Chapter 291 Hu Qian's Murder Case ([-]) Second Watch
Coincidentally, the three deceased died in three adjacent cells.

When Qin Wubing walked into the dungeon, Wu Zuo was already conducting an autopsy.

Qin Wubing first stood outside the cell and took a look at the positions of the three dead. Two of the dead were relatively close to each other with only a wooden fence in between, and the other died in the middle of the cell.

Guo Zhengyin asked Wu Zuo with a sullen face: "But it's arsenic again?"

Wu Zuo was about to put away the silver needle, he nodded quickly after listening to the question and said: "There is still arsenic powder in my mouth."

Lin Zhidong's complexion was also ugly, he said coldly: "In broad daylight, it's so rampant to enter the county government office and commit murder blatantly!"

Qin Wubing looked at the cells one by one, and asked the trembling county magistrate standing beside him, "Who has moved since the people in the same cell woke up?"

The county magistrate hurriedly said: "The lower officials ordered people to watch, and no one stepped forward to turn over the corpse."

"It's not about turning the corpse, but, for example, kicking the legs, changing the place to sit, etc... moved."

The county magistrate was stunned, he didn't remember, his mind was in a mess at the time, he only remembered to order Mo to move the corpse, and then ordered someone to report it, he didn't quite remember the rest.

Qin Wubing knew that it was useless to ask, so he walked into the cell where Wu Zuo was doing the autopsy, took out the cloth bag at his waist, took out snakeskin gloves, and a cotton mask, put them all on and said to Wu Zuo, "Let me do it."

Wu Zuo was stunned, he looked up at Qin Wubing first, then at Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong standing outside the cell, the two adults nodded at the same time, Wu Zuo stood up.

"According to the current arrangement, transfer these people to other cells one by one. If there are no vacant rooms, they will be taken to other places in the county government and assigned to be guarded by trustworthy people. People in different cells are not allowed to have contact." Qin Qin Wubing started to take off the dead man's clothes while talking.

……

It was past noon when Qin Wubing finished examining the three corpses and left the cell.

Qin Wubing was hungry, and he hadn't had a single grain of rice that day.

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong looked at Qin Wubing devouring the noodles in surprise, while Lin Huai was still explaining:

"My third brother... doesn't care about these things. When he was in Wuzhou, there were more than a dozen corpses, all of which were rotten and only skeletons remained. A dead body was chopped into countless pieces, and he ate and drank the same after he fiddled with it..."

Guo Yi wanted Lin Huai to shut up, but his eyes were almost cramped, and Lin Huai didn't notice.

After eating, Qin Wubing wiped his face and mouth, and said, "The deceased didn't die from arsenic."

"What do you mean?" Guo Zheng immediately sat up straight.

"I haven't seen Hu Qian's body yet. In this weather, no matter how you preserve it, it will be almost rotten. But it should not have died of arsenic poisoning, let alone the three of you today."

Qin Wubing took a sip of tea and said again:
"The two adults must be trying to find clues about the poisoning these few days, but they don't know that the people behind the scenes just want us to work hard here, and ignore the real cause of their death. Today, the three deceased, It must be someone who participated in the murder of Hu Qian, such as the guards at the gate."

Guo Zheng glanced at Lin Zhidong and replied:
"Just now, during the autopsy by Detective Qin, the identity of the deceased was confirmed. It was indeed the two attendants who had guarded Lord Hu's door and one attendant who was in charge of Lord Hu's motorcade."

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows and said: "Since they are in charge of the convoy, they can know where they will rest on a certain day. Perhaps they have already planned to let Hu Qian die in Lishan County."

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong actually lowered their heads and pondered at the same time, but their thoughts were quite different.

What Guo Zheng thought was that what Qin Wubing said was right, they had to interrogate several people every day these days, not only the shop assistants of the inn and the herbal tea shop, but even their relatives and neighbors did not escape the interrogation , not to mention those attendants, even the way from the herbal tea shop to the inn, they have checked countless times, just to find out the path of poisoning, but unfortunately there is no progress, if it is not planned in advance, and there are ghosts, How could this be so.

What Lin Zhidong thought was, why Qin Wubing was so sure that the deceased did not die from arsenic poisoning?Their investigations in the past few days have indeed made no progress, maybe it was negligence, or someone was lying, and if they add more torture to the first trial, maybe some people can't bear to tell the truth.

Seeing that the two adults were silent, Qin Wubing continued:
"After being poisoned by arsenic, people will not die immediately. There will be a struggle for about a quarter of an hour, or even longer. If Hu Qian died of arsenic, he would never be discovered until the followers outside the door pushed the door in. He has a long mouth. Can bark and struggle, even if the mouth is blocked, kicking a chair or something, the attendants outside the door can hear it, this is one, after eating arsenic, there will be a burning sensation in the throat, and the abdomen will be violent Pain, how could the deceased be straight when he died in this pain?"

Lin Zhidong nodded subconsciously.

Qin Wubing said again:
"The inspection was very careful. The symptoms of the dead body were also consistent with arsenic poisoning, but they didn't think about what the deceased should be like before death. According to the surrounding conditions, it is not consistent with arsenic poisoning."

"I see!" Guo Zheng nodded.

Lin Huai suddenly grabbed Qin Wubing's arm and asked nervously, "Have you eaten?"

Qin Wubing shook off Lin Huai's hand, and then said:

"Three people died on the hay today. I asked the county magistrate if anyone else had moved, just to know if the hay under the dead had been moved by other external forces..."

"If they struggled before dying, the hay under their bodies would gather in one place due to their strength!" Guo Zheng said.

Lin Zhidong frowned and asked, "If it wasn't because of arsenic, why did they make the illusion that the deceased died of arsenic?"

Qin Wubing said:

"I can't deduce it now, but there is one point. As a first-rank official, Hu Qian rarely has no one around him. Even on the night he was killed, there were entourages guarding the door. If he used a sharp knife instead of poison, the murderer As soon as he appeared, Hu Qian would call out, but his followers said they didn't hear it, hum, they couldn't justify themselves."

"They can strike while Hu Qian is asleep, and kill him with one blow. Hu Qian has no chance to shout, so it's understandable for the followers to say they didn't hear it." Lin Huai said with gestures.

"Who says it's not? There's an easier way and they don't need it... But, in this way, how the murderer entered the house has become our main concern, and it's easy to lead to the entourage outside the door. I haven't been there yet. In the inn, I don’t know where the guest room where Hu Qian was killed is located. If it’s a completely secret room, and the guys in the inn haven’t helped, we have no reason not to doubt the followers.”

"You're not right. How did the eldest princess cleanse Zhao Guang into the guest room? The door is still locked..."

As Lin Huai talked, he saw that Qin Wubing's expression was wrong, he immediately realized something, and blurted out: "You mean that the people in the inn helped?"

"I didn't say anything!" Qin Wubing was in a hurry: "Now we're talking about this case, why do you always bring up the previous things?"

　It's cold in spring, zero degrees tonight, and snow tomorrow...

　　Life is always so unexpected.

　　Keep warm, don't catch a cold, a cold at this time... troublesome!
