Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 154

The servant nodded yes, and hurriedly left Futian Yard.

"My lord, what is written here?" Chang Feng asked with some doubts.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and said calmly, "Wang Buquan's gate of life."

Chang Feng scratched his head, but after thinking for a long time he didn't understand the meaning of his words.

"The time is just right, Chang Feng, go and gather the people from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau, act according to the plan, and remember to do it in secret." Li Canghai put away the ledger, took out a kit from his pocket and handed it to him. .

Chang Feng took the kit, knowing that Li Canghai was finally going to attack Wang Buquan, and instantly became serious.

He saluted Li Canghai with his hands clasped, and then turned around to summon those bodyguards with firm steps.

Li Canghai looked up at the sky, and said to himself, "It's time to close the net."

Songhe Tower is the leading restaurant in Zhengyang County. It is not only magnificently decorated, but also has delicious food, attracting an endless stream of guests.

As the sun was setting, Wang Buquan and Zuo Hongji came to the banquet one after another.

"Brother Li, why did you think of inviting me to the banquet today?" Wang Buquan asked with a smile after the host and guest sat down.

Zuo Hongji glanced at him without showing any trace, and sneered in his heart. It seems that this guy doesn't know yet, this is a grand feast just for him!
Li Canghai filled up the wine, picked up the glass, and said with a smile: "No one else, I really want to thank you two for taking care of me. My younger brother is new here, if I don't have the help of you two, I have two hundred loads of relief food in my hand. Who dares to accept it?"

Wang Buquan stroked his chin, nodded slightly, and said proudly: "Brother Li, you are welcome. Since we are a cooperative relationship, I should do my best. Besides, Brother Li helped me find out the truth of the murder case and cleared me of the murder charge." , I should be the one who really wants to say thank you.”

"Brother Wang is really saying that Brother Li is so capable at such a young age, he is really young and promising! In just two days, he even solved two murder cases, which can really be called a 'divine judgment'!" Zuo Hongji squinted his eyes, admired a lot, and then suggested: "For Brother Li's name of 'God's Judgment', let's drink this cup together!"

The three of them drank all the wine in their hands, and Li Canghai sighed, "I really don't dare to take the title of 'Shenduan'. In my opinion, there is only one person in the whole world who is worthy of such a title, and that is already Faint Duke Dee."

"Hey~ Brother Li, don't underestimate yourself. If you weren't here, I, Zuo Hongji, would have lost my treasure, and even my innocent wife would have died for no reason." Suddenly there was a surge of sadness.

Although he is a businessman and puts profit first in everything, he still feels a little heartbroken when his wife is killed.

Wang Buquan then comforted him, "Brother Zuo, you can't come back to life after death, so let's express our condolences. Fortunately, the murderer has already subdued the law, and the brothers and sisters in the heavenly spirits can also rest in peace."

Zuo Hongji laughed miserably, smashed down the table angrily, and roared in a low voice: "Has the murderer really been punished?"

Wang Buquan was stunned for a moment, he nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "The evil servant has bitten his tongue and killed himself, so the revenge of the brothers and sisters will naturally be regarded as revenge."

Holding the jug, Zuo Hongji suddenly raised his head to look at Li Canghai, stared at him and said, "Brother Li, is what Brother Wang said true?"

Li Canghai put down the wine glass in his hand, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his face became hesitant.

"The servant is indeed dead, but I can't figure it out."

"Since the murderer has been punished, what else can't be figured out?" Wang Buquan drank the wine and looked at him puzzled.

"Since he has pleaded guilty, it means that he knows his end, so why commit suicide?" Li Canghai pondered.

Wang Buquan smiled and said: "He committed suicide out of fear of crime. I have been a police officer for many years, and I have seen this kind of thing a lot. After killing someone, some murderers always feel fear and choose to commit suicide. This is normal."

"Is it normal?" Li Canghai shook his head, expressing his incomprehension at his words, "Based on the county captain's years of experience in handling cases, how can we determine whether the prisoner committed suicide?"

Seeing that Li Canghai asked him for advice humbly, Wang Buquan suddenly felt a little elated.

"To determine whether a prisoner commits suicide, first of all, check whether there are strangle marks on the neck of the deceased, and then check whether the deceased has swallowed poison or bit his tongue. Generally speaking, there are only three methods for a prisoner to commit suicide. Among these three methods, tongue biting is the most common As for the judgment of suicide by biting the tongue, the correct judgment can be made only by comparing the broken tongue marks with the teeth of the deceased."

Li Canghai cupped his hands at him, and said humbly: "I never thought there would be so much knowledge about suicide, I've learned it."

Wang Buquan took a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth, and said cheerfully: "Actually, these are just my experience. Compared with Brother Li, it is really nothing to mention."

"The county lieutenant is being modest. I still have something unclear. I want to ask the county lieutenant." Li Canghai drank a glass of wine and said curiously, "According to what the county lieutenant said, if you kill yourself by biting your tongue, there will be uneven bite marks on the severed tongue. How to judge the smoothness of the broken tongue?"

Wang Buquan didn't realize the problem at all. He thought it was a discussion between the two of them in solving the case, and pondered: "Unless it is cut off by a sharp weapon, this will not happen."

"That is to say, in this case, it is very likely that the prisoner did not commit suicide, but he killed him?" Li Canghai asked, rubbing his chin.

"That's right. Prisoners will be searched when they are in the bond prison. It is impossible for them to have daggers on their bodies. Besides, if a person wants to commit suicide, why use a sharp weapon to cut his tongue? Isn't that superfluous?" Wang Buquan He laughed and said with a smile: "Brother Li, you are so talented, how can you not even understand this point?"

Li Canghai laughed: "According to what the county captain said, in this case, it is very likely that the prisoner was killed instead of committing suicide?"

"That's right, you can say that." Wang Buquan twirled his beard, and suddenly asked curiously: "Brother Li asked, did he encounter such a situation before?"

"Coincidentally, I did encounter this kind of case. The prisoner confessed to what he had done, but died unexpectedly in prison. When I examined the body, I found that the tongue of the deceased was cut off with a sharp weapon." Li Cang Hai pondered.

"There are other things like this? What happened next?" Wang Buquan felt a little strange and asked in surprise.

"Later, I found out that the assailant was actually the cook who delivered food in the prison. He broke the prisoner's tongue and tried to pretend that the prisoner bit his tongue to commit suicide, but because the prisoner died before entering the prison, he did not want to commit suicide. To save trouble, he cut off the prisoner's tongue with a sharp knife." Li Canghai said flatly.
