Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 52

The more you are in the chaos, the more you need to recognize the breakthrough point. According to what Du He said, Ruan Qingqing's parents are good at lying. What's more, it has been pointed out in the case file that they used to sell their own children. Those who were sent into the Qiyu Pavilion by them, who could bear to do such a disregard for human relations, did not expect to hear any truth from them.

But just outside the crowd, there were still two old people standing, with grief and indignation on their faces, Yan Ziqin asked: "Are you the parents of Yin Junyin's scribe?"

It was only then that the two old men noticed the unfamiliar young adult, stared at Yan Ziqin suspiciously, and murmured: "My lord, you..."

"Haha." There were two loud laughs from behind, and the Tang scribe in a long brown gown came out, twisting his beard and said, "Master Yan is very predictable, these two are indeed Yin Jun's parents."

The Yins and his wife obviously knew Tang scribes, bowed respectfully, looked behind him, and said, "Mr. Tang, we brought the surname Ruan, why didn't you see Mr. Feng?"

The Lord Feng they talked about was Jing Zhaoyin who was in charge of this place. When Yan Ziqin arrived just now, he should have come out to greet him, but he has never been seen.

The Tang clerk smiled and said, "Don't worry, both of you. Master Feng feels unwell today, and it's the same with Master Yan." As he spoke, he pointed to Yan Ziqin, but when he saw Mingshu, he was a little surprised, and didn't understand what was going on. Why did Mr. Yan bring a woman with him when he came out to investigate the case?
The Yin couple looked at Yan Ziqin suspiciously, wondering if this "adult" who looked younger than their son was trustworthy, and after repeated persuasion by the Tang scribe, they said, "These two are the father of the Ruan family. Mother, three days ago, when we were packing up our son's belongings at home, we discovered the deed of prostitution of their daughter Ruan Qingqing. We lived very close, and my son and his daughter loved to play together since they were young. She was not called Ruan Qingqing, but she was just called Yatou casually. People in the village joked that she was promised to Juner of our family as a bride. Later, her sinful parents sold her. I thought the matter would be over, but unexpectedly, And killed my son..."

The Ruan family said angrily: "Nonsense, who killed your son, the government has already said, Yin Jun committed suicide, who is to blame?"

Yin Jun's mother cried: "There must be a reason for suicide. You guys forced your daughter to death. Jun'er couldn't take it and committed suicide!"

Ruan Qingqing's father sneered and said, "There should be evidence to say that we forced our daughter to death. We also said that your son killed our daughter. The girl returned home on July [-]th, and your son returned to the village on August [-]st." Once, our girl died early the next morning, what do you think is a coincidence? Who knows what happened that night!"

Yin Jun's mother yelled: "What happened? Jun'er redeemed the girl, she is now a member of my family, and what happened is justified!"

The four people made a fuss and quarreled, the yamen servants hurriedly pulled away, but they couldn't stop, they didn't know where the strength came from, even seven or eight yamen servants couldn't stop them from yelling at each other, Mingshu's head was about to grow big.

If the quarrel continues in such a disorderly way, there will be no results in 100 years. She realized that Ruan Qingqing was pregnant, and who the father of the child would be a big doubt. She wanted to make everyone quiet, but her voice was quickly drowned in the noise. She had no choice but to drop the vermilion avoidance card that said "Quiet" which was standing by the wall. After a huge crisp sound, Everyone finally quieted down.

They all stared blankly at Mingshu, and heard her say: "Mrs. Ruan, do you know that Ruan Qingqing was four months pregnant before she died?"

The Ruan couple was surprised, but this kind of surprise didn't seem to be due to a sudden change, but more like panic after being exposed, they shook their heads repeatedly.

Ruan Qingqing's father pursed his lips and said, "Who are you? Why do you say our daughter is pregnant?"

Mingshu can see that the most difficult person in the Ruan family is this man, but his wife is very silent, only occasionally agreeing with him, looking very cowardly, no wonder, most of the couples who can take the initiative to sell their own daughters to brothels One is tough and selfish, the other is opinionated and silently submissive.

Ming Shu sneered, but did not answer his question, and ordered the servants to bring over the bones of Ruan Qingqing and Yin Jun. At first sight of the two bones, one of which belonged to her son, Yin Jun's mother threw herself to the ground, thinking The son didn't dare to be around, and was helped up by her husband, still trembling all over.

"Look at Ruan Qingqing's spine—the long dragon-like bone on the back. It is more curved than normal people. Look at the pelvis, it is also wider than normal people. These changes are to adapt to childbearing. Women According to the degree of change, it should be four to five months of pregnancy, when the fetus has already ossified, Ruan Qingqing should have stillborn bones in her abdominal cavity."

Yan Ziqin and Du He have long been used to Mingshu's appearance when he inspects the corpse, but the others present have never seen it before. From the Tang scribes to the government servants, to the Ruan and Yin families, they all stared wide-eyed and looked at it in disbelief. A woman skillfully picked up the bones with her gloved hands, but she didn't have the slightest disgust or fear, just as calm as picking up a stone.

"If there is no stillborn bone, it means the fetus was aborted. Was it alive or after death?" Du He consciously took out a pen and paper and began to record.

Ming Shu said: "Compared with the corpse, there was no cut on the abdomen after death. If no one has touched the corpse since then, it should be that the fetus was aborted before death, and the bones did not recover in time. It should be a very short period of time."

The last sentence caught Yan Ziqin's mind. He had been thinking just now. Ruan Qingqing returned home on July [-]th, and Yin Jun also returned on August [-]st. Is it really a coincidence?
He asked: "When was the day when Ding Xun brought Ruan Qingqing out of the Qiyu Pavilion?"

This case was pushed to the forefront, all because of Ding Hao, he has become a taboo in Jingzhao Mansion, no one dared to mention him, but now the new Mr. Yan asked him directly, after a long time, The Tang scribe pretended to look through the files, trying to fool him, but seeing Yan Ziqin looking at him with burning eyes, he said, "July 28."

On July 23, Yin Jun redeemed Ruan Qingqing.

On July 28, Ruan Qingqing was taken out of the Qiyu Pavilion by Ding Jue.

On July [-], Ruan Qingqing returned to her home near the Niangniang Temple.

On the first day of August, Yin Jun, who should not have taken leave, suddenly returned home.

On the second day of August, Ruan Qingqing's body was found in the Niangniang Temple, and Yin Jun returned to the Yamen.

On the tenth day of August, at night, Yin Jun committed suicide by taking poison in the yamen squad room. In the previous few days, he tried to die many times but failed.

The dates of this series of events are too concentrated to be entirely coincidental.Yan Ziqin decided to interrogate the Ruan and Yin families separately, perhaps to find flaws in the two families' different descriptions of the same incident, so he ordered the Yamen servants to arrange for the two families to live separately, and they were not allowed to meet during the period.

Yin Jun's mother seemed very satisfied with this arrangement. On the way before leaving, she kept saying to herself: "It's better not to meet, I don't want to see the beast that killed my son."

It was almost noon at this time, and Mingshu remembered that she would go to Yuan Yizhen's place in the afternoon, and the work of examining the corpse was also finished, so she asked Yan Ziqin to go back.

The Tang clerk was a flexible person, he leaned over and said with a smile: "This lady is very courageous, why don't I send a servant to take you back, where is the Zunfu?"

Mingshu poked Yan Ziqin with a smile, Yan Ziqin blushed and said, "She is...my wife."

The Tang scribe was even more surprised. He had worked in the yamen for decades and had seen a lot of things in the world, but it was the first time he heard that the wife followed her husband to investigate cases, and he had never seen the wife of an official who could do business. , and the technique is so precise, one can tell at a glance that it has been studied hard, not just playing around.

"Ah, it really is a hero among women!" Even the eloquent Tang scribe was at a loss for words. He watched Yan Ziqin help his wife into the carriage, then turned back and said to him: "Tang scribe, please send me a letter." Show me the file."

The Tang scribe came back to his senses, nodded in agreement, but inadvertently looked back at the carriage going away, thinking, there is more than one to deal with?Things are getting more and more complicated.

But she explained that Shu returned home, washed it with spirits, changed into clothes lined with soft fox fur, and lent Luo Qiyu a set of winter clothes. Her luggage was locked in Qiyu Pavilion. I can't take it out for a while, and I have already found someone to buy clothes and clothes, and they will be ready in a few days.

On the carriage, Mingshu looked Luo Qiyu up and down. She was wearing a jade-colored jacket and an ivory-colored silk skirt. She had worn this dress herself. At that time, her mother praised her for her good looks, and she went to show off in front of Yan Ziqin. , look at him trying to find words to praise himself with a blushing face.When I saw her today, I was far inferior to Luo Qiyu, why is there such a big gap between people?

Luo Qiyu is so transparent, how can she not know Mingshu's depression, and said with a smile: "I am only a bit pretty, but my fate is far less good than Mrs. Yan's. People live a lifetime, and they live their lives, not their skins. From this point of view, Madam Yan is a blessed person."

Mingshu listened to what she said, and asked puzzled, "Du He bullied you again?"

Luo Qiyu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "What does it have to do with him? Is it coming soon?"

Just as they were talking, the carriage stopped, and they entered Zhang's mansion through the corner gate, and when they arrived at Yuan Yizhen's room, they saw that although she was still very weak, her complexion had improved a lot.

"Thank you for the bird's nest you sent me last time." Yuan Yizhen propped herself up from the bed, said softly, and suddenly noticed Luo Qiyu—in fact, few people can ignore her, just like a pearl in a fish's eye, no one can ignore her. Can't hide her brilliance.

Unfortunately, Mingshu standing next to her became the biggest and most dazzling fish, but she could still comfort herself and think: "It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as Yan Ziqin thinks I'm good! It doesn't matter if I'm actually beautiful or not. Because Yan Ziqin is blind!"

Alas, standing next to a real beauty, I can only laugh at myself.

Luo Qiyu said with a blessing: "Miss Yuan, please allow me to ask for your pulse."

Yuan Yizhen looked at her warily, and seeing Mingshu nodding, she put down her guard and said, "Come here."

Luo Qiyu put her onion-like jade finger on Yuan Yizhen's wrist, looked at her tongue coating, asked her about her abdominal pain recently, and then said: "It's been three and a half months..."

After contemplating for a long time, he said: "Mother has insufficient energy and blood, and is too worried. I'm afraid...she is stillborn."

Yuan Yizhen was stunned for a while, then smiled wryly: "Alright, at first I was very reluctant to let go of this child. After all, it is the flesh and blood in my womb, so I hesitated whether to stay. Now it is all right, it is the child who understands the pain of being a mother. I'm happy." Then she asked the maid to bring the abortion pills.

Mingshu knew that the medicine had been adjusted by herself into a peaceful prescription for clearing heat and eliminating fire, but she still stopped her and asked Luo Qiyu to continue talking about her condition.

"I also want to ask where Lady Yuan got that prescription? Safflower, peony bark, and Glauber's salt are all medicines for tigers and wolves that shed blood. An ordinary woman would never use such a powerful medicine on herself, and Lady Yuan would not." Are you worried about leaving the root cause of the disease, or even endangering your life?"

Yuan Yizhen sighed and said: "I also want to ask the doctor to have a look before making a decision, but I dare not disturb the family, lest they force me to give birth to this child. One night, that bastard came back to the room drunk and fell out of his clothes. After reading this prescription, I lost my appetite and often vomited, so I suspected that I had a bastard's seed, so I took it and wrote it down."

Mingshu said: "You said, this recipe fell out of Zhang Lin's body? Do you still remember what day it was?"

Yuan Yizhen thought about it, and said: "July 29, I remember it very clearly, because that day was the day you returned to Bianliang, I wanted to see you, but he reprimanded me, telling me not to go out to shame, and The Qu family got involved and made Ding Siya angry."
