Chapter 43: Clean Room
So let's start with what happens when a person is in the clean room. After Yan Zike finished eating and drinking, he took the handkerchief handed by Yan Qi and wiped his mouth, tugged into his arms casually, and walked out of the door with long legs.
This is about to begin! Qiao Lezi perked up, hurriedly followed out, and entered the clean room again.
"Go find a job. Yan Zike took him out again in one sentence, how could it take half an hour to get from the yamen to Cui's mansion, Qiao Lezi had to pull the young master Cui to ask if there was a stable woman in Cui's mansion, in ancient times, Wen Po would occasionally make a cameo appearance to give a woman an autopsy.
Master Cui said in his heart Who is okay to raise a stable woman at home, giving birth to children is invited outside in advance, his third aunt gave birth to Xiao Shi last year or went to a far place to invite a stable wife, there is really no one nearby, and it is estimated that it is not much faster than making a job. Thinking about it like this, he suddenly felt demonic in his heart again, pointed to Yan Qi who was standing expressionlessly over there, and said, "Yan Xiaoqi may be competent, and this is the clothes that this child wears for Miss He." β
Qiao Lezi was surprised: This fat girl is only twelve years old, and she is not afraid of such a miserable corpse? ! No matter how bold other little girls are, she still dares to do it! She still dares to make such a complicated act of dressing a dead corpse! Okay, awesome, she is really fat and has a wide heart!
Enough, does this have anything to do with fat? Yan Qi was speechless and was beckoned by Qiao Lezi to call over, Cui Xi followed lazily, and was about to enter the clean room together, but was stopped by Master Cui, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing in there, there will be an autopsy inside, take off your clothes and pull back and forth, is it good-looking?"
Pull back and forth...... Don't put this kind of word to describe slate barbecue here! Qiao Lezi heard it on the side, and couldn't help but have a full black line.
After all, only Yan Zike, Qiao Lezi and Yan Qi were left in the clean room, and the rest of the idlers were not allowed to enter.
"The clothes you put on the corpse?" Yan Zike squatted next to the corpse and raised his face to ask Yan Qi.
"Hmm. Yan Qi nodded.
"It's amazing. Swallow said.
"Aang. Yan Qi continued to nod.
"What about undressing the corpse?" asked Yan Zike.
"That's fine. "Yan Qidao.
"It's amazing. Swallow said.
"Aang. "Yan Qidao.
Qiao Lezi was already habitually speechless beside him, obviously very strict about a thing, how can he look like he came to eat slate barbecue by this uncle and nephew, can't you be serious in your life? Can't you get along with the corpse with a proper attitude? Lao Tzu is still hungry, okay! I can't even eat the cost of giving gifts!
In fact, it doesn't mean that men can't give women autopsies, but after all, it was an official who died, and Yan Zike and Qiao Lezi were not professionals, and Lord He was also outside the door, so he had to take into account the feelings of the deceased's family, so he had to be started by Yan Qi, and Yan Zike and Qiao Lezi stood with their backs for blind guidance.
"Have you taken it off?" Yan Zike asked.
"Take it off. "Yan Qidao.
"Check to see if there are any injuries on your body except for your abdomen. Swallow said.
"There are two abrasions on the left arm and three on the right leg, which must have been made by bamboo, and there are bamboo fragments stuck in the flesh. Yan Qi said after checking.
"Are there any other injuries?"
"No more. β
"Peel your hair and check your scalp for bruises, pinholes. β
"Nope. β
"Examine the eyes, nostrils, ear holes, and mouth for injuries or foreign bodies. β
"There was duckweed and snot in the nostrils and mouth. β
"Check the finger and toe seams for injuries and foreign bodies. β
"Nope. β
"Inspect the β‘β‘ and anus for injuries and foreign bodies. β
"Nope. β
"......" Qiao Lezi was shocked again, how wide is Yan Zike's neurotic heart?! Your niece is only twelve years old, okay! As a child, you teach her to fiddle with a dead corpse without fear of causing a psychological shadow to the child?! Who will teach a child to do these things as a girl?! Are you really not afraid that her father will come back from the border and shoot at you with a swallow crossbow?!
The most neurotic thing is actually this little fat man! Paralyzed, don't forget that you are only twelve years old! Don't do things that are not in line with your age! How can you not be afraid of an autopsy? How did you create such a calm and calm tone that is more than a corpse?! Do you dare to be paralyzed like a normal child, scared to cry and pee?!
Who's going to cure these two snake spirits?!
Qiao Lezi frantically brushed up and complained in his heart, Yan Qi had already redressed Miss He Er's corpse, and the test proved that Miss He Er had not suffered other attacks and injuries except for the fatal wound in her abdomen.
Qiao Lezi scratched his head and thought for a while: "Isn't this Miss He Er having a madness?" As far as I know, some people are born with this disease hidden in their bodies, but they will not attack in less than an extraordinary moment, and there is no warning when they attack. β
Yan Zike raised his head with his hands, not because he wanted to look at Qiao Lezi with his nostrils, but he was looking for something on the ceiling, and said while looking for it: "If you don't attack early or late, you just have a seizure when you go to the clean room, it's too coincidental, one of them; Bamboo is inserted in the pond, it is not a common thing, this is the second coincidence; the bamboo is sharpened, and it can be inserted into the person who jumps in the pool, this is the third coincidence." There are so many coincidences that happen on one thing that I'd rather believe it's been carefully designed. β
"What do you meanβ" Qiao Lezi was startled, "this is a murder?"
"I can't guarantee it," Yan Zike began to look down on the ground again, "I just don't want to let go of any possibility." β
Qiao Lezi touched his double chin and pondered for a while, and said: "In this case, let's assume that this is really a murder incident, and then what we have to do is to overturn this hypothesis, only by completely overturning it, can we truly rule out its possibility." A homicide case is nothing more than several elements such as the time of the crime, the place of the crime, the motive for the crime, and the modus operandi, among which the time and place of the crime are already obvious. And the modus operandi, if it is said that killing people with sharpened bamboo in the pond is the goal, how did the murderer make Miss He Er jump into the pond by herself? And if this incident is really a homicide, then the murderer can only be her-Cui Meilin. β
Speaking of this, Qiao Lezi asked Yan Qi: "Does Cui Meilin have anything different from others about the deceased?"
After asking, I was stunned: such a question asks a twelve-year-old girl what to do, she can see a fart.
I saw Yan Qi shaking his head: "No, Cousin Lin is the same to everyone." β
The child's words were not to be believed, Qiao Lezi didn't pay attention to Yan Qi's answer, and only fell back into thought.
Yan Zike walked to the toilet and stood with his back, as if he was recreating the situation when Miss He Er was using the toilet. If you sit on the toilet, your face is facing the direction of the east sliding door, outside the door is the corridor, when the maid who went to change the water has just left, holding a basin in her hand, she walked out of the door, put down the basin, turned around, pulled the clean room door shut, and then walked away, ready to go to the next door to change the water, just opened the door next door, Miss He Er screamed in the clean room......
Door.
Yan Qi looked at the door of the clean room, the door frame was made of wood, painted with black paint, and the door panel was made of thick and hard paper, and the paper was sprayed with ink irregularly. "The four paper walls of all rooms in Yinghongxuan are pasted with this kind of ink paper, and there is also a bamboo curtain made of purple bamboo.
Yan Zike walked over and put down the bamboo curtain, the bamboo curtain was rolled up like a roller shutter, hooked with a small hook, and the length of the floor could reach the floor after being put down, and there was still a length left on it, the bamboo slice made into the bamboo curtain was about a finger wide, and the distance between the bamboo slice and the bamboo piece was also about a finger wide, and there was nothing on it that could cause people to suddenly go crazy.
Next, Yan Zike and Qiao Lezi carefully inspected almost every inch of the entire clean room, but they found nothing. During this time, the people sent by Qiao Lezi finally called the little brother in his yamen, there was a master, a yacha, and a servant, in order not to alarm the guests of Cui's mansion, they sneaked in from the back door of the mansion, and sneaked into Yinghongxuan under the cover of night, which made everyone very depressed, obviously we are all law enforcers, what are we doing to make it look like we are here to carry out criminal activities!
Everyone performed their duties and soon entered the work state, there were more people to do things, a group of people began to carpet check the entire Yinghongxuan, the pond is the top priority, Miss Jiao and Miss Zhang, who had just been taken away by their parents, were brought back for questioning, and the five, six, seven and Cui Xi also stayed together to wait for the confession to be recorded.
Everyone was in full swing, but the dinner party in front of them had already begun, and Master Cui and Master Cui dragged Mrs. Cui, who was reluctant to leave Yinghongxuan, to the front to entertain the guests as usual, and I don't know what excuse they found to bluff the reason why several parties in this room could not attend the banquet.
Fortunately, the Cui family didn't plan to starve these people to death, so they specially asked the tight-mouthed mother-in-law to go to the kitchen to serve a few dishes and come over to open a small table for everyone.
"Why did she live in your house for?" Wu Yue was already a little familiar with Cui Xi, so he quietly pointed to Cousin Lin and asked him in a low voice.
"My cousin came to Beijing to do some errands, and she came with her, so she stayed at our house for the time being. Cui Xi said lightly.
This is still said in a good way, in fact, this cousin Lin is stubbornly following her father into Beijing, her father entered Beijing to do business, she clamored to go to Beijing to relax, anyway, with her such a strange act, it must not be difficult to persuade her father to agree to her to follow, her father is going to do business in Beijing, he can't take her with him, so let her live in Cui's Mansion temporarily, this residence in Cui's Mansion began to be full of chaos, fingering and fingering did not stop, even if the Cui family does not wait to see this clansman, it is not good to say anything, after all, ......
Wu Yue only thinks that Cousin Lin is too ignorant, and she doesn't treat all kinds of things honestly in other people's homes, you see, isn't this going to cause bad results?
Cui Xi was too lazy to talk about Cousin Lin, so he just crooked on the smoker cage and pretended to sleep, of course, what was covered under the smoker was not a charcoal basin, but an incense burner, and the stove was burning with smoked muscle incense. β
"When you're tired, go to the next door to rest. Yan Qi said to him.
"I said I was cured. Cui Xi said.
"But your face is not very good, and you are yellow. "Yan Qidao.
"Really, bring me a mirror. Cui Xi sat up straight, took the small bronze mirror he gave her from Yan Qi and took a photo, "It's the light." As he spoke, he pointed the mirror to the lamp, and immediately a pattern was cast on the opposite wall.
"It's amazing. "Yan Qidao.
"The magic mirror I made is a little different from the one in the ancient books," Cui Xi said, turning the mirror button behind the mirror, and the pattern on the wall actually changed, "I can turn it, and the pattern can change like a marquee." β
"Well, you're even more powerful, it's an upgraded version of the Magic Mirror. Yan Qi boasted.
"What is the upgraded version?" Cui Xi asked, but he didn't wait for Yan Qi's answer, anyway, he was used to some strange words that often popped out of this child's mouth since he was a child.
The two of them fiddled with the "marquee mirror" against the light, and looked at the patterns on the wall while turning the mirror button, so that Wu Yue also came over to fiddle with it, and the yacha, who was in charge of monitoring the parties in the tea room, was quite speechless: In the end, they are still children, and they have just died, and they forgot that they were afraid to play with toys not long after.
The bright and dark light patterns were projected on the wall, constantly changing the pattern, Yan Qi looked at it and suddenly stood up, startling Wu Yue: "What's wrong?"
Yan Qi glanced at Cousin Lin, who was sitting by the door and looking out at the night, she had been crying since Miss He Er's accident, her tears had dried up at this time, her eyelids and nose were still red, but there seemed to be a wisp of sadness in her dull eyes.
"I'll go find my uncle. Yan Qi did not hesitate, and came out of the tea room and went to the clean room.
Yan Zike was the only one in the clean room, the officer's investigation of the scene of the incident had ended, Miss He Er's body was still parked in place, Yan Zike was leaning on the paper screen door of Lintang with his arms in his arms and was contemplating, seeing Yan Qi knocking on the door and coming in, his eyes were slightly shaking, as if he was smiling, but he didn't move in place, and only said: "Know I'm here?"
"Hmm. Yan Qi entered the house and closed the door casually.
"Have you eaten enough?" asked her uncle.
"It's full. β
"What did you eat?"
"......" Is it really appropriate for the two of them to talk about these topics with the toilet and corpses in between......
After discussing a few words about the dishes that Yan Qi ate tonight, her uncle finally got back to business: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Yan Qi turned his head to look at the paper screen door behind him, and pointed to the bamboo curtain rolled on the door: "Uncle help me pull it down." β
Yan Zike walked over, stretched out his long arm and unhooked the bamboo curtain, pulled it down, and handed it into Yan Qi's hand, without asking Yan Qi's reason, he stood next to her with his arm and looked at her.
"Stand in front of the toilet. Yan Qi commanded her uncle.
Her uncle obediently stood in front of the toilet.
Yan Qi leaned to the side, letting go of a large piece of paper screen door, still dragging the bamboo curtain hook in his hand, and then pulled it down.
