I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty

Chang'an City, Judge's Hall.

Rather than saying it is a judge's palace, it is actually similar to a yamen.

It's just that Lin Xiu's place looks more upscale than Jingzhao Mansion or the government offices in other places.

In the early morning, Lin Xiu accompanied his sister and had breakfast in the back office.

At this moment, the system’s emotionless tone came to my ears.

【Case trigger: Mysterious case in the river!】

【The host should find out the case within twenty-four hours!】

【Mission reward: The soul leaves the body]

Lin Xiu was startled, 'Mysterious case in the river'?

Could it be that another case is about to happen?

The system does not predict the case in advance, but only when the case is discovered or someone comes to report the case.

The task will be triggered.

Lin Xiu put down his chopsticks:"You eat first, I'll go to the front hall to take a look!"

"Brother, is there another case about to happen?"Lin Rongrong frowned strangely.

Lin Xiu smiled, stood up and was about to speak.

He saw Cheng Chumo running in in a panic, shouting as he ran:"Brother Lin...Brother Lin, it's not good, again problem occurs!"

Seeing his hurried look, Lin Xiu was not surprised at all. He seemed to have known this for a long time.

On the other hand, Lin Rongrong had a look of astonishment on her face.

"What's the matter? Lin Xiu asked

"Another case occurred at the moat. This morning, several bodies were fished out from the river. Now Jingzhao Mansion has passed. Special personnel are reporting!"Cheng Chumo said

"moat?"Lin Xiu muttered silently.

No wonder the case just now, called: The Mysterious Case in Hejian, turned out to have happened on the moat.

Without saying anything, Lin Xiu turned around and walked straight to the front office.

He ordered Zhao Sheng and Meng Lang to take the Following all the officials in the Judge's Hall, they headed straight to the moat outside the city.

Soon, Lin Xiu and his party came to the city gate on horseback. From a distance, they saw many people watching the excitement around the moat.

The servants of Zhao Yamen were maintaining order here.

On the bank of the river, four corpses were lying side by side, all covered with straw mats. A strong smell rose into the sky. Yin Tangkai of the Jingzhao Prefecture stood aside with his head lowered and doing a simple inspection, covering his mouth and nose with his hands.

"what happened?"Lin Xiu came over.

Tang Kai heard this and quickly stepped forward to salute:"Master Marquis, this morning, someone found a corpse in the moat, and after salvage, three more were found!"

"oh? Could it be suicide? Here in the moat, it is not unusual for someone to jump into the river. Just find the body and return it to the family! Lin Xiu said.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, the man who had been squatting next to the corpse quickly stood up.

"No, these corpses were not suicides!"

"Um?"Lin Xiu was startled, because when he heard what he said, it turned out to be a woman's voice.

Sure enough, when the man turned around, he was indeed a woman.

The man was similar in nature to the forensic doctors of later generations.

But they were not eating food. Civil servants who are in the national job are supported by local yamen and government.

Generally speaking, in ancient times, widowers were often men, especially for respected elders.

It has never been heard of women..

Lin Xiu saw a look of surprise on his face and asked,"You said these people didn't commit suicide? what happened? Could it be that you found some clues?

The female widow smiled and nodded:"Master Marquis, the time of death of these people was not on the same day, and without exception, there were no injuries on their bodies!""

"Well, as you put it, it's not suicide, so what? Lin Xiu asked back

"Here's the problem. Although they didn't die on the same day, the expressions on their faces were exactly the same!"The female widow said.

When she finished speaking, she turned around and uncovered the straw mats covering the corpses.

Suddenly, corpses whose bodies were bloated and pale with water were all presented in front of Lin Xiu.

Tang Kai retched for a while, Lin Xiu quickly turned around and took a look.

Sure enough, as the man said, the corpses all had strange smiles on their faces.

This was indeed a bit strange, indicating that they did not commit suicide on the same day. Meet.

The fact that there were no injuries on their bodies meant that they were not forced or abused during their lifetime.

So

, the only suspicious thing left is that they all threw themselves into the river with a smile. Yes, people can end their lives by committing suicide. They often feel that the future is bleak and they have no hope of life. If they commit suicide, they often show pain on their faces.

, such a look of despair.

How could he smile?

Could it be relief? Lin Xiu frowned. He couldn't get the"soul out of body" skill until he found out this case. Go down to the underworld, find their ghosts, and ask what happened.

"In your opinion, why did they die? Lin Xiu asked

"This...can't be judged yet!"The female widow shook her head.

Lin Xiu turned around and looked at Tang Kai who was retching next to him.

"Mr.

Tang, this case is quite strange.

You first send people to bring these corpses back to the Yamen and put them aside for the time being.

Another person will investigate their identities, put up portraits and notices, look for their relatives, and check if they have been there recently.

Someone came to report missing.

Seeing that their bodies were soaked like this, I believe they had been dead for a long time.

Their family members, relatives and friends should have discovered it!

"Lin Xiu said.

Tang Kai didn't dare to neglect and nodded quickly.

Just when he turned around to give the order, something suddenly occurred to him.

"Mr. Hou, which yamen are these corpses going to be sent to?"Tang Kai asked

"Of course, the waste will be sent to your Jingzhao Mansion. Don’t forget, your Jingzhao Mansion is the local government office!"Lin Xiu said with eyes wide open.

Tang Kai had a grimace on his face.

He thought to himself that these corpses exude a foul smell.

How can they be inhabited if they are stored in Jingzhao Mansion?

But Lin Xiu said, he I didn't dare to refute, I could only grit my teeth and nod with tears in my eyes.

"What are you still doing? Carry these corpses away and take them back to Jingzhao Mansion!"Tang Kai ordered

"yes!"

Several government officials agreed and hurried forward.

However, at this moment,

Lin Xiu saw from a distance that there seemed to be a black cat not far away, hiding in a remote place, secretly looking over here. With a move in his heart, he went straight Quickly walked towards the black cat...
