Madam let me die

Chapter 7 Murder Case
When Li Nanke woke up, Dongfang had just started to turn pale, and the window was shrouded in a blue and gray mist.

There was no sign of a daughter-in-law in the house.

Luo Qianqiu always went to bed late and woke up early, and Li Nanke had already gotten used to it. After getting dressed, she took a towel and tub to the well outside the door to wash.

Although living at the foot of the mountain is cold, it is fun and at ease.

Besides, it is not far from the town, so shopping and grocery shopping are not inconvenient.

"Get up."

The woman who was working in the kitchen saw her husband with a gentle smile on her face.

Li Nanke stretched his waist, and greedily breathed in the residual night fragrance in the air.But for some reason, I felt a dull pain in my chest, as if my heart had been dug out and pickled with old sauerkraut.

He rubbed his heart, said with a smile: "I was awakened by the smell of the rice cooked by my wife."

The turtle master in front of the door has been lying on his stomach unchanged for thousands of years.

The enchanting goose sister also stood by the pond to show off her beauty as usual.

However, after seeing the man, the two beasts felt a little uncomfortable, looking at each other with vigilant eyes, for fear that the man would take out the pot and stew them.

"Did Mr. Xiang sleep well last night?" the woman asked.

Li Nanke stuffed the soft ponytail and brushed his teeth into his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's okay. Older people have more minor physical problems, and it hurts here or there."

"Xianggong's body is inherently weak, so he should be more active on weekdays and get more exposure to the sun."

The woman said with concern. "When I turn around, I will cook a few more medicines for my husband to take."

Li Nanke's complexion was not good.

What is it!

What's wrong, my brother, I can resist the eighth floor with a bag of rice, and I beat ten girls every time I go to a nightclub, is this still called wrong?

However, since his daughter-in-law is a doctor, Li Nanke couldn't refute anything, so he poured the water after washing all over Sister Goose's body, and went into the room for breakfast full of complaints.

The breakfast is delicious, although they are all porridge and soup, but the two are different.

What Luo Qianqiu drank was tremella tangerine soup, which has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening lungs, beautifying and rejuvenating the skin.

For Li Nanke, walnut gorgon powder porridge has the functions of nourishing the spleen and kidney, benefiting the eyes and ears, and solidifying the essence.

Seeing her husband gulping down the porridge with a sullen face, Luo Qianqiu frowned and reminded: "Sister, although I cook the gorgon seeds very badly, I have to chew them slowly so as to nourish my body. You like this It’s also bad for the stomach if you eat it.”

"Uh, the main reason is that Madam's cooking is so delicious." Li Nanke laughed.

Halfway through the meal, someone came to look for Li Nanke in a hurry.

The person who came was a yamen servant.

Seeing Li Nanke, the yamen servant said out of breath, "Brother Li, come with me! My lord is waiting for you... There is a murder case on the East Street!"

"Murder case?"

Li Nanke was startled.

These two days are really not peaceful.

"Isn't there old man Wang?" Li Nanke was very surprised.

Old man Wang is an old clerk of the Dongqi county government. He lives near the county government. He is cheerful and kind. It is through him that Li Nanke got such an errand.

"The old man drank half the night last night, and now he is still lying on the head of his daughter-in-law's house, unable to scream, so he can only look for you."

The yamen servant smiled wryly.

"Drunk again." Li Nanke was also helpless.

The old man was really addicted to alcohol, and he hung a wine gourd around his waist all day long. If he hadn't had rich experience in autopsy, he might have been kicked by the county magistrate.

"move!"

Before he had time to say goodbye to his wife, Li Nanke was dragged away by the yamen servants.

In less than half a stick of incense, Li Nanke followed the yamen servant to an alley on Dongjie Street, Dongqi County.

There are already many people around, talking about it.

Squeezing through the crowd, Li Nanke saw the magistrate Shen Chunhe sitting on the stone pier, frowning.

There was a woman crying in the courtyard.

"My lord, Wu Zuo is here!" The yamen servant hurried forward to report.

Although the weather was slightly cool in the morning, the county magistrate Shen Chunhe seemed to have gone through a marathon. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he kept wiping it with a handkerchief.

It makes the already bloated body look very weak, and it is estimated that there is a lot of drinking and lust on weekdays.

Hearing the report from the yamen servant, Shen Chunhe waved his hands impatiently: "No need, the people from the night watch department are checking the corpse inside."

"Yes."

The yamen servant was a little embarrassed and stepped aside.

Night patrol?
Li Nanke was puzzled.

Generally, the night patrol department will only intervene when it is involved in the "Red Rain" case. Could it be that this murder case is related to the "Red Rain"?
After greeting the familiar police officers, Li Nanke entered the courtyard.

The small courtyard is not big, but it is very clean. There is an old phoenix and guqin standing beside the door, and some flowers and plants are planted in the corner... It can be seen that the owner is an elegant person.

Several capable detectives searched for clues in the courtyard.

A middle-aged woman in rough clothes and slightly dark skin was crying loudly in front of the window outside the house.

Li Nanke approached the door and saw the night watch officer who was handling the case inside.

It's two men and one woman.

The woman was wearing a long black dress, with an exquisite and graceful figure, and her silky silky hair hung down to her waist, like a stroke of ink, her end was aloof and dusty.

Because of being sideways, Li Nanke only saw the woman's quiet and beautiful profile.

The other two are her subordinates.

One has a delicate and elegant temperament, and the other is simple and strong.

These three people are Leng Xinnan, Tieniu and Guo Gang who went to Lin's house to investigate yesterday.

Meng Xiaotu, who has a super large cup of milk tea, is not here.

Maybe because she sensed the man's gaze, Leng Xinnan turned her head to look at her, and slightly frowned her brows that were not drawn.

Li Nanke coughed dryly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, a humble job is the work of the county government."

The other two people in the room also looked over subconsciously.

"Hey, is even a small job job so competitive now? Such a handsome young master also became a job job. It's rare, really rare."

It was the Iron Bull who spoke.

It may be that Li Nanke's appearance gave him a sense of crisis, and Tieniu's teasing tone was tinged with sarcasm.

Guo Gang, who was carefully examining the corpse, just glanced up at Li Nanke, and continued the autopsy.

Leng Xinnan just hummed, but also didn't bother to pay attention.

It was the first time for Li Nanke to see a woman so ignoring his handsome appearance. He was surprised and gave a thumbs up secretly——woman, you successfully caught my attention.

There was a faint smell of soot in the house.

Li Nanke noticed that there was a little residual coke in the stove beside the table.

The body lay on the bed.

On the side of the bed, there was a puddle of dried vomit.

At this time, Dong Yu, the head catcher of the county government, quickly stepped into the house and handed Tieniu a statement.

After reading it, Tieniu, who was as handsome as a scholar, walked up to Leng Xinnan, waving his folding fan, and said in a low voice:

"Sister Leng, the investigation has made it clear that He Qingyu drank at Baiyun Restaurant three days ago, around the seventh day of August, and then returned home alone. Since then, no one has seen him, including his sister-in-law.

His sister-in-law lives far away from him, and she basically comes to help clean the yard or wash clothes every five or six days, and sometimes she will delay for a few days when there is something at home.

His sister-in-law came this morning around Chenshichu, and the door was locked inward.Because no one answered his yelling, he became suspicious and called neighbors to break the door and found the body. "

Leng Xinnan drooped her thick eyelashes, as if she was thinking about something.

The woman is quite upset.

In order to investigate the "Red Rain" incident of the Lin family yesterday, all those involved were investigated and interrogated.

And one of the clues pointed to He Qingyu.

Who knows that the interrogation has not yet started, and the other party hangs up one step ahead of time, which is really unlucky.

After the autopsy, Guo Gang came and said, "According to the condition of the corpse, the time of death was three days ago. Accidentally poisoned by soot..."

When Guo Gang reported, Li Nanke also came to the corpse.

The deceased was a man in his 30s with a handsome and dignified appearance.

The other party was wearing a moon white underwear, lying quietly on the bed.

The inner shirt has been untied by Guo Gang, and there are a lot of corpse spots on the waist and back on both sides, showing a slightly dark cherry red.The rigor has been completely relieved, all the muscles have softened, and the joints can rotate.

The rotten smell of the corpse was already a little obvious.

Li Nanke opened the eyelids of the deceased again, and found that the cornea was obviously cloudy and white-white, and the pupils were no longer recognizable.

There are indications that the deceased did die of carbon monoxide poisoning.

The time of death was three days ago.

The corners of Li Nanke's lips curled up slightly, and he looked at Guo Gang and secretly said, "These fellows in the Night Patrol Division still have two brushes."

But when his eyes fell on the corpse's hair, his eyes could not help but focus slightly.

"This is……"

Li Nanke leaned over to observe carefully for a moment, then gently turned the dead man's head a little, and saw some gray powder stained on the back of the man's head.

Li Nanke rubbed the powder with his hands, his expression thoughtful.
