The carriage moved forward slowly. By the time Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng arrived at the Jiang family mansion, it was already afternoon. Gu Qiancheng had a good sleep in the carriage and was in good spirits. His Highness Qin was in a worse state.
, the right arm was almost numb from the pressure, but...
No matter how painful and tiring this kind of thing is, I can't talk about it, I can only secretly move my muscles and bones.
There was a seal on the Jiang family's door, which could block ordinary people but could not stop Qin Jiyan. The secret guard appeared, completely ignoring the seal and opening the door.
Three months have passed since the Jiang family's crime occurred. Although the scene was not damaged, no traces could be found. The inside and outside of Jiang's family were covered with a thick layer of dust, even the blood stains that had not been washed away.
, can’t see clearly at this time.
"The case has been delayed for too long. If we could have seen the scene as soon as possible, this case would not have needed to be delayed for so long." Gu Qiancheng looked around and checked every room in the Jiang family, including the kitchen.
utensils.
"It seems that there are only eighteen people in the Jiang family, so there is no possibility that the nineteenth is the murderer." The Jiang family is not very big, and it is not easy to hide a person from others.
In addition, although the Jiang family is wealthy, it is not a wealthy family. Although the things in the family are not equal to one person, there is nothing superfluous, and there is no trace of raising an extra person.
The Jiang family had finished the investigation and the results were not big. Gu Qiancheng was not disappointed and said: "Let's go to Yizhuang to see the body of the deceased. Maybe we can find something from it. In addition, you can ask someone to investigate again. Young Master Jiang's cousin
There is also the matter of the third young master of the Jiang family. Who are they usually close to and who do they interact with a lot? Ask more about the two of them."
Judging from the records of the case, Gu Qiancheng believes that these two people are the most suspect. One of them had an accident just after returning home. This is definitely not a coincidence. The other is living under the roof of others. Even if the Jiang family is kind and does not treat him harshly, there is no guarantee that
I don't think it's unfair.
Qin Jiyan didn't like Gu Qiancheng going to check the body, but he also knew that he couldn't stop him because...
When he met Gu Qiancheng, Gu Qiancheng was working as a coworker. Gu Qiancheng was very independent and not someone who would give up if he didn't like him.
A member of the Jiang family has been dead for more than three months. The case has not been solved, and no one has come to collect the body. The body has been stored in Yizhuang outside the city, which is only half an hour's drive from the Jiang family.
After Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng arrived at Yizhuang and identified themselves, the steward of Yizhuang immediately took them to the backyard room. There were eighteen coffins lined up in the room.
"Your Majesty, these are the corpses of the Jiang family. They are all here, with no exceptions." The steward was cautious and buried his head on his chest when he spoke, not daring to raise his head to look at anyone.
He has been working in Yizhuang for more than thirty years, and this is the first time he has met the prince and grandson. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid.
"Yeah." Qin Jiyan took a styrax pill in his mouth, but it still couldn't stop the rotten smell from rushing into his nose, and his face immediately became a little ugly.
Gu Qiancheng glanced at him apologetically, put on a temporary coat, put on gloves and a mask, and signaled the guards to open the coffin.
Three months have passed, and the corpse has long since rotted. Fortunately, the weather was cold during this period, and even after three months, we can barely make out the outline.
The rotten smell is disgusting, and Gu Qiancheng doesn't like it either, but this is her job and has nothing to do with preference.
There was only one external wound on the body, on the neck, but it was already decomposed. Gu Qiancheng could only make a rough guess, and asked the guards at any time to take notes as he spoke.
"The deceased was a male, about 25 or 26 years old. He was seven feet tall, burly, with protruding cheekbones. He had a finger-long fatal knife wound on his neck. The knife used to commit the crime was an ordinary kitchen knife, and the blade went from left to right without stopping."
"The deceased, female, about seven or eight years old. Three feet tall, slightly chubby, with a half-finger-long fatal wound on her neck. The murder weapon..." Gu Qiancheng paused, and pressed the pliers on the deceased's neck.
He poked the wound and then said: "The murder weapon was scissors. Judging from the strength, the perpetrator must be a woman."
After Gu Qiancheng finished speaking, he looked at Qin Jiyan. Although he didn't say anything, Qin Jiyan understood what Gu Qiancheng was going to say.
Her previous inference was wrong, there was more than one murderer.
Because he found something completely different from the case, the expression on Gu Qiancheng's face could not help but become a little more serious, and the next inspection became more rigorous.
There were a total of eighteen coffins, and seventeen of them were placed together in the Jiang family. After Gu Qiancheng checked, he was sure that there was no murderer in the Jiang family, and that the murderer was a man and a woman.
It was already dark at this time, and candles were lit in the room. The wind blew in, and the candles swayed, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, which made it a bit gloomy. However, Gu Qiancheng did not feel scared. He just moved his stiff arms and signaled to the guards to leave.
The coffin was finally opened.
The young cousin of the Jiang family, the man who the police said in the file was knowledgeable and courteous, was originally the youngest son of a scholar. However, his parents died and the family property was confiscated by his uncle, so he fell into the Jiang family.
When he arrived at the Jiang family, he lived with the Jiang family. The Jiang family was rich and offered to continue his education, but he knew that he owed the Jiang family too much, so he refused.
In the eyes of outsiders, the young master of the Jiang family is a gentle and quiet young man. The nearby villagers speak highly of him, but...
Gu Qiancheng felt that something was wrong with this person.
There was no evidence, just intuition. And soon, Gu Qiancheng's intuition was proved, because...
The eighteenth coffin contained only one stone.
"Sure enough..." Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Qin Ji: "Your Highness, the case has been solved."
"Young master Jiangjia Biao?" Qin Jiyan looked sarcastic, and then ordered: "Inform the government to arrest him." As long as the young master Jiangjia Biao is captured, it will not be difficult to find another female murderer.
"Yes." The secret guard responded, and saw a gust of wind flash past, and Yizhuang returned to calm. At this time, the steward of Yizhuang realized what he was doing, collapsed to the ground with a thud, and shouted in horror, "Your Majesty, you villain
I don’t know, the villain doesn’t know. The coffin was sealed when it was delivered, so the villain really doesn’t know.”
Qin Jiyan ignored him and only asked people to seal up Yizhuang.
Being able to hide someone from a gangster and secretly replace someone is definitely not something that the young master of the Jiang family can do alone. This case is worth investigating.
By the time Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan left Yizhuang, it was already dark and the city gates had long been closed, but none of this affected His Highness King Qin. Da Qin had a curfew and there were also rules that prohibited the city gates from being opened at night, but His Highness Qin
If you want to enter the city, who dares to stop you?
After a busy afternoon, Gu Qiancheng was also a little tired. After putting on clean clothes, Gu Qiancheng didn't care whether he was dirty or not. As soon as he got on the carriage, he rested his head on Qin Jiyan's lap and adjusted a comfortable position.
Position, "Your Highness, I want to take a rest."
His Highness Qin looked at his legs that were about to suffer a tragedy, and did not say anything. He just patted Gu Qiancheng's back silently. It looked like he was very skilled in the movements, which showed that His Highness Qin had done it a lot before.
At the gate of the city, Yan Qing, who had been waiting for Gu Qiancheng to come back, finally waited until the carriage came. His cold appearance softened a little, but...
