Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

The night was as dark as water, and a weak lamp was lit in the house. Jin Rui walked back to the couch and helped his wife cover the quilt that had just been scattered, but the lady punched him with one hand, but she punched him on the nose. A burst of soreness brought tears to his eyes.

Madam sat up startled from a nightmare, and saw her husband sitting on the side of the couch, holding his nose.

"Brother Rui, what's wrong with you?"

Jin Rui put down his hands, and smiled: "Seeing that you are having nightmares, and you are not sleeping well, I will help you compress the quilt."

"Did I hit you on the nose?"

"It's okay, go to sleep!"

……

It has been five days since Ying Shuqiong's case was closed, and Wen Chen had a rare few days off.

This day and evening meal, Wen Chen waited for Lan Yinger to finish her work in the back kitchen before eating with her. Lan Yinger joked: "After a few days of rest, you will finally grow some meat back."

Wen Chen touched his own face, then looked at Lan Ying'er's beautiful face with a particularly bright smile: "The main reason is not because of the rest."

Lan Ying'er suppressed her smile and asked, "Then what is the reason?"

Wen Chen reached out and touched her cheek: "Because of the nourishment of love! Silly girl."

Lan Yinger's cheeks flushed immediately, she lowered her eyes, picked up a bamboo chopstick and put a piece of shrimp meat in Wen Chen's bowl.

"It's really a fairy couple! It's really envious of others."

Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er all followed the voice, but it was Jin Rui, the left servant of the Ministry of War.

The two were about to get up, but Jin Rui said: "You two eat first, it's my official who bothered you."

Wen Chen cupped his hands: "Lord Jin, come to look for me, but something is wrong?"

Jin Rui looked left and right, saw that there were still a few guards in Jinyi, and said, "It's nothing important, we'll talk after you finish eating. I'm waiting for you outside." After finishing speaking, he walked out again.

Lan Ying'er looked at the door: "Last time, I felt that Mr. Jin seemed to be looking for you, and it seems that there is really something."

Wen Chen also put a piece of meat in her bowl: "Eat it quickly! After you eat it, you will know what he wants from me."

Jin Rui came here alone. Ji Gang had already returned home. He saw Wen Chen coming in the front hall and asked, "Where is Miss Lan?"

Wen Chen said: "She was afraid that my lord might have something to do with you, so she avoided it."

Jin Rui said: "Actually, I came to look for you two."

Wen Chen asked, "What's the matter, my lord?"

Jin Rui bowed his head and thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "It's about my wife's natal family. My wife's natal family is in Suzhou. Half a month ago, my wife's uncle got married, so my wife went to have a drink. As a result, at noon that day, My uncle disappeared, and the wedding had to be canceled at halftime. It wasn't until three days later that I smelled the smell of a corpse in a woodshed in the mansion, and I found out that my uncle was dead, and he was strangled to death. Because this uncle was The concubine my wife's grandfather later married was born to my wife's father and uncle. My grandfather was devastated by the loss of his son, so he pointed out that my father-in-law and uncle were the victims. Later, the two were arrested by the county government and sentenced to death. .My wife has always felt uneasy about this matter, and she always has nightmares at night, so she wanted to come to you and ask you to go to Suzhou Mansion to help me sort out this case again to see if there are any mistakes."

Wen Chen said: "My lord suspects that your wife's uncle was not the victim of your father-in-law and uncle?"

Jin Rui nodded.

Wen Chen said: "Since my lord has some doubts, there must be something wrong, can my lord explain it clearly?"

Jin Rui hesitated for a while, and said: "Ever since my uncle was born, my father-in-law and uncle have been dissatisfied with my uncle's share of the family property, so the two elder brothers have always treated my younger brother badly, and that's why my grandfather just took a bite." I insisted that they did it. But if they really did it, then they lived together all year round, why did they have to murder my uncle on the day when my uncle got married and there were so many guests, this is really unreasonable!" After a pause, He also said, "A few days ago you came to my house to inquire about the case. I wanted to tell you about the case at that time, but I was afraid that you would not have time at that time, so I suppressed it.

Wen Chen thought to himself: "Why are we afraid that we don't have time? We obviously want to see if we can solve Ying Shuqiong's case. Let's see what we can do."It's just that Ying Shuqiong's case has been closed for five days, why did Jin Rui come to them now?

Let's not investigate this matter for the time being, he said: "Let me let you inform Commander Master Ji first, so that we can go to Suzhou with Miss Lan."

Jin Rui said: "I have already told your Master Ji before I came, and he said it's okay, just let you go."

Wen Chen nodded: "Very well, we will set off tonight."

Jin Rui said: "I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to travel at night, but tomorrow is fine."

But Wen Chen said: "Let's go out tonight!" After coming to him until now, I'm afraid the case will have to be sent to the capital, and it will be even more difficult to handle.

Jin Rui raised his arms and arched his hands solemnly: "Thank you."

Wen Chen also bowed his hand and returned the gift: "I will do my best."

Next, Wen Chen went to Lan Ying'er and got into Jin Rui's carriage. There was also Jin Rui's entourage in the carriage, named Jin Tong.

Jin Rui arranged for the golden boy to accompany them, and it was also convenient to take them to Suzhou, and Jin Rui also paid for the meals and lodging along the way.

After the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Jin Mansion, Jin Rui got out of the carriage, and Jin Tong drove Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er directly towards the city gate in the carriage.

After traveling day and night, I arrived at Kunshan County in Suzhou Prefecture in the evening of the next day.

Lan Ying'er was used to the turbulent days of sleeping in the carriage, and fortunately Wen Chen was holding her along the way, so she wasn't too tired.

The prosperity of Suzhou City is no less than that of Kyoto.

Jin Tong and Jin Rui have been to Suzhou many times, and he knows the food here very well, so he found a very high-end restaurant and ordered a table of delicious dishes as soon as he entered the city gate.

Lan Yinger never forgets to learn while eating vegetables, "Well, this hanging lamb tail is delicious, I will learn how to cook it next time. And this roasted squirrel fish with deer tendon is also good."

Wen Chen said: "I still think the dishes you cook are more delicious."

Lan Yinger couldn't stop talking, and kept her eyes on the dish: "Actually, I just want to go outside more to see and eat, to learn new tricks, and not to let myself become a frog in a well."

Wen Chen smiled happily: "Then I will take you with me whenever I go on business, so that you can eat all over the place."

Lan Yinger looked at him with a smile, and nodded expectantly: "Yes, yes! I like to eat everywhere."

The next few dishes were served, although they were all good, but Wen Chen felt that it would be even better if his daughter-in-law was in charge of the cooking.

After eating and drinking enough, the carriage went to the county government first.

Wen Chen didn't inform anyone of his visit this time, so when they entered the county government office, Wen Chen lit up the Jinyiwei tooth plate, and the government servants and others were taken aback, thinking that the new county magistrate had committed some crimes .

A yamen servant hurriedly ran into the inner courtyard to inform the county magistrate, and another pawn and master Bo invited the handsome Jin Yiwei Qianhu and his party to sit in the front hall.

When they arrived at the hall, they saw a handsome young man approaching, and saw that he was dressed in a make-up uniform. It was obvious that he was the newly appointed county magistrate, Qiu Changqing.

"I don't know that Lord Qianhu of Jinyiwei came here, and the lower officials are far away to welcome you." Qiu Changqing arched his hands politely.

Wen Chen cupped his hands and said, "It's my official who took the liberty to visit."

Qiu Changqing said: "I don't know why Mr. Wen is here?"

Wen Chendao: "I was entrusted by Mr. Jin, the right servant of the Ministry of War, to assist Mr. Qiu in investigating the case of the Nie family."

On the other hand, Qiu Changqing had a happy face: "The official is worrying about this matter, but unexpectedly Mr. Jin called Mr. Qianhu of Jinyiwei to help. This is really a great thing." Cases are suppressed first and not reported.

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wen Chen asked, "Why is Mr. Qiu worried?" Although he knew it was because of this case, there must be a specific reason.

Qiu Changqing frowned: "When Xiaguan first took office, the case was just closed, and it was supposed to be sent to the higher authorities, but when Xiaguan looked at the case file, he found that there was no direct evidence for this case, only Nie Cang and Nie Ying brothers The two usually have a property dispute with the deceased and they are identified as the murderer. This seems a bit..." The word haste is hard to say, after all, this case was handled by the previous county magistrate, and the previous county magistrate was promoted, so he should be more secretive about what he said .

Wen Chen nodded: "Re-investigate this case thoroughly."

Qiu Changqing nodded: "Okay, if you have any orders, just tell your subordinates." Seeing Wen Chen and his party three people busy in the world, he said, "It's better to settle down in the guest room of the county government first, and then go to Nie's house. "

Wen Chen looked at Jintong: "Is it convenient to live in Nie's house?"

Jin Tong said: "It's very convenient. Nie's family is a well-known wealthy family in Kunshan, and they have multiple guest houses. I will go to Nie's family for a while, and I will arrange for the younger ones." He asked again, "Is it going now, or ?”

Wen Chen looked at the twilight outside: "I'll go later." Then he turned to look at Qiu Changqing, "Has the body been buried in Jian?"

Qiu Changqing nodded: "It's been half a month, and it's been buried."

Wen Chen's guess is roughly the same. I asked more questions just now, because I think the Nie family is a rich family, and they may store ice in the house to preserve the corpse.

Qiu Changqing ordered the officials to give Wen Chen the files of the Nie family case, including the autopsy records made by him.

After Wen Chen read the case file, he found that the content of the case file was very simple, so he said to Qiu Changqing: "First bring the two criminals to court to ask a few words."

Hearing a case at night is a rare thing. Qiu Changqing thought that Jin Yiwei really did not fear hard work and acted resolutely, so he immediately ordered the yamen servants to bring the two criminals to court.

Qiu Changqing originally wanted Wen Chen to sit in the hall, but Wen Chen said that he was only assisting in the investigation of the case, and everything had to be presided over by Mr. Qiu.

Nie Cang and Nie Ying were both wearing yellow prison clothes. When they were dragged to the hall, they were so bruised that they couldn't even stand up.

"Lord Qiu, we are wronged! We are wronged!" Nie Ying shouted as soon as she knelt in the hall.

"Lord Qiu, Master Qingtian, we brothers did not kill Jinrong, we were tortured into a trick, please uphold justice for us." Nie Cang, as the eldest brother, even though he is physically injured, still has the demeanor of a big brother.

Wen Chen said, "Where were you guys on the day of the incident? Nie Cang said first."
