Chapter Thirteen New Developments
A slightly fat yamen runner shouted while running.
"Have you discovered any important clues?" Captain Xiao saw this situation and knew that there was good news.
"There is indeed an important clue." The slightly fat yamen runner nodded.
At this time, his forehead was still sweating, and Yun Yaru could see that he should be in a hurry to come back and tell them the situation.
"Sir, the Aunt Li in Qian's Mansion secretly met with Manager Yu again, but this time it was Manager Yu who took the initiative to contact Aunt Li." The slightly fat yamen runner pursed his lips.
"It seems that Manager Yu was panicked when we asked him, so he took the initiative to contact Aunt Li." Yun Yaru thought for a while.
Captain Xiao heard this, "What did they say? Have you heard it?"
"We pressed our ears against the wall and listened roughly." The slightly fat yamen runner nodded.
"I heard from their tone that Qian Haoyu was killed by Aunt Li, but he threw the body in that deserted house. Aunt Li and Manager Yu seemed to have no idea, because Aunt Li had already sunk the body into the pond." The slightly fat yamen runner paused.
"Then they said how Qian Haoyu was killed?" Yun Yaru only felt that this incident made her breath.
"I didn't say it specifically, but Aunt Li seemed to have guessed our intentions. She hurried back to the Qian Mansion without saying it." said the slightly fat yamen runner.
"It seems that if it weren't for the person arranged by Aunt Li, then there should be someone in the Qian Mansion who wanted to kill Qian Haoyu, and he happened to see all this." Yun Yaru thought for a while.
"Sir, what you mean is that there may be more than one murderer." Captain Xiao was a little shocked.
"Captain Xiao, think about it carefully, you should be able to guess it." Yun Yaru frowned slightly.
"But who is this person? Is it the second young master Qian we suspected before? We have to continue to investigate this matter."
"But I think this person should have a somewhat ambiguous relationship with Aunt Li. Otherwise, after knowing that Aunt Li killed someone, why didn't he tell Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Qian Da Shao, but chose to hide it."
"And there is also something that Aunt Li used to kill Qian Haoyu. We can call her personal maid over to ask about this matter. I think it is not difficult to find some clues from it."
"As for the shopkeeper Yu, Captain Xiao, you can take someone to take him back to the county government office now, and send someone to his house and the restaurant to check it out. Maybe you can find something."
Captain Xiao didn't expect that the new county magistrate would think of so much based on the words of Constable Huang.
It seems that this person should be more sensitive to the case than the previous county magistrate.
"Captain Xiao, are there any new discoveries in the Qian Mansion?" Yun Yaru turned her head and looked at Captain Xiao.
Yun Yaru's words interrupted Captain Xiao's contemplation, "Sir, I am just about to tell you that Ding Kai, the servant next to Qian Haoran, the second son of the Qian family, had just left the Qian Mansion in a hurry."
"Are there any yamen runners following?" Yun Yaru turned to look at Captain Xiao.
"Sir, Dagang has followed him. I think we will have new news soon."
After hearing this, Yun Yaru nodded directly.
"By the way, you can ask the coroner Wei to test the body again to see if there are any signs of flooding inside." Yun Yaru thought for a while.
Captain Xiao was said by Yun Yaru, and suddenly thought of the details mentioned by the yellow detective before. It seemed that Aunt Li pushed Qian Haoyu into the pond.
Thinking of this, he thought of the previous autopsy report by Wei Jun, and couldn't help but frown.
After all, this Wei coroner had been doing coroner for five or six years, so why did he neglect this matter? It shouldn't be that Captain Xiao didn't think of it.
"Don't worry, sir, I will ask him to sort out this autopsy report as soon as possible."
"There is no hurry to have an autopsy for the time being. Captain Xiao, you should send someone to call the coroner over now." Yun Yaru thought for a while, then glanced at him.
Captain Xiao came to his senses, "Guardian Wei?"
...
Knowing that Yun Yaru was looking for him, there was no change in Wei Corps' face, but his steps paused slightly, and then followed his yamen runners who came to ask him to come in.
"Sir, are you looking for me?" Although Wei Zhu's tone was full of questions, he was very sure.
Yun Yaru took everything into his eyes, but she didn't say it through.
At this time, Wei Zhuo couldn't help but glance at Yun Yaru, and his hands couldn't help but clenched into fists. He didn't know if she had discovered something.
Yun Yaru glanced at Captain Xiao next to her, and then she looked at Wei Corpse indifferently.
But the burning gaze in her eyes seemed to see through a person's heart.
Captain Xiao said: "Wu Corps, you should be able to see whether the deceased was flooded before or after death, but why did you not mention it in the two previous autopsy reports?"
Wei Junji calmed down and said, "That Qian Haoyu should have been drowned in the water after his death. Maybe as soon as the man left, someone else caught the body at the back, which made me not notice."
Although Yun Yaru still had suspicion in her heart, she said on her face: "Then this county asked you to test the body again now. Can you find out if Qian Haoyu was flooded?"
"Sir, I will do my best." Wei Zhu's tone was still the same, as if there was no change in the question just now.
...
Before the coroner of Wei could think about it carefully, the magistrate of Yun Yaruyun followed him.
Captain Xiao saw that the county magistrate had followed, so he could only follow him. This was the first time he went to the coroner's room.
Not long after, Yun Yaru, Captain Xiao, and Corsell Wei walked into the corseller room together, and what was hit was the stench of the corpse emitted from the corpse.
Yun Yaru hurriedly took out the mask from her small bag with Hongye in advance and put it on her face.
Neither Captain Xiao nor Wei Corps expected that County Magistrate Yun would prepare these things in advance.
At this time, the coroner Wei had already taken out the mask and gloves from his coroner box.
Captain Xiao had to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and then he felt much better. He thought to himself that he would never enter the coroner room next time.
Captain Xiao felt the stench of the corpse room, and at the same time, he felt that the inside might be more silver than the outside.
At this time, Wei Zhuo had already taken off the deceased's clothes, cut his body directly with the blade in his hand, and took out the stomach from it.
He didn't notice that Yun Yaru had already walked to his side, staring straight at the deceased's stomach.
After all, if Qian Haoyu was really thrown into the pond, there should be water remaining in his stomach.
"Sir, it smells bad here, so it's better to stand a little further." Wei Zhu's words were just for her, but in fact he didn't want her to see it.
"This county is not that weak. You should continue to have an autopsy, as a coroner." Yun Yaru replied lightly.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Wei Junzuo was not ready to say anything else, so he had to continue to look down and start testing.
During this process, Yun Yaru was also secretly observing the dead.
After almost a quarter of an hour, the coroner had already taken out the needle and thread, sewed all the parts he had just cut open, put on his clothes again, and then took off the mask and gloves.
Captain Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Coroner Wei had done it. It smelled so bad.
Yun Yaru turned around and saw Captain Xiao like that, and hurriedly said, "Or why don't you go out and have a good rest first, after all, the smell here is not as good as outside."
It’s really that Captain Xiao’s face is very bad now and looks as pale as paper.
"No need to worry! This is not done." Captain Xiao shook his head repeatedly.
He didn't want to be worse than this new county magistrate, Lord Yun. Besides, he is a dignified captain, not a weak scholar like Prince Yun.
But he was still a little dissatisfied and could not stand there and look at Yun Yaru, who was looking at the corpse without changing his expression.
Since he didn't appreciate it, Yun Yaru didn't say much, "Wu Corps has any new discoveries this time?"
"Mr. Yun, let's go out and talk!"
This time, Yun Yaru did not refuse and walked out of the coroner room directly.
Captain Xiao only felt that he could finally smell the long-lost aura. This feeling was so good that he couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The coroner first washed his hands with water from the basin outside, and then said:
"He was thrown into the pool after his death, but maybe because he stayed in the water for less time, there was very little water left in his stomach, so I could see it from the stomach wall."
Yun Yaru kept paying attention to his small movements when he was talking. It seemed that this Wei coroner did have some problems.
"It seems that Qian Haoyu has indeed been in the water for a while, although it has not been long." Captain Xiao's face has returned to normal now.
"Then let's continue to keep an eye on me as we said before." Yun Yaru reminded.
...
Yun Yaru left the coroner room and returned to the study.
Soon, Hongye walked in with the food box, took it out and placed it on the dining table one by one.
"Young Master, try the tomato and fish soup, which I bought at the market early this April 19th and September 1st."
"Then I have to try it."
Yun Yaru then got up and sat down at the dining table beside her. She first put a bowl of tomato and fish soup in a spoon.
Yun Yaru lowered her head and took a bite of the tender fillet with thick tomato sauce, which felt endless aftertaste.
"Hongye, what's done well, is going to catch up with the skills of the chefs in the big restaurants outside."
"Young Master, you are making fun of me again. My skills are not as good as you said." Although Hongye was very happy with Yun Yaru's praise, she was still very self-aware.
Not long after the lunch, Zhang Tinghai hurried over to find her.
"Sir, the Qian Mansion Manager just came to the yamen. He asked us for a long time that we could get them to carry the body back to the mansion."
"After all, they have set up a mourning hall. If the body has been in our county government, it is difficult for them to explain to their relatives and friends who come to pay their respects."
"You go over and tell them directly that as soon as the case is closed, they can come and get the body back." Yun Yaru thought for a while.
Because through the clues they have grasped so far, the murderer should be caught soon in this case.
"That's all we can do!" Zhang Tinghai took a deep breath.
However, Yun Yaru was a little puzzled. Their investigation was entering a critical stage and the truth of the case would soon be revealed.
It is indeed a bit strange that the people from the Qian Mansion chose to come to the yamen to ask for a corpse at this time, which made her suspicious.
"Zhang Tinghai, do you know where Wei Corps went after the body test?" Yun Yaru raised her eyebrows.
"Seeing him hurried to Lanshan Pavilion, as for who he went there, I don't know yet." Zhang Tinghai thought for a while.
"Don't worry about this. Captain Xiao has sent someone to secretly follow Manager Yu. If the coroner Wei wants to meet Manager Yu, we will know soon." Yun Yaru told Zhang Tinghai directly about this.
When Zhang Tinghai heard the words of County Magistrate Yun, he originally wanted to help Wei Corps explain, but Wei Corps' strange behavior made people suspicious.
