Xue Ling complained secretly. When he left, Suizhou had just been approached by Lord Qianhu to speak, and he casually ordered him to invite Tang Fan. Xue Ling had been with Suizhou for a long time, so he naturally understood that such an order was not very urgent. Yes, who knew that the Sui General Assembly would be sitting here and waiting
He hurriedly said: "Brother, Master Tang is here, if it's all right, I'll go down first?"
Sui Zhou hummed, Xue Ling seemed to have been granted amnesty, and was so busy that he didn't forget to give Tang Fan a self-seeking look before leaving.
Tang Fan coughed lightly: "I haven't thanked Mr. Sui for the medicine, but after using it three times, the traces are completely gone, and it works very well."
Sui Zhou's eyes swept over the whiteness above the other's collar, which had returned to its original state, and said "Come with me", then got up and walked out.
Tang Fan followed behind him, crossed the courtyard, and came to the front of another house. After entering, he went all the way down through the stairs. As he went down, the surrounding temperature was much lower than the ground.
Because of the lack of sunlight all the year round, the surrounding environment is very dark, but not humid, and the candles on both sides are flickering, and it seems that it may be extinguished at any time.
It was quiet here, no one was guarding, the two stepped on the steps, and the sound of footsteps echoed in the air, making people nervous involuntarily.
This place was originally used to place some torture instruments and weapons of the Beizhen Fusi, but now there is another corpse.
In order to store the corpse, Suizhou ordered a lot of ice cubes to be moved and piled up around the corpse.
Saltpeter ice-making originated in the late Tang Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, the ice-making technology had been very developed. Every summer, hawkers would sell cold drinks and cold foods on the streets, and big families would also use ice cubes to cool off. Not to mention.
"Zheng Cheng?!" When Tang Fan saw the corpse, he did not hide his surprise, but also had some unexpected surprises.
This is not a psychopath of Tang Fan, who is not interested in the corpse of Zheng Cheng, a playboy, but he thought that the East Factory caught fire and Zheng Cheng's body was burned to the ground, but he didn't expect that Suizhou had taken precautions and sent Zheng Cheng to the ground. The body was removed.
Tang Fan said: "Sui Zongqi's foresight is very much admired by Tang."
Although there are many people who can think of this trick, there are not many people who dare to do it.
If Dongchang knew that what he took with him was a "fake Zheng Cheng", he would definitely have to come to Suizhou for trouble.
However, given the background of Suizhou, there is no need to worry about it.
But Suizhou listened to his compliments, and his face was full of pride: "We found nothing in him."
Tang Fan's eyes fell on Zheng Cheng. This playful, flirtatious dude in his lifetime has now turned into a silent corpse, with all his clothes stripped naked, lying here quietly. , Because of the preservation of ice cubes, the corpse showed a strange bluish-white color, but it was generally intact and did not rot.
In fact, on the night he just died, Tang Fan had already checked it carefully. At that time, Zuo Zuo also said that he found nothing. Later, it was normal for Suizhou and the others to find nothing. The last cause of death of "excessive indulgence and death from yang" is also quite reasonable.
Tang Fan's eyes scrutinized Zheng Cheng's body carefully, and the inspection procedure was more detailed than that night.
Sui Zhou's expression moved slightly when he saw that he could not avoid Qi Hui and personally started it.
As the foundation of the country becomes more and more stable, the importance of military attachés is further reduced, and such a large country is governed by a group of civilian officials, which makes most officials like Tang Fan who have been promoted through the imperial examination have a natural sense of superiority in their bones. Han Chuang has studied hard for decades, and once he became a parent official, he can be called a good official if he can not exploit the people, let alone specialize in business, do a job and love his job, and study his job as a profession.
The reason Suizhou was surprised was because he had seen too many officials with similar positions as Tang Fan, let alone inspecting the corpse in person, he would frown even when he saw the corpse and avoid it. They depended on the subordinate officials and small officials below, and because they were not familiar with them, they were not suspicious of what they said, which led to the fact that they were kept in the dark and the situation was particularly serious.
In contrast, Tang Runqing can be described as a practical official, let alone whether he understands autopsy, the spirit of willingness to do it himself is enough to make people look at it with admiration.
That Tang Fan had already checked the body again, not even letting go of the palms and soles of his feet. His eyes moved slowly on Zheng Cheng's body inch by inch, from the navel up, across the chest, neck, chin, bridge of the nose, The forehead, eventually falling on the top of the head.
When Zheng Cheng died, his hair was loose, but now it is tied in a bun as usual.
There was no obvious trauma on his face, and the previously speculated cause of death made people focus more on the neck below, but ignored the top of the head.
"Who combed his hair?" Tang Fan asked.
"It was like this when I brought it back from the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion." Suizhou said.
Tang Fan didn't say anything, he reached out and untied Zheng Cheng's hair bun, inserted his fingers between the other's hair, and slowly groped.
Suddenly, Tang Fan's hand stopped, and his face became a little weird.
Sui Li found out: "What?"
Tang Fan: "Come and touch here, the top of your head, the Baihui Point."
Sui Zhou reached out his hand as he said, and fumbled for a moment, his brows furrowed deeply.
"The Baihui point is slightly sunken," he said.
Tang Fan knew a little about medical theory, and pondered: "I remember that if acupuncture and moxibustion at Baihui point, it can refresh the brain and enlighten the mind and calm the mind."
Suizhou is a martial artist, and he knows more about it than Tang Fan: "Because the Baihui point is the meeting of the three yang and Baimai of the strange meridian, it has this name. A heavy blow to the Baihui point can cause serious injuries, coma and death."
Tang Fan: "But on the night of the incident, only the maid, Alin, was there. She was a weak woman, and Zheng Cheng was awake. The relationship is really yours and I want it, it can't be forced, and she doesn't need to fight desperately."
Sui Zhou nodded: "There is another situation, you don't need to hit hard, as long as you are familiar with this acupoint and hit daily with moderate force, the person who is hit will fall into a coma and die immediately, but after a long time, the meridians will be disordered and ruptured. lethal."
In this way, the bedside person who gets along with Zheng Cheng day and night is the most likely to become the murderer.
Tang Fan shook his head: "No wonder, because the top of the head is covered by hair, it is not easy to find out, and the cause of Zheng Cheng's death makes people not immediately think about this aspect."
Suizhou: "Have you met Zheng Cheng's daughter-in-law?"
Tang Fan: "Yes, I found another thing on the way here, and I happened to tell you."
Suizhou: "?"
Tang Fan: "I just bumped into the man in the portrait who was going to buy Chaihu, and I remembered where I saw it."
Sui Zhou's eyes narrowed.
Tang Fan: "He is from the Marquis of Wu'an."
Suizhou: "Are you sure?"
Tang Fan nodded: "I won't admit my mistake. On the night of the incident, the Marquis of Wu'an was in chaos. There were so many people at the time that I just felt familiar, but after I saw them again, I remembered that it was the night when I was there. I have seen this person in the servants of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion."
This is a very important discovery.
The two left the ice cellar, Suizhou asked someone to bring Zheng Fu over, and Tang Fan went to clean his hands.
Touching the corpse just now was necessary for work, so I had no choice but to give up.
Zheng Cheng's servant Zheng Fu has always been detained in the Beizhen Fusi, and he was quickly brought over. Although Jin Yiwei is famous for his prison sentence, it is a treatment that requires a certain level of talent to deal with such a small person. , I don't need all the means of Jin Yiwei, but Zheng Fu has been locked up after Zheng Cheng's death. He was extremely nervous, and the whole person quickly became haggard, just like Tang Fan's clever appearance when he first saw him. like two people.
Zheng Fu was still ignorant when he saw the portrait, but after hearing Tang Fan say that he had seen this man in the Marquis of Wu'an, he sighed: "I remembered, this man is indeed in the Marquis's mansion!"
Suizhou's face sank: "Why didn't you say it before?"
Zheng Fu kowtowed again and again: "There are many people in Hou's mansion. Although the youngest is by the side of the young master, he may not be able to recognize them all. Besides, this person is not from Hou's mansion. In the outer courtyard, the little one has only met once or twice…”
Suizhou: "How long has he lived in the mansion?"
Zheng Fu: "It's been about half a year. I heard from the young master, but it is a serious relative. At that time, Aunt Hui came to ask the young master, saying that everyone in her family was dead, and there was only such a cousin left. She hoped to find one in the Hou residence. The young master agreed and sent the man to the stable to help. The young master rarely rides horses, and only travels in sedan chairs. The young man has rarely seen this man, but I heard that he still To be honest, I haven't caused any trouble, if it wasn't for the reminder from Master Tang, I really couldn't remember it!"
Suizhou said no more, and immediately ordered Zheng Fu to be taken away, and ordered Xue Ling and others to prepare to go to the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Tang Fan, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, looked at him and asked Zheng Fu, but suddenly said, "Hold on!"
With this sound, not only Xue Lington stopped, but Sui Zhou also looked over.
Tang Fan said to Suizhou, "Have you thought about the consequences of this departure? President Sui?"
No matter how quick Sui Zhou's response was, he still didn't understand after hearing this rambling sentence: "What do you mean?"
Tang Fan said: "When Zheng Fu said this, we all knew that Aunt Hui's relative would go to buy Chaihu to murder Zheng Cheng, and it must have something to do with Aunt Hui, but Aunt Hui's wife, a woman in a deep house, can't even say a word. I don't know, how do you know that Fuyangchun Lijia Chaihu can kill people? It must be because someone is behind the instigation and planning, this involvement may bring out the secrets of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion. Although the Marquis of Wu'an Zhengying has no real power, But after all, it is also the hero of Jingnan, and it will not be good for you if this matter becomes too big."
Suizhou's face turned cold: "If Master Tang is afraid, you can do whatever you want. I don't force it."
Xue Ling also shouted: "It's all checked out, and the murderer is about to be found out, how can you give up halfway! I said Master Tang, you are too timid, so you can only hang around with Master Pan. It's gone!"
Tang Fan shook his head: "You guys misunderstood, I'm not afraid, I just advise you to think clearly first, in the end, it was caused by Shuntian's ineffective handling of the case at first, and if there is any credit later, I will never snatch it from Beizhen Fusi. , but if you need to take responsibility, please count me in."
As soon as these words came out, Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, then laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, Master Tang, you are a man, I like it!"
He had initially established a relationship with Tang Fan over a bowl of wontons before, but the relationship was not strong. At this time, after hearing Tang Fan's responsible words, Xue Ling could be regarded as having a little admiration for this gentle and gentle official.
There are many people who take the credit and take the credit these days, but very few are willing to take responsibility.
Sui Zhou's expression also softened: "I have my own concerns about this matter, so don't worry."
The background of Suizhou, Pan Bin has already mentioned before, since the other party can say so, it must be no problem.
Jin Yiwei is used to being domineering, and he really doesn't need to look at the faces of those who are powerless.
Thinking of this, Tang Fan nodded and said no more.
He must say these words. As for whether others appreciate it or not, that is their business.
However, his attitude won the favor of Sui Zhou and Xue Ling.
Suizhou got up: "Let's go, go to the Marquis of Wu'an."
