Tang Yan curled her lips and said: "Why are you like this? You don't perform your duties, but you push things outside. Mr. Qiu is just the temple's guardian, responsible for the temple's rules and regulations, but not responsible for the investigation and handling of cases. How can you let him handle it?"

"

Although Mao Longgen could not refute these words, he was about to explain a few words, but Qiu Wuhen waved his hand and said: "Master Mao is right, this land belongs to Yunduan County, and Yunduan County should be responsible. I will go and see first, if it is true

If there is a murder case, report it to the county government immediately and ask them to send people to investigate and deal with it. Before that, I will be responsible for the investigation."

"Anyway, I have always been the county magistrate's criminal master. The magistrate has never relieved me of this position, and he still gives me money every month, so I still belong to the magistrate's criminal master. And the magistrate asked me to be responsible for the detection of criminal cases in the county.

So from this point of view, it is justifiable for me to investigate and deal with it. But after I finish the operation, I have to hand it over to the county government for disposal, so I will take a look first."

Mao Longgen didn't know that Qiu Wuhen had this identity at all, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it. He was so happy that he finally pushed the hot potato away, and said repeatedly: "I see, Mr. Qiu, this is your fault.

, since you have a responsibility, you should take the initiative to investigate and deal with this matter. How can you wait until I say it before you come forward? This is not interesting."

Qiu Wuhen smiled without any excuse. He walked to the cliff, felt the stone wall with his hands, and said to Yao Hulu: "Brother Hulu, I want to climb up to investigate the case, please help me."

The medicinal gourd responded to requests now. A stream of white air immediately appeared on Qiu Hen's hands and feet, and he immediately controlled his hands and feet. He climbed up the rocky mountain as lightly as a swallow, and reached the mouth like a gecko.

Next to the wooden box.

At this moment, the people below couldn't help but be speechless. They were all confused, and said to Zhu Qi: "The uncle is really good at it. This light skill is probably one of the best in the capital. It seems that Yunduan County is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!"

Zhu Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Of course he is a talent. Isn't it better to be a person who can marry me, Mr. Zhu?"

Qiu Wuhen had already arrived at the wooden box. He was not in a hurry to open the wooden box. He smelled a slight rotten smell from the corpse inside, which meant that the corpse should not have been put inside for long. Given the weather, it was probably not possible.

More than three days.

He touched the wooden box with his fingers, and sure enough, several fingerprints were extracted from the wooden box.

He touched the open space next to the wooden box with his hand, because the rocky ground was relatively moist, and the damp ground was actually less likely to leave traces. Apart from the footprints that were clearly left by Gao Yang, no other traces were found.

He looked around again and then looked at the box, which was an ordinary wooden box placed on the wall of the cave. The hole was not smooth either, and was slightly sloping.

Qiu Wuhen grabbed a corner of the box and opened it carefully. The smell of corpses filled his nostrils. There was enough light in the cave, and he could see the scene in the wooden box more clearly. He saw a corpse curled up in the wooden box.

There, from the appearance, it can be judged that it is a male corpse. The head has been cut off and placed in his arms, as if holding a ball, facing up, looking forward with eyes wide open, like this

It's really scary.

But there is not much blood, which shows that this should not be the first scene of the murder. Otherwise, if the head is cut off, the blood will be like spring water, and the whole box will be covered with blood. But now there is only a small amount of blood, indicating that there was a period after death.

After a while, the blood stopped flowing, so he dismembered the body and put it in a box, then carried it to the cave and put it away. The terrain here was very narrow, and it was not convenient for him to check the body in the box, so he had to put it down first.

Zhu Qi took two steps forward and said to Qiu Wuhen: "Brother, I'll ask Wanran to come up and help you take down the box."

Qiu Wuhen had this intention and nodded in agreement. He thought that this cheap brother he had just acquired was not only rich, but he also seemed to have a very good eye. He was indeed a good businessman.

The old servant climbed up into the cave quickly and said to Qiu Wuhen: "Uncle, I'll come."

He reached out and hugged both sides of the corpse box, took a breath, jumped down, landed on the ground very lightly, and then placed the box on the ground.

Qiu Wuhen sighed: "What a great skill. You can hold such a heavy box so high, and there is a person in it. It weighs two to three hundred kilograms in total. You can jump down so easily and stand so steadily."

Zhu Qi said: "This kind of martial arts is a little better than Jianghu's martial arts, but not much better. Brother, please hurry up and investigate the case."

Qiu Wuhen opened the box again, while the others quickly retreated far away, wanting to run outside the cave.

Qiu Wuhen was about to lean down to take a look, but found that there was still someone behind him. He turned around to look, but there was only Tang Yan, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?" As he spoke, he pursed his lips and faced the people who were already running at least ten meters away.

"I have never seen a person beheaded. I'm just curious. I don't have many opportunities like this, sir. Just let me have a look."

Before Qiu Wuhen could finish speaking, Tang Yan had already approached the corpse enthusiastically and said, "Who is this person? So pitiful, why did he cut off his head?"

Qiu Wuhen was speechless. How could he know that these women were better than the men? Not only were they not afraid, but they also moved forward and watched with gusto. What kind of thing was this? It was those scholars and officials like Tang Yan.

Compared to a young woman, she should be ashamed of herself.

"Miss Tang, aren't you disgusted? The smell is really..." Zhu Qi, who was a little closer than everyone else, said loudly.

Tang Yan didn't look back, just stared at the headless corpse in the coffin, and replied: "It's okay, I can still bear it for a while, and I will come out naturally when I can't bear it anymore." After saying that, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve.

Covering his mouth and nose.

Zhu Qi heard that no one from the girl's family came out. After thinking about it, he boldly stepped forward to take a look. He suddenly let out a sigh, turned to Mao Longgen of the Punishment Department and said: "Master Mao, come here and see if this looks like it."

Just like you, the former envoy of the Chasi Division, Mr. Jin Pengjin, will be punished in advance."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Especially Mao Longgen, who hurried forward, boldly took a look, and yelled: "It is indeed him, but why did he die here?

We had dinner together a few days ago."

Qiu Wuhen looked at Zhu Qi: "Do you know this person too?"

Zhu Qi nodded: "Yes, I hosted a treat a few days ago, and several of them came to participate. Among them, Mr. Jin Pengjin also came. He is a minister of the Provincial Department of Punishment and Chasi, and he is in the fifth rank. He is too arrogant.

Well, I don’t like him very much, so I didn’t talk much. I didn’t expect that now there is a world of yin and yang, and things in this world are really fickle.”

Qiu Wuhen said: "I want to check the body. Do you want to..." He waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to go out first. After all, this scene was a bit bloody.

Zhu Qi saw Tang Yan hesitating, thinking that if he left, wouldn't it be worse than a girl's home, but when he saw Qiu Wuhen wanted to do an autopsy, he still couldn't help but feel his stomach churn, worried that he would make a fool of himself after a while, so he whispered

: "Miss Tang, we are still..."

Unexpectedly, before Zhu Qi could finish speaking, Tang Yan had already said, "Okay, okay, sir, let's get busy first. We will go out and wait for you, so we won't disturb your work."

Zhu Qi saw that Tang Yan had finished speaking and left quickly. He also winked at Qiu Wuhen and followed him out, leaving Qiu Wuhen alone.

Qiu Wuhen moved the body's arms first and found that the arms had become soft. He took out the head first and put it aside. Then he carefully turned the body out and placed it on the ground, still lying on its side as it was.

First, we checked the body spots on the corpse, and found that they were all located in the low position of the side recumbent position. After checking the degree of decay of the body, the current temperature, the humidity of the water in the cave, and the humidity of the air, it was determined that the death was probably around the time of death.

About three days.

Qiu Wuhen checked the face and arms of the corpse and found that the head had not been chopped off. Because once the head was chopped off and the major blood vessels were severed, the blood would flow profusely, and most of the blood in the body would flow out, and the face and body would appear.

The pale face of acute blood loss is obviously different from that of corpses that died from other reasons. However, judging from the surface appearance of the corpse, there is no pale look unique to acute blood loss. In other words, the blood basically still remains inside the body.

From this, it can be judged that the body should have been cut off and dismembered after the blood stopped flowing after death.

Because only in this case, the blood will not jump out when the head is cut off. The reason why normal human blood flows out is because the human heart is constantly pumping blood out, and the blood can flow at this time. If

When a person dies, the heart stops beating, and the power of blood flow disappears. Naturally, there is no power for blood to flow out, so the blood will remain in the human body.

So what caused the death?

Qiu Wuhen first checked the fracture and found that there was no reaction in the fracture, which also confirmed Qiu Wuhen's previous judgment that the deceased was dismembered after death.

Qiu Wuhen checked the clothes outside the corpse. They were casual clothes, not official robes. The casual clothes were brand new and the satin was very good. Qiu Wuhen checked the pockets of the corpse and found a letter.

When he took the letter out of his pocket and read it, everyone was shocked. What was written in the letter was who killed him.

Qiu Wuhen shook his head and said: "I'm not that optimistic. Generally speaking, it's impossible for him to write such an important thing in a letter. If he really suspected that he would be killed, he wouldn't dare to take the letter with him even if he wrote it.

It should be carried with you, but should be given to someone. Since it is on your body, it should be just an ordinary letter from home."

Sure enough, when he opened it again, he saw only a few numbers: "The matter has been settled, let him wait patiently for the news."

The handwriting of this letter was recognized by Mao Longgen and was Jin Peng's, but there was no signature and the handwriting was rather sloppy. This kind of letter with a beginning and no end made Qiu Wuhen a little confused after reading it. Zhu Qi said: "Can
