Doctor, you are so cold

After some evasion, Ning Wuxin and Master Wei sat down in the hall behind the county government office.

Zhao's mother was also given a seat, and Meng Lian stood behind Zhao's mother, both of them were a little trembling, not knowing what happened.

Ning Wuxin had a detached and polite smile on his face. After giving way, he picked up the tea and drank it slowly while thinking about how to make this Wei Ruzheng spit out the truth.

Who is giving him convenience behind?

The first person that appeared in Ning Wuxin's mind was, of course, the guy who he had forgotten and never forgotten.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't expect it.

Did he really come after him?

Even though he tried so hard to hide, he still chased after him?

He clearly knew that the two of them could not be together, but the desire to see each other couldn't be stopped no matter what.

Ning Wuxin sighed slightly in her heart.

What if we meet each other?

Could it be that he sneaked a few times before running away?

How uncomfortable...

If you want to break it, you must break it cleanly, so that you can have regrets in your heart for the rest of your life.

There are regrets, only misses.

Only when there is nostalgia, I feel that the relationship is beautiful.

Procrastinating, disconnected, sooner or later a relationship will be dragged to pieces.

Lord Wei smiled, "I wonder when Doctor Yan thinks the prisoner should be interrogated?"

Ning Wuxin said, "The grassroots should not be in his position and not seek his own government, but I don't know why the lord called the grassroots to assist this case?"

Just now Wei Ruzheng said that he was asked to help solve the case.

He also wanted to know how much authority this "assistance" had.

Wei Ruzheng thought for a while, then smiled, "The famous doctor Yan is famous far and wide, and I come here because of his reputation. I would like to ask the doctor to preside over this case."

The fame spreads far and wide to your sister...

He is a pseudonym, when in his life did he hear it?

Ning Wuxin thought, this old fox might not want to talk about it.

However, his last sentence is very important.

This shows that someone must be putting pressure on him behind his back to preside over the case himself.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to respect a commoner like himself so much.

The future is long, everyone will wait and see.

Ning Wuxin said, "So, the case is urgent, why not talk about the corpse first."

Wei Ruzheng quickly nodded in agreement, and sent someone to summon Wu Zuo.

After Wu Zuo came, he respectfully submitted the autopsy transcript.

Ning Wuxin read the information carefully, and confirmed that it was the same as what he had observed, but it was still not detailed enough.

He asked, "I wonder what the adults think of the case?"

Wei Ruzheng looked calm, he must have already made sufficient preparations.

Hearing Ning Wuxin's question, he immediately said, "This man's clothes are not neat, I'm afraid he was dressed in a hurry. He has several deep stab wounds on his back, which should be fatal. I speculate that he might be sleeping in the middle of the night. When I was awakened by the thieves, I was hacked to death by the thieves when I hurriedly put on my clothes and fled."

"Your Excellency, you mean that someone entered his house, woke him up while he was sleeping, chased him to the woods, and hacked him to death?"

"Exactly."

"It's clearly written here, this man's penis has a stench, probably the remnants of semen."

Wei Ruzheng thought about it, "This shows that he had sex with others before going to bed, and it's nothing."

Ning Wuxin said slowly, "Cao Min checked his body in the early morning of the day he died. Most people would wash or wipe it after having sex, but the stench was so strong that it didn't seem like there was a person at all. dealt with."

Wei Ruzheng was taken aback.

Ning Wuxin said again, "Niu Laojiu's clothes were buttoned incorrectly and his socks were not on. It is reasonable to say that he dressed in a hurry. However, the belt of his trousers is very tight. I'm afraid that if I can strangle him, it will hurt him, which is a bit strange."

Wei Ruzheng said, "The miracle doctor means..."

Ning Wuxin finally said, "One last point. If this person was hacked before his death, he would definitely bleed profusely, and his clothes would also be stained with blood. But that morning, Niu Laojiu's blood flowed very little."

Wei Ruzheng's expression turned ugly, "So..."

"The waistband of the trousers is so tight, which means that it is very likely that someone else tied it for him. There is a lot of residual semen, which means that this person may be having sex. There is not much blood flowing out of the body, and it is likely that it was cut after death."

Wei Ruzheng's face brightened, "You mean, it's going to be windy right away?"

Ning Wuxin nodded, "This man died during the intercourse. After he died, the person who had intercourse with him panicked, put on his clothes in a hurry, threw him into the grove, and chopped him up again. A few knives."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mother Zhao and Menglian, "It's that simple. So, Zhao Mengqing is definitely not the murderer."

Mother Zhao covered her face and burst into tears.

Although Meng Lian didn't understand some things, she was very happy to see that her brother would not be wronged.

Wei Ruzheng's face sank, and he ordered loudly, "Go and bring Niu Laojiu's monogamy and concubine for interrogation!"

Ning Wuxin hurriedly said, "Whether it's a wife or concubine, it's hard to say. Caomin plans to go to Niujia Village and settle the case there."

Wei Ruzheng quickly said yes, and ordered the servants to release Zhao Mengqing, and said to Ning Wuxin, "So, the genius doctor will go back to the inn to prepare, and leave after lunch?"

Ning Wuxin agreed, and took Zhao's mother and Menglian away from the county government office.

As soon as they arrived at the small inn, Zhao's mother and Meng Lian knelt down, kept kowtowing, and said "benefactor" and "noble man" one by one, crying non-stop, Ning Wuxin hurriedly helped the two of them up.

Not long after, Zhao Mengqing was also released, and the three of them wept, needless to elaborate.

After lunch, Master Wei came to look for Ning Wuxin, and the group headed for Niujiazhuang.

——————————————————————————————————————

With the county magistrate in charge, things are naturally much easier to investigate.

However, Niu Laojiu's one wife, one child and one concubine insisted that they did not have sex with him that night, and Niu Laojiu's family also claimed that they never heard anything.

Wei Ruzheng said, "Diao Fu, from this point of view, she will be served with a severe punishment."

Several people were frightened to death immediately, scrambling to reveal that Niu Laojiu had been related to the Xing family in the village for a long time.

Niu Laojiu's livestock business has been booming in the past few years, and he has a little fortune.

Xing Shi is only 23 years old, and he is quite pretty, but his own man is very useless, he works as a chauffeur for Niu Laojiu to help him drive a car.

Although Niu Laojiu is over 50 years old, but seeing Qian's eyes open, Xing flirted with him, and hooked up with him a long time ago.

In order to survive, her man not only dared not stop her, but instead guarded the door for the two of them, desperately trying to please Niu Laojiu.

Wei Ruzheng ordered people to bring the two of them, and found many gifts from Niu Laojiu in her house.

Under coercion, the two immediately cried on the ground and revealed the truth.

Sure enough, Niu Laojiu went to Xing's house that night.

Xing cried, "That night, the old man kept saying he was a little nauseous and his stomach was uncomfortable. I said I wouldn't do it tonight, but he refused. When he was in a mood, he went crazy and scared me to death. In the end, he twitched endlessly. , just died."

The man interjected, "My mother-in-law kept screaming in fright. I hesitated for a long time, rushed inside, and found that Master Jiu had fallen dead on the ground. We panicked and didn't know what to do. I remembered that night when Zhao Mengqing and After the quarrel, Master Jiu seemed to have gone to the grove, intending to blame him for this matter. After discussing, we put clothes on Master Jiu, dragged him to the woods, chopped him a few times, and threw firewood The knife was thrown across the wall into Zhao's courtyard."

Wei Ruzheng heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Ning Wuxin, "The genius doctor is really clever."

Ning Wuxin looked at the two, but felt a little strange in her heart.

Immediate wind is not such a symptom.

He frowned and said, "Niu Laojiu really said that he was nauseated and had abdominal pain, and also went mad and convulsed?"

Xing quickly responded.

Ning Wuxin lowered her head and said nothing.

Wei Ruzheng was already a little impatient, he just wanted to close the case as soon as possible, but now this is his limit, what else is he going to do?

However, he had to take good care of this handsome young man in front of him.

Who told people to have a backstage?

Wei Ruzheng said cautiously, "I don't know what else the genius doctor has to worry about?"

Ning Wuxin shook his head and said, "I also...have no worries. Why don't you take these two into custody first."

Wei Ruzheng couldn't wait to hear this, so he quickly agreed and ordered the Yamen servants to imprison the two men.

He said to Ning Wuxin, "I don't know if the genius doctor will follow the officials back to the county office, or stay in Niujiazhuang?"

Ning Wuxin thought for a while, it was useless to go to the county government office, she might as well stay here and think about it.

He said, "My lord, go back first. If I think of anything, ask Zhao Mengqing to find you."

Wei Ruzheng was impatient in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his face, he nodded in agreement quickly, and left with the prisoner and the heavy yamen servant.

——————————————————————————————————————

In the evening, the Zhao family rejoiced as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Zhao's mother killed chickens to buy meat, and treated Ning Wuxin well, so it was natural.

After the meal, Zhao Mengqing bowed to Ning Wuxin three times and nine times, thanking him for saving his life.

Ning Wuxin felt the joy of the family and smiled.

This knowing smile was his first in a month.

When it was time to go to bed, the three members of the Zhao family had already laid down in their own rooms, but Ning Wuxin couldn't fall asleep.

There is something strange about this case.

The way Niu Laojiu died was a bit unusual.

Are you overthinking yourself?Or is there something suspicious?

Ning Wuxin was thinking, when she suddenly heard a slight opening of the door in the yard.

He was startled, and quickly looked out of the window, only to see a dark figure walking in.

When Ning Wuxin saw this black shadow, she felt a little strange.

The black figure didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, it just stood quietly by the wall.

Suddenly, the black shadow ran out.

Ning Wuxin's heart was beating violently.

He has never been a timid person. Could it be that this person knew some clues and wanted to tell him, but didn't dare?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran out with fear.

The black shadow was waiting for him not far outside the yard, and when he saw him coming, he ran away immediately.

Ning Wuxin followed behind, feeling weird, as if this figure was somewhat familiar.

The black shadow arrived at the gate of a courtyard, and somehow, he turned around the corner and disappeared.

Ning Wuxin stood in front of the yard.

He knows this yard.

Zhao Mengqing was locked up in this yard for three days, and he and Menglian came to deliver meals for him.

This is the yard of Niu Yizhong, the steward of Niujiazhuang.

Ning Wuxin thought about the black shadow just now, and his heart was agitated. This person was probably here to deliver news to him.

What exactly does Niu Yizhong need to investigate?

———————————————————————————————————————————

Early the next morning, Ning Wuxin and Zhao Mengqing came to the county government office, and asked Wei Ruzheng for a few police officers and government officials, and everyone split up.

On the one hand, Ning Wuxin sent someone to investigate Niu Laojiu's business in the county and Niu Yizhong's whereabouts in the past few days.

On the other hand, Ning Wuxin asked the police to go back to Niujia Village, pretending to inquire about Xing's affairs, but actually inquiring about Niu Yizhong's affairs in the past few days.

After such an investigation, it turned out that there was a problem in the investigation.

In the village, Niu Yizhong took over Niu Laojiu's business in the name of the future of Niujia Village.

On the day Niu Laojiu died, Niu Yizhong also sent people to meet up with Niu Laojiu's customers in several counties, saying that Niu Laojiu had died and he would be responsible for his business in the future.

Ning Wuxin thought, this Niu Yizhong is really not innocent, maybe he was planning a long time ago.

Niu Laojiu's death may have a lot to do with him.

So, Ning Wuxin brought the servants to Niu Laojiu's house again to inquire about the news.

"On the day your ninth master died, what did you eat, count them one by one."

Niu Laojiu's wife, Yuan Shi, quickly listed all the food Niu Laojiu ate that day.

She couldn't remember some things clearly, and the others hurriedly filled them in.

After Ning Wuxin listened to them one by one, she felt nothing unusual.

Could it be that someone gave him something to eat while he was not paying attention?

At this time, one of Niu Laojiu's assistants had a troubled look on his face, but he dared not speak up.

Ning Wuxin noticed the guy who was sweating coldly, and frowned, "What did you think of? Anything is fine, just say it!"

The buddy said, "On the day when Master Jiu died, he bragged to me that he could save ten daughters at night. I didn't believe it, so he said that he had a fairy medicine, let me ask Mrs. Xing. I said he was lying, unless I asked Look at the elixir. Then, he took out a small bottle and said it was the elixir given to him by Steward Niu. I used it last time, and I was so ecstatic, I asked him for it again this time, planning to use it at night."

Ning Wuxin was excited, "Where's the medicine? They're all used up? Hurry up and find the medicine!"

The catcher quickly told everyone to get busy.

Ning Wuxin paced back and forth in the room, unable to calm down.

Who was that person in the night last night? !

Could it be him? !

If it was him, why was he hiding and refusing to see him? !

Obviously he wanted to hide from him, so he should pounce on him!

why? !

The arresters searched for a long time, and came to Ning Wuxin, "Find this vial."

The guy immediately said, "That's right! It's this vial!"

Ning Wuxin opened the bottle, it was already empty, with only a little remnant left.

He poured the remaining powder into his hand and watched.

Sure enough, this thing is digitalis.

There is no need to elaborate on what happened next.

Digitalis can cause heart attacks and sudden death. It is a kind of drug that can kill people invisible.

Ning Wuxin immediately reported the matter to Wei Ruzheng.

After investigation, Niu Yizhong really bought digitalis at the county drugstore.

Coupled with the buddy's confession, this man was afraid of severe punishment, so he fell on the ground and confessed all of them.

Niu Yizhong was very greedy for Niu Laojiu's business a long time ago and wanted to replace it.

So, he tried his best to get close to him, knowing that there was something wrong with his intercourse, so he gave him good medicine several times.

Niu Laojiu got interesting, trusted him more and got closer to him.

From then on, when Niu Yizhong gave him medicine again, he no longer doubted it.

In this way, Niu Laojiu was killed.

——————————————————————————————————————

At this point, the matter was finally resolved satisfactorily.

Wei Ruzheng sent Ning Wuxin away like a Buddha.

Ning Wuxin walked back and forth in Niujiazhuang for a long time, but she never saw that black shadow again.

Early the next morning, Ning Wuxin bid farewell to the three members of the Zhao family, but her eyes flicked around, expecting something vaguely in her heart.

However, nothing appears.

Among the three members of the Zhao family, Meng Lian was very reluctant to give up, with tears in her eyes, the other two saw it, but they couldn't persuade her.

The girl is just beginning to fall in love, but people are not interested in her, so what else is there to say?

Meng Lian held a pair of shoes, "Benefactor, I sewed these for you, please accept them."

Embarrassment appeared on the faces of the other two, but they couldn't stop it.

Girls from other families are always coy and ask others to ask tentatively, but their family is different, they are so thick-skinned, they insist on asking themselves.

Ning Wuxin was also in a difficult situation.

These days, taking a pair of shoes from a girl and not marrying her is almost like a heartbreaker.

He was ruthless, "I already have shoes, and there are... people waiting at home. If they see that I have new shoes, I'm afraid they will shoot me to death."

Meng Lian endured the tears that swirled in her eyes, and really wanted to ask her sister-in-law if she could accommodate another one, but she also knew that she was too unreserved, so she pulled Mother Zhao's sleeve and started to cry.

Ning Wuxin showed embarrassment, thought for a while, pulled Zhao Mengqing aside, and took out something in his hand, "This thing is Cordyceps sinensis. I found it on the road when I was leaving a few days ago. You may not know that this thing is in the The capital is extremely expensive, and it can be sold for a good price. You...you can make a living in this business in the future, and find a good home for Menglian in the future."

When Mengqing heard it, his face was extremely shocked.

He forced himself to calm down, "Grandfather, our Zhao family will remember your great kindness and virtue. Take care of yourself, and don't forget us if it will be useful to us in the future."

Ning Wuxin thought, you don't even know my real name, so let's talk about it later.

He waited for a long time and let out a long sigh.

That person will not appear.

What are you looking forward to?

What if I saw him?

It was obvious that I wanted to avoid him, did I regret it again?

Thinking of this, he bid farewell to the Zhao family for the last time and got into the carriage.

Menglian was still crying, Mother Zhao wiped her tears, and Zhao Mengqing knelt on the ground.

Ning Wuxin smiled slightly, feeling a little sour in her heart.

Everyone has a home.

Where is my home?

The only person who wanted to give himself a home, but pushed himself away.

He shook the long whip in his hand, and the two horses neighed, and began to pull the carriage forward, continuing to go west all the way.
