Chapter 341 Murder at the posthouse ([-]) One more

Everyone returned to the inn, but Xiaomo and Xiaosi were waiting at the inn. Xiaofu and Xiaoer were left in the inn by Lin Huai. If it was normal, Lin Huai would come to ask to understand. I'm afraid I don't have the time today. At this time, it must be pulling Guo Yi, and Xiaofu and Xiaoer are busy with Chuncao's family.

The other people in the post house were ordered by the eldest princess to explain in advance that they do not need to come out to see the ceremony. The postmen and postmen in the post house were guarded by the eldest princess's people, and the people who served them were also the eldest princess's people. Save a lot of trouble.

It was rare that Prince Xiang, the old monk, Princess Dachang and Qin Wubing sat in Prince Xiang's room and ate a potluck in peace.

During this period, no one spoke, this was the habit of Prince Xiang and Princess Dachang, while the old monk and Qin Wubing were starving.

After the meal, a few people drank tea, and only then did they talk about business.

"Early tomorrow morning, Seventh Uncle will set off for Beijing with me and Yu'er." Prince Xiang froze Qin Wubing when he opened his mouth.

"What about me?" Qin Wubing asked.

"You? You are given two days to find out the murder case in the posthouse before returning to Beijing!"

Qin Wubing was about to ask why, but the eldest princess hurriedly said: "Ninth brother is also for your own good. We will set off tomorrow and arrive in Beijing the morning after tomorrow. Then the emperor will go out of the city to meet the seventh uncle in person. All civil and military officials will be indispensable. Then Formation..."

"I'll stay and investigate the case!" Qin Wubing accepted the arrangement resolutely. He still has lingering fears about what happened outside Jinling City, and he doesn't want to suffer that again.

"At that time, the emperor will also announce to the world that Uncle Qi will be crowned as Prince Rui!" Prince Xiang said solemnly.

Qin Wubing didn't hold back, he burst out laughing, and said: "The prince is inevitable, why is it Rui? It doesn't match me."

The old monk rushed over with fists and kicks, and it was the eldest princess who pouted and stomped her feet, and the old monk stopped.

Prince Xiang shook his head and said:
"You, I asked you to make a fuss because I wanted you to make some small mistakes. Your trip to Xining has contributed a lot! Your Qin family has also made great contributions to the disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor is really troubled. How should I reward you?"

"Being able to marry Yu'er to me is the greatest reward for me, nothing else is necessary." Qin Wubing waved his sleeves gracefully.

The Eldest Princess pursed her lips and smiled.

Prince Xiang seemed to have not heard, and continued:

"After much deliberation, the emperor thinks that your family's rewards should not be inferior. You, it's not appropriate to be too conspicuous at this time. If you make a small mistake, the merits and demerits will be worth it. Who would have thought that you smashed the county government, this time it's all right, the merits and demerits It's all here!" Prince Xiang spread his hands.

"Will it delay my marriage?" Qin Wubing asked nervously.

The old monk hurriedly said: "When I went to Beijing to meet the emperor, the first thing I said was that I disagree with Yu'er's marriage. You are not a person who can be entrusted to you for life..."

"Seventh Uncle!" The Eldest Princess shouted angrily.

"Don't pay attention to him. Anyone who disagrees is possible. Only he hopes that we will get married tomorrow and have a son who is older than his son. It looks like we will suffer."

The old monk smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, and the eldest princess' cheeks were flushed.

"The marriage will not be delayed, but... the emperor is afraid that you have ideas, so let me persuade you, I wrote back and said, 'Fame and wealth are not in the eyes of the disease, so there is no need to worry.'"

"Ninth brother still understands me!" Qin Wubing said seriously.

"Tomorrow, people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice will arrive. If you find out the case as soon as possible, it can be regarded as finding a legitimate reason for you to smash the county government."

"I did it for the autopsy. The bodies of the deceased and the murderer they caught are in the county government office. I naturally wanted to see them. The people in the county government office refused to let me in, so I smashed the county government office in a fit of anger, and the autopsy was successful! The whole process , that is...to be a bit arrogant." Qin Wubing smiled complacently.

"Did you find anything?" Prince Xiang asked.

"The deceased was stabbed to death with a knife, not hacked to death with a knife shouting outside. The time of death of the deceased should have been yesterday afternoon, but the news of the murder came from the posthouse near dusk yesterday. This is the first suspicious point. Two, the deceased was stabbed in the chest with a knife and then pulled out. The blood stains on the underwear on the chest were soaked in large areas, and the column-shaped blood stains were on both sides of the ribs toward the back instead of downward. That is to say, the deceased was killed The third one, from the distribution of the corpse spots on the deceased, it can be seen that the deceased had been moved after death. The bloodstains and the cuts did not match the coat."

"You mean, the long gown worn by the deceased was put on after death?" asked the old monk.

"Yes! The deceased was supposed to be sneaked into the room while he was taking a nap, stabbed in the heart, and killed on the spot, but the murderer didn't make a sound at that time, but waited until dusk to put on the long gown and pose for the deceased. Not on the bed, let the people in the posthouse find out, and at that time, the so-called murderer was the one they caught, holding a knife in his hand, and fell into the same room as the deceased, almost out of breath."

"What do you mean almost no breath?" asked the old monk.

"The death time of the fake murderer was indeed around dusk. The cause of death was blunt trauma to the back of the head. Someone took a hard object and hit him hard on the back of the head. I don't know if he died at that time, but if he was not treated in time, it must be a serious problem. I will die, I remember someone said that when two detectives took the bound murderer away, his eyes were closed and his body was stiff, maybe he was already dead at that time."

The eldest princess said:
"They want to create the illusion that after the murderer, someone knocks down the murderer from behind, then binds him up, and waits for the police to arrive. Then they can bribe the county government to change the death time of the deceased."

Qin Wubing nodded and said:

"Unfortunately, the problem is not only with the deceased. The dead body of the fake murderer can also prove that he is not the real murderer! He died after being hit on the head and fell to the ground. Basically, the blood was all around the head and flowed on the ground. Therefore, no matter how the person who tied him turned over the body, the blood would hardly splatter on the gown, but stabbing someone with a short knife in his hand would definitely splatter blood on his body, and he didn't!"

Qin Wubing paused for a moment and continued:

"This is the first point. The second point is that the murder weapon has been handed over to the county government. I saw that no matter what the dagger looks like, the fake murderer has never held it. His hands are naturally drooping, and there is no sign of a bent grip. Even He didn't die immediately after being knocked unconscious, and the knife in his hand was also taken away, but I believe that no one would straighten his fingers one by one, and his hand should still show a grasping state , if you die after smashing it, it will not change."

"What you said... Can other writers come to this conclusion after seeing the corpse?" Prince Xiang asked.

Qin Wubing thought for a while and said, "The conclusion should be the same."
