How to work

The White Pagoda has a total of thirteen floors, the first and second floors are the largest and have the most special construction techniques, with slightly protruding eaves.The eaves are not particularly wide, but they are smooth. For the sake of aesthetics, the corners are often upturned. It no longer looks like an eaves, but a bit like a beautiful and flat terrace. And this corpse is on the second floor eaves.

Shen Wansha fell from a high place, was rescued by He Lianyu without any risk, and hung upside down outside the three-story railing, his life was not in danger, and he was almost scared out of courage.

There is no other reason, but He Lianyu will have a 'kiss of death' with the corpse if he goes down a little further!

Most of the tourists who come to climb the White Tower are locals, and their purpose is very unified-climbing high and looking far away, feeling the beauty of the scenery, basically not stopping at the first few floors.As the fastest runner and the first one to stop and look outside the tower, Shen Wansha was the first to find the body, which is... not a surprise.

If this kind of thing happened in the temple, it must be reported to the government immediately. Before the official messenger came, the temple had no right to disperse the crowd, so it had to send more people to maintain order.The inner three floors and the outer three floors are gathered inside the east railing to watch the excitement. If you can't squeeze the front, go to the next floor, and if you can't squeeze it, go to the next floor.

Fortunately, today is not a special day, the number of pilgrims is small, and a few floors are enough to fill them up. The monks only need to come and watch, and the guests are not allowed to climb down to get close to the corpse.

Because of the relatively high level of relatives and friends and force value, Lu Li and Zhao Zhu stood together at the east railing on the third floor, side by side with Shen Wanshahe Lianyu, facing the corpse at the closest distance, and had an excellent view.

The dead body was female, lying on the side above the eaves of the second floor, with the left arm stretched out and under the head, the right arm bent outwards at the elbow, in an unnatural posture, the right cheek was scratched, and there was blood overflowing from the mouth and nose , the collar was undone, there were bruises on the neck, and the skirt was disheveled, revealing a small piece of calf... There were flies flying around the corpse, looking very embarrassed.

"Tsk tsk... how pitiful." A crowd of onlookers lamented, "In such hot weather, the body is not rotten, it looks like a new death."

"That's right." A man in Tsing Yi clasped his beard with his hands behind his back, and said in a slow voice, "After being raped, she was strangled to death and pushed down from the tower. This girl's life is really hard." Serene and compassionate, much like an expert in the world.

The crowd was in an uproar, and there were countless sighs.Immediately afterward, someone asked for advice, "Sir, do you know death testing?"

The man waved his hand, "I don't dare to say I understand, I haven't learned from the master, but I just read a lot of test cases and have some experience."

The masses are never short of curiosity about mysterious and strange events, especially at this time and place, temples, female corpses, and men's speculations.

The middle-aged man seemed to be waiting for someone to ask this question. He smiled slightly, and pointed at the deceased with his beard-struck finger, "The corpse's dress is messy, the skin is exposed, and there are hidden bruises. It is obvious that it has been brutally brutalized by the wicked. The pipa buttons on the clothes are a little loose." Open, some fastenings are tight, it must be that the villain has a guilty conscience, untied the woman's clothes and did evil things, fearing that people would see them and fasten them back indiscriminately, due to some negligence in a hurry. The neck of the corpse was red, swollen and black, and the neck was strangled violently Furthermore, there are no obvious fatal injuries on the corpse... Overall, it is obvious that the corpse was strangled to death after being raped, and the corpse was discarded."

"Oh..." Everyone suddenly realized, and sighed, the woman is really pitiful.

The middle-aged man sighed deeply, and said again, "This woman was murdered yesterday, as long as the government investigates the people who entered the temple yesterday, there will be gains."

"Mr. is right..."

"Mister is really a great talent..."

Many words of praise came from the crowd of the audience, and some even bluntly said, "It's a pity that Mr. is so powerful that he doesn't enter the public school. With Mr.'s help, the government will solve the case just around the corner!"

The middle-aged man bowed his hands humbly, "Everyone loves me, but I dare not accept it. The government has its own talents. Although I read a lot, I like the clouds and wild cranes, and I am at ease..."

"Sir, don't be humble..."

"Learning literary and martial arts, selling to the emperor's house, you have talent, you should display it, so that your knowledge will not be wasted!"

……

The words of praise continued, the middle-aged man blushed, his voice became more and more excited under the praise of everyone, and finally he sighed quietly, "Men have lofty ambitions. Although I like to hide in the mountains, if I can do something for Great Xia It is also a great honor to contribute, but... I don’t know if the government will want me.”

"Mr. is so powerful, you can know the truth at a glance, why would the government not want it? Mister must not lose confidence!"

"That's it!"

……

Shen Wansha rolled his eyes.

A long time passed, and he had shaken off his fear, and leaned against the railing to wait for the government officials to come over, but he still held Lu Li's hand tightly, not daring to let go.

When he heard the middle-aged man talk, he didn't want to pay attention at first, because this man behaved like a person who has no skills and is trying to gain fame.Moreover, this man's vision is also narrow, so what's the beneficial meaning and value of mobilizing a bunch of commoners to agree with him, except for the satisfaction of vanity?

But this man kept talking and talking, and in the end he wanted to call everyone to speak for him, and wait for the people from the government to come in a while so that he can intervene smoothly. He, all the works in the world are inferior to him!

When his little friend is dead!

Shen Wansha felt that he supported all those who worked hard to support themselves, but this man obviously couldn't do it!And this kind of public opinion appreciation should belong to Xiao Lizi!

So he coughed loudly twice, looked at Lu Li, "Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

Hearing Shen Wansha's loud voice, and seeing him winking quietly, Lu Li sighed softly, and squeezed Shen Wansha's hand as punishment.

He really doesn't want to fight with people.

Not to mention that it is a bit far away, and the reading may not be accurate. After a while, when the government officials arrive, they will have a definite result after careful inspection. There is no need to explain to the audience, and there is no need to compete with others.An autopsy is a very serious matter. It is the interpretation of the last language of the dead left in the world, and it is the key to help the dead get justice. It must be cautious and respectful. Such things should not be used as a tool for fighting.

Shen Wansha curled his lips, is he just not convinced!

Hearing Shen Wansha call a young man Mr., everyone was a little curious and whispered, "This is also a Mr.?" "What Mr.?" "What do you do?"

The buzzing continued, Shen Wansha bumped into Lu Li, and urged in a low voice, "Actually, I'm also curious, is this girl really so miserable?"

Lu Li looked at the deceased with downcast eyebrows and quiet eyes, "No matter how a woman in the Mood for Love dies, it is a tragedy in the world."

"Is she really...really... raped and strangled to death?" Shen Wansha bit her lip slightly, feeling a little unbearable.

Lu Li shook his head, "It's just from a distance, so I can't be sure."

When everyone heard Shen Wansha's words, their ears perked up, and now they all laughed lightly when they heard Lu Li's words, "I can't be sure..." Still not as good as this gentleman, he is rich in knowledge and experience."

The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hands, "Hey everyone, don't worry, give young people a chance. Children are willing to learn, we need to encourage them more, otherwise we will scare the children and don't want to learn. The loss is our Great Xia Dynasty. Well."

After he finished speaking, he walked towards Lu Li, "Little friend, what do you think, you can say whatever you want, right or wrong, we won't laugh at you."

Lu Li frowned slightly, he now felt that something was wrong with this person...why did he seem to want to step on him as a stepping stone?

He subconsciously glanced at Zhao Zhu.

Zhao Zhu's eyes were about to burst into flames. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many people here now, he would probably start a killing spree right away!

Lu Li quickly held Zhao Zhu's hand, and shook his head slightly at him.

The sweetheart is an anti-social element, always wants to kill, and has done it in front of him more than once, if not restrained, it will be worse!

Zhao Zhu, as King Ping, of course knew the seriousness. Killing a person, no matter who it was, even an ant, required the right timing and reason, otherwise it would be very troublesome to deal with the consequences.

He would not kill an unarmed civilian in broad daylight and in full view, even though he was a hateful person.

But with his wife's little hands, he said it was very cool.

Shen Wansha was also very upset, he felt that this middle-aged man was too crazy, he was not pleasing to the eye, it was good to embarrass him a little bit, but this man dared to bully Xiao Lizi, he must not bear it!

And it felt like he was recruited because of his talkativeness!

The young master was very unhappy, and raised his eyebrows, "Who are you, dare to talk to the young master like that!"

This was considered a public outrage, and everyone unanimously condemned Shen Wansha for not being polite, not knowing how to respect the elders at a young age, being outspoken, and fearing that the future will not be very good, etc.

The middle-aged man smiled wryly and spread his hands, repeatedly saying that it's okay, he should care for the children, give them some confidence in society, and don't be too harsh...

Shen Wansha was about to explode in anger, He Lianyu pulled him back, and raised his eyelids lazily, "The untouchables challenge the nobles, the nobles don't punish them, they just remind them, with such kindness, the untouchables dare to speak wild words... Tsk tsk, This will change our tribe, the untouchables dare to be disrespectful, and they will be sentenced to death immediately!"

In a feudal society, the power classes were clearly divided, and the superiors had absolute control over the people below them with the power of life and death, so this sentence was so powerful that it almost crushed it immediately.

Everyone didn't dare to speak immediately, and carefully looked at the slightly angry young master in front of him, and the three people with him.

All of them are handsome in appearance, with outstanding postures, and the materials of their clothes... they don't even know each other. No matter their temperament or other things, it shows that these few people are of good status, and they are not something they can mess with.

……

Everyone was speechless, Lu Li understood that he was frightened, and he might not be convinced.

He patted Shen Wansha with a smile, and said loudly, "This girl's right arm is distorted and deformed. It should be fractured. If she fell like this, she must have fallen from a high place, and the impact was very strong when she fell here."

He pointed to the deceased on the eaves, "Such high-fall injuries have several common features. First, there will be local abrasions and contusions on the skin, and sometimes there is no obvious physical damage, but the internal organs are seriously injured, and most of them are accompanied by internal rupture. , vascular bleeding, fractures and other serious injuries.”

"Secondly, under the impact of gravity, the clothes will be torn, the buckle will be disengaged, and the trousers will be cracked and the shoes will fall."

"Third, because the posture is uncontrollable when landing, if the head lands first, it must be accompanied by neck injury, and this kind of injury is often mistaken for a pinch mark by the uninformed. Only by observing the subcutaneous wound closely can we detect whether it is man-made or accidental. .”

The scene was immediately quiet, and after a while there was a whisper, "Isn't it true that what this gentleman said just now is all wrong..."

The middle-aged man's face immediately turned blue.

"What I said just now is a common manifestation of high-fall injuries. As long as the death is high-fall, it will definitely meet." Lu Li looked calm, "The deceased was a woman, and the death time did not exceed one day. There is a high possibility of encountering evil incidents. , but without a detailed autopsy, it is impossible to accurately determine the cause of death, the experience before death, let alone conjecture without evidence, and use these conjectures to attract attention and grandstanding."

Lu Li looked around the scene for a week, and said in a low voice, "The deceased was killed, and his appearance is pitiful. It is normal for everyone to hurt others, and it is normal to feel heartbroken. But if you don't distinguish between black and white, and let others instigate, leading to unjust cases, it is unintentional. It is really not advisable to be an accomplice of a murderer."

Everyone looked at the corpse on the eaves, and then at Lu Li with a serious face, they all sighed and said nothing more.Some even covered their faces with their sleeves, feeling ashamed.

Even the middle-aged man who was trying to show off before retreated behind everyone.

It was solved so easily, Shen Wansha was very happy, and winked at Lu Li triumphantly.He was happy, and of course He Lianyu was also in a good mood, scratching his nose and making fun of him for not being able to hold his breath.

Zhao Zhu's brows also relaxed a little, this guy retreated sensiblely, he listened to his wife's words, spared his life and didn't kill him.

Lu Li felt...was it a little too easy?This middle-aged man was so obvious before, he retreated immediately after analyzing Gao Chuan's death, how timid he was?According to common sense, it should be hard to pinch a few words.

He looked for the figure of the man in the crowd, to see where he was going to retreat, but the crowd was separated... The government officials came.

The officials immediately evacuated the crowd, they could no longer stand guard in front of the railings, and they couldn't stay on the tower if they didn't want to leave, they rushed directly to the outside of the tower.Shen Wansha, who was the first to discover the scene, naturally stayed with his friends and told about the process of discovering the corpse.

The police officers recorded the situation on the scene, helped the government office to go over, and conducted a preliminary inspection.

This patriarch, surnamed Li, is in his 40s and is very thin. There is a very heavy "Chuan" pattern between his eyebrows, and his expression is very serious.

Because the matter just now was too lively, Shen Wansha took out Lu Li's foreman's wooden plaque again, and the foreman surnamed Li invited Lu Li to do an autopsy together.

The results came out quickly. The woman died from a high fall without any trace of rape, but there were many defensive injuries on her arms, and skin tissue remained in her nails. It was obvious that she had fought fiercely with someone before she was alive.

Zhao Zhu touched the woman's bones, this woman does not know martial arts, and the stalking has no rules.To be able to cause so many self-defense injuries, the time of fighting with the opponent must not be too short, so the person fighting with him will not be very strong.

The deceased was taller than ordinary women, with a medium build, neither fat nor thin, and the person who was beating her must not be far behind her in strength and stature.

The detectives searched for traces all the way up, and found traces of blood on the east railing of the twelfth floor, as well as obvious scratches, which looked like they had been grabbed to death.There are still dusty footprints on the railing, as if someone has stepped on it...

So the facts are obvious, the deceased should have fought with someone on the twelfth floor of the White Tower, maybe he couldn't beat the opponent, maybe it was an accident and fell out.The deceased grabbed the railing in desperation, but the other party stepped on her hand, forcing her to let go, causing her to fall to her death.

So this is not a suicide, or an accident, but a deliberate killing.

To find the murderer, we need to start from two aspects. One is to investigate the identity and social relationship of the deceased; the other is to investigate all the pilgrims at the White Pagoda Temple yesterday, especially the pilgrims who have been to the White Pagoda.

Neither of these should be too difficult.Judging by the style of the deceased’s clothing, he should be a local. The White Pagoda is only open for a little over two hours a day. When it is closed, there are many monks and pilgrims outside the pagoda. Died at night, it shows that the pilgrims did not come out when the White Tower was locked. Compared with the pilgrims who came in and out, it is easy to find them.

Lu Li thinks that this is not a major case, and that the difficulty in solving the case is mainly in the government office. The policemen are dedicated and do not help much in the autopsy. Liu Butou, who came to investigate, looks capable and capable. Although Mr. Li invited him to do the autopsy, The technology is also good, and he can see everything that needs to be seen, and neither of them wants to ask him to continue to help, so he can't ask for it with the cheek.

Furthermore, Shen Wansha also felt that the case was not serious, so he dragged him to play elsewhere, and Zhao Zhu didn't want him to be too tired...

Lu Li had no choice but to express with Li Yuzuo and Liu Butou that it was a pity that he could not participate in solving the case, but as a cooperator, he was unavoidably obsessed with the case. If the case is solved, please send a letter to him. If there is any need, or If it can't be broken for a long time, it must be let him know...

It was meal time, everyone was hungry, Shen Wansha dragged the reluctant Lu Li away, Dabai didn't keep up for a long time, sniffed and sniffed the corpse that was carried down, until Zhao Zhu was dissatisfied and whistled, it jumped up Fly over here.

There were a lot of onlookers outside the tower, and they also heard some rumors during the autopsy. When they saw Lu Li and his party coming, they couldn't help admiring: Sure enough, a hero is born in a young age. Although he is young, he can't be underestimated.

Lu Li raised his head and looked for the figure of the middle-aged man in the crowd, but unfortunately he couldn't find it.

Zhao Zhu pinched the back of his neck, "What are you looking for?"

"That man just now..." Lu Li muttered softly, "I always feel something is wrong."

"I'll help you find it." Just as Zhao Zhu agreed, his face darkened again. He half hugged and half pushed Lu Li forward, biting Lu Li's ear at an angle that others couldn't see, "You man is here, how dare you?" Miss another man? Huh?"

How could Lu Li think that with so many people, Zhao Zhu would dare to go crazy?His face turned red immediately, he gritted his teeth and tore apart Zhao Zhu who was clinging to him, "Stay away from me!"

Zhao Zhu admired Lu Li's shy expression, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, he rushed forward and hugged Lu Li tightly, "...don't even think about it in this life."

……

In this way, several people had an extremely fulfilling and extremely tiring day.

When he came back at night, Hong You suddenly appeared, walked up to Zhao Zhu and whispered a few words.

Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Is there news from the Huai family?"

Zhao Zhu nodded, his eyes swept over Shen Wansha who looked expectant, and looked at Lu Li who was reading with a scroll.

Until Lu Li put down the book and looked over helplessly, "Let's talk."

Zhao Zhu gritted his teeth and said slowly, "There is indeed news..."

It is true that Huaideshui has an excellent official reputation outside, and he has never done anything extraordinary in his tenure, but recently encountered a difficult problem, and someone wanted to call Taicang Yin.Huaideshui is a fourth-rank local official. Those who are higher than him are all Shangguan, and they have some connections and debts. The person who wants to transfer Taicang Yin this time is someone he can't refuse.

This person made it clear that he was short of money recently and wanted to borrow Taicang Bank for emergency, and he would return it within two months without causing any trouble to Huaideshui.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the officialdom. Some small counties in charge of the Taicang Bank simply move the silver to their homes to make money by borrowing it. When it is time to take inventory every quarter, they put it back on time, and they can get it out when there is a transfer order. , There will be no problem with political performance and official reputation.

For a long time, Guan Taicang has been a fat job, he can fatten himself, and he can also use the opportunity to fatten up his relationship network. In short, a person with ability will definitely have a good harvest in this position.

Sitting in this position, it's impossible for Huaideshui not to have done such a thing before, but this time it's different.

This time, he not only couldn't refuse the person who asked for a loan, but the amount was quite large, and he almost emptied Taicang Bank.He was not afraid that this person would not return it, but he was worried that the news would leak out, and the person watching him would take the opportunity to make trouble, and then he would get an official document that had to be transferred to Taicang Bank, and it would be bad if he couldn't get it out.

If the deadly enemy takes the opportunity to set up a net, not to mention how many levels the official will be demoted, dismissed from office and sent to prison, the family business may be ruined.

The news brought by Hong You said that Huaideshui didn't have much time to think about it, only four days.

And this matter, Mrs. White already knew.

At present there is a solution, use Mrs. Huai's dowry silver instead of Taicang silver to lend out, and at the same time put some fake news to lure people into the urn, not only will not be attacked by the deadly enemy, but also can counter the deadly enemy.

But the amount of money is huge, if Mrs. Hua agrees, all the dowry money will have to be used up.If everything goes well, that's fine, if the silver can't come back...

If Mrs. Hua disagrees, Huaideshui may be in trouble, and the relationship between the two of them can be imagined; if Mrs. Hua agrees, how much love for Huaideshui and how much Huaideshui will have to give for comfort , Moreover, Mrs. Huai has a lot of business in her hands, and she has less cash turnover...

There are things everywhere.

After Zhao Zhu finished explaining the news, Shen Wansha happily shook his fan, "So, let's just wait for them to decide?"

If Madam Ruohuai disagrees, the officialdom is turmoil, creating a crisis, King Ping is a good hand, does Madam Ruohuai agree... Shen Wansha will be the one to set off the turmoil in the business world!
