Li Qingcha nodded.
In fact, she had asked for this man's name when she visited various lawyers.
She frowned slightly and looked outside.
It was already dark, and Jian Zengren should have changed into loose casual clothes even if he was working.
Moreover, according to the lawyer's walking speed, the time spent on the round trip between the morgue and the government office must be more than this, so the two must have met halfway.
Then wearing official uniforms is not a coincidence, and the reason is not difficult to guess -
Get off the horse.
Jian Zengren walked into the mortuary, glanced around, and asked with a squinting eye: "Who dares to stop the government from doing its job?"
No one said a word.
Li Qingcha looked around, took a step forward, and took out his token.
"Master Jian, I am Li Qingcha, the instructor of the Young Phoenix Camp. I just arrived in Bozhou today."
"Actually... um... when did Lord Li enter the city?"
"Without an official position or position, I dare not call myself 'Sir'."
"Lord Li, that's not true. As the saying goes, 'officials in Beijing are three levels higher', and the ranks of military officials are different from those in the government. Although you have no official position, you are better than having one."
Jian Zengren's words were full of sarcasm, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Li Qingcha certainly understood that the other party was warning him not to meddle in other people's business.
But now that things have come to this, we can’t give up halfway.
She said: "If that's the case, then I'm stepping in to take over your duties."
When this was said, everyone was a little surprised.
I thought to myself that this guy really knows how to act crazy and stupid.
Jian Zengren looked at Li Qingcha's bossy attitude and couldn't help but feel suffocated. It took him a lot of effort to calm down his anger.
"What advice do you have, Lord Li?"
The word "adult" was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Li Qingcha said: "There are some suspicious points in the Hong family massacre. One of the bodies is not from the Hong family. After the yamen runners' deduction, it is very likely that it was the accountant or manager of the Qi family that was previously exterminated?"
As she spoke, she pointed to the corpse.
Jian Zengren smiled with a fake smile,
"Which yamen runner guessed that this was the accountant or steward of the Qi family?"
"..."
'...'
"..."
There was silence in the morgue.
Seeing that the prefect was not amusing, of course no one dared to step forward.
did not expect……
"Good reasoning."
Everyone was stunned,
"what?"
"I recognize this person. After all, he is a scholar from Bozhou. As a senior official, how could I not have an impression of him? His name is Lin De. He passed the examination two years ago. Moreover, he is indeed the accountant of Qi's cloth shop. I love talents. I felt very sorry when I heard the news. He didn't read the good books of sages, but chose to make those small money."
"..."
Admit it so easily?
Li Qingcha was a little confused about Jian Zengren's approach.
She could only follow the topic and say: "There is a saying among the people, 'A poor scholar is a rich juren'~"
Jian Zengren nodded.
"That's true. But I don't understand what's so suspicious here? Isn't it just a body that has not been dealt with?"
Chapter 205 Old Nia
corpse...
No processing...
Li Qingcha was a little slow to react for a moment, with a confused expression on his face.
Jian Zengren smiled and said, "Lord Li, you are a high-ranking official in the capital. You don't know how chaotic the management is here. This body should have been buried with the Qi family's. I didn't expect... Alas... I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Li Qingcha: ???
Damn, are you telling lies now?
It has been such a long time since the Qi family was exterminated, but this Lord Jian actually insisted that the body was left in the morgue and not dealt with.
The weather in Bozhou is so humid, it’s time to visit the Giant Observatory!
After a person dies, the soft tissues of the body will gradually be filled with decaying gases, the face will swell, the eyeballs will bulge, the lips will become larger and everted, the tip of the tongue will stick out, and the chest and abdomen will bulge. This is called gigantism.
Linde was very dry, and the time of death was about twenty-four hours, no more.
Li Qingcha glanced at Jian Zengren and had only five words to describe this guy:
No shame!
She turned to the officers,
"You have seen Lind's body before, right?"
The yamen runners exchanged glances.
"Have you seen it?"
"I didn't notice it. Who would want to look at such an unlucky thing?"
"It was there when I brought the body in."
“Who was the first to move?”
"This one……"
"Alas, knowing that the Qi family was wiped out, no one came to identify the body. Anyway, it must be buried, so no one should care."
……
puff!
Li Qingcha vomited blood.
If the yamen runners were afraid of Jian Zengren and were forced to make up lies due to pressure, then the matter would be easy to handle.
But looking at their expressions...
I really don't know!
Therefore, what Jian Zengren said just now, about "how chaotic the management is", was absolutely correct.
Li Qingcha turned to Sun Wei,
did not expect……
"Hehehe..."
Sun Wei laughed awkwardly.
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
Okay, there's nothing more to say, everything is self-explanatory.
Since there are no witnesses, we can only rely on physical evidence.
She said to Jian Zengren, "Master Jian, this matter is very strange. Think about it, if the body had stayed in the mortuary for so long in Bozhou, it would have rotted long ago, given the humid environment."
She pointed to the body.
"At least, the feces and mouth area is definitely not that clean."
Jian Zengren shook his head.
"Master Li, you don't know that our Bozhou is humid and there are many mosquitoes, snakes and rats, so the mortuary is very well protected from moisture. Look around and see how evenly the lime is applied."
The wall paint is almost falling off, but it's still even...
Li Qingcha frowned.
"It seems that we have to do without an autopsy."
"Why do you say that, Lord Li?"
"?"
"According to the Daxia Law, a corpse must be buried after being left there for ten days. Otherwise, it would be considered disrespectful to the deceased."
It seemed that the smile on Jian Zengren's face could no longer be hidden.
Li Qingcha is now calm and composed.
She held the scabbard of the flowing sword with her right hand.
"Jian Zengren, you want to destroy the body in front of me, right?"
Instantly, the temperature in the morgue dropped.
"..."
"..."
"..."
It was very quiet.
No one expected Li Qingcha to be so domineering.
The muscles on Jian Zengren's cheeks trembled.
"Heh, Mr. Li, it seems that you doubt me?"
"so what?"
"What right do you have to question an official appointed by the imperial court? Just because you are the instructor of the Young Phoenix Camp? I am acting in accordance with the law of the Great Xia Law. How can you interfere?"
Jian Zengren turned to the yamen runners,
"Someone, take Lind's body to the mass grave and bury it!"
"..."
"Go quickly!"
"promise!"
The bailiffs walked towards the corpse.
at the same time,
Clang——
Colorful light bursts out.
"I want to see, who dares?"
Li Qingcha shouted loudly.
At the same time, Jian Zengren felt his black hat shaking slightly. He subconsciously reached out to hold it, and suddenly found that there was a small gap on each of the wings on the left and right.
Jian Zengren was first horrified, then filled with uncontrollable anger.
Being an official has its own rules. What’s a threat to life?
He said sinisterly: "Mr. Li, do you want to die?"
