On New Year's Eve, Zhao Jin was closing his eyes to relax when there was a sudden panic outside.
"My lord! My lord is not good!"
Zhao Jin opened his eyes suddenly, a dark color flashed across his eyes.
"Why are you panicking?"
The Yamen Guards rushed in and said, "A female body was found on the west side of the Dongjie River!"
It just so happened that the yamen guards who were on duty today were complaining a lot. How could such a big thing happen at this time?
"Female corpse?" Zhao Jin immediately stood up, put on his robe and walked out, "When was it discovered?"
"Just now, a child from a nearby farmer's family discovered it."
"Have all the yamen guards passed?" Zhao Jin asked as he walked quickly towards the outside of the yamen.
"We're already here." The Yamen Guard almost jogged to keep up with Zhao Jin, "Sir, are you going there too?"
"Such a tragedy happened on New Year's Eve. I must go and take a look."
Xu Yongshen and Li Qing also received the news.
Xu Yongshen's heart skipped a beat, and he always felt a bad premonition.
Mrs. Xu, who was having New Year's Eve dinner, frowned and said, "These matters are always the responsibility of the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Husband, you'd better not go into this muddy water."
“It’s Chinese New Year, it’s better to have a meal in peace.”
Xu Yongshen thought about it, and it was the same reason.
This kind of murder case will not be solved for a while, so there is no need to rush now. We will see if the situation is urgent tomorrow.
Li Qing was furious.
"What kind of villain? You are so audacious that you dare to commit murder on New Year's Eve! Prepare your car, I'm going to take a look."
Zhao Jin arrived ahead of Li Qing.
The scene has been surrounded by government guards, and no one dares to approach, but...
"After the body is removed, how will it be stopped here?"
The head catcher was stunned, "Surround them up? If this were in the wild, we would remove the bodies and then ignore them."
Zhao Jin frowned, "What should we do if the scene is destroyed? Surround the place and don't let anyone break in and destroy it."
"But," the head catcher was a little embarrassed, "do we need to send government guards to guard this wild place?"
"No need, put a notice here, surround it with sticks, and then pull a rope to stop it."
In ancient times, people were in awe of the government, and since this was the scene of a murder, they generally would not come.
Zhao Jin stood aside and watched Wu Zuo's autopsy, scanning the surrounding environment from the corner of his eye.
The catcher quietly looked at Zhao Jin.
This female corpse had been for a certain period of time, was rotten all over, was soaked in river water and turned white, exuding a foul smell.
Now that an autopsy is being conducted, the whole scene looks even more horrific.
Even looking at him felt a little uncomfortable. The eldest prince must have been frightened.
However, when the head catcher looked at Zhao Jin, he found that Zhao Jin had no expression on his face.
The head catcher was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief.
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Jin said calmly.
The head catcher was startled, "No, it's nothing."
"I'm curious why I'm not scared?" Zhao Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the head catcher, directly exposing it.
The head catcher stammered and was speechless.
Zhao Jin said with a cold face, "Just do your duty well. If I let this officer know that you have not done your duty, no one will be able to protect you."
Zhao Jin's voice was a little loud, and all the government guards could hear him clearly.
These government guards are just small chess pieces, and Zhao Jin does not intend to waste too much time here.
Taking this opportunity to give a warning, Zhao Jin would not mind killing the chicken to scare the monkeys if there are still those who are not discerning.
All the government guards dared not speak.
The county lieutenants did not have close contact with the government guards, and Xu Yongshen did not think that these government guards could cause any trouble.
Therefore, except for a few who wanted to cling to Xu Yongshen, most of the government guards did not take sides.
As the governor of Yunzhou County, Zhao Jin has sufficient deterrence.
a long time.
He washed his hands in the river next to him, "Sir."
"how?"
"The death was caused by a sharp weapon, and the fatal injury was a stab wound to the abdomen. However, it took too long, so we can only judge that it was a stab wound, but we cannot determine the specific details of the murder weapon."
"Furthermore, the deceased showed signs of being abused before his death, and there were wounds on his body from struggles. It can be determined that the woman was raped before her death."
"Based on current judgment, the deceased has been dead for about one year and two months."
"besides……"
Zhao Jin frowned, making it difficult to see his emotions, "What else?"
"The deceased seems to be Xie Rou, the legitimate daughter of the Xie family and the sister of Colonel Yihui."
"Inform someone to come and claim it." Zhao Jin sighed slightly, glanced at the female corpse, and walked away.
Hearing this, the smart government guard immediately ran to Xie's house.
Not long after, Xie Lian strode over, followed by a carriage.
A middle-aged, fat man stepped out of the carriage, with a big belly and a shaky walk.
Xie Lian didn't care about his father behind him and walked over quickly. When he saw Zhao Jin, he had no intention of finding fault with him like before.
When he saw the female corpse, his whole body froze.
Zhao Jin was close to him and could see clearly.
The dignified eight-foot-tall man's eyes turned red in an instant, and an inaudible cry escaped from his throat.
"Rou'er."
Xie Lian slowly squatted down and reached out to touch the female body.
Only then did Zhao Jin realize that Xie Lian's hands were trembling.
The revelation of this case was orchestrated by Zhao Jin. Seeing this situation, he felt a little unbearable.
"Thank you Captain, my condolences."
Xie Lian didn't seem to hear, and was stunned, like a tiger whose teeth were suddenly pulled out.
At this time, the head of the Xie family, Xie Quanyu, also came over. When he saw Xie Rou's body, he burst into tears.
"Rou'er! Rou'er! Open your eyes and look at daddy!"
Zhao Jin stepped aside, leaving his seat to the Xie family.
Everyone showed their unbearable expressions. They knew how big the Xie family's affair was back then.
For more than a year, the Xie family has been looking for Xie Rou. Now they have found her, but...
Xie Lian and Xie Quan stayed by Xie Rou's side for almost half an hour.
"Lian'er, we, we will bury your sister and let her rest in peace." Xie Quanyu wiped away her tears and said blankly.
Xie Lian stopped him, "Dad, no, we have to find the murderer first."
Xie Quanyu woke up from a dream, "Yes! The murderer! There is also a murderer!"
After coming back to his senses, Xie Quanyu suddenly looked at Zhao Jin. He staggered closer to Zhao Jin and said, "Master Sheriff! Master Zhao! The eldest prince!"
He said a little incoherently: "Please, the murderer must be brought to justice!"
"You must! Rou'er can't die in vain!"
Xie Lian took a deep breath and winked at the boy who followed him.
The young man understood and immediately supported Xie Quanyu, "Master, master, let's go back first. There is a young master here!"
"No!" Xie Quanyu looked panicked, "Rou'er's murderer has not been found yet. I want to wait for the murderer to be brought to justice before taking Rou'er home!"
"Dad, I am here. I will take Rou'er home and make the murderer pay the price." Xie Lian's voice was hoarse, like sandpaper polished by grit.
Xie Lian and the boy tried to persuade him again and again, and Zhao Jin also promised to catch the murderer, so Xie Quanyu was willing to leave.
