Chapter 8 Murder

Wow, there's meat in the pancake! No wonder it's so fragrant. And it's both fat and lean pork belly. His mouth is full of oil and his whole body feels comfortable.

I have been eating black steamed buns and drinking wild vegetable soup every day for the past few days. This life is so uncomfortable. Moreover, most of the steamed buns are made of rice bran. Chewing them feels like chewing sand. It squats down to the throat and pierces the throat. How uncomfortable it is.

How uncomfortable it is, nothing can compare to this pork belly steamed bun.

It's just that I was too hungry and a little too greedy. The bite was too big and I couldn't swallow it. I choked and rolled my eyes.

Seeing his funny look, Linghu Zhi covered her mouth with her small hands and giggled: "Drink some water, be careful not to choke."

Qiu Wuhen quickly grabbed the tea bowl on the table. There was still half a bowl of cold water in it, along with ice residue, and poured it directly into his mouth.

After pouring cold water on it, I finally swallowed the cake with great difficulty.

He felt that the lump of food rolled from his throat down his esophagus to his stomach, and his stomach began to radiate heat.

With this stutter, he felt a hundred times more energetic.

He took another bite, this one was a little smaller, so he didn't have to chew so hard. While chewing, he asked Linghu Zhi: "By the way, how did your father get so much food from Fei Yuan's wife's family? His family is doing it.

Happy event?"

"No, Fei Zhixian is here to visit relatives. Fei Yuan is the third uncle of the county magistrate. The county magistrate often comes back to visit. Every time he comes, he has to carry large and small bags of things. This time he brought all kinds of things.

I heard that many of the cakes and food are from big places in the capital. They taste really good. This time, everyone who attended the banquet got a bag of food to take home for their families. My dad also got some.

return."

While Qiu Wuhen was chewing cooking cakes, he echoed a few words: "I heard that your father is also a scholar?"

"Yes, aren't you also a scholar? Otherwise, why would the Su family recruit you as their son-in-law? I heard that you will be a high official in the future, a general or a prime minister, and a first-class official. I have heard from the Su family before

I said it, and everyone in the village knows it. It’s a pity that your Su family is in decline now."

Hehe, even this little girl knows about this matter. The Su family puts too much pressure on this scholar.

As a son-in-law, he was originally a third-class inferior to others, but to become the chief minister of the cabinet, under one person and above ten thousand people, is tantamount to expecting the little sparrow on the branch to turn into a roc that can soar thousands of miles away. The poor little kid

How can a sparrow withstand such great pressure? No wonder he hangs himself.

Qiu Wuhen decided to change the topic: "By the way, did the county magistrate tell your father anything interesting?"

"Yes, when the county grandpa came, Mr. Fei asked my father to accompany him for wine and dinner. He heard the county grandpa talk about a lot of things. However, my dad said that the county grandpa kept looking sad and sighing, saying that it was the county seat.

There was a murder case. A clerk in the county government execution room suddenly disappeared. Three days later, he was found in a grass pit on the roadside outside the city. He was stabbed several times, but there was no blood on the scene. It was probably someone who killed him.

Then the body was thrown there."

It must be a murder case. Qiu Wuhen, a former medical examiner in time travel, was naturally moved in his heart and listened with special attention.

Linghu Zhi went on to say: "This case caused a stir in the county town. Several days passed, and there were no clues to solve the case. The county magistrate was very angry, and took Dian Shi, who was responsible for solving the case, and the head catcher.

He even slapped the police on the butt, but it was all in vain. Although a few suspects were arrested, it could not be proved that they committed murder, and they refused to admit it. The county magistrate had no choice but to come to the third uncle's place to relax.

Ask the old man if he has any ideas."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Did Mrs. Fei give you any ideas?"

"I don't have any ideas. The old man asked my father and the others to find a solution for the county magistrate. My father asked the county magistrate if he had any clues. The county magistrate said that the deceased had just received food money from the Yamen before he died and carried it in a money bag.

Yes, but the money was missing when the body was found, so it must have been a robbery."

Qiu Wuhen nodded: "Are there any other clues?"

"Well, by the way, the county magistrate said that there was a strange pattern on the face of the deceased, which was like a mesh and was about the size of a thumb. The cheek with the pattern was pale, so the pattern looked particularly scary. Some people said it was a ghost.

As for the painting, maybe he was strangled to death by a ghost."

Qiu Wuhen smiled: "There are no ghosts in this world. The paleness on the face of the deceased should be corpse spots, not something caused by ghosts. The deceased was lying face down, with his cheek just pressed against the ground. The blood in the compressed area cannot pool.

Therefore, corpse spots cannot be formed, because corpse spots are caused by blood entering the body. It proves that the deceased has been lying face down after death."

Linghu Zhi looked at him in surprise, as if she had never known him before: "Brother Qiu, you..., you actually understand the things that are being done?"

"Actually, I know more about surgery than I do about medicine."

"But, isn't it a despicable trade? You are a scholar with a great reputation, how can you learn that kind of trade?"

In the Ming Dynasty, wuzhuo was indeed a despicable profession, with extremely low social status, belonging to the lower class. Once one did wuzhuo, his descendants would not be able to take part in the imperial examination for three generations. No wonder Linghu Zhi seemed to have seen a strange person.

Qiu Wuhen said: "I'm not learning the profession of autopsy, I'm learning the knowledge that autopsy should know. Knowledge itself has no distinction between high and low. As long as it is useful, it is good knowledge, right? The knowledge of autopsy is important in solving cases.

It is very useful. If you learn the knowledge of autopsy, you will be able to find very useful clues in solving crimes, and you will be able to solve more cases. Therefore, theoretically speaking, a person who understands the knowledge of autopsy is better than a person who does not

It is easier for people who understand to solve crimes."

"So, you can solve the case?"

"Um."

"Then how do you think this case should be solved? Teach me. I'll tell my dad and ask him to tell the county magistrate. - The county magistrate and Master Fei both told them to ask the accompanying squires, including my dad, to go home and think about it.

Think about it, if you come up with an idea, tell the county magistrate quickly, it can be regarded as helping the county magistrate."

Qiu Wuhen thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you just say that the pale area on the deceased's face had a grid-like pattern?"

Linghu Zhi nodded.

"As I said just now, the corpse spots and patterns on the face indicate that the deceased did not move for a long time after death, until the blood was completely infiltrated into the muscle layer and fixed into corpse spots. During this period, he should have been lying face down. From then on.

Judging from the grid-like pattern, it is speculated that his face may have been pressed against something with a grid like a fishnet, leaving traces of the grid-like thing on his face.”

"You can ask the county magistrate to compare the grid to see if it is a fishing net or something like that. If so, then there should be a fishing net or something similar at the murder scene or the body hiding place. From this, it can be inferred that the murderer is probably a

A fisherman, or a person who has a fishing net at home, or someone who is closely related to such a person.”

Linghu Zhi didn't quite understand what she heard, but she heard the conclusion clearly and clapped her hands happily: "Great, the murderer may be a fisherman or someone related to fishing nets, right? Okay, I

Let’s talk to my dad, now my dad can do the job, it doesn’t matter whether he can be caught or not, as long as he can do the job.”

She ran to the door and turned around and said, "I remember my dad said that he heard from the county magistrate that one of the suspects arrested was a fisherman, so he should be the murderer!"

As he said that, he smiled at Qiu Wuhen, lifted the door curtain, got out and ran away.

It seems that this county is still too remote. It is estimated that there are no murder cases in normal times. Therefore, the county magistrate, Dian Shi, the chief and the police officers have little experience in handling cases, and they must also lack professional autopsy. Otherwise, such a simple case would be impossible.

It's been done long ago.

Qiu Wuhen finished the cake and was about to eat another one, but suddenly stopped and thought about it, and decided to give it to his wife, who was also hungry.

This cake is quite big, and my stomach is already half full after eating it.
