Chapter 39: One Corpse and Two Lives
"One corpse and two lives?"
Xue Ping was stunned. Not only did he recite the file, it was almost the same. After all, there was only so much content in it. Besides, Deng Shuhui is an unmarried girl, this...
"Mingfu was not mistaken? No, my subordinates have no other meaning..."
Zhou Ze waved his hand, pointed to the pelvis of the corpse, bent down and picked up a skull the size of a man's fist. In an instant, the sound of breathing around him was filled with breathing.
"Following the pelvis, the deceased should have a bulge, so the development of the fetus is limited. However, judging from the size of the skull, the fetus is five or six months old. Could this child be Lu Bingwen's?"
Zhou Ze murmured to himself, constantly analyzing the situation.
Xue Ping, who was standing beside him, jumped up instantly, trying to bring someone over to ask questions.
Zhou Ze raised his hand and stopped him.
"I asked someone to bring the corpse back to the county government office, and Lu Bingwen and these neighbors took them back together. Then they went to the court to ask about the case. You should take a step back ten steps."
After saying that, Zhou Ze did not get up, so he asked for ten silver needles at Sanbao, and everyone stepped back.
I inserted a silver needle around my bones and clothes, waited for a while, and took it to observe. Five of the silver needles were slightly black.
Zhou Ze pursed his lips. The silver needle could not detect all poisons, but it would turn black when it came into contact with sulfur and sulfide. The poisons that could be used in ancient times were mainly arsenic, but they could not be detected at this moment?
Just as he was thinking, Zhou Ze moved his spirit and raised his hand to poke Xiaobai. Xiaobai moved lazily.
"what?"
"Can you smell it? What kind of poison is it?"
Xiaobai looked dissatisfied, but he still approached the silver needle and sniffed it.
"It's arsenic."
Zhou Ze patted her butt with satisfaction, put away the silver needle, and waved his hand at Xue Ping.
Xiaobai changed his position and lay down, and Xue Ping ran over quickly.
"You send someone to check whether Lu Bingwen had bought incense or arsenic before March 28, 2018. This is the most important thing. If you find a certificate, it is best to have an account before you can make a decision."
Xue Ping was confused and didn't know why Zhou Ze checked this, but he still nodded vigorously.
"I'm really worried about leaving this subordinate to someone else."
Yan Bi Xue Ping quickly ordered everyone to move, and the three treasures tore the coarse cloth into small pieces and distributed it. Each person's corpse was wrapped separately, with a note on it, indicating whose corpse was.
As for these coffins, they have not moved for the time being, after all, they will have to be restored to their original state in the future.
Xue Ping took a few people and left first on a fast horse.
The rest of the people still walked back to the county government slowly. Lu Bingwen was confused at this time. After all, he didn't ask any more questions, and the ghost in his heart became much more indifferent.
It took nearly an hour before everyone returned to the county government office.
Without Zhou Ze's instructions, Lu Bingwen has been taken to the lobby, and Cui Wenbin is already waiting. It seems that he has learned about this in advance and nodded slightly when he sees Zhou Ze.
The neighbors were confused and stood in the lobby with a little nervousness.
Zhou Ze sat down, Xue Ping and his people had already run in, nodded vigorously at Zhou Ze, pointed to a middle-aged man beside him, and patted the account book in his hand, Zhou Ze understood it.
It seems that the final evidence has been found.
Bang,
After taking a photo of the gavel, everyone subconsciously shivered.
Zhou Ze glanced at the bottom and waved his hand at the bad guy.
Deng Shuhui's corpse was placed in a tray and spread out the cloth wrapped on it. Two skulls, one large and one small, were very conspicuous.
With such a sudden action, several neighbors were so scared that they took a step back.
"After this official's autopsy, Deng Shuhui was five or six months pregnant when she died. A fetal skull was found in the middle of her corpse. Looking at the shape of her pelvis, it should be a bulb for a while. Is Lu Bingwen your child?"
Lu Bingwen shook his head vigorously.
Just as I was about to speak, I was kicked by a bad person and lay directly on the ground.
His cheeks were trembling involuntarily. This was not like fear, but more like anger. He had not married a fiancée and had children with others. He had been suppressed for ten years and was suddenly mentioned. This kind of anger cannot be endured.
Lu Bingwen lost his previous indifference, and the ghost on his body had turned green and kept slapping Lu Bingwen's head.
"Precaution! Remember, you don't know about this, so hurry up and push it clean."
As the heart ghost shouted, his body began to melt, and he saw Lu Bingwen's back wet.
"No, this kid is not mine! I haven't touched her with a single finger."
Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows and was not in a hurry at all. The best way to attack a person is to break through his psychological defense line. Zhou Ze is patient.
"Oh? Don't worry, we'll calculate. The Deng family was killed on March 28, 2018, and the sixth month was that of Changhe. Deng Shuhui was pregnant in October 2018, so where are the neighbors?"
The three people standing next to him quickly knelt down and one of the old men said.
"When we returned to the Ming Mansion, the four of us and the butcher Deng were originally neighbors, and the young man was named Cao Jiang."
"The grass is safe and sound."
"Minister woman Zou."
Zhou Ze raised his hand.
"Get up and reply, I ask you, do you know when Deng Shuhui and Lu Bingwen from the Deng Butcher family got engaged?"
All three stood up and stood on one side with their hands hanging down.
The two old men shook their heads, as if they didn't know, and the woman Zou quickly said:
"When I returned to the Ming Mansion, the civilian woman had heard Deng's butcher's wife say several times. After the autumn harvest, Lu Bingwen asked the matchmaker to talk to him many times, but he never agreed. Shuhui had a few more troubles because of this.
Later, it seemed that the eldest son of the Deng family caused trouble and accidentally injured a foreigner. Lu Bingwen came forward to help reconcile and appease the foreigner, and then he concluded the lawsuit.
The Deng family had no choice but to agree to the marriage, but Shuhui had always disagreed and was still fed with seeking death. The Deng family's wife said that she seemed to be waiting for someone to come back. The private woman remembered clearly that the Chinese New Year was almost over at that time.
Then, after the Chinese New Year, at the end of February and early March, the Deng family looked for Lu Bingwen, and seemed to want to withdraw from the marriage, and they had to pay the betrothal gift twice, but they didn't make it after a long time of struggle."
The old man named Cao Jiang seemed to remember and bowed and said:
"The young old man remembered that the eldest son of the Deng family rescued a fainting poor scholar in the countryside. Deng butcher Deng was kind-hearted and took him in. The man lived in their house for four or five months and wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam.
At that time, the county government notice posted a list of documents, saying that it was the first month of the seventh year of Changhe that it would add a spring examination. Then he hurriedly left in the early November of the sixth year of Changhe, but this person never returned to Jiang again.
Alas, I don’t know if the person Shuhui is waiting for is him.”
Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows. This was an unexpected gain. After being rescued, a poor scholar still hooked up with his savior's sister. After eating it, he finally lost all the news. It was so cruel!
"Can you know who this person's surname is?"
Cao Jiang shook his head.
"I know that the scholar's surname is Liu."
Zou thought for a while and looked up at Zhou Ze.
"The scholar is called Liu Xiusheng."
Zhou Ze looked at Lu Bingwen, and his cheeks kept bulging, as if he was biting his back teeth hard.
"Official Lu Bingwen asked you, why don't you allow the Deng family to break the engagement?"
Lu Bingwen is tough.
"It is said that it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. The Ming Mansion's words puzzled the people. I like Deng Shuhui naturally, otherwise how could there be a marriage contract? When will the Kaihua of Tang Dynasty be allowed to propose marriage at will? As for the Deng family, it has nothing to do with me."
"Oh? Do you recognize Liu Xiusheng, a scholar funded by the Deng family?"
Lu Bingwen shook his head.
"I don't recognize it."
"Xue Shaofu, when will the autumn harvest in Hejiang be there?"
Xue Ping quickly bowed and replied:
"When returning to Mingfu, the autumn harvest is from the first to the fifth day of the October 1st to the fifth day of the year, and it remains unchanged over the years."
Zhou Ze raised his eyebrows, and the timeline is now clear.
"After Lu Bingwen harvested, he asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, but Deng Shuhui refused, and repeatedly failed. The scholar funded by the Deng family left in early November. The eldest son of the Deng family hurt people, Lu Bingwen helped to solve the problem, and the Deng family agreed to the marriage.
In February of the seventh year of Changhe, it was discovered that Deng Shuhui was pregnant. Deng Shuhui forced her to die, so the Deng family wanted to regret the marriage and paid the betrothal gift twice, but Lu Bingwen refused.
Then you know that Deng Shuhui is pregnant and has a embarrassed face. She has a murderous intention to kill the Deng family. She drugged and knocked down all the Deng family members, and killed all thirteen members of the Deng family at night. Why didn’t Lu Bingwen come to the real trick?"
Lu Bingwen panicked and crawled in the hall, refusing to accept it.
"Caomin has no, Caomin doesn't know that Deng Shuhui is pregnant, and he doesn't know that Deng's family is so unbearable. If he knew, how could he disagreed with the break-up? This is speculation and there is no evidence."
Zhou Ze smiled.
