The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 263 Neat
"The murderer, have you caught it?"

"No, when we found him, he was already cold."

"..."

Chen Yuan wiped away tears, "Where did he die?"

"Dead in Dumin Village."

"What is he doing back in Dumin Village?"

Zeng Shuisheng answered every question, "Because someone died in the village, Liu Yanchun was an apprentice, so he went back with the four yamen servants to check the situation."

Chen Yuan's expression became serious, "Someone died in the village, who died?"

"Brothers Lin Qingzhong and Lin Qingfei."

I still have a little impression of these two people, it seems that they are studying with Deng Peiming, and they are very attentive to Deng Peiming on weekdays, and they are all focused on studying, not the nature of causing trouble.

"How did they die?"

"He died like this when a stick of candied haws was pierced from his mouth to the back of his head." Zeng Shuisheng patted his chest in fear.

"No wonder my grandfather taught me to eat candied haws sideways when I was young. Whenever he saw me eating candied haws vertically, he beat me and told Uncle Zhuang to hit me too. It turns out that the sticks of candied haws can really kill people."

"..." Shui Sheng has a big heart, and sadness comes and goes quickly.

"Have their bodies been transported to Yizhuang?"

"Well, the bodies of the three of them are all in Yizhuang. Junior sister, do you want to go there?"

"Ah."

"Then, you take the toolbox, and I'll lead the donkey for you."

Donkey?

Chen Yuan sniffled, "Shui Sheng, teach me how to ride a horse when you have time."

"Aren't you afraid of riding a horse?"

"I could have come back two days earlier. If I could ride a horse, I could have come back sooner..."

"Junior Sister, it's not your fault." Shui Sheng was at the side at a loss, not knowing how to comfort the crying Junior Sister.

"If you come back, I might lose my junior and junior sisters at the same time. I... I still won't teach you how to ride a horse. It's good not to ride a horse."

"No, you teach me." Riding in a carriage would not be too comfortable.

She will definitely go to the capital in the future, riding a donkey to the capital, I don't know how long it will take.

Fear exists to be overcome, not avoided.

Shui Sheng couldn't refuse the junior sister's request, and finally agreed.

After saying hello at the county government office, Chen Yuan and Shui Sheng hurried to Yizhuang with the toolbox.

This murder case involved the county government official Xu, and the murderer was an insider expert. Wu Lei and Jiang Cheng were arranged to guard the gate of Yizhuang.

In the back hall, three corpses were neatly placed on wooden boards.

The Lin brothers opened their mouths wide, each with a bamboo stick stuck in their mouths, their eyes widened like copper bells, the dilated pupils still revealing their intentions, their faces were distorted, obviously dying in great pain.

However, they lay upright, with their hands neatly placed at their sides.

The innermost corpse belonged to Liu Yanchun.

His face was serene, his complexion was pale, and he was lying on his back on the wooden board, looking like he was seriously ill.

"Senior brother."

Chen Yuan didn't want to believe it, she stepped forward and touched his carotid artery, and then felt his heartbeat.

Tears dripped unconsciously.

I took out all the 20 taels of silver notes I just got, and handed them to Shui Sheng, "Brother, please come and buy a good coffin for Liu Yanchun, and buy him a good-looking shroud. Silk and satin, don't buy too bad ones."

"it is good."

"If you have spare money, you can ask the boss to tie two beauties for him."

"Okay." The junior sister was really thoughtful, Shui Sheng turned and left holding the bank note.

He also wanted to do something for his younger brother.

It's a pity that I don't have so much money, but I can buy some money paper candles.

After staying in Yizhuang for so long, Chen Yuan is also used to the ancient customs.

When someone else's relative died and was sent to Yizhuang, the family always came to burn some money paper candles to see him off.

In front of the wooden boards of the three teenagers, there was no incense table.

The people in Dumin Village, who used to be brilliant and rational, are now poor and have nothing, no status, no money, no dignity and etiquette.

The family members of the two Lin brothers, except for the two of them, died in exile.

When the two of them died, none of the Dumin villagers who had been friends with them in the past and hoped to please them came to burn incense and paper for them.

Liu Yanchun had parents and brothers, and he seemed to treat him well on weekdays, but when he died, he didn't even send him a thin coffin.

Even if their family is poor, at least they have to burn three incense sticks.

Chen Yuan bought money paper candles from Yizhuang with copper coins, and worshiped the three of them separately.

Although I am not familiar with the other two, it is enough to be courteous.

Uncle Zhuang looked at her worriedly.

"Do an autopsy on your close relatives and friends, can you do it?"

"can."

"Hey~"

Uncle Zhuang didn't say anything, just turned his head and left.

Without an autopsy supervisor, Wu Zuo couldn't conduct an autopsy without authorization. She could only check the injuries on the surface of the body first.

Although he was eager to know the cause of his junior brother's death, but his death was after the Lin brothers, maybe the murderer who killed him was the one who killed the Lin brothers.

If a person is not careful, while eating candied haws, it is possible to suddenly fall down and stab himself to death.

But if two people were stabbed to death by candied haws sticks in the same place at the same time, it was definitely not an accident.

Chen Yuan didn't take out the lottery.

It was found that there was a lot of dry soil in the fingernails of the Lin brothers' hands, and the nails were also cracked.

Before they died, they scratched the ground with their painful hands to relieve the pain on their bodies, which resulted in their fingernails being scratched, and all ten fingers were stained with blood.

Using tweezers, scrape all the foreign matter out of one of the nails.

It is difficult to see too many problems with the naked eye. If it is in modern times, she can detect whether there is a murderer's dander in her nails.

Lieutenant Ge Xian also came over soon.

There is no Wu Zuo in the county, and it has not happened for a long time. Zeng Wu Zuo's eyes are cloudy and he can't see clearly, so he didn't invite him out of the mountain to help.

"Chen Yuzuo, luckily you came back in time."

Was it in time, she should have come back two days earlier, Chen Yuan showed a wry smile.

County Lieutenant Ge didn't ask her what she was doing outside, so he introduced the case, "Yesterday, at about six o'clock, the villagers of Dumin Village went to open up wasteland and found the two brothers of the Lin family lying on the slope, so they came to report to the officials."

"Liu Yanchun, together with Sun Aniu, Lei Ke, Luo Zhao, and Liang Zhuo, four government servants, set off to Dumin Village first."

"The yamen servant cooperated with the people in the village to find the door panels and carry the Lin brothers back to the village. Liu Yanchun said that he wanted to wander around and check the traces of the scene. He was worried about accidents, so Liang Zhuo stayed with him. As a result, Liang Zhuo went to have a rest. When he returned, he found that Liu Yanchun was gone, and he found time for a cup of tea, and found Liu Yanchun collapsed in the forest."

In other words, this arrangement is considered appropriate.

On weekdays, it is impossible to send four or five yamen servants to protect Wuzuo.

When encountering a vicious murderer, the other party wants to attack, how to prevent?
Especially in the first two days, after seeing Jin Yiwei's kung fu and methods, Chen Yuan realized that ordinary people are nothing in front of absolute force.

"Did you find anything on the dirt slope in Dumin Village? Did you extract the footprints?"

"The yamen servants took the footprints around the Lin brothers according to the method you taught."

Lieutenant Ge Xian was silent for a moment, and then said, "We compared the footprints, and they were all those of people who went up the mountain to help, not the murderer."

it's out of the question!
