"Dad, you misunderstood, I want to give it to Brother Hugo!" Aning said.
"Ning'er, what do you think you are because of me? Even if I can get out alive, how can I have the face to see your mother?!" Yang Erwu said excitedly.
Yang Tong scratched his hair: "Dad, it's a long story, so so..."
With that said, Yang Tong explained the whole story. Only then did Yang Erwu realize that he even knelt down to Li Yuguo: "Thank you Mr. Li for not killing me! It's because we two children are ignorant. I didn't expect that." You repay kindness with kindness and help this old bone of mine..."
"Senior, you are serious. When I came here, I wanted to ask about the general situation. Is there anything strange while transporting the goods?" Li Huguo said.
Yang Erwu was stunned and said slowly: "These goods were transported from the capital at that time, but it is strange to say that the draft of military pay ships is generally very deep when transported, but when we transported them, the draft was very shallow. , as if it was just an empty box inside, and then the people who robbed the food and wages appeared, all of them had kind-looking faces, and they seemed not to want to call them thieves... "
"Kind eyebrows and kind eyes?" Li Yuguo asked puzzledly, "Since the people who robbed the escort must be gangsters, how can they have kind eyebrows and kind eyes?"
"So there is something fishy in this." Yang Erwu said, he smiled calmly, "But these things are not important now. It is better for me to be locked up here alone than for the whole family to suffer. It is a pity that the mother of my two children, listen After seeing the incident, I couldn’t think about it for a moment…”
Li Yuguo already knew about Yang Erwu’s wife’s hanging. Li Yuguo said: “Senior, with all due respect, I’m afraid these people who kidnapped the escorts are members of the Chamber of Commerce. After all, the waterways you took are not the main waterways, they are all in remote areas. .”
"But I have no evidence, so who can I identify?" Yang Erwu said helplessly.
Li Huguo said again: "Think carefully, are you going to let Aning's mother die in vain first?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Erwu was shocked. He gritted his teeth and said, "There is one thing that is particularly strange. The people who originally shipped the goods to us were all members of the royal family, but this time they are members of the five major families."
"I understand." Li Huguo narrowed his eyes, "Aning, you stay here with your father, Atong, you come with me to your mother's grave."
"You, what do you want to do?!" Yang Erwu was shocked.
Li Yuguo said: "As your wife, Yang Erwu, there have been ups and downs along the way. I started from scratch in the past. Is it hard to let go because of this mere jail sentence? If no one interferes, do you believe that your wife is such a weak person?" As the saying goes, a daughter follows her father, and a son follows his mother. For a cheerful person like Atong, his mother will not be any worse!"
"You mean, the kid was forced to death by...?!" Yang Erwu was shocked.
Li Yuguo said: "It's hard to say. I'll go check it out and then confront you."
After bidding farewell to Yang Erwu, Aning followed Li Hugo to the graves of the Merchant Alliance. There happened to be no one around, and Li Hugo was about to start digging the graves. However, Aning refused. Aning bit her lip and looked sad: " Brother Hugo, my mother died miserably, why can’t I give her peace after death?!”
"Do you want your mother to die without knowing it?!" Li Huguo said.
Suddenly, Aning was speechless.
Yang Tongtong: "I believe in Brother Hugo. I remember that when my father was blocked by bandits for three months on his way, my mother firmly believed that my father would be fine. She is the strongest woman in the world, so how could she hang her head because of this momentary unhappiness? Suicide?!"
"Okay then." An Ning turned his head and couldn't bear to look any further.
Li Yuguo immediately called Qin Yu to come with him, and the three men began to dig the grave. After digging out the coffin, there was a smell of corpses when they opened the coffin, but the body had not been corrupted, but there were many corpse spots, which was shocking.
Li Yuguo covered his face with a wet cloth. After all, the smell of the corpse was too overwhelming. He gently untied the corpse's clothes. At this time, there were purple handprints on the corpse.
This made everyone watch with horror. Aning ran over and said: "No, it's impossible... There are these marks on my mother's body? I washed her body with my own hands when she was buried. There were not so many wounds at that time!"
"This is an intradermal injury. Generally, it cannot be seen in a short period of time after death." Li Hugo said, because he himself also writes novels, so he is very clear about the aspects of this type of criminal investigation, including the details.
Under normal circumstances, large areas of bruises on the back, buttocks, and legs of the deceased are called mortis. Stains are scars caused by blood flowing to the blood vessels in the lower parts of the body after the heart of the deceased has stopped. There were also autopsies in this era, but they were not as strict as in modern times. , so Li Yuguo followed the worldly procedures and could immediately distinguish between corpse spots and subcutaneous bleeding caused by violence.
Petechiae on a corpse may indicate violence during life, but ecchymosis does not necessarily point to violence, because the large body spots that appear on the body after death may also turn the body red and purple.
Corpse plaque refers to when a person's heart stops beating after death, and the blood that loses its heart pumping function will flow along the blood vessels to the vascular network in the lower parts of the corpse under the influence of gravity, causing it to expand, red blood cells gradually deposit, and appear purple or red through the skin. Dark red, these stains are called corpse spots.
Corpse spots generally appear in lower parts and dilated blood vessels, which means that there will be no corpse spots in relatively high positions on the body. Similarly, it is difficult to form corpse spots in places where the body surface is compressed due to capillary compression.
"There are three types of corpse spots. The sedimentation stage generally refers to the corpse spots within six hours after death. Since the blood is still in the blood vessels and can flow at this time, if you gently press the corpse spots with your fingers, it will temporarily fade. For the same reason, if the corpse is moved and the position of the corpse is changed in the early stage, the originally formed corpse spots will gradually fade away, and new corpse spots will form in the new lower parts, which is called the transfer of corpse spots, followed by the diffusion stage of corpse spots. , generally refers to the cadaver plaques produced within six to twelve hours after death. As the blood leaks out of the blood vessels along with the plasma and begins to enter the tissue in one direction, the infiltrative stage cadaver plaques will appear only after 12 hours. In this way This causes the corpse spots to be completely fixed, and even if the body is turned over and over, the existing corpse spots will not disappear and no new ones will form."
Li Yuguo raised his head and said, "Since your mother committed suicide by hanging from a beam during her lifetime, her body was vertical, which means that her blood was sinking downwards. Logically speaking, there should be corpse spots on her lower body, but her body was covered with man-made scars. It means that your mother was already dead before the hanging was done, and she was killed by someone else, and the hanging was an illusion created by the murderer to confuse your family members."
Li Yuguo's inference convinced everyone, and Qin Yu couldn't help but look at Li Yuguo.
"Then who is so cruel? My mother was a good person before she was alive. She didn't want to offend anyone. Why did he do such a cruel thing!" Aning was so angry that his body was shaking and his eyes were filled with tears.
