Chapter 106 The Mistake Case

Yu He smirked: "It's not that you don't know the old man. He's a man of the yamen. How can he sit still when he encounters a case. After sending him to the post, he kept urging me to leave. How can I stay with him?" Here it comes."

"Hmm." Chu Xiaoyun nodded. This reminded him of the old seniors in the bureau in his previous life. When they heard about a case, no matter what they were doing at the time, they all rushed to the scene of the crime immediately.Regardless of ancient or modern times, people in this profession have the same professionalism.

"Nothing has been found so far. Now we are confirming the year of death and identity of this corpse. Just now we were talking about whether the bones will turn black after death." Chu Xiaoyun answered Yu He's previous question, and looked at the village while speaking. The chief looked at the old Wu Zuo again, "Sir, is it true what the village chief said just now?"

Seeing that they had finished speaking, the old scribe saw that Chu Xiaoyun asked another question before getting up and answering: "According to the records in "On Inspection" and the daily experience of the scribes, if a person dies from poisoning, if there is any dispute, it can be re-examined in seven days. After seven days, if the bones haven't turned black all over, it's because of food restraint, otherwise it's because of poisoning."

After the old man finished speaking, the village chief immediately said to Chao Chu Xiaoyun: "Back then the county government sent a foreman to come for an autopsy, and the boy's body waited for ten days before being buried. When he was buried, the bones were only a little yellow but not black. That’s how the coroners and yamen of the post-mortem closed the case back then. Because the young man died in our village, everyone was afraid of causing trouble, and the villagers also reported it to the government. There should be a record of this case in the yamen.”

Unexpectedly, although the flow of people in this village is relatively closed, it is quite protective in this respect.Since they have all reported to the officials, there must be no fakes.Chu Xiaoyun nodded, signaling the village chief to go on his own.

After the village chief left, Chu Xiaoyun looked at the villagers who came to repair the roof busy above their heads, but his mind fell into deep thought again.He still felt that something was strange, and it didn't make sense.After much deliberation, it finally fell on this time.Both the owner of the house and the owner of the skeleton died 20 years ago. Isn’t this timing too coincidental?

Chu Xiaoyun shared his thoughts with Yu He.

"It seems to be a bit too coincidental." Yu He said after thinking for a moment, "Captain, what are your plans?"

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the busy villagers above his head: "I want to open the coffin for an autopsy."

"Open the coffin for autopsy?" Yu He lost his voice.Realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly covered his mouth, "This doesn't seem very good, and the villagers may not agree."

This is indeed a bit disrespectful to the dead.Chu Xiaoyun recalled that this was ancient times after all, and people paid attention to burrowing into the soil for safety, and doing things like this might indeed arouse opposition from the villagers.But if the government really wants to do it, the villagers must not be able to stop it.But things haven't come to that point yet, let's do as the Romans do, and respect the customs of people in this era as much as possible.And just now the village head also said that when the owner died, the villagers at that time had already reported to the authorities.That being the case, it is not a bad idea to go back to the yamen and look through the files before making any plans.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun and Yu He rushed to the village chief's house again, and asked the village chief to talk to a few older villagers at the ancestral hall in the village.He wanted to know about the situation of the village and the relationship between the owner who lived here 20 years ago.The village chief invited the villagers, and Chu Xiaoyun sent the village chief away.

The overall situation that the villagers said was the same as what the village chief said, but Chu Xiaoyun still knew some details from it.

The owner of the house where the bones were stored escaped from the chaos on the border 20 years ago.He is friendly, shy, and collects herbs for a living; he doesn't have much contact with the original villagers, and he has never had any grudges with them; a friend he met when he was fleeing from a disaster travels more frequently.After coming to Baishui Village, he lived here for three years and died in a foreign land.After his death, that friend also reported to the authorities for him to track down the murderer; later, because the government found out that it was not a murder, but died of eating by mistake, the friend had to accept the reality, buried him with the help of the villagers and left with tears .He never showed his face in Baishui Village again.

From what I know, the owner of the abandoned house is quite ordinary.It is indeed embarrassing that he died at a young age, but there is nothing unusual about it, let alone any relationship with this poisoned dead bone.And from this conversation, Chu Xiaoyun also confirmed that the owner died 17 years ago, not 20 years ago.The dead bone parked in this dilapidated house now happened 20 years ago, and the time is not right.

I must have thought too much.

The death of the man with the bones was twenty years ago, a long time ago, and this Baishui village is relatively closed, with little movement of people, and they are all from the same village. Before the death of a boy from a foreign land, they would report to the authorities, but now they take the initiative to report to the authorities when they find the bones , presumably the villagers will not have any interest in this withered man.So before leaving, he told the village head to arrange someone to look after the dead bone, and make plans after checking the case file another day.Then he left with a group of arresters.

After being released from the yamen that day, all the arresters went to Baishui Village to handle the case. After being busy in the middle of the night, Chu Xiaoyun asked the arresters who wanted to go home to disband and go home, and those who wanted to go back to the yamen should go together.Thinking that it was too late and Su Wen was pregnant again, it was not suitable to travel long distances at night, Chu Xiaoyun decided not to go home today, but to stay overnight in the lounge of the dorm.

When Chu Xiaoyun returned to the small room, Su Wen had already fallen asleep.Looking at Su Wen's sleeping face, Chu Xiaoyun unconsciously remembered the dead bone he saw not long ago.Life is impermanent, cherishing the present and the people in front of him are his deepest insights.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chu Xiaoyun remembered that he was busy with work today, so before leaving, he gave Su Wen a brief overview of his situation today, and after making arrangements for Su Wen's day, he went to the signing office to refer to the incident of accidental eating 17 years ago case file.The people at the signing office searched for a long time in the warehouse where the files were kept, but they couldn't find the file that Chu Xiaoyun wanted.

Chu Xiaoyun, who couldn't wait, chased after him and asked, "There should be rules for storing your files, right? Do you remember the approximate location?"

The little official said: "Of course there is a rule. First, the year, then the nature of the case, and then the results of the case are stored in this order. Logically, it should be here, but this file shelf is not there."

"Is it destroyed in a long time?" Chu Xiaoyun was worried when he thought of this possibility, after all, it happened 17 years ago.

The little official at the signing office said: "If the time you provided is correct, it is impossible. According to my Dacheng law, all files, regardless of major or minor cases, except for special approval, are kept for 20 years. The case you mentioned It’s only 17 years old, it’s absolutely impossible to be destroyed.”

Hearing what the other party said, Chu Xiaoyun felt a little uneasy again.That case involved two points in time, 20 years ago and 17 years ago, so it couldn't have been destroyed in the wrong place.

"Is it possible to remember the wrong time and put it on another file shelf?" Chu Xiaoyun asked.

"Chu Butou suspects that our work procedures are chaotic?" the little official said dissatisfiedly.

"Of course it doesn't mean that. The accidental eating case in Baishui Village is an accident. I'm just worried that this kind of situation will not be classified as a general case..." Chu Xiaoyun was a little speechless because the speaker had no intention of listening. , more anxious.Why can't I find this file?

"Baishui village wrong food case?" A small official came in holding the file and asked, "Chu catcher, Zeng Shuli, are you looking for the wrong food case file in Baishui village 17 years ago?"

The two people whose names were called looked at him in unison: "You know?"

The little official said: "A few days ago, the master of the major asked us to sort out the files. That case seemed quite interesting, so I just looked at it twice, so I have a better impression."

"Have you seen it?" Chu Xiaoyun was pleasantly surprised, "Where is that file?"

The little official walked towards them quickly: "That file is placed on this filing shelf... Hey, why isn't it here?"

The place that the little official pointed to was exactly the place that Chu Xiaoyun and Zeng Shuli had searched for a long time before.

Chu Xiaoyun frowned when he heard the words: "When did you see it? It was placed here?"

The little official nodded affirmatively: "It was the day before yesterday. The major master said that the old files should be taken out to dry to prevent insects from growing. The location is right, but I don't know why it's not here now..."

Chu Xiaoyun said to Zeng Shuli, "Go and see the borrowing list of files in the warehouse."

Together, the three of them went through all the famous cars borrowed for the past three days. Each of them read it several times, but found no borrowing records, and no one had borrowed this file in the past few days.

Both the secretary Zeng and the junior official looked at Chu Xiaoyun anxiously.The file of the warehouse was lost, and after tracing it down, no one who guarded the warehouse could get away with it.

Chu Xiaoyun didn't have time to worry about others, he was thinking about something else.

Yesterday he was still thinking that the case was 20 years old, and there should be no interested parties. In addition, Baishui Village is so closed, the villagers reported the case to the government at the beginning, let alone What is the problem.Unexpectedly, reality slapped him hard.

At this moment, the case files related to it happened to be lost.

It seems that not only are there still stakeholders involved in this case, but they also knew about it so quickly, and the file was taken away so quickly.Chu Xiaoyun suddenly remembered the dead bone stored in Baishui Village, if it was just placed in the dilapidated house, would there be any problems?It seemed that the skeleton couldn't just be left in the village, and someone had to be sent to look at it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't stay any longer.He explained a few words to Zeng Shuli, hurriedly returned to the arresting room, transferred a few arresters, and hurried to Baishui Village.

Arriving at the dilapidated house where the dead bones are stored, the villagers guarding outside the house came forward to say hello: "Chu Butou."

After Chu Xiaoyun responded, he asked: "Everyone has worked hard, did nothing happen last night?"

The villagers said one after another: "It's okay, it's okay, we took turns guarding it, and didn't stay up all night. The village chief said you let someone guard it. We were guarding here last night, of course it's okay."

Chu Xiaoyun nodded in relief.He walked into the dilapidated house, lifted the white cloth covering the dead bone, and glanced at the dead bone lying on the wooden board.

Chu Xiaoyun's gaze wandered over the withered bone body, and then fixed on the withered bone's hand.After all, he was a criminal investigation major, and Chu Xiaoyun soon discovered that the withered bone was missing a piece of finger bone.

Chu Xiaoyun pointed to the missing finger bone and asked, "Why is there a missing finger bone here?"

The villagers stepped forward and looked at it strangely: "It's missing a piece. Did it disappear when it was dug out yesterday?"

Some villagers questioned.

"Impossible. The corpse was dug up yesterday and it was very complete. Although it was broken, it can be put together. I made sure of it." Chu Xiaoyun denied the villagers' statement without hesitation.

The villagers looked at each other after hearing the words: "It can't be lost last night, we were guarded by two people in shifts last night, and no one came. Besides, why would anyone steal this thing?"

Chu Xiaoyun covered the dry bones again with a white cloth, and quickly said to the following arresters: "From now on, guard this place, please never let such a thing happen again."

A finger bone has been lost, and the person who started to steal may have achieved his goal and will not come again.Chu Xiaoyun still hopes to make up for it, just in case.As a former criminal police officer, Chu Xiaoyun had to admit that his opponents would always take the first step.But it's not surprising that you want to come back.If criminals do not take the first step, there will be no crimes.

The author has something to say: the previous chapter has been revised and many plots have been added.Friends who have seen it before can look back.
