Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Gu Qi walked towards the yamen with a hand full of gifts and a face of reluctance, feeling extremely depressed.

Isn't it just that a well-known crime-solving expert came here, isn't it just that he looks a little bit handsome, isn't he just a little younger, and the girls in the boudoirs all over the county are agitated, and they even make up their minds. When it reached his head, he asked him to bring the gift to that expert Xu Yihua who solved the crime.Gu Qi twisted something, full of sadness, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

He has stayed in Qiuxing County for so long, but he has never received so many gifts from little girls.

"hiss--!!!"

A panicked horse's cry sounded from behind Gu Qi, the frenzied hooves of the horses clattered, accompanied by the sound of ruts, and the sound of the people being frightened came whistling.

Gu Qi was startled, he quickly hugged a large pile of presents and took a wrong step from the side, narrowly avoiding the carriage.

"What's the situation!" Gu Qi looked at the back of the carriage going away in shock.

Hey, there seemed to be something flashing behind the carriage, but when Gu Qi opened his eyes and looked carefully, he couldn't see it again.

After checking that there was nothing left on the ground, Gu Qi raised his legs and entered the yamen, and walked to the backyard, ready to find Xu Yihua who fascinated thousands of girls.

"My lord, Mr. Xu, the food is ready, please move to the hall." The maid Tweet slightly bowed her knees and saluted.

"Okay." The magistrate touched the beard on his chin, turned his head and said to Xu Yihua, "Young Master Xu, how about we eat first?"

"The guest is up to the host, the students can just listen to Mr. Zhong's arrangement." Xu Yihua said with a smile.

Cui'er hesitated for a moment, then bent her knees and said: "My lord, Mr. Xu, the servant just went to ask Ye Xiashi to eat, but Ye Xiashi didn't answer no matter how many knocks on the door, this..."

"It shouldn't be." Xu Yihua frowned, then turned his head and smiled, "Master Zhong, please go ahead and let the students go to see Lone Pine."

"It's okay, I'm with you."

"Hey! Wait!" Gu Qi turned around the corridor with great difficulty, and he was about to reach Xu Yihua's side and handed over these heavy things to him. Tweety left behind, Gu Qi could only resign himself to his fate and follow with his things.

"what------!!!"

Just when he stepped over the threshold of Ye Gusong's guest room, a shrill scream resounded through the county office.

Immediately after something rolled to his feet, Gu Qi subconsciously looked down, and saw a bloody head stopped at his feet, bright red blood spilled all over the black satin of the boots, warm Viscous, eyes closed but extraordinarily weird, pulling out a winding and bright blood path on the ground.

"People... people... heads..."

Gu Qi's legs went limp and he almost passed out.

A pair of hands supported Gu Qi's body from behind in time, barely preventing him from falling.

"what's going on?"

The person who came was Zhao Ming who was working in the yamen together with Gu Qi. He was a few years older than Gu Qi, and he had some martial arts skills. He had few opponents in Qiuxing County. Qi's legs and feet were weak, so he helped him to a chair beside him.

"Are you okay?" Zhao Ming asked worriedly.

Gu Qi shunned his chest, still in shock: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just that it was a little scary just now."

"Zhao Ming, you came at the right time. You are the most courageous here. You take this..." County Lord Zhong Benli pointed to the head that was still bleeding from the ground, "Pick it up and put it on the bed."

"Ah?" Zhao Ming was also dumbfounded.

"No, I can do it myself." Xu Yihua's expression was very calm. If everyone hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the person who just died was his entourage.

But Gu Qi also understands that some master crime solvers are like this, because in their eyes there is no distinction between closeness and closeness, only the murderer and the victim.Only by not adding any selfishness in the process of solving the case can we not be confused by foreign objects and find out the real murderer.

Putting the head back on the bed, Xu Yihua bent down, his fingers parted the victim's lips, revealing the tongue inside, leaned over and smelled the deceased's lips, then took off the clothes on the corpse, carefully inspecting the surface of the body, Did not miss any place.

Xu Yihua is a famous expert in solving crimes in Yonglin City. Hearing that he will pass through Qiuxing County on this trip, Zhong Benli specially sent an invitation to invite him to stay here for a day. Unexpectedly, he arrived in less than four hours. His entourage died like this.His attitude towards the murder case was extraordinarily rigorous. At this time, he was completely immersed in some details, so that everyone dared not speak, and only hoped that this master could catch the murderer.

"There is no external injury on the body, and there is no obvious sign of poisoning. His head is..." Xu Yihua suddenly paused at this moment, turned around and sighed after a while, "This matter is usually recorded by Lone Pine, please trouble Mr. Zhong to find someone Registrar, record one or two for the students."

"Gu Qi, come and act as the master book." Zhong Benli thought for a while and waved to Gu Qi, "I remember that you are not only literate, but also good at calligraphy, so you will be the one to record this case."

Gu Qi's scalp was numb, he wanted to avoid everything because he didn't want to get involved with the case, he didn't expect to meet the case by such a coincidence, he really couldn't avoid it even if he should come here.Looking at Zhong Benli's encouraging gaze, Gu Qi could only bite the bullet and fetch a pen and paper: "Mr. Xu, tell me."

"Okay, I tell you to remember." Xu Yihua nodded, "When the body was found, it was on the bed. After a preliminary judgment, this is the first crime scene. The victim's head was cut off with a sharp weapon, the wound was smooth, and the muscles were slightly contracted and staggered. , the murder weapon is unknown, based on the degree of stiffness and blood loss of the corpse, it is speculated that Ye Gusong was killed at the third quarter of the unitary hour. There was no sign of struggle in the room, and the victim was decapitated in his sleep or in a coma."

"Quick, write it down." Zhong Ben urged Gu Qi repeatedly.

Gu Qi nodded and wrote down one by one.Seeing Xu Yihua straighten up and walking towards the wooden table, he also got up and followed behind him.

There was a whole set of tea sets on the table, only one teacup was used, and the other three teacups were turned upside down on the tea tray, but there was no more tea in the teapot, it must have been drunk by Ye Gusong. Can find something wrong.

In addition, the doors and windows in this room were locked at that time, and there was only a half-foot-long and three-inch-wide air hole on the wall, but this air hole was so small, let alone a human being, even a cat could not get out of this small air hole. If you get out of it, that means...

"This is a murder case in a secret room!" Xu Yihua stood with his hands behind his back, his brows were furrowed tightly, and the light-colored hairband on the back of his head hung down in front of him, and was pulled back behind him indifferently.

"Murder in the secret room?" Everyone said in unison, in amazement.

Yes, it was the secret room murder.Gu Qi put down the pen and paper in his hand, came to the bedside, and looked at the corpse again.

The victim's entire head was cut off, the window curtains were covered with blood splatters, and the blood-soaked bedding was seeping blood, which looked very tragic.The room was full of bloody smell, inhaling the nasal cavity was uncomfortable, Gu Qi half covered his mouth and nose and lowered his head to check.

As Xu Yihua checked just now, the wound is indeed flat, and it seems that this difficult technique was completed in just one stroke. Because it was cut before death, the muscles at the wound contracted and crossed in different situations, so Gu Qi paid attention to it. but the shoulders of the victim.There is a tooth mark on Ye Gusong's shoulder. The color of the tooth mark is relatively new, and it seems to be newly left in recent years. According to the number and size of the teeth on the tooth mark, it should be bitten by a woman, but the tooth seems to be missing. one.

"Based on the wound, I preliminarily guessed that the murder weapon should be a very thin sword." Xu Yihua thought.

"No, the murder weapon is not a sword." Gu Qi retorted unconsciously, touching a small gap above the air hole.

Xu Yihua turned around, only to realize that the person who spoke was Gu Qi, and he couldn't help walking quickly behind him: "Why isn't the murder weapon a sword?"

"The thinner the sword, the softer it is. Even if the internal force is poured into the sword, it is impossible to cut off the victim's head with one sword. Moreover, if someone cuts off the murderer's head with an extremely thin sword, then he And how do you lock all the doors and windows before leaving here, so..."

Gu Qi suddenly stopped talking, because everyone except the corpse on the bed was looking at him.

"You... watch me do... what I do..." Gu Qiqiang pretended to be calm, "I'm just...just talking..."

"What's the matter? What happened?" At this moment, three people hurried in from outside the door, attracting everyone's attention. Gu Qi looked over and found that it was the county magistrate's wife, her maid Xing'er, and another A policeman, Shi Bin, said, "We heard Tweety's cry and hurried over."

Tweety has fainted, but she has not recovered yet, and she is leaning on the chair at this time.Xu Yihua took out a thin-necked white porcelain bottle from his bosom, tore off the red cloth cork on it, and put the mouth of the bottle to Tweety'er's nose, Tweety soon woke up with a cough.

Xu Yihua walked back and forth for a few steps, then suddenly stopped, stood opposite the crowd, looking at everyone with sharp eyes: "You should have seen that Ye Gusong was killed, and the only one who knew that we came to Qiuxing County today is You guys, so now I would like to ask you to tell me what you are doing at the third quarter of the unitary hour?"

Gu Qi pretended to pick up the pen and paper again, preparing to be a competent master bookkeeper, but his gaze swept over everyone one by one calmly, and he saw that everyone was either afraid or angry, timid or suspicious, with expressions like Not one.

Tweety was still trembling with fear, it was probably the first time she saw such a bloody scene, she couldn't stand up tremblingly, her face was full of horror, when she heard Xu Yihua's words, she suddenly pointed at Zhao Ming and screamed: "It's him ! It was Zhao Ming! He killed Ye Xiashi!"
