Chapter 1
Qingzhou City.

"My lord, a male corpse was found in the western suburbs." Chen Butou hurried in from the outside, bowed his hands, and reported the matter to the magistrate.

The name of the new magistrate is Xiao Chengzhi. He has a calm face, no emotions or anger, and stood up with a serious face: "Go, go and have a look."

The land was muddy after the rain, and the surrounding air was filled with a faint fragrance of green grass. At the rest pavilion in the western suburbs, there were already two police officers guarding there, and the autopsy was in progress.

Seeing the magistrate and Chen Butou approaching, the two policemen quickly stepped forward and bowed their heads: "My lord! It was Li Dashan, a villager from a nearby village who found the deceased. He would carry vegetables from the village to sell in the market in the city every day. His humble job has already It's been verified."

Seeing that the adults nodded in understanding, Chen Butou asked again: "Xu Yuzuo, have you found any clues?"

Xu Shuangshuang didn't seem to have heard Chen Butou's question, and still looked down at the corpse lying on the stairs of the resting pavilion.

Xiao Chengzhi looked at him, and Chen Butou immediately explained with a smile: "This Xu Yuzuo is the youngest and most powerful assistant in our Qingzhou City. She was very serious and focused during the autopsy. My lord, why don't you wait?"

As he said that, Chen Butou felt that he was so daring that he asked the magistrate to wait for Xu Yu to do the autopsy.

Xu Wuzuo ah Xu Wuzuo!You have to find out some clues quickly!Otherwise I can't keep you.

Xiao Chengzhi had seen many autopsies in the past, and he knew that during the autopsy, he had to be more focused in order not to make mistakes, so he also understood, and stood aside without saying a word, just waiting for this Xu to finish the autopsy.

About half an hour later, Xu Yuzuo stood up, and almost fell when she was unsteady, but fortunately someone supported her.

Xu Shuangshuang looked sideways, it was actually the newly appointed magistrate!That day when the magistrate entered the city on a tall horse, she caught a glimpse from afar.

"Are you okay?" Xiao Chengzhi held her arm, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, the man in front of him seemed to be a little thinner.

Xu Shuangshuang noticed that the two of them were too intimate, so she drew her arms back, took half a step back, and sat down by the stairs: "It's okay, I've been squatting for a long time."

Hearing her slightly soft voice, Xiao Chengzhi couldn't help but suspect that the young man in front of him must be a woman, right?

Chen Butou couldn't wait to know what Xu Yuzuo had found out: "Tell me quickly."

"It rained heavily from Zishi to Yinshi last night, and the scene around the deceased was washed away by the rain, so there is little possibility of preserving evidence."

Xiao Chengzhi also thought of this, and his face was a little gloomy.

"I checked the body of the deceased. His nails did not change color obviously, and the silver needles did not turn black, which means that it was not poisoned."

"There is a bruise on his leg, the shape and size match the gap in the stairs here, which proves that he fell on the stairs before he died."

"It is certain that this is the scene of the crime."

"There was no obvious trauma on his body, and homicide and suicide were ruled out."

It wasn't homicide, suicide, or poisoning, so could it be a bull-headed horse face to seduce the soul?
"This, this is unreasonable!" Chen Butou was puzzled.

"For more details, I have to take the corpse back to the morgue for a look." After Xu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she took off her white gloves and put them in her toolbox, carrying them on her back.

The two policemen who had been waiting in front of the resting pavilion hurried forward to put the corpse on the stretcher that had been prepared earlier, and sent the corpse to the morgue.

Xiao Chengzhi and Chen Butou were sitting in the living room next to the morgue. Besides Xu Shuangshuang, there was also an old man with a white beard in the morgue. The old man did not leave after the tea was served, and stood by the door with cloudy eyes. Staring at the two of them.

"Uncle Xu, don't stare at me and your lord like this, you're so panicky!" Detective Chen Kuai and Uncle Xu have known each other for two years, since they came to Qingzhou City.

Uncle Xu was taciturn and had reached the age of knowing his destiny.He is Shuangshuang's adoptive father, and Shuangshuang is a child he picked up and raised with his own hands.

Seeing what Police Officer Chen said quickly, Xu Yanqi went down.

It took about two hours for Xu Shuangshuang to come to see Xiao Chengzhi even after bathing in incense.

"My lord, this person's liver and gallbladder are torn apart, and it will only appear under extreme emotions. Judging from the expression on the face of the deceased after death, he was frightened to death."

"And when we were in the foot rest pavilion, the police quickly removed his body. There was a small area under his body that was dry, indicating that he died before it rained."

Both Xiao Chengzhi and Chen Butou saw this.

"The deceased arrived at the shelter before it rained last night. It may be because he accidentally knocked on the stairs because he was in a hurry to avoid the rain. The bruises on his legs and a small area under his body before his death may be dry. Explain. Then he was frightened to death when he saw the terrifying scene that broke his liver and gallbladder."

Xu Shuangshuang summed it up like this, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Xiao Chengzhi recalled that when they saw the corpse, the eyes of the corpse were closed, but according to Xu Yuzuo, the eyes of the deceased should have been opened at that time!
"The dead man's body, before we arrived, apart from checking for wounds, did you move his eyes?"

When Xu Shuangshuang was asked this way, Xiao Chengzhi's words reminded her of what she had missed: "This is where the problem lies! The deceased's eyes were closed at the time."

Xu Shuangshuang immediately went to check whether the skin around the eyes of the deceased was damaged, and when he came back, his face was very ugly: "The deceased closed his eyes before death, not artificially after death. Could it be that he had sleepwalking?"

This overturned her previous conclusion.

But no matter what kind of conclusion it is, it shows that the person died accidentally or naturally, and there is no homicide relationship.

"What is sleepwalking?"

Xu Shuangshuang glanced at Chen Butou, who was asking the question, and saw that he and Xiao Chengzhi looked thirsty for knowledge, and replied: "A person acts like when he is awake. And after waking up, he will not remember What happened last night."

Chen Butou seemed to understand, but he was sure of one thing: "So, the deceased died because he dreamed about something that frightened him in his dream."

"Yes." Xu Shuangshuang's answer decided the end of the case.

Xiao Chengzhi frowned. He had handled many cases, but he had never heard of sleepwalking. It was because he was ignorant, so he would look up books related to sleepwalking when he returned.
