Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 181 Five Days
"Brother Jing Yong, why are you here?"

After asking, Qiu Hong's eyes flickered, and then he looked at Gu Qingjue behind him, looked up and down a few times, then withdrew his gaze, and then said: "This is not a place to talk, we two brothers will talk about the old days later. "

Zeng Shengji nodded and looked at Miss Qiu who was covered by a white cloth, pointed to Gu Qingjue who was standing beside him and said, "Brother Da, this is my apprentice Gu Ziyuan, he is talented and extremely intelligent. If you can ask him to help, you will be able to find out the real culprit as soon as possible."

"Brother Jing Yong actually accepted an apprentice! That's right, your Zeng family's peerless swordsmanship really needs an inheritor."

Gu Qingjue's eyes fell on Ding Yuzuo. He didn't have Su Yixin's ability to know whether a person was a villain or an evil person just by looking at his face, but his eyes could also read the subtle expressions on a person's face.

"Ding Wuzuo, during the autopsy, can we know exactly where the deadly injuries are without an autopsy?"

Ding Wuzuo has been engaged in wuzuo for nearly 30 years, and this is the first time he has been suspected by others, and he showed his face: "Is this gentleman suspicious of Ding's autopsy skills?"

"No, it's just a doubt in my heart, so I asked Ding Wuzuo."

Ding Wuzuo saw that Gu Qingjue's face was calm, and he didn't seem to be finding fault on purpose. His complexion improved a little, and he glanced at Miss Qiu who was covered by a white cloth, and said, "Under normal circumstances, it is necessary, but Miss Qiu has no other injuries on her body. There is a serious trauma to the posterior occipital bone, and according to Ding's judgment, this is a fatal injury."

In fact, it's not that Ding Wuzuo didn't want to have a craniotomy.

One was in the courtroom, with so many people watching, not everyone could afford a craniotomy; the other was that the deceased was the beloved daughter of County Magistrate Qiu, so he couldn't kill Miss Qiu in front of County Magistrate Qiu. cut off his head.

"Ding Zuo, forgive me for speaking bluntly, but the job of Wu Zuo is to present accurate autopsy results in order to help solve the case. Otherwise, it will only bury the clues and mislead the direction of the investigation."

Ding Wuzuo's face sank again, and he looked at Magistrate Qiu who was beside him.

The county magistrate Qiu raised his hand to let Ding Yuzuo step down, announced that the case would be retried the next day, and asked the government officials to evacuate the people who were crowded outside the door. Then his straight back collapsed, and he led Zeng Shengji and Gu Qing with an old face. Jue went to the backyard.

After arriving at the flower hall, Qiu Hong opened his mouth after serving tea to the servant girl.

What he said was roughly the same as what the man in wolf-smoke color said outside the door, but there were a lot of details added.

The scholar's name is Qu Zhisheng, 21 years old, from Jing County, frail and sick, but he insisted on going to Beijing to take the exam. Unexpectedly, when he passed Mingguang County, he fainted in the suburbs. He was saved when he was in the city.

Qu Zhisheng's appearance was unattractive, but his literary talents were quite impressive. Qiu Birong was impressed by Qu Zhisheng's literary talents, and visited him at the inn where he was convalescing from time to time.

Qiu Hong didn't have any prejudice against scholars. His father was also a poor scholar who went to Beijing to rush for the exam.

But the anger is there, not only is it a scholar, but the body is three points weaker than a woman, and it is cold and hot at every turn. How can such a body give happiness to my daughter.

He can bear this, but what makes people unbearable is that Qu Zhisheng has an unmarried wife at home.

The two of them have been married since they were young. If it weren't for the scholar's body, the two would have been married long ago, and they have been dragging on since then. This time they even agreed that when the scholar was in high school, he would go back and marry him.

His Qiu Hong's daughter wants to be a concubine?

cant.

So he cursed Qu Zhisheng and drove him out of the house.

At the same time, Qiu Birong was locked up. Who would have thought that a daughter's family escaped overnight.

Only one letter was left behind, and there has been no whereabouts since then.

This matter was strictly kept secret by Qiu Hong's subordinates, and the rumors were not allowed to leak out. The reason why the man in the wolf-colored brocade robe knew about it was because his elder brother was the arresting officer of the yamen, and happened to meet a scholar at his door that day.

Therefore, the people of Mingguang County did not know that Qiu Birong had eloped with the scholar.

"Dare to ask magistrate Qiu, do you still have the letters that Miss Qiu left when she left home?"

Qiu Hong nodded: "It's in the study, I'll let someone pick it up."

The letter was fetched quickly, and Gu Qingjue read it quickly, and it was consistent with what Qiu Hong recounted.

"My lord, you said that the little girl was not killed by that Qu Zhisheng, who else? He hid the little girl, and even I, the magistrate of a city, couldn't find them."

"Magistrate Qiu, as you said, the scholar surnamed Qu is indeed the most suspect, but until he is found, we can't jump to conclusions and say that he is the murderer of Miss Qiu. And the boy thinks that Ding Yuzuo has to have another autopsy , determine what the real cause of Miss Qiu's death is!"

Qiu Hong frowned: "It still needs to be checked, isn't it already confirmed that the fatal injury of the little girl is at the occipital bone at the back of the head and neck? Although I am not a coworker, I also know that the person who was injured here cannot still be alive."

Zeng Shengji said at this time: "Brother Da, I think we should be more cautious if we want to find the murderer of your daughter. Another autopsy is not disrespectful to her, but it can let her spirit rest in heaven!"

Qiu Hong took a deep breath: "Since Brother Jing Yong said so, if I disagree, it will be unreasonable."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and said to Gu Qingjue: "I see that you have clear thinking and careful thinking, so I specially allow you to work with Xing Butou to find out the cause of the little girl's death and give her justice. But I want to give you Is it possible to solve a case within ten days?"

"Five days, the kid will find out the real culprit within five days."

Qiu Hong was stunned for a moment, staring at Gu Qingjue with shrewd bloodshot eyes, let out a heavy breath after a few breaths, and nodded: "Okay, five days. I am waiting for you to catch the real culprit in front of me. "

Afterwards, Qiu Hong asked Zeng Shengji how he came here from the capital, and Zeng Shengji shook his head most of the time.

Qiu Hong lost his beloved daughter, and his mental state is not good.

After saying a few words, he got up to say goodbye and prepared to go back to the inn. Before leaving, Gu Qingjue looked at the letter in Qiu Hong's hand and said, "Magistrate Qiu, can I take this letter with me?"

"Oh, alright!"

Qiu Hong handed the letter to Gu Qingjue and asked, "Does Mr. Gu think he can find any clues from this letter?"

"Maybe!"

Gu Qingjue took the letter, put it in his sleeve, and bid farewell to Qiu Hong!
After leaving the county office, Zeng Shengji asked Gu Qingjue: "Ziyuan, why do you say that the case will be solved in five days? Dazhi has searched for so long for the scholar, but there is no whereabouts. How can you guarantee that the case will be solved in five days?" time, to bring him out?"

"The master also thinks that the scholar is the murderer?"

"Isn't it obvious? Sister Rong was looking for a scholar. She didn't show up for such a long time. She died suddenly in the river. The scholar didn't kill her. Who else could it be?"
