After the family affairs were settled, Song Qi no longer had any worries and took office with Ji Xiao.
The master was originally supposed to assist the county master and act as a staff member, but Gao Fenglin directly asked Song Que to be responsible for the trial of the case. This should have been the authority of the Wangxian Lieutenant, but the Wangxian Lieutenant was happy to just take care of public security, so he turned a blind eye and passed it.
Song Que was on duty, and there was always a young man of eleven or twelve years old following behind him, like a little tail. At first everyone was a little fussy, but as time went by, they even asked if they didn't see me.
The servant Xiao Bing was new from Linxian County. By chance, he did the same job as before. He thought he was familiar with it, but he found that there was a big difference.
A wealthy family in the county died mysteriously. Xiao Bing and others, together with Su Wuzuo, were ordered to investigate the scene and bring back the body. Xiao Bing took a quick look and wanted to step forward to lift the body, but was scolded by his seniors. He saw Su Wuzuo and several seniors measuring back and forth on the ground, as if measuring the distance between the body and the surrounding objects. There were also people on the side who recorded the direction of the body, the posture of lying on the bed, etc., everything was done in detail and in great detail.
After finally being able to carry the body back, Xiao Bing was a little puzzled. He couldn't help but asked in a low voice next to a senior: "Then what is Su Wuzuo's identity? Why do I look at these brothers so politely?"
Wu Zuo's status was low, and the attitude of these officers towards Su Wu Zuo could not be called respect, but compared to what Xiao Bing had seen before, they were very polite.
Officer Chen said: "Su Zuo has really learned a lot from working with Mr. Song, and he is not like those other gangsters who know nothing but guarding corpses. They can really find out things, for sure. It’s scary, you should be more polite.”
Originally, it was unlucky to deal with the dead, but once it became tinged with something supernatural, it became a different story.
Xiao Bing was itching to hear what he said and was very curious.
The group of people took the body back to Yizhuang. There was an indescribable smell of herbs in the village. Xiao Bing looked around and found a pill burning in each of the four corners. He didn't know what it was used for.
Officer Chen smiled and said, "That's the prescription Mr. Song took out. It's called Piyu Dan. You can light a pill and the smoke will remove the odor."
Xiao Bing followed others to carry the body in, and finally saw the legendary Lord Song. Mr. Song was wearing a stain-resistant blue robe, and he was followed by a young man in gray robe. The young man showed half of his face in profile, and he looked like he was a child from an ordinary family. He didn't know how he ended up here.
Before Xiao Bing could ask any questions, he saw Mr. Song turning around. At that moment, Xiao Bing understood the feelings of the seniors. What a fairy-like posture it was, like snow falling on a mountain. Even though he is standing here, even though he is listening to the test results and reviewing the deceased's life events, it is more like an immortal wiping out the wronged soul and extinguishing all the hatred in his life.
Song Que was originally testing Ji Xiao's academic performance. Although he brought Ji Xiao with him, he did not want him to inherit the mantle. He just wanted this sensitive child to be more relaxed. Therefore, he used every opportunity to teach serious homework. and inspection. Ji Xiao was talented and able to endure hardships, but Song planned to give him some more training before sending him to take the county examination.
Seeing Su Wuzuo and his entourage come in, Song Que knew it was the murder case reported in the morning. Ji Xiao was also used to this kind of switching, and stepped forward to take over the on-site report from the police officers.
The on-site report was proposed by Song Que. At the beginning, the guards were a little troublesome. Under the pressure of the county boss, they could only listen to Song Que's mercy. Unexpectedly, the results were quite good, and he helped a lot in many cases. Everyone stopped complaining, and their respect for Song Que rose to a new level.
Song Que looked at the row of servants standing there and said, "It's better to leave two people down to help. The others can go back to the government office to do their work."
The officers looked at each other, no one wanted to take the first step.
I still remember that at the beginning, Gao Fenglin was worried that the methods used by Song Que were too unfamiliar and would not be able to convince the public. Song Que's solution was to solve more cases and accumulate trust. To this day, no one questions Song Que, and some of Song Que's methods have been easily popularized. The storytellers in the teahouse also like to make up stories about Song Que solving crimes, making him famous in the sky and on the earth. Coupled with his unique style of magnanimity, they also gave him the title of "heaven and man resolve wrongs". title. Song Que really suspected that Gao Fenglin was behind this, but every time he asked, Gao Fenglin pretended to be dumbfounded, and in the end he could only let it go.
The officers all found it interesting to be around Mr. Song. They pushed each other and tried to drive them away, but Officer Chen said, "Sir, why don't you just order two of them?"
Song Que said: "Then let's take care of Officer Chen and this little brother next to us."
Xiao Bing pointed at himself in disbelief. Officer Chen smiled at him and pulled Xiao Bing out under the envious eyes of others.
Xiao Bing said: "Brother Chen, didn't Master Song ask us to stay?"
Officer Chen said: "Let's drink a bowl of Sanshen soup first. It can remove the smell of corpses."
Xiao Bing didn't ask any more questions, knowing that this must be Master Song's suggestion again, and sighed: "How does Master Song know so much?"
Officer Chen touched his head. Someone had asked him before, what did Mr. Song say
"The adults said they are all methods in books. There seems to be some "Redress of Injustices", "Record of No Injustices", "Records of Cleaning Up Injustices", etc. They have picked out a few useful methods for us to use."
Xiao Bing said: "It's great to study."
Officer Chen nodded and said: "I sent my little tiger son to study. I am too late, but I can learn a little bit from Master Song."
The two drank Sanshen Soup before going back, but Song had already started to check.
The deceased was a well-known wealthy family in the county, and his name was Chen Dafu. When his wife came in in the morning, she found Chen Dafu lying naked on the bed with something wrong in his face. She went up to sniff and found that Chen Dafu was not breathing at all, so she reported it to the Yamen.
Su Wuzuo was already familiar with the specific inspection process and stepped forward to inspect the body. Officer Chen and Xiao Bing were responsible for helping to lift the body when necessary.

Ji Xiao read the on-site report to Song Que, and Song Que began to simulate the situation in his mind. It's extremely suspicious that Chen Dafu was lying on the bed and was all wet. His clothes and brocade quilt fell to the floor. The small window beside the bed was half open. The things beside the bed were also in a mess, and some fell to the floor. This scene does not look like a struggle. Instead, it looks like Chen Dafu was frightened and fled on the bed.
Song Que first stopped the simulation in his mind and asked Su Wuzuo: "How is it?"
Su Wuzuo reported the deceased's height, age and other basic information, not even omitting the birthmarks, moles and other characteristics that could prove his identity. Finally, he came to the various symptoms on the corpse: "There are two spots on the inner side of the right leg. There was a small hole, which seemed to be a snake bite mark, and it was black and purple, but there were no obvious injuries elsewhere."
Song Que signaled Su Wuzuo to spread the legs of the deceased and carefully looked at the so-called snake bite. They had seen several cases of snake bites, but there was nothing wrong with the shape alone. It really looked like a snake bite. But the black and purple patch is quite intriguing. For those bitten by poisonous snakes, the tissue at the bite site will be necrotic, swollen and embarrassing, and it will be purple and black. Although Chen Dafu's legs are purple and black, there is no swelling. The left and right legs are as smooth as before, with the same thickness. . It looked more like someone was faking a poisonous snake bite. If this is the case, the cause of Chen Dafu's death lies elsewhere, but Song Que said: "Check again."
This time Song Ke wanted to watch the whole process, and did not miss every move made by Su Wu. Su Wuzuo was used to it, but Song often asked for review. He was skilled in his movements. Officer Chen and Xiao Bing were also helping, mainly responsible for supporting the body.
Every time Song Que read a sentence, Ji Xiao compared it with what Su Wu had written. If there was any discrepancy, he would change it; if there was no discrepancy, he would keep it. This time, even the valley road was not spared. Xiao Bing was stunned at the side. Officer Chen said: "Don't make a fuss. Some people like to walk on the dry road, and there are not just one or two accidents. There are also people who think it is hidden, just like this." There is no place to do anything."
Song Que finally said: "Undo his bun and check the top of his head again."
Su Wuzuo took apart the bun on Chen Dafu's head and touched his scalp inch by inch. Finally, he felt a foreign object where the bun was. He said excitedly: "Sir, there seems to be something here."
Song Que hurriedly stepped forward, and Su Wuzuo pushed aside the surrounding hair, revealing a very inconspicuous little thing that was close to the color of his hair. It was a long nail that was driven into Chen Dafu's forehead. It was so deep that only one nail surface was almost touching Chen Dafu's scalp. If Su Wuzuo hadn't touched it carefully this time, he might have been ignored.
Xiao Bing gasped when he saw it.
Song Que also paused. Although he had seen it a lot over the years, he still sighed every time he saw it, how could people be so cruel to the same kind
Song asked Ji Xiao to bring a pen and paper. He waved his hand and drew a few strokes, then drew the bun on Chen Dafu's head in his memory and asked Ji Xiao to put it away.
Officer Chen asked curiously: "Sir, what's the secret of this bun?"
Song Que looked at Ji Xiao, obviously wanting to test his intentions. Ji Xiao thought for a moment and hesitated: "The spike was buried right under the bun, which means that the bun was tied after the spike was buried. It cannot be ruled out that after the murderer buried the spike, other people did it. It is possible that Chen Dafu tied his hair in a bun, but this possibility is very low. In other words, the person who tied his hair in a bun is most likely the real murderer."
Song Que touched Ji Xiao's head with satisfaction. Ji Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became happy. Song Que added: "Just like how everyone's habit of tying clothes belts is different in the order and length of the knots, although this bun is not special, everyone's little habits are different. It may not be useful, or it may be useful. , draw it to be prepared.”
Xiao Bing nodded repeatedly while listening.
The most likely cause of Chen Dafu's death was already very obvious, but Song still did not end the process hastily. He signaled Su Zuozuo and others to wash and apply the body. The hall smelled of vinegar and wine lees. If the body still had scars, it would take a while after washing and dressing. It takes an hour to be revealed.
Song Que then began to give lectures to Ji Xiao again.
Xiao Bing felt a little uncomfortable on the side. He tugged on Officer Chen's clothes and asked in a low voice, "Can we also listen?"
He still remembered how when he was a child, he eavesdropped outside the school and was chased away by his teacher. He was a little scared about such things.
Officer Chen was listening attentively, but Song was giving lectures in simple and profound terms. Although he was not as quick-thinking as Ji Xiao and could not keep up with their ideas, he still learned something. Being interrupted by Xiao Bing, he was not angry and said: "Master Song has said that Confucius advocates teaching without distinction, and he doesn't care about it. Although he can't give special lessons to everyone, he gives Ji Xiao Bing a lesson." When Brother lectures, everyone can listen if they want without asking him for instructions."
Song Que was lecturing here, and the waiting time passed in an instant, and the washing of the corpse had just ended. Everyone re-examined the body, and no other injuries were found. The spike at the top was confirmed to be the murder weapon, and the time of death was between midnight and midnight.
