The Golden Age Chapter 581: Suspended beam

Qin Xiao glanced at Chen Xi and saw that although Chen Xi's expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp, he knew that Chen Xi and himself should have thought of the same thing.

"The thirteen of you have a rest day. I don't know where will you go when you rest?" Qin Xiao asked with a smile on his face, seemingly casual.

But everyone at the scene knew that since Dali Temple was appointed to handle the case, every sentence has profound meaning.

"Said it is four days, but in fact it is only three days." Jiang Xiaochun also cautiously replied: "When leaving the mountain, it is all afternoon, when returning, it is all morning. This adds up to one day. The earliest. At that time, there were only three days off, but some time was lost on the way back and forth, and then another day was added. Three days time, say a lot less, say not much, can’t go too far, just in Suzhou Take a stroll. You can have a drink with friends, accompany your family, and some are willing to go to the band to listen to music, or even gamble at the gambling house. Neiku will not interfere."

"Are your family members in Suzhou?" Chen Xi asked suddenly.

Jiang Xiaochun shook his head and said: "Not all, people who are willing to marry a wife and have children in Suzhou are also fine, but most of the people's family members are in Kyoto. However, almost all 13 people bought houses in Suzhou City. You can rest at home for a few days. If you want to move away in the future, the house will be easy to move.” After a pause, he said in a serious tone: “However, there are rules in Neiku. Send to Kyoto immediately and be punished by the princess. Fortunately, everyone is very careful. Since the establishment of Jiangnan Neiku, everyone has been abiding by the rules and did not disclose it to the outside world."

Qin Xiao nodded, thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there a person surnamed Wang in Neiku?"

Jian Xiaochun was taken aback, and Mao Lu had already folded his hands and asked: "Is your lord talking about Wang Zhubo?"

"The surnamed Wang of the dead Lord Bo?" Qin Xiao asked immediately.

Mao Lu hurriedly said: "Exactly, my lord... I knew him."

"What's his name?" Qin Xiao was surprised in his heart.

Mao Lu said: "Wang Tang!"

"Wang Tang?" Qin Xiao was startled: "No other name?"

Mao Lu is a little strange, but he still honestly replied: "Lord Wang's thin character Yuhe, but in Neiku, they are all referred to by positions, and seldom are called Dao characters."

Qin Xiao thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I will ask here for the time being today. Let me tell you, from noon to now, our group has not entered the rice. I don’t know how many of them are, but I’m here. My belly is groaning. Commander Jiang, when will Neiku start dinner?"

Jiang Xiaochun immediately said: "Neiku eats and sleeps strictly according to the time of day. Dinner must be finished before the unity time. Before the adults arrive, it should have passed the unity time, so the meal has already passed. But I immediately asked people to go. Light a fire in the small stove, and you can use the meal for a stick of incense." Tie Lin said to the school lieutenant who had been standing by the gate: "Tie lieutenant, please go down and let the kitchen cook immediately."

Tielin hurriedly said yes, and stepped back.

Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Xiaochun and others with a smile and said: "You are also tired these days. But then again, we came to handle the case, and without evidence, we can't conclude that anyone is related to Ku Yin's disappearance." He got up and said, "Before this case is over, please stay on the mountain and don’t leave, but you are free to move and you don’t need to be locked in a house. Commander Jiang, there are still some time for dinner. Why don’t you take us to see that one first? How about the remains of Wang Zhubo?"

Jiang Xiaochun arched his hands and said: "Everything is in accordance with the orders of the adults."

"Master Junior Supervisor, do you want to go together?"

Chen Xi also stood up and nodded.

Jiang Xiaochun did not delay, went out, took Qin Xiao and Chen Xi to a house in the northwest corner of Neiku, outside the door guarded two armored guards, but they both covered their noses with cloth towels, Qin Xiaoyuan Seeing it from a distance, it was still a bit strange. When I got close to the house, a rancid smell diffused from the house, and I knew why the guard put on a mask.

Chen Xi also raised her hand to cover her nose. At this time, a guard had already stepped forward and gave two masks. Qin Xiao knew that there were guards here day and night, so naturally he couldn't wear the same mask all the time. He must have prepared a lot. After that, I put it on. Even so, although the smell is a little weaker, it still can't be completely blocked.

Chen Xi and Jiang Xiaochun also put on masks.

The guard took the torch and opened the door. Jiang Xiaochun took the torch and entered first. Qin Xiao and Chen Xi followed in. The room was empty, except for a long wooden table in the middle. The top of the wooden table was black. The cloth was covering a corpse. Jiang Xiaochun stepped forward and lifted the black cloth. Under the fire, he saw that although the corpse's face was not rotted, it was swollen and deformed, and even corpse insects had appeared.

Jiang Xiaochun was a soldier, so he didn't care much about it. Chen Xi was also calm. The two thought that Qin Xiao would vomit more than ever when he saw such a terrifying corpse.

But Qin Xiao seems to be more calm than them.

Naturally, the two of them did not know that when the plague broke out in Xiling, Qin Xiao wandered around before being taken in by Mencius Mo. He saw too many corpses that died of plague and starvation. Many people exposed the corpses to the wilderness, even for several months. No one cares, the horrible look is more frightening than the corpse in front of him.

Chen Xi walked over and checked the neck of the corpse. Although the neck was as thick as a tree root, the strangle mark on it could be clearly seen. Chen Xi had been in the purple jail for many years and had seen all kinds of death methods at a glance. Make sure this person actually hanged himself.

"The marks on the neck show signs of struggling." Chen Xi explained to Qin Xiao: "It is certain that he was strangled by a rope while he was alive. When he was about to die, his body was struggling uncontrollably, resulting in Struggling marks appeared on the neck, so it was indeed strangled by the rope and suffocated to death."

"Is it possible that someone was strangled?" Qin Xiao asked softly.

Jiang Xiaochun frowned, but said nothing after all.

"It can be identified." Chen Xi said: "Being strangled from behind, the traces are obviously different from the rope strangling when hanging. At least it can be concluded from the wound on the neck. It is indeed not done by humans. ."

Qin Xiao had no doubt about Chen Xi's experience in this area, and nodded.

"If adults feel that the cause of death of the corpse is in doubt, we can find a corpse for an autopsy." Jiang Xiaochun suggested.

Qin Xiao did not speak, and turned around the corpse before saying: "Nei Ku Yin is missing. He is the owner of Nei Ku Yin and is in charge of Nei Ku. No matter whether Ku Yin can be found in the end, he must be alive. If it fails, the princess will not spare him lightly." Looking at Jiang Xiaochun, he said: "Fearing sin and committing suicide, such an explanation is reasonable."

Jiang Xiaochun nodded and said: "I also thought that Wang Tang was because of the disappearance of Neikuyin, and knew that the death penalty was inevitable, so he committed suicide. By doing this, he was taking the responsibility directly on his head, so he took the initiative, and the princess knew about it. , Should spare his family."

"Commander Jiang, do you know his family status?" Qin Xiao asked, "Are his family in Suzhou?"

Jiang Xiaochun said: "Adults do not know. Although we all work in the inner library, we rarely interact with each other on weekdays. We are responsible for the safety of the inner library, and they are directly responsible for the inner library. They are not in the same pot. Adults should also see when they come in. To the west of Neiku, there are many houses. Here are the officers and soldiers of Neiku. The warehouse is close to the east. There are far fewer houses over there. Although there is no wall built in the middle of the Neiku people under Wang Tang’s management, they are very well-defined and perform their own duties."

Qin Xiao thought that this should be the meaning of the princess. The guard and the inner library performed their duties and did not interfere with each other, which would reduce the trouble.

"So you know very little about Wang Tang?"

"I only know that Wang Tang is from Xuzhou." Jiang Xiaochun thought for a while: "His family members should all be in Xuzhou, but a younger brother is an official in Kyoto. He used to work in the Ministry of Households, but... .!" At this point, he stopped talking and did not continue.

Chen Xi said indifferently: "Leader Jiang, as long as you know what you know, you can tell it so it is convenient for Master Qin to handle the case."

"Yes." Jiang Xiaochun said: "The two adults should also know that after Chengguo Gong’s Zhao clan was punishable, Xiahou Xiangguo took charge of the household department. Although the household department was purged, many officials were removed from the household. The Ministry was cleared out, but some experienced ordinary officials were still left, and Wang Tang was one of them."

"It turns out that he was in the household department."

"However, this person stayed in the household department, but it was the princess's eyeliner that the princess put in the household department." Jiang Xiaochun whispered: "The princess married the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family was banned, the household department and even the Jiangnan family regarded the princess. It was easy for the father to buy Wang Tang for the Zhao family. Later, I didn’t know why, Xiangguo realized Wang Tang’s problem. Fortunately, the princess took the shot in time and saved Wang Tang’s life. Then he was transferred to Neiku as the director. As of this year, Wang Tang has been here for seven years."

"Time is really not short." Qin Xiao looked at Wang Tang's deformed face: "The princess treats him well. He has been a princess here for seven years, and Ku Yin is missing. Although he has a great guilt, the princess really does not need to kill him."

Jiang Xiaochun said: "It was because of him that the princess promoted his brother to Beijing as an official. In addition to his brother, other family members are still in Xuzhou. In the past seven years, Wang Tang has not been with his family. I met." After hesitating, he said: "One time when I was in the hut, I happened to run into him, and he casually expected a few words. What he meant, it seemed that he had been working for ten years, and he asked the princess to let him return home. His parents are still alive now, and he is worried that when their parents die, he will not be able to end the old man."

Qin Xiao sighed: "Of course, it seems that Wang Zhubo is still a filial son." He asked casually: "He is alone in Suzhou, so he didn't have a concubine in Suzhou?"

"I really don't know this." Jiang Xiaochun said: "On the mountain, we rarely communicate with the people on the other side of the warehouse. After going down the mountain, we live our own lives, and I have a different day off from him. I am At the beginning of each month, he is at the end of the month."

Qin Xiao looked at Chen Xi, and Chen Xi was also looking at him.

"Fear of crime and suicide can be explained naturally." Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Is it possible that his suicide was due to another reason? For example, the theft of Neikuyin is directly related to him. The Dongchuang incident happened, he knew I couldn’t escape, and I was worried that someone from Kyoto would be tortured to extract a confession from him, so I just died?"
