Chapter 143 Commissioned by the magistrate

Currently, three suicides have been investigated, and one of them clearly had no contact with the little white flower. So whether this flower was the cause of their sudden suicide without any warning has to be questioned.

Seeing that Qiu Wuhen couldn't find anything useful, he said goodbye and left.

When Qiu Wuhen went in just now, he did not ask Linghu Zhi and the others to follow him. Linghu Zhi and the others also knew that Qiu Wuhen was investigating the case and that no one else could participate, so they did not come in.

After Qiu Wuhen came out, Chuncan said: "Let's go to the Yamen quickly to see the man who cut off his own hands and feet. You can't see anything here. The oil pan is hot and you don't dare to go near it."

Qiu Wuhen, a beautiful little girl who likes to watch the excitement, is speechless. Someone is so interested in these bloody things.

They squeezed out the crowd again. They had carriages and horses, and they quickly arrived at the large square of the Yamen.

In front of the Yamen is a very wide square. In the middle of the square stands a flagpole. On the top of the flagpole is a large square bucket. On it sits the torso of a man without a head, legs and left hand.

His limbs and head fell to the ground under the flagpole and were scattered, forming a large pool of blood on the ground.

The venue is large and can be seen from a distance, so not many people get close. After all, it is too bloody, so I would rather watch from a distance and chatter.

Qiu Wuhen and the others squeezed in easily and arrived under the flagpole.

There were already several people crying under the flagpole, and they were discussing buying a coffin to collect the body. After asking, they learned that they were the family members of the deceased young man, one of whom was his younger brother, and the others were neighbors.

Qiu Wuhen then revealed his identity, and his younger brother cried and followed Qiu Wuhen out of the circle and came to a place far away from the crowd.

Qiu Wuhen asked: "Do you know why he committed suicide?"

His brother cried and wiped his tears, "I really don't know why he committed suicide. He died so suddenly. He was still fine this morning."

"What does he do?"

"He is a porter with the caravan. He transports things with the caravan to the mountains to sell, and then exchanges some local things for transportation. He makes two trips a month and will set off early tomorrow morning. He is still preparing things for the road today.

We were still talking about some interesting things about the caravan. As we were talking, he said he was going out. I asked him what happened, but he didn’t answer and then left. I ignored him, thinking that maybe he was from the caravan.

Let’s do it.”

"Later I found out that he took a machete from home, because the caravan often had to transport things outside and would encounter some bandits or wild beasts. So everyone in the caravan had to carry a knife.

The knife is very fast, I have seen it. I was shocked when I found out. I didn’t know what he was going to do with the knife. Was he going to fight? But I couldn’t find him. Later, a neighbor came over.

It's hard to say, but my brother hacked himself to death and died on the railing in front of the Yamen."

Qiu Wuhen said: "Remember carefully, has your brother ever expressed any thoughts of suicide? Of course, or has he shown any signs of being coerced into committing suicide?"

His brother shook his head and said: "Absolutely impossible. My brother is a very cheerful person. He is very happy and easily satisfied. And he has never had a dispute with anyone. As for someone forcing him to commit suicide, this is even more nonsense.

Talk, I said, he is very nice and never makes enemies with others."

"Is it possible that when he was out transporting the caravan, he encountered a bandit and killed someone, and the other party wanted to take revenge on him?"

"Nothing like this. His horse racing gang has encountered bandits a few times. But every time they encountered bandits, they would kneel on the ground with their heads in their hands and not move. Bandits generally don't hurt people, they only rob goods.

It's all done after leaving, so there has never been a fight. The leader of the caravan also warned everyone that if they are really robbed by bandits, they will not resist unless they have an absolute advantage. They would rather lose their goods than their lives. So he is afraid of trouble.

, no one has ever fought with anyone in so many years, so there is no enmity, he is just a porter."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said, "The last question is also the most critical. There is a white flower on the market these days. Do you know about it?"

His younger brother nodded and said, "I know, there are people selling that kind of flower everywhere on the street. They say it's a flower that grows on Yeji Mountain."

"Then has your brother ever come into contact with this kind of flower?"

"No, he doesn't like those flowers and plants, and he doesn't have the leisure and elegance to take care of them. There used to be too many wild flowers on Paoma Bang Mountain, and he had no interest in them. He is a person who just wants to live a good life."

"Then has anyone else in your family bought this kind of flower? Has he come into contact with it accidentally?"

"No, definitely not. If there was, I would definitely know."

Without any clues, Qiu Wuhen's heart became even heavier.

After coming out, they saw two brothers, Fei Wutong and Fei Wudan, squatting on the ground and vomiting. They had already vomited a lot. Obviously, the scene they saw was too disgusting and terrifying. Finally, after accumulating three horrific suicide cases,

On the fourth day I couldn't hold back anymore and started vomiting wildly.

Qiu Wuhen said: "Let's go back."

They walked toward the yamen, while Qiu Wuhen walked home. He wanted to go home first. After walking a few steps, a yamen servant shouted loudly from behind: "Mr. Qiu, please wait."

Qiu Wuhen stopped, turned around and looked at the yamen servant. He was a little tired from running over, so he gasped and said, "Mr. Magistrate, please go there. He is waiting for you in the mortgage room."

Qiu Wuhen was a little surprised and said, "How did the county magistrate know that I was back? Why did you call me?"

"Just now, the county magistrate was talking to someone at the Yamen Gate. When they saw his son, they asked when they went in. They learned that you were with them just now and were about to go home. The master then ordered us to come and call you. Maybe he didn't leave.

Far."

Qiu Wuhen came to the yamen gate, where Fei Zhixian was talking to Dian Shi and Ke, the first few people, and there were several policemen beside them.

Qiu Wuhen said: "Sir, are you calling me?"

Fei Zhixian nodded, pointed outside the yard and said: "Today, as far as I know, two people have committed suicide in the county, and they both died in public. Now there is a storm in the city, saying that there may be something strange.

It's going to happen. Such a horrible thing has happened. Some people are already preparing to flee the city and hide. As a parent official, of course I cannot accept the displacement of my people. I have to find out what the reason is so that I can report it to the court!"

Having said this, he looked at Capt. Ke and Dian Shi very unhappily and said: "The two of them went to investigate for a long time and found nothing when they came back. It really made the county very angry. Mr. Qiu, you are a criminal

Master, you are a god in solving crimes, please solve these two cases! Find out how they died, and then make it public so that everyone will not leave. The people are gone, why am I left here?"

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said, "That's what I meant."

Fei Zhixian pointed at Dian Shi and Chief Ke and said, "You must try your best to assist Mr. Qiu in detecting these cases and find out the reasons for their suicide."

Qiu Wuhen said: "In addition to the two people in the county seat, there were two other people who committed suicide on Yeji Mountain, and the way they committed suicide was very strange. One jumped off the cliff without hesitation, with his head facing towards the cliff.

He fell to pieces and was shattered to pieces. There was another one who was also on the cliff. He died in a very strange way. He actually hollowed out the bottom of a huge rock on the mountain road, got in himself, smashed the support, and made the rock

It fell and killed him."

The county magistrate, Dianshi and the arrester all had their hairs on end and looked frightened on their faces.

Dianshi said: "How could this happen?"

The magistrate even stamped his feet and said: "In this case, it is even more important to solve the case. Mr. Qiu, I will leave it to you this time."

Qiu Wuhen nodded and said: "Please rest assured, sir, I will solve the case as soon as possible and find out the cause of death. But to be honest, I have already started investigating these four suicide cases. I was by the side of Ye Jishan's two cases and witnessed the suicide with my own eyes."

The whole story. But to be honest, I still don’t understand why they died. I also conducted part of the investigation on the next two cases and asked their family members, and they all said in unison that they had no reason to commit suicide."

Capt. Ke said: "Could it be related to those weird flowers?"

They also focus on these flowers.

Indeed, this flower is so unusual. How could such a strange flower that no one has seen appear in the middle of winter? And it bloomed all over the mountain almost overnight, and among the four people who died,

The two of them are flower farmers who dig flowers to sell. Naturally, anyone with a little bit of intelligence will think of the relationship between the two.

Qiu Wuhen said: "I also have this doubt, but so far I have not found any inevitable connection between the two."

The magistrate said: "That's all, go check it out quickly."

He looked at Captain Ke again and said: "Take a few people and quickly remove the man from the mast, and then wash away the blood. In addition, the woman who was killed by the oil pan also sent people to help. Let's take a look.

Can you get the person out as soon as possible? How unbecoming is it to cause congestion on the street?"

Capt. Ke quickly agreed.

Qiu Wuhen left the Yamen and walked home, which was not far away. The streets were full of those kinds of flowers, which had a strange fragrance. Some sold them while walking, and some set up stalls on the side of the road.

Qiu Wuhen randomly found one of the stalls and squatted down, holding the petals with his hands. In his mind, Qiu Wuhen asked the medicinal gourd: "Help me analyze whether this flower is toxic?"

The medicine gourd shook for a moment, and then a string of text appeared: "This is a kind of snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, called broken snow lotus. It grows in the ice and snow. It is usually a kind of grass and will bloom only when the conditions are suitable.

, and the flowers have a strong fragrance. But the flowers themselves are not poisonous.”

"If it's not poisonous, how come four people died?"

The gourd disappeared without any response.

This question is a task that Yao Hulu needs to investigate by himself. Why should he ask Yao Hulu in turn? Of course, Yao Hulu will not pay attention to it.

Qiu Wuhen got up and went to other stores to check every bunch of flowers. The result was the same. It was a kind of flower from Tianshan that did not bloom often. It would bloom suddenly when the conditions were right.

It is not known how these flowers got here, but Qiu Wuhen does not intend to continue investigating this matter. Because it has been inspected, these flowers are not poisonous, and there are no ingredients that can cause hallucinations.

, just an ordinary wild flower.
