66. Tengu pattern
The cell is very lively.
In the death penalty cell, someone suddenly died, which was extremely eye-catching.
Sata can’t do anything except keep dogs, but he doesn’t let dogs be kept in prison, so he can only sweep the floor.
Sweep the floor well and you will lose your people.
It is said that he shouted a few times at that time, and fell down like a monster moaning.
When Tanaka brought Yimao and the prison guards arrived, the prisoners in other rooms all reached their bodies and stretched their heads to look here.
"Ghost!"
"It's the monster that is causing trouble!"
"It is said that he is a descendant of the Inuji family!"
"Doing with monsters will sooner or later be backfired, let's see!"
Qin Ming had no choice but to stand up and maintain order:
"Don't make a noise, a secret room is formed in the prison cell. Sada's death suddenly was either a sudden death or a murder case in the secret room."
"If it's a murderer, the murderer should be among the death row prisoners in this cell!"
According to Qin Ming's previous inference about monsters, Sada's death is really rumored to be a monster. After finally becoming a prison in Jingdi, new monsters will appear.
Tianaka, who was worried about something unexpected, immediately calmed down after seeing Qin Ming:
"That's great, fortunately there is Lord Abe."
Well...
It’s a bit strange that a case occurred in prison, but it turned out that a prisoner had to solve the case?
Tanaka didn't think it was inappropriate. The practice of theft was relied on Lord Abe to handle the case, let alone their small Takashima Prison?
However, he also had to maintain his majesty as a sword in front of the prisoner, and tried to analyze:
"Before this, Sada's qi veins had not faded and his complexion was as normal. Now it seems that his skin and hair are not abnormal."
"It seems that it is not the death caused by physical illness."
“No…”
Tanaka was startled by his thoughts and died suddenly without any warning, and his body was not sick. Wasn’t that just a monster?
Just like what the prisoners said, Sada is a descendant of the Inuji family. It is reasonable that the family that deals with monsters is backfired by monsters?
Seeing that Tianaka's observation ability was so strong, Qin Ming's heart suddenly became a little complicated.
Not easy to fool...
I was planning to make up some diseases and cooperate with the prisoner who was studying medicine to fool him, and then I passed.
By then, if the death row prisoner who studied medicine was executed, no one would know the facts again.
I didn’t expect that you, a warden, still knows some medical theory?
It seems that...
There is only one other way to choose.
“It looks a bit suspicious…”
"But whether there is any problem with Sada, it cannot be judged from the appearance, and the subjective impression will affect the judgment."
"You can't rush to make a judgment that is free of disease."
Qin Ming bit the bullet and delayed time and thought about how to deal with it in his mind. Anyway, he definitely couldn't let others think in the direction of ghosts.
Then, he said seriously:
"Speak with facts, let me first look at the body and find out the truth."
“What Lord Abe said.”
Tanaka nodded and called a doctor. He knew some orchid medicine.
Qin Ming: "..."
Very complete, everyone in prison is equipped with doctors.
Tanaka explained: "In order to reduce unnecessary trouble, prisons will be equipped with doctors. If the death row prisoner does not die on the execution ground, but dies in prison, it will be difficult."
Although the punishment during the Edo period was severe, it was still quite humane.
It is said that a death row prisoner was dragged to parade and saw a woman feeding her and asked him to drink it too. As a result, the prison guard who accompanied her had to ask the woman for a bowl for him to drink.
From this point of view, it is quite normal to have a doctor.
After a checkup, Sata had no illness, external injuries, internal injuries, nothing
The mental state before death was also very good.
Qin Ming regretted it a little. Since he came, the environment in the prison cell has improved greatly. Everyone has eaten and slept soundly, and their lives are very good.
In this way, it would be impossible to say that it was sudden death.
And everyone watched, there was no chance to do anything.
If it were the dragon horse here, it would definitely be yelling to kill monsters again.
"Ahem..."
"Since you are not dying of illness, you have to think about killing people."
"Find out clues, find out the cause of death, and reveal the truth, so that the murderer will never be able to breathe."
Qin Ming was talking serious nonsense, Sata died stranger than any dead person he had ever seen before.
First of all, there are no ghosts wandering around.
The monsters who used to commit crimes would stay for a while even if someone with a sage constitution was present at the scene.
Secondly, there is no cause of death.
There were no surface wounds, no internal injuries and bleeding, and he suddenly died.
It's like...
The god of the sacred eats the original owner's soul.
"Go, start with those who have conflicts with the deceased."
"Then carefully inspect the scene and don't miss any clues. Every grass and tree may be a clue."
"Don't panic, Sada's death must be a reasonable explanation in the end."
Qin Ming comforted everyone. After discovering this extremely strange death, both the prisoners and the jailer felt a little scared.
The same is true for those death row prisoners. Death is not scary, but what is scared is death that is silent and cannot even find the cause.
"yes..."
Tanaka nodded seriously and then subconsciously looked at Qin Ming.
Lord Abe has had a conflict with Sada.
Onmyoji...should have the ability to drive Shikigami or curse and kill people from a distance, right?
Qin Ming also realized this.
"I can also be included in the suspect. In any case, the most urgent task is to quickly investigate Sada's death."
As he said that, he checked the body again.
Sada's body was normal. He looked around inside and outside, and there was nothing unusual, not a single mouth.
Except for two tattoos.
"What kind of tattoo is this?"
Qin Ming pointed to the tattoo of the character "dog" on Sada's left arm.
Tanaka replied: "Ink seal is a punishment. Different marks are stabbed according to the crime committed, and the horizontal strokes and dots are called the "dog" mark, representing the death penalty."
Later, the Japanese underworld liked tattoos very much. The big origin was because of this criminal law that many prisoners would tattoo patterns on them in order to cover up the ink they entered, making it difficult to see.
Qin Ming nodded. The ink seal was probably similar to the golden seals in ancient China, and the most were found in Water Margin, which marked the criminal record of the prisoner.
"Why is Sada the only one?"
Qin Ming observed for a while and except for Sada, there were no dog-like seals on the arms of other death row prisoners.
"Sada was transferred to prison later. Maybe he was stabbed when he was tortured in another prison before. The ink master at Takashima Prison was not very good, so he was not in a hurry."
Tanaka answered one by one.
Qin Ming frowned slightly. He had thought that Sada and Nagakura Shinhachi, like Ichikawa, were sentenced to death because they had someone else's secret operation.
Now it seems that Nagakura and Ichikawa have some other hidden secrets, and the only one who is special is Sada.
He pointed to the tattoo on Sada's other arm and asked again: "What is this Tengu pattern?"
