    "What happened? Go and have a look." Not long after the family moved into Zouma Lane, Hongdou took Nongying and started playing around.

    On this day, when she walked to the Confucius Temple, she saw a group of people pointing around a big tree.  Immediately afterwards, I saw a group of government servants running towards the big tree.

    Hongdou pulled Nongying and ran over.

    "Sister, what happened inside?" Hong Dou asked an aunt who straddled a vegetable basket.

    Auntie turned her head and saw a pair of big wet eyes looking at her expectantly on a face as red as suet and white jade.  A little red mole between the eyebrows makes the whole person more energetic.

    It was the first time that a little girl called her sister, and the aunt couldn't suppress her desire to gossip, so she pouted at the big tree: "Peony in Wanhualou hanged herself last night."

    An elder sister who was watching next to her heard what the aunt said, and also interjected: "I heard that this peony has a good friend, who is a street seller. Do you think it's the seller who doesn't want her, and commits suicide if he can't think about it?"  gone."

    "How many men are interested in the people who are here to sell?" The aunt rolled her eyes. In her opinion, it would be better for these women to die.

    The eldest sister looked at the place surrounded by the crowd, and said in a low voice: "Stop talking, everyone is gone."

    The aunt followed her gaze and looked back, and said with a look of bad luck: "Today is really unlucky, I have to go shopping."

    After speaking, he walked away as if flying.

    "Miss, let's go back first." Nongying is not because someone died here, but because the person who died was a prostitute, and he was afraid of affecting the reputation of the lady.  Pulling Hongdou to persuade her to go home.

    Hongdou didn't care about this, and stood here refusing to move: "Look again, look again."

    The yamen servants stepped forward to remove Mudan's body, and the onlookers retreated one after another, as if they were afraid of being polluted.  It just gave Hongdou a good place to watch.

    "This man is real. Why did he come to such a place to seek death? I'm not afraid of offending my master." The yamen servant standing guard in front of the red beans and his colleagues complained softly.  The government has to deal with people who die here. If they die in Wanhualou, then they have nothing to do.  Just bury it.

    The two yamen servants who moved the corpse had already put Mudan down, and were about to untie the hanging rope.  Seeing this, Hongdou hurried up to stop it: "Wait, it can't be solved like this."

    Just as Zhang Long was about to untie the rope and move him back to the county government office, he heard a crisp voice stop him.  He turned his head and saw a little girl crowded in front of the crowd, not afraid of the corpse lying on the ground, walked up to him and said to him: "If the deceased was killed by someone else, then this rope was tied by the murderer. You tie the rope  When you untie it, you lose some clues because different people tie the knot differently, and there may be other evidence in the knot."

    At first, Zhang Long thought that the little girl was messing around, but now he heard her explanation, and he also found it very reasonable: "The knot can't be untied, so how can I take it back?"

    "Can't you just find a place to cut it from below?" Hongdou pointed at the place where the rope hangs down.

    Zhang Long was suddenly embarrassed. He only wanted to untie the rope, but he forgot that he could still cut it.  Admiringly said: "This girl is young, she really knows a lot, I don't know how the girl knows this."

    Hong Dou thought to herself that I could never tell you, I knew about the modern method of criminal investigation and evidence collection only after I read the book of forensic doctor Qin Ming.  He could only say vaguely, "I saw it in a book."

    Zhang Long was even more embarrassed when he heard this. They are government servants, and they don't know a lot of Chinese characters.  Even if I asked what book it was, I couldn't understand it myself.

    Hong Dou didn't care about his mood, and turned to observe Mudan's body.  The corpse's face was pale, and there was a deep ditch in the neck, and the black-purple tongue stuck out slightly.  From these perspectives alone, it still fits the characteristics of mechanical suffocation caused by suicide.

    "Miss, let's go." Nongying watched Hong Dou looking around the corpse, and hurriedly pulled Hong Dou to leave.

    Hongdou still wanted to stay and watch, so Nongying whispered to her: "Miss, there are too many people, it's not good for you to be seen like this. If the second master finds out, he will definitely accuse you."

    Hongdou felt that Song Ziwen might not say anything about her, but Ren Pingping would definitely reprimand her.  He had no choice but to follow Nongying back.

    A few days later, Hongdou was drinking tea with Song Ziwen in the yard, when Nongying hurried in: "Miss, miss, something serious happened."

    "Keep your voice down, my brother is still reading." Hong Dou stepped forward to cover Nongying's mouth,Seeing Nongying's eyes wide open and nodding persistently, he let her go.

    "What happened?" Song Ziwen asked while holding a teacup, looking at Nong Mo who was following Nong Ying.

    "Second Master, it's like this. A few days ago, a woman was hanged from a tree in front of the Confucius Temple. I heard that it was a girl from Wanhualou on the other side of the river." Nong Mo slowly stated what he had just learned outside.  Come out, "Originally, this is not a big deal, but we have a new young prefect in the state capital. This is the first life lawsuit since the prefect took office, so we are sending people to investigate."

    "What does that have to do with us?" Song Ziwen didn't think there was any problem with the so-called new official taking office. He just wondered why Nongying was so nervous.

    Hongdou was afraid that Ren Pingping would scold her, so she hesitated again and again, but chose to confess: "Father, because I happened to be out playing that day and encountered this incident, Nongying may be worried that people will come to us to understand the situation."

    "You, you just came here not long ago, and you got into trouble. See if your mother knows about you." Song Ziwen is already immune to his daughter's physique of getting into trouble when she goes out, but she can't stand her nagging.

    "I still said she can't?" Ren Pingping was attracted by Nongying's voice long ago, and couldn't help being angry at this moment, "Every girl knows to stay at home to embroider and cook. She just runs out every day,  It¡¯s fine to go out, and you can get into trouble every time.¡±

    Just because of Hongdou's troublesome physique, it also brought some difficulties for her to say goodbye.  Song Ziwen is also not good at speaking for his daughter, so he can only touch his nose and listen to his daughter-in-law.

    Hongdou originally thought that this matter had little impact on her family, at most it was enough to answer truthfully when people came to ask.

    Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before I received a letter from Song Zixiao.  Song Zixiao said in the letter that the prefect of Chuzhou may have asked the counties to send officials to participate in the autopsy to jointly investigate the case in order to examine the ability of the counties to handle affairs.  Because the Wu Zuo in Yongning County is too old, it is inconvenient to travel and travel.  Therefore, Song Ziwen was asked to temporarily take up the post of Yongning County Wu to assist the magistrate in handling the case.

    Although autopsy and medical treatment are two different things, they have something in common anyway.  Song Ziwen is sensitive and studious, understands by analogy, knows a lot about autopsies, and assisted Wu Zuo to do autopsies several times when he was in Yongning County, accumulating some experience.  It can be regarded as half a job, and now I can only accept the order when I am in danger.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
