"Does the forensic doctor have any clues?" Qiao Xinyi's voice was hoarse from crying. She sat there, picking her fingers with both hands, feeling a little restless.
There is a saying that goes "Cao Cao Cao is the best".
Medical examiner Jiang came in at the right moment and answered casually, "I have a clue, I have a clue. I know this matter is urgent, so I came here to tell you the clues I have for now."
"The man was first hit in the back of the head and then thrown into the lake. Judging from the skull damage, the murderer only hit him three times, no more than four times. The deceased showed no signs of resistance. He must have been knocked unconscious by one blow, and then killed by another blow. I think the murderer is a young and strong adult male who has the strength to do this."
"We found undigested chocolate biscuits in the deceased's stomach. Judging from the digestion rate, the deceased had eaten them within half an hour before his death."
"We can probably find some pasta and goose meat in the deceased's gastric fluid. These two are relatively easy to distinguish. The remaining ones will take time. By the way, judging by the degree of digestion, the goose meat should have been eaten for dinner last night."
"Noodles should be the breakfast in the guesthouse. Generally, there will be steamed buns in the guesthouse." Li Jun said.
"Goose meat?" Qiao Xinyi thought for a moment, "I've never seen goose meat in any of the state-owned restaurants in our provincial capital."
After saying that, Qiao Xinyi turned to look at Fu Qingshan and said, "We have to go look for Brother Zeng. I remember seeing geese in their yard a while ago, and they mentioned that they brought them back from the village."
"Then let's split into two groups. Qingshan, you and Xinyi will go find Brother Zeng whom you know, and we will focus on investigating any private restaurants that have been cooking goose meat in the past two days." Li Jun said.
After saying that, everyone thanked Forensic Doctor Jiang and they hurried out the door.
When Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingshan went to Zengge's house, Zengge had just returned on his bicycle with a piece of paper in his hand.
Seeing Qiao Xinyi, Zeng Ge smiled and said, "Your eldest brother came to see me just now. Maybe he saw that I was not around, so he left me a note saying that he had something urgent to talk to me about."
Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingshan drove by and saw the two fat geese tied to the back seat of Zeng Ge's bicycle.
"Brother Zeng, can I ask if you sell this goose to a small private restaurant?" Qiao Xinyi asked directly.
If someone else asked Zeng Ge this question, he would definitely not say it, but he had dealt with Qiao Xinyi several times and had traded with Qiao Xinyi, so he answered Qiao Xinyi directly.
"Yes, there is an uncle who is very good at making braised goose. Everyone calls him Uncle Goose because of his good skills.
His small restaurant specializes in goose meat, but goose is harder to buy than chicken and duck, so he only serves regular customers. If you are not lucky enough, you have to make an order in advance to eat it. Sometimes goose is not available, and you may even have to make an order ten days or half a month in advance to taste the braised goose. "Brother Zeng said.
"Can you take us to meet the boss now?" Qiao Xinyi asked hurriedly, "This matter is very important to us, it's urgent."
When Brother Zeng heard this, he lifted his bicycle and went in. "It just so happens that I also need to go there to deliver goods. Since you are in a hurry, I will put the geese in a sack and put them on your bike. Then I will go with you and show you the way."
As Brother Zeng spoke, he went to pick up the sacks drying in the yard. Bags like these are good things. After using them once, they will be washed and put away for further use.
He moved quickly, stuffing the two tightly tied fat geese into the sack and quickly got into the car driven by Fu Qingshan.
Brother Zeng was a smooth-talking man. He would never ask questions that he shouldn't ask. After getting in the car, he didn't ask any more questions. He just gave Fu Qingshan directions quickly.
The small private restaurant selling braised goose was a little far from Zeng's home, and it took half an hour to drive there.
It was also a coincidence that when the car stopped, Qiao Yunsong happened to be coming here with three other friends.
"Sister Xinyi, sister." Qiao Yunsong stood at the door waiting for Qiao Xinyi and the others to get in the car. Later, he saw Brother Zeng and greeted him, "I went to look for Brother Zeng this afternoon, but you were not there. I will take my friend to look for you first."
More and more people followed Qiao Yunsong to work. Everyone lived in scattered places, and before working for Qiao Yunsong, they were people wandering around the streets and alleys, so they knew where there were private restaurants.
Qiao Yunsong collected the information from his brothers, and then found a few people who were good at talking to follow him to search one house after another. They happened to be looking for this place at this moment, and did not expect to meet Qiao Xinyi by chance.
Zeng Ge went to knock on the door, and Qiao Yunsong walked up to Qiao Xinyi and asked if there were any new clues.
Qiao Yunsong frowned slightly when he heard Qiao Xinyi say that Zheng Youliang had eaten chocolate biscuits and goose meat before his death.
The person who came to open the door was a middle-aged man with a cane. Seeing so many people behind Brother Zeng, he was so scared that he didn't dare to open the door.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle Goose. They are all my friends. They have something to ask you." Brother Zeng patted his chest and said, "I promise you, they are not here to cause trouble for you."
With Zeng Ge's guarantee, the man opened the door with a cautious look and let everyone in.
The courtyard is not big, but it is kept clean.
Uncle Goose first took the two big fat geese from Brother Zeng and put them in the corner, then reminded Brother Zeng to close the yard door. Then he looked at Qiao Xinyi, Fu Qingshan and the others and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Fu Qingshan directly handed over Zheng Youliang's photo and asked, "Excuse me, did this person eat at your place last night?"
Uncle Goose leaned over to take a look, then shook his head.
"No." Uncle Goose said, "Goose meat is not cheap. Those who can come to my place to eat goose meat are willing to spend money. He looks like a poor man who is unwilling to spend money."
"Uncle Goose, is it possible that he came with his friend, for example, his friend was treating us?" Brother Zeng asked.
Uncle Goose shook his head again, "I had two tables of guests here last night. I definitely remember whether they came or not. I definitely haven't seen the person in the photo."
"Didn't I send you three geese yesterday morning? I saw that there were no geese left in your yard, Uncle Goose. How come there were two tables of guests yesterday?" Brother Zeng asked, "The geese are so fat, one table of guests can't eat two, right?"
"There was another roasted goose that the guests took away and didn't eat here," said Uncle Goose.
After Fu Qingshan came in, he looked around the yard calmly. When Uncle Goose was talking, he walked a few meters away, and finally stopped at a room to the north.
"Uncle Goose, is there wine in this room?" Fu Qingshan smelled the wine.
"It's the rice wine I brewed myself. When guests come here to eat goose meat, they always order half a pound." Uncle Goose looked at Fu Qingshan's military uniform and had to explain one more sentence.
"Comrade PLA, you can see that I am on crutches now. I fell and injured myself on the way to work a few days ago. I am now disabled and the factory doesn't want me anymore.
There are many children in my family, and the money my wife earns from work is not enough for the family. The children can't even afford to go to school, so I can only do odd jobs and find other ways to supplement the family income. If it weren't for the pressure of life, no one would want to do these things secretly. ”
