Chapter 30 Clues

Author: Xiyumu

When everyone saw Ling Changfeng staring at the suspect in prison, they didn't know what they were thinking about, so they couldn't bother them without authorization.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyan coughed softly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Ling, have you thought of something?" His tone was not as stiff as before. I guess he had hit a wall for several days in a row. Meng Ziyan also knew that the case was complicated and began to ask Ling Changfeng.

Ling Changfeng shook his head and said, "I have not checked the suspect's body yet, so I dare not make any judgments. However, although the suspect is dead, I asked something last night. That's..."

"Mr. Ling, no!" The Qin County Magistrate urgently interrupted Ling Changfeng's words and said hurriedly: "I don't know who the spy is at this moment, and the officials don't want to be aggravated by others. I also asked the adults to find out the spy before saying it!"

Ling Changfeng's mouth curled slightly, and he did not continue to say anything, but held his forehead down and said, "Oh, look at my memory, I almost let it go. Now I am the only one who knows this secret, and there is nowhere to be said. It's really boring."

Everyone didn't know whether what they said was true or not, and they didn't dare to speak out.

Meng Ziyan said generously: "Young Master Ling can raise it as long as you need it. We will do our best to assist! As for the spy, all these prisoners will be detained and interrogated one by one."

The Xu Fuyin on the side also nodded repeatedly and claimed to his subordinates: Lord Ling’s business is his own business, and Lord Ling’s arrangement is his own.

Seeing that Meng Ziyan did not mention his name, the Qin County Magistrate felt relieved and knew that he did not make things difficult for Ling Changfeng at this moment.

"The officials applied for detention and interrogation with the prison guards!" The Qin County Magistrate did not want Ling Changfeng to be difficult, so he took the initiative to make a request.

Meng Ziyan nodded and said, "Okay! No matter what, please take all the prisoners to the lobby of the government office for interrogation."

"Yes, Lord Meng!" Commander Ye took the six prisoners away with the guards, and the magistrate of Qin also followed behind.

A group of people were about to go back to the lobby of the county government, but the police officer led the coroner in. After the coroner saluted the adults, he stood aside and waited for instructions.

Seeing this, Meng Ziyan said, "You can take a mortal examination here and report it immediately whenever there is any situation!" After that, he walked to the lobby of the county government. Xu Fuyin looked at the body and hurriedly followed Meng Ziyan.

The number of people in the prison cells was now the only one left by Ling Changfeng, the coroner and two police officers.

After receiving Ling Changfeng's affirmative advice, the coroner immediately prepared the tools and began to walk to the suspect's body for inspection.

Ling Changfeng also followed him to the suspect and carefully observed the situation of the body.

The strips tied to the suspect's hands and feet last night did not show any signs of looseness, and the marks of the strips stuffed with rotten cloth in his mouth were not confused. It was obvious that the suspect had not been fed poison.

The suspect's death was extremely miserable. Black blood flowed out of his ears, eyes and nose. His bloody eyes bulged out, and his blue face was already stiff.

The cloth strip used to seal the mouth was pulled off, and the fang wax seal in the suspect's mouth was still there, and the tip of the tongue was bright red. However, the end of the cloth strip was still half-solidified black poisonous blood and traces of the soaked saliva. However, the weather was stuffy and the water had evaporated.

The coroner took out the cloth strip and packed it in a cloth bag. There was only the bandaged wound on the wrist of the body, which was the position of the tendons that were broken by Xiaolan. When he opened the bandaged cloth strip, he saw that the blood was bright red. It seemed that the murderer was not using poison in the wound.

He checked the rest of his body in turn, but no wounds were found, but there were only a few water marks on his collar. Just when Ling Changfeng was at a loss, the coroner discovered an abnormality in the suspect's nostrils.

"Sir Ling, look! The blood rushes up from the nose of the corpse is the darkest! In addition, there is no sign of poisoning on the tip of the tongue, which means that the murderer is poured from the nose!" The coroner hurriedly pointed to the silver needle used for the poison test in his hand and said softly to Ling Changfeng.

After the silver needle penetrated deep into the nasal cavity, it instantly turned black, and it still carried semi-coagulated poisonous blood when pulled out. However, the suspect's mouth was opened, but the tongue surface was slightly red and there was no sign of poisoning.

Ling Changfeng looked at Yin Needle, nodded, and thought to himself: If the suspect was poisoned from his nose, he should have been discovered by the jailer on the spot. Why did the jailer say that the suspect was not dead during the examination? It seems that he had to go and see how the jailer interrogated him.

After the coroner had finished inspecting the body, Ling Changfeng signaled the police to pull the body to the charity village. He took Xiaoyu slowly to the lobby of the government office.

...

Just as Ling Changfeng and others were still checking the corpse, Xiaolan was standing under an old locust tree and watching some rosin chips intently.

Early in the morning, Xiaolan came to the dense forest west of Luoyang City as Ling Changfeng asked alone. She thought that the old locust tree would take a while to find it, but as soon as she left the city gate, she saw a towering locust tree standing in the dense forest.

I don’t know how many years the towering tree has stood here and witnessed so many bizarre things. When Xiaolan floated under the tree, she couldn’t help but feel emotion in her heart.

Looking around, a shallow rut extended along the grass to the Luoyang city gate. There were some rosin debris scattered beside the ruts. It seemed that this place must be the delivery place for people from the ghost market.

Unfortunately, the rosin debris of the locust tree are only found in this area, but there is no trace in other places. Xiaolan sighed and her idea of ​​following the rosin to track down the carriage was instantly shattered.

Continuing to follow the instructions of his young master, Xiaolan took out a wooden ruler in a good manner and carefully recorded the width, depth and spacing of the ruts. After recording, she also dug some soil on the rut marks and installed it carefully.

After doing everything, Xiaolan finally let out a long sigh and muttered to herself: Young Master has arranged a tiring job for me. This investigation is even harder than a battle. Let the young master do the investigation and evidence collection next time, it is really not suitable for him!

After thinking about it, Xiaolan lowered her head and circled around the big locust tree several times, wanting to see if there were any clues left behind.

As expected, she didn't see any clues except rosin, weeds and locust leaves. So Xiaolan once again strengthened her idea that she was not suitable for investigating the case.

Shaking his pretty head, Xiaolan rushed towards the city gate again. After all, there was an extremely important place below.

"Young Master should have dragged this person at this moment!" Xiaolan thought to herself.
