Chapter 20: Investigation of the case

Although the official seal is not fake, Liu Qiaoyun still feels that Meng Tingxuan's appearance is too abrupt and a little unconvincing.

"Lord Zhixian, you are not sitting in the county office, why did you appear in the Nanshan Inn in this dress?"

"It seems that the young lady still has doubts about Zaixia's identity, let's talk while walking!" Meng Tingxuan walked out of the inn gate first, rushing towards the murder scene that was watched by everyone, and at the same time answering Liu Qiaoyun's question.

It turned out that Meng Tingxuan was indeed the magistrate of Ziyang County, but he had just arrived, and he had been in this position for less than half a year. If you want a henchman without a henchman, if you want to have prestige without prestige, it can be said that the decree does not come out of the lobby, and no one treats him as a dish.

Just like the Kou Sanniang case three months ago, he sent two officials to Juliu Town to inquire about the situation, along with the clues. But to this day, Wang Dabiao and Ma Liuer have not returned to restore their lives, which shows his status as a county commander.

Not only did he have no clue about the murder investigation, but he also failed to collect all the taxes and money for the whole year, such as the taxes of ordinary people's families were paid on time. However, none of the wealthy families and merchants' families in the county consciously paid the taxes and silver, and seeing that it was time to pay the taxes and silver, Meng Tingxuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

However, there was no one available to him, and even the officials in the county did not listen to him, and no one was willing to buy his account.

Thinking about it, there is nothing to do. In the end, Meng Tingxuan still decided to start with the Kou Sanniang case in Juliu Town, after all, the Kou family is also a big family, if he can personally solve this case, if he wants to recover some of the tax money from the Kou family, there will be no problem.

It's a pity that he still thinks things too simply, and the case has been lost for months, and there are no other clues to use except for a black eagle pattern in the cabin. Moreover, the suspect corresponding to the Black Eagle is a person in the rivers and lakes, and he is even more of a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to put his teeth.

If there is another case in the town today, and the black eagle pattern is reproduced at the scene, does it mean that the two cases are done together and there is a possibility of detection?

Liu Qiaoyun didn't expect that there were so many twists and turns, but what puzzled her was that Kou Sanniang was dead, so who was the woman selling tea next to the official road?

"My brother Liu Xi and I are from Qingxi Town, Nanling County, but we are not the eagle thieves, you must be aware of Mengzhi County and return my brother's innocence!"

"Miss, don't worry, I will never wronged a good person. Meng Tingxuan swore an oath, took out the county seal, and walked into the scene of the crime.

In fact, the scene is very simple, a woman with a pair of scissors in her chest, lying on the ground, blood flowing out, staining a large area of the ground. There was a black eagle on the wall, but there was nothing else to do.

Meng Tingxuan pulled out the scissors, carefully compared the wound, and then said slowly: "Experience, the scissors go straight through the heart and are completely consistent with the wound." The wound is indeed fatal, and the scissors are the murder weapon. Judging from the depth and inclination of the scissor entrance, it should be considered suicide. ”

After some inspection, it can be seen that this Meng Tingxuan is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag, and he still has a certain ability. It's just that in Ziyang County, where the evil gods are haunted, it is difficult for his skills to come in handy, and the person who dies by spell is not so easy to find out. Even if you find out, you won't be able to catch the murderer.

"Lord Zhixian, the two official brothers have already said just now that this woman was coerced by thieves. Otherwise, why would a young woman die if she lived a good life? You see that the woman's clothes are torn apart, this is not an attempt to commit adultery, what else can it be?"

"This brother is right, he must kill that traitor and avenge this poor woman!"

“······”

With the conclusive judgment of a bystander, the onlookers can be said to be excited, gritting their teeth one by one, eager to peel Liu Yanchang and crush his bones, which can be regarded as a solution to the hatred in their hearts.

After Meng Tingxuan was robbed by passers-by for a while, his weaknesses were immediately exposed, and he couldn't use his official authority to stop this field at all.

Liu Qiaoyun was so anxious that she was really afraid that Meng Tingxuan would be influenced by these people, so she also decided that Liu Yanchang was the murderer. It's just that if you want to whitewash Liu Yanchang, you need to find flaws and overturn the judgment of the person just now.

Liu Qiaoyun watched the scene for a long time, and finally locked his eyes on the woman, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pinched his waist and shouted angrily: "Shut up for me!"

This sound was like a lion's roar in Hedong, and she took out her domineering spirit at that time, and everyone saw that she came with Meng Tingxuan, and they couldn't figure out her identity. So no one dared to refute, and the scene was quiet.

Meng Tingxuan was even more half-squatting on the ground, looking up at Liu Qiaoyun, in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Liu Qiaoyun saw that these people were quiet, and still said unrelentingly: "You people can see the surface with your eyes, and then speculate and spread rumors. Why don't you let Meng Zhixian go back to the inn to rest, and let you investigate the case?"

The man before was immediately dissatisfied, and hurriedly jumped out and said, "Who are you girl? You said that what we said was a rumor and could not be believed, so what do you see from it?"

"In addition to what you see, I naturally see other things, such as ······" When Liu Qiaoyun said this, he suddenly stopped abruptly and looked at Meng Tingxuan. After all, this is his territory, and no one knows the county's consent, so it's naturally hard to say much.

Meng Tingxuan was also very curious, and hurriedly said, "Miss, please speak, what do you see?"

Liu Qiaoyun's goal was achieved, and then he continued: "Look at this girl's face, calm and serene, there is no expression at all. Just ask, if a woman who is about to be raped is going to commit suicide with a knife, doesn't she even have a little shame, sadness, and a sad expression?"

The passers-by outside the house still wanted to argue: "It's all a dead person, how can you have many expressions, I don't know what your relationship is with that thief, and you want to excuse him like this?"

However, Meng Tingxuan didn't let him continue, took a closer look, nodded his head and said, "What Miss said is extremely true, even if a person dies, her expression when she dies will definitely be frozen on her face. The official deliberately examined the woman's eyes just now, and there was neither fear nor anger in the pupils, and there was a little abnormality in the calmness, which was indeed a big suspicion. Secondly, there is also the black eagle pattern on this wall, which is not the same as the one that this official saw at the scene of Kou Sanniang's crime before. Now let's protect the scene first, let the people of Juliu Town come to identify the body, and find out the identity of this woman!"

Liu Qiaoyun was overjoyed, his efforts were not in vain, as long as he found more evidence, he would be able to clear Liu Yanchang's innocence.

It's just that although Meng Tingxuan is a magistrate, he is a single person, and there is no one available. For the sake of Liu Yanchang's innocence, Bai Biao had no choice but to volunteer, took on the duty of the official to arrest quickly, collected the woman's body, and waited for others to come to claim it.
