Chapter 162 Death Note
The garrison is responsible for city defense, not including various security incidents in the city.But at the same time, the city guard can also take the initiative to intervene in case of emergency in the city.For example, when the city magistrate is unable to perform his duties, or when there is chaos in the local yamen.

Therefore, Zhou Cang entered the city overnight and went straight to Wu's mansion. However, afterward, he had to go to the Yamen of the Eastern Army's Taoist Office and the Beijiang County Sheriff's Mansion to explain and report.

However, after Zhou Cang got the news of Wu Yuan's death and doubts, although there were no traces on his face, the first reaction in his heart was Zhang Yan's hand.It's just that Zhang Yan was really impulsive. He reminded him repeatedly, but Wu Yuan was still killed in Langyuan City like this.And it seems that there are still leftovers?

This guess is also one of the reasons why Zhou Cang reacted so quickly and immediately went to the city to go to the Wu Mansion.

Entering the Wu Mansion, the person who greeted him was the head arrester in the local yamen of Langyuan City who was in charge of investigating such cases.This person Zhou Cang has some impressions.While walking, while communicating with each other.At the very least, he must know the situation immediately.

"My lord, Mr. Wu died in the study room at home. According to the guards, Mr. Wu died within the time of a cup of tea. During this period, no abnormalities were found at home. And when Mr. Wu died, he was holding his chest with one hand and his face was closed. The painful expression is obvious, and the eyes are bloodshot. It should be caused by the severe pain in the chest. Combined with the fact that Mr. Wu has visited the doctor several times in recent days, it should be the same reason. However, it is still not sure whether it 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 own death.And there is speculation that it was done by a criminal soldier named Zhang Yan in the city." When Zhang Yan's name was mentioned, the head catcher subconsciously glanced at the city guard next to him. Anyone who is well-informed in Langyuan City now Who doesn't know the relationship between Zhou Cang and Zhang Yan?
"Where's Wu Zuo?" Zhou Cang interrupted suddenly.

"My lord, Mr. Wu is a local high-ranking official, and the body is decent."

"Everyone is dead, and the circumstances are suspicious. If you don't know the cause of death, how do you judge? Or do you stare blankly when you are going to wait for someone from the sheriff's office to investigate? Think it out for yourself."

Catcher swallowed subconsciously, knowing that if the higher-ups found out that he couldn't even explain the cause of Master Wu's death, then he would be finished.Although the decency of the body is important, it seems that the Wu family has no immediate relatives at the moment. It is urgent to deal with the matter, and Master Zhou is on the side to suggest that we really can't delay.

So the head catcher hurriedly ordered the servants around him to run to find Wu Zuo.In fact, they have been in this business for a long time, and they can more or less see the cause of death.At the very least, it is clear that Wu Yuan's body has no trauma, no signs of poisoning, no signs of struggle or invasion at the scene.Coupled with Mr. Wu's frequent angina pectoris and consultations in the past few days, it seems more likely that he died of a sudden illness.

But the suicide note and the people involved made the head catcher subconsciously want to refer to "homicide".At least take someone to talk about it?Otherwise, without Mr. Wu standing in front, the mess would be too big, and the hozen below them would probably be affected by the fish in the pond.

Zhou Cang didn't think about the other party's little thoughts.Whether the local yamen of Langyuan City is bad or not has nothing to do with him.What he cares about is not to burn Zhang Yan so quickly.

After entering the study, Zhou Cang could only see an arm hanging out from behind the desk.

Going around behind the table, you can see the whole body of Wu Yuan's body.The eyes on the pale face were wide open, bloodshot in the eyes, and the other hand was tightly grasping the clothes on the chest, and did not let go until death.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?"

"Responding to my lord, here we are comparing the handwriting with someone, and it has been confirmed that it is Mr. Wu's handwriting." At this moment, the head catcher was very panicked, and the sweat on his cheeks was dense.He led Zhou Cang to the other side of the study, where there were two yamen servants on the desk looking at something carefully.

"how?"

"Head. Ah! I have seen Mr. Zhou!" The two turned their heads and saw Zhou Cang bowing quickly.

"Where is the suicide note? Is it Master Wu's own handwriting?" Zhou Cang waved his hand to prevent the two of them from continuing to be polite.

"Yes, sir. The paper that Master Wu's body was dragging was indeed written by Master Wu himself. Even based on the ink stains on Master Wu's hands and the scratches on the suicide note, it can be confirmed that Master Wu was writing this suicide note when he died. But I haven't had time to finish it." The two introduced the incomplete suicide note and handed it to Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang heaved a sigh of relief after watching it intently.Things were much better than he had imagined on the way here.Not to mention that there was no trace of what he thought would be left behind.The so-called "doubt" refers to the words "someone is going to kill me" and "my only son Wu Qingling also died at his hands" in the suicide note.But the whole article is full of Wu Yuan's guesses, even unfounded guesses, such as "it must be a sinister method in miscellaneous studies" is completely imaginary.

Of course, another reason for Zhou Cang's relief is that Wu Yuan was still alive when Wu Qingling died, so he didn't find any clues?Now if Zhang Yan did the two things, it should be impossible to find out the same.So the conclusion of waiting for the author is the most critical.

Soon, two assistants came.They were the best two in the yamen of Langyuan City, even Wu Qingling's accident was the two of them who came for the autopsy.Seeing Wu Yuan's body now, the two of them suddenly felt that the world was unpredictable.

"Just check here, be careful, and don't make mistakes."

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to find out the cause of Master Wu's death."

Zhou Cang didn't leave either, just watched Wu Zuo start.Zhou Cang naturally had no ripples at such a bloody scene.Waiting to hear Wu Zuo's first-hand conclusions.

Although the two foremen worked very carefully, it was not a complicated matter after all. Based on the shape of the corpse and what they saw after the chest was opened, 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 got up and took off the thin leather gloves, and reported: "Master Zhou, the younger two have found out that the cause of Master Wu's death was a heart attack in the thoracic cavity, which caused massive hemorrhage." Showing the open chest cavity to Zhou Cang, the inside was bloody and not a normal cavity at all, and there was an obvious sign of bleeding on the heart.

Zhou Cang secretly smiled when he heard this, but his face remained tense.He turned his head and glanced at the catcher next to him, but he didn't speak, but his eyes had already expressed his meaning.That is, the cause of death has been determined, and the contents of the suicide note are worth pondering.
