Chapter Eighty-Seven: Identification
Although Hua Liyue also likes to drink, she rarely gets drunk, because she can always seal the cup in time when the wine is drunk. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info So she also doesn't like drunkards who don't have self-control and get drunk all day long.
Xiao Fengnan patted the wine gourd and said with a smile: "It's not wine, it's all bitter medicinal juice." Since I promised you that you would not get drunk again, you will naturally be able to talk!"
Hua Lianyue sneered and said, "Use the wine gourd to fill the medicinal juice, you are also a wonderful person." ”
Huo Lianjue had already gotten out of the carriage, and when he saw Hua Lianyue talking and laughing with a strange man, a trace of displeasure flashed in his heart inexplicably.
He didn't even call her a moon girl, why did this man with a face call so intimate.
Huo Lianjue deliberately coughed lightly, raised his voice and reminded: "Yue'er, if you have anything to say later, it's important to come over and investigate the case first!"
This sudden "Yue'er" made Hua Lianyue's whole body tighten, and goosebumps came out. She shook off the goosebumps that had fallen to the ground, left Xiao Fengnan, and obediently followed behind him.
Because of Yin Che's timely intervention, the crime scene was well protected, and there were not many footprints left in the white and fluffy snow.
Except for Yin Che and Xiao Fengnan, the rest of the footprints were left by the female corpse before she died. Because the female corpse did not wear shoes on her feet, it was easy to distinguish from others. Other than that, there was no footprint left by a fourth man. It was also thanks to the snow that stopped last night that her footprints would be preserved intact.
Hua Lianyue walked a few steps on the chaotic footprints of the female corpse, and then scratched her head and said puzzledly: "What a messy step, she has been going around in circles all the time, is she dancing? There are also those clothes scattered in place, as if she threw them out casually during the dance." ”
Everyone on the sidelines, including Yin Che and Huo Lianjue, shivered in unison.
Just imagine, on a snowy night, in the lonely mountains, a beautiful woman wearing only a thin middle coat dances and undresses in this dark fragrance floating in the plum forest.
Dancing and dressing, the girl leaned under the plum tree and exhaled her last breath with a smile.
No matter how you think about it, this scene feels extremely weird.
The onlookers began to feel uneasy, and a young woman wearing a feather shawl and holding a small copper auspicious cloud crane carved hand stove in her hand whispered to the people next to her: "Could it be that this woman is evil and will die here inexplicably?"
"Don't scare me, it's Fahua Temple across the street. The wise master has profound Dharma, and where evil things dare to do it under his nose. The answer was a tall, thin man in brocade.
"Who knows! Maybe the plum tree here has become a fine and wants to find a beautiful lady to be a stand-in!" A middle-aged man dressed in a thick gray squirrel chimney interjected.
More and more suspenseful speculations are secretly circulating in the crowd!
"I'm a little scared, let's stop looking at it and let's go!" said a timid round-faced girl, covering her eyes with a handkerchief to her family.
"Let's go, let's go! ”
So some people began to chim. The carriages began to turn around and prepare to leave.
"Wait!" Hua Lianyue stopped in front of everyone, and said in a good voice: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, help identify it, and see if anyone knows this woman? ”
She found that the skin of the female corpse was delicate and soft, and the texture of the scattered middle clothes was soft and light, which was an excellent flower brocade. The pattern above is also a complex and delicate folded branch phalaenopsis pattern, which is very valuable at a glance.
These details show that the identity of this female corpse before her death should be either rich or expensive, and most of these people in front of her are wealthy squires around Meiling County, maybe some of them will recognize the identity of this female corpse.
"I still have to see a dead man, so I won't go!" Immediately, there was a woman's disgraced scream. It's okay to let them watch the excitement from a distance, but if they want to take a closer look, they must be scared to death.
"Gone, gone!" There are also people who are shouting at their own drivers. It's one thing to watch the excitement, no one wants to get into trouble, it's still such an unlucky thing.
Yin Che's face was gloomy, and his pretty face was as cold and ruthless as frost. Seeing that she heard her and said coldly: "Whoever dares to leave without permission, don't blame me for inviting the brothers of the six doors to ask for advice next time." ”
The name of the Six Gates is not qualified enough to suppress the Beijing officials, and it is more than enough to scare these local squires.
Huo Lianjue also raised his eyebrows and looked at everyone, his slightly confused eyes and the corners of his lips were all showing his inner impatience.
The people who wanted to disperse hesitated! In any case, Huo Lianjue's identity as a county lord, coupled with the prestige of the six gates, could still make most people here jealous.
Finally, a middle-aged woman with a kind face recited the words of Amitabha Buddha and said, "It's also a poor person, just take a look! If you can really recognize a familiar lady or young lady, you should hurry up and deliver a message." ”
She was the first to get out of the carriage, holding the arm of her maid, and walked cautiously.
Yin Che lifted the stiff chin of the female corpse and brushed the hair from her face, completely exposing her gray face.
The woman recited Amitabha Buddha again, and she nervously tugged at her maid's arm with one hand, and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in the other, and looked over carefully. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, I look at the face very raw." ”
She said to her maid again: "Chunmei, you can also take a look." Chunmei mustered up the courage to take a closer look, and shook her head frequently, saying that she hadn't seen it and didn't know it.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether she was glad or disappointed. She said to Huo Lianjue very politely: "Lord Zhixian, I'm sorry, we can't help." ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in Hua Lianyue's eyes, but Yin Che and Huo Lianjue did not change their faces, and saw Huo Lianjue nodding and said, "Thank you, madam, you can go!"
With the person who took the lead, the people behind had fewer worries, so they also took turns to identify them one by one. It's a pity that after carefully looking at the face of the female corpse, everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know each other.
Everyone in the yamen will inevitably feel disappointed!
At this time, it was finally the turn of the round-faced girl and her family. I saw her tugging at the sleeves of her own parents and stepping forward tremblingly. The light in his eyes flickered around, and he never dared to put it on the female corpse's lifeless face.
It wasn't until her parents patted the back of her hand comfortingly that she mustered up the courage to cast her eyes on the female corpse's face. After seeing the appearance of the female corpse clearly, listen to her "Huh!" snorted. Hurriedly rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, and his face showed a touch of disbelief.
Hua Lianyue's spirit immediately perked up, and she hurriedly asked, "Does the girl know her?"
The round-faced girl shook her head and said honestly, "I don't know!"
Before the disappointment on Hua Lianyue's face was gone, she continued: "But I saw her in Fahua Temple a few days ago. ”
