Chapter 190 Causes of Death
Jiang Xiyuan couldn't help but bend his lips into a smile when he heard the words 'good intentions helped the wicked'. He really loved Xia Chu's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, and his petty revenge was undoubtedly revealed.

The words seemed to be addressed to Zhang Renqing, but in fact, the double entendre satirized those who claimed to be righteous but actually followed blindly, but I don't know how many of those people understood.After the truth comes out, how many people will reflect on what they have done.

Xia Chu was pacing down the hall, confident and frank, and asked Zhang Renqing in a loud voice: "On the morning of the first day of May, it was Yue Xiaohong's servant, Jin Ershun, who was the first to notice the abnormality. May I ask when did Guanshi Zhang come?" Did you know about this?"

"Then Jin Ershun went down after calling someone." Zhang Renqing said, and added: "Tang Baoxin is on the next step first. When he went in down, he was about to help Boss Yue get up, so I went over to help."

"What happened to Yue Xiaohong's body at that time?"

Zhang Renqing frowned and sighed, "The next time I meet someone, I'll know it won't work, and my whole body will become stiff. Tang Baoxin even yelled to go down to hire a doctor, maybe because he wanted to drive people away."

Xia Chu waved his hand at him, shook his head and said, "Guan Zhang, you only talk about what you saw and heard, and you don't need to analyze it."

Zhang Renqing blushed, feeling a little embarrassed, and said yes resentfully.

Xia Chu cleared his throat and said, "The phenomenon of body stiffness after death is called rigor, which usually starts to appear about an hour after death. Rigidity occurs from the face to the neck, and then from top to bottom, about three hours after death It will spread all over the body. According to Zhang Guanshi, Yue Xiaohong's whole body is already stiff, which proves that the time of death is more than three hours. Backwards from Yinshi, it is around Zishi. And Zishi, it was Lan Suqiu who saw Yuexiao The time when the lights were turned off, that is to say, Yue Xiaohong died just after going to bed."

She picked up the transcript that recorded Zhang Renqing's confession, "Tang Baoxin left her room at the end of the century and returned to Chouchu. If it was Yue Xiaohong who he killed, then what did he do for such a long period of time before and after?" gone?"

Zhang Renqing stared at Chu Xia for a while, his expression became a little hesitant, "I don't know."

"Murderers kill people, unless they are passionate and disregarded, they tend to act covertly. When Tang Baoxin left the room, the fifth roommate was not asleep, and when he returned to the room, he woke up the roommate carelessly. There was still such a long time in between. Time. What is he planning? I am afraid that others will not suspect that he will fail?"

Zhang Renqing stopped talking, and Xia Chu turned his eyes to the outside of the hall again. After a while, he saw that there was no one outside the hall, so he continued: "Guan Zhang told me about Tang Baoxin's doubts that day, and the doubts were not completely absent. It makes sense, but it has always overlooked the most important point: how did Yue Xiaohong die."

Xia Chu took out a few more sheets of paper from the file, held them up slightly, and said, "Here is the testimony of Jin Ershun, who was the first to discover the corpse. According to the testimony, there was no obvious trauma on Yue Xiaohong's corpse. , there was no blood at the scene, the corpse was in a natural lying state, and the pillow was neat. And Zhang Guanshi, you also saw the corpse for the first time, is this testimony false?"

Zhang Renqing frowned and recalled for a while, then shook his head, "Tang Baoxin had already moved the body when he went down, but there was no blood...otherwise, he wouldn't think that Boss Yue died of asthma."

"There is also an autopsy report here, which was personally inspected by Mrs. Jiang three days after Yue Xiaohong died. According to the autopsy, Yue Xiaohong had no fatal injuries, no fractures, no strangle marks under the neck, and she died of asphyxiation not caused by external force." She handed the autopsy report to Zhang Renqing, "I handed this report to you for review after it was written. It has your signature and stamp on the bottom. Is it fake?"

Zhang Renqing looked at it, "No, it's exactly the one that day."

At this time, someone outside the hall whispered: "Who knows if there was any falsification during the autopsy to cover up Tang Baoxin. Anyway, it was you who did the autopsy."

Xia Chu glanced over and stared at that person. Seeing that he was also a young man who looked like a scholar, he couldn't help but sigh to himself. They are all scholars, so why is there such a big gap?
She took a step forward and said to the man: "I'm really too lazy to explain to you, but I might as well say a few words in the public trial today. Let me ask you, is Tang Baoxin the son of an official? But a wealthy businessman? But me and your lord His relatives and friends? Or is it because he is so beautiful that we have fallen in love with him?"

There was a roar of laughter outside the hall, but Xia Chu didn't laugh, but squinted his eyes, "Why am I covering him up? Or did I know that there would be villains gossip and spread rumors later, so I made preparations in advance?"

Wang Huai who was outside the hall was startled when he heard this, and was about to squeeze out when he was wrong, but the brothers from the escort agency who followed him all looked at him, and doubts appeared in their eyes.Someone asked him in a low voice: "Guard Wang, aren't you fooling us with what you said earlier?"

Wang Huai's head was covered with sweat, facing the doubts of the people next to him, he smiled with a guilty conscience: "I will not deceive you, I have analyzed it all. Even if the analysis of the case is wrong, then Mr. Jiang and Xia Chu The thing about... always, always not talking nonsense."

Du Shan looked Wang Huai up and down, and held his arm again with his unbroken hand, "Is there something wrong with you, kid? Don't go! If you really use us as gunmen, you will get caught here." , I, Du Shan, can't spare you!"

"How can it be, how can it be." Wang Huai wanted to pull out his hand, but Du Shan's grip was too tight and he couldn't pull it out, so he had to stand scratching his heart and lungs.

After Xia Chu finished speaking, he stood back in the hall again, "Don't say that Tang Baoxin is just a commoner. The records of the court trial will be posted outside the government office after the case is closed. If there is any doubt, you can beat the drum to complain, and the same sentence, come to me, I will take another in early summer!" After she finished speaking, she wrote down the minutes to With a pat on the paperwork, he said loudly: "Continue!"

Someone outside the hall shouted hello, and then there were also people who echoed, as if they were listening to a book, all of them had expressions of anticipation, which were far from the expressions when they came.When Xia Chu saw it, he couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly, belittling and praising it all at once, do these people have any ideas of their own?Really easy to talk about.

"The book is connected..., oh, let's get back to business!" Xia Chu brought the matter back again, "Yue Xiaohong's body has obvious characteristics of suffocation, but it was not caused by external force. At that time, Yue Xiaohong had just gone to bed, so she should have died She was not asleep, and would self-medicate if she suffered from asthma attack and her breathing was not smooth, and her asthma was far from fatal instantly. So the cause of her death is the biggest doubt in this case."

Xia Chu took out the bottle of Guangjitang ointment and weighed it in his hand, "What I said above is to infer that Tang Baoxin is not the murderer, but the only thing that can really remove the suspicion for him is to find out the real murderer." She turned her head and said to Chang Qing said: "Please bring Ban Master Cheng to the hall for questioning."

Zhang Renqing was stunned when he heard that, "Master Cheng? The official doesn't suspect that Mr. Cheng is the murderer, does he?"

"Can't I doubt it?" Xia Chu squinted his eyes and smiled, "Guard Zhang knows Mr. Cheng very well?"

"Naturally!" Zhang Renqing replied confidently: "It can't be Mr. Cheng! Mr. Cheng regards Mr. Yue as his own son, and loves and cherishes Mr. Yue the most. Whoever kills it can't be the Mr. Cheng. Let him know the real murderer." , it is very possible that he went to kill that person."

"Yeah. That's true. If he didn't love and care for Yue Xiaohong so much, I'm afraid this matter would be over."

Zhang Renqing was taken aback, and asked without understanding: "What... what does this mean?"

"On April [-]th, at the Guan family hall meeting, Tang Baoxin had a dispute with the young master of the Guan family, which resulted in a lot of money not being paid for the meeting. Does Guanshi Zhang remember this incident?" Xia Chu asked he.

"Remember." Zhang Renqing was still thinking about what Cheng Shiyun said about Xia Chu, and casually said: "That time when I came back, Team Leader Cheng lost his temper, closed the door and scolded Tang Baoxin, and then asked me to go down and fine him money." He rewarded red. Tang Baoxin refused to accept it, and asked the class leader to argue, but the class leader scolded him for having no conscience, not respecting the teacher, and breaking the rules."

While speaking, Chang Qing had already brought Cheng Shiyun to the hall.Cheng Shiyun's complexion was quite grim, he was thinner than he had seen a few days ago, and he looked like he couldn't even walk steadily with a cane.Seeing this appearance, Xia Chu asked Jiang Xiyuan not to let him kneel down, and moved a crescent stool for him to sit on.

When Cheng Shiyun went to court, Xia Chu didn't interrogate him immediately, but continued to say to Zhang Renqing: "I'm afraid Guanshi Zhang doesn't know, but Tang Baoxin's private house is going to be redeemed by Yue Xiaohong. Obviously, your boss Cheng didn't There is a reason for not wanting Yue Xiaohong to leave, but it is not convenient to explain in detail at this time."

Zhang Renqing looked at Xia Chu in surprise, and then at Cheng Shiyun, "Master Cheng?"

Xia Chu walked up to Cheng Shiyun and said, "After April [-]th, I guess you also asked Yue Xiaohong what she meant, and she did have the idea of ​​leaving the German class. Do you think Tang Baoxin's existence is very important to Yue Xiaohong?" It is always a hidden danger for Hong to continue to sing, and with the quarrel and disrespect he has with you, you are deeply afraid that he will reveal everything when he gets anxious, so you have a murderous intention."

"Xia Butou, don't talk nonsense! Leader Cheng is weak and can't stand stimulation." Zhang Renqing said anxiously.

"Okay! Then I won't say it, someone will say it." Xia Chu winked, and then someone brought a tall, veiled woman to the hall, and she knelt down on one knee in the hall, not following the etiquette of the Central Plains. Said softly: "Feng Heng, a daughter of the people, is in charge of the Miaoli Building in Changning Fang. According to the Xijing Government Office, she is invited to testify in the case of Yue Xiaohong's murder."

Xia Chu nodded to her, "Then please tell Master Feng Heng what happened in late April, and I'll ask Team Leader Cheng for confirmation after I'm done."

Fengheng put his hands on his knees, and said: "On the night of April 25th, someone came to Miaoli Tower to find poisonous arrow wood juice. They said they were going out to do business, and they were afraid that they would be injured by wild animals when passing through the jungle and wasteland. They used it for self-defense. After the man talked to the minnv, the minnv asked him to come and pick it up in ten days. After ten days, the man came and bought a bottle for [-] taels of silver. That's all."

"Is this person in the hall now? Do you still recognize him?" Xia Chu asked, stepped back to let Feng Heng look away, Feng Heng turned his head and took a look, said: "Yes, he is sitting That one just lost a lot of weight compared to that day."
