ordinary person and dared to enter the county government hall without authorization to disturb the order of the court, he would have been arrested by the order of the county magistrate.

But the Ping'an county magistrate in the court, after seeing Song Xuan's dark black official uniform, looked only slightly stunned, and then got up with a smile on his face and bowed to Song Xuan.

"Lord Song!"

Song Xuan returned the salute and said with a smile: "I'm causing trouble to Lord Chen!" ”

The name of Ping'an County is Chen Huaili, as the county order of Ping'an County outside the imperial capital, Song Xuan has dealt with the other party several times, but it is not a stranger.

"No trouble!"

Chen Huaili smiled kindly: "Thank you Lord Song Qian this time, if she hadn't found it early, and waited for the body to decompose in a few days, I'm afraid this case would have been even more difficult to investigate." ”

As he spoke, he said in a low voice, "I wonder if Lord Song can go to the back hall to talk about it?" ”

Song Xuan did not refuse, glanced at Song Qian and the others, and followed Chen Huaili into the back hall.

"Lord Song....."

As soon as he entered the back hall, Chen Huaili was a little embarrassed: "My lord, look, can you take Sister Ling back first?" She's here, and the lower officials won't handle the case. ”

Song Xuan didn't give a direct reply, but said with a smile: "Please tell me more carefully, what is going on in this case?" ”

Involving a homicide case in the jurisdiction of Ping'an County, it stands to reason that even if the case is to be reported, Ping'an County will also report it to the Criminal Department.

But Xuan Yiwei is a privileged institution, almost as long as they are willing, all the cases in the Great Zhou can be managed, Song Xuan wants to understand the case, and Chen Huaili does not dare to stop it.

"The deceased is the wife of Shen Yuanwai in Ping'an County.

According to the Shen family's family Ding and the maid, Shen Yuanwai and his wife had a quarrel last night, and they were found hanged in the woods on the outskirts this morning. ”

Song Xuan said: "In this way, Shen Yuanwai is very suspicious. ”

"There is indeed a suspicion." Chen Huaili sighed: "But there can only be this suspicion." According to the Shen family's family and the maid, after the Shen Yuanwai husband and wife quarreled last night, he went out of the house angrily.

And Shen Yuanwai also confessed, after he left home, he went to his friend's house to drink and stayed there.

His friend can testify to this, and it can be regarded as evidence of alibi. ”

Song Xuan smiled, "Then Lord Chen thinks this case is a murder or a suicide?" ”

"I think it's suicide!"

Chen Huaili analyzed: "According to the Shen family's family and the maid, when they quarreled last night, Shen Yuanwai's wife cried and made trouble, shouting that she was not alive, and the entire Shen family heard this.

When Shen Yuanwai left home, he also yelled, telling her to die outside, not at home.

The official estimated that Mrs. Shen should be angry, so she didn't think about it for a while, so she went to the suburbs and hanged herself. ”

Song Xuan asked, "Have you experienced the corpse?" ”

"I have already experienced it, there are no traces of binding or beating on my body, and there are no obvious signs of struggle before my death, so I can basically rule out the possibility of being murdered."

"So Master Chen thinks this is a simple suicide case?"

"This official thinks so, but Lord Song, your sister didn't say that Mrs. Shen was killed, and she had to stay in the court to watch me solve the case.

Isn't that embarrassing me, you say? ”

Song Xuan smiled, "Although Song Qian is usually a little rude, she has never been untrustworthy in homicide cases, since she thinks it is murder, I think there is some basis, so I will call her and ask." ”

Soon, Song Qian was called to the back hall.

"Tell me, why do you think that Mrs. Shen was killed?"

Song Qian said: "Brother, have you ever hanged yourself?" ”

Song Xuan glared at her, "What's the matter, you've been on it?" ”

Song Qian snorted, "Just today, in the woods where the body was found, I tried to hang myself. Then it was found that before committing suicide and dying at the end of the day, people would instinctively struggle desperately, and the rope would rub violently on the trunk of the tree, leaving obvious friction marks.

And the crooked-necked tree that Mrs. Shen hanged herself on had no traces of friction at all.

This also means that Mrs. Shen did not commit suicide at all, but was killed and hung on a tree, making the illusion of hanging herself! ”

"Nonsense!"

Song Xuan scolded, "Investigate the case, that's a matter of the county order, can you risk your life?!" ”

Song Qian shrank back and whispered, "I just want to learn more." Last time I went to Huai'an County to handle the case, I didn't help much, I want to learn more experience in handling cases, I don't want to hold you back. ”

Song Xuan stared at her sternly for a long time before he sighed: "If there is anything you don't understand in the future, you can ask me, don't risk your life like this again, remember!" ”

"Got it, got it!"

Song Qian exhaled lightly, "If you don't take it as an example, you won't do it again!" ”

Saying that, she pushed Chen Huaili, "Lord Chen, your level of case judgment needs to be improved, a case where human life is at stake, you have to be recognized as suicide with a simple sentence, could it be that you received the black money of the Shen family?" ”
