Xie Hongyi was discovered by the night watchman. Xu Maozhi went to investigate before dawn, and now the body has been taken to the Court of Judicial Review. Since Xie Hongyi was killed after leaving the Sihe Winehouse, the people in the winehouse are now being interrogated.
Xu Maozhi didn't suspect that the Xiao family was involved in this incident. He just wanted Yi Qing to go and take a look at the body. Solving the case quickly would also prevent the Xiao family from being implicated.
Yi Qing was a bit slow to react. Just after the death of the vampire bat, such a murder case occurred. The capital city had been rather strange recently. "Wait a moment. I'll tidy up and go with you."
"Okay." Ran Ran nodded.
It was better to let Ran Ran come. It would be easier to talk, and it wouldn't arouse people's speculation.
Just as Yi Qing had changed her clothes, Lord Ghost rushed in in a hurry and was stopped at the door by Ruo Hong.
"Yi Qing, Qing Laosan has been arrested. Go and rescue him," Lord Ghost shouted outside.
Yi Qing came out while tidying her collar. "Who is Qing Laosan?"
"Qing Zijin," Lord Ghost looked at Yi Qing as if she were an idiot.
Couldn't people have some peace in the early morning?
"What happened to him?" Yi Qing asked impatiently.
"The expenses of Xie Hongyi's food and drinks at the Sihe Winehouse were charged to his account. Since Xie Hongyi was killed, he is suspected," Lord Ghost said directly. "It definitely wasn't Qing Laosan."
"Then why did he pay the bill for Xie Hongyi?" Yi Qing thought the relationship was quite complicated.
"Previously, he wanted to find a backer in the capital city. After much effort, he found the Xie family and spent a lot of money. Although the Xie family has fallen, there is still the Empress. So he didn't give up."
"People die for wealth," Yi Qing said and went to the backyard.
"Hey, where are you going?" Lord Ghost saw that Yi Qing didn't seem to be going out.
"I'm so busy every day. I have to go and see my two precious sons. There are still two patients at home. I originally planned to go and find Mu Lixue today. But since you all came this morning, I'll have to run around again." Yi Qing wanted to check on the conditions of Wu Min and the maid first.
"There's a carriage," Lord Ghost thought there was no need to walk.
Xie Hongyi's death was extremely tragic. His heart and liver had been dug out. Mrs. Xie was kneeling on one side, crying her heart out. What had happened to their Xie family? Not only had their reputation been ruined, but now someone had been killed.
"It's all because of the Xiao family. If it weren't for the Xiao family, our Xie family wouldn't be like this. They'll all die a bad death," Mrs. Lu cried and cursed.
On one side stood Wen Shi, Xie Hongyi's wife. She lowered her head and shed tears, but she wasn't as heart - broken as Mrs. Xie. The recent events in the Xie family had already exhausted the Xie family members.
Xie Hongning was discussing this matter with Xu Maozhi, saying who his elder brother usually had conflicts with.
Xu Maozhi glanced at Mrs. Xie. If Mrs. Xiao heard such curses, the Xie family might be in trouble again. "Mr. Xie, could you please comfort Mrs. Xie first?"
"Who wouldn't be sad when such a thing happens to their family?" Xie Hongning had no intention of comforting her. "Everyone in the capital knows that Mrs. Xie never forgives easily. Yesterday, my elder brother might have offended her when he was drunk. She had my elder brother kicked into the mud pit. If she wasn't satisfied, she could do anything."
Xu Maozhi felt a bit sympathetic towards the Xie family. If you don't have the ability, don't act unreasonably. "Without evidence, even the Court of Judicial Review can't just say things casually."
At this time, Yi Qing came, only bringing Ruo Hong with her. Lord Ghost and Ran Ran were waiting outside.
"Give me back my son's life," Mrs. Xie directly pounced on Yi Qing.
Just as Ruo Hong was about to stop her, Yi Qing pulled Ruo Hong aside and kicked Mrs. Xie on the shoulder, kicking her to one side. Everyone was stunned.
"Don't act like an old bully and make a scene here. Don't just put blame on others casually. Do you think our Xiao family is easy to bully?" Yi Qing scolded.
Mrs. Xie was frightened, and Xie Hongning didn't dare to say anything more. He could only go to one side to help his mother.
"Mother, we can't afford to offend the Xiao family now," Xie Hongning said without lowering his voice, looking extremely sad.
Yi Qing looked at Xie Hongning. He was probably Xie Hongyi's younger brother. She hadn't seen him before. "Don't act like a victim and make a scene here. The truth will come out once the case is solved. Lord Xu, where's the body?"
Xu Maozhi thought the Xie family members were going to cause trouble and was still thinking about how to solve it. Unexpectedly, his sister - in - law had solved it with one kick. From now on, Mrs. Xiao would be his real sister - in - law, closer than a real one.
"The Court of Judicial Review is handling the case. Mrs. Xie, please step aside first," Xu Maozhi wanted to clear the place.
"We won't leave. Who knows what she'll do to my son's body?" Mrs. Xie cried.
"What can I do to a dead man?" Yi Qing really admired the way the Xie family thought. "If you don't leave, then don't. Let's just look at the body directly."
Xu Maozhi asked someone to lift the shroud. The Xie family members were so frightened that they immediately ran out. Only Wen Shi was still standing there with her head down, but she looked extremely scared.
If he had known this, Xu Maozhi wouldn't have covered the body. It would have been quieter.
"Mrs. Xie, you can go out too," Xu Maozhi saw that only Wen Shi was left.
"I beg the lord to definitely seek justice for my husband," Wen Shi bowed and left.
Yi Qing thought this woman was quite steady. "Who is she?"
"Wen Shi, Xie Hongyi's wife," Xu Maozhi simply introduced her. "The only one in the Xie family who can stay out of trouble."
Yi Qing turned to look at her. "Wen Shi?"
She didn't have a good impression of people with the surname Wen. The original owner had been harmed by someone with the surname Wen.
"Oh, she's the legitimate daughter of the Wen family in the south of the Yangtze River," Xu Maozhi suddenly remembered something.
"There really is a connection," Yi Qing said impatiently. "Where was the body found?" She walked around to look at the body.
"In an alley not far from the Sihe Winehouse," Xu Maozhi said and picked up the dossier. "This is the situation at the scene."
Yi Qing took it and looked. "Was he sitting against the wall when he was found?"
"Yes."
"Without a heart and liver?" Yi Qing couldn't believe it. "Didn't the other internal organs spill out?"
It was easy to say "cut out the heart", but the heart was protected by the ribs. To keep the body intact while taking it out was a technical job.
"No," this was what shocked Xu Maozhi.
Yi Qing wondered if there was anatomy in this era. How could someone be so perfect? "He had his heart and liver cut out while he was still alive."
"Ah?" Xu Maozhi was even more shocked. "Then why didn't he scream?"
"What if he was unconscious?" Yi Qing carefully examined the body.
"You mean he was poisoned."
"I saw him drunk out of his mind yesterday morning. What did he do after being kicked into the pond?"
"We've asked the waiter in the Sihe Winehouse. After being taken out of the pond, he took a bath and changed his clothes. Then he had been sleeping. When he woke up, he lost his temper in the Sihe Winehouse. The wine girl Wan'er in the winehouse accompanied him to drink a lot before he calmed down. When he left the winehouse, he was drunk again."
Yi Qing pinched open Xie Hongyi's mouth and looked. "He lost so much blood, but the livor mortis on his body is relatively obvious, which means his body was hot before he died, and the capillaries were severely congested. He might have struggled violently." Yi Qing paused here. The body didn't seem to have any external injuries. "Or there was some special method to make his body hot. Judging from the modus operandi and the way he was killed, it should be revenge."
Xu Maozhi suddenly understood. "I'll go and investigate the people who have enmities with the Xie family."
"It's better to be a sworn enemy. The other person has been eyeing him for many years. Moreover, this person might be a cook or a doctor."
