Xue Ling complained secretly. When he left, Suizhou was just asked by the Qianhu to talk to him, so he casually ordered him to invite Tang Fan. Xue Ling had been following Suizhou for quite some time. Naturally, he understood that such an order was not very urgent. Who knew that the boss Sui would sit here and wait?

He hurriedly said, "Brother, Lord Tang is here. If it's okay, I'll go down first?"

Suizhou nodded, Xue Lingru received a general amnesty, and hurriedly flashed away. Before leaving, she did not forget to give Tang Fan a look of self-seeking blessing.

Tang Fan coughed lightly: "I haven't thanked the Sui General Banner for giving the medicine. After using it three times, the traces disappeared and it worked very well."

Sui Zhou's eyes swept over the whiteness above the other person's collar that had recovered as before, said "Follow me", and got up and walked out.

Tang Fan followed him, crossed the courtyard, and came to another house. After entering, he walked down the stairs. As he walked down, the temperature around him was much lower than that on the ground.

Because the sun is gone for many years, the surrounding environment is very dark but not wet. The candlelight on both sides sways, as if it is possible to extinguish at any time.

It was quiet here and no one was guarding it. The two of them stepped on the steps, and the footsteps echoed in the distance, making people feel nervous involuntarily.

This place was originally used to place some torture weapons from the Beizhen Fushi, but now there is another body.

In order to store the corpse, Suizhou ordered people to bring a lot of ice cubes over and pile them up around the corpse.

The ice making of saltpeter originated in the late Tang Dynasty. By the Ming Dynasty, ice making technology was very developed. Every summer, hawkers would sell cold drinks and cold food on the streets, and wealthy families would use ice to cool off the heat and cool down. Beizhen Fushi was rich and powerful, not to mention.

"Zheng Cheng?" When Tang Fan saw the corpse, he did not hide his surprise, but also had some unexpected surprises.

This is not Tang Fan's psychological pervert, and he is not interested in the body of a playboy Zheng Cheng. Instead, he thought that the East Factory had caught fire and Zheng Cheng's body was burned to pieces, but he did not expect that Suizhou was prepared for it and transferred Zheng Cheng's body out.

Tang Fan said: "The Sui General Banner was foresighted, and Tang admired it very much."

Although there are many people who can think of this trick, there are really not many people who dare to do this.

If Dongchang knew that the one he took away was a "fake Zheng Cheng", he would definitely have to come to Suizhou for trouble.

However, with the background of Suizhou, I don’t have to worry.

But when Sui Zhou heard his praise, he looked very proud: "We have found nothing in him."

Tang Fan's gaze fell on Zheng Cheng. This playboy who was flirting with flowers and flirting with flowers during his lifetime had now become a silent corpse. His clothes were stripped of stalemate and he lay quietly here. Because of the ice cooling and preservation, the corpse appeared a strange blue-white, but it was generally intact and did not rot.

In fact, Tang Fan had already carefully checked the night he had just died. At that time, the coroner said that nothing was found. Later, it was normal for Suizhou and others to not be able to find anything. If it weren't for too many suspicious points, it would be reasonable to give him a cause of death that "dead with excessive indulgence and excessive yang loss".

Tang Fan's eyes looked at Zheng Cheng's body carefully, and the inspection procedure was more detailed than that night.

Seeing that he did not avoid his filth, Suizhou couldn't help but look slightly moved.

As the foundation of the country becomes increasingly stable, the importance of military officers has further decreased. The huge country is equivalent to the civil servant group governing it. This makes most officials like Tang Fan who have been promoted to the imperial examination have a sense of superiority in their bones. They have studied hard for decades. Once they become parents, they can be called good officials without exploiting the people, let alone specialize in business, love every line, and study positions as professionals.

The reason why Suizhou was surprised was that he had seen too many officials with similar positions as Tang Fan. Not to mention personally taking care of the bodies, he would frown even when he saw the bodies and avoided them far away. All the work was only dependent on the subordinates and officials below. Because they were not familiar with them, they did not doubt anything, which led to being kept in the dark and being deceived and concealed by subordinates.

In contrast, Tang Runqing is a hard-working official. Not to mention whether he knows the autopsy, the spirit of being willing to take it personally is enough to be impressive.

Tang Fan had already examined the body again, and did not even let go of the palms of his hands and soles. His eyes slowly moved inch by inch on Zheng Cheng's body, from his navel to go upwards, passing through his chest, neck, chin, nose bridge, forehead, and finally landed on top of his head.

Zheng Cheng was disguised his hair when he died, but now he is tied into a bun that looks like usual.

There was no obvious trauma on his face, and the previously speculated cause of death made people focus more on the neck, but ignore the top of his head.

"Who combed his hair?" Tang Fan asked.

"This was what I was like when I brought it back from the Marquis of Wu'an." Sui Zhou said.

Tang Fan didn't say anything else. He reached out and unbuttoned Zheng Cheng's bun, inserted his fingers into the other person's hair, and slowly groped.

Suddenly, Tang Fan paused and his face became a little strange.

Suizhou discovered it when he was ready: "What?"

Tang Fan: "Come here, the Baihui acupoint on top of your head."

Suizhou reached out as he said, groped for a moment, and his eyebrows were deeply locked.

"There is a slight depression at the Baihui point." He said.

Tang Fan understood the principles of medicine and pondered: "I remember that if acupuncture of Baihui acupoints can help to awaken the brain and calm the mind and calm the mind."

Suizhou was a martial artist, and he knew more about this than Tang Fan: "Because Baihui acupoint is a meeting of the three yangs and hundreds of meridians of strange meridians, this is called. Striking Baihui acupoint can cause serious injuries and coma and death."

Tang Fan: "But the night when the incident happened, only the maid Alin was there. She was a weak woman. Zheng Cheng was awake and could not die by a heavy blow. Besides, Alin himself intended to seduce Zheng Cheng, which shows that the relationship between the two is really in love and cannot be forced. She has no need to resist to the death."

Suizhou nodded: "There is another situation where there is no need to hit hard. As long as you are familiar with this acupoint and hit it with moderate force every day, will the person being hit immediately fall into a coma and die immediately, but over time, the meridians will be disrupted and ruptured to death."

In this way, the person next to the bed who is with Zheng Cheng day and night is the most likely person to become the murderer.

Tang Fan shook his head: "No wonder, because the hair on the top of his head is not easy to discover, and the cause of Zheng Cheng's death makes people not think about this immediately."

Suizhou: "Have you met Zheng Cheng's female family members?"

Tang Fan: "Yes, I discovered another thing on the way here, just to tell you."

Suizhou: "?"

Tang Fan: "I just bumped into the person who went to buy Bupleurum in the portrait, and I remember where I saw it."

Suizhou's eyes narrowed.

Tang Fan: "He is from the Marquis of Wu'an."

Suizhou: "Are you sure?"

Tang Fan nodded: "I will not admit my mistake. On the night of the incident, the Wu'an Marquis Mansion was in chaos. There were too many people at that time, so I just felt familiar before. After seeing people again, I remembered that I had seen this person in the servants of the Wu'an Marquis Mansion that night."

This is a very important discovery.

The two left the ice cellar, Suizhou asked someone to bring Zheng Fu over, and Tang Fan went to clean his hands.

Just now, I was required to touch the body by hand, so I had to force myself. The clean Lord Tang almost didn't wash off a layer of skin before I gave up.

Zheng Cheng's servant Zheng Fu has always been detained in the Northern Fushi Department and was soon found. Although the Jinyiwei is famous for the imperial prison, it is a treatment that only a certain level of people can receive. To deal with such a small person, there is no need for the Jinyiwei to use it. However, after Zheng Cheng's death, Zheng Fu was locked up again. He was extremely nervous and quickly became haggard. He looked like the clever look when Tang Fan first saw him, just like two people.

Zheng Fu was still confused when he saw the portrait. When he heard Tang Fan say that he had seen this person in the Marquis' Mansion in Wu'an, he exclaimed: "I remember it, this person is indeed in the Marquis' Mansion!"

Sui Zhou looked down: "Why didn't you say it before?"

Zheng Fu kowtowed repeatedly: "There are many people in the Marquis' Mansion. Even though the young man is following the young master, he may not be able to recognize him. Besides, this person is not considered a Marquis' Mansion. He came to join Aunt Hui's distant relatives in her mother's house. He has always lived in the outer courtyard. The young man has only met once or twice..."

Suizhou: "How long have he lived in the mansion?"

Zheng Fu: "It's been about half a year. I heard from the young master that he was a serious relative. At that time, Aunt Hui came to beg the young master, saying that everyone in her mother's family was dead, and there was only such a cousin left. I hoped to do an errand in the marquis's mansion and make a living. The young master agreed and sent the man to the stable to help. The young master rarely rode horses and sat in a sedan chair when traveling. The young man rarely saw this person, but I heard that he was honest and had never caused any trouble. If it weren't for Lord Tang's reminder, the young man wouldn't remember it!"

Suizhou stopped talking, so he immediately asked someone to take Zheng Fu down and ordered Xue Ling and others to prepare to go to the Marquis Mansion of Wu'an.

Tang Fan, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, looked at him asking Zheng Fu, suddenly spoke: "Let's wait!"

With this sound, not only Xue Ling stopped, but even Suizhou looked over.

Tang Fan said to Suizhou: "Have you thought about the consequences of this trip?"

No matter how fast Suizhou reacted, he didn't understand after hearing this sentence without any endings: "What does it mean?"

Tang Fan said: "We all know that the relative of Mrs. Hui would buy Chaihu to murder Zheng Cheng. He must be inseparable from Mrs. Hui, but Mrs. Hui is a woman with a deep house and doesn't even know the words. How do you know that adding Chaihu to Fuyangchun can kill people's lives? It must be because someone instigated the plot behind the scenes. This involvement may bring out the secrets in the Marquis of Wu'an. Although Mrs. Wu'an Zheng Ying has no real power, he is also a hero in Jingnan after all. This matter will not be beneficial to you."

Suizhou's face turned cold: "If Lord Tang is afraid, he can do whatever he wants, and I will not force him."

Xue Ling also shouted: "The matter has been found out. The murderer is about to be caught, how could he give up halfway! I said, Lord Tang, you are too brave, so you can only gang up with Lord Pan!"

Tang Fan shook his head: "You misunderstood. I'm not afraid. I just advise you to think clearly first. After all, this matter was caused by Shuntian Mansion's ineffective handling of the case. If there is any credit for it afterwards, I will never compete with the Beizhen Fushi Department. But if you need to take responsibility, please include me."

As soon as these words were said, Xue Ling was stunned at first, then laughed and gave a thumbs up: "Okay, Lord Tang, you are a man, I like it!"

Before, he had a bowl of wontons, and he had a preliminary friendship with Tang Fan, but this friendship was not strong. After hearing Tang Fan's words, Xue Ling had a little admiration for this gentle official.

Many people have taken credit for credit these days, but very few are willing to take responsibility.

Suizhou's face also eased: "I have my own concerns about this matter, so don't worry."

Pan Bin has already talked about the background of Suizhou before. Since the other party can say this, it must be OK.

The Jinyiwei is used to being domineering, and he really doesn't need to look at the faces of those powerless nobles.

Thinking of this, Tang Fan nodded and said no more.

He must say this. As for whether others appreciate it or not, it is someone else's business.

However, his attitude won the favor of Suizhou and Xue Ling.
