Vol 5 Chapter 46: two skeletons
"Found it—" he yelled up, "I accidentally stepped on—"
King Quan at Jingkou was so happy that he couldn't help scolding his mother after Zhao Cheng's last sentence, and turned his head and shouted: "Wu Guang—I found it—come for an autopsy—"
Immediately ran into Wu Guang from outside the door.
These eight doors often go to various places to investigate cases, and one job is not enough. Here in Dongcheng, a corpse was found dismembered, and in Xicheng, another was poisoned. Even if Wu Zuo had scuds, he would not be able to make an on-site inspection in time. So everyone in the eight doors also has multiple roles. Among the team led by Fu Mingrui, at least four of them will have their first on-site inspection.
Everyone first pulled Zhao Cheng up.
Wu Guang stepped forward and seriously asked Zhao Cheng about the following situation: "What's going on next?"
Zhao Cheng showed apologetic expression on his face: "The bones were buried under the dung, and the dung is so thick." Zhao Cheng gestured, "I was careless, I still walked close to the side, but I didn't expect that the thigh bone was right there. On the side, I... accidentally stepped on it and broke it."
Wu Guang nodded after listening, it is common for the scene to be destroyed. Many cases are newcomers. But the old man will inevitably stumble sometimes.
The officers and soldiers brought the hanging basket from the outside, and covered it with blue and clean white cloth. On the other side, someone also took the box where the bones were placed and placed them carefully beside the dry well.
Wu Guang checked his tool bag and gloves, and looked at Zhao Cheng: "Go and report to your lord." Wu Guang frowned slightly, "There are only a pile of bones left. It's hard to say if it was murder. Bring it up first and then talk. "
"I know." Zhao Cheng nodded, and immediately reported to Fu Mingrui.
Why the longer the time, the harder it is to solve the case? Because there are fewer and fewer traces left on the corpse, especially only a pile of bones.
If there is a wound on the white bone, one can judge the year of the wound and what caused it according to the new and old colors of the wound. But if the knife had pierced the internal organs before, but hadn't passed through the bones, naturally there would be no scars on the bones.
Moreover, even if there is an injury, it is unclear whether it was caused by oneself or someone else.
If it weren't for Yi Jixuan, who is not afraid of the shadowy house, and Fu Mingrui, who loves to solve puzzles, this pair of bones would be hard to see the light of day.
The maid had already brought Fu Mingrui and the others hot tea again, and brought some pastries this time.
Dawn dawned slightly in the east, and the sky was already glowing white.
Fu Mingrui was still staring at the courtyard outside the door, and suddenly, Zhao Cheng ran over: "My lord! I found it! I found it!"
Fu Mingrui immediately took the case to stand up, with great joy on his face: "Okay! Where are the bones?!"
"Wu Guang is taking it." Zhao Cheng showed embarrassment, "When the subordinate found it...accidentally stepped on and broke a leg bone of the deceased."
Fu Mingsu and Yi Jixuan were slightly surprised, and Fu Mingrui immediately scolded: "How did you do it!"
Zhao Cheng immediately tossed the hem of his clothes and knelt down on one knee: "This subordinate has neglected his duty! I would like to be punished by the lord!" With a flick of his hem, the dung stained on the hem of his clothes was immediately thrown into the air.
Immediately, an indescribable subtle smell permeated the entire study room.
Fu Mingsu immediately covered his nose: "What's the smell?"
"Why so strange?" Yi Jixuan also covered his nose and mouth.
Zhao Cheng could only explain: "The bones were buried under the dung, so the subordinates were covered with dung."
Immediately, the faces of Fu Mingsu and Yi Jixuan turned green, and their round eyes rushed out of the study room, taking a quick breath of the fresh cinnamon in the morning.
On the contrary, Fu Mingrui calmed down and looked surprised: "Did you find the bones in the cesspit?"
"No, my lord, it's a dry well. The corpses should have been thrown first, and then the dirt was poured in. The dirt dries up after decades and turns into dung, which is so thick." Zhao Cheng gestured earnestly again, " So there should be a lot of dirt that was poured in that year, at least for a month or two." Zhao Cheng estimated that this Huang Ye is a big family, and there should be several toilets every day.
Fu Mingrui couldn't help being surprised, how much hatred is this, to dump feces and dirt on a person's body after death?
Hei Yan crouched on a laurel tree outside the study, her cat's tail swayed, her blue eyes flashed, and the divine seal appeared between her brows.
The morning was cold and misty.
Lian Youyou led Lu Jingting out, Wuxin was already standing at the door of the Nine Gates.
Lian Youyou looked at him with a smile: "You came quickly."
Wuxin was still humble and polite, and slowly lowered her body, it was actually a great gift to Lian Youyou first.
Lian Youyou raised her eyebrows and the corners of her lips, this Wuxin was a little interesting.
Wuxin got up after performing the salute, and saluted Lian Youyou again: "As soon as this Lu Jingting's soul appeared, I was aware of it, so I didn't dare to neglect, so I came here quickly. Thank you God for giving me the bowl last time."
"Has Pluto woke up?" Lian Youyou asked casually.
Wuxin respectfully replied: "No, Master Di Ling is still in charge of the Nether Realm. Master Di Ling asked me to speak. The Nether Realm is busy, and the Hades is dormant again. He needs to protect the Hades, and he has to act as an agent for the Nether Realm affairs, so he cannot come to see the goddess. My lord, please forgive me, Goddess. Here is a gift he entrusted Xiaochai to bring." Wu Xin handed a gift box to Lian Youyou.
Lu Jingting stood quietly at the side, as if his soul had been hollowed out, his eyes were empty and lifeless, no matter what happened around him, he didn't know.
Lian Youyou took the gift box from Wuxin, opened it, and there was a divine light inside, a magic pill.
Lian Youyou smiled, and threw the lid of the box to see Wuxin: "Go back and tell Di Ting, I'll leave after I come down to play for a while, let him do his own work, and leave me alone."
"Yes." Wuxin raised her face respectfully to look at Lian Youyou, and did not leave.
Lian Youyou's face darkened: "What are you looking at, if you want to chat, finish your work before coming back!"
Wuxin lowered his face, and saluted honestly: "Yes. Xiaocha will take Lu Jingting away." The black iron rod in his hand hit the ground, and the chain came out from the front of the rod, encircling Lu Jingting's body.
Lu Jingting still didn't respond.
Wuxin looked at Lu Jingting: "This is heart-to-heart, but suitable to be a ghost messenger." After Wuxin said, she turned and pulled Lu Jingting to slowly disappear into the long morning mist, and the clang of the chain could still be faintly heard .
"I found a pair of skeletons." A smoky black flame drifted across Lian Youyou's face and surrounded her, just like the black tail of a cloud fluttering around Lian Youyou in the morning mist.
Lian Youyou glanced at him, his mouth turned into a silver hook like the moon: "Are you having fun here?"
Lian Youyou looked at him for a while, then looked away: "I only found one pair? There are two pairs."
Hei Yan flew around her in a circle: "There is another pair? Then they are really blind."
Lian Youyou rolled his eyes at him: "They are blind and you are not blind, go and help them find out." After Lian Youyou finished speaking, she turned around and floated away, her Qingyi figure showing a wild tug in the faint morning light.
