Cutting the throat will not die on the spot. The murderer's technique is very straightforward. He did not cut the throat, but directly cut the carotid artery on the side.
He looks like a veteran.
In Xu Qi'an's previous life, cutting the carotid artery was a fatal trauma that was hard for gods to save, and he would undoubtedly die.
However, this will not cause death on the spot.
The little flag official died directly on the desk, without struggling, and without letting blood splatter everywhere. From this, it is inferred that the cause of death was not the throat slit.
What really caused him to die on the spot was that his brain was fatal wounded, and he had no chance to react or struggle, and he died on the spot.
The murderer shattered his forehead bone, then cut his throat with a knife, and simply... staring at the shallow pit on the deceased's forehead, a picture appeared in everyone's mind.
Xu Qi'an touched the body of the deceased, and after careful observation, he said: After death, the stagnation spread throughout the body, the corpse spots no longer displaced, the cornea was quite turbid, and the death time lasted for more than seventeen hours.In other words, the murderer killed someone at night.
I suggest to investigate from these aspects: 1. The government office recently opened a night walk to the letter; 2. Ask the Imperial Sword Guard if he had encountered suspicious people nearby; 3. Ask the beating people responsible for night patrols in the area; 4. Ask the family members about the recent interpersonal relationship status of the deceased.
No one spoke for a long time, and Lu Qing and others stared at him blankly.
This, that's all right?
Give the direction?
How long has it been since then, it has made clear and clear reasoning and used this as a basis to point out the direction for the investigation of the case.
Although they knew that Xu Qi'an was a master of solving cases, everyone's hearts still felt so fast.
Lu Qing thought for a while and said: Let the coroner check it first.
Generally, when encountering murder cases, the catchers will bring the coroner and conduct preliminary inspections first, so that they can better reason with clues on the scene.
The results given by the coroner are similar to Xu Qi'an's judgment, and are even less detailed than the latter.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were fine, but Lu Qing and his parents were quick to do it, and he naturally felt admiration for Xu Qi'an.
What a pity, he was already fighting again, and the government office couldn't come... Lu Qing sighed regretfully in his heart.
If there is such an outstanding colleague who can arrest criminals with her and solve the case, it will be a pleasure in life.
Lu Qing called Kuaishou, who was asking about the questions outside, and asked about their gains from the questions.
It was concluded that the deceased has not made enemies with others recently; no guests came to visit last night; the deceased has been in good spirits recently.
Lu Qing, who had no idea for a moment, frowned.
The deceased is just a small flag official. The exclusion of revenge killing. What is the reason for letting the murderer go into the house late at night and killing people?Xu Qi'an was beside her and said softly.
Lu Qing has rich experience in criminal investigation. When he heard this, his eyes lit up. He immediately called the deceased's original wife and asked: Is there suddenly more money in the family?Or, what did Liu Han say to you?
The beautiful woman, after thinking about it for a long time, said sadly: A few days ago, my husband said that he would take us out of the capital and live a leisurely life outside.
Lu Qing and Xu Qi'an looked at each other: How many days ago was it?
About one tenth.The woman can't remember it very clearly.
……
On the way out of the yard, Lu Qing said in a deep voice: He accepted a bribe and was silenced.
Xu Qi'an nodded. This was a very reasonable speculation, and he thought so too.
Song Tingfeng frowned and said: But what would a small banner official be silenced for?
Xu Qian thought about it, as if he had caught something, and asked: If you remember correctly, the Jinwu Guard is responsible for the East City Gate of the inner city and the East City Gate of the Imperial City.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed slightly.
Xu Qi'an said: Maybe we should meet Liu Han's direct boss, first go back to the yamen to report the matter, and then come to the door to ask questions after receiving the license ticket.
Liu Han’s boss is the Jinwu Guard’s hundred households. Although all of them are hundreds of households, the status of the Jinwu Guard is much higher than that of the Imperial Sword Guard. The latter is the unit security guard, while the former is the leader’s bodyguard.
Xu Qi'an and others were going to come to ask questions, and they had to have a certificate issued by the yamen as a certificate.Similar to the search warrant in the previous life.
When he returned to the Khanren Yamen, he reported the matter to Li Yuchun. Brother Chun attached great importance to it and pondered: This matter is very strange, but the imperial city is strictly garrisoned, and a small flag official could not make any trouble. As usual, the Jinwu Guard would investigate it himself.In addition, the day for His Majesty to worship his ancestors is coming soon, and our focus should be on this matter.
The ticket was given immediately.
After waiting for a while in the Kantengyi Office, Lu Qing and other quick-sellers rushed over and rushed to the east gate of the imperial city.
Zhou Baihu was taking people to patrol and waited for an hour before coming back. When he learned that the Dingren and the government office had come up, he came to meet him immediately.
Zhou Baihu has a thick beard, triangular eyes, and a fleshy face. He looks like he is not a good person to get along with.
Song Tingfeng said: Zhou Baihu, do you have a banner official named Liu Han?
Zhou Baihu, who had an unhappy expression, was about to answer when he suddenly saw one of the gongs, taking out a piece of paper from his arms, igniting it with his energy.
The next moment, a layer of clear light was stained with his pupils.
Qi-seeing technique?Zhou Baihu calmly restrained the irritability between his eyebrows: Yes.
He is dead.Song Tingfeng said.
What?Zhou Baihu couldn't hide his surprise.
Lu Qing asked: Is there something unusual about Liu Han recently?
No.
During his time at the East City Gate, were there suspicious people and objects entering and leaving the Imperial City?
No.Zhou Baihu shook his head: There are many soldiers guarding the imperial city, and it is useless to bribe one person alone, unless it is bribed, which is impossible.
Zhu Guangxiaodao: What if I bribe you.
Zhou Baihu's face changed, and his depression and irritability surged again: What do you mean?
Song Tingfeng smiled and said: It's just a routine question, why should Zhou Baihu be angry?Your Majesty is about to worship his ancestors, and we don’t want to make a mistake at critical moments.
After asking for a while, because there was a Tongluo staring at the side with Qi-seeking technique. Zhou Baihu answered questions and suppressed his hot temper.
Until Xu Qi'an's Qi-seeking technique lasted, Song Tingfeng smiled and said: Thank you for your cooperation, let's say goodbye first.
On the way back with Lu Qing and others, Xu Qi'an said: He did not lie.
Song Tingfeng narrowed his eyes: Perhaps, Liu Han was silenced because of other unknown things.
Zhu Guangxiao said in a deep voice: This case will be put on hold for the time being, and the ceremony of ancestor worship is the most important thing.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the emperor worships his ancestors, and everything must be moved back.
Saying goodbye to Lu Qing and others, Xu Qi'an pondered the whole process in the side hall, but failed, so he put Liu Han's affairs aside.
……
The year of Gengzi, October 15th, and Jiazi day.
It is advisable to pray for blessings, fast and worship ancestors.
Soon, the day for the royal family to worship ancestors came.
Xu Qi'an is not unfamiliar with this. At this time of year, the gates 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 asked to stay at home and not be allowed to go out.
There is another similar sacrifice in the beginning of spring, which is to worship the sky, praying for good weather and peace this year.
Since yesterday, inns in the inner city have been investigated one by one, and all the tourists in the outer city were driven to the outer city, and the restaurants were closed, so the inns were not allowed to stay overnight.
As a beating man, Xu Qi'an was arranged to stand guard in Sangbo.
Sangbo is a small lake, next to the imperial city, and willow trees are planted by the lake. This season, the willow leaves have not sprouted yet.
The water surface is built with a winding corridor connecting the white marble platform in the center of the lake. There is a temple on the platform, and four large gilded characters are written on the plaque:
Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers!
The place for ancestor worship is here.
Sangbo is not an ordinary lake. It has a history that is talked about and is related to the founding emperor of Dafeng.
According to legend, Sangbo was called Xuanwu Lake in ancient times, and the divine beast Xuanwu lived in the lake.
Once, the founding emperor of Dafeng failed to raise an army and fled to Sangbo with his remaining troops, and he was exhausted from ammunition and food.
Just in despair, the lake water was boiling, and Xuanwu was slashing the waves, and a divine sword that killed the sky and destroyed the immortal was inserted on its back.
Xuanwu said that it had been waiting here for hundreds of years, waiting for a man of destiny.
After saying that, he presented the magic sword and walked away with the waves.
The founding emperor obtained the magic sword and realized the truth in the lake for three years. He broke through the pass and gathered his troops again. From then on, he won every battle and overthrew the decadent previous dynasty.
After unifying the Central Plains, Dafeng established the imperial capital in Sangbo.
Sangbo is the place where the founding emperor of Dafeng was evident, and has extraordinary symbolic significance. Therefore, the Dafeng royal family holds a ceremony for ancestor worship in Sangbo every year.
The temple on the lake enshrines the Dharma image of the founding emperor.
Liu Bang also killed the White Snake and rebelled. I don’t know how much water the legend is... Xu Qi'an looked at the high platform in the lake, complaining in his heart.
He looks like a veteran.
In Xu Qi'an's previous life, cutting the carotid artery was a fatal trauma that was hard for gods to save, and he would undoubtedly die.
However, this will not cause death on the spot.
