Forensic lady champion husband

Chapter 70

Just as Du He was about to speak, he saw Luo Qiyu rushing over, circling him countless times, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no sign of injury.

Du He was turned dizzy by her, Luo Qiyu said: "Why are you wet all over, did you go to Li's house, or did you fall into the river?"

Du He said impatiently: "Nothing happened, I was showered with cold water by mistake, you should go back soon!"

Only then did Luo Qiyu notice Yan Ziqin's presence, she felt embarrassed, but said in a bravado, "You shouldn't be showered with cold water, you should be poured with boiling water." After finishing speaking, she reluctantly left.

After Luo Qiyu left, Yan Ziqin got up and stood beside Du He, and said expressionlessly, "She's gone, you should tell the truth."

There is a crabapple tree in the small courtyard, which was just transplanted this spring, but it has sporadically bloomed some red flowers like light clouds. Du He sat down on the wooden chair under the tree, picked up a piece of fallen flowers, and sighed: "You must be too clever."

Yan Ziqin said: "You are afraid that telling the truth will make her worry, I understand." Sometimes he would hide Ming Shu for the same reason.

Du He didn't answer his words, he took out a memorial tablet from his jacket and handed it to Yan Ziqin.

"This is... Xue Hanliang's tablet?" Yan Ziqin was surprised, and then looked at the small print below, the person who set up the tablet was actually Li Zhong, "How did you get it?"

Du He said with a smile: "He walked away from Li Zhong's room. He is not an ordinary manager. He is probably a gangster who washes his hands in a golden basin and kills people like hemp. He has a lot of skill. I took the tablet and said that The fact that he secretly worshiped Xue Hanliang was made public, and he was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to go forward, so I escaped unharmed."

Yan Ziqin said: "This makes sense. Xue Hanliang was originally the sworn brother of Liang Kuan and Li Weiyong, but he was killed by them. Among those who committed the crime together that day were the green forest robbers gathered by Li Weiyong. Li Zhong should It was one of them, and he must have had a disturbed conscience, so he kept enshrining Xue Hanliang's tablet."

Du He said: "It's far more than that simple. Before Li Zhong found out my identity, he mistook me for the murderer, mentioned 'two children from 30 years ago', and said that these two children survived only with his help. Do you think it has something to do with Xue Hanliang?"

Yan Ziqin frowned thinking, and murmured: "Two children... half a year before the Xue family's accident, Xue Hanliang's wife Xu gave birth to a pair of twins, but they should have died on the day of the incident. It doesn't make sense."

Du He said: "Could it be that the case was closed in a hurry and made a mistake?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Perhaps so, go to the yamen tomorrow and ask Cheng Dutou, and find out the bones of the 49 members of Xue's family at a glance."

Du He was pleasantly surprised: "Is there a clue?"

Yan Ziqin hastily covered his mouth, his eyes scanned the direction of Mingshu's bedroom, and said, "Keep your voice down!"

"Hmm..." Du He pointed to the door. It turned out that Mingshu had already put on her clothes. She opened the door and looked at the two people in the courtyard with her long hair loose, rubbing her eyes that couldn't be opened. Eyes, vaguely said: "What's wrong..."

"No...it's nothing!" Du He pulled Yan Ziqin's hand away and laughed.

"Then you..." Mingshu pointed to Yan Ziqin's arms, "Why are you holding a tablet in the middle of the night?"

A gust of wind blew by, and Mingshu felt a little cold for no reason.

Yan Ziqin stuffed the tablet into Du He's arms, and said, "No, you read it wrong, it's just a piece of wood, go back to sleep." Then he sent Mingshu back to the room, and gave Du He a wink.

Du He looked at "Xue Hanliang" in his arms dumbfoundedly, and sighed, "We are the only two brothers left." The cold wind came back again, and Du He also had a chill on his back, and hurriedly tightened his clothes and went back to his room.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, before the morning mist cleared, Cheng Dutou's horse was tied to the gate of Yan Ziqin's house, where he had been guarding for a stick of incense, pacing up and down with his official knife in his arms, waiting for Yan Ziqin's house. Stop him as soon as you go out.

Xu An, who got up early, came out to open the door. He had never seen the process before, but saw that his brows were tightly furrowed, and his fierce face, he could not have guessed that he was an official. Then he remembered the two recent murders, and he only opened the door a crack and then closed it tightly again. Calling Cheng Dutou just as he was about to speak, he was slammed at the door.

"Officer, there is a suspicious-looking man outside the door." Xu An hurriedly came to Yan Ziqin to report.

Yan Ziqin had already changed into his court clothes, and as he expected, Ming Shu couldn't get up, so he had some refreshments in the flower hall after changing alone.

Suspicious looking person?Could it be that the Li family sent someone here?Yan Ziqin's heart trembled, and he hurriedly asked Du He to wake up Du He, who was still asleep, to care if he was angry about getting up, and to hide him first, so that the Li family would not find out.

When they got outside the door, they found out that the person who came was Cheng Dutou, who was really talking about Du He's attack on Li Zhong.

"Is it the case reported by Li Zhong?" Since nothing happened, Yan Ziqin was ready to go to court, leading the horse and Cheng Dutou while walking and talking.

Cheng Du shook his head and said, "It's the other members of the Li family. Li Zhong doesn't want to say anything. Lord Yan, what are you doing? The case is not closed yet, how can you attack witnesses?"

Yan Ziqin said: "Your witnesses may be the accomplices in the murder case of the Xue family 30 years ago, and the main culprits are the dead Liang Kuan and Li Weiyong."

Cheng Du was startled and said, "What do you mean?"

Yan Ziqin said: "The case is still one step away, you can help me do two things - first, try to find the bones of Xue's family, especially pay attention to whether there are babies; Therefore, the details of the executioner must be investigated for anyone in their 30s, and if they have twin brothers, they must also report to me, and all those who meet the circumstances will be detained and wait for my interrogation."

After finishing speaking, he got on his horse and walked towards Miyagi, leaving Cheng Dutou standing there puzzled.

Looking for the bones of the Xue family, looking for the executioner?What's the meaning?No matter what it means, let's do it first, Master Yan's arrangement will never go wrong.

When Mingshu woke up, it was bright again, and Chunxiu had already paced back and forth outside the door for more than forty times. Finally, when she heard some movement in the room, it was her little lady stretching her waist and saying: "It's another day!" Woke up."

Wake up naturally, what the hell?Regardless of Sanqi 21, he pushed the door open and walked in. Mingshu was covering her mouth with her hands, presumably yawning, and turned her head to smile while blinking tears.

"Hey, Chunxiu, did I stay up too late again?" Mingshu smiled embarrassingly.

Chunxiu thought to herself, so you would be embarrassed too, so you helped her up and picked up a comb to help her straighten her messy long hair.

"You know it's better to be late, get up quickly, the doctor who asked for the pulse has arrived early, and will be waiting for you to get up."

"Oh, it hurts, it hurts, comb it slowly! Is your uncle gone?" Mingshu asked, pulling her sore hair.

Chunxiu said: "It's almost noon, if the official Yan hasn't gone to the court, the impeachment memorial will be placed in front of the officials the next day."

Mingshu said: "That's right, you also know about Chaoli?"

Chunxiu said, "It's not what you're talking about, why worry about slander and fear of ridicule."

Ming Shu said: "This is true, but it is not allowed to mention it in front of Fan Guanren." This is what Fan Zhongyan will write in the future, but he dare not say it in front of him.

After being dragged by Chunxiu to "violently and quickly" wash up, Mingshu was finally able to sit in front of the Linghua mirror and take a breath, but said: "Please ask the doctor to go back first, I have troubled him today, and I will give you some gifts."

Chunxiu helped her stop the hand that wore the golden hairpin, and asked in confusion, "Why? Don't you ask for your pulse every day?"

Mingshu adjusted the agate pendant on her ear in front of the mirror, and said, "Today is too late, I am in a hurry to go to the yamen, your uncle should have arrived."

I was afraid that he would abandon me last night, but who let me down, I got up late.

Chunxiu pouted: "There's nothing wrong with that, but when Madam asks, you can tell her yourself."

Mingshu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I know that Chunxiu is the most honest, and we can't tell lies, so I will take care of this matter."

After changing into a set of slim-fit brunette trousers and an ivory long skirt, Mingshu came to Jingzhao Mansion non-stop.Before going out, Luo Qiyu wanted to talk to her a few times, but seeing that she was very busy, she swallowed and couldn't speak. Mingshu only realized Luo Qiyu's strange behavior just after getting into the carriage.

"Miss Luo, do you have something you want to tell me?" She asked Chunxiu.

Chunxiu has always disliked Luo Qiyu, so she didn't complain to Mrs. Qu because of Mingshu's warning, so she said embarrassingly: "If she has something to say, she will naturally tell you, sooner or later."

Mingshu could also see what Chunxiu meant, and said: "When you arrive at the Yamen, you should go home first. I want to eat something sour tonight, so let the kitchen prepare it."

Chunxiu nodded in response, sent Mingshu into the Yamen, and left in a car.

But when Shu arrived at the yamen, Cheng Dutou's subordinates naturally treated them like honored guests, and a yamen servant presented a roster as if offering a treasure, saying: "This is the list of thirteen executioners in Bianliang who are about 30 years old. Madam, please have a look." .”

Seeing that Yan Ziqin hadn't come yet, Mingshu felt a little uncomfortable, and suddenly sent a list of executioners, feeling puzzled, and asked, "Where's Cheng Dutou?"

The yamen servant said: "At the mass grave, we are searching for the remains of the Xue family."

Mingshu suspiciously flipped through the roster, and saw the names of thirteen people arranged in ascending order of age. For some reason, she always felt that this scene was familiar. Then she remembered that there were also thirteen names when she was choosing her son-in-law, and she couldn't help smiling.

They are all sorted by age, only the first one is very strange, already 31 years old, but ranked ahead of the second person who is 29 years old, so Mingshu asked: "This No.1——What's going on with Yu Haiqing?"

The yamen servant said: "He, his situation is quite special, he has a twin brother, so he was specially selected according to Lord Yan's intention."

Ming Shu nodded, paying special attention to Yu Haiqing's resume.It turned out that his parents had died long ago, and he lived in the relief hall since he was a child.

"His younger brother is a carriage puller, named Yu Haiquan. I checked it out, and the two brothers had no surnames. They were surnamed Wang by the old mother in the relief hall. They changed their surname to Yu seven years ago." explained.

Mingshu nodded, and suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the hall. It turned out that Cheng Dutou came back, and Yan Ziqin also came. Seeing Mingshu, he was a little surprised and said: "It's just in time, there are two skeletons who want to invite you have a look."

Just as they were talking, two yamen servants came in carrying a small box two feet long and one foot wide. Mingshu said: "These are two skeletons, I'm afraid there isn't even half of them."

Yan Ziqin signaled the yamen servant to open the box, but there were two small piles of the baby's bones, with obvious signs of decay. It can be seen that there was no coffin when the coffin was collected, and the wet soil directly contacted the bones, causing erosion.

"The owner of the skeleton is Xue Hanliang's twin sons." Yan Ziqin handed gloves, white vinegar and other items to Mingshu, "Take a look and see if there is any doubt?"

Mingshu just glanced at the two piles of bones, then frowned and said, "Suspicious? Your assumption is wrong. This is a human skeleton. How can you say it's a pair of twin brothers?"
