Maggie's bedroom.

Lin Zhenying, who was dressed in gray clothes, was half-kneeling on the bed and bowing his head to check the corpse lying on the bed, lightly and cautiously for fear of moving the corpse for half a minute.

Cui Geng lifted the curtain and entered the bedroom, close to the bed, and silently looked at Mei Ji's face, speechless for a long time.

This is the first time Cui Geng has seen people who have died unnaturally up close. At this time, Mei Ji's face was slightly blue-black, her mouth was covered with a stain of blood that had long dried up, her lips were purple, and her eyes were closed, but Cui Geng was not afraid at all. Because the contours of the other party's facial features are no different from usual, there is no imagined hideousness, and the death is terrifying.

But what made him curious was that the Mei Ji he had seen in the past was all wearing heavy makeup, but this time she was plain and did not apply a little powder, according to Cui Geng's inference, it should be because she took off her makeup before going to bed.

"Lord County Lieutenant is so bold, this should be the first time I've seen a dead person, right?" Lin Zhenying continued to half-kneel on the bed, gently pinching the arm of the deceased Mei Ji, and turned his head slightly to look at Cui Geng.

Cui Geng smiled and said, "When my father died, I still wore a shroud for his old man, how much difference can there be between the living and the dead?" It's just that one is still panting, and the other is no longer panting. ”

Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and explained far-fetchedly, he couldn't say that he hadn't seen anything in that ridiculous dream? Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, slaughtered and buried alive, in comparison, these are just pediatrics in front of them.

Lin Zhenying sighed, turned her head again without saying anything, and continued to pinch Mei Ji's legs with her hands, moving gently and slowly, as if she was afraid of pinching it.

Cui Geng didn't bother him, after all, for the work of inspecting the body, Rao was not as professional as Uncle Ying.

After about a while, Uncle Ying stopped what he was doing, and then said in a low voice, "The cause of this woman's death can be generally concluded. ”

Cui Gengdao: "Suicide or homicide?" ”

"Death doesn't lie, the possibility of this woman committing suicide is not established at all!" Uncle Ying turned his head to look at Cui Geng and said, "Judging from the experience of the old man over the years, nine out of ten belong to him, and the murderer should be a man, a man who hates this woman to the core!" ”

Oh?

Cui Geng suddenly cheered up and asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Uncle Ying said: "The rest of this woman's body is intact, except for the fracture on her right arm. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Ying rolled up the sleeve on Mei Ji's right arm, and sure enough, a loose bruise was obvious.

Cui Geng combined the crooked stools outside the bedroom, which should have been caused by pushing and fighting.

"Of course, the real cause of death was not a fractured right arm," Uncle Ying added, "but the neck...... The county lieutenant and take a closer look. ”

Cui Geng took another step closer to the edge of the bed, and Uncle Ying pointed to the position of Mei Ji's neck, and said, "The neck strangulation marks have turned purple, and they are pinched with one hand." ”

While speaking, Uncle Ying gestured with his hand to pinch people with one hand, and said: "The deceased should have fought with people outside the bedroom first, and then was forcibly pushed into the bedroom by the other party, and then pinched his neck and fell on the bed, strangled to death!" Why do you say that it is a man, the first is this pinch-like strangulation mark, it should be a man's hand, and ordinary women do not have such long five fingers. Second, I have examined that the throat bone of the deceased was completely crushed. ”

Crushing your throat?

Cui Geng couldn't help but shudder, and said secretly, who has such a deep hatred with Mei Ji, so much so that he wants to crush her throat and strangle her to death?

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Are there any other discoveries?" ”

Uncle Ying said: "I searched this small mansion and various rooms just now, and almost all the gold and silver were gone, and even the gold hairpins and silver hairpins that the deceased unloaded before going to bed last night were all gone. ”

"Is it murder for money?"

Cui Geng thought to himself, and then asked, "Then did she die at night?" ”

Uncle Ying said: "The corpse spots of the deceased are mainly concentrated on the back and waist, and they have not yet reached the diffusion stage, so it is generally judged that they should have been dead for about three hours, and this bed is the first scene of death, and it has not been moved since death." ”

This can be deduced in such detail from a preliminary examination of the body at the scene? It's even accurate to the hour of death.

This Uncle Ying is completely comparable to the forensic doctors of the later generations he saw in his dream, but he has seen those forensic doctors in the dream use the Rausch instrument to measure the liver temperature, and finally deduce the time of death. Now that Uncle Ying can come up with so much useful data with just one pair of hands and a pair of naked eyes, Cui Geng simply admires it more.

Since Maggie had been dead for three hours, and it was almost the end of the hour, the time of death should have been around the beginning of the year, that is, between two and three o'clock in the middle of the night.

In this way, at that time period, Song Wen should have time to commit crimes.

Immediately, he asked Uncle Ying again: "Could it be an acquaintance who committed the crime?" ”

"Huh?"

Uncle Ying glanced at Cui Geng in surprise and asked, "How did the county lieutenant deduce?" ”

Cui Geng was stunned, he couldn't say that he was imagining Song Wen, guessed, right?

"That's what my subordinates think too."

Fortunately, Uncle Ying did not ask Cui Geng to the end, but said his thoughts: "The subordinates also feel like acquaintances committing crimes, because the catchers also checked the surrounding courtyard walls in the morning, and there were no traces of climbing." The maid Hongxing also said that she had bolted the courtyard door before going to bed last night, and this morning when she found out that her master had died tragically and ran out of the courtyard, the courtyard door was open. The subordinates guessed that it should be that the maid fell asleep last night, and then someone came to knock on the courtyard door, and it happened that the deceased was woken up, so he went to open the courtyard door himself and let the person into the courtyard. Come to think of it, if it weren't for an acquaintance, how could she let the other party in in the middle of the night? ”

"The analysis makes a lot of sense."

Cui Geng nodded and added: "And this acquaintance is quite familiar with the deceased, otherwise, even if he is familiar, it is impossible for a woman's family to let that person in in the middle of the night, right?" ”

Cui Geng's answer is already coming out, this person must be Song Wen! Because now, who else can make Mei Ji extremely trust the man who lets the other party into the house in the middle of the night, except for Song Wen?

Uncle Ying also snorted, as if agreeing with Cui Geng's statement. As for the follow-up of the case handling and investigation of the murderer, it was not something he had to do, and he immediately stopped expressing any opinions.

I saw him slowly climb down from the bed and said, "For the sake of safety, my subordinates will take the body of the deceased back to the room and examine it again carefully." After all, there are many people here, and it is inconvenient to conduct further inquests on the deceased. ”

Further inquest is nothing more than a more detailed examination, such as whether there are any injuries on the genitals and whether they have been insulted; There are also some hidden areas that need to be undressed and so on.

At this time, the scene was full of people, and if this kind of hidden part was examined again, it would obviously be disrespectful to the deceased.

Cui Geng naturally knew the rules, waved his hand and said please, and walked out of the bedroom.

When he came to the courtyard, he left a few catchers to continue to do on-site investigation to see if he could find some more valuable clues.

As for himself, he returned to the county government with a few arresters.

He felt that it was necessary to interrogate Song Wen now, according to the inferences that Uncle Ying had just drawn through the preliminary autopsy, there was an eighty percent chance that the murderer was Song Wen.

When he returned to the county office, as soon as he entered the courtyard of the hall, he saw a messenger who was standing on duty and said to him: "County Lieutenant Cui, the county lord has an order, once you are found to return to the county office, you will be sent to the second hall to discuss matters." ”

Cui Geng sighed, it seems that Hu Zeyi also attaches great importance to this murder case.

Without much delay, he walked through the lobby and went straight into the second hall.

In the second hall, Hu Zeyi sat at the head of the hall with an unhappy face, and the first seat at the head was Chen Ziang.

As soon as the groundbreaking ceremony was over, the county magistrate and the county magistrate returned to the county government to wait for him in the second hall, obviously eager to know the inside story of this murder.

As soon as Cui Gengfu sat down, he didn't even take a sip of the tea soup, so he explained all the inferences drawn from Uncle Ying in detail, and finally suggested to Hu Zeyi with a very resolute attitude: "Lord County, the lower officials feel that it is necessary to interrogate Song Wen now. ”

Hu Zeyi tugged at his fingers, and his eyes were quite complicated: "The murderer is a man, and he is also an acquaintance that the deceased particularly trusts, is it really Song Wen?" Ahem......"

Hu Zeyi coughed twice, looked at Chen Ziang and Cui Geng with a resolute face, and said loudly: "Two, although Song Wen was promoted by this official, and he is also a staff member who has followed this official for many years, but the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone Song Wenhu?" Moreover, this person's personal morality is dirty, and he has committed such a big crime this time, this official will kill his relatives today, and will never cover up, let alone protect it. In fact, this official saw that Song Wen's thief was not right in the morning, and he wanted to dismiss him from the county government for a long time, but unfortunately, he was still one step too late, and the woman Mei Ji lost her life! ”

The words were righteous and awe-inspiring, as if Song Wen had done all those pickled things on weekdays, he didn't know anything about it, and he had been kept in the dark all the time.

Cui Geng glanced at him, secretly disdainful and at the same time, he also mourned for Song Wen. On this kind of inhumane Dong Weng, who even kicked his subordinates away in order to protect himself, Song Wen can be regarded as blind.

"Then will Song Wen be interrogated now?" Cui Geng asked.

"Ti, it must be arraigned!"

Hu Zeyi took the case and shouted solemnly: "The trial is one day earlier, the one day sooner I will be given justice to the deceased, and I will also be given a bright future in Qingyuan County!" ”

Truly Nyima can be loaded!

Cui Geng once again despised the county actor.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Chen Ziang stood up and said, "The official is thinking, what is Song Wen's motive for committing the crime?" ”

After that, he glanced at Cui Geng meaningfully, then turned to Hu Zeyi and said, "Hu County Order, since Song Wen rented a mansion outside to keep Mei Ji in captivity as an outer room, then why did he want to kill her?" And just now, when the county lieutenant Cui didn't come, you said that he wanted Mei Ji back from the Putian County Ya, but he begged you to mediate. Why, then, did he kill her for no reason? So—"

"Report!"

Before Chen Ziang could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by an errand officer.

The errand officer entered the second hall, bowed down and hugged his fists and said: "Lord County Commander, Song Wen is shouting injustice in the arrest room, and he also said that the murderer of Mei Ji is not him, but his wife Song!" ”

Rise?

Which one is this?

Hu Zeyi was stunned, and Chen Ziang was silent.

And Cui Geng shook his head and sighed secretly, it seems that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, the proprietor Hu Zeyi can give up Song Wen who is relying on him at any time, and Song Wen can also frame and betray his wife who shares the same bed at any time in order to protect himself.

Song Wen's wife is a murderer?

Cui Geng thinks it's a little impossible to think about it, it seems that this Song Wen and Hu Zeyi are really good guests and hosts in the Tang Dynasty, they are all goods that gather like things!
