Chapter 114 The death of the young master

Yang Qiuchi reached into Song Qing's arms, groped and lifted her underwear, and attacked her soft and elastic Jade Girl Peak.

Yang Qiuchi's slightly rude kneading made Song Qing tremble all over. She collapsed weakly in Yang Qiuchi's arms, allowing his claws to invade every inch of his land.

The desire has flooded Yang Qiuchi. The moonlight is so beautiful and the surroundings are peaceful. He wants to make Song Qing his own bride in this picturesque moon night.

Yang Qiuchi slowly placed Song Qing on the soft grass under the shade of the osmanthus tree, continued to kiss her deeply, temporarily pulled her hand out of her chest and took off her dress. Song Qing's body trembled for a moment, and a drunken moan came out of her mouth, as if she was waiting for the coming of this moment.

At this moment, a noise came faintly from afar. Yang Qiuchi didn't care and continued to unbutton the buttons on her dress. The sound became louder and louder, as if it was in the inner yamen.

The noisy sound suppressed Yang Qiuchi's desire. He stopped, raised his head and listened carefully. Sure enough, the noisy was in the residence of the prefect Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that a strong enemy attacked?

Song Qing's two lotus root-like jade arms were still hugging Yang Qiuchi's neck. She was already confused in the sea of ​​desire and murmured in a low voice: "Brother Qiuchi..."

Yang Qiuchi whispered: "It seems something happened!"

Ah? Song Qing woke up now and hugged Yang Qiuchi tightly in fear: "What's wrong?"

"Don't be afraid! It seems that something happened to the prefect Zhou Mansion." Yang Qiuchi broke free from Song Qing's hug, sat up, and listened carefully. It was indeed true. Song Qing also sat up and asked while tidying up her dress, "Brother Qiuchi, what happened?" Her voice trembled slightly.

Yang Qiuchi hugged her with heartache: "I don't know either."

The poetic atmosphere just now has been destroyed by this noisy. Yang Qiuchi was a little bitter, but he could not help. The current atmosphere is not suitable for continuing the romance just now. Besides, the prefect Zhou is good to him. He cannot ignore what he wants to do. Yang Qiuchi turned his head and kissed Song Qing's fragrant lips: "Qingqing, I have to go and see you. I will send you back first."

Song Qing kissed Yang Qiuchi back and said firmly: "No. I'm not at ease, I want to go with you too!"

The noise became louder and louder, and there were crying and scolding. Yang Qiuchi pulled Song Qing up, and the two of them ran towards the residence of the prefect Zhou.

When he arrived at the residence of the prefect Zhou Dynasty, he saw that the county magistrate Song, Song Yuner and the others were already there. Niu Baihu was not there, and after the banquet ended, he went back to the Baihu House. When Song Yuner saw Yang Qiuchi, she bit her lip and said nothing. She looked at him with grievance.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

County Magistrate Song said: "Zhou, the concubine of the magistrate Zhou poisoned the youngest son of the magistrate Zhou to death."

Yang Qiuchi was shocked: "I'll go and have a look." He stepped into the room. Song Yuner and Song Qing said in unison: "I'll go too!" Obviously, they were not at ease with Yang Qiuchi. Magistrate Song and others also followed him into the room.

There were seven or eight people in the room, and there was a swaddle cloth next to a big bed. Several maids and servants stood beside them, lowering their heads and did not dare to come out. Master Zhou was holding a whip and whipping a girl lying on the ground. The girl was wearing only a white tights and cried miserably: "Master, Master, I really didn't kill our children."

A big man with a burly figure and looks like a tutor was kowtowing to plead for the concubine. He should be the brother of the concubine when he heard that he was talking.

When the big man saw Yang Qiuchi walk in, he suddenly showed a very surprised expression on his face and stared at Yang Qiuchi for several times. Yang Qiuchi found that the big man looked at him with a strange look.

The prefect Zhou was ashen with a blue face, cursing and whispering. The whip whipped the girl on the ground, tore her clothes and left bright red blood marks. The girl screamed and rolled on the ground.

Yang Qiuchi said, "Master, what's going on?"

The prefect Zhou turned around and saw Yang Qiuchi and others coming in, and said hatefully: "This little bitch, dare to poison my son to death. I want to beat her to death to pay my son's life for me!"

The girl on the ground cried and said, "Master, I'm wronged. The young master was not poisoned to death by the lowly concubine. When the lowly concubine woke up, the child was like this."

"I dare to argue! My son's face is blue and purple. Who is he who poisoned him to death? Beat you, bitch!" Master Zhou whipped him with two more whips.

Yang Qiuchi quickly dissuaded and asked clearly what happened.

It turned out that the girl on the ground was Li, the concubine whom the prefect Zhou had taken a new concubine a year ago. This Li was very strong in her belly. A year later, she gave birth to a fat boy for the prefect Zhou. She was more than a month old. Tonight, Li fell asleep while feeding the young master. When she woke up, she found that the young master was no longer angry and screamed in fear. After learning about the situation, she found that the baby's face was blue and purple, and no outsiders had ever come in, so she believed that Li deliberately poisoned the young master to death. In anger, she asked the servant to bring the whip and beat the concubine hard.

Yang Qiuchi felt that this was very strange. If the concubine killed her child, there was no reason to choose such an occasion. Haven't she ever thought about escaping the blame? Now the concubine has been telling her that she was wronged. If it was really her, what was the motive? Didn't she know that her son would improve her status in the family of the magistrate Zhou? It was very unreasonable. After thinking about it, Yang Qiuchi decided to check the body. Then she said, "Master Zhou should calm down. Can you check the young master's body and see what's going on."

Master Zhou knew that Yang Qiuchi was a master of solving cases, and he was tired of beating, so he threw down his whip, took a breath, and nodded: "Young Master Yang is here to do it."

Yang Qiuchi walked to the bed and saw a baby's body in the scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled scrambled straponed scrambled scrambled straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed straponed

Yang Qiuchi placed the baby's body next to the cradle and asked the maids and servants if any outsiders had ever been here. If he heard or saw the baby vomiting or diarrhea, the maids and servants said that there was no, and no outsiders had ever come in.

This is strange. The main signs of a child's death appear to be inconsistent with arsenic poisoning, unlike arsenic poisoning. How did the child die?

Yang Qiuchi looked back and checked the baby's body's face again. He found that the baby's lips, ears, and nails were also blue-purple. These should be the characteristics of asphyxiation death, because the person who died of asphyxiation is deficient in the body. Due to hypoxia in the body, the oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood will be converted into reducing hemoglobin. When the reducing hemoglobin in the blood exceeds a certain proportion, the skin and mucous membranes will appear cyanosis, especially in the face and other parts.

If it is really suffocation and death, there should be bleeding spots in the eyes. Yang Qiuchi lifted the eyelids of the baby's corpse. Sure enough, there are bleeding spots of needle tips in the two eyeballs and the fornix of the eyelid conjunctiva. This is a common physical condition for asphyxiation and death. Asphyxiation will cause increased internal pressure of the capillaries on the face, and the permeability of the blood vessel wall due to hypoxia increases, resulting in congestion in the small veins and rupture of the capillaries, resulting in this point-like bleeding.

Yang Qiuchi carefully observed the back, buttocks and back of the baby's corpse, and found that not only had a wide range of corpse spots, but also had purple-black corpse spots, which further increased Yang Qiuchi's suspicion: Children should have died of suffocation because suffocation death has a lot of blood that does not coagulate and is prone to accumulation. Therefore, corpse spots appear prematurely and prominently, and the blood accumulation will cause capillaries to form purple-black corpse spots to bleed due to capillaries.

Based on these characteristics, Yang Qiuchi initially judged that the baby died of suffocation. But what exactly caused the baby to suffocate?

I just found out that there have been several maids and servants in the room tonight, and there is almost no possibility of murder by outsiders or these maids and servants. Li is right next to the child, so of course he has the opportunity to kill the child. If it is really a concubine Li kills the baby, the most likely method she uses is to use a quilt or a pillow. Common sense is that in non-emergency situations and when there are convenient tools around her, most people will not use their palms to cover others to death.

Therefore, if Li used a pillow and a quilt to cover the baby's mouth and nose, it was likely that there would be traces of mouth foam or even blood marks on the corresponding parts of the pillow and quilt. Yang Qiuchi carefully checked every inch of the pillow and quilt, but found no suspicious traces.

If the autopsy can be performed, it will be better to find out the real cause of death more accurately.

Yang Qiuchi first observed the baby's neck, and found no signs of pinching such as peeling epidermis or subcutaneous bleeding. Then he carefully observed the baby's mouth. On the inside of the lips, there was no bleeding, and the gums were not bleeding, unlike covering the mouth with force, causing suffocation and death. However, dealing with babies over one month old is different from dealing with adults. The strength of covering the mouth does not need to be too strong, which is enough to suffocate the baby, so bleeding or bleeding gums may not necessarily occur on the inside of the lips, so it is not enough to rule out that the death caused by covering the mouth.

Then, Yang Qiuchi checked the baby's mouth and nose. In the purple background color on his face, there was a pale area with a lighter color in the area where the mouth and nose were located. It was not easy to find without careful comparison. Moreover, there was a small amount of dry residue of white liquid in this area.

The baby's nose was slightly sunken inward, but the baby's nose was originally shrunk and could not be seen without any attention. Yang Qiuchi found a small stick, gently lifted the baby's nostrils, asked the maid to take a lantern to shine, and looked inward. He looked in sideways and found some grayish-white liquid inside. Yang Qiuchi stuck a little with the stick, took it out, smelled it under his nose, and nodded thoughtfully.

Yang Qiuchi turned around and walked to the concubine who was lying on the ground crying, squatted down and asked, "Young Master, aren't you really poisoned to death?"

This concubine Li knew from the very polite attitude of the prefect Zhou Magistrate to Yang Qiuchi just now that this young man was not an ordinary person. Now when he heard his questions, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "It's really not me who killed me. How could I be so cruel to me for my own child! - My child~!" His whole body was slung to the ground, crying bitterly.

Yang Qiuchi said, "Don't cry first, get up and talk."

The burly man next to him crawled a few steps and came over to Li and said, "Sister, don't cry first, get up quickly, sir, you still have to ask you."

Li got up sadly, still covering his face and crying quietly.

Yang Qiuchi found that there was a wet mark on the ground where Li had just slapped. He was slightly surprised and looked at Li's breasts carefully. Then he realized that Li's breasts were wet. He immediately realized that Li was in the breast stage of Putian, and his milk was sufficient. He was just whipped by Zhou Zhifu's whip and rolled on the ground, pressing his breasts, and the milk soaked his clothes on his chest. This discovery further affirmed his own judgment.

Yang Qiuchi stood up and said to Master Zhou: "Young Master was not poisoned to death."

The prefect Zhou was skeptical: "Then, how could his face be blue and purple?"

"This is a sign of suffocation death, and the young master was suffocated to death."

"Suffered?" Master Zhou walked to the bed with doubts and looked at the baby's body carefully, "Who suffocated my son?"

"Accident, this is an accident." Yang Qiuchi walked over and pointed to the slightly lighter area near the baby's nose. "Sir, please see, this white area near the young master's nose is left behind after the object blocking the young master's mouth." Yang Qiuchi used the small stick to open the nostril of the baby's corpse. "Sir, look here. There is a grayish-white liquid in the young master's nostril." Yang Qiuchi stuck a little and took it out and handed it to Master Zhou. "Sir, you can smell it. This liquid has a strong milky smell, which should be milk."

After listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, Master Zhou vaguely thought of the truth about this incident, but was not sure, and looked at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi sighed: "From the examination, it should be that Aunt Li fell asleep while lying on the bed and fed the young master on his side. Her milk was very sufficient and poured into the young master's nasal cavity, causing suffocation. At the same time, Aunt Li did not notice it after she fell asleep. Her breasts blocked the baby's mouth and nose, further aggravated the young master's suffocation. The suffocation that caused death did not take long, and a cup of tea was enough to cause death."

Yang Qiuchi thought that if an autopsy was performed, the baby's lungs should be found in the baby's lungs similar to that caused by the inhalation of milk into the lungs, which would be even more evident. Yang Qiuchi continued: "So, this is purely an accident. Aunt Li was unintentional. Don't blame her too much."

After listening to Yang Qiuchi's analysis, Master Zhou looked depressed and turned to look at Aunt Li. If this is the case, although this concubine was careless, it was much less guilty than deliberately poisoning her child. She sighed and said to Li, who was kneeling on the ground, "Since this incident is an accident, I will not blame you anymore." She made a gesture to make her get up.
