Leng Yi didn't expect that this man committed suicide without even saying a few words. He couldn't help but stay there. Who was this man?

What on earth was he going to ask the magistrate for? From what the middle-aged man said just now, he knew that the magistrate he was impersonating did not hang himself, and died under this man's forced confession. It was probably painful shock.

Death or he had a heart or brain disease, which was induced by forced confession and led to sudden death. Then this person faked the county magistrate's suicide.

No wonder the scar on the neck was relatively light, but it was hung after death. Leng Yi thought that if he gave himself more time, he should be able to discover the real cause of death.

This man dares to force the imperial official to death, and he can die at will. He is definitely not an ordinary person, and what he wants to ask is definitely not an ordinary matter! Could it be that the county magistrate he pretended to be was actually involved in a shocking case?

?

Leng Yi had a shuddering feeling. However, he was not a person who was afraid of challenges. Now, he decided to go on.

Now, the body must be disposed of quickly.

In ancient times, there were no modern criminal investigation methods such as fingerprint identification and skull recovery, and communications were extremely backward. It was very difficult to verify the source of corpses, so it was relatively easy to create an unsolved case. Anyway, this is the capital of Bazhou, not our own Yinling County.

Even if a murder occurs, it won't fall on you.

He rinsed the contents of his mouth with water, took off the man's clothes and pants, and checked the surface of the deceased's body. There were no scars or birthmarks that could identify him, and he felt relieved.

He wrapped his head in clothes and tied it up. He rounded his fist and hit him hard on the cheek. He could hear the sound of the cheek bones breaking. The head wrapped in clothes had been completely deformed. It was already covered with thick

Clothes, after death, the blood stops flowing, so the blood flowing out is much less and does not seep through the clothes.

After the plastic surgery on his head, no one could recognize him now.

Leng Yi took a look at the naked man's body and transported it out of the backyard, took off the clothes wrapped around his head, and threw the naked body into a hidden stinky ditch. It is estimated that the stench of the body's body will be overwhelming.

When they were brought in, the body was already highly mutilated, making it even more impossible to identify the body.

He returned to the inn, wrapped all the things he left behind in the man's clothes and trousers, and put them in his own package, to be destroyed after he returned.

After doing this, he lay down to sleep.

Even though it was the first day after traveling through time, the novelty had not worn off yet, and many things happened, he fell asleep quickly. This was a good habit developed from many years of life as a criminal police officer. Otherwise, the criminal police would have to contact him almost every day

There are all kinds of impressive cases, and I can't sleep because of them. How can I have the energy to handle the cases?

The next day, he deliberately got up very late just to see the reaction of the two corpses in the alley behind.

Sure enough, after dawn, he heard the noise behind him, but he still pretended to be asleep until someone knocked on the door. Then he got up and opened the door. It was Master Dong who said: "It's not good, Dong Weng."

, someone was found hanged in the alley behind the inn."

Leng Yi pretended to be surprised: "Hanged to death? Who is it?"

"I don't know, but I heard from the policeman who was investigating the scene that he was a lunatic. During the day yesterday, someone saw him wearing strange clothes and with short hair, running around. The policeman wanted to arrest him, but he escaped.

Unexpectedly, he was hanged in a secluded alley in the backyard. Someone who got up early just discovered it."

"Have the officials come?"

"Here we come. Magistrate Liao is here in person. He has already asked the policeman to investigate. They say he died by hanging. There is no sign of murder. I don't know where the lunatic came from. The magistrate has ordered the body to be carried outside the city and burned and buried."

It would be best to burn the body. It seems that Magistrate Liao also believes that one thing is worse than one thing less. Once the body is burned, even if it is a murder case, it will no longer exist.

Leng Yi nodded and sighed: "How pitiful!"

Master Dong also sighed sympathetically.

Leng Yi took another look at the place where the middle-aged man's body was hidden. There was no movement. It seemed that the body had not been discovered yet. He turned around and said, "Let's go back to the county quickly. There are still difficult things to deal with!"

"

Master Dong quickly agreed, went down and asked the groom to prepare the horses, and then helped Leng Yi carry his luggage down. He didn't ask any questions about the extra suitcase and a bag of clothes.

The carriage left the inn and walked along the bluestone street toward the outside of the city. Leng Yi looked out of the carriage window, and suddenly, he shouted "Stop!"

The carriage stopped, Leng Yi jumped out of the car and walked to a jewelry shop on the roadside, Master Dong following behind him.

The shopkeeper hurried over and said, "What does this guest want to buy?"

Leng Yi had already changed into ordinary robes, so the shopkeeper didn't know that the man in front of him was the magistrate. Seeing that he was dressed in ordinary clothes, his words were a bit lazy.

Leng Yi slowly looked at the various jewelry on the counter, and finally his eyes fell on a silver hairpin and asked, "How do you sell this?"

"Three thousand six hundred yuan. No bargaining."

"Show it to me."

The shopkeeper took off the silver hairpin and handed it to Leng Yi.

Leng Yi took a look and found that the workmanship of this hairpin was relatively fine. What he liked most was that the hairpin was engraved with a pair of mandarin ducks, which were lifelike. He liked it very much, so he took out the pieces of silver found on the killer's body and put them on the

on the counter.

Seeing how straightforward he was, the shopkeeper immediately changed his smile and said: "This uncle is really discerning. This hairpin comes from the capital. There is only this one in the whole Bazhou, and there is no such style. Give it to your wife or

It’s the best for someone you’re in love with!”

While talking, he happily took the hairpin, weighed the silver, cut it with scissors, and returned the excess to Leng Yi. He also took the brocade box containing the hairpin, wrapped the hairpin with a piece of fine brocade, and put it away carefully.

Okay, close the lid, hold it in both hands and hand it to Leng Yi.

Leng Yi took it out of the shop and got on the carriage. Mr. Dong also got on the carriage and said with a smile: "The hairpin Dong Weng bought for Madam?"

Leng Yi put the brocade box into the package and said with a smile, "Yes."

He said that he would take good care of the magistrate's family, so I felt sorry for not bringing a small gift when they met for the first time.

The drizzle was still drizzling, and the cold wind blew. Master Dong kept shivering. Leng Yi had a strong body and was not afraid of the cold, but he still pretended to be cold. He muttered: "Why is it so cold in this damn weather?"

Mr. Dong smiled apologetically and said: "We in Bazhou have a lot of rain. It rains all year round. This winter is also like this. It lasts for more than half a month at a time, but the rain is not heavy. It is just so sparse. Everything is wet, which makes people feel tired.

."

Leng Yi said: "We only have less than three days to solve this case. Do you have any ideas on how to solve the case?"

Master Dong smiled bitterly and said: "Students just don't know how to solve cases. How about putting some pressure on Wu Captou and the others and giving them a slap in the face so that they can find ways to solve the case?"

Leng Yi shook his head and said: "I just want to hear your opinion on this case and what kind of person you think did it. It doesn't matter whether what you say is right or wrong."

Master Dong twisted the goatee on his chin, thought for a while, and said: "The concubine who was working outside the official was killed in the toilet of the Yamen. Her dress was untied, her lower body was exposed, and she was stabbed with a knife. According to what the students saw,

It should be a robbery. This man actually committed a robbery in the toilet of the Yamen and inserted a knife into the private parts. He was bold and extremely cruel and shameless. He must be a habitual criminal or a thief who is dissatisfied with the imperial court!"

Leng Yi asked him because he just wanted to find out the basic situation of the case. After hearing this, he felt that the master had a clear mind and it was good to be able to make such a judgment based on the facts of the case.

The first case he encountered turned out to be the rape and murder of a rich man's concubine, and it happened in the toilet of a government office. It was really difficult. No wonder the prefect had to solve the case within a time limit and did not accept bribes. Leng Yi also imitated Master Dong.

He looked like he was holding on to his long beard on his chin, thinking about the case in his mind.

Seeing that the county magistrate did not comment on his speculation, Mr. Dong laughed twice and said, "What is Dong Weng's advice?"
