Tang Jianqiu naturally knew that this might not be in compliance with the rules, but it was a pity to think that the same case in his dream had become an unsolved case due to improper handling.
The case is unsolved and the real culprit is at large. Naturally, he would not want this to happen;
"Your Excellency, I am indeed a little abrupt. The case of Wanliji must be taken over by Beizhen Fusi. That person is more or less involved in a case of collaborating with the enemy. I hope Sir Qiao will understand."
Since collaborating with the enemy and treason is enough to prove that this matter is not trivial, Tang Jianqiu will naturally not ignore things, he is in charge of this case;
"Master Tang, this is a bit inappropriate, isn't it? Now that the Three Legal Divisions have issued a general case, what use will the Criminal Department be to us if the Beizhen Fu Division monopolizes it?"
Qiao Yunsheng knew that he should give Tang Jianqiu some face in this matter, but it would be shameful to let it go out directly, so he declined politely at first.
"I will accept the judicial documents of the three laws for now. I will report the matter to the emperor truthfully. If there is anything wrong, I can negotiate with the Ministry of Punishment to jointly hear the case."
Tang Jianqiu would not make things difficult for the other party. If there was anything, he would bear it alone. Besides, he was not a despicable and shameless person;
"This... the Beizhen Fusi and the Criminal Department are trying the case together? This is unheard of!"
Qiao Yunsheng only felt that there was something wrong with this matter. It had never happened before, but now...
He inadvertently looked at Tang Jianqiu's firm eyes and sighed helplessly;
Since the other party said so, it was impossible for Qiao Yunsheng not to give Tang Jianqiu face, and immediately agreed:
"In that case, everything should be done according to the regulations."
"Thank you, Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Tang has thanked you here. I wonder if I can go to the mansion to see the body of Guo Zixu?"
He wanted to see the face of the deceased. Although the face was completely damaged and unrecognizable due to the fire, he still wanted to know something, maybe he could see something;
"Of course, please!"
"please."
After saying that, Qiao Yunsheng immediately made an invitation gesture to welcome Tang Jianqiu in, followed closely by the other Jinyi guards.
Tang Jianqiu was not restrained. As soon as he arrived at the government office, he saw a black coffin with a corpse wrapped in white cloth placed next to it. It must be Guo Zixu.
There were constant cries around, and a woman next to her covered her face and cried. She was the wife of Dr. Jia Shuo Chao Qing.
She was naturally very uncomfortable seeing her husband's body. In addition, there were several children around ten years old and some maids and servants wiping tears in sadness.
"Sir... you must catch the murderer who killed my husband!"
The woman was extremely distressed and could not wait to see the culprit's head fall to the ground. Only in this way can she relieve the hatred in her heart!
"Don't worry, if the truth is found out, the officials of the Qing Dynasty will be given justice."
After that, Tang Jianqiu circled around the corpse and found nothing suspicious, so he ordered A Fei beside him:
"A Fei, do it."
When Ah Fei heard that, it was okay, as if he had seen something very scary, he waved it away, shook his head and said:
"Sir, the little ones don't dare."
Tang Jianqiu was obviously angry. He rolled his eyes upwards and wished he could punch him on the spot.
Before Tang Jianqiu could speak first, Jin Yiwei, who was a member of Qianhu, couldn't stand it anymore: "It's useless for you to try Baihu for Jinyiwei! I must have seen a lot of corpses, how can you be so timid and fearful? You look like making a fool of yourself like this. What words!"
Ah Fei followed them and said without exaggeration that he had seen at least hundreds of corpses. Logically speaking, he should be bolder.
Now that we have embarked on this road, and as a member of the Jinyi Guards Qianhu, courage is the most important thing, but now how can you be so exaggerated when you see a burning corpse?
Ah Fei was very brave when breaking the formation and killing the enemy, but if he was asked to do something unilaterally but refused to do so, not to mention that the people from the Criminal Department were still here, he would really lose the face of Beizhen Fusi!
Tang Jianqiu was not in the mood at all, but he still took it upon himself to uncover the white cloth covering the body.
A Fei didn't dare to look at it at all, so he almost turned his back and covered his eyes.
Thinking of the fact that he was a member of Jinyiwei and was trying to test hundreds of households, A Fei had to desperately convince himself that he could not embarrass his brothers, so he suppressed his fear and continued to watch, almost fainting on the spot.
There is a certain reason why Ah Fei is like this;
When he was an orphan, he encountered a fire. Fortunately, some kindhearted people rescued him, but the beggar friends he finally made were forever buried in the sea of fire.
He did not forget the other party's eyes when saying goodbye, which were very complicated. Even when he was on the verge of death, he did not forget to tell A Fei that he must live happily.
Despair, excitement, sadness, all kinds of emotions were mixed together, and his will was swallowed up by the fire, and this was the fundamental reason why he always remained optimistic;
Sensing A Fei's emotions, Tang Jianqiu remembered it. He didn't blame him too much, but understood it very well.
In his previous life, no matter how harsh or excessive he was, A Fei was always loyal to him. Even when he faced death again, he still protected him. Even when he knew that he was facing the pain of being cut into pieces, he refused to say a word about him.
Tang Jianqiu cupped his hands and stepped forward, "I'm making you laugh, A Fei once encountered an unknown fire, which caused the root cause of his illness. It is inevitable that things related to fire will be a little scary. I hope you can forgive me."
Tang Jianqiu did not tell the specific things in detail, but only gave a general outline to avoid talking too much and reminding A Fei of sad things.
"So that's what it is, it doesn't matter."
Qiao Yunsheng was originally a fair and honest official, and now he naturally understood when he encountered such a thing. After all, it was human nature.
Tang Jianqiu moved back to the original situation with just one sentence. In this way, it could not only show Tang Jianqiu's comfort to his subordinates, but also show Qiao Yunsheng's selflessness, and also preserve A Fei's face. It could be said to kill three birds with one stone.
The atmosphere changed from stiff to relaxed. Tang Jianqiu circled around the body again. After a moment, he put his right hand under his chin and asked:
"I have something that I don't understand, and I would like to ask the Master to clarify it."
Qiao Yunsheng said: "Your Excellency, the Governor, please tell me."
"Are the autopsy results out?"
Tang Jianqiu is currently only focusing on this. If it is what he thinks, things may get out of hand.
The so-called autopsy shows that many people who died in fires were often not burned to death, but were smoked to death or choked to death. Therefore, there must be traces of burns in the mouth and lungs of the deceased.
The operator will check whether there is soot in the mouth of the corpse. If there is no soot, it means that the body was burned after death. If there is, and there are traces of burns on the trachea, it means that the body was burned to death.
"It has come out. The deceased's dental age does not match Guo Zixu's. He is a young man."
"Afterlife?"
The woman's face turned livid, she collapsed a little, and she kept trembling, "No, no, no, no."
It was this behavior that caught their attention, and their eyes were unconsciously placed on the woman wearing mourning clothes.
"May I ask Madam, is this..." Qiao Yunsheng hesitated for a moment, feeling puzzled by this.
"Replying to your lord, my wife's eldest son suddenly disappeared a few days ago and could not be found. Now that my lord has said such words, it is really difficult to surrender..."
The woman didn't dare to accept it. If the dead person was really her son, she would definitely faint from shock.
"Madam, there is no need to panic. There is currently no sufficient evidence to prove that the deceased is actually the young master. Please relax. Beizhen Fusi will go all out to return my wife a husband."
"My wife, I would like to thank you two adults!"
This matter was so important to the woman that she had to say thank you again and again.
"You're welcome. May I ask, madam, when did your eldest son disappear? Who was the first to find it?" Tang Jianqiu asked again.
The woman said: "Sir, it's my stupid dog, Guo Shide, who saw with his own eyes that man kidnapped Guo Shihao."
"Is the young master injured?"
"Not really. According to Quan Zi, the thief thought he would not pose a threat to him when he looked like this and did not do anything to him. He only saw him leaving with Shi Hao.
However, Quanzi kept hugging his wife and crying afterwards. He must have been frightened. It took him a while to tell us. After all, he looked so crazy and had no credibility even if he told us about it. "
"Even so, where is Guo Zixu now?"
Tang Jianqiu was a little upset. If that were the case, then this case would be relatively difficult.
After all, Beiping is so big, it would be difficult to find it.
Qiao Yunsheng hesitated for a moment when he saw this, but he still said it truthfully: "This... I don't know about that."
"How did that man die?"
Tang Jianqiu asked again, since he didn't know where the real Guo Zixu was, it would be a good thing to know the cause of death of the deceased. Maybe he could use favorable clues to find out something;
"There was poison in the body of the deceased. He must have been killed by someone."
Qiao Yunsheng knew very well that unless faced with a desperate situation or lost the desire to live, most people would not think of committing suicide.
"May I ask what kind of poison you got?"
Because there are many types of poisons, Tang Jianqiu had to draw specific conclusions from them.
Qiao Yunsheng did not directly answer the relevant questions raised by Tang Jianqiu. Instead, he said something that was confusing:
"It's just weird."
"Why do you see it?" Tang Jianqiu became even more curious.
Faced with Tang Jianqiu's doubts, Qiao Yunsheng finally reacted and explained patiently:
"Your Excellency must know that lead sand can accumulate into large amounts and cause death, but the lead mass in the body of the deceased is so large, how can he swallow it in his belly?"
Before Tang Jianqiu could speak, A Fei spoke anxiously: "Could it be that that person killed him and then made it look like he committed suicide by taking poison?"
Qiao Yunsheng said slightly disappointed: "Why bother? If so, wouldn't it be unnecessary? I wonder what Mr. Tang has to say?"
Just as he was talking, everyone focused their attention on Tang Jianqiu again.
Tang Jianqiu pondered for a moment, then looked at Qiao Yunsheng.
"To be honest, I have handled thousands if not tens of thousands of cases, but this is the first time for me to deal with such a difficult case. Let me think about it for a moment."
Just when he was at a loss, A Fei suddenly had a sudden idea that put the whole matter into perspective;
"Let me tell you, this murderer is like a mouse that harms people, and we, the Jin Yiwei and the Criminal Department, are like the cat that catches the mouse.
Even if the medicine is tasteless and placed in a dark place, the mouse is not that stupid. If he ate it at first, the other would die. How could the mouse eat it again? "
"I wish this harmful rat could smell it and run away."
Baihu, who had been silent until now, pouted, amused by the other party's surprising imagination.
Ah Fei became anxious when he saw this, and was about to open his mouth to retort, but Tang Jianqiu's cold eyes changed, and he said angrily: "Why did you use the metaphor of a mouse?"
"If you want to poison a mouse, why don't you crush the medicine and put it in the pie and let him eat a little every day? I don't believe it..."
"Wait! Did you just say you crushed the medicine and put it into the pie?"
After reacting, Tang Jianqiu and Qiao Yunsheng suddenly realized and frowned slightly on this case;
Baihu on the side also looked at Ah Fei with admiration, "A Fei, it's okay! I didn't expect it to be useful at the critical moment."
"Hey, thank you, Mr. Baihu. Mr. Baihu, are you praising me or hurting me?"
"This is not important anymore, let's see what Mr. Tang says!"
There was a cold light in Tang Jianqiu's eyes, and it was so cold that he said, "It seems that the lead in the deceased's body must be lead sand. It accumulates in the stomach and turns into lead when mixed with liquid. Based on this, he must have been murdered." !”
"In this case, it should be investigated internally."
