I am the best in the world with the crime solving system

Withdrew from the light screen, Chen Chaoyan looked at her: "What happened?"

Yue Jian came over with a medicine bowl, took off the cotton cloth that was bandaging the wound for her, and said while changing the dressing: "Shi Zhou Zhongcai committed suicide last night, and his wife brought the child to the government office early in the morning. The former was crying and talking, saying that it was Zhou Zhongcai who returned home yesterday and discussed with her to change to a bigger house next year, so he definitely could not have committed suicide. Right now, she is clamoring for Mrs. Feng to invite you to catch the murderer. "

It's not difficult to ask her to catch the murderer, but what kind of official position is Sicang Shi in the prefectural government?Chen Chaoyan thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply asked: "What kind of official position is Sicang Shi in the county governor's mansion?"

After thinking about it, Yuejian said: "The prefectures of the Great Wei Dynasty will set up six Caos, corresponding to the six departments of officials, households, rites, punishments, soldiers, and workers in the Shangshu Province, to assist the prefecture in governing the counties under the county. But Luyang County It’s just a county with a population of less than [-] households, so there are only three Caos, Sicang, Sihu, and Judiciary. Every Cao chief is a military officer, and there are other assistant officials such as Zuo and Shi under the military. Zhou Zhongcai is Sicang One of Cao Xia's assistant officials. As for Sicang Cao, he is mainly responsible for examinations, hypotheses, rites and music, official studies, private studies, etc."

Chen Chaoyan looked at the official status of Wei that appeared on the light screen following her words, silently praised the light screen as her eternal God Queen, and studied it carefully.

The official positions of the Great Wei are almost the same as those of the Tang Dynasty as a whole, the slight difference is that the official positions of the Great Wei are all carrots and pits, and there are not as many "same" or "concurrent" or "separate officials, deacons" as in the Tang Dynasty. Wait for the mess.

well.

He takes good care of her, a 'new' person who has no eyes for ancient official positions.

Satisfied, Chen Chaoyan looked carefully at the establishment of the county magistrate's mansion, and found the official position of Sicang. After reading the responsibilities of Sicang twice, he found the official name of Sicang Shi. Yue Jian said: "How did Zhou Zhong kill himself?"

"It is said that he stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger." Yuejian said.

Chen Chaoyan raised his eyebrows, stabbed his heart with a dagger...suicide?

This is really a technical job.

Chen Chaoyan asked curiously: "How many times did you poke?"

Yue Jian said: "Just a moment."

"For a while?" Chen Chaoyan questioned.

Yue Jian said: "I also heard from Mrs. Zhou."

Chen Chaoyan questioned even more, "Mrs. Zhou has found your young master?"

"No." Yue Jian's cheeks flushed slightly, "I heard it earlier, after listening to the servants in the mansion, I went to the front to watch the excitement."

Fearing that she might misunderstand, Yue Jian added: "Master, Bai Shao and I are responsible for taking care of you and your younger brother, but when we came to the sheriff's mansion, the servants in the mansion did all the chores. I have nothing to do, so I followed Take a look."

Chen Chaoyan glanced at the official list on the light screen again, and asked, "Master Feng didn't let Judiciary join the army and Zuo Zuo to check it?"

Yue Jian said: "That's right, Mrs. Zhou came to the government office to make trouble. Hearing Mrs. Zhou's crying, Wu Zuo decided to commit suicide because when the judicial officer Wang Da and Wu Zuo rushed over, Zhou Zhongcai was still holding the stabbing knife tightly. The dagger in his heart, none of them could break his hand with all their efforts. Wu Zuo said, this is..."

Chen Chaoyan blurted out: "Corpse convulsions?"

"Yes, it's the body convulsions. As expected of Miss Chen, I guessed it just by listening to me!" After admiring twice sincerely, Yuejian put down the medicine bowl, turned around and brought a new cotton cloth to bandage her, and said, " Wu Zuo said that body spasms are a very important evidence to distinguish between homicide and suicide, but Mrs. Zhou refused to believe it, saying that Wu Zuo was talking nonsense, and even clamored for Master Feng to invite you over, saying that she only believed your words."

When Bai Shao entered the room, she happened to hear her last words, and at the same time she came over with her clothes, she said: "The people in front of the government office have already gathered three floors inside and three floors outside. Mr. Feng is afraid that if they gather again, there will be some trouble. I begged to the young master again, and I want you to go over and have a look."

Chen Chaoyan nodded: "Convulsions in corpses are not common, so I have to go and have a look."

After the two waited for her to get dressed, Chen Chaoyan sat in a wheelchair and was pushed by Bai Shao to Suiyuantang.

Seeing her, Feng Shoudao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walked over and raised his hands and said, "I'm going to trouble Miss Chen again."

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "Let's go, first go to the scene where Zhou Zhongcai committed suicide."

"Let's go after dinner." Xie Xuan stopped him.

"Go now..."

"I said, let's go after dinner." Xie Xuan interrupted her with words that could not be discussed.

Chen Chaoyan looked at him coldly.

Xie Xuan was still in the same ostentation as yesterday, but today he did not lie on the imperial concubine's couch, but sat in a carved pear wood chair in an irregular manner.Seeing her look, he tapped on the handrail with his fingers, and said as a matter of course: "I can't eat after seeing the corpse."

"You can..." No.

Before Chen Chaoyan finished speaking, Xie Xuan interrupted her with a half-smile, "Why, you want to run away behind my back?"

When this person is reasonable, he is very reasonable.When he is unreasonable, no one can stand against him.Chen Chaoyan, who has a deep understanding and does not want to waste time on these unnecessary things, compromised and said to Feng Shoudao: "You should arrange someone to protect the scene where Mr. Zhou committed suicide. Before I go, no one should be allowed to near."

Feng Shoudao should be, turned around and arranged for Wang Da to go.

Afterwards, taking advantage of the gap between meal preparations, Feng Shoudao took the initiative to hand over the case to Chen Chaoyan, and asked for advice: "Wu Zuo said that body spasms are important evidence to distinguish suicide from homicide. Is this correct or not?"

"Theoretically speaking, it's correct." Chen Chaoyan opened his mouth, and Xie Xuan sent the two famous actresses away.

Chen Chaoyan looked at him appreciatively, opened the case file, and continued, "If it was a homicide and then disguised as suicide, the corpse's hand would not hold the dagger tightly. Even if it happened to hold it, it would still be in a relaxed state. And there will be no phenomenon that you can’t break it apart. Because after death, the corpse will first go through a stage of muscle relaxation, and then transition to rigor. The spasm of the corpse directly skips the stage of muscle relaxation. in the state of death until rigor mortis appears."

"Generally speaking, cadaveric spasms are artificial and cannot be faked."

Feng Shoudao sighed: "So, Zhou Zhongcai committed suicide."

"I'm just saying generally speaking, but I didn't say that it must be." Chen Chaoyan looked at the list of corpses mixed in the case file, and said softly.

The time of Zhou Zhongcai's death recorded in the cadaver form is when Choushichu arrived at Maoshizheng.

The basis of the judgment is the plaques on the corpse that can disappear according to them.

The corpse drank alcohol before death, but was not poisoned, and there was no trauma on the body.

Coupled with the phenomenon of corpse convulsions, it is reasonable to judge that suicide is reasonable.

Chen Chaoyan looked at Wang Da's investigation again.

The place where Zhou Zhongcai died was the study, which was next to the outer wall of the courtyard, and separated from his and Mrs. Zhou's bedrooms by a small garden about thirty feet long.Zhou Zhongcai committed suicide in the chair in front of the desk. On the desk was a jug upside down. Next to the jug were two half-folded and half-sheet loan deeds from the cabinet. The total amount of the deeds amounted to five hundred guan.

Judging from the time on the deed, Zhou Zhongcai borrowed the money in September and November last year and repaid it in two years.When the principal and interest are added together, a total of nearly [-] guan is required to be repaid, and almost [-] guan is required to be repaid every month.

He has not paid back the money for three months.

Apart from that.

The doors and windows of the study room are normal and there is no damage.

The house was also normal, and no signs of fighting were found.

It seems that Zhou Zhongcai chose to commit suicide because he could not pay the loan.
