"Master...are you talking about the Bozhou Prefecture?"
"..."
"Why don't you speak?"
"..."
How dare I say that, Master?
I have only heard of superiors shifting the blame to their subordinates, and companies shifting the blame to temporary workers, but I have never heard of subordinates blaming their superiors.
Isn’t that the old man hanging himself?
Sun Wei let out a long sigh, thinking that his master was quite smart.
He said: "When the government examines the bodies of people who died suddenly, they must keep the bodies intact. Therefore, even if they are worried about causing plague, they should bury the bodies instead of burning them."
This is a reminder.
The master reacted immediately.
"Yes, yes, yes, I misunderstood what the master meant. Alas... I was also lazy and thought of burning it quickly and being done with it."
Li Qingcha looked at Sun Wei, feeling a little emotional.
After all, they are officials of Bozhou Prefecture, and they protect each other. Before any substantial breakthrough, the help provided by Sun Wei must be very limited.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Self-protection is not shabby.
Li Qingcha looked at the yamen runners behind him.
All of these guys looked dissatisfied.
I think they must have proposed the burial just now, but were sternly rejected by the master.
"It seems that burning the corpse was not the intention of the governor of Bozhou."
"Yes...ah...no...I mean, 'burning the corpse was not the intention of the governor of Bozhou', this is true."
"what are you saying?"
"..."
The master was really a little panicked.
For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him was setting traps everywhere when asking questions.
Li Qingcha said, "Fortunately you didn't burn the body, otherwise, the crime would have been committed and you would have been severely punished... I heard that the local punishments are very different from those in the capital. The first punishment is to use a clamp instead of a milder punishment like beating with a stick."
The words were so gloomy, several times more gloomy than the gloomy wind just now.
Cold sweat broke out on the master's forehead.
Li Qingcha added: "Oh, right, the fortune teller from Bozhou Prefecture..."
Sun Wei quickly took over the conversation.
"Mr. Li, a fortune teller cannot just read people's qi. For example, you... ahem... let me use myself as an example. I am an official and have made great achievements."
"Yes, I know. The last time I went to the palace to investigate a case, the chief eunuch said that people in the harem cannot read qi~"
"This one……"
Sun Wei gave his master a look that said "May the best of luck to you".
He is from the capital, and he can even enter the harem to investigate cases as a man, which shows that he is trusted by the emperor. If such a person wants to do something, it is difficult to trip him up.
Although the possibility of the fox taking advantage of the tiger's power cannot be ruled out, there is no need to risk one's future to stop it.
Li Qingcha spread his hands.
"As I recall, a legal advisor is not an official, but a clerk, right?"
Master: "..."
"Besides, you don't have any jade pendant around your waist, and you're wearing a corrugated hat that's as ugly as a watermelon rind. You're definitely not someone with any achievements."
"..."
"First, he is not an official, and second, he has no achievements. Can such a person be seen?"
"What a small injustice!"
The lawyer knelt down immediately.
Li Qingcha smiled.
She didn't want to use the Qi-reading technique on the master, because she didn't need the Qi-reading technique to tell whether the other party was lying or why he was lying.
The purpose of scaring him like this is very clear.
"I want to check these bodies."
As soon as these words came out, the master stopped crying and shook his head, saying, "No!"
Sun Wei, who was standing by, immediately dissuaded him, "Mr. Li, it's fine for you to investigate the scene and look through the files, but investigating the body...I'm afraid that's against the law and etiquette."
Li Qingcha replied: "Sir, do you remember where we met just now?"
"This... I remember it was Zhuxiangxie Lane. Is there any problem?"
"At that time, I had just been kicked out of my house by a lawyer."
"So that's how it is. I remember that the person who lived in Zhuxiangxie Lane should be... Wait, Mr. Li, you are not going to be a lawyer yourself, are you?"
Li Qingcha walked to the pile of firewood where the bodies were piled, thinking deeply.
Burning the body to destroy the evidence is necessary.
a long time,
"Is it legal for a lawyer to examine a corpse?" she said.
Chapter 203 Return the favor
No one answered.
The lawyers asked the government to provide evidence. Indeed, the Daxia Code also mentioned that this right should be guaranteed.
But does examining corpses fall within this scope?
Sun Wei couldn't help but hesitate.
Li Qingcha said, "Sir, just follow the rules. There is no need to get too involved in some things. Otherwise, once you get involved, it can't be explained away by saying 'friendship as a colleague'."
What this means is that there must be a bottom line when officials protect each other.
Sun Wei gritted his teeth and ordered the yamen runners, "Disperse! All of you disperse!"
The lawyer was stunned for a moment, then said in shock: "Master Judge, how can you be so rude?"
"As an official of Daxia, I am doing my job according to Daxia Law. What can I say?"
"You... Hello! Where is the lawsuit? He didn't submit the lawsuit to the government office. How can you recognize him as a lawyer? The Daxia Code also clearly states this point."
Sun Wei didn't expect to be countered, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.
Li Qingcha spoke first: "Master, aren't you being unreasonable? There are several parts to a lawsuit. Let's not talk about the cause and the plan for now, but the evidence should be written, right?"
Evidence, after discussing success or failure, there must be witnesses, so we must consider the person carefully.
This is the door to escape sin.
The master was speechless.
Li Qingcha pressed on, "You're even going to burn the body, so how can I write the evidence in my lawsuit?"
Master:......
The clown was me.
He was so angry that he was shaking and wanted to continue the fight.
Unexpectedly, Li Qingcha suddenly raised his voice and scolded: "Have you forgotten that you failed to light the fire twice just now? I really want the Hong family to kill you!"
Fatal blow!
The master suddenly fell to the ground and found that his penis was cold. He didn't know whether it was from the urine he just peed or from being scared.
He was ashamed.
"I will report this to the master right away."
Having said that, he crawled away.
The yamen runners looked at each other and then spontaneously split into two teams.
One team followed the master;
Another team carried the body back to the morgue and then stayed there to "protect" the body.
Li Qingcha ignored them and started to examine the body.
It has to be said that the Hong family died tragically. The government files recorded the case relatively conservatively and restrainedly. Only by seeing the real bodies can one know how cruel the murderer was.
At this time, Gong Lianxue and Xiang Nanyu came over.
The bailiff stepped forward to stop them.
Sun Wei ordered them to go.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Nanyu discovered the problem as soon as he moved to Li Qingcha's side.
"There's something wrong with this body."
Li Qingcha was surprised.
"You see it too?"
"Shit... our sect's skills are mainly based on swords and knives. If I can't even see this, am I still worthy of being Master's favorite disciple?"
"Higa clan?"
"go with!"
The girl rolled her eyes at Li Qingcha.
Gong Lianxue watched the two people flirting with each other, and she felt unwilling to admit defeat. She subconsciously observed the corpse.
a long time,
"I see."
Xiang Nanyu said: "What did you see?"
"Do the Hong family have any deep hatred for the murderer? Why would they chop the body after it's dead? Look at this body, the cut goes diagonally from the right shoulder to the lower left. It must have been fatal."
"Tsk..."
Xiang Nanyu was shocked.
This means that Gong Lianxue was indeed right.
Li Qingcha said, "Lianxue, do you think it's a deep hatred? Was the chopping after death a way to vent your anger?"
Gong Lianxue felt that this was indeed the biggest possibility.
but,
"Stupid Master...Since your stupid cousin asked this, it must be wrong."
Li Qingcha: ￣□￣｜｜
This is the second time that my pretentiousness has been discovered, and I feel very uncomfortable.
She coughed awkwardly.
"From the wound, the cut from the right shoulder to the lower left is not wide, but the wound is very deep. This is a typical thin blade wound."
"Sword?" Gong Lianxue said.
"Why would a swordsman do such a thankless task?" Xiang Nanyu shook his head. "In my opinion, this is a knife wound, but the shape of the knife... um... yes, it should be very similar to Liuguang."
"Liu Guang is a sword. Xu Zhiyang said before that it looks very similar to the steel-wrapped sword of the Yingsang people. Therefore, this body should be from the backyard of the Hong family."
