Concubine

Chapter 325 Vicious Murder
Yang Qiuchi asked Wang Dong: "What's the matter with you paying the boat help fee at the boat shop?"

But all the criminals who have been arrested and brought to justice have a common psychology, hoping to redeem their crimes, and this Wang Dong is no exception. Hearing Yang Qiuchi suddenly ask about the money, he hastily replied: "Reporting to the Elder Master: On the large and small rivers in Northeast Sichuan, as long as the people with fishing boats are fishing, they are almost all members of the boat gang, and they have to pay the helping fee according to the regulations."

"What if you can't pay it?"

"Then, then you have to tow the fishing boat and use the board."

"Hit the board?" Yang Qiuchi was slightly taken aback. Is this a Jianghu gang or a government office, and asked again: "What bad things did your boat gang do, do you know? - If you can tell valuable news, Maybe it can redeem the crime."

In fact, Yang Qiuchi knew very well in his heart that this Wang Dong was an ordinary fisherman, what he wanted to know, old man Yu and his son would also know.Sure enough, Wang Dong shook his head with a crying face: "Aside from paying the help fee on time, how do we people know about the affairs of the help?"

Yang Qiuchi leaned down and asked in a low voice: "Then do you know, who killed the wife and children of Lord Shen Feng Songshen, the previous magistrate of Bazhou? Was it done by your boat gang?"

A trace of panic flashed in Wang Dong's eyes: "Small... I really don't know, but I heard from the brothers in the gang before that that Shen Zhizhou was too fucked up and broke a lot of things for us. The superiors are already preparing to clean up. But how did he do it, such a secret, if the villain could know, he wouldn't stay here to fish in the Ba River."

This is the truth. It seems that the matter of this boat gang cannot be found out in a few words.Yang Qiuchi ordered Wang Dong to be escorted back to the yamen, and at the same time he ordered the Sun bamboo craftsman to be released without charge.

When Yang Qiuchi returned to the inner office, Song Qing and Hongling were very happy when they heard that Yang Qiuchi had solved the case of the floating corpse in Bahe. Of course, Hongling would come up with a unique trick and cook a table of delicious dishes to reward their earl grand lord.

Hong Ling's workmanship is good. After this case happened, Yang Qiuchi has been worrying about the case, coupled with the sad Yunlu was forced to marry far away, so he didn't eat and drink well, and now he is full of thoughts about the boat gang. What an appetite, but as soon as he tasted Hong Ling's exquisite dishes, he threw everything behind him, kept busy stuffing it into his mouth, and even praised Hong Ling in a hurry.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi's greedy look, Hongling and Song Qing glanced at each other and burst out laughing.Hong Ling said: "Master, eat slowly, no one will grab it from you."

Yang Qiuchi was chewing a piece of Dongpo elbow, and said vaguely: "I know no one will fight with me, but this mouth can't wait to swallow so many delicious bones."

Seeing that Yang Qiuchi likes to eat the dishes she made, Hongling was of course very happy, and said, "Master, you have eaten countless meals made by Hongling, and you still don't get tired of eating them."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and hugged Hong Ling, kissed Hong Ling's delicate red lips with his mouth that was greasy from Dongpo's elbow, and said: "The dishes made by my little Hong Ling, how about that?" I can’t get tired of eating it! I can’t get tired of eating it for a lifetime!”

Hong Ling's red lips were smeared with oil by Yang Qiuchi, but she was very happy in her heart, and said softly: "Master loves to eat, Hong Ling will make it for Master for the rest of his life."

"Okay! That's great!" Yang Qiuchi chewed his elbow and said with a smile.

Dangdangdang~!Song Yun'er tapped the plate with her chopsticks and snorted, "Hey! Don't be so nasty, please!"

Yang Qiuchi laughed out loud, pouted and was about to kiss Song Yuner, Song Yuner giggled and ran away in fright, Yang Qiuchi wanted to kiss the clay doll Song Qing again, and Song Qing also Scared and giggling and running around.For a while, the house was full of spring.

After eating, Yang Qiuchi began to think about the case of Shen Fengsong's wife and children who were killed by boat gangs and thrown into Bahe as Zhan Zhengzhan's arrester said.

After hearing what Zhan Zhengzhan said about the case, Yang Qiuchi had a preliminary plan. He used a method of killing two birds with one stone, and assigned Shi Qiujian to the boatman's firm to find trouble, and took the opportunity to arrest Lin Xiang. Find out the whereabouts of the thin iron chains, and solve the case of Wang Dong murdering Li Hanbao. On the other hand, use this as a means to force Lin Xiang to reveal the inside information of the boat gang, so as to solve the case of the boat gang killing Shen Zhizhou's wife and children and other crimes committed by the boat gang.

It didn't take long for Yang Qiuchi to think of a further way to solve the case. Now that the Bahe floating corpse case has been solved, he can concentrate on dealing with the boat gang.

According to the current situation, the Chuan Gang is obviously a quack gang. To deal with crimes of this underworld nature, one must be cautious and plan before acting.
The gangsters are in the dark and they are in the light. It will be a disadvantage if they confront each other head-on, because they can't find where the enemy is, so they have to lure the snake out of the hole.

Yang Qiuchi arranges for Shi Qiujian to find trouble and pretend to be beaten to death by Lin Xiang, and then arrests Lin Xiang, which is the first step to lure the snake out of the hole, hoping to draw out the senior leaders behind the ship gang and even the behind-the-scenes bureaucrats who acted as umbrellas for them.

The first thing to do now is to investigate whether the murder of Shen Fengsong's wife and children really existed, and then an autopsy needs to be carried out.

Yang Qiuchi first interrogated some officials and servants in the yamen, which confirmed the existence of this incident, and then carefully interrogated the disposition of the corpse at that time, and after learning that the corpses of Shen Fengsong's wife and children were found at that time, Shen Fengsong was so sad that he went crazy , no one to take care of him, and was sent back to his hometown. No one from his hometown came to take away the corpses of his wife and children, so they found two coffins and buried the corpses of his wife and children in a field by the river first.

The place where the corpse was buried was in the lower reaches of the Ba River, with a distance of several tens of miles. Yang Qiuchi decided to go to investigate the next day.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Qiuchi took Song Yuner, Shuanger, and Xueer, two pretty maids, to the forensic evidence investigation box. Under the protection of Nangongxiong's guards, the gangsters in charge of burying the corpse led the way. After walking for dozens of miles, they finally came to the burial ground.

The current of the Ba River was very fast, so the body was not discovered until dozens of miles downstream.

Several months had passed, and the weather was so sweltering, Yang Qiuchi was a little worried that the body was already highly corrupted or even bone-shattered. In that case, a lot of evidence would be lost.

The tomb was dug up, and two sets of coffins, one large and one small, were pulled out. Several workers pried the coffins open, and a strong corpse smell emanated from the coffins, which was unbearable.

Others frowned and covered their noses to avoid it, but Yang Qiuchi was overjoyed. The strong smell of corpses meant that the corpses were at least in the stage of decay, which was much stronger than ossification.

After opening the coffin and waiting for the smell of the corpse to dissipate, Yang Qiuchi put on the special gloves that Feng Xiaoxue sewed for him to examine the corpse, and prepared for the inspection.Examine the corpses in the larger coffins first.

Song Yun'er also followed to the coffin, and when she looked inside, the corpse lying inside was already highly corrupted beyond recognition. If it wasn't for the dress she was wearing, it would be really hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

Song Yun'er had never seen a highly corrupted corpse before, so she couldn't help but let out an exclamation when she saw this horrible scene.

The last time Zha Yunleng killed Wang Dianshi, the coffin was opened in the temple for an autopsy, and the corpse was also highly corrupted, but that time it was Liu Ruobing who accompanied Yang Qiuchi, and Song Yuner did not catch up.And the corpse of Zhao Qinglan, Wang Dianshi's concubine, who Song Yuner caught up with was hanging in the virgin forest of Zhenyuan Prefecture. Although it has also begun to rot, but the degree of corruption is not so serious, and it has been hanging in the wilderness, and the smell is not so strong bad smell.

But this time, the corpse was sealed in the coffin and buried in the soil, and the smell of corruption had been sealed in the coffin. Although it was opened for a while to ventilate, the stench of corruption in the coffin was still relatively strong, which was really unbearable.

Song Yuner just looked at it for a while, and felt that her eyes were hot and very uncomfortable. She was startled and took a few steps back.

Yang Qiuchi turned around and asked, "What's the matter? Yun'er."

"I...I think the smell is so strong, and my eyes are burning and uncomfortable."

"The smell of this rotting corpse is poisonous, you go to the side first, and wait for a while."

Decomposition produces hydrogen sulfide, a neurotoxin that irritates the conjunctiva of the eyes, causing heat, pain, and blurred vision, and irritates the respiratory tract.

Originally, for an autopsy, the corpse should be carried to a ventilated place, and the toxic gas should be blown away as much as possible, and then the examination should be carried out.But Yang Qiuchi was eager to examine it, and the corpse was already highly decomposed and could not be moved, or it would be completely rotten and fell apart. Besides, he was used to this kind of stimulation, so he went up to examine it before the smell completely dissipated.Song Yun'er didn't know, so she followed, but she got drunk.

Yang Qiuchi continued to check.According to several evidences of the burial, this corpse is the wife of Shen Zhizhou, Mrs. Pan.

After examination, it was found that there was a blunt trauma to the back of the head of the corpse. The wound was oval in shape, and there was a large area of ​​epidermis peeling off around the wound. The skull was depressed, with irregular edges, and several radial fracture lines extending to the surroundings.A relatively large bone fragment and two small bone fragments were found in the fracture area.

Judging from the condition of the wound, it was preliminarily judged that it was caused by hitting the back of the head with a pebble similar to a river.This injury alone is enough to be fatal.

Although the heads of the two corpses are highly decomposed, a moon pattern can be roughly recognized on the forehead, like a ship.According to Zhan Zhengzhan, this is the sign of the boat gang.

Sure enough, Yang Qiuchi cursed inwardly, this boat gang is really extremely arrogant.

The chest and abdomen dress of Shen Zhizhou’s wife Pan had more than a dozen obvious incisions of different sizes. After measurement, there were three sizes, all of which belonged to stabbing weapons. Based on this, it is preliminarily speculated that at least three murder weapons stabbed the deceased.Since the corpse was already highly decomposed, the surface skin layer had already dissolved and rotted, and the corresponding wound under the dress could only be seen roughly. To infer the murder weapon, we had to rely more on the wound left by the murder weapon on the dress.

There were no obvious scars on the legs.Unbuttoning the dress, the rotting skin layer of the corresponding part can also distinguish the corresponding wound. After carefully inserting the probe into the wound cavity for testing, the depth of the wound was measured, and they all reached the chest and abdominal cavity. Judging from the corresponding parts, it is estimated that the heart , lungs, liver, stomach and other parts have been punctured or punctured.

Judging from the large area of ​​dark red bloodstain-like spots all over the dress worn by the corpse, these stab wounds should have been done during his lifetime, because only wounds during his lifetime would cause such a large area of ​​bleeding, and almost the entire dress would be dyed red.

If it was stabbed shortly after death, although it would still bleed, because there is no heartbeat, the pressure of blood flow disappears, and the blood flows out under the action of gravity, so the amount is very small, and such a large area of ​​blood stains will not be formed.Also, if the wound is facing upwards, the bleeding is usually internal and not out of the body.

The corpse in the child's coffin was already highly decomposed, and the clothes were also covered with dark red bloodstains. There were several stab wounds on the chest, front and back. Judging from the size of the wounds on the clothes, there were also three types of obvious different sizes, which proved that there should be three stab wounds of different sizes. The weapon stabbed the one-year-old baby.

The wounds on the child's clothes matched the three types of wounds on Pan's dress, indicating that three people probably stabbed Pan and the child one after another, and someone smashed the back of Pan's head with pebbles.

Seeing this tragic situation, Yang Qiuchi couldn't help cursing, "Beast!" At this moment, he heard the crying sound from behind, and turned his head to see Song Yun'er standing behind him sobbing.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Yun'er, do you feel better?"

Song Yuner nodded: "These people...these people are so cruel!"

"That's right, we will never let them go lightly!" Yang Qiuchi also said bitterly.

"Brother, have you found any clues to the murderer?"

"According to the current situation, it should be done by the boat gang. The murderer is likely to be three people. I don't know who they are and who they are instigated by, but I will definitely find out!"

"Hmm! These people are so cruel to a child, they will catch them and tear them to pieces!"

The autopsy has made it clear that the wife and children of Shen Fengsong, the former prefect of Bazhou, were brutally murdered.This is the basis of the murder case.If the body is not found, or if the body proves that it was not a homicide, then the basic basis for filing and investigating the case obviously does not exist.But now that it was confirmed that he was murdered, the criminal investigation has a basic basis.

It was already evening when Yang Qiuchi and his party returned to Bazhou.He decided to immediately arraign Lin Xiang, the treasurer of the Chuanjia firm.

After a hasty dinner, Yang Qiuchi brought Song Yuner, Master Jin and personal guards to the prison, and began to secretly interrogate Lin Xiang, the shopkeeper of the "Boat House".

Lin Xiang was sitting on the ground worrying with iron chains and wooden shackles.He knew that he had gotten into trouble and killed Zhenyuan Bo Yang Qiuchi's follower. This Zhenyuan Bo, who can be made an earl with a mere Bazhou magistrate from a fifth-rank official, must have a lot of background. He's done, he's dead.But he asked his buddy Long Er to go to the shopkeeper to save him, but there was still no movement, so why not let him worry.

Seeing Yang Qiuchi brought people to the prison, Lin Xiang didn't know whether it was happiness or disaster, and looked at Yang Qiuchi in fear.

The guards hurriedly showed the seat to the Grand Master and served fragrant tea.
