Chapter 132: Wipe memory, Shaobai investigates father's case
Qin Shaobai woke up with a splitting headache.
However, he had no time to pay attention to his headache.
He heard a series of suppressed cries outside the door.
Sure enough, something happened.
In his dream, he dreamed that Xiao Qing and Xiao Huang suddenly went crazy, and that Father Xin was bitten to death by the two snakes.
And he seemed to be affected by the snake venom, and actually attacked Xiaolan, and seemed to have injured Xiaolan.
Hope this is just a dream.
Qin Shaobai supported his body and walked out.
The courtyard was full of people, forming a circle.
Seeing Qin Shaobai coming out, the crowd automatically gave up a seat.
Qin Shaobai saw Xin Bai lying in the middle of the yard. Beside him were two snakes, small green and yellow.
Qin Shaobai's gaze crossed Xin Bai's and fell on the little green and little yellow.
He actually felt a little heartache.
"Brother Qin." Xiaolan was squatting there to check Xin Bai's wounds. When she saw Qin Shaobai, she quickly stood up, helped Qin Shaobai aside and sat down.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with Dad Xin?"
"Last night when you were asleep, I heard a noise outside. When I came out, I saw that Dad Xin was lying here, and Xiao Qing and Xiao Huang were also dead beside him."
Qin Shaobai vaguely remembered that he seemed to have fallen asleep, and it seemed that he fell asleep as soon as he arrived at Xin's house and drank a glass of water.
"Did Father Xin put something in the tea?" the second sister-in-law reminded.
Xiaolan thought for a moment and shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with the tea. Brother Qin slept soundly just because he was tired from the journey."
The second sister-in-law glanced at Xiaolan in confusion.
Xiaolan knew what she meant.
They had originally planned to put all the blame on Xin Bai, but Xiaolan suddenly felt that Xin Bai's life had been hurt for no reason, and his reputation could no longer be slandered.
"No matter what, let's examine Father Xin's body first."
Qin Shaobai could no longer feel his headache. He stood up and walked to Xin Bai's body.
He felt a little sad now. When Xin Bai kept insisting that he was the God of War yesterday, he really hoped that Xin Bai could stay away from him.
Now, this loyal old soldier died unexpectedly, but it made him feel indescribably miserable.
He didn't know why someone would hurt such a kind-hearted veteran. Even if he had the belief in the Northern Expedition, it was still a beautiful wish that could not be achieved under such circumstances.
Xin Bai, after all, is no longer lethal to anyone.
"Do you know how to do autopsies?" Brother Zhao asked in surprise, his eyebrows raised, and when he met Xiaolan's eyes, they quickly dimmed again.
"Fellow folks, I'm really sorry that I deceived everyone yesterday. I am actually Qin Shaobai, the magistrate of Nanyang County. This is Mr. Song's most capable assistant, Xiaolan."
No one had any reaction, they just yelled.
This made Qin Shaobai a little strange, but after thinking about it, the people in Xinjia Village were different from the people in other villages. Just looking at the children, you could tell that they were not surprised at all.
"Brother Qin, should we send someone to invite Mr. Song?" Xiaolan asked, "I just searched for a long time on Father Xin's body and didn't find any injuries."
"It's more than half a day's journey from Nanyang County. How about it, Brother Zhao, please ride on my horse and go to Nanyang County to see Mr. Song in the Yamen and ask him to come with a few spies.
Murakami.”
Brother Zhao didn't hesitate at all, he directly pulled out the blue jade and galloped away on horseback.
"not me……"
Qin Shaobai wanted to say, I haven't told you how to get to Nanyang County yet?
"Master Qin, right? You don't have to worry about Brother Zhao. He often goes to the county to buy rouge and gouache for the women in our village. He won't get lost." The second sister-in-law explained, actually laughing secretly.
This laughter was really terrifying in such a place. Xiaolan glanced at the second sister-in-law and immediately lost her voice.
"Xiaolan, let's check these three corpses again." Qin Shaobai said, and asked the villagers to take a few steps back, creating a simple murder scene.
"There are small holes in both snakes. I believe someone used a hard object to knock the snakes unconscious or even to death."
Qin Shaobai followed Xiaolan's fingers and saw that the snakes had holes the size of pearls all over their bodies.
"Brother Qin, look." Xiaolan picked out a pebble from the wound with a branch: "It should be this pebble."
It's just a very small stone. Even if you step on the sole of your foot, you may not feel any pain. How much force is required to turn this stone into a snake-killing tool, and it can kill in one move.
Qin Shaobai was thinking there when he heard Xiaolan say again: "Brother Qin, look at this Xiaoqing."
Qin Shaobai leaned over and looked, and saw that Xiaoqing's seven inches had been bitten off.
Obviously, while killing these two snakes, someone was preparing to suck their venom.
"I think maybe that person knew that Xiao Qing and Xiao Huang were old snakes whose blood could cure diseases, so they wanted to steal the snakes, but they happened to be seen by Father Xin. Of course, Father Xin had to resist, and then he was killed by the gangster.
Killed."
The second sister-in-law said imaginatively.
Qin Shaobai wanted to laugh, but felt that laughing in front of the dead was really impolite, so he simply walked up to Xin Bai and opened Xin Bai's mouth.
This is what Song Ci taught him, saying that the dead person's mouth is the best place to talk. You can judge how a person died by the color of his lips, the color of his tongue, and even the subtleties in his throat.
"Xiaolan, come and see."
Xiaolan rushed over and saw Qin Shaobai holding Xin Bai's tongue with pliers.
"Did you see that there are snake teeth marks on Dad Xin's tongue, and his tongue has turned black, but..."
Qin Shaobai couldn't help but frown.
"But what?"
"Nothing? I have to ask my second sister-in-law, how is the relationship between Father Xin and these two snakes?"
"Oh, speaking of this, I really have to admire this old man Xin. He really treats these two snakes as his own father, feeds them fresh meat, chats with them, not only touches them with his hands,
Sometimes I even kiss them with my mouth."
As the second sister-in-law spoke, her brows knitted together, as if she had seen another scene that made her feel numb.
Therefore, Xin Bai will not kill these two snakes.
Moreover, these two snakes already have feelings for Xin Bai, but they will not bite Xin Bai's tongue while playing with Xin Bai.
Moreover, he could see clearly that Na Xin Bai only showed signs of poisoning on his tongue, but his throat showed no signs of poisoning at all.
Qin Shaobai actually understood in his heart.
Someone must have attacked Xin Bai. The two snakes came to help, but they were also killed by that person.
That person must have known that Xin Bai had the habit of being intimate with two snakes, so after killing Xin Bai and the two snakes, he pretended that Xin Bai was accidentally bitten by a snake, and then killed the two snakes out of anger.
The illusion of death.
But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't figure out why Xiaoqing had bite marks.
Xiaolan looked at Qin Shaobai who was thinking intently and knew that her mother's memory-changing method had worked.
Her eldest brother Qin only remembers a memory before he came to Xin Bai's house.
