Chapter 512 Small Meeting

Xue Gui was originally writing a statement of the case, which was to be read by the heads of the criminal department. It was a follow-up report, mainly talking about the first-hand discovery after arriving at the scene, and the direction of the subsequent investigation.

Among them, the cause of Qin Xiuyuan's death was the first thing to be clarified at the scene of the crime.

First of all, at a glance, it is clear that Qin Xiuyuan did not die naturally but was killed by someone. The cause of death was roughly suffocation, but what about the cause of suffocation? Xue Gui's suspicion is: swallowing some kind of medicine, or some kind of spell.

In terms of details, Xue Gui's idea is to wait for the assistant to carefully examine the corpse before making further deliberations. Unexpectedly, the people from Xuan Qingwei seemed to have found some clues from other places first.

Xue Gui could tell from Li Qing's words that the famous Master Shen in Xuanqing Guard really had some skills. It was rumored before that this Mr. Shen was born in a humble family, and he relied on his real ability to get a position, but now it seems that it should be true.

Just looking at the appearance of the corpse should be able to rule out most of the possibility of "death by asphyxiation". It is difficult to leave traces in terms of spells, and it is too difficult to quietly kill a person who is obviously under surveillance in Shouwang's mansion. Then the rest may be "swallowing" something that kills.

what is it

Xue Gui didn't think about it carefully before. Now according to Li Qing's retelling, that Master Shen from Xuan Qingwei suspects that it is "Xiang Tang".

There is no peculiar smell in the latrine, and it is associated with little or no excretion, and it is associated with less food intake. Then the possibility of death from receiving food from Shouwang Mansion can be ruled out. Isn't the rest just the food that Qin Xiuyuan brought himself?

Unlike Li Qing, Xue Gui knew about Xiangtang. He is not surprised that people like Qin Xiuyuan have the habit of eating sweets. The surprise was the empty bottle that was turned out of Qin Xiuyuan's storage bag. The scent left in it was the same as the faint fragrance contained in the blood clot in Qin Xiuyuan's corpse, which meant that the empty bottle was filled with gum before, but it was eaten up.

That's just a coincidence. Died just after eating the last one in a bottle?

Xue Gui also often dislikes the word "coincidence", especially in cases, as long as the word "coincidence" appears in his mind, it means that there may be problems.

"You go back and stare at Wu Zuo, and bring back the conclusion of Wu Zuo as soon as possible. After that, the body should be transported back to the Yamen Shantang for storage, and no one else is allowed to flip it without my warrant."

Li Qing should leave. She still has doubts in her heart, she still doesn't believe that the man surnamed Shen has any real abilities, maybe Master Xue just thinks too much?

In the resident barracks of the Fushi Yamen in Jingxi Township, Shen Hao, Wang Yiming and other people who were transferred to "assist in the investigation" sat around together.

This kind of sitting in a small meeting is not seen in other places, it is a unique atmosphere in the Black Flag Camp in Fengri City, especially in the first-line Black Flag Camp, and it is basically like this every time the case is discussed.

"Talk about your own discoveries." Shen Hao personally poured tea for several subordinates, and Wang Yiming was responsible for passing it on.

Shen Hao sat back in his seat after pouring the tea. This time, including him and Wang Yiming, there were seven people in total. He was not the only one who was busy at the crime scene before, and the rest of the people were not idle either.

"My lord. The house is surrounded by water on three sides, with a road, and on the other side of the pool is the sentry post of the inner guard. It is basically impossible to get into the house and kill people. Unless you have a very high level of cultivation."

"It can't be someone with a high level of cultivation. As far as Qin Xiuyuan's death is concerned, it is absolutely impossible for a master to leave so many clues in vain for him to struggle."

"Also, I went to the night market on the street for a while. There are sweets sold in the market in the north of the imperial city. There is no such thing in other markets. The magnolia scented one is very popular, and many people like it. No, it's impossible to find something in a short time. But Qin Xiuyuan's purple jade bottle is still very famous there."

Hearing this, Shen Hao pointed to the person who spoke just now, and asked him to elaborate on the purple jade bottle.

"My lord, just like the gum, the bottle containing the gum is also very popular in the circle of high-ranking figures in the imperial city. Like a jade pendant, there is a lot of care in taking out the gum bottle. When I went to ask, I talked to a shopkeeper. After a while, he told me that purple jade is the best in the sugar bottle, and there are many subdivided categories. There are also some carvings of masters in it, which are difficult to buy with money.

I asked him to give an example, but the man bragged that he sold a top-quality purple jade bottle last month, which was for the third master of the Qin family, and described it as the same as Qin Xiuyuan's. "

Shen Hao: "That is to say, Qin Xiuyuan likes to eat sweets, and many people know about the fact that he has a bottle of purple jade sweets?"

"Yes my lord."

"My lord, based on the traces of the corpses you just mentioned, I think someone calculated the time in advance, poured out all the gum in Qin Xiuyuan's sugar bottle, and put a pill with special ingredients in it. Qin Xiuyuan is not The monk also lacks the ability to identify poisons, and when he first arrived at Shouwang's mansion, he was frightened, so he didn't look carefully when he was in a panic, and he swallowed the pills in the bottle and died."

"Yes, my subordinates seconded the proposal! At least for now, it seems that Qin Xiuyuan should have been killed like this."

All those present here are masters in solving crimes in the Black Flag Camp, plus the details brought up by Shen Hao, as well as the visits to Shouwang Mansion and several places in the imperial city tonight, these people deduced the conclusion in a few words.

Coincidentally, it coincided with what Shen Hao was thinking.

Shen Hao raised his hand and pressed it, and the discussion quickly stopped. I heard him say: "I know that Qin Xiuyuan has the habit of eating sweets, and he can also get the sweets bottle that Qin Xiuyuan regards as a treasure and carries it with him, and he has a chance to drop the bag. There is also a motive for killing people. Who do you think this person will be?" ?”

"Hey, I can't think of this, anyway, it won't be the King of Shou."

"Nonsense, King Shou doesn't show up now, for fear of being stained with shit. There is no need to kill Qin Xiuyuan."

"Could it be the Qin family themselves? Their people are now "abandoned sons". Wouldn't it be bad if they were caught and leaked out of their mouths? So they clean up the house by themselves?"

"It doesn't make sense. Why didn't you do it earlier if you cleaned up the house yourself? Why did you wait until Qin Xiuyuan arrived at Shouwang's mansion?"

"Isn't it okay to deliberately confuse the public? Using Qin Xiuyuan's regular time of eating gum, it's not difficult to calculate the timeline of his death, right?"

Shen Hao didn't interject when discussing the case later. There is a difference in the amount of information between him and his subordinates. Many of the deep things in the "Qin Xiuyuan case" are not known to others, so the discussion of the case has not touched the root cause. However, the previous analysis has given Shen Hao a lot of inspiration.

For example, the one who most wanted Qin Xiuyuan to die was indeed none other than the Qin family behind Qin Xiuyuan. Because Qin Xiuyuan had negligently missed those bastards who spread the news and did not deal with them, he caused the Qin family a lot of trouble. Even once Qin Xiuyuan confesses, the entire civil servant group will be implicated except for the Qin family.

In addition, logically speaking, the most likely person who can gain Qin Xiuyuan's trust and be close to him is his family.
