Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 327 Is it Jin Zhaodong who died? !
Gu Qi and the crowd of onlookers waited outside the house for only a moment, when there were waves of rough men crying inside.

Listening to the voice, the loudest, most sincere and heart-piercing one was the young man who had just had an argument with the stall owner on Liuxing Street outside the door.

"What's wrong with this? Is there really someone inside?!"

"Shall we go in and have a look?"

"Go and have a look. People have been killed. Whoever has good legs and feet has to report to the Yamen as soon as possible. This is a big deal."

The people watching outside the door were still discussing in twos and threes, but a few stall owners on Liuxing Street couldn't bear it anymore, they were the first to throw away the fire-fighting tools in their hands and rushed inside.

This rush even brought many people to rush in together.
-
Gu Qi was a little suspicious. When she first turned into the house, she really didn't notice any traces of a living person. Could it be that the person was already dead before she went in?
Hexiang Street is not too far from Mazi Alley. Judging from the speed at which the fire spread at that time, a normal adult should have no reaction so quickly.

Thinking about it, Gu Qi had already walked into the house through the flow of people, squeezed away the heads blocking the front, Gu Qi turned sideways to look inside.

The group of people who rushed in first were all inside the burned-out main house at this time, the leader was crying and shouting, kneeling on the ground, while the people on Liuhang Street were all gathered outside the main house door, looking at each other in blank dismay.

Some were weeping, some felt incredible, some felt pity, and there were even two gloating.

Gu Qi's eyes fell on the young man who was in pain, and he saw a burnt black limb on the side of his body that was covered by him.

It looked like a pair of human feet, but because the burns were too severe, and most of the figure was covered.Can't tell if it's male or female.

Gu Qi wanted to go forward to check the situation, but it was obviously not a good time.

One is autopsy, Gu Qi is not good at it.Furthermore, since a homicide has occurred, it is natural that the government should take over first, and those who have nothing to do with it rashly join in the fun and can only cause trouble for nothing.

Fortunately, Gu Qi didn't wait too long.

Although the people from the yamen haven't come yet, those Hongwentang people in the main room couldn't bear it anymore. One of them shouted loudly and said in grief and indignation:
"I didn't see Diao Shitian's body in the house. It must be Diao Shitian who escaped and took the opportunity to retaliate. Brother Jin was killed in the fire, and I want Diao Shitian's life!"

"Calm down, old man."

"Why are you so calm! It's obvious. Diao Shitian and his father have been making trouble for Brother Jin in the hall before. Now that Brother Jin has been assigned to this world, Diao Shitian is still haunted by this bastard. , who else would kill Brother Jin for no reason other than him."

"Diao Shitian should not be so bold. Where are the people around Brother Jin?"
-
Brother Jin?

Gu Qi was stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face.

So, Jin Zhaodong didn't just burn his nest, he also burned himself? !

Then seven days ago, Jin Zhaodong approached him for no reason and wanted to cooperate with him, was it just to let him witness his self-immolation?

Gu Qi faintly felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

Jin Zhaodong does seem to have some psychological problems, but he is not so out of his mind.

Even if you really have depression, world-weariness, drinking medicine, jumping into a river, hanging yourself, and burning charcoal if you can't do it, which one is more decent than pouring oil on yourself and burning yourself alive, and it can be less painful.
-
I am used to things in the rivers and lakes, and most of them are rivers and lakes.

However, since the matter happened in the county town and there were so many people watching, even if the Hongwentang people wanted to solve it privately, they couldn't take the corpse away in full view.

Fortunately, although the yamen servants patrolling the streets today were all transferred to the north of the city to maintain law and order, it is not that there are no government officials in the city.

In fact, if such a large county wants to manage the daily security issues well, it is obviously not enough to have only one government office.

Under normal circumstances, in a prefectural city, there will be separate offices for each block.

The division methods are different in different places. Lushan County uses the four-division method of southeast, northwest and four directions. Naturally, there will be an exclusive office in the four corners, and the administrative level is equivalent to the current district police station.

The people who just went to report to the officials obviously couldn't run all the way from Mazi Lane to the government office in the north of the city to report the case, but went directly to the nearest government office in the south of the city.

It's a pity that there are too few official administrative reserve personnel in Lushan County at the moment. It was heard that there was a flood and people were burned to death, so the Nancheng Office sent two people over.

It's not that the Chengnan Office deliberately neglected them, but that there were only these two people in the entire office.

One is a yamen servant, and the other is a clerk.

Fortunately, both of them are old people with some experience. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they pulled the rope around and sent all the irrelevant people out of the rope.

Even the stall owners on Liuxing Street were stopped, leaving only the young Jianghu people behind.
-
"Do you know who the deceased is?" asked the middle-aged secretary.

"It's our eldest brother, Brother Jin." The young man gritted his teeth and said.

"The deceased suffered extensive burns all over his body, and it was impossible to distinguish his physical appearance. How did you guys know that this person was your elder brother?" the middle-aged scribe asked again.

"Our eldest brother has been in poor health since he was a child, and he must always carry a medicine bottle with him when he goes out. We just found this white jade bottle at the waist of this corpse."

The young man in the lead handed a white jade bottle that had been tightly held in his hand to the yamen servant.

The yamen servant took the white jade bottle and spread it out in the palm of his hand for the clerk to read.

This is a white jade bottle that is only two knuckles long. It is small in shape and ordinary in jade quality. Due to the high temperature burning, the surface of the jade bottle is cracked in many places.

The clerk came closer to sniff it, nodded and said, "It really smells like pills."

As he said that, the clerk looked up at the young man and asked, "Apart from this medicine bottle, did you find any other items that can prove that the deceased is your elder brother?"

"This house has always been lived by my eldest brother. In the main house, no one else will rush in without calling. Isn't this proof?" The young man wondered.

The middle-aged clerk frowned: "Since it's a murder case, you should treat it with caution. You guys think about it, are there any other characteristics on your elder brother that can prove his identity?"

"This"

The young man thought for a while, then hesitated for a while and said: "Because of Brother Jin's poor health since he was a child, the old hall master gave Brother Jin a copper coin from a Taoist temple. The copper coin was tied with a red string. Brother Jin Stay by your side all the time."

"Do you know where it is?"

"It should be hung on the chest." Jin Zhaodong rarely showed such copper coins in front of others, and the young man was a little uncertain for a while.

The middle-aged clerk did not continue to ask, but took out a pair of special gloves from his backpack, put them on, and leaned over to examine the corpse.
