Chapter 168: Tragic Death
Chapter 168
Governor Wu said, "This morning, the Yu Mansion sent someone to report the case, saying that the body of Yu Erniang was found at the side door, and its condition was unbearable, no one dared to collect the body, and now it is still at the back door, Lord Cui wants to go and see?"
Cui Ning paused for a moment before saying, "Okay." ”
"Master Cui must be mentally prepared. Governor Wu reminded again.
"Thank you for reminding me, the lower officials will pay attention. Cui Ning said.
Wu Zhifu took her to the military service.
The west gate of Yu's mansion is very close to the garden, it is the beginning of spring, the tender willows and red flowers in the courtyard are very lively, and all kinds of fresh breath lingering at the end of the nose, all of which are full of vitality, but Cui Ning followed the small lake in the garden and smelled a strong bloody smell.
Cui Ning secretly thought, his blood is surging, I'm afraid that the blood is gone, right?
"My lord, this is it. The soldier bowed.
There is a cluster of densely pressed spring flowers at the side door, and the sun is shining, a golden one, and the blood splashed on it is particularly dazzling.
The work had been checked, and he stood on the side with his head down, and the rest of the Yu Mansion were all sitting in the gazebo not far away with pale faces.
Cui Ning's appearance attracted everyone's attention.
Cui Ning noticed those gazes, saluted Yu Shangshu and Mrs. Yu from a distance, and then walked towards the corpse.
When I first arrived at the Spring Flower, I couldn't see the corpse, I could only see sporadic bloodstains, Cui Ning took a closer look, only to find that the corpse was stuffed into the flowers, and the roots of the Spring Festival Flower were in a mess, with blood and intestines everywhere.
The sunlight leaked, and Yu Zhiru's pretty little face was half covered by intestines. Only a wide apricot eye was revealed, which had long been dimmed, but it was not difficult to see the horror before death.
"Can you find out the cause of death?" Cui Ning frowned and looked at Qi Zuo.
He replied respectfully, "Back to adults, these injuries are the cause of the death of the Yu family's lady. ”
"So she watched her organs being pulled out?" Cui Ning originally thought that Yu Zhiru's body was dismembered after death, but did it turn out to be split alive? With such intense pain, why didn't she make any sound?
Cui Ning thought for a moment, and then asked the servant. "Can you tell if she took something like hemp boiling powder before she died?"
"This. The subordinates can't see it. However, Yu Niangzi was gagged before she died, and she also had bruises on her neck, and her lower body was so damaged that she couldn't tell if she had been violated. "I bowed even more.
Cui Ning saw that the government soldier next to him still had a gown in his hand. And he took it and put it on. Lean in close to the corpse to take a closer look.
She'd seen a scene 10,000 times more terrifying. The feeling of flesh and blood, a living person dying in front of you, is far more terrifying than looking at a corpse. Therefore, although I feel uncomfortable, it is still within the tolerable range.
Fang only took a rough look, and when he got inside, Cui Ning saw clearly that Yu Zhiru's face really had a slight bruise, it seemed that he was tied to the mouth and tongue, and the chest that had just developed some shapes was scratched by someone with a sharp weapon, and the lower body was damaged as he said, and there was a pool of flesh and blood between his legs, if it were not supported by a pelvic bone, I am afraid that the entire lower body would be split.
Yu Zhiru's original slender jade fingers were also blurred with flesh and blood, and the nails were broken and broken, and they were turned over, and there was a lot of mud on them.
What's going on?
Looking at the injuries on the fingers, it should be caused by grasping the ground by yourself, and the force used is not small. But this doesn't make sense, if Yu Zhiru can move her hands and feet, her normal reaction is to fight with the person who hurt her, how can she grab the ground?
Cui Ning then checked Yu Zhiru's wrist, although the flesh and blood were blurred, he could still see that the strangulation marks on it had seen the bones.
Cui Ning looked around, turned around and said, ", what is the thing on her wrist that she was strangled?"
"It's hemp rope. "Excuse me.
Cui Ning came out from under the flower tree, "Who found the body first, why is there no rope here?"
"It's from the Yu Mansion. "Governor Wu has also arrived here.
Cui Ning said, "Lord Wu, I'll ask you to re-examine the corpse." ”
Governor Wu glanced at Cheng Zuo, and asked Cui Ning again, "What's the matter?"
Yu Niangzi's hands were tied, the scars of the struggle were deep and visible, and her fingers were even broken and fell off because of her excessive grip on the ground, but she couldn't find the rope at the scene, and she couldn't find the ground that she had scratched with her fingers. Cui Ning saw that Governor Wu listened carefully and was not perfunctory, so he paused for a moment and continued, "If as the prefect said, these wounds of Yu Erniang were caused before her death, then they must have been caused here, and there is only one explanation for those omissions before, Yu Niangzi must have been tortured elsewhere, and the murderer suddenly changed places for some reason." ”
He knelt on the ground with a puff, "The big man spares his life, the little master is sick in bed, and the little one has an autopsy for the first time." ”
Governor Wu said angrily, "Go back and call your master! Tell him to climb and climb over to the official!"
Not everyone who is an official is good at prison, this is the case with Governor Wu, he usually goes to the scene of the crime mainly for the town, he knows his shortcomings, and his subordinates have accepted a lot of people who are good at this way, and when they report the situation of the inspection, he will interrogate and judge the case.
There is an experienced servant under the Wu Governor's Mansion, but he is addicted to alcohol, and when he gets up in the morning, he first has a large jar of wine, and sometimes he is not in good health, and he can't bear the strength of the wine, and it is common for him to get drunk directly, but the government does not need someone to perform an autopsy every day, so there has been no mistake.
"The people in the Yu Mansion have also been interrogated, and the confessions are all here. "Governor Wu ordered someone to take the confession directly to Cui Ning, "If Master Cui feels that something is wrong, he can re-inquire with the official." ”
Cui Ning looked at the square face of Governor Wu's square face, and faintly felt that he was in trouble, but since he had already intervened, he had to go on hard, "Okay." ”
Governor Wu's expression was slightly relaxed, "Master Cui will go there first to see the confession, and the official will go elsewhere to check." ”
Cui Ning glanced at the place he pointed, there was a stone table and stone bench under the big tree that the two of them were hugging, it was quiet and not far from the scene, so he nodded and said, "Lord Wu has worked hard." ”
"It's just the officer's duty. Wu Zhifu said.
Cui Ning watched him leave, took the confession and sat down to watch it carefully. Although Wu Zhifu is not good at solving cases, he has been an official for so many years, and he often needs to deal with these things, and he is also half an expert, and the confessions sorted out in a short period of time are very detailed, and almost everyone who may be involved in the case has been interrogated, and the questions asked are all on the point.
Cui Ning thought while watching, and his index finger unconsciously tapped lightly on the table.
Cui ...... My lord. A female voice called not far away.
Cui Ning was so engrossed that he didn't hear anyone approaching. When she heard the voice, she looked up and saw Mrs. Yu, Yu Ying, and Yu Zhixin, and it was Mrs. Yu who was talking to her. (To be continued......)
