Imperial City Investigative Department

Chapter 30 Trial! (two more)
Yulian thought for a while and said:

"My bones are in that courtyard, and I can't go too far. The mountain depression is full of grievances. I want to find helpers, but unfortunately I can't get in. If you can help them out of their grievances, then it's not you What can you know if you want to know?"

Wu Chen immediately thought of the gloomy green light all over the mountains and plains, and the terrifying faces, and his hairs stood up again disobediently.

"You scared me to death. There are so many of them... I don't want to live anymore?" Wu Chen asked angrily.

Yulian giggled.

Wu Chen hurriedly signaled Yulian to shut up: "You wake up the big head again!"

"He can't hear me."

Wu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

Yulian snorted and said, "Actually, I don't think ghosts are as scary as humans. What do you think they can do to the living?"

Wu Chen heheed twice and said, "None of the people who entered the mountain at night could come out alive. One person died in front of me, and suddenly he was suffocated. What do you think they can do to the living?"

"Oh, that is, they have been dead for too long. I really don't know about it. Anyway, I tried to scare Jiang Shan, but I couldn't do it... I entered his dreams a few times, and he went to the Taoist priest. To do it, I had no choice but to hide..."

"Do you have anything else to do? I really don't have time to chat with you. You said that the other people who were killed with you have all entered the beam, but you can't let go of your obsession..."

Yulian lowered her head and said sadly: "If it wasn't because I couldn't bear it, they wouldn't be able to die... They could leave easily, but I couldn't!"

Wu Chen suddenly thought of a sentence: Don't persuade others to be kind without doing anything about them.What qualifications does he have to persuade Yulian what to do?

"I just said this, don't take it seriously, I will definitely avenge your grievances, no matter what method is used."

Yulian raised her head, smiled charmingly, and teased Wu Chen, saying, "You are too thin now. Although you have a good skin, you look weaker. You should have been hungry before, but now you have a full meal. You will go to the capital in the future. Yes, I don’t know how many little ladies will be fascinated to death, do you want me to teach you some ways to keep in good health?”

"roll!"

Wu Chen stared, Yulian giggled a few times and then disappeared.

Wu Chen sighed lightly.

……

The next morning, Wu Chen went to see Chen Zhong after breakfast, and then went out.

Song Gu has arrived.

Song Gu also did not wear official uniform today, and was arranging how to conduct an autopsy in the backyard.

When Wu Chen arrived, he found that there were a lot of things prepared in the corridor, including hemp rope, bamboo mats, charcoal, several jars of wine, several jars of vinegar, and red oil umbrellas...

Wu Chen took a breath, and couldn't help feeling hopeful again in his heart. He had read related books and knew that there was a person who used this method to determine the cause of the deceased's death, but he resisted not going to ask, just stood Just wait and see.

Someone was cleaning the bones in the corridor, and someone was digging a big pit in the yard.

Song Guben was instructing everyone how deep and how wide to dig. When he turned his head and saw Wu Chen, he walked over with a smile and said, "Are you curious about what I'm going to do?"

Wu Chen asked, "Did Song Tixing ever use a name? For example...Song Ci?"

Song Gu looked at Wu Chen in bewilderment and asked, "What do you mean? Do you know someone named Song Ci?"

Wu Chen shook his head lightly in disappointment, and said, "Song Tixing is going to have the bones steamed for autopsy."

Song Gu was stunned.

Wu Chen hurriedly explained: "Don't be surprised by Song Tixing, I'm a person who occasionally pops out a sentence or two, it's really easy to startle people, I can't help it, I can't remember the source, but I can think of it when I see it. "

"This... is a good job!" Song Gu said with emotion.

"I only know the surface, and I hope Song Tixing will explain it."

Song Gu said without hesitation:

"After digging out this big pit, pile firewood and charcoal in it, burn the walls of the big pit red, remove the charcoal fire, pour two liters of good wine and five liters of sour vinegar. While the cellar is heating up, put the bones in , Covered with a straw mat, and took out the bones about an hour later, I calculated that it should be exactly noon, when I opened the red umbrella in front of the sun, the scars on the bones could be seen."

Wu Chen nodded, and said involuntarily, "If there is a beating on the bone, you can see a red shading, and the broken bone has a blood smudge at both ends. If there is no blood shading on the bone, even if it is damaged, it will be after death. hurt."

Song Gu was shocked again. He opened his mouth and looked at Wu Chen, wanting to ask something, but he didn't know what to ask.

Wu Chen smiled apologetically and said:

"There's an ax in the class. I just kept this idea in my mind, so I said it. It's just...even if I can find out that the deceased had been beaten before he was alive, so what? People who know the truth will die, and they will flee. It was an old story a few years ago, the only thing we know is that the county magistrate Jiang Shan used to come and go here frequently during that time."

"That's enough." As expected, Song Gu was successfully diverted by Wu Chen's attention: "If there is no external force, this place will not only leave the bones, but the living people will run away. What can make them so afraid? Who? If the cause of death is found during the examination of the bones, it is even more necessary to have a serious discussion with County Magistrate Jiang."

"Even if it is found that all the dead were beaten to death, it is possible that they were done by people who escaped. The county magistrate Jiang may be able to cover it up if he doesn't know."

"If the people who escaped did such evil things, how could the remaining women follow them so obediently? After leaving this house, if anyone calls for help and tells that there are bones in the house, the old couple will not escape death. Where did they have the guts? If it was the couple who did it, they should all be killed before running away, but these women and girls are all their money, why kill them?"

Wu Chen also wanted to say that the chain of evidence was incomplete, but seeing Song Gu's confident expression, he suddenly understood that this place is different from that place.

……

In the afternoon, in the county government office of Anping County.

In front of the hall of the county yamen, to the east is the prison room, which is the daily work place of the secretary and the recording staff, and to the west is the cell.

On the north side of the middle of the hall is the county magistrate's hearing room, passing through the hall, is the second meeting hall. On weekdays, Jiang Shan, assistant officials, and scribes handle official business and meet guests. Now there are only three people in the meeting hall.

Jiang Shan sat on the ground with loose gray hair. He was kneeling, but his body could no longer support him to kneel.

Song Gu sat at the head, and Wu Chen stood aside.

"I haven't been promoted yet, do you know why?" Song Gu asked seriously.

Jiang Shan trembled all over and didn't answer.

"There is a stone stele in the front yard of the county yamen. It is written: You are paid, you are paid, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the sky is hard to bully. You see these sixteen words every day, but you turn a deaf ear to them. You have the courage to commit crimes After committing such a heinous crime, what face do you have to go down to meet your Jiang family ancestors in the future, and how will your Jiang family descendants live in the world?!"

Jiang Shan wept bitterly, lay down on the ground and shouted twice: "I am wronged, I am wronged."

"Since you are complaining, tell me where you are wronged!" Song Gu slapped the table hard.

Jiang Shan was terrified all over.

"Say!" Song Gu roared confidently.
