Chapter 404 Taihe Academy
Anping Town attached great importance to Taihe Academy and specially asked people to inspect the new site.
Most academies are built in green mountains and forests. Strolling along the mountain paths and feeling the tranquility and serenity of the mountains seems to help you read more calmly.
Therefore, there is also a mountain behind the new Taihe Academy. Although it is not as majestic, it is elegant and beautiful.
Before daybreak, there are often studious students going up the mountain to review their lessons. The sound of reading aloud echoes in the empty paths, always awakening the vitality of the forest.
The body was found in the mountains.
There was a riot in the academy last night, and no one dared to go to the back mountain today.
The constables from the government office found the body while searching in the mountains.
Su Yan followed Captain Zhao and hurried to the back mountain.
The sun was high at that time, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of her forehead. She wiped it away casually as usual. Captain Zhao couldn't help but mutter a few words, "Su girl, you said that you are so focused on being a coroner that you have already scared away many pedantic men. Now you don't care about your image at all. How are you going to get married in the future?"
In Captain Zhao's mind, Su Yan's appearance was not much worse than those young ladies in the boudoir. She was seventeen or eighteen years old and still hadn't gotten married. Captain Zhao was worried about her.
Su Yan didn't care much, "I have important things to do, so I can't get married."
"Not getting married? How can that be?" Captain Zhao didn't understand. "How can I not get married? When I was your age, I already had my own little treasure! By the way, before your parents got into trouble, your family rescued a boy. I remember how handsome that boy was..."
Captain Zhao was often injured while on duty. Sometimes the pain was unbearable, so he went to Su Mao for help and learned some past stories of the Su family.
Su Yan thought of the three charred bodies in the ruins and was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, Captain Zhao also sighed, "I told your father at the time that you wouldn't have to worry about your marriage in the future. Who knew... Forget it, I'll find you a better one later."
Although Su Yan has always kept the search for the real murderer in mind, she is not someone who will be controlled by her inner demons. Although she is sad when thinking about the past, she will not dwell on it too much.
She smiled casually, "I really don't want to get married. It's enough for me to do my job well now. Of course, it would be even better if I could eat the noodles with gravy made by my sister-in-law. Especially the braised meat, it's really unique..."
Captain Zhao was very disgusted and said, "Don't try to blackmail me just after I received the money."
Pork is not cheap!
Su Yan flattered: "How could that be? I miss you and sister-in-law. I always want to see you. I miss your little treasure too!"
Captain Zhao was about to look down on Su Yan when he saw her looking at him with a smile.
The next moment, Su Yan was heard thinking in his heart, "Brother Zhao has a floral scent on his body, similar to the wild flowers in Luofeng Mountain. He just received silver recently. Could it be that he is hiding money from his sister-in-law again..."
Captain Zhao: "Eat! Let's eat at my house tonight!"
Su Yan nodded repeatedly.
She really is good at pleasing people!
The two walked for about twenty minutes and finally arrived at the place.
The body was dumped on an inconspicuous hillside and was now surrounded by the police.
Captain Zhao went forward to check the situation, and Su Yan stood on tiptoe to look behind. If she could find the body, it would be her turn to take the stage.
But before Su Yan could see anything, she heard voices talking behind her. She turned around and saw several men in fancy clothes leading a group of people walking up the mountain.
Captain Zhao also heard the voices. His expression changed and he strode over to greet them. "County Magistrate Qin, you are here."
Magistrate Qin and the dean and supervisor of Taihe Academy were all there, followed by several gentlemen from the academy.
Although County Magistrate Qin was wearing fancy clothes, he had a big belly and kind eyes, and looked quite humble.
Hall Master Cheng Wenshan gave everything for Anping Town and was highly respected. Even County Magistrate Qin treated him with great respect.
As for the Dean Yu Tiancai, he is just over thirty years old and is Cheng Wenshan’s most capable subordinate.
Further on, there are... Chu Feng and Qin Wanyue.
Chu Feng was born with delicate features, as clear and elegant as the cold moon in winter. He was polite and well-mannered and easy-going.
Qin Wanyue has a slim figure and beautiful eyes and eyebrows, and the two of them look very well matched when standing together.
Somehow, Su Yan was just a minor character, but Qin Wanyue was the first one to notice her.
She was leaning against a tree, still wearing the same outfit as before, and there was even some ash on her cheeks.
But the soft sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches and onto her snow-white cheeks was very eye-catching.
Qin Wanyue felt uncomfortable and muttered, "How can a woman be a coroner? It's terrible to play with corpses every day..."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Feng for approval, but as soon as she looked over, she saw Chu Feng slightly raising his head, with a deep smile in his eyes, looking at Su Yan.
Qin Wanyue: “…”
And he said that there is nothing wrong with the two of them!
Qin Wanyue had completely forgotten the fear of a murder and was about to settle the score with Su Yan when she saw her gaze slowly drifting over, without even stopping on Chu Feng and Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue: “…”
Don't take them seriously!
Since the county magistrate was present, matters at the scene had to be handled by him, so Captain Zhao did not say much.
County Magistrate Qin expressed his determination to solve the case earnestly, and gave a speech about his dedication and sacrifice for the people and the country, and then talked about the case again, "This case is man-made, Wenshan does not need to worry. I do not believe in ghosts and monsters. I want to see who left Mr. Yin here."
As he spoke, County Magistrate Qin walked towards the corpse with his head held high and his chest puffed out.
Su Yan also looked inside, but the distance was too far and there were many constables nearby, so she couldn't see anything.
However, County Magistrate Qin didn't take many steps.
He probably saw the corpse, his face froze, and he turned to look at Captain Zhao, "Well, professionals should do professional things. The coroner in our yamen..."
"Here she comes," Captain Zhao said, "Xiao Su is here."
County Magistrate Qin looked around but couldn't recognize who was Xiao Su.
Su Yan stepped forward and saluted, "County Magistrate Qin."
"Are you a coroner?" County Magistrate Qin showed a surprised expression, but then hurriedly put it away. "It's great that a woman can be so courageous. I've always thought you were very capable!"
Captain Zhao: “…”
You clearly don’t remember her!
Su Yan bowed slightly to show her humility, "Thank you for the compliment, County Magistrate Qin. I will do my best."
After he finished speaking, Su Yan was eager to see the corpse.
Before he could even walk over, Qin Wanyue muttered in dissatisfaction: "It's just a coroner, what's so great about it, I just don't want to do it. Chu Feng, don't you agree?"
Chu Fengsong looked at Su Yan in astonishment, thinking of Yin Yuan's reminder - it was his blessing that the county magistrate's daughter was interested in him.
Chu Feng hesitated and said, "Miss, you are joking. With your status, how can you be a coroner?"
Su Yan looked at Chu Feng in surprise, as if he didn't recognize him.
Qin Wanyue said, "It has nothing to do with my identity. What I mean is that I am much more capable. As long as I want, there is nothing I can't do."
After that, she lifted her skirt and walked towards the hillside, "Isn't it just playing with the corpse? I don't believe it. How difficult is it?"
Qin Wanyue held her head high, snorted softly, walked past Su Yan's shoulder without looking away, and bumped into her lightly.
County Magistrate Qin hurried to stop him, "You've already made a scene by following me. Go home! This is a murder case, not a joke!"
Unfortunately, he was a little slow and Qin Wanyue had already pulled aside the two constables and walked over.
Screams instantly pierced the forest. Several birds flapped their wings in fear. Qin Wanyue screamed miserably, "No head! He has no head!"
