Off topic -

Yuan Xiu?

At this time, the door of the Governor's Mansion opened from the inside, and Shi Dahai said, "The Governor is back?" The general has been waiting for you for a long time! ”

The moon turned around, his eyes eager to pierce the curtain of the car.

When he arrived at the Governor's Mansion, Yue Kill had just gotten off the carriage and heard Duqing say, "You go back to the Mansion first, and I'll go to the Hou Mansion." ”

The carriage drove past the gates of the inner city, and Twilight glanced at the gates. She went to the city today to open the coffin for an autopsy, this matter is probably known in Shengjing City, in this case, if you want to go to the outer city tonight to see Bu Xihuan, you don't have to walk through the secret road, you can take a carriage swaggering out of the city, the little man who guards the door will be scared by her this time, and when she goes out of the city again tonight, she will not dare to ask more.

After glancing at the wheel, Moon Slayer wondered when Twilight had become so wicked.

There was still a curfew in Shengjing City, and the carriage of the Governor's Mansion swaggered open the gate of the inner city because of the order of the prime minister to investigate the case. When crossing the city gate, the young general who guarded the gate had to check the carriage and horses, and Twilight heard it in the carriage, silently put down the pelvis, and held the skull in his hand, and the young general came in with a lantern to take a look, and screamed, "Mother", and even threw the lantern in his hand, and hurriedly let the person go.

After arranging the matter, Twilight lowered her head to examine the bones again. The carriage drove slowly, the lights in the alley filtering through the carriage like a marquee, and Twilight sat with the bones in her arms, the faint light passing by her face, flickering and dimming.

Now is a critical period for the investigation of the case, and she is not at ease to let the Zheng family stay in the inn.

Only then did Twilight Qing remember that Zheng Angelica hadn't left yet, so she said, "Take it back to the Governor's Mansion, stay in the guest room, watch him at night, don't let him move around at will." ”

Liu Heizi carried the bones to the carriage and asked, "Governor, the city gate is closed, shall I go to find an inn for that Zheng Angelica?" ”

"Bring the bones back to the Governor's Mansion!" Twilight got up, picked up the pelvis, and walked away as she touched it.

After Liu Heizi put on his robe, it was already dark, and Twilight Qing was still squatting on the ground holding a pelvis and touching it, and the gentle gesture made it difficult for Yin Zheng Guangqi of Shengjing Mansion to look directly, and coughed and said: "Dudu, it's dark, this autopsy is ......."

Then he went to examine the bones.

Twilight Qing didn't bother to pay attention to these men's thoughts, she shoved the robe into Liu Heizi's arms and said, "There are few people in the house, if you are infected with the wind and cold, there will be even less manpower." ”

Liu Heizi obeyed the order and rushed up, Twilight Qing untied the wind robe on his body and handed it to him, the wind robe was not Bu Xi Huan sent her sable Da Yu, that Da Xi Huan fell in the Changchun Courtyard that night, Bu Xi Huan took it away, and it was not given to her, she came out today to wear the military general's robe issued in the army, but this move still made Yue Kill's eyes jump, Liu Heizi was flattered, and the young man still had a dead leaf on his forehead, looking stupid.

"It's getting dark, come up." Twilight Qing interrupted Liu Heizi, and the remaining scattered bones will be fished out tomorrow, and the large bones have been fished out of the well, and the murderer will not send someone to the well in the middle of the night to fish for a few finger bones or phalanges.

"There may be ...... at the bottom of the well"

He was about to go into the water again, and Twilight said, "Alright, come up." ”

Liu Heizi is young, the local pronunciation is easy to change, he has been in the northwest military camp for a few days, and he has been with Shi Dahai for a long time. He went back and forth into the well four or five times, and the last time he came up, the cloth bag was full of mud, sand and gravel at the bottom of the well, mixed with a few finger bones, and large bones had been picked up.

Three or four feet deep in the well, staying alone with a dead corpse, and picking up bones and scooping up corpses, this matter is very people's guts, no one in Shengjing Mansion thought that Liu Heizi had such courage, and he was a little despised when he was lame, and such people with bad legs and feet were not even worthy of a third-class small house in the big family of Shengjing, how could they want to have such courage? Although his accent sounds a little messy, it should be a Jiangnan clan, Shengjing is cold in winter, and he dares to go into the water on a cold day, which is better than the people of Shengjing Mansion and the Five Cities Patrol Division!

"Be careful!" Twilight put the bones in the open space in the courtyard, and handed the cloth bag made of clothes to Liu Heizi, who let go of his hand on the edge of the well, and then entered the water again with a pop.

"Dudu, there is a dead body at the bottom of the well, the water is too dark, I can't see anything, I touched it for a while, I guess it was tied together with hemp rope and stones and sunk at the bottom of the well, I first picked up the big bones, and some small ones, and then went down to fish."

Twilight took the cloth into her hand and opened it to reveal that in addition to the skull, there were also long bones for the pelvis and arms and legs, as well as some ribs and vertebrae. The bones are incomplete, and it is obvious that Liu Heizi picked up the large pieces and wrapped them first.

Liu Heizi smiled, didn't speak, just raised his hand and proposed a cloth bag. He was naked, and the cloth bag was his middle coat, and there were a lot of things bulging in that dress! Without anyone pulling up, he climbed the slippery wall of the well and jumped up like a monkey.

Twilight gave him a cold look and asked into the well, "How?" ”

The head catcher was frightened, thinking that he had seen a water ghost.

When the head catcher of the Shengjing Mansion heard this, he was busy shaking the rope next to the well, but as soon as he raised his hand, he saw a big splash coming out of the well, and Liu Heizi's wet head poked out, and he rushed up and smiled.

Twilight Qing stared at the well and saw that it had turned to the head, and Liu Heizi should have reached the bottom of the well, but only the hemp rope could be seen shaking on the surface of the well, and he didn't know the situation at the bottom of the well. Twilight ordered someone to light incense next to the well, and in the evening there was a cold wind in the courtyard, and the incense burned quickly, every inch burned, Twilight Qing took a look at the well, and when it burned three inches, Liu Heizi did not come up, and Twilight said in a deep voice: "Pull the rope!" ”

Moon Kill glared at Twilight Qing secretly by the well, but she didn't see her say a gentle word in front of her master, but she could say it to others!

The splash is not big, but the sound of the water is terrifying, and the catchers look at the well, holding their breath and watching.

Twilight Qing felt warm, but her face was pale, she nodded, and watched Liu Heizi jump onto the edge of the well, the young man was only wearing a middle coat, his exposed hands and feet were dark, lean and strong, and he jumped into the well with a pop.

Liu Heizi was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head, and grinned at the sunset when he looked up, his expression was as usual, his eyes were red, and he smiled heartlessly: "Don't worry!" I still want to save my life to protect the governor! ”

"The well is deep and narrow, and the terrain in the river is very different, it is difficult for you to spread it in the well, so you must not be careless, life is important, and I want to see you return to your hometown in the future." Twilight never said such emotional words on weekdays, but she was afraid that Liu Heizi would act in order to prove that he was capable of acting and human life, and it would be good if he could make him scruple in a word.

The well water is warm in winter and cool in summer, and Dusk Qing is not afraid that Liu Heizi will feel cold when he goes into the water, he only sleeps for two hours a day these days, and he falls and beats in the heavy snow with his bare arms every day. This young man was lame in the mountains of Qingzhou, and he was the leader of the group in the northwest military camp, and he needed a chance to show his skills, even if it was a small opportunity to fish for corpses. Therefore, she will give him this opportunity today no matter what, but she must also take care of his safety.

The catchers of the Shengjing Mansion woke up at this time, the hemp rope was easy to find, the catcher went out of the hospital, and after a while, he asked for a bundle of hemp rope from a family at the mouth of the alley, and when he came back, he listened to Duqing's instructions to tie the hemp rope to the well wheel, and tied it to Liu Heizi.

"Good!" Twilight nodded, turned around and said, "Find a hemp rope!" ”

"It can be done!"

"There are rotting corpses and dead leaves in the well, and the well water is unclean, you need to close your eyes and touch the corpses, can you do it?"

"Okay! I grew up on a fishing boat by the Bianhe River since I was a child, and I know the water best, so I can rest assured! Liu Heizi patted his chest and promised.

"Will it work?" Twilight asked.

The young man smiled shyly, but his hands and feet were sharp, and as he spoke, he untied his robe and rolled up the sleeves and trouser legs of his middle coat.

"Okay!" Liu Heizi's eyes were dark and bright, and he said to Du Qing, "Governor, I'll go down the well!" ”

"Why not?" Yue Kill sneered, took Liu Heizi over, and said, "Go into the water and show them!" ”

The underground is narrow and deep, and the corpse is fished out? It's better to jump into a well and die!

"Down, down?" The eyes of the catcher were about to fall off, "Dudu, on this cold day, people will freeze to death if they go down the well!" Besides, the well water is three or four zhang deep, and there is nothing black in the water, how to go down to the well to fish out the corpse? ”

"Send someone down the well to fish!"

"What does the Governor mean?"

"Don't fish." Twilight Qing pinched the wrist bean bone and got up and said, "The net in your hand is thick and big, and it is useful to fish out the floating corpses in the river, and you can't eat hard in the well, and you won't be able to fish it out until tomorrow." ”

As soon as she said that this was a human bone, the people in the Shengjing Mansion immediately felt that the thing was white, and they would continue to fish it when they turned around.

"Bracher bones, carpal bones shaped like peas, and there is indeed a corpse underneath the well." Twilight Road.

Everyone was stunned, Zheng Guangqi turned around in unison, and saw Twilight Qing pulling the dead leaf that had just been fished out, and pinching out a piece of something from a rolled dead leaf. It was shaped like a pea, and it was so glittering with water in the setting sun that it was impossible to tell what it was.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Twilight say, "Wait! ”

After more than ten rounds, the dead leaves were piled up into small piles, but there were still no bones. Zheng Guangqi's patience has been worn out, but he can't provoke Twilight, so he has to endure it, he looked at the sky, saw that the sunset was getting red, and it would be dark in about an hour, so he thought that he would simply endure until dark, and if he couldn't get out the bones, he would leave on the grounds that it was dark.

When the catcher heard this, he continued to work bitterly.

"Put the fished out stuff here." Twilight pointed to the open space in the courtyard, the catcher was about to throw away the scattered dead leaves in the net, and when he heard this, he had to act according to his words, Twilight squatted on the ground, pulled the leaves with his hands, and said without raising his head, "Keep fishing." ”

"Governor, it seems that there is ...... in this well There are no dead bodies. The head catcher of the Shengjing Mansion held the fishing net and snorted and panted.

If you can get to the bottom of the well, it's easy to do. Needless to say, the catchers quickly fished up to the bottom of the well, but after stirring for a while, nothing came out, all scattered dead branches and leaves.

Twilight looked into the well and saw that the surface of the well was deep and secluded, like a pool of stagnant water. She ordered a catcher to poke the net into the well, and when she pulled it up, she saw that the wooden pole of the net had not yet been wet, and the depth of the well was three or four feet.

This matter is easy to do, and the Shengjing Mansion quickly found a fishing net without Zheng Guangqi's instructions, and fished out the dead leaves from the well. There is an old tree in this courtyard, the branches and leaves are growing in the direction of the wellhead, the well has not been used for more than ten years, the dead leaves in the well have accumulated into piles, the catchers have fished for a long time, the dead leaves piled up are higher than the well platform, and the well surface looks cleaner.

"Scoop up those dead leaves and take a look first." Twilight Road.

He didn't ask Twilight how she knew that there was still a corpse in the well, anyway, she said yes, there was a chance that there were, and it was better not to ask if she asked about the knife that provoked her.

The water in the well has not dried up, but it has not been used for more than ten years, and the surface of the well has been covered with dead branches and leaves. ”
