Holy Bone

Chapter 7 Prison
Chang County.

jail.

There was a very complex stench in the air.

Sewage odor, fecal excrement odor, food stink...

All kinds of smells, mixed together, mixed into an indescribable stench in this damp and dark prison with stagnant air.

There's even a rancid smell.

I don't know if the rat who died in the prison rotted after his death.

Hula la.

The county magistrate Zhang, who had birds embroidered on his civilian robe, had an angry expression on his face. Under the leadership of the yamen and jailers, he hurried all the way to the deepest part of the prison where the death row prisoners were held, ignoring the stench in the prison.

"My lord, my lord, save us, save us, there's trouble in this cell!"

"There's something dirty in the prison! Help me!"

"Zhang County magistrate, please change the cell for me, I will recruit, I will recruit, I am willing to confess anything, just change my cell! Please change the prison for me, please!"

At both ends of the long corridor with torches, a pair of arms stretched out from behind the wooden fence. One by one, the unkempt prisoners, covered in foul smell, cried out to the magistrate Zhang.

As if there really was something in this prison.

Frightened all these prisoners.

"What's wrong with these people?"

"Master, since, since Li Dashan's death, the prisoners in the prison have been crying and shouting to change their cells."

The prisoner's face was flustered and pale, and he hurriedly explained, desperately wiping the cold sweat off his forehead.

Magistrate Zhang didn't have time to bother with these people now, so he glared at the prison head and continued to walk into the depths of the prison.

at last.

Led by the jailer, a group of 20 people came to the cell where Li Dashan was being held.

The prison door was opened by the jailer.

Li Dashan's death is very strange. Not long after the talent died, he actually had black spots and corpse spots all over his body, and there was a large pool of water stains under his body, but his clothes were dry, and he was curled up and died in pain at the door of the cell.

Li Dashan held his head high, like a soft-shelled turtle that came out of the water to breathe on a rainy day.

The facial features on his face were distorted and hideous, as if he had experienced a lot of pain before his death, and had struggled for help before he died, but none of those jailers heard the movement here.

The magistrate Zhang, the county magistrate, several police chiefs and yamen officers were all shocked when they saw people die in such a strange way for the first time.

Looking at Li Dashan's strange way of dying, it is like the absurd feeling of the old turtle Mochizuki.

The head of the prison, called Sun Fu, had a pair of rat whiskers on his lips.

He is an old fritter in this prison. He scavenges oil and water from prisoners in the cell on weekdays. This is a fat man with a lot of oil and water.On weekdays, this Sun Fu was the emperor of the earth in the prison. He was used to doing things in a powerful way, and no one dared to disobey his words.

But he was in front of Magistrate Zhang now, his face was pale and ugly, he didn't even dare to let go of a fart, and all of them quietly turned back to their stomachs and left.Now, he is not worried about whether he can keep this fat man, but whether he will bear all the responsibility for Li Dashan's death, and whether he will survive.

The head of the cell, Sun Fu, watched Magistrate Zhang with sweat on his forehead. Seeing Magistrate Zhang's face sank after seeing Li Dashan's strange death, he hurriedly tried his best to perform in front of Magistrate Zhang, hoping to escape this disaster.

Guarantee to sweep ancestral graves on New Years and festivals in the future, and no longer stay at widows' houses overnight, so as to leave a share of yin and virtue for yourself.

"Your Majesty, several of our brothers know that Li Dashan is important and involves a major case of private gunpowder storage, so we have never dared to slack off and refuse anyone to visit Li Dashan."

"Lao Qian and Lao Xu never dared to lynch Li Dashan."

"We all understand the priorities of this, so we have been closely guarding Li Dashan."

"Bai, during the day... This Li Dashan is fine. Tonight's prison meal was given by old money. I can testify to this point. At that time, Li Dashan was all normal, and he could eat, drink, sleep, and salsa."

"And during the two days in prison, no one was allowed to come in to visit Li Dashan. For the past two days, Li Dashan has been detained alone. Except for our few prisoners, he has never had contact with an outsider."

"Yes, but the blame is here..."

"When we delivered meals to the prison in You(yǒu), people were fine, and there was nothing unusual... There was only half an hour in between. In Xu(xū), Lao Qian followed the usual practice and inspected the cells at regular intervals, and then we I heard Lao Qian's screams... When Lao Xu and I ran to the door of Li Dashan's prison, we saw Lao Qian sitting on the ground in fright, and Li Dashan had died mysteriously in the cell."

"The door of Li Dashan's prison is locked, and there are no other signs of damage in the cell. No one can enter the cell, but it is strange here. Here... Li Dashan died in it so strangely."

The prison head nervously talked about the ins and outs.

"Master Zhang, could it be food poisoning?"

"There is a lot of involvement behind Li Dashan. Maybe there are other comrades who slipped through the net. They are afraid that Li Dashan will confess to them... So they killed him?"

The speaker is the county magistrate.

When the prison head heard it, he hurriedly explained to himself and the others: "It is impossible for the food to be poisoned in advance. The prisoners in this prison all eat the same pot of food."

"If it is true that someone poisoned the food, Li Dashan should not be the only one killed, but all the prisoners in the prison died together. It is impossible for these prisoners to survive."

"Moreover, the prison meals are sent to each prison at random, and it is impossible for anyone to know in advance which bowl of rice is for Li Dashan, and then target them with poison."

After listening to the words of the head of the cell, Sun Fu, these jailers are indeed doing their due diligence.

Magistrate Zhang's face was very ugly. He turned to look at a middle-aged arrester with a saber beside him.

"Feng Zhaotou, what clues did you find in this prison?"

Feng Zhaotou: "Reporting to the magistrate, I have brought Zu Zuo. How did this person die, and whether he was poisoned by someone's food, and he died. After Zu's autopsy, I believe everything will be revealed. I implore the magistrate. Agree to let him do an autopsy."

Everyone was standing outside the cell.

Without the personal consent of the magistrate Zhang, no one dared to enter the cell without permission.

"Then let's do an autopsy! No matter what, this matter must be in time for Shangtoufu City to come to pick up people, and find out the truth, so that I can have an account to the above!"

As the magistrate Zhang agreed to the autopsy, among the group of people crowded in the corridor outside the cell, a hunch-thin old man with a medicine box on his back became the first person to step into the cell.

The ancients did not have the concept of gloves.

Maybe it was because of years of contact with the corpse and infection of various bacteria on the corpse. There were a lot of scars and sores on his hands. This is the infection and the infection is good. .

The air in the prison is stagnant, foul and foul, so many people are crowded together, and it is difficult for everyone to breathe.

But no one dared to complain at this time.

Even if my legs and feet are numb after standing for a long time, I only dare to lift my butt quietly and continue to grit my teeth.

After such an excruciating wait, the autopsy finally came to fruition.

"The county magistrate, Feng Zhaotou, Li Dashan's cause of death was not poisoning, but drowning in water. What's strange is that although corpse spots have appeared on the skin, the internal organs seem to have died for less than an hour. "

"Die by drowning?" Everyone was dumbfounded.

"absurd!"
