Chapter 65 Autopsy
As soon as he went out, Wang Yao met the two brothers Shitou and Ergou again. They were "patrolling" and wandering around the streets near the martial arts gym.
Wang Yao smiled with relief, called the two over, patted each of them on the shoulder, and said, "You've done well, but you can still develop a little power. You don't need strength, just the ability to gather information."
"Boss, are you leaving Tongning?" Ergou asked anxiously.
Shi Tou looked at Yan Wu behind Wang Yao warily, as if she had kidnapped Wang Yao.
Wang Yao pulled out a few silver notes from his pocket, all worth a hundred taels, and handed them to the older Shitou, saying, "I'm going to travel for a while. This money will serve as your starting capital. Also, practicing martial arts well might help."
Shitou took out the banknote and held it tightly, while Ergou's eyes lit up. They had never come into contact with so much money before.
After watching Wang Yao go away, they looked around vigilantly. Fortunately, there was no one around, so they quickly ran into the martial arts hall.
All this money was found by Wang Yao from the Dali Gang. He gave part of it to Zhang Yun and still had more than a thousand taels on him.
"How come you still have the time to deal with these things and recruit disciples and younger brothers? You are really, haha." Yan Wu joked with Wang Yao.
She was indeed acting before, with the purpose of forcing Wang Yao to follow her to solve the case and to observe Wang Yao at the same time.
As early as when Wang Yao just appeared on the yellow list, the Wubusi noticed him. After much investigation, they found that Wang Yao, who suddenly appeared, did meet the requirements.
He has a clean background, has accumulated a lot of experience, and has not done anything bad, except for the blood feud with the Juling Pavilion.
But this is nothing. As long as we join the Wubu Division, we can naturally resolve these problems.
Wang Yao had nothing to say. These were all things he did casually, and he didn't expect any results in the future.
Yan Wu brought Wang Yao to the Tongning government office and took away two thousand-mile horses. The government office stables also housed many horses from the Wubu Division, which Wang Yao had not expected.
Without much farewell, and without having time to visit Deacon He, Wang Yao followed Yan Wu out of the city.
Riding on the Thousand Mile Horse used exclusively by the police, Wang Yao stroked the horse's back and felt something strange. The horse's back was wider than any other horse he had ever ridden.
It was the first time he felt that a horse could run so fast, and the horse's back was comfortable without a saddle and not bumpy.
Yan Wu also said proudly, "It's comfortable, right? This is a variety specially selected by our Wubu Division from outside the region. After years of cultivation, it was promoted internally."
Wang Yao said nonchalantly, "Hybrid horse? I thought so."
Yan Wu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. What kind of person is this? Has a country bumpkin ever seen such a good horse?
Wang Yao just happened to have never seen a horse with such a wide back, but he had seen many better horses.
There are a lot of demon horses and dragon horses in the Tianyuan world. There are even ready-made horses with dragon bloodlines in the Jiandao Division, but he has never ridden one.
Yan Wu then pointed at her sword and said, "The treatment in our Wubu Division is also very good. We receive a monthly salary of 100 taels of silver, and we have as many energy-recovering and healing pills as we want.
Do you see the knife on my waist? It is made of meteorite iron from outer space and crafted by royal craftsmen."
Wang Yao nodded. Civil servants are great. They have everything they need.
Seeing that Wang Yao didn't react at all, Yan Wu was so angry that she spurred her horse forward, and Wang Yao followed her inexplicably.
An hour later, in Mingyuan County, a small town more than seventy miles away, Yan Wu brought Wang Yao to the county government office.
A corpse covered with a white cloth was placed in an empty and simple room, which seemed dark and damp even during the day.
"Brother Jian, how is it? Have you found out anything?" Yan Wu asked a man who was also wearing a police officer's uniform.
The man's name was Jian Chang. He had a serious face and spoke clearly and forcefully.
"After the coroner's and my examination, Mr. Hong did die from a knife wound, and the method used by Kuang Dao Gu Ying is consistent." Jian Chang said as he lifted the white cloth.
It was the old man Wang Yao had met on the mountain road that day. There was a sharp wound between his eyebrows that went deep into his head.
Jian Chang added, "The innocent civilians in Zhaojiabao also died in this way. Every dead person had a knife scar between their eyebrows."
Wang Yao went forward to check Hong Jiu's body. It was obvious that he had not been dead for long, and the five elements of energy still remained in his body.
"Have you ever investigated why Gu Ying wanted to kill innocent people? He even killed a good guy like Hong Jiu. Besides, how did he beat Hong Jiu?" Wang Yao asked his questions to the two of them.
"Where do you think the name Kuang Dao comes from? It's because he is so arrogant and kills people like crazy." Jian Chang was very angry because Hong Jiu did have a good reputation in the martial arts world.
Wang Yao nodded and asked Yan Wu, who had been checking the wounds on the corpse without saying anything.
"Did Gu Ying kill any innocent people before Zhaojiabao?"
Yan Wu thought for a while, and looked at Wang Yao in disbelief: "Indeed, no, those who were killed were enemies or villains. Are you saying that Gu Ying is not the murderer?"
Jian Chang stared at Wang Yao intently and said, "All the evidence shows that he is the one. Bian Jiu, you must be responsible for your words."
Wang Yao was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Jian Chang meant, as if he had already made up his mind.
Yan Wu said softly, "Brother Jian hates warriors who kill innocent people the most. He joined the Wubu Division to enforce justice, not to mention that Old Man Hong has done him a favor.
Over a thousand lives were lost in Zhaojiabao, and he was under great pressure. It took him a long time to find out that Hong Jiu was pursuing Gu Ying, and now the evidence is right in front of him.
Wang Yao expressed his understanding, but he still said firmly: "I don't know about Zhaojiabao, but there is definitely something fishy about Hong Jiu's death. He was poisoned."
Yan Wu and Jian Chang exchanged a glance and asked, "How do you determine this? We've verified it using various methods, and there's no sign of the poison taking effect."
"Don't worry about how I judge it. I don't know if it's poison or not. Anyway, it's a strange thing inside him." Wang Yao pointed at Hong Jiu's head.
"Yan Wu, you have more contact with him. Can you trust him? I really don't want to damage Mr. Hong's body." Jian Chang looked at Yan Wu very seriously and asked.
Yan Wu glanced at Wang Yao with her heroic eyes. Wang Yao was very calm and looked at her with clear eyes.
"Brother Jian, I know you are eager to arrest someone, but you can't wrongly accuse a good person. Just open his skull." Yan Wu said to Jian Chang seriously.
Jian Chang was also very decisive. He nodded, turned around and went out to call the coroner.
The coroner brought a box, took out various knives and hammers from it, and started knocking on Hong Jiu's crown.
After such an unbearable scene, even though Wang Yao was a veteran, he had to turn his head away.
However, just as Hong Jiu's head was lifted up, a white object flew towards the unprepared Wang Yao.
"Be careful!" The blade flashed, and Yan Wu drew her blade to chop off the strange thing that flew out of her head.
Wang Yao came to his senses and found a white worm under his feet broken into two pieces. Even so, it was still jumping around, trying to rub against Wang Yao.
"Brain parasite." Jian Chang picked up the tweezers and grabbed the bug, saying seriously.
