Chapter 328
Calculated according to the time when the fire started, the burning time of the corpse was actually not too long, but perhaps it was related to the kerosene, the surface of the corpse burned a little too thoroughly.

Naturally, there was no need to look at the clothes, almost all of them were burned, and the only remaining ones were completely bonded to the skin, blending into one black lacquer.

The clerk took a bamboo clip and carefully opened the skirt of the corpse's neck, and took off the pieces of blackened fabric piece by piece. Sure enough, he saw a copper coin at the collarbone of the corpse.

The red string has been completely burnt, and no trace can be seen; the copper coin is still flame-resistant, and almost maintains its original appearance, but the writing on it is somewhat blurred for some reason.

The middle-aged secretary couldn't see the content of the handwriting clearly for a while, but he didn't care, just nodded and said:
"Since there are medicine bottles and copper coins, it seems that this person is the person you mentioned."

As he spoke, the middle-aged clerk took the pen and ink from the book again and asked, "The name of the deceased, where is he from?"

"My name is Jin Zhaodong, I live here"

Judging from words and deeds, this document is not a professional work, nor is it a criminal investigation, it can only make some simple records.

Although the accompanying yamen servant looked quite young, he was not an expert in this field. He helped the clerk to check the corpse, and then began to search on the spot.

The work attitude of the yamen servant is good, very serious, but he didn't notice the details that should be paid attention to, he just went through the motions.

Afterwards, the middle-aged clerk went back first, and the yamen servant was left to guard the scene.

After all, it was a human life, and it was impossible to see whether it was an accident or man-made.

Naturally, even if it can be seen, a matter of human life is not something that can be closed by a mere government office. According to the procedure, it must be reported to the government office for the government officials to decide.

As soon as the documents left, the people who were still staying to watch the fun also dispersed, leaving behind the Hongwentang gang, who didn't know what to do for a while.

But since the scene has been blocked, these people can't go in naturally.I can only stay in the yard outside and wait for the results.

Gu Qi felt that the whole scene, including the corpse, was weird, and the time happened to be on the day of the seven-day appointment, so it was hard to prevent Gu Qi from suspecting that Jin Zhaodong planned all of this on purpose.

If Jin Zhaodong did it on purpose, what was his purpose?

It is obviously impossible to let oneself transcend the flying dust, the most likely is to use the corpse to revive the soul.

It was inconvenient to attract attention at this time, Gu Qishun quietly left Mazi Alley along with the crowd watching the excitement, and did not stop at Liuxing Street, but went straight back to Hexiang Street.

Gu Qi was [-]% suspicious that the corpse did not belong to Jin Zhaodong, but he had never been in close contact with it, so he couldn't draw an absolute conclusion for a while.

At this moment, the rest of Hongwentang's staff were in the house, and the government servants also stayed by the corpse. It was a bit difficult to get close to the corpse to check and confirm, so we had to find another way.
-
"Master Qi, what happened?" Shunzi was a little surprised to see Gu Qi frowning.

"On the other side of Mazi Lane, a house is flooded."

"Mazi Lane, isn't that just behind Liuxing Street?" Shunzi asked in surprise, "How can there be water in that place? Did someone have an accident?"

Gu Qi nodded, fixed his gaze on Shunzi's face for a long time, and said, "One person died, and the deceased was Jin Zhaodong."

"what!"

Shunzi was so startled that he couldn't control the volume of his voice for a moment, but after realizing that he was overreacting, he subconsciously covered his mouth, and asked carefully after a long while: "Are you sure it's Jin Zhaodong?

Isn't he the head of Hongwentang in Lushan County?How could he die in the mansion well, or be burned to death. "

"You also think this matter is strange?" Gu Qi asked.

Shunzi was a little dazed: "I just feel a little strange. During this period of time in Lushan County, the brothers have seen Hongwentang's demeanor, and naturally they have heard about Jin Zhaodong's deeds.

I heard that he was a ruthless character, so why did he die suddenly?Besides, it has rained several times in a row in recent days, and it is not considered dry. Why does the good one leak water? "

"It's not an accident." Gu Qi frowned: "The main house smells strongly of kerosene."

"This is even more strange. Hongwentang is almost a tyrant in Lushan County. No one competes with them. Even the people in the government have to avoid their people to do things. Who would suddenly kill the leader of Hongwentang. "

Gu Qi reached out and took the kettle on the side, poured it and poured it into it in one gulp. He was silent for a moment and said, "How many brothers do we have staying in the county?"

"A few days ago, some returned to Luoshan Village, and now there are 47 people staying in the city to work." Shunzi replied.

"Wait until you inform me, everyone will gather at the Four Seas Escort Office tomorrow morning, and everyone must come."

Shunzi worried after hearing the words: "Could it be that Jin Zhaodong's death will involve us?"

Gu Qi shook his head: "It's hard to say now, first call someone back to avoid the limelight, and wait for the government to come out with a result."

"Yes." Shunzi replied.
-
Let's talk about Gu Qi's inexplicable irritability because of Jin Zhaodong's affairs.

On the other side, Liu Shouzheng, who had just received a report from the Chengnan District Office, was stunned when he heard the news of Jin Zhaodong's death.

After the subordinates retreated, he turned around and asked Lin Guanjia: "Do you think there is any problem with this matter?"

Lin Butler also had a puzzled expression on his face: "How could it be such a coincidence that he suddenly passed away today.

There were a lot of things going on today, and most of the yamen's staff stayed in the north of the city to help deal with the distribution of grain seeds.Even the guards from the various districts have been temporarily transferred here today.There are no people from us in the south of the city. "

"If it's not an accident, then someone has figured out that we're going to distribute grain seeds today." Liu Shouzheng frowned, his face gloomy.

Lin Butler was a little surprised: "No one else knows about the decision to distribute grain seeds.

And the time of distribution was only temporarily set by you, master, three days ago, even if someone knows, it shouldn't be."

It is true that murder and arson are not so easy, and the deceased was not an ordinary person, but Jin Zhaodong from Hongwentang.

And let Jin Zhaodong die easily in the water when the time is clear, no matter how you think about it, it is incredible.

If it is in the entire Lushan County, who is the only person Liu Shouzheng feels afraid of.

That must be Jin Zhaodong.

Whether it is the forces behind Jin Zhaodong, Hongwentang or even the Pedestrian Gang, or Jin Zhaodong himself, it is enough to make Liu Shouzheng feel jealous.
-
In the past two years, the members of the traveling gang have acted recklessly in Lushan County. Liu Shouzheng is not invisible, but as long as the disaster situation in Yuzhou Prefecture does not ease for a day, the members of the traveling gang will naturally not be able to act easily.

Even, as long as the members of the traveling gang don't go too far, he has to sell some things to Jin Zhaodong in order to save face.

In the spring of this year, the situation in the city has eased, and he also sent someone to remind him privately, asking Jin Zhaodong to take care of his subordinates, lest the Tian family send people to inspect.
