Chapter 374 Clues

My condition is still bad, and my work and rest are still adjusting.
Recover slowly and you can always adjust it. I hope you can adjust it earlier!
The deceased's body bulged, his limbs became swollen and thicker, his chest was bulging, his skin was green, his eyes were prominent, his lips became thicker and turned outward...
This is a very obvious feature of the corrupt giant view.
At the same time, the skin of the corpse's hands and feet fell off, making it look like a glove.
Based on these many characteristics, Yang Shouwen only roughly tested and roughly inferred the death time of the deceased.
According to memories of previous lives, the deceased had this characteristic and the death time was at least about one week.
However, the corpse has a view of a corrupt giant, and it is no longer possible to identify the appearance from the outside, and it is even more difficult to determine the other party's identity.
Fortunately, Li Cutezi's identity is not difficult to identify.
He was limp and at the same time, he had one knuckle missing from his little finger on his left hand.
These two very obvious characteristics are enough to prove the identity of the deceased, which is Li Crooked, who Yang Shouwen is looking for.
After coming out of the room, Yang Shouwen took off the wet wipes from his face and breathed in a big mouthful of fresh air.
At this moment, the entire Shuimen Lane had been blocked by the government. Di Guangyuan stood at the gate of the courtyard, frowned and talked to the officers.
"Qingzhi, how could you come here?"
Seeing Yang Shouwen come out, Di Guangyuan hurriedly came forward to ask.
He knew that Yang Shouwen knew some coroner methods, and he had shown this ability before in Luoyang.
Yang Shouwen smiled bitterly and said, "County Master. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect it to be late."
"surprise?"
"Well, the surprise about the killing of the real murderer of Wang Yuankai's county zodiac."
Di Guangyuan was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face immediately became a little exciting.
Surprise, really surprise!
Since yesterday, he has officially taken office and became the magistrate of Changzhou County. However, Di Guangyuan knew very well whether he could make a fortune. He was only in front of him, not in the future. He could catch the real murderer who killed Wang Yuankai, and assist Gao Jian, Li Longji, Yang Shouwen and the other two to successfully launch the Huangtai treasure. His mission was successfully achieved.
Next, as long as he can stabilize the situation, he may be able to be transferred back to Luoyang in less than a year.
Early this morning, Di Guangyuan was preparing to review the files and investigate the murder of Wang Yuankai. But unexpectedly, before he could take a look at the files, he heard such a surprising news. How could he not be happy?
Di Guangyuan's father Di Renjie made a case like a god.
Although Di Guangyuan did not inherit Di Renjie's ability. He was relatively dull, but he was very smart...
"Qingzhi. You mean..."
He looked into the room and saw two officers carrying the bodies out.
"This person is named Li Crooker!" Yang Shouwen suddenly remembered something and shouted at Yao Sanlang, who was commanding the officers to inspect the courtyard: "Sanlang, come here."
"Shengshi, what are the instructions?"
Yao Sanlang was taking people to move things out of a yard shack. When he heard Yang Shouwen's shouts, he hurried over.
"His name is Yao Sanlang, a native of Changzhou. Because he could speak official language, he was summoned as Changsui by Wangxian."
Yang Shouwen introduced Di Guangyuan, then turned his head and asked Yao Sanlang: "What is the name of this Li Crooked Zi?"
"Uh...this is right, let me think about it.
Li Cutezi moved to Changzhou for about five years, and everyone has always called him Li Cutezi. Over time, no one has called him Daming." Yao Sanlang knew that this was his chance to show his face. After Wang Yuankai's death, his grandmother stayed in the county government office without loving his uncle. Now the new county magistrate has arrived. If he could act appropriately, he would not have been appreciated by Di Guangyuan.
He frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I remember, Li Gu, Li Crook's big name is Li Gu."
Yang Shouwen nodded and signaled Yao Sanlang to retreat.
"Although the body has been corrupt, after my identification with Sanlang and I, it can be confirmed that the deceased should be Li Gu, the other name is Li Cuzi, who is a painter. At the same time, he is also the person responsible for painting the woodwork of the county government. Before Wang County Zun was killed, he once found Li Cuzi to give him a new paint to the beam in the garden study."
Di Guangyuan was a little confused!
"Is this related to the murder of Wangxianzun?"
"certainly!"
Yang Shouwen smiled. From this point of view, Di Guangyuan is really not as good as his father.
I guess if Di Renjie had asked about Li Gu, that is, Li Crook. But Di Erlang was still confused and seemed to have not linked the two together.
"Don't worry about the county master. After I check the scene, I will go back to the county government and explain to the county master."
Di Guangyuan nodded repeatedly, "Since that's the case, please ask Qingzhiduo to worry."
He watched Yang Shouwen walk into the house again, and then retreat to the gate of the yard. Although the stench of the corpse in the house had dissipated a lot, the aura could still be smelled in the yard. This was really unbearable for Di Guangyuan, who had been following Di Renjie and was somewhat pampered. Since Yang Shouwen took over, he was happy to be idle.
"Erlang, do you know what to do this south?"
In my mind, the scene of Di Renjie calling him to the study the night before leaving Luoyang appeared.
Di Guangyuan said: "I should abide by my duty, be diligent in official work, be honest and dedicated to the public."
Di Renjie looked at Di Guangyuan with a look of regret, and smiled bitterly, "Erlang, do you say I tried my best to send you to Changzhou, is it really just for you to be a safe county magistrate?"
"ah?"
"I want you to put other things aside after you arrive in Changzhou, and work hard to find the treasure of Huangtai and investigate the truth about Wang Yuankai's murder. The treasure of Huangtai can add some weight to the saints. However, this matter should be dominated by Li Sanlang and Yang Qingzhi. You must obey their orders and cooperate with their actions.
As for Gao Jian, you don’t have to care.
In name, he was the head of the south this time, but his entangled nature would probably not be of great use.
In addition, it is to investigate the real murderer who killed Wang Yuankai.
Although Wang Yuankai is a small person, he is a child of the Wang family in Taiyuan.
Have you seen that because of Wang He's incident, the Wang family mobilized a large number of troops. Although it was later left unresolved for various reasons, it can also be seen that the Wang family in Taiyuan was concerned about their own children. To put it bluntly, this is a matter of face! Even if Wang Yuankai was insignificant, he was poisoned so silently that Wang family was still blind.
"You may not get much benefit by solving this case, but at least you can get some care in the court in the future."
Di Renjie sighed at this point.
“My body is getting weaker and I don’t know how long I can last.
I can no longer support the major events in the court, but you three make me a little worried. Your brother is tough, but too rigid. Sanlang is smart. Originally, I hope he can do something and help your elder brother in the future. But... Sanlang's career has been cut off, so it is difficult to help your brother. You are kind-hearted, although a little indecisive and a bit pedantic, but under the current situation, I can only hope that you can grow up as soon as possible.
The Di family is a family of officials, but the foundation is not strong enough.
Although the five surnames and seven hopes are suppressed by saints over the years, they have a deep foundation. If they can get along well, they can also give your brothers some help in the future. Therefore, when you arrive in Changzhou, you must settle the case of Wang Yuankai as soon as possible."
Di Guangyuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He also knows his own abilities.
It seems that Yang Qingzhi has indeed had the means. He has already obtained clues after just a few days in Changzhou...
There was no special discovery in Li Gu's residence.
The house is located at the end of Shuimen Lane. It is a bit remote and even has few sunlight. The stench of corpses in the house is still a bit strong, but it is much better than when I first came in. Yang Shouwen carefully checked the room and saw that there was no gain, so he turned around and left.
It was noon when I returned to the county government.
Gao Jian and Zhou Lizhen are not in the county government, so they must have gone out to find clues.
Cui Xuanwei and Li Longji were not there either. According to Pei Guangting, Li Longji followed Cui Xuanwei to Wu County early in the morning.
Cui Xuanwei was the governor of Suzhou, so it was naturally impossible for him to stay in Changzhou.
When he left, he left Wang Haibin and his troops to help him. As for what Li Longji went to Wuxian to do? Yang Shouwen had vague speculations, but he was not sure. However, it would be better if he was not here, so he would not be worried.
"Qingzhi, now you can talk about it."
When he returned to the county government office, Di Guangyuan pulled Yang Shouwen to ask.
Yang Shouwen smiled and said, "I'd like to ask the county master to move to the garden study, so I can start from scratch."
"Okay, okay!"
Di Guangyuan nodded repeatedly and headed straight for the Garden Study.
In the morning, after a few drops of light rain, the sky cleared, and the sun was shining brightly.
Pei Guangting said in surprise: "Dixian Zun, what happened?"
"Azuki has found the murderer who killed Wangxianzun."
"ah?"
Pei Guangting was shocked when he heard this, and his eyes immediately fell on Yang Shouwen, with curiosity on his face.
Yang Shouwen ordered Yao Sanlang a few words, and saw Yao Sanlang leave in a hurry, and soon came to the study with a brazier.
The study room was a little damp and stuffy.
Yang Shouwen asked Yao Sanlang to put the brazier next to the couch and put a kettle on the brazier.
"Speaking of this, I also accidentally discovered how the murderer poisoned Wangxianzun." Yang Shouwen said, walked to the brazier, saw that the charcoal fire was red, and then stepped aside.
"The day before yesterday, I came to this study by chance and saw Yao Sanlang taking someone to clean the room.
After I asked, I realized that Wangxianzun was also a elegant person. He liked to study in this study and handle official duties on weekdays. Yao Sanlang said that every late spring, the peach and apricots in the courtyard were very moving. While Wangxianzun was studying, he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of peach and apricots in the courtyard when he was tired. He was happy and probably could drink and write poems...
Wangxianzun’s death is very strange.
According to the report by the governor Cui, Wangxianzun died of poisoning, and the poison came from alcohol.
According to Yao Sanlang, Wangxianzun seemed to have a cleanliness obsessed with it and never let others touch his things. The wine pot was his commonly used wine pot, and he was clear every day; the wine was also his own peach blossom wine, so no one was allowed to touch it.
The wine was brewed by Wangxianzun himself, and the wine utensils were also prepared by Wangxianzun himself. So where did the poison come from? Could it be that he poisoned himself?"
Di Guangyuan and Pei Guangting nodded, expressing their agreement with Yang Shouwen's point of view.
"Qingzhi, did you find the means to poison it?"
Yang Shouwen said: "That's right."
He walked to the brazier and pointed to the beam above the room.
"Wangxianzun is a very regular person. After a piece of item is placed, it will not be moved easily.
The day before yesterday, I was reading a book in my room, and suddenly a drop of water fell from the beam of the room and dripped on my face... At that time, I felt like someone was trying to put poison into the wine pot? So I came here early yesterday morning. Yao Sanlang still remembers, what did I ask you to do at that time?"
Yao Sanlang hurriedly said, "Of course I remember that Zhengshilang asked me to move the ladder over, and then Zhengshilang climbed onto the ladder."
"Then you go and move the ladder."
Yao Sanlang agreed and hurriedly moved a ladder.
Yang Shouwen asked him to put the ladder and told Di Guangyuan: "County Master, if you want to know how the murderer poisons, please move up the ladder."
Di Guangyuan looked at Yang Shouwen in surprise and climbed up the ladder.
"The county master looked up and looked at the beam."
"The beam is so good... Hey, there seems to be a pit here." Di Guangyuan suddenly shouted, then stretched out his hand and wiped it on the beam. Then, he put his hand on the nose and smelled it, then looked from top to bottom, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. He murmured to himself: "Qingzhi, I seem to understand."
"County Master, what did you find?"
“There is a small hole here, and there is still wax oil around it.”
"ah?"
Pei Guangting's eyes narrowed and he looked up.
Di Guangyuan followed the ladder, looked at the brazier under the beam, and whispered: "Qingzhi, I understand... The murderer dug a hole in the beam, then put the poison in the hole, and sealed it with wax oil. When Wangxian Zun Wen wine, the charcoal fire will melt the wax oil, and the water vapor will wet the beam. In this way, the poison and water vapor fall down together and fall into the wine... The poison falls into the wine, and is quickly melted by the temperature of the wine, so the peach blossom wine becomes a murderous poisonous wine."
Yang Shouwen smiled and hurriedly bowed, "The county master is a wise man."
"How did the murderer put poison into the beam?" Di Guangyuan's eyes rolled and suddenly woke up, "Li Gu, right? Qingzhi, you just said that before Wang Yuankai was killed, Li Gu had painted the beam.
Then, Li Gu became the most likely person to be poisoned.
While painting, he secretly drilled a hole in the crossbar, then put the poison in and sealed it with wax oil.
The light here... is not very good. If you don't observe carefully, you will never find any flaws."
Yang Shouwen smiled and applauded softly, which also made Di Guangyuan feel proud.
"But Li Gu is dead."
After being proud of it, Di Guangyuan quickly reacted and looked at Yang Shouwen and said, "If he was the murderer, he might just be an executor. A paint craftsman, why did he kill Wang Yuankai so much? And now he has become a corpse?"
Yang Shouwen's mouth raised slightly, outlining a beautiful curve.
"Yes, Li Gu would not kill Wangxianzun for no reason. He must have a commander behind him.
