The headless corpse is not an isolated case......

Does this mean - is there any? Lu Li looked at Yu Zhi in surprise.

Yu Zhi closed his eyes and sighed, and nodded quietly, "Indeed...... And also. ”

Zhao Zhu's gaze was instantly sharp, and Shen Wansha couldn't help covering his mouth, looking incredulous.

"The old man has not left for a long time on this trip to Jingzhao Mansion, and it is also because of this matter." Yu Zhi's eyes were solemn, "After the case of Yu Fu Zhenyue, I was entrusted by Fu Yin to go out of the city for many days and read several similar cases. ”

This matter is a long story, Yu Zhi asked Lu Li and the three of them to sit down, let the little official serve tea, and slowly explained the truth.

In the past year, starting from Chengdu Mansion, there have been headless naked corpses in three mansions and nine provinces. The corpses were all thrown into the wilderness, some were found at the first death, some were found with rotting bones, and even wild beasts gnawed and only the bones were found. Due to the difference in the time and location of the body, local officials only checked one of them, and felt that the case was particularly painful, but there was not much association.

The identity of the headless naked corpse is difficult to find, the case has not progressed for a long time, and the murderer has naturally not been caught. Unsolved cases are placed on the desks of officials everywhere, and it is difficult to report them when they are unsolved, so such a murderous murderer has been at large, causing murders in different places, and no one knows about it!

Lu Li's breathing was slightly cold.

The lower officials thought that it was a case that only appeared on their own territory, and the unsolved cases were not reported until they were solved, and the officials did not know that there were a huge number of similar cases, so they could not give summaries, instructions, and help, and the murderers were cunning and exploiting loopholes, so they could not get away with the law!

One year ...... Twelve months, how many people the murderer has to kill!

Yu Zhi's eyebrows were furrowed, and his voice was extremely helpless, "I only learned about this case recently." ”

Two county officials who are on an errand in a different place and have a very good relationship met by chance, chatting about this mysterious and intractable headless case, and found that it is not only me here, but you also have it! When I asked about the details, it was almost ...... The two felt that something was wrong, so they immediately reported to Shangguan, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin quickly got the news.

Fu Yin immediately followed up and investigated by the officials, and was shocked when he received feedback from all over the place, it was such a brutal serial murder case! Knowing that Yu Zhi happened to be in Jingzhao Mansion, they pulled the old gentleman over to help investigate.

At that time, Yu Zhi happened to be pulled by Yu Fu to break Zhenyue's case, and because of Lu Li's powerful young man's help, he put less thought into Zhenyue's death and devoted more energy to the headless case. At that time, he didn't want to be involved too much, so he didn't sue Lu Li in this case.

Who knew that after more than a month, Lu Li also bumped into this case.

“…… I see. ”

Lu Li's eyes condensed slightly, and he said that Mr. Yu has both talent and morality, even if he has the intention of promoting his juniors, it is impossible to completely leave his hands alone, it turns out that there are other things on his body.

Moreover, this headless corpse was found, and the government could not find a person to conduct an autopsy, so Wei Zhutou begged himself earnestly...... This qiē is all because of this headless case!

Shen Wansha also suddenly realized, "I said, Zhenyue died, the county lord of Duanhui arrived at Jingzhao Mansion with her husband, and no one from the government came out to greet him, the county lord is a clan, so disrespectful is not right, it turns out that there is another reason." ”

Yu Zhi arched his hand in the direction of the capital, and his demeanor was respectful, "The county lord received the news as soon as he arrived at the Jingzhao Mansion, but he didn't have time to take care of it when he was outside, so he specially wrote a letter asking for guilt. ”

Lu Li didn't pay too much attention to these, he paid attention to the case, "Yu Lao is looking for me, but he allows me to investigate the case together?" If he was right, Wei Zhutou probably knew that something was big by now.

Yu Zhiding looked at Lu Li, his eyes were a little complicated, "Lu Li, do you know that in this series of cases, the first death was discovered, and the body was the most intact case, how long did it take the government to find out the identity of the deceased?" ”

Lu Li compared himself and gave an answer, "Four days? ”

The body found by Shen Wansha had been dead for ten days, and immediately after it was discovered, an autopsy was conducted, and a guess was given. If the body is found as soon as it is newly dead, even if it is naked, many clues should be easy to find, although the ancients did not have all the convenient tools of modern times, but he was often surprised by wisdom and experience, so he cut the time in half.

Yu Zhi shook his head and doubled the gesture of 'six', "Twelve." ”

"Huh?" Lu Li was slightly stunned, completely incredulous.

"Naked corpse, headless, it's too difficult to find its identity." Yu Zhi looked at Lu Li with appreciation, "I've seen your autopsy list, but I didn't expect that you would give so many clues based on just one corpse...... Lu Li, you are very strong. ”

was seriously praised by an industry leader, a wise and resolute old man, Lu Li was a little embarrassed, "...... Just try your best. ”

"The murderer in this case is extremely cunning, the crime has been committed for a long time, the location is large, and it is very difficult to detect. Yu Zhi threw out the words, "Lu Li, I want you to participate." ”

"But I'm not for that money, I just believe that with your participation, this case will be solved just around the corner!"

Yu Zhi's expression was too firm, and Lu Li's ears were a little red, "I ......"

Who knew that before he finished speaking, Shen Wansha hurriedly asked, "How much is the reward!" He clenched his hands into fists, his cheeks crimson and his eyes sparkled, and he was more excited than anyone else.

Lu Li: ...... "Aren't you bad for money?" ”

"That's different!" Shen Wansha held his face, full of yearning, "My money is my money, but whoever can earn it, you must fight for it!" ”

Yu Zhi was amused by the young man's cute appearance, took a sip of tea, and said, "Because it is the union of the three parties, the silver reward is not good-looking if it lacks face, so it ...... One thousand taels. ”

"One thousand taels!" Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, and the mansions were so willing! He immediately grabbed Lu Li's sleeve and shook it, "Little Li, it's done!" ”

The young master's eyes seemed to be shining with golden ingots, Lu Li was also very excited, nodded with a smile, and asked Yu Zhi again, "Old Yu went out, but have you seen a lot of cases?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Speaking of business, Yu Zhi's expression was serious, "I've only seen a few cases in the neighborhood. Due to the long time, the corpses decomposed and could not be preserved, many of them were buried, and I only saw one slightly complete corpse. ”

"Just like the corpse you examined, headless, naked, except for the traces of hands and feet being bound by extremely fine and sharp things, there are no obvious external injuries, I can't find the scene of the first crime, I don't know the murderer's machine, and I don't know how to choose the place to abandon the body." Yu Zhi's voice was old, like a faint sigh, "I have consulted those headless case files that have been placed for a long time, and the autopsy items are similar, and all the corpses are the same. ”

Lu Li's fingertips twisted lightly, and asked slowly, "Are they all beheaded alive?" ”

"The one I looked at was the man alive at the time of the beheading. However, other autopsies are incomplete...... Some of the beheadings are not well detected, before or after death, or omissions are not recorded. "Yu Zhi is sorry," there is only one copy that clearly states that he was beheaded before death. ”

Lu Li nodded in understanding, the development of Daxia and his party is not outstanding, and there are very few people with good skills, but-"The scene is xiàn, the wound marks are well recorded." ”

"Yes." Yu Zhi pointed to the stack of thick files on the table, "These are the files I collected from the magistrates of several prefectures, I was reading them before you came, but unfortunately I haven't seen many of them." ”

"Can I see it?"

"Nature." Yu Zhi smiled, "I brought it here to show you." ”

It was still early, Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, and then at Shen Wansha, "I want to read the file here, you ...... Why don't you go back and rest? ”

Shen Wansha objected, "Where the little oak is, I will be there!" "It's so boring to go back, it's the best fun to follow your friends! And solve the case, maybe he can also contribute!

Zhao Shu's eyes were slightly constricted, his face was calm, and his expression only expressed one meaning: Just do what you want to do, and leave me alone.

Lu Li understood, and smiled at Yu Zhi with crooked eyebrows, "I'll start reading the file now!" ”

Yu Zhi was worried about the case, and he didn't mean to rest, so he quickly called someone in, commanded to put together a few square tables into a large table, moved the file, put the refreshments together, and sat down to watch it with Lu Li.

……

Time passed quickly, and the two of them, one old and one young, looked very seriously, and never touched them except for the toilet. Shen Wansha helped to sneak out to play for a while, and from time to time when Lu Li's brows were furrowed, and Yu Zhi pinched his neck, he made fun of the atmosphere and Zhao Zhu ...... The sense of storage zài is very low, and I have been out for a long time, but no one notices.

There were more and more files at hand, and Lu Li flipped through them, and soon found common ground.

In the autopsy list, there is no article that says 'beheaded after death', either omitting it or explicitly stating 'beheading before death'. If you don't mention it, you may not have tested it, or you have ignored this problem, and writing it is certain...... Lu Li believes that it is likely that all the corpses were decapitated before death.

For the description of neck scars, in chronological order, the back sections are smooth and crisp, and the front ones have second, third, or even most scars...... The murderer hesitated before, but then decisively, obviously the beheading was not without pressure on him, he was not born cold-blooded, but the more people he killed, the more fierce his heart became, and this matter was no longer a burden to him.

The deceased had no obvious external injuries on the surface of his body, nor did he show any signs of poisoning, and the tools used to bind his hands and feet...... Never found.

In the on-site investigation records of the hunters, it is clearly recorded that the deceased looked when he was found, all of them were lying on their backs, with their hands and feet straight and stretched...... All the corpses have been posed!

……

But these are not enough, the common denominator, he needs to find out more commonalities and overlapping social relationships of the deceased, in order to determine the motive for the killing, and then finally find out the murderer!

But most of these deceased people can't even find their names, how to find social connections?

What a headache......

Seeing the twilight all the time, Lu Li pinched his eyebrows, this is not good.

"Elder Yu, I want to see more corpses, is that okay?" Many of the autopsy items cannot even be deduced from the age of the deceased, so how difficult is it to find the identity? It's better for him to do me a favor, even if it's going to be running around.

Yu Zhi stroked his beard, his eyes flashed, his smile was mysterious, and he looked like 'how do you know I'm prepared'.

Lu Li was puzzled at first, but after he understood, his eyes became brighter and brighter, "You...... I expected that I wanted to perform an autopsy, and I discussed the matter with Shangguan? ”

"Not only that," Yu Zhi's face smiled even more, "I vouched for my reputation and asked several Fu Yin to transport all the bones that could be transported here, and the first batch will arrive in the early hours of tomorrow morning." ”

"I've heard that you not only know how to dissect corpses, but you also have a hand in bone examination...... Lu Li, show us what you have learned. ”

Being so trusted by such an old man, Lu Li couldn't hold back his joy for the first time, and almost jumped up and hugged the old man opposite, but he knew that the ancient etiquette was different from the modern one, so he couldn't help it, only straightened his back, and said loudly, "Don't worry, Old Yu, I will definitely work hard!" ”

The young man's cheeks were slightly red, his eyes were shining, and he was full of vitality, and Yu Zhi couldn't help but think back to his original self......

This purity is really rare.

He couldn't hold back and touched Lu Li's head, "You'll be very busy from tomorrow, it's late today, go back and rest." ”

Lu Li was a little reluctant, and did not leave immediately, but said the common points that he had just summarized from the dossier.

Yu Zhiting's face was stern, and at the end of the day, he also found something that coincided with Lu Li. Lu Li's meticulous thinking and accurate analysis can almost surpass him......

How could such a young man not go far!

Yu Zhi's eyes became more and more enthusiastic, and the two talked very happily, and finally Zhao Shu couldn't look past it and reminded Lu Li that it was time for dinner, Yu Zhi suddenly realized and urged Lu Li to hurry up.

Lu Li saw that it was so late, and Yu Zhi couldn't stiffen up at this age, so he carefully advised him for a long time before leaving with Zhao Zhu.

Previously, Zhao Shu had already signaled Shen Wansha to go back to the inn to eat first, so only the two of them walked back together this time.

Dark clouds are coming, the sky is dark, the stars and moon are gone, and you can't see your five fingers, if it weren't for the lanterns picked up by the shops at the door of the house, Lu Li could hardly see the road. He subconsciously followed Zhao Zhu's footsteps, his mind was still immersed in the case, and he didn't notice the increasingly heavy face of the man next to him.

Zhao Shu finally couldn't bear it, and suddenly carried the person up, and his big hand fell on Lu Li's ass with a 'snap'.

Lu Li was startled, covering his ass and being ashamed and angry, "What are you doing!" ”

"Remind you to be careful." Zhao Zhu's voice was hoarse, "No matter how urgent things are, they are not as important as the body, understand?" ”

Lu Li's face turned red, he knew that Zhao Shu was good for him, but he couldn't accept this way, "You let me down!" ”

Zhao Zhu explained with his actions: Don't let go.

Lu Li struggled with his hands and feet, but he couldn't break free of Zhao Zhu's big hand, and he didn't dare to make a loud noise on the street to attract others, and finally he couldn't do it in a hurry, showing his small teeth, and biting wherever he caught.

Zhao Zhu's arm was bitten, but not only was he not angry, but his chest was agitated and he laughed.

Lu Li: ...... Perverted!

On a June night, it was rare for the night wind to howl, puffing up the robes of the two.

There is a faint floral scent.

The wind brings damp water vapor, but also brings the vagaries of the sky, and there are lightning and thunder, which suddenly cut through the sky.

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
