Datang Coroner

Chapter 12

This time, it seems to be solid evidence.

Li Changbo listened to the clues asked by the bad guys, and fell silent.

The assistant Chen Qisi also reported: "The estimated time is indeed about the same—"

Li Changbo asked in a deep voice: "Master Chen never told me exactly when Chen Qiaoniang died."

Chen Qisi then said his estimate: "I guess it's around three quarters past."

"How do you know?"

"If you've read a lot, you'll naturally have experience. But to be specific—" Chen Qisi didn't even read a book, so he got stuck for a while.

"According to the degree of stiffness of the corpse?" Li Changbo took up the conversation.

Chen Qisi was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again: "How did County Magistrate Li know?"

Li Changbo casually said: "I heard it by chance."

Chen Qisi wanted to ask again, but Li Changbo changed the topic: "What about the murder weapon?"

Chen Qisi only said it was a knife, but as for what kind, he didn't come up with a name after talking for a long time.

Li Changbo gave up and only asked the bad guy: "His husband hasn't come back yet?"

The bad guy has been investigated clearly: "It will be three or four days before I return home. I have already greeted the soldiers at the gate of the city. If you recognize it, bring it here directly."

"At the other end of the house, people are also ordered to guard." Li Changbo left such a sentence.

But he pondered in his heart: Why did Liu Dalang kill his wife?

But if Liu Dalang really killed him, would he come back?

Even though the county government has not announced the news, the news still spread like wildfire.

Liu Dalang knew that Chen Qiaoniang had hooked up with the man, so he killed him in anger.

Then Liu Dalang fled!

This is what is being discussed in the streets and alleys now.

It is said that Chen Qiaoniang's dress is delicate and charming, and she is dishonest at first glance.

There are also people who say that Liu Dalang can't do it.

Also said that Liu Dalang was too cruel——

Fu Shi was outside every day, so he naturally heard these words.

Returning home one day, Aunt Xie came over mysteriously and asked, "You and Qiao Niang have a good relationship, are you..."

"No." Fu Shiyi denied it directly.

Then smiled slightly: "I'm going out to buy groceries—"

Aunt Xie frowned, but she could only back away.

As soon as Fu Shi went out, he passed by Liu's house, looked at the seal on it, and suddenly remembered that Liu Dalang was supposed to come back in two days.

Liu Dalang...will he come back?

When Fu Shiyi left the stall the next day, Wang Erxiang came to eat burritos again.

Fu Shiyi hesitated for a moment, "I heard that Liu Dalang did it? Is it true?"

Although there are many rumors outside, Wang Erxiang still put on a straight face: "Little lady, sell cakes well, why ask so much?"

Fu Shi made a judgment in his mind.

While the pancakes were being rolled, Chen Qisi, the foreman, came out with his young apprentice and directed them to buy pancakes.

As a result, when he saw Fu Shi Yi, he snorted coldly, didn't buy the cakes, and left with his chin held high.

Fu Shiyi: ...Why is my cake poisonous?

On the second day, as soon as Fushi closed his stall in the afternoon, he went to wait outside the city gate.

Not long after, Fang Liang came.Please pay Shiyi with a smile: "Our lord invites the young lady to come over and say a few words."

As soon as Fu Shi recognized Fang Liang, he sighed secretly and followed him.

When we met, Li Changbo didn't say much, just glanced at him lightly, "Sit?"

They are all here, and they will sit down generously.

Li Changbo reached out and poured a cup of tea for Fu Shiyi.

Fu Shi drank absent-mindedly.

The hours passed by, and the tea was so drunk that the taste could not be discerned in the mouth, so Li Changbo asked leisurely, "Waiting for someone?"

He had already guessed that Fu Shiyi had nothing to hide, so he put down his glass: "Yeah."

"Magistrate Li is also here waiting for someone?"

Li Changbo also admitted: "Yeah."

"Even County Magistrate Li thinks, is it really him?" Fu Shiyi asked.

Li Changbo had a deep meaning: "Young lady shouldn't ask that."

Fu Shiyi didn't ask any questions, just lowered his head.

It took a long time to hear her say: "If he still comes, then it must not be him. He loves Chen Qiaoniang very much, owes her a lot, and never forgets to bring her gifts when he goes out."

How could such a person kill someone?

"Love is deep, hate is deep." Li Changbo's tone was neither salty nor weak, without emotion.

Fu Shiyi took a deep breath: "If it was Liu Dalang, he must have been plotting for a long time. He would never be so hasty. Since there was no loss of property at home, why did he go outside without bringing his belongings after the murder and hide his name?"

Li Changbo remained silent.

"The murderer gouged out Chen Qiaoniang's eyes. If Liu Dalang hated to kill someone, he wouldn't just goug out his eyes."

Li Changbo remained silent.

Fu Shiyi clenched the corners of his mouth, completely losing his temper.

Li Changbo filled her teacup with tea, and finally said, "This county investigates the case and only looks at the evidence."

Fu Shiyi was taken aback for a moment, and the corners of his mouth relaxed unconsciously.

These words are inexplicably believable.

They didn't find anyone to wait until the city gate closed at nightfall.

If you pay for it, you have to go home.

When Mrs. Xie saw Fu Shiyi, she turned her face solemnly: "Young lady, you have to keep yourself clean. Otherwise, I would rather not rent this house!"

Fu Shi lowered his eyes: "Understood."

The light shone on Fu Shiyi's face, and this charming little lady's face was a little pale, and Aunt Xie didn't dare to talk nonsense for some reason.

Suddenly a little embarrassing.

After returning to the house, Fu Shi frowned and thought: I should rent a house to live by myself as soon as possible.

On the second day, I closed the stall and went to the gate of the city again and again.

The mood is still contradictory.

Li Changbo still invites Fu Shiyi to drink tea.

Fu Shiyi was puzzled: "Does County Magistrate Li have any other duties?"

Li Changbo cherishes words like gold: "It's okay."

The two drank tea sullenly.

Li Changbo's heart was like still water, and Fu Shi was absent-mindedly looking at all the sentient beings under the tower.

Until the sun went down and there was only a bleak red glow in the sky, a carriage finally entered the city from outside the city.

Fu Shiyi suddenly got up.

Li Changbo coughed lightly.

Fu Shi had to stop in his tracks.

There was an uproar, and the bottom was calm.

Li Changbo tidied up his clothes and slowly went down the tower.

Fu Shiyi followed closely behind, his expression also tense.

Liu Dalang's face was dusty, dazed and restless.

Li Changbo didn't talk nonsense: "Go back to the Yamen."

Fu Shiyi still has to follow.

Li Changbo turned his head: "The idlers wait to avoid."

The idlers waited for Fu Shiyi to stop.

Then he pursed his lips, frowned, and stared at Li Changbo's back.

But Li Changbo didn't feel it at all.

The yamen carriage drifted away, and Liu Dalang's carriage was also driven away.

Fu Shiyi hesitated for a moment, called a carriage, and went home directly.

Early the next morning, the stall was still open.

Last night, the Chang'an county government was obviously busy all night, and all the people who came out to buy burritos were haggard.

Like cabbage leaves rubbed with salt.

Fu Shiyi asked his old acquaintance Wang Erxiang: "What did the interrogation reveal?"

Wang Erxiang was stern and selfless: "Little lady, don't ask around."

Fu Shiyi glanced at him silently, then added an extra fried chicken.

Wang Erxiang changed his words quietly: "It's done."

Fu Shi shook his hands, and the salt and pepper noodles suddenly became heavier.

Wang Erxiang, who returned to the yamen with the burrito, took two bites, and his pickled face turned into a bitter face: The little lady picked up a bag of salt yesterday?

Fu Shiyi lost the mind to make burritos, and hastily closed the stall.
