Start with detective Li Yuanfang

Chapter 285 Second brother, it will be your turn to apologize next...

"You are all outside, don't come in!"

After Li Yan gave the order to ensure the integrity of the scene, he walked over to examine the corpse carefully.

It is said that the first case I came into contact with in this world was the suicide of polo team leader Fu Ge, who hanged himself.

It's just that at that time, he didn't see the corpse with his own eyes, and analyzed the whole case based on his judgment.

But this time, the true face of the hanged corpse appeared, with a distorted face and a foul-smelling body.

It really stinks.

In fact, as long as a person dies, most of them will be accompanied by severe incontinence, and the hanging posture undoubtedly makes it easier for the waste to be discharged.

Therefore, in many ancient notes, the hanged ghost is also classified as the fierce ghost among the ghosts. After all, the ancients did not understand medicine and thought that the corpse was intact, but the death was so tragic, which was caused by resentment and sorrow.

For example, in "Yuewei Thatched Cottage Notes", there is also a very vivid description of the pain of hanging death: "The unfinished item, the pulse is reversed, the skin is tearing every inch, the pain is like cutting, the chest, diaphragm, and stomach The burning flames are unbearable, if it lasts for about ten moments, the body and spirit will be separated!"

This is a terrible description, and because of this, the ghosts that hang the dead often...

Li Yan immediately shook his head, and decided to concentrate on the case, avenging the wronged deceased, and not thinking about what was wrong.

Gong Taoguang is indeed the murderer who poisoned Zheng Hui, but it doesn't mean he should be killed, especially in this sensitive period, the possibility of murder is extremely high.

Of course, suicide in fear of crime cannot be completely ruled out, but the expression of the corpse is suspicious.

The pain in the expression is mostly, but there is obviously an unacceptable astonishment.

This is not what a suicidal person should look like.

Li Yan held his breath, touched the corpse's throat, went up to the beam to check the traces of rope friction, and made a judgment:
"He died extremely quickly, and the struggling process was shorter than the normal hanging suicide, but except for the flaws in his expression, all other traces looked like he was hanged."

"Being able to pretend to this extent shows that the murderer is extremely professional..."

"As for why we have to speed up, is it because we arrived in time and started in a hurry after hearing the movement in the front yard?"

Thinking of this, Li Yan shouted: "Bring the servants in the courtyard and ask when Gong Taoguang came back?"

Gong Siguang quickly replied: "Two quarters of an hour ago."

Li Yan stopped pacing, and directly analyzed on the beam: "According to the time calculation, there is a high probability that Gong Taoguang went to another place before returning home."

"He didn't go to Zheng's mansion because he was guilty of being a thief. After all, he wanted to poison Zheng Hui before, so he really didn't dare to face Zheng Rentong, an assassin, but he hurried elsewhere before returning home..."

"It seems that Gong Taoguang is probably the implementer of the plan to kill Zheng Hui with poison, and there is a planner behind the scenes. He went to meet the planner, and that made him have the evil intention to silence him."

"With such a stunned expression, did you not expect that person to kill you?"

Thinking of this, Li Yanfei went down to the beam, searched around the waist of the corpse, and took out the letter that was given to Gong Taoguang before.

"I didn't even have time to take out the letter, which means that the murderer followed Gong Taoguang back, and even did it right after he returned to the room. He was really in a hurry."

"Gong Tao's bright side hasn't been exposed yet, and it's still speculation at the moment. Except for the poison powder found in the drug package, there is no evidence. This will silence the story, which shows that the planner is cautious and vicious, and he is unwilling to commit suicide by himself." A little exposed."

Li Yan's side is already fast enough.

First go to the Zheng Mansion to persuade Zheng Rentong, then dispatch troops, and let Gong Siguang break in all the way, saving a lot of time.

In this way, he was still one step ahead, so it can only be said that the other party was ruthless and decisive.

After the basic inspection was completed, Li Yan left the scene, came to the hospital, and resumed normal breathing.

He said to Zheng Rentong and Gong Siguang who were coming over: "The Luoyang County Government can send a coroner to conduct an autopsy and record the case. We came a step too late, and Gong Taoguang has already been silenced."

Zheng Rentong's expression was cold and serious, and his anger could not be suppressed at all: "You are so courageous, in the eyes of these thieves, is there any law at all? This matter has nothing to do with Gong Siming, let's go to another Gong mansion!"

Gong Siguang was terrified, but also full of trepidation: "My second brother won't do such a thing!"

But Li Yan immediately said: "Zheng Shi, you hurry up and send someone to bring Zheng Langjun and Zheng Xiaoniang back, lest thieves jump over the wall in a hurry and hurt them."

Zheng Rentong's heart warmed, which meant that Li Yan really cared about the life and death of his children. He stroked his beard and said, "The old man has sent someone there just now."

"That's good."

Li Yan nodded. He managed to save a victim. He really didn't want the victim to disappear again. After thinking for a while, he said, "Inspector Zheng, I still don't want the conflict to be completely intensified. If we can't find evidence, even if we go to Gongfu, You can't be convicted of anything..."

Zheng Ren said: "I also understand Li Jiyi's concerns, but the thieves are so rampant, killing people right under our noses, how easy is it to get evidence? If this goes on like this, they will only follow behind them exhaustingly. Take down the thief leader first, and then talk about other things!"

Li Yan looked at the pale-faced Gong Siguang: "Gong Wulang, is it your second brother who is in charge of your Gong clan?"

Gong Siguang hurriedly said: "My father is ill and recuperating in Bianzhou. The matters in Luoyang are all decided by my second brother. Li Jiyi, he restrains us and the rest of the clan on weekdays and warns us not to cause trouble , would never do such a thing.”

Regarding this kind of family filter, Li Yan was noncommittal, and then asked: "Is your second brother in charge of such a huge family business?"

Gong Siguang said: "The third brother also assists the second brother in doing things."

Li Yan asked: "Is it your second brother who restrains the side branches and prevents them from doing anything wrong, or is your third brother in charge?"

Gong Siguang said: "It's my third brother."

Li Yan raised his brows: "I have heard from the inner guards that Brother Ling is quite skilled in the art of torture, is there such a thing?"

Gong Siguang wondered: "My third brother really likes to play with those things. He once wanted to divide Facao into custody, but he managed Hucao because he didn't understand the techniques of torture to solve cases. Didn't expect this to spread to Chang'an?"

In history, the two brothers Gong Siming and Gong Siye made a special kind of yoke, which is the kind of wooden yoke that restrains prisoners. They designed it to be huge and strong, which made the prisoners very afraid. Later, when they committed crimes and went to prison, they themselves Putting on this kind of shackles and parading through the streets, the people clapped their hands and cheered.

Zhou Xing called this plot an expert after hearing it, but it came from unofficial history, and its credibility is doubtful. Now it has been confirmed, but it was not designed by two brothers together, it was a hobby of one person.

Li Yan's eyes flickered slightly: "Gong Wulang, I am willing to believe in you, and I am willing to give Gong Shi a chance."

Gong Siguang was overjoyed: "Thank you Li Jiyi! Thank you Li Jiyi!"

Li Yandao: "His Royal Highness and the officials still have three days to arrive in Luoyang, so give him three days. If he is innocent, he will come to the governor's mansion within three days and explain the cause of Gong Taoguang's death clearly. Can it be done? ?”

Gong Siguang nodded like a pounding garlic: "Yes! Yes!"

Li Yan turned to Zheng Rentong, cupped his hands and said, "Inspector Zheng, this matter has been overstepped."

Zheng Ren said: "Li Jiyi is the assistant minister of the state supervisor, and this is also a matter of his duty. It's not overstepping. It's just that you are so young and have such a stable and steady style of conduct. Duke Wei is really lucky!"

The governor of Luozhou watched with cold eyes and understood Li Yan's intentions.

If Gong Siming is innocent, then use the hand of the helm of the Gong family to eliminate the unruly people in the family. At worst, it will be a lose-lose situation for both sides, since all the strength of the Gong family will be wasted anyway.

If Gong Siming has a ghost, then to capture the thief, first capture the king, first force him to reveal his true colors, and then come to Liting to sweep the holes, so as to reduce the turmoil in Luoyang as much as possible.

Thinking that this person would be able to find the best entry point after coming to Luoyang for a day, Zheng Rentong couldn't help feeling secretly: "If the old man's son can have a bit of Li Yuanfang's ability, it would be great..."

But the reality is cruel, not to mention compared with the youngest fifth-rank dignitary, Li Yuanfang, who is vaguely capable of being alone in the court, his son is still thinking about marrying Duzhi's wife to get started.

Thinking of this, Zheng Rentong's head hurts, it's not better, but it hurts even more!
At this time, Li Yan had already begun to warn: "Gong Wulang, tell your brother to be careful of his own safety, the thieves have already started jumping over the wall in a hurry, and can do anything."

Gong Siguang's face was full of gratitude: "I will definitely bring the words to you, Li Jiyi, you are so kind!"

Li Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Go!"

Gong Siguang left, Li Yan turned his head, saw Zheng Rentong frowned, and said with concern: "Duke Zheng, pay attention to your health, although Gong Taoguang is dead, we will definitely investigate the case of your son's poisoning. "

Zheng Rentong was embarrassed to say that he was worried about that unfilial son, so he could only say: "I believe in Li Jiyi's ability."

Li Yan thought of a part-time job: "Does Mr. Zheng like drinking tea?"

Zheng Ren channeled: "I haven't drunk it much, Li Jiyi is a person in the tea ceremony, do you recommend one or two?"

Li Yan smiled: "As you wish, I'm about to recommend some good teas. Mr. Zheng is an elder, so don't call him so politely..."

Zheng Rentong stroked his beard and smiled: "Yuan Fang, I'll just wait and see!"

……

bow mansion.

When Gong Siguang returned home, he found that the lights in the middle hall were still on, so he hurried in.

Managing a big family is very hard work, Gong Siming has always been here to handle official business, often working late.

Hearing the impatient footsteps, he knew it was the restless younger brother who had returned, and said without raising his head: "After you apologized, did you find out why Li Yuanfang came?"

Gong Siguang was in a daze when he heard the words: "This..."

That's right, I went to take the blame to plead guilty, how did it develop into that later?
As soon as he froze, Gong Siming knew something was wrong, sighed, put down the pen in his hand, and pressed his forehead: "Tell me, what happened again?"

Facing his elder brother's ready gaze, Gong Siguang shrank his neck, and one sentence still broke the opponent's defense: "Second brother, maybe next, it's you who will be the one to plead guilty..."
