The garrison is responsible for city defense and does not include various public security incidents in the city. But at the same time, city guards can also take the initiative to intervene when emergencies occur in the city. For example, when city administrators are unable to perform their duties, or when local government offices are in chaos.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Zhou Cang to enter the city overnight and attack the Wu Mansion. However, he would need to explain and report to the Yamen of Dongjun Daoxing and the Beijiang County Sheriff's Mansion afterwards.
However, after Zhou Cang received the news that Wu Yuan was dead and suspicious, although there were no traces on his face, the first reaction in his heart was Zhang Yan's hand. But I didn't expect Zhang Yan to be really impulsive. He reminded him repeatedly, but Wu Yuan was still killed in Langyuan City like this. And it seems that there is still a tail left?
This guess was also one of the reasons why Zhou Cang reacted so quickly and immediately rushed to the city to go to the Wu Mansion.
After entering the Wu Mansion, what greeted them was the head catcher from the local government office in Langyuan City who was responsible for investigating this kind of eucalyptus. This person Zhou Cang had some impressions. While walking, communicate with each other. At least he must know the situation immediately.
"Sir, Master Wu died in the study room at home. According to the guards, Master Wu died in just a cup of tea. During this period, no abnormality was found at home. Moreover, Master Wu was clutching his chest with one hand when he died. The expression of pain is obvious, and his eyes are bloodshot. It should be caused by the severe pain in the chest. Combined with the fact that Mr. Wu has consulted a doctor many times in the past few days, it should be the same reason. However, it is not yet certain whether this is the cause of Mr. Wu's death. .
However, before Mr. Wu died, his other hand was clutching an unfinished suicide note. The words on it were quite urgent, and it was obvious that Mr. Wu had anticipated his death. And there is speculation that it was done by an innocent soldier named Zhang Yan in the city..." When he said Zhang Yan's name, the catcher subconsciously glanced at the city guard next to him. Now Langyuan City Anyone who is more well-informed doesn't know that there is a close relationship between Zhou Cang and Zhang Yan?
"Where's Wu Zuo?" Zhou Cang suddenly interrupted.
"Sir, Sir Wu is a local official, and the dignity of the body..."
"Everyone is dead, and the circumstances are suspicious. If you don't know the cause of death, how can you judge? Or are you waiting for the county magistrate's office to send someone to investigate and just stare at it? You can figure it out yourself."
The catcher swallowed subconsciously, knowing that if the superiors found out that he couldn't even explain the cause of Master Wu's death, then he would be doomed. Although the dignity of the body is important, it seems that the Wu family has no direct relatives at present. It is urgent to follow the authority, and Mr. Zhou is on hand to advise that there should be no delay.
So the catcher quickly ordered the government servants around him to run to find Wu Zuo. In fact, after they have been in this business for a long time, they can more or less see the causes of death. At least it was clear that there were no external injuries on Wu Yuan's body, no signs of poisoning, and no signs of struggle or invasion at the scene. In addition to Mr. Wu's frequent angina pectoris and consultations in the past few days, it seems that he may have died of a sudden illness.
But that suicide note... and the people involved... made the catcher subconsciously want to lead to "homicide". At least let's talk about it with someone, right? Otherwise, without Mr. Wu at the front, the mess would be too big, and the hozens below would probably be affected as well.
Zhou Cang didn't think about the other party's thoughts. Whether the local government office in Langyuan City is prosperous or not has nothing to do with him. What he cared about was that he couldn't burn Zhang Yan so quickly.
Siluke
After entering the study room, Zhou Cang could only see an arm hanging out from behind the desk.
You can see the whole body of Wu Yuan by going behind the table. The eyes on his pale face were wide open and bloodshot. His other hand was clutching the clothes on his chest and he didn't let go until he died. It can be seen that his chest must have been very uncomfortable before his death.
"Didn't you say you found a suicide note? Where is it?"
"Replying to your lord, here we are having someone compare the handwriting, and it has been confirmed that it is the handwriting of Lord Wu." The catcher was very panicked at this time, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his cheeks. He led Zhou Cang to the other side of the study, where two government servants were crouching at the table and looking at something carefully.
"how?"
"Head. Ah! I have met Mr. Zhou!" The two turned their heads and saw Zhou Cang bowing and saluting quickly.
"Where is the suicide note? Was it written by Mr. Wu himself?" Zhou Cang waved his hand to stop the two people from being polite.
"Yes, Sir. The paper pulled on Mr. Wu's body was indeed written by Mr. Wu. Even based on the ink stains on Mr. Wu's hands and the scratches on the suicide note, it can be determined that he was writing this suicide note when Mr. Wu died. Only But I didn't have time to finish it." The two of them introduced the incomplete suicide note and handed it to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang felt relieved after reading it intently. Things were much better than he had thought on the way here. There was no trace of what he thought would be left behind. The so-called "doubts" are the words mentioned in the suicide note that "someone wants to kill me" and "my only son Wu Qingling also died at his hands." But the whole article is full of Wu Yuan's guesses, even unfounded guesses. For example, "it must be a sinister means in miscellaneous studies" is completely conjecture.
Of course, another reason why Zhou Cang was relieved was that Wu Yuan was still alive when Wu Qingling died. Didn't he find any clues? Now if Zhang Yan did both things, it should be impossible to find out either. Therefore, the conclusion drawn by waiting for noon is the most critical.
Soon, two Wu Zuo came. They are the two best people in Langyuan City's Yamen. Even when Wu Qingling had an accident, they were the two who came to do the autopsy. Now seeing Wu Yuan's body again, the two of them suddenly felt that things were unpredictable.
"Just check here, be careful, don't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to find out the cause of Master Wu's death."
Zhou Cang didn't leave either, he just watched Wu Zuo make his move. Zhou Cang naturally didn't have any ripples in such a bloody scene. Looking forward to hearing Wu Zuo’s first-hand conclusion.
Although both Wu Zuo were very careful, it was not a complicated matter after all. Based on the shape of the corpse and what they saw after the chest opening, they quickly found the cause of Wu Yuan's death based on their years of experience.
So after the two exchanged glances, one of them stood up and took off his thin leather gloves and reported: "Returning to Mr. Zhou, the younger two have found out that the cause of Mr. Wu's death was a heart attack in the chest, resulting in massive bleeding." While speaking, he pointed. He showed Zhou Cang the open chest cavity, which was filled with blood and was not a normal cavity at all. There was also an obvious sign of bleeding on the heart.
Zhou Cang secretly smiled when he heard this, but his face continued to be tense. He turned his head and glanced at the head catcher beside him. He didn't say anything, but his eyes already expressed his meaning. That is, the cause of death is determined, and the contents of the suicide note are worth pondering.
