By the time the lamb chops were cooked, Twilight had already picked the bones.

The cook held a large plate and didn't know where to put it.

"On the ground." After Du Qing gave an order, he turned to Yuan Xiu's personal soldiers in the courtyard and said, "I'm tired of bringing a white cloth." ”

The soldier went as he was told, and Twilight lowered his head, and saw that two lamb chops were roasted on a large plate next to the threshold, so he said to the generals at the door, "If you want to eat, take it yourself." ”

The generals looked at the lamb chops, and they all showed their faces, and watched as Twilight Qing took a golden buttery lamb chop and ate it expressionlessly, while there was a pile of white broken bones on the ground in front of her, and a pile of meat pieces that I didn't know if it was mutton or human flesh.

She calmly ate a lamb chop in front of the pile of meat, and took another one to eat while checking that the pot was still stewed with large pieces of meat and bones.

Tough guys like Lu Da couldn't stand it anymore, and they just felt that they had nothing to say.

"Haha!" At this time, suddenly hearing a laugh, Yuan Xiu sat down on the threshold, also took a roast lamb chop, and asked, "Can the teacher eat it?" ”

Gu Qian's old face turned green, and he flicked his sleeves and turned around, "The old man won't eat!" ”

Yuan Xiu laughed again, the depression between his eyebrows dissipated, and with a touch of pleasure, he took a big bite of the meat on a lamb chop, and praised: "Hmm! That's lamb chops! ”

At this time, the soldier came back with the cloth, and Twilight came out and said, "Spread it on the ground." ”

The white cloth was wide enough to lie down on the two of them, and spread it under the stone steps at the door of the kitchen, and after eating the lamb chops in her hand, Twilight Qing washed her hands, sat down on the stone steps, and divided her bones.

The cooks and soldiers in the kitchen were escorted aside, General Gu and Lu Da led the generals to surround them, the scorching sun at noon, no one felt hot, and all their hearts were on the white bones in the hands of the young man in front of them. I saw that the young man picked up the clean broken bones from the basin one by one, looked at them twice, touched them a few times, and the broken bones in the basin gradually divided into several piles.

Yuan Xiu sat on the threshold and looked at the back of the young man, and the generals stood in the courtyard and watched the young man's movements, the courtyard was too quiet, and it took only a quarter of an hour to work, and the broken bones in the basin had all been divided, and then listened to the young man: "Tired, take this pile." ”

The errand runner was stunned, and stepped forward to pick up the pile of broken bones on the white cloth, but he didn't know where to put them, and asked, "Uh, where to take it?" ”

"Throw it away." Twilight didn't even lift her head.

When she said this, a fool could tell that these broken bones were useless, that is, these were sheep bones!

However, the generals looked at the pile in front of Twilight, and then at the pimple in the arms of the soldier, squeezing out a knot in his head - how the hell did you get it? Look, why are they all the same?

And, since the rest were human bones, why were they divided into several piles?

"How do you know these are sheep bones?" Suddenly, a voice came from the side of the old general Gu, Lu Da turned his head, and saw Qi He frowning and staring at the broken bones on the ground.

Twilight didn't answer, got up and went into the kitchen, took out the remaining meat and bones from the pot, brought them out with cold water, sat down on the steps, bowed his head, and removed the meat.

She didn't say a word, so Qi He's face was covered with frost, and just about to have a seizure, she saw Twilight Qing raise her hand, looked at the broken bone that had been cleaned up and looked at the scorching sun, and said, "People walk upright, beasts walk with limbs, and the bones are different from head to toe. This is a vertebrae, although a corner is missing, but the obvious vertebral foramen is larger, the transverse diameter is larger than the longitudinal diameter, and the articular surface and articular process are not developed - human bone! ”

Twilight put the bone on the white cloth, picked and picked it in the basin, picked out the bone, cleaned it cleanly, and put it on the white cloth!

"This is the beast bone, and it is also the vertebrae, compared to the one just now, the characteristics are just the opposite."

Qi He's eyes fell on the bone, and then looked at the human bone just now, before she could see it too clearly, Twilight Qing picked out another piece of broken bone, this bone was relatively long, it looked like it had been cut off, there was only one section, she still didn't hesitate to put it in one of the piles on the human bone, "Sternum!" Man walks upright, has flexible upper limbs, well-developed sternal stems, and has special sternoclavicular joints and first sternocostal joints, which animal bones do not have. ”

After speaking, she took out a rather large whole bone, which was directly put on the animal bone without even picking it, "The pelvis is narrow and long, the pubic arch angle is small, and there is no obvious gender difference - animal bone!" ”

The young man was very fast, and the time to remove the flesh was longer than the bone, and she was careful not to hurt the broken bones, some of which were very small, and they swirled around her fingertips, as if playing with precious treasures. Yuan Xiu sat behind Dusk Qing, looking at the young man's fingers, the scorching sun shone on the fingertips, the pink was stained with water droplets, and the sunlight seemed to be able to pass through, shining on the fingertips as soft as jade.

The man gradually frowned, his eyes were dyed with suspicion, and he was a little distracted.

The generals' eyes rose and fell with the young man's fingers, and his mood seemed to rise and fall with the fingers, his eyes were dizzying, and his breath was held.

"What about the broken ones? How do you find out? "Qi He is a military doctor after all, she is more careful than the rough generals, some broken bones have obviously been cut to the head and tail, it is difficult to see what part it is, but she can still quickly separate those broken bones!

"Experience." Twilight put a piece of broken bone in her hand and put it on the pile of human bones, "You have been doing one thing for more than ten years, and you can do it too." ”

The combined experience of her two lives is more than twenty years.

Understanding the size, shape and touch of human bones is a necessary course in forensic anthropology, and there is no shortcut to the research process, only to constantly exercise one's eye and sense of touch on the bones of various races every day, until you can feel the subtle things such as weight and texture in your hands. When she was studying abroad, Professor William of anthropology liked to torture them with a black box test, which came from the famous Professor Bill Bass, that is, put a human bone in a black box, and let the students touch it, and tell what part of the bone is by touch alone, and if the professor is in a bad mood on the day of the test, they will touch a fragment of a certain part of the bone. Although this test method is inhumane, it has also honed many elites.

Another pot of broken bones was divided, and Twilight went to the kitchen to get another pot, and the elbow was the last to be fished out, and after all the broken bones were divided, there were more than 100 human bones on the white cloth at a glance!

Twilight got up, walked down the stone steps, reached the opposite end of the white cloth, crouched down, and began to fight bones.

The broken bones have been distinguished, and the bones are like puzzles, it only takes time and patience.

There were no skulls, hands and legs in these fragments, because these parts were too easy to identify as human corpses, and the killer did not send them. The rest were the arms, ribs, spine, pelvis, and legs, and in Twilight's experience, she didn't need to draw these areas, and she just started fighting bones.

No one spoke, Qi He only stared at Twilight's hand tightly, watching her deftly stitch those broken bones into a picture, and his eyes gradually became shocked!

He knew why she had divided the human bones into piles when she split them! She separated the human bones by parts, in order to facilitate the bone spelling at this time!

That is to say, when she had just split the bones, she did two things at once - she not only separated the sheep bones from the human bones, but also divided the parts of the broken bones!

He is a military doctor, and he thinks that he is a skilled doctor, and he has saved countless lives and helped countless wounded, and there is no one who knows more about the dead and wounded than the doctor, but what Twilight is doing in front of him is something he has never heard of, as if it is a new field.

Those ribs were served on the table at today's luncheon, the most complete, no need to fight bones, just put them in order, but even a simple rib arrangement order has never been seen for Qi He. The young man stared at the puzzle pieces of human bones, and his eyes had more content than the generals present.

Soon, Twilight put together the left arm of the bone, and just as she went to fight for her left leg, the team of soldiers who had gone to the gang's camp to get people returned.

The leader's personal soldier's face was quite gloomy, and when Yuan Xiu looked at his face, his face sank a little.

"Report to the general! At the end of the general, a few people went to the sixth army of the gang head camp to look for Xiao Zheng, but they didn't see anyone! asked the head of the battalion, Yao Duwei, Yao Duwei said that he didn't know where to hide today, he hadn't seen him, and he was looking for him! ”

"What?" As soon as Lu Da heard this, he said angrily, "It must be this person!" Otherwise, how could such a coincidence happen, the human flesh was sent to the General's Mansion yesterday evening, and the people will be gone today! ”

All the generals were angry, and General Gu said, "Find it for the old man!" This Guancheng cannot enter and exit without a military order, and people can still fly with wings? Dig three feet into the ground and find out for the old man! ”

"Yes!" The pro-soldier said.

One of the generals said: "Since this person is suspicious, then the generals will also go back to the barracks and send people to look for it, I don't believe that this rabbit cub can be found!" ”

Old General Gu nodded with a calm face, and Yuan Xiu also said, "Go ahead." ”

The soldiers were about to leave, and suddenly a voice came.

"It's okay to dig three feet into the ground, but don't look for the whole one, look for the head and hands and feet."

Yuan Xiu was slightly stunned, and the generals followed the prestige, and saw that it was Twilight Qing who spoke, she squatted on the ground, did not look back, and was still fighting for her bones.

The scene in the courtyard was chaotic, the atmosphere was restless and solemn, but the young man was out of place with this atmosphere, and her squatting body looked small and thin among the five big and three thick generals, but it was so impossible to ignore.

"Did you find anything?" Yuan Xiu asked, but there was already a light in his eyes, obviously guessing something based on what Du Qing had just said.

Twilight Qing didn't answer, turned his head to look at the soldier in charge of meat and vegetables in the kitchen, and asked: "Xiao Zheng Nian is about twenty years old, five feet four inches to five feet six inches long, fell off his horse two or three years ago, broke his left arm and left calf, and later recovered from his injuries and went to the gang head camp with a lame leg. He had made military merits, and the battalion took good care of him, and handed over to him the errand of delivering food to the general's mansion. ”

The soldier was stunned for a moment, and the generals looked at him in unison, but he only opened his mouth in a daze.

"Damn! Isn't it, talk! Lu Da was in a hurry.

"Yes! Be! The soldier shook in fright and nodded hurriedly, "Xiao, Xiao Zheng told me that he is twenty years old, about ...... I'm so tall! ”

The soldier was escorted by his own soldiers and stood aside, about five feet four or five inches tall!

"Xiao Zheng was originally a cavalryman, and more than two years ago he fought with the Hu people, fell off his horse and broke his arm and leg, and after recovering from his injury, he lame, and he could no longer ride a horse and went to the gang's head camp. I heard that in that battle, he killed a young general of the Hu people, and he made meritorious service, and the Yao Du Lieutenant of the gang head battalion valued him, and the government also believed in such meritorious soldiers, so the errand of delivering food was given to him. The soldier looked at Twilight with a shocked look on his face.

The generals who were shocked were also all over the courtyard.

"How do you know?" Yuan Xiu asked, he was the master of the Great General's Mansion, and he didn't know any of these things.

"He sued me." Twilight came out of nowhere, pointing to the unfinished bones on the ground.

All the generals looked at the white bones!

But he heard Twilight Qing say: "You don't need to look for a living person, it's enough to find a head, hands and feet." He is Xiao Zheng. ”

"He ......" Lu Dadu was stunned for a moment.

How did Twilight know that this person was Xiao Zheng, and how did she know so many things about Xiao Zheng, this was a question in everyone's hearts, but no matter how many questions there were, it was not as cold as when she heard that the bones on the ground were Xiao Zheng.

If the person who was dismembered on the ground was Xiao Zheng, then who was the person who came yesterday evening?

A dead man sent his own flesh to the General's Mansion?
