The garrison is responsible for city defense, and does not include various public security incidents in the city. But at the same time, the city guard can also take the initiative to intervene when emergencies occur in the city. For example, when the city administrator is unable to perform his duties, or when there is chaos in the local government office.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Zhou Cang to enter the city overnight and attack the Wu Mansion. However, he would need to explain and report to the Yamen of Dongjun Daoxing and the Beijiang County Sheriff's Mansion afterwards.
However, after Zhou Cang received the news that Wu Yuan was dead and suspicious, although there was no trace on his face, the first reaction in his heart was Zhang Yan's hand. But he didn't expect that Zhang Yan was really impulsive. He repeatedly
I was reminded, but Wu Yuan was still killed in Langyuan City like this. And it seemed that he still had a hand?
This guess was also one of the reasons why Zhou Cang reacted so quickly and immediately rushed to the city to go to the Wu Mansion.
After entering the Wu Mansion, they were greeted by the head catcher from the local government office in Langyuan City who was responsible for investigating this kind of crime. This man Zhou Cang had some impressions. As he walked, he communicated with the other party. At least he had to do it first.
You will know immediately.
"The Exotic Land Development of Vegetable-Growing Skeletons"
"Sir, Master Wu died in the study room at home. According to the guards, Master Wu died in just a cup of tea. During this period, no abnormality was found at home. Moreover, Master Wu was clutching his chest with one hand when he died.
The expression of pain is obvious, and his eyes are bloodshot. It should be caused by the severe pain in the chest. Combined with the fact that Mr. Wu has consulted a doctor many times in the past few days, it should be the same reason. However, it is not yet certain whether this is the cause of Mr. Wu's death.
.
However, before Mr. Wu died, his other hand was clutching an unfinished suicide note. The words on it were quite urgent. It was obvious that Mr. Wu had anticipated his death. And there was speculation that it was a suicide note in the city named
Zhang Yan's crime was committed by the criminal soldiers..." When he said Zhang Yan's name, the catcher subconsciously glanced at the city guard next to him. Who is better informed in Langyuan City nowadays?
Don’t you know that Zhou Cang and Zhang Yan have a close relationship?
"Where's Wu Zuo?" Zhou Cang suddenly interrupted.
"Sir, Sir Wu is a local official, and the dignity of the body..."
"Everyone is dead, and the circumstances are suspicious. If you don't know the cause of death, how can you judge? Or are you waiting for the county magistrate's office to send someone to investigate and just stare at it? You can figure it out yourself."
The catcher swallowed subconsciously, knowing that if the superiors investigated and found that he couldn't even explain the cause of Mr. Wu's death, then he would be finished. Although the dignity of the body is important, the Wu family seems to have no direct line at present.
My relatives are here, so if the matter is urgent, follow the authority, and Master Zhou is here to advise me, so I really can’t delay.
So the head catcher quickly ordered the government servants around him to run to find Wu Zuo. In fact, they have been working in this business for a long time and can more or less see the cause of death. At least there were no external injuries on Wu Yuan's body, no signs of poisoning, and there was no struggle at the scene.
and traces of invasion, these are all clear. In addition, Mr. Wu has had frequent angina pectoris and consultations in the past few days, and it seems that it is more likely that he died of a sudden illness.
But that suicide note... and the people involved... made the catcher subconsciously want to lead him to "homicide". At least he had to take the person before talking about it? Otherwise, Mr. Wu would not be around.
The mess ahead is too big, and the hozens below will probably be affected as well.
Zhou Cang didn't think about the other party's little thoughts. Whether the local government office in Langyuan City died or not had nothing to do with him. What he cared about was that Zhang Yan couldn't be burned so quickly.
After entering the study room, Zhou Cang could only see an arm hanging out from behind the desk.
After going behind the table, you can see the whole body of Wu Yuan. His eyes were wide open on his pale face, and there were many bloodshot eyes. The other hand was tightly grasping the clothes on his chest, and he did not let go until he died. It can be seen that his chest was before death.
It must be very uncomfortable.
"Didn't you say you found a suicide note? Where is it?"
"Reply to your lord, over here, we are having people compare the handwriting, and it has been confirmed that it is the handwriting of Lord Wu." The head catcher was very panicked at this time, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his cheeks. He led Zhou Cang to the
On the other side of the study room, there were two government servants crouching at the table over there, looking at something carefully.
"how?"
"Head, ah! I have met Mr. Zhou!" The two turned their heads and saw Zhou Cang quickly bowing and saluting.
"Where is the suicide note? Was it written by Mr. Wu himself?" Zhou Cang waved his hand to stop the two people from continuing to be polite.
"Yes, Sir. The paper pulled on Master Wu's body was indeed written by Mr. Wu. Even based on the ink stains on Mr. Wu's hands and the scratches on the suicide note, it can be determined that he was writing this suicide note when Mr. Wu died. Only
But I didn't have time to finish it." The two of them introduced the incomplete suicide note and handed it to Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief after reading it carefully. Things were much better than he thought on the way here. There was no trace of what he thought would be left behind. The so-called "suspiciousness" was the mention in the suicide note that "someone wanted to
"Kill me" and "My only son Wu Qingling also died at his hands". But the whole article is Wu Yuan's guess, even unfounded guess. For example, "it must be a sinister means in miscellaneous studies" is completely conjecture.
Of course, another reason why Zhou Cang is relieved is that Wu Yuan was still alive when Wu Qingling died. Didn't he find out any evidence? Now, if Zhang Yan did both things, it should be impossible to find out.
That’s right. So the conclusion drawn at noon is the most critical.
Soon, two Wu Zuo came. They were the two best people in Langyuan City Yamen. Even when Wu Qingling had an accident, they were the ones who came to do the autopsy. Now seeing Wu Yuan's body again, the two of them felt that things were difficult.
material.
"Just check here, be careful, don't make any mistakes."
"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best to find out the cause of Mr. Wu's death."
Zhou Cang didn't leave, and just watched Wu Zuo make his move. Naturally, Zhou Cang didn't have any ripples in such a bloody scene. He was waiting to hear Wu Zuo's first-hand conclusion.
Although both Wu Zuo were very careful, it was not a complicated matter after all. Based on the shape of the corpse and what they saw after the chest opening, they quickly found the cause of Wu Yuan's death based on their years of experience.
So after the two exchanged glances, one of them stood up, took off his thin leather gloves, and reported, "Returning to Mr. Zhou, the younger two have found out that Mr. Wu's death was caused by a heart attack in the chest, resulting in massive bleeding." He pointed while speaking.
He showed Zhou Cang the open chest cavity, which was full of blood and did not look like a normal cavity at all. There was also an obvious sign of bleeding on the heart.
Zhou Cang secretly smiled when he heard this, but his face continued to be tense. He turned his head and glanced at the head catcher beside him, but did not say anything, but his eyes had already expressed his meaning. That is, the cause of death was confirmed, and the contents of the suicide note are worth pondering.
