Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 56 The Master and the Female Corpse

So he rushed out the door, exerting force on his feet, and reached the roof.

I saw a black shadow rushing out from the roof like the wind, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Hu Qian frowned, and suddenly smelled a strong smell of powder.

"Is it a woman?"

Looking at her figure, she doesn't look like a ghost, but if it is not a ghost, what woman can have such kung fu.

He shook his head, fell to the ground, and talked to Shen Yuzhen again.

Shen Yuzhen wanted him to rest in Axiu's room, but Hu Qian hugged her and said "Dear, love" a few words, and she softened, allowing Hu Qian to take her robe with him. Untie it and carry it to bed.

The next day, when the sky just dawned, I heard Xing'er running around and busy with work.

Hu Qian and the two woke up for a long time, but they didn't see Xiaohuan coming out to serve them, so they touched and kissed for a long time.

"Young Master, Young Madam, Myolie has come in."

As she spoke, Xing'er came in sweating profusely, helping them to dress and wash.

Shen Yuzhen said, "Where's Xiaohuan?"

Xing'er said: "Sister Xiaohuan is not feeling well, the pain is so painful that she can't get out of bed, let the servants confess to the young master and young madam for her."

Hu Qian said: "It's time to add a maid to the family."

Just as she was talking, Axiu asked outside, and then hurried in.

"Sister, don't blame me. Axiu only found out that Xiaohuan was ill. Speaking of it, Axiu is lazy. In fact, she should come to help every day."

After speaking, he quickly took the comb from Xing'er and combed Shen Yuzhen's hair.

Hu Qian said: "Okay, it's not your fault."

After washing up, Shen Yuzhen and the three immediately went to see Xiaohuan, and when they came back, they said that there was nothing serious, but the menstrual trouble was violent.

While eating breakfast, Xing'er suddenly said: "I heard that there is a Mrs. Wang in Jinling City, who is very good at treating women's pain. Many people say it is effective."

Hu Qian asked curiously, "What kind of person?"

Xing'er said: "But I can't say it, I just heard about it, I haven't seen it, if the young master wants to know, the slaves can go and ask."

Hu Qian said: "Okay, you can go and inquire. If she is really capable, please come and show Xiaohuan."

Seeing that it was the new year, the family was busy cleaning the courtyard room, Guo Yu suddenly came and said that the academy was closed today and it would not be open years ago, so Hu Qian was invited to come.

Hu Qian naturally had no reason not to agree, besides Du Jianzhi said last time that the Master would test his essay.

When we arrived at the academy, everyone was there, but the master didn't come out for a long time.

After waiting for a while, Guo Yu planned to go into the backyard to have a look, but just as he entered, he suddenly screamed.

Hu Qian and others hurried over.

I saw a few shelves tied with bamboo poles fell down, Mr. Qi was lying under the shelf, and two feet away lay a naked woman, her face was pale, her body was covered with blood and mud, she seemed to have been dead for a long time .

Du Jianzhi shouted: "Master!" He was about to go there.

Hu Qian grabbed him and said, "Don't go there! Don't destroy the scene!"

Then he walked over carefully, sniffing his wife's breath.

Fortunately, he was still alive, but he didn't know how long he had been lying here, his lips were already purple from the cold.

He tried the woman's breath again, and she was indeed dead.

"Forehead……"

Just watching, Mr. Qi slowly woke up. Seeing such a scene, he asked Hu Qian again, so he took off his clothes and asked Hu Qian to cover the woman on his body.

"Report to the officer."

Guo Yu said: "Master, if such a situation is reported to the official, it will be extremely detrimental to you!"

Du Jian knew how many people also nodded.

After getting along for a long time, they naturally believed in the character of the master.

The Master shook his head and said: "Being a man and doing things, I hope to be ashamed of my heart. Since I didn't kill this woman, I have nothing to be afraid of."

So Du Jianzhi was asked to report to the state government office, Guo Yu brought a quilt and put it on his wife, and Hu Qian lit a charcoal fire in the house.

After a while, the servants of the state government came.

Moreover, hearing that the man died next to Mrs. Qi, Xu Yuan conveniently came in person, and seeing Hu Qian was there, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Master Qi and a group of students have been invited to the front yard, only the governor of the state government office, Xu Yuanfang and others are in the back yard to investigate and perform an autopsy.

After a while, Xu Yuanfang returned to the front yard, looked at Hu Qian and said, "Jinggong, tell me what's going on."

Hu Qian cupped his hands and stepped forward, telling what he saw here.

Xu Yuanfang asked a few more students, and they all said the same thing.

So he looked at Master Qi, "Master, what's going on? Can you tell me?"

Qi Yuanchun's expression was as usual, "Last night, the old man was alone in the backyard arranging the flower stands, preparing to transplant some peonies in the next year, when he suddenly heard a 'plop', and then he didn't know anything.

When I woke up this morning, the students were already in front of the old man. As for who the woman was and how she died here, the old man really didn't know anything. "

Xu Yuanfang said: "Are you sure you don't know her?"

Qi Yuanchun said: "I don't know."

After asking a few more questions, Wu Zuo came back and reported: "My lord, I have experienced it. The woman died when her brain was broken by a blunt object. The time of death was around Hai hour last night. There were still traces of intercourse before her death."

Xu Yuanfang nodded, "Go back and have a look, but the state government has received a report from someone saying that the family is missing."

However, after waiting for a long time, no one reported to the official.

Xu Yuanfang had no choice but to ask someone to post a list to see if anyone came to identify the corpse.

Then he cupped his hands and said to Qi Yuanchun, "Master, I offended you."

The servants of the left and right yamen put the chain around Qi Yuanchun's neck, and locked him to the lobby of the state yamen.

But because no one reported the case, the identity of the deceased has not been confirmed, nor can it be determined that it was Qi Yuanchun who committed the murder.

The case hung there.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, a group of students naturally couldn't let the master be locked up in the prison for no reason, so they all looked at Hu Qian.

Hu Qian shook his head and said: "The woman is completely naked, she doesn't even have anything to prove her identity, and the master doesn't know anything, so I have nothing to do."

One person said: "I heard that Jing Gong will invite God, why don't you try?"

Hu Qian said: "The energy expended in asking God last time has not been recovered, so it is impossible for the present."

"Then what should we do, Master is our teacher, we can't just wait like this?"

Hu Qian said: "According to the master, the woman did not appear before the shelf fell."

Guo Yu said: "So, the woman should have appeared last night, after all, no one would run around with a dead body in broad daylight.

"How do you know she was dead when she came in?"

"What do you mean by that? She is not dead, could it be that she was killed by the master after she came in!"

Everyone was in a quarrel and couldn't open their hands.

Hu Qian said: "If you still want to offend Master, just listen to me quietly!"

Everyone fell silent.

"Let's first assume that she was killed last night and then dumped here by others.

So here comes the question, is she from Jinling City? Since she is from the city, why didn't the family report to the authorities when they found out that she was missing?

If she wasn't from Jinling City, where did she stay, was it an inn?Or somewhere else?Someone must have seen her!
Why did the murderer throw her dead body here with the master? Does he have any grudge with the master? "

Xu Yuanfang said: "Jinggong, according to your assumption, it seems to be sure that the murderer is not Master Qi."

Hu Qian said: "Naturally."

"Oh, how do you see it?"

"The place where the body is located is the master's garden. Although it is freezing cold, the soil is still very soft due to frequent turning. If you walk on it, you will definitely leave footprints.

However, apart from the footprints left by me, has my uncle seen any other footprints beside the corpse? "

Guo Yu immediately shouted: "By the way, there are only footprints around the master in that garden, and nowhere else! The master is two feet away from the corpse, and he must not have thrown it there!"

Du Jianzhi asked: "What does it mean that there are no footprints?"

"It means that the woman must not have walked in...

Instead, it fell from the sky and landed in the garden...

Can a normal person do such a thing..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of the figure he saw on the roof last night.
