Laryngectomy won't kill on the spot. The killer's technique is very sharp. Instead of cutting the throat tube, he directly cut off the carotid artery on the side.

I'm a veteran.

In Xu Qi'an's previous life, cutting off the carotid artery was a fatal wound that could not be saved by immortals.

But it won't cause death on the spot.

And the little flag officer died directly on his desk, without struggle, without fresh blood splashing everywhere. It can be inferred that the cause of death was not cutting his throat.

What really made him die on the spot was that his brain was fatally injured, and he died on the spot without the opportunity to react or struggle.

The murderer smashed his frontal bone, then cut his throat with a knife. Staring at the shallow pit on the dead man's forehead, people thought of the picture.

Xu Qi'an touched the body of the deceased and observed it carefully. He said: "after death, the body was stiff all over the body, the spot was no longer displaced, the cornea was quite turbid, and the time of death was more than 17 hours. In other words, the killer killed at night.

"I suggest to trace it from the following aspects: first, the recent night trip of the Yamen with a book; second, ask the imperial sword guard if there are any suspicious people nearby; third, ask the watchman who is responsible for the night patrol of the area; fourth, ask the family members of the deceased about their recent interpersonal communication."

No one spoke for a long time. LV Qing and others looked at him.

So, that's good?

Given the direction?

How long has it taken to make a clear reasoning, and on this basis, to point out the direction of the investigation of the case.

Although we know that Xu Qi'an is an expert in solving cases, the mood of "too fast" still rises in everyone's heart.

LV Qing thought about it and said, "let me check it first."

Generally, when encountering a human life case, the catchers will take a preliminary inspection first, which can better combine the clues on the scene for reasoning.

The result given by Wu Zuo is similar to Xu Qi'an's judgment, even less detailed than the latter. Arise spontaneously,

Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao are all right. Lv Qing's Kwai Fu has been admired by several government offices.

"It's a pity that he's already a watchman. If the government doesn't come here..." Lu Qing sighed with regret in her heart.

If you have such an excellent colleague, it's really a pleasure in life to arrest criminals and solve cases with her.

Lu Qing shouted to Kwai to ask questions, and asked their questions.

The conclusion is: the deceased has no recent feud with others; there was no visitor last night; the deceased is in good mental state recently.

Lu Qing, who had no clue for a moment, frowned tightly.

"The dead man is just a small flag officer, excluding the vendetta. What's the reason for the murderer to enter the House late at night and commit murder?" Xu Qi'an is beside her, soft voice way.

Lu Qing has rich experience in criminal investigation. Hearing the speech, her eyes lit up, she immediately called the deceased's original mate and asked, "is there a sudden increase in silver at home? Or what did Liu Han say to you? "

The beautiful looking woman tried hard to think about it for a long time and said in a sad voice: "a few days ago, my husband said that he would take us out of the capital to live a smart life."

Lu Qing and Xu Qi'an looked at each other: "how many days ago."

"About ten days." Women don't remember very well.

...

on the way out of the yard, LV Qing said in a deep voice: "he accepted a bribe and was killed."

Xu Qi'an nodded, which is a very reasonable speculation, and he also thought so.

Song Tingfeng frowned and said, "but what will a small flag officer be killed for?"

Xu Qi'an thought, as if caught something, and asked: "if you remember correctly, Jin Wuwei is responsible for the east gate of the inner city and the east gate of the imperial city."

The words changed everyone's face slightly.

Xu Qi'an said: "maybe we should go to see Liu Han's immediate superior, report the matter to the yamen, get the card and ticket, and then go to the Yamen for questioning."

Liu Han's superior is Jin Wuwei's 100 households. Although they are all 100 households, Jin Wuwei's status is much higher than that of Yu Daowei, who is the unit security guard, while the former is the leader's bodyguard.

If Xu Qi'an and others want to ask questions, they have to have the tickets issued by the Yamen. It's like a search warrant from a previous life.

Back at the watchman's Yamen, he reported the matter to Li Yuchun. Brother chun attached great importance to it and said, "it's very strange, but the imperial city is heavily guarded. A small flag officer can't make any waves. As usual, Jin Wuwei will check it himself. In addition, the day of your Majesty's ancestor worship will soon come, and our focus should be on this matter. "

Tickets were given immediately.

waited for Kwai rash and too much in haste. Lv Qing and other government officials rushed to the east gate of the imperial city.

Zhou Baihu was on patrol. He waited for an hour before he came back. When he learned that the watchman and the government were looking for him, he immediately came to meet him.

Zhou Baihu has a thick beard, triangular eyes, and a face full of flesh. At first sight, he is not easy to get along with.

The Song court said, "Zhou Baihu, do you have a flag officer named Liu Han under your hand?"Zhou Baihu was about to answer when he saw one of the gongs. He took a piece of paper out of his arms and ignited it.

The next moment, his pupils were covered with light.

Wang Qi Shu? "The brow of the house is a hundred clamorous convergence

"He's dead." Song Tingfeng said.

"What?" Zhou Baihu was surprised.

Lu Qing asked, "has Liu Han been abnormal recently?"

"No

"When he was on duty at the east gate, were there any suspicious people and objects going in and out of the imperial city?"

"No Zhou Baihu shook his head: "there are many soldiers guarding the imperial city. It's useless to bribe only one person, unless all of them are bribed, which is impossible."

Zhu Guang filial piety: "if bribe you."

As soon as Zhou Baihu's face changed, his repressed rage surged up again: "what do you mean?"

Song Tingfeng said with a smile: "it's just a routine question. Why should Zhou Baihu be angry. Your Majesty's ancestor worship is around the corner, and we don't want to go wrong at the critical time. "

After a while, because there was a gong staring at the side, Zhou Baihu answered every question and restrained his hot temper.

Until Xu Qi'an's Wangqi skill lasted, song Tingfeng said with a smile, "thank you for your cooperation. Let's leave first."

On the way back with LV Qing and others, Xu Qi'an said, "he didn't lie."

Song Tingfeng squinted: "maybe Liu Han was killed because of other unknown things."

Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice: "let's shelve this case for the time being. The grand ceremony of ancestor worship is the most important."

The day after tomorrow is the day when the emperor worships his ancestors. Everything should be moved back.

Bid farewell to LV Qing and others, Xu Qi'an deliberated the whole process in pianting, but without success, he put Liu Han's affairs aside.

...

in the year of gengzi, October 15, Jiazi day.

It is suitable to pray for blessings, fast and sacrifice to ancestors.

Soon, the day of Royal ancestor worship came. Xu Qi'an is no stranger to this. At this time of year, the gate of the inner city will be closed. As the second uncle of the imperial sword guard, he will be transferred to the inner city for martial law today. The people in the inner city are required to stay at home and not to go out.

There is another similar sacrifice at the beginning of spring, which is to worship heaven, praying for good weather and peace of the country this year.

Since yesterday, the inns in the inner city have been investigated one by one, and all the quacks have been rushed to the outer city. The restaurants are closed and the inns are not allowed to stay.

As a watchman, Xu Qi'an was arranged to stand guard in Sangpo.

Sangpo is a small lake, close to the imperial city. Willows are planted by the lake. In this season, willow leaves have not sprouted yet.

There is a winding corridor on the water, connecting the white marble terrace in the center of the lake. There is a temple on the terrace with four gilded characters on the plaque:

Yongzhen mountain and river!

The place of ancestor worship is here.

Sangpo is not an ordinary lake. It has a history that people like to talk about, which is related to the founding emperor Dafeng.

It is said that "Sangpo" was called Xuanwu Lake in ancient times, in which lived Xuanwu.

Once, the founding emperor of Dafeng failed in his army and fled to Sangpo with his remnant. He ran out of ammunition and food.

At the moment of desperation, the lake is boiling, and the Xuanwu is chopping the waves. On its back, there is a sword to kill the immortals.

Xuanwu has been waiting for its destiny for hundreds of years.

With that, he offered the sword and stepped on the waves.

After three years of enlightenment in the lake, the founding emperor broke through the barrier and regrouped his forces. From then on, he won every battle and overthrew the decadent former dynasty.

After the unification of the Central Plains, Dafeng established the imperial capital in Sangpo.

Sangpo is the place where the founder of Dafeng preached, which has extraordinary symbolic significance. Therefore, the Dafeng royal family held a grand ceremony of ancestor worship in Sangpo every year.

The temple on the lake is dedicated to the Dharma Minister of the founding emperor.

"Liu Bang is still beheading the White Snake uprising, and I don't know how much water this legend contains..." Xu Qi'an looks at the high platform in the lake, and his heart is full of sorrow.
