Chapter 170
At midnight, Lu Jinping had not slept peacefully, he was waiting for news from Yunzi and the others.◇↓◇↓,
The servants who went to find Yunzi and the others finally came back to report that they had found Miss Yunzi and others and informed them that they were back. Yunzi said it was too late and they would not come to disturb the mansion and come to visit again the next day.
Lu Jinping has not slept but just waiting for her. He thought she would come to find her, but he didn't expect that she could not come, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad. But he thought that the girl could be anxious about her and searched for her for a whole day and night. This friendship is enough to tell everything, so why bother to care whether she comes or not to meet her now?
The next morning, the constable who followed Lu Jinping's guidance to find the body came back and reported that there was only one man's body in the woods, no woman's body, but there were some cut ropes under the tree. The constable had hired a carriage to transport the body back.
Lu Jinping checked immediately and it turned out to be the corpse of the turtle. It seems that Lu Niang has successfully left, but she doesn't know if she can return to the top of the mountain alive to find the antidote, maybe she dies on the road, or maybe she is saved, who knows?
Although Lu Niang only knew him for a day and a half, the experience of Lu Niang using her mouth to calm him down under the water made Lu Jinping unable to help but think of it in his spare time. Every time he felt the fragrance of his lips and teeth.
The first thing Lu Jinping did when he went to the yamen was to notify him to release Boss Gao immediately.
Captain Xiong and others were surprised and asked Lu Jinping with a smile: "Boss Gao is released, what should I do if I go through this case in Yunli?"
Lu Jinping said: "Yunlifeng was not killed by Boss Gao. I knew this at that time, but I set up a trap to let him say something I wanted to know. In fact, I had already confirmed by the river that the body in Boss Xiang did not have common symptoms of drowning death. All kinds of evidence proved that he had died before entering the water. Of course, in order to prove this, I accurately found out the cause of death. I transported the body back for an autopsy and found that the deceased actually died of myocardial infarction. That is, sudden death of the disease. Therefore, Boss Gao was not murdered by Boss Gao."
Captain Xiong and others nodded repeatedly, but Captain Xiong still had a knot in his heart and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, there was an obvious blunt-arm injury on the back of the clouds. What you said at the time is a fatal injury, which means he was murdered."
Lu Jinping smiled: "If I don't say that, how could I force Boss Gao to say what I want to know? In fact, there was no obvious life reaction around the wound, proving that the wound was formed after death. Didn't you notice it? The edge of the stone steps of the dock can form the kind of trauma that can turn the back of the head in the clouds? So I infer that the wound was just formed by the person who found the body and pulled the body up from the water. The back of the body hit the stairs of the dock."
……………………
Time flies. Last time Lu Jinping encountered a mysterious man who sent a turtle and his wife to capture Lu Jinping. After being tricked by his generals, it took several months and was safe and did not encounter any danger again. And there was a murder case in their province, and even a major criminal case had not happened, and Lu Jinping was also in a good position.
Time flies quickly. Spring passes quickly and summer begins.
It's just now that summer has begun. The temperature has risen a lot, and the whole world has entered a steamer. I don't dare to walk on the stone slab with barefoot. I squat down a little and look at the horizon sideways, and you can see the terrifying heat evaporating from the ground.
In order to hide from the sun, many people hid under the shade of trees. In ancient times, there was no air-conditioning fan, only a big palm-leaf fan. Of course, it was impossible for an official like Lu Jinping to shake the big palm-leaf fan. He was holding a folding fan. This was a movie and TV series that was watched in ancient times, and it was very elegant and convenient to hold it, so he bought one by himself.
However, the folding fan is not of great quality and it will break down soon and it will have to be replaced with a new one.
That afternoon, the red sun was scorching. Lu Jinping sat under the big banyan tree in the back garden, listening to the birds chirping and singing in the bird nests on the trees. They were the birds he and Ye Qingqing let go. Now they have grown up and are flying up and down in the yard, very happy.
He lay on a bamboo chair, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, looking a little sluggish under the scorching sun. Although the roots of the lotus flowers were inserted into the cool pool water, there was not even a trace of wind on this hot summer day, and the leaves above his head were still. The lotus leaves naturally drooped their heads listlessly under the scorching sun.
Next to Lu Jinping’s lounge chair is a coffee table with some melons and fruits on it.
Ye Qingqing held a big palm fan and was fanning Lu Jinping. Although Lu Jinping had an elegant folding fan in his hand, he was also breeze, but he could not take care of his whole body. The wind power of Ye Qingqing's big palm fan was refreshing. Unfortunately, even the wind blowing from the big palm fan was still hot and hard to bear.
Lu Jinping no longer cared about his image, so he did not wear an official robe. He also designed a pair of flat-legged shorts, so that Ye Qingqing asked the tailor to sew on his body. These shorts were strange clothes in the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang Dynasty did not have the style of shorts and were not elegant. Even if the farmer went to the fields to work, he was not very particular. He wore a pair of long trousers in hot weather, but Lu Jinping made such strange trousers, which made Ye Qingqing laugh for several days. But he didn't care, so he lie on the bamboo chair in the back garden to cool off.
Lu Jinping also designed a miniskirt for Ye Qingqing, but unfortunately, Ye Qingqing refused to wear it.
Lu Jinping really wanted to convert the pond into a swimming pool, but he felt that the lotus flowers in this pool were wasted, so he thought about it for a long time but gave up.
Of course, Ye Qingqing had a way to let him enjoy the coolness. There was a large wooden bucket in his bedroom. Ye Qingqing asked his mother and servant to lift the cold well water from the well water three times a day and pour it into the big wooden bucket. Then Lu Jinping took off his clothes and took a cold bath inside, which was equivalent to swimming in the swimming pool. It seemed to be very comfortable.
With Ye Qingqing serving him, Lu Jinping was in a good mood. He didn't want to read books, but just wanted to enjoy this moment of tranquility. Although there was nothing serious these days, there were always endless things in the yamen that kept him busy and finally had a leisure time. Why bother to work hard on yourself?
When he saw the doorman running in a hurry, he knew that his leisure time was probably due again. Why do troubles come one after another when he was enjoying his life?
The gatekeeper ran over and smiled at Lu Jinping and said, "Sir, the yamen sent me to come and say that there was a murder in Xiniu Village outside the city."
Lu Jinping sighed, stood up, and said to Ye Qingqing: "Prepare your outfit, let's go."
Ye Qingqing is used to the fact that Lu Jinping is in a hurry to drive out to do business when he is free at home, so he is not in a hurry. He is in a state of being alone with his close maid Su Sanmei to change his official robe, and then carry his forensic survey box on his back. The coachman has already prepared the carriage, and Lu Jinping gets on the carriage immediately. Ye Qingqing follows him and drives to the yamen.
After arriving at the yamen, the captain bear was already holding the constable and holding the horse, waiting for him at the yamen.
After Lu Jinping got off the car, Captain Xiong hurriedly stepped forward and briefly said: "Sir, the village in Xiniu Village is sending people to report that a widow in their village died in the toilet, with naked lower body, must have been raped and killed, so he came to report to the official."
Lu Jinping nodded slowly and ordered to go out immediately. He would not express any tendency opinions until the body was found, so as not to mislead his subordinates.
The crowd rode out of the city on horseback in a carriage and headed out to Xiniu Village. Fortunately, the village was not far from Tongzhou City, and they arrived in the evening.
The village was taking them straight to the murder scene.
The scene where the body was found was in a large vegetable field and a toilet at the entrance of the village. The body had been lifted out and placed on the grass next to it. It was padded underneath with a worn mat, and covered the whole body with another mat, revealing only a pair of feet, wearing a pair of embroidered shoes.
Everyone in the village came to watch the fun, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside. Until Lu Jinping arrived with a team of constables, the villagers were unwilling to leave. Lu Jinping frowned and had to order the captain Bear to drive away all the people watching the fun, so as not to affect the investigation of the case.
Finally, he drove away all the people around the scene, revealing a large open space. Then, accompanied by Ye Qingqing, Lu Jinping walked in with square steps and folding fans.
Lu Jinping has been an official for almost half a year. Now he knows that it was completely different from being an official in ancient times. Nowadays, officials in society pay attention to going deep into the masses and willing to be a ox. Few dare to be high-profile. However, in ancient times, this was the show and the requirement of the officialdom. If you have to do this, you will not be an official.
So although Lu Jinping was very anxious to arrive at the scene to check, these pompous events were necessary. So when he walked in a square step, he took the folding fan and handed it to Ye Qingqing next to him.
The body was wrapped in a bed of straw mat. An old man and an old woman were crying beside the straw mat. Village was following Lu Jinping and introduced: "Sir, they are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased widow. The widow's man died in an accident a few years ago and did not leave any children. This woman is considered a wife-believing woman and has been guarding her father-in-law and has not remarried. Unexpectedly, she died here tragically today."
Lu Jinping asked: "Who discovered the body first?"
Cun Zheng hurriedly said, "It was her parents-in-law who found it." Speaking of this, Cun Zheng hurriedly greeted the old couple who fell to the body and cried and said, "The Lord of Tongzhou Prefecture is here to investigate the case. Hurry up, stop crying, the master has something to ask you."
