Ping'an County Ya, morgue.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong, under the leadership of Zhang Meixian, walked to the door of the morgue.

It was still early in the morning, and the morgue was still well lit.

Zhang Meixian asked Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong to wait at the door, because he wanted to do a comprehensive examination of Liu Piaoxu's body.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong chatted outside the door for a while about the case, and soon, Zhang Meixian walked out with a package in her hand.

Song Ruilong took the package and said, "This package is from Liu Piaofu, right?" Is there anything missing? ”

Zhang Meixian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The deceased, Liu Piaoxu, died for nearly half a year, five months and fifteen days to be exact. She had no fatal injuries on her body and had not been ravaged before she died. There was a large amount of arsenic in the stomach, the eyelids were black, and the lips were purple, which was obviously poisoned to death. ”

Song Ruilong listened to Zhang Meixian speak, and had already untied the package of Liu Piaofu on the ground.

The contents of the package were all worn with you, except for a few changes of underwear, there were no other large pieces of clothing. There was also a letter of resignation in the package, a hundred taels of silver.

After Song Ruilong read the letter of resignation, he felt that there was no doubt, so he handed the letter of resignation to Su Xianrong.

Song Ruilong took the one hundred taels of silver in his hand and looked at it carefully, as if he was looking for some treasure.

Su Xianrong looked at Song Ruilong with some curiosity and said, "Brother Song, do you think there will be clues on this silver?"

Song Ruilong said: "I don't know, but I have a hunch that if Liu Piaoxu didn't really commit suicide, he would definitely leave some clues."

Zhang Meixian said helplessly: "Long'er, what did you find?"

Song Ruilong suddenly looked at the side of a silver ingot worth fifty taels very seriously, and said, "What kind of word does this seem to be."

"I'll see!" Su Xianrong took the ingot of silver in his hand, let the side with the word, face the sun, and said, "It seems to be a 'Hu' character."

Zhang Meixian said strangely: "The word 'Hu', it seems normal to have this word on the silver!" Maybe someone carved it into the silver to play. ”

After Song Ruilong read it carefully, after confirming that it was the word 'Hu', he said: "If this word is the news that Liu Piaoxu revealed to us before he died, then this word can be said to be heavier than a daughter."

After Su Xianrong observed the word 'Hu' again, he said: "This character seems to be carved with an embroidery needle, it is very small, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all."

Song Ruilong saw Zhang Meixian's hand shake a few times in front of his eyes, and when he was about to push Zhang Meixian's hand away, he saw a very thin embroidery needle.

Zhang Meixian said: "The embroidery needle you are talking about, is it this one?"

Song Ruilong took the embroidery needle and said excitedly: "That's right, it's this one." If there is no embroidery needle, I am not sure that the word 'Hu' on the ingot silver is carved out of willow fluttering, with this embroidery needle, I am more certain that the word 'Hu' is carved out of willow fluttering. ”

Su Xianrong picked up another ingot of fifty taels of silver, and after looking at it carefully, he shook his head and said, "There is not a word on this ingot of silver."

After Song Ruilong also confirmed, he said: "It seems that it is not easy to engrave the word Liu Piaoxi."

"How?" Su Xianrong asked in surprise.

Song Ruilong said slowly: "In terms of the strength of this word, the needle is only lightly drawn on it, and from the neatness of the word, the word is not engraved on the front, it seems that Liu Piaoxu drew it in the dark with his own memory."

Su Xianrong nodded and said, "It makes sense, but why did Liu Piaoxu only write one word?"

Song Ruilong thought for a while and said: "I think Liu Piaoxu must have written this word in a very special environment, her situation is very dangerous, although she is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that her news will not be delivered, so she is very careful." When she wrote the word 'hu', the person was already aware of it, so she didn't have time to write the second word at all. Another point, maybe Liu Piaoxu had time to write, but she was afraid that those words would be noticed, so she wrote one. ”

Zhang Meixian hesitated: "According to what you say, why is Liu Piaofu writing on silver, isn't it more dangerous?" If that man had taken the money, wouldn't her hard work have been in vain? ”

Song Ruilong shook his head and said, "This also reflects Miss Liu's intelligence. ”

Zhang Meixian's eyes flashed twice and said, "What kind of intelligence?" I think she's a fool, and it's the most unsafe to engrave words into silver. If the one hundred taels of silver were taken away by someone in the inn, her good intentions would be in vain. Still smart? Clever fart! ”

Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "My mother, if you think about it carefully, you will understand the truth." If Miss Liu really committed suicide, then there must be no one around her, so there is no need for her to write this 'Hu', the word, but if Miss Liu has been watching her by someone who wants her to die, who do you think the hundred taels of silver will fall into? ”

Zhang Meixian felt that this matter was very complicated, and said, "How do I know about this?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "If things are really as Brother Song said, Miss Liu doesn't have to worry about losing her silver at all." First of all, this willow fluttering is dead in the Yuexiang Inn, the people of the Yuexiang Inn will definitely report to the official, and when the people from the government come, take the case, it will naturally be strictly checked, if a hundred taels of silver are lost, then, the government will take this matter as a name, a thorough investigation of the death of Liu Piaofu, maybe there will be a problem, so this is the result that the murderer is most unwilling to see, compared to giving up a hundred taels of silver, and ending up a quiet, how much benefit is this? ”

"Oh." Zhang Meixian seemed to understand Su Xianrong's words, and said, "However, if the one hundred taels of silver are privately swallowed by the county magistrate, then won't this Miss Liu's hard work be wasted?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "If Brother Song really swallowed the one hundred taels of silver privately, maybe he would find the handwriting on it when he played with it." This is also part of Miss Liu's gamble. ”

Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "I took this case at that time?" ”

Zhang Meixian said: "Of course it's you, you've been in office in Ping'an County for almost a year, if you hadn't been in a coma for more than a month, how could you not remember this case?" ”

Song Ruilong smiled bitterly: "Hey, I'm really a fool, why don't I have any impression of what happened before?" ”

Su Xianrong said: "I think Brother Song's current situation is very good, why go back to the past?" Don't think about it, none of us blame you. ”
