Mystery Makes Me Strong

When Liu Tuiguan saw the approval document from the Minister of Justice, he was immediately overwhelmed.

The other party did not agree, so the prisoner had to be convinced to agree.

He had to take Liu Gen out of the prison again.

Liu Gen's face looked good at this time.

At least much better than a few days ago.

It seemed that he had heard something in the prison.

"Liu Gen, you said you didn't kill anyone, so do you know who might have killed him?"

Liu Gen hurriedly said, "Reporting to the master, I don't know either."

"You don't know either?"

"The deceased lives in your house, how could you not know?"

"I often don't go home at night, so I really don't know what happened to the deceased at night." Liu Gen then said.

"Then your father didn't find anything?" Liu Tuiguan asked again.

"My father is old and hard of hearing. He snores when he falls asleep and doesn't know anything at all."

"Then tell me the situation in detail again."

Hearing this, Liu Gen told the scene again in detail.

"This guest stayed in my house for three days."

"He said he would leave the city on the morning of the third day and asked me to call him."

"When I went to call him, I found that the guest was dead and his body was cold."

"What time was it?" Liu Tuiguan asked.

"It was probably Chenshi (Chenshi is from 7 to 9 o'clock)." Liu Gen thought about it and said.

"I wanted to call someone, but I was afraid of being blackmailed and wronged."

"So I didn't dare to report to the police."

"Humph, you also saw the silver and documents on the guest, right?" Liu Tuiguan said coldly.

"Yes, yes, I was greedy, but I definitely didn't kill anyone! If I had killed someone, let me..." Liu Gen was about to swear.

"Okay, don't swear." Liu Tuiguan shook his head and said, "If you are honest, no one will blackmail you."

"I know, this is all my fault." After hearing this, Liu Gen also regretted it very much.

If it weren't for his greed, things wouldn't have come to this point.

Because even if he secretly buried someone, as long as he didn't touch the silver and documents, there would be no motive for murder.

Then with Liu Tuiguan's ability, he could immediately feel that the murderer was someone else.

Liu Tuiguan began to ponder.

At this time, Liu Gen saw the hope of survival and looked at the other party nervously.

Of course, he didn't dare to look directly at the Tuiguan.

"In this case, we must return to the most original case-solving process." Liu Tuiguan thought for a while and sighed helplessly.

He thought he could get lucky again and catch the murderer directly.

The result was good, but it still didn't work.

In fact, Wen Rensheng knew that even the smallest case in this world has a routine.

It won't be like the real world, where the murderer kills, escapes, and is caught three days later.

There is no such smooth case.

In the real world, most cases are like this.

Many murderers are stupid and stupid.

Even if their own quality is very high, it doesn't prevent them from being stupid in committing crimes.

For example, there was a female executive who strangled her husband to death in order to prevent the baby from affecting her promotion. When she was dealing with the aftermath, she was discovered by others.

Her cruelty and stupidity are so obvious that no one would believe her in a novel.

However, this is a real story that happened in reality.

Then Liu Tuiguan went to check the information of the deceased and then looked for the deceased's social network.

According to the documents, the deceased's surname was Wu.

He came from the capital, which is more than 2,000 miles away from this county.

The document said that this person was going to a fort on the border to be a captain and a small leader of 30 people.

After a preliminary check, based on the information given on the surface, Liu Tuiguan believed that this person was unlikely to have any big enemies.

He was a stranger in this county, and few people in this county would kill him.

So Liu Gen was the most suspicious.

If the murderer was from outside, then he was most likely from the capital.

But would people from the capital come so far to kill him?

Why not do it in the capital?

This is how to handle cases step by step. It is very difficult and cumbersome.

Every detail must be taken into consideration.

Many unsolved cases are formed in this way.

If the murderer and key evidence cannot be locked at the beginning, it will be difficult in the future.

The longer the time, the more scattered the energy, the less time, and the faster the traces disappear.

Even the murderer will escape, die of old age, or die accidentally.

There are too many things.

Liu Tuiguan can only send people to visit the capital based on the information of the deceased.

The money for the business trip must also be reported by the local county magistrate.

This is the difficulty of the Tuiguan. Everything has to be done by the local people.

Why can't the Tuiguan directly control the money and people?

This is obviously a kind of checks and balances.

Originally, the Tuiguan can judge the life and death of people. If he controls the money and people, can he make any case he wants?

So the Tuiguan in this world only has some subordinates who assist the clerks.

Other forces are under the control of others, and they need to be coordinated and exchanged.

There are many constraints in doing things.

Fortunately, this time, because the case happened in this county, the county magistrate also cooperated very well.

Moreover, the dead person was from the capital.

If the other party had any background, he would not have to be promoted in the future.

It is good to be transferred horizontally until old age.

Two constables rode fast horses all the way to the capital, and it took them 7 days to arrive.

Wen Rensheng followed as one of the constables.

Of course, he was traveling, and the other constable was really unlucky.

In ancient times, such long-distance travel could easily lead to death.

So whether it was soldiers, civilians, or even managers, they were very afraid of long-distance migration.

After arriving in the capital, the two had a simple handover with the local government office, mainly to prevent being treated as idlers and spies and being dealt with by their own people.

The government office in the capital naturally ignored them and just gave them a pass.

They had to take care of their own food and accommodation.

Then they went to the family address left by the deceased, spent three coins to hire a local guide, and searched all the way.

Finally found a large courtyard.

Then they asked if there was anyone with the surname Wu living here.

When someone saw them, they were shocked and hurried to a room inside.

At this time, the people in the yard gathered around.

"Why are you looking for the surname Wu?" someone asked angrily.

Wen Rensheng immediately knew that there was something wrong.

Another constable was straightforward and asked directly: "Wu Dafa died in our Qingshui County. Now the masters want to find out who killed him."

"His body is in our county. Who among you is his family or friend? Send someone to check it out."

"Well, Old Wu has no family, and there are no friends here." The man said unhappily, "You should leave quickly."

"Old Wu has no family. Why would he write this place if he has no family?" The constable said depressedly.

"Well, we are all outsiders, and we came to Beijing to find work."

"This is the big courtyard we rented collectively." The man said perfunctorily.

But Wen Rensheng noticed that there were young and strong men in their twenties and thirties in the courtyard, and there was no old, weak, sick or disabled person.

He immediately knew what was going on.

But the constable didn't feel anything, just urged:

"In this case, do you have any fellow villagers or friends who are familiar with him, go and collect his body?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Is this constable a fool?

Ordinary people would not have time to hide if they encountered this.

If they were not of a different identity, they would have huddled in the house and pretended not to know.

Just as everyone was silent, a strong man who looked like a leader finally came out from the innermost part of the compound.

"Old Wu is dead. When did he die and how did he die?"

Seeing the strong man come out, everyone seemed to have found the backbone, and they all retreated behind the strong man.

"He has been dead for more than 10 days. He was killed. We just found a murderer, but the murderer refused to admit it, so we came here to check him." The constable had no sense of confidentiality and told everything in one go.

Then the constable asked again: "Do you know who else he knows and who he has offended?"

"Who did he offend?" The strong man thought for a while, and then said to the two:

"Old Wu is an old butcher, it is impossible for him to offend anyone."

"Forget it, I'll go with you to see, at least to collect his body."

"Ah, that's good." The constable said impatiently.

So the visit to Old Wu's hometown ended here.

The constable couldn't wait to take the strong man, and without asking Wen Rensheng's opinion, he went straight back to the county town.

It took them another seven days to get to the county.

This speed is actually very fast.

This is thanks to the support of the post station, and the prosperity of this world, there is no shortage of food.

Otherwise, there would be no such good road conditions.

After arriving in the county, the strong man was called by Liu Tuiguan before he had a rest.

When Liu Tuiguan met him, he just exchanged a few words and asked directly: "Brother, who are you to Old Wu?"

"I dare not let the master call me that. I am a friend of Brother Wu."

"We were originally a group of refugees from all over the country. We gathered together and lived in the capital."

"Later, we found a job and registered our household registration in the capital. We cooked together, rented a house together, fought together, and looked after each other." The strong man spoke clearly.

After seeing this, Liu Tuiguan shook his head immediately.

"I am afraid that the relationship between you is not just superficial brothers and friends?"

It is natural that Liu Tuiguan would doubt this.

Not to mention ancient times, even ordinary people in modern times would not stick to such cases with deaths unless they are relatives and friends.

Not to mention traveling thousands of miles to collect the bodies.

Not to mention other things, how much money would the travel expenses cost?

The pressure in dealing with this matter is very high.

You also have to deal with the extortion and flattery of the yamen runners.

Fortunately, the yamen runners in this world are more restrained.

After all, cases do not distinguish between people.

Of course, there are also yamen runners who don't care and extort money as usual.

After all, death is death, but money cannot be lost for a day.

"You should honestly admit what the relationship between you is." Liu Tuiguan shook his head.

"Well, in fact, he is my sworn brother. We take care of each other, so we can live a difficult life in the capital."

"We have a total of ten brothers, all sworn brothers."

"I see, it seems that you are their leader, so you will come all the way to help him restrain himself." Liu Tuiguan nodded.

"Yes, that's it." The strong man bowed.

"Well, think about it, do you have any enemies as your sworn brother?" Liu Tuiguan asked again.

"There should be no fixed enemies. Maybe he offended some people in order to win the favor of this border official."

"Please find the murderer." The strong man pleaded.

"I will do this, but you have to cooperate with the murderer."

"I will cooperate with you."

Liu Tuiguan nodded and said to him, "Okay, then you can go with me to see your brother's body."

"Yes, sir."

"But you need to be prepared when you go to see the body. The body has been buried for many days and has been highly decomposed." Liu Tuiguan reminded.

"Thank you for your reminder, sir. I have a deep relationship with Brother Wu and I must find the murderer!"

Then the strong man followed Liu Tuiguan to the morgue where the coroner was.

A white cloth was covering the dead Wu.

The stench was overwhelming.

Flies were flying and maggots were crawling everywhere.

Anyway, Wen Rensheng would not go in to see that scene.

After all, he came here to travel, not to seek punishment.

"Damn it, if I had seen it earlier, maybe I would have known who killed my brother." Seeing the corpse so rotten, the strong man couldn't help but blurt out.

But when Liu Tuiguan heard this, he was slightly stunned.

He had heard that this person was not an ordinary farmhand.

In fact, just from the other party's body, he knew that this person was definitely not a hard-working person.

But a hard-trained warrior.

The other party was strong and powerful.

And he was not afraid of the government.

This person definitely has a background and is definitely not an ordinary person.

Then, the coroner was called.

"Have you figured out the cause of this person's death?" Liu Tuiguan asked.

"Master, please look, the cause of this person's death is all a knife in the throat." The coroner carefully felt the body, and he took out two pairs of cowhide gloves and put them on.

Feel the throat and show it to the two people.

Sure enough, the traces of knife wounds can still be seen in the rotten throat.

Half of the neck was almost cut off.

However, the strong man frowned and did not speak.

"Is this the cause of death?" he asked in confusion.

"The situation at that time was that Liu Gen's father had not heard any murder sounds, which is why Liu Gen is the biggest suspect." Liu Tuiguan said.

Wen Rensheng knew that the strong man's suspicion was right.

Many people think that cutting the throat can kill people immediately. In TV dramas, people often fall down immediately after their throats are cut, without any movement.

In fact, this is wrong.

After cutting the throat, people still have at least more than ten seconds of tossing.

Even the carotid artery has at least a few seconds of tossing.

And the strong man is obviously experienced and knows this.

There is only one way to die immediately without stagnation.

That is to directly destroy the back of the brain.

People will die instantly.

Directly destroying the brain stem will stop the physiological activities of the person, and it is impossible for the brain to give orders.

The whole person will not be able to make any sound or make any noise.

This is also why the strong man is suspicious.

So the strong man shook his head and said, "No, the fatal wound is not in the front, but in the back."

The strong man couldn't help but take a pair of cowhide gloves, and then turned the rotten head over.

At the back of the head, there was a knife mark on the bones in a pile of rotten things.

The mark was very shallow.

It should have been rubbed against the back of the skull.

The knife was fatal, very cruel.
