Phoenix Nine Heavens

When Ling Xiang saw Su Xuan asking about her grandfather's body, she didn't dare to hide it. She immediately replied to Su Xuan, "My lord, my grandfather's body is still in the hut. Before the murderer is found, Ling Xiang dare not bury my grandfather. Ling Xiang I'm afraid that grandpa will die in peace!"

"Well, take me there!" Su Xuan said to Ling Xiang at this time, asking Ling Xiang to take her to the hut. No matter what, he must inspect Grandpa Ling Xiang's body first, and he can Find some clues in it.

Ling Xiang was flattered but didn't know how to answer. Under Su Xuan's questioning, she just nodded her head inexplicably.Anyway, she is a poor girl, and she has no ideas, so naturally she just does what others say.

"Little Mirror, Catcher Lu, you guys will follow me, and the others will stay at the inn!" Seeing that Ling Xiang agreed to her request, Su Xuan immediately ordered the little mirror and Catcher Lu beside her.

This time she was going to examine the corpse, which belonged to the yamen's public case, and naturally needed the people in the yamen to do things. As for the guards, she didn't need them for the time being, so she let the guards stay behind.

The boss and the third master naturally don't bother to worry about those things, after all they don't understand the investigation, as long as they don't cause trouble for Su Xuan in the inn, they don't care about other things for the time being.

Lu Feng and Xiao Jing immediately responded, and followed Su Xuan, led by Ling Xiang, down to the hut. Zhao Dongchen saw Su Xuan and the others went to examine the corpse. As the magistrate of Yuzhou Prefecture, he was the highest The local chief official, it was inappropriate for him not to go, so he asked Catcher Song to take his people from Yuzhou Mansion, followed him behind Su Xuan and the others, and walked towards the thatched cottage.

The location of the thatched hut is relatively remote, there is a big hole in the roof, and a huge ray of sunlight leaks out to illuminate the whole house. The guardrails covering the thatched hut are also dilapidated. It is too conservative to say that the air leaks, basically the wind enters from all sides. It is completely blocked by the occluders filled with weeds.

If there is a windy and rainy day, the heavy rain outside will surpass the light rain inside.

Lying on the simple bed was an old man whose head was covered with blood and hadn't had time to clean up. This should be Ling Xiang's grandfather.

"Do things!" Su Xuan looked around for a while, and then said to the people around her.

Xiao Jing skillfully took out the record book and began to record the grid. This is her job. Every time she examines the corpse, she must accompany Su Xuan to record the inspection results and the details of the discovery for the young lady. Xuan looked it up.

Lu Feng took the four major police officers to lift the quilt on the bed, and exposed the body in front of Su Xuan, and then stopped everyone nearby so as not to disturb Su Xuan's examination.

Ling Xiang and the surrounding villagers who came to watch the fun stopped outside and did not let them approach.

After everything was ready, Su Xuan put on her gloves, stepped over the fire suxusnq basin, and came to the corpse. She reached out and touched the old man's head, carefully examining the wounds on it.

"The back of the head was beaten with a blunt instrument, and the bones were broken and fractured. It is a fatal injury. Judging from the length and size of the wound, it should be caused by a quarter-thick wooden stick!" Su Xuan saw the wound on the back of the head at a glance, and made an accurate Then he said to the small mirror on one side.

The little mirror listened carefully to Su Xuan's details and judgments, and recorded them truthfully, not daring to be sloppy or careless.

"On the neck... There is a slight scratch on the neck, and the hands are bruised, and there are also scratches, which should be marks left by the murderer accidentally during the fight.

The right hand is clenched tightly, inside...the inside is tight..." Su Xuan had to check the wounds on the corpse, at this time, she found that the deceased's right hand was clenched like a fist, so she slowly opened the deceased's right hand, and found that there was a piece of blood hidden in the palm of her hand. A black sack of burlap.

This piece of hemp cloth is bright in color, unlike those old ones, it looks like it should be pulled off from a new dress. Su Xuan immediately picked up a piece of cloth, went directly to Lu Feng's side, and stuck it on Lu Feng. Feng made some comparisons with his work uniform, and then continued to say to the small mirror, "A piece of black burlap!"

After checking the deceased's right hand, Su Xuan continued to check the other parts of the deceased, but found no other abnormalities, so she continued to say to the small mirror, "That's all for now!"

After listening to the little mirror, he immediately closed the things in his hand, put them in a bag behind him, and archived them. The rest will be called by Su Xuan.

At this time, Su Xuan walked up to Ling Xiang, took the black burlap cloth found in the hands of the deceased, and asked Ling Xiang: "Ling Xiang, you didn't tell the truth to me!"

"My lord, how about my little girl...how dare you not tell the truth to you?" Seeing Su Xuan asking, Ling Xiang immediately looked towards Zhao Dongchen, as if waiting for Zhao Dongchen's approval, but Zhao Dongchen didn't give her any instructions, which made her hesitate Time was at a loss, so he could only continue to deny Su Xuan's question to Su Xuan.

"Your grandpa is holding this!" Su Xuan immediately picked up the black cloth in her hand, presented it in front of Ling Xiang, and then said to Ling Xiang, "Your grandpa can't tell lies, he told you I pulled this thing from the murderer's clothes!"

"Grandpa is gone, how can I talk to you?" Ling Xiang immediately said to Su Xuan, obviously she didn't believe that the dead grandfather told Su Xuan about these things.

"That's right, your grandfather is dead, so he can't speak anymore, but this thing shows one thing, that is, this piece of cloth is not from the bandits or the guards of Prince Liang's residence, but from Tolerance! Seeing that Ling Xiang still refused to admit that she was lying, Su Xuan continued to present evidence to Ling Xiang.

"This..." Faced with this evidence, Ling Xiang had no way to defend herself, but continued to involuntarily turn her head to Zhao Dongchen, not knowing how to continue her sophistry.

"This shows that the people who attacked your grandfather and took away your food were none other than people from the Gongmen. They were not thugs who robbed you of your food as you said, but they were likely to expropriate your food. There was a conflict with you, and that’s why your grandfather was beaten to death with a stick, isn’t it!” Su Xuan continued to accuse, “Before this officer was still wondering who would carry such a four-cent thick Take the stick to the street, now that you think about it, there are people in the public family who will have this behavior, and the killing stick in their hands is just four quarters thick!"

All these details point to one direction, that is, the insiders of the yamen. In addition, when Ling Xiang was answering questions, she looked at Zhao Dongchen from time to time, which made Su Xuan believe that this matter had happened with Zhao Dongchen. Nothing to do.
