At the gate of the city, Yan Qing, who had been waiting for Gu Qiancheng to come back, finally waited when the carriage came. His cold and hard outlook softened a little, but...
When he arrived at the Jiang family, he lived with the Jiang family. The Jiang family was rich and offered to continue his education, but he knew that he owed the Jiang family too much, so he refused.
"The deceased was a man, about 25 or 26 years old. He was seven feet tall, with a strong build and protruding cheekbones. He had a finger-long fatal knife wound on his neck. The knife used to commit the crime was an ordinary kitchen knife. The blade went from left to right without stopping."
Being able to hide someone from a gangster and secretly replace someone is definitely not something that the young master of the Jiang family can do alone. This case is worth investigating.
The Jiang family had finished the investigation and the harvest was not big. Gu Qiancheng was not disappointed and said, "Let's go to Yizhuang to see the body of the deceased. Maybe we can find something from it. In addition, you can ask someone to investigate again. Young Master Jiang's cousin There is also the matter of the third young master of the Jiang family, who they are usually close to and who they interact with a lot, ask more about the two of them."
The young cousin of the Jiang family. The man who the police mentioned in the file was knowledgeable and courteous, but he was the youngest son of a scholar. However, his parents died and his family property was seized by his uncle, so he ended up in the Jiang family.
Judging from the records of the case, Gu Qiancheng believed that these two people were the most suspicious. It was no coincidence that something happened to one of them just after he returned home. The other one is living under someone else's roof. Even if the Jiang family is kind and does not treat him harshly, there is no guarantee that he will not feel unfair.
Qin Jiyan ignored him and only asked people to seal up Yizhuang.
"It seems that there are only eighteen people in the Jiang family. There is no possibility that the nineteenth is the murderer." The Jiang family is not very big, and it is not easy to hide a person from others.
There was only one external wound on the body, on the neck, but it was already decomposed. Gu Qiancheng could only make out a rough outline, and asked the guards at any time to take notes as he spoke.
By the time Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan left Yizhuang, it was already dark and the city gates had been closed, but none of this affected His Highness King Qin. Great Qin has a curfew and a rule that city gates are not allowed to be opened at night, but His Highness Qin wants to enter the city, who dares to stop him
"Your Majesty, these are the corpses of the Jiang family. They are all here, not a few." The steward was cautious, burying his head on his chest when he spoke, not daring to look up at anyone.
The carriage moved forward slowly. By the time Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng arrived at the Jiang family mansion, it was already afternoon. Gu Qiancheng had a good sleep in the carriage and was in good spirits. His Highness Qin was in a worse state. , the right arm was almost numb from the pressure, but...
There was a seal on the Jiang family's door, which could block ordinary people but not Qin Jiyan. The secret guard appeared, completely ignoring the seal and opening the door.
A member of the Jiang family has been dead for more than three months. The case has not been solved, and no one has come to collect the body. The body has been stored in Yizhuang outside the city, which is only half an hour's drive from the Jiang family.
Qin Jiyan didn't like Gu Qiancheng going to check the body, but he also knew that he couldn't stop him because...
"The case has been delayed for too long. If we could have seen the scene as soon as possible, this case would not have needed to be delayed for so long." Gu Qiancheng looked around and checked every room in the Jiang family, including the kitchen. utensils.
Because he found something completely different from the case, the expression on Gu Qiancheng's face could not help but become a little more solemn, and the next inspection became more rigorous.
"Sure enough..." Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Qin Ji, "Your Highness, the case has been solved."
It was already dark at this time, and candles were lit in the room. The wind blew in, and the candles swayed, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, which made it a bit gloomy. However, Gu Qiancheng did not feel scared. He just moved his stiff arms and signaled to the guards to leave. The coffin was finally opened.
Gu Qiancheng glanced at him apologetically, put on the temporary coat he bought, put on gloves and a mask, and signaled the guards to open the coffin.
No evidence, just intuition. And soon, Gu Qiancheng's intuition was proved, because...
"Young master Jiangjia Biao?" Qin Jiyan looked sarcastic, and then ordered: "Inform the government to arrest him." As long as the young master Jiangjia Biao is captured, it will not be difficult to find another female murderer.
The eighteenth coffin contained only one stone.
"Yes." The secret guard responded, and saw a gust of wind flash past, and Yizhuang returned to calm. Only then did the steward of Yizhuang react, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, shouting in horror, "Your Majesty, you villain I don’t know, the villain doesn’t know. The coffin was sealed when it was delivered, so the villain really doesn’t know.”
Three months have passed since the Jiang family's crime occurred. Although the scene was not damaged, no traces could be found. The inside and outside of Jiang's family were covered with a thick layer of dust, even the blood stains that had not been washed away. , can’t see clearly at this time.
Her previous inference was wrong, there was more than one murderer.
He has been working in Yizhuang for more than thirty years, and this is the first time he has met the prince and grandson. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid.
The rotten smell was disgusting, and Gu Qiancheng didn't like it either, but this was her job and had nothing to do with preference.
There were a total of eighteen coffins, and seventeen of them were placed together in the Jiang family. After Gu Qiancheng's investigation, he was sure that there was no murderer in the Jiang family, and that the murderer was a man and a woman.
After Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jiyan. Although he didn't say anything, Qin Jiyan understood what Gu Qiancheng was going to say.
After Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng arrived at Yizhuang and revealed their identities, the steward of Yizhuang immediately took them to the backyard room. Eighteen coffins were lined up in the room.
After a busy afternoon, Gu Qiancheng was also a little tired. After putting on clean clothes, Gu Qiancheng didn't care whether he was dirty or not. As soon as he got on the carriage, he rested his head on Qin Jiyan's lap and adjusted himself to a comfortable position. Position, "Your Highness, I want to take a rest."
His Highness Qin looked at his legs that were about to suffer a tragedy, and did not say a word. He just patted Gu Qiancheng's back silently. It looked like he was very skilled in the movements, which showed that His Highness Qin had done it a lot before.
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan took a styrax pill in his mouth, but he still couldn't stop the rotten smell from entering his nose, and his face immediately turned ugly.
No matter how painful and tiring this kind of thing is, I can't talk about it, I can only secretly move my muscles and bones.
Gu Qiancheng felt that something was wrong with this person.
"The deceased, female, about seven or eight years old. Three feet tall, slightly chubby, with a half-finger-long fatal wound on her neck. The murder weapon..." Gu Qiancheng paused for a moment, then pressed the pliers on the deceased's neck and started to move. After poking at the wound, he said: "The murder weapon was scissors. Judging from the strength, the perpetrator must be a woman."
When he met Gu Qiancheng, Gu Qiancheng was working as a coworker. Gu Qiancheng was very independent and not someone who would give up if he didn't like it.
Three months have passed, and the corpse has long since rotted. Fortunately, the weather was cold during this period, and even after three months, we can barely make out the outline.
In addition, although the Jiang family is wealthy, it is not a rich family. Although the things in the family are not enough for each person, there is nothing superfluous, and there is no trace of raising an extra person.
In the eyes of outsiders, the young master of the Jiang family is a gentle and quiet young man. The nearby villagers speak highly of him, but...
