"So, the four deceased should have all been to the same place before they died?" After sorting out the clues that Xiao Jue came up with after the inquest of the body, I seem to think that this may be the connection between the four deceased. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"If it's just incense ash, can it be used as a feature to distinguish the relationship between the dead?" Brother said, "But anyone who pretends to be elegant, why not pretend to be a style by burning incense." Moreover, those who claim to be cultivators now also burn incense as a life sacrifice. There may be many places where this incense ash is, maybe they have been to the same place, right? ”

"It is true that the incense ashes may exist in a lot and not in a specific environment, but if some of the incense ashes carried by these deceased people have some kind of special medicinal materials, then the possibility of coincidence is very low." Xiao Jue said, and asked the watchman to put a few small bags on the table in front of us and spread them out. "In the stomach of the first deceased, Harrier Bead, this undigested incense ash was found; The second deceased, the incense ash, was found under her shoes; And the third deceased, Huanniang, was in her fingernails; And the fourth deceased, Yuetang, was in the snort. ”

Stomach, soles, nails, snorts...... I carefully identified the almost invisible incense ash in the four small packets, and there was indeed a faint strange smell, "Xiao Jue, the medicinal herbs you are talking about, this smell...... What is it? ”

"Musk." Xiao Jue said.

"Musk?!" My brother seemed to be surprised and a little confused, "But musk, isn't it a spice used for aphrodisiac in some perfumes?" ”

"Musk is a high-grade spice that is dried from the male gonadal sac of the cervid musk deer, and if you put a little bit of it indoors, it will fill the house with a very different smell. Musk is not only pleasantly aromatic, but also long-lasting. As far as I know, musk, in addition to being a high-grade spice, is also a traditional Chinese medicine, and it is unlikely that it can be aphrodisiac alone unless it is blended with another spice. Before musk is processed into perfume, in addition to its practical therapeutic effects, there are also side effects that make pregnant women prone to miscarriage, but this refers to the fact that before being processed into perfume, dozens or even hundreds of spices will be used in a bottle of perfume, musk is only one of them, the perfumer will only use a little bit, and use it in auxiliary fragrances, most women's fragrances will use musk in the aftertaste or middle taste, and even some baby perfumes also have musk ingredients. "In terms of feminine products, I naturally know more than my brother, but Xiao Jue may not necessarily understand what perfume is.

Xiao Jue frowned, although he was used to me and my brother often saying things that were not easy for him to understand, but he was listening to our conversation very seriously, trying to accept what we talked about. "The Lord repels evil spirits...... Warm malaria, Gu poison, epilepsy, go to the three worms. This is Shennong's record of musk, musk is extremely precious, ordinary people rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with it, except for the palace, only a few clans have this honor, and the four deceased all left incense ashes mixed with musk, which should be more than a coincidence. ”

Xiao Jue is right, we ignore the rarity of musk in ancient times, there was no artificial breeding in this era, so the number of musk is extremely small, and ordinary people may not be able to see it in their lifetime.

"Can any other characteristics be found in the four deceased?" I was confused, but I vaguely thought that this case would have a certain connection with the so-called royal nobles.

"The first deceased, Harrier Zhu, according to the records, was missing on the night of her duty, but was found dead in a well in the palace the next morning, and the cause of death was the bite on her neck, which was almost broken, but there were almost no scars on her body because of the struggle, which is very strange. Anyone who is attacked will instinctively resist when their life is threatened, not to mention the murderer who the deceased encounters killed her in such a brutal way as biting off her neck, unless ...... If it is denied that the murderer bit her to death at once, then she is the only one who gives up the possibility of struggling. Xiao Jue said, but his eyes were shrouded in a layer of fog.

The murderer can't be a monster or ghost, so the result of breaking the neck and causing the death of the deceased can only be man-made except for the beast. In the palace, the guards are tight, if you want to kill with one blow, you can only think of large and ferocious beasts such as tigers, leopards, lions, bears, etc., such a beast is unlikely to enter the palace, but even if it enters the palace, it is impossible to wait for the opportunity to hurt people to death without being detected. Then the murderer can only be a person, but it is absolutely impossible for a person to bite off another person's neck and cause a blow to death. Then the rest of the possibility, as Xiao Jue said, is that the deceased herself gave up the struggle and let the murderer kill her.

In this way, the murderer should be someone the deceased knows, otherwise anyone will resist in the face of a stranger's attack, in the palace, from time to time there are guards patrolling by, although Harrier Zhu has been in the palace for a short time, but she should know the rigor of the guards in the palace, as long as she shouts loudly, it will definitely attract attention, and it will be difficult for the murderer to succeed.

In this way, the murderer of Harrier Zhu can be roughly locked among the people that Harrier Zhu knows.

"The second deceased, Hui Hui, is the beloved daughter of Lord Chenjin, and the murder of Hui Hui, I suspect that she left a scar on her body." Xiao Jue said, his eyes swept over everyone in the hall, and finally landed on my calf, "After Hui died, the injuries on her body gradually emerged, and some of the injuries were left by the bump, but when she just died, she couldn't see it. At the same time as the discovery of the body of Sue Hui, I think more people's attention should be on the bloody tragedy of the murder scene, some of the scars, such as the direct injuries caused by the bleeding from the skin, will be more noticeable, and what was found later was the bump wounds on the body of the body almost all over the body. And because it takes a certain amount of time for these injuries to appear, they will not be noticed at the time. I was thinking that if it was connected to the torn scalp on the top of her head, she might have been tortured and beaten in the last moments of her life. The wounds on the skin of the body were directly broken, one was a bite wound on the neck, one was a scratch on the arm, and the other was on the leg, both of which were not shallow, but this was most likely caused by the murderer abusing her at the same time, for example, grabbing her hair and knocking her into different places, and then the arms and legs were hit on sharp and hard objects, and the scratches. ”

No wonder he wanted to keep an eye on my calf, it was my inadvertent bump yesterday that made him understand that the deceased may have experienced beatings and abuse in the last moments of his life, which caused those scars.

However, "we blanched and confirmed to Hye's lover, the man who is said to have secretly left the house that night to meet." That night, Zhuofu and his friend Zhao Qin drank in the wine shop to relieve their boredom, and the two of them had been together, and they had never heard of the appointment between Hui and Zhuofu to meet. The owner of the liquor store can prove that they left the liquor store until dawn, and that Hui Hui was found dead in the market before dawn. So I think it's very unlikely that Blanching will commit a crime. Turning my head and seeing that Yun'er seemed to be about to speak and stopped, I deliberately stopped and asked him, "Yun'er, have you noticed anything?" ”

Yun'er was very cautious, "Mother, I ......"

"Yun'er, if you notice something, just say it, now that everyone is discussing the case, you can express your own opinions, even if you say it wrong, it doesn't matter. After all, there are so many people now, and it won't affect individual judgment just because you say something wrong. My brother noticed Yun'er's hesitation, so he pushed Yun'er in front of everyone, "Don't you really want to be like your father and mother, and you can become a person who solves cases like a god?" ”

Yun'er seemed to have made a decision, but he was still inevitably a little worried.

"Say it." I saw that he had been looking at me, so I nodded to him.

Yun'er finally made up her mind and deliberately raised her head, still a little restrained. "Mother, didn't we go to the wine shop yesterday and see the blanched boy and the summoning prince?"

I responded, "Well, so what?" ”

"Yun'er just thinks that the two of them are a little strange." Yun'er has been repeatedly hesitating in her heart about this matter, "Although it can be seen that Zhao Qin Gongzi and the owner of the wine shop are not lying, but before Zhao Qin Gongzi appeared, you were obviously asking Zhuo Gongzi what happened on the night of the crime, and the owner of the wine shop was on the side, but he did not take the initiative to confirm to us that the blanched Gongzi and Zhao Qin Gongzi were drinking in the wine shop until dawn that night." It was later that after Zhao Qin Gongzi arrived, he said about it, and the boss admitted it, what I was thinking about was that the boss's reaction at that time seemed to be a little afraid of Zhao Qin Gongzi, and he didn't take the initiative to say anything related to Zhao Qin Gongzi, is it because of what kind of power is behind Zhao Qin Gongzi, and the owner of the wine shop does not dare to offend? ”

After listening to Yun'er's words, Xiao Jue and I looked at each other and smiled, I reached out and pulled Yun'er in front of me and touched his head. "Yes, you can observe this, which shows that you were having the ultimateness to find out at that time, and you have indeed made progress."

"Mother, did this incident I found out help you?" Yun'er was very proud.

"Actually, Madame noticed it early on, and she has already asked me to confirm the identity of the prince who summoned Qin." Zhuya joked on the side.

Yun'er was a little lonely.

"But what I found is not exactly the same as what you found, the first thing I noticed at the time was that the dress of that Zhao Qin Gongzi was very different from that of a civilian, and the tone and attitude of his speech just happened to show this person's character from the side. And Zhao Qin Gongzi appeared in the liquor store with the most important suspect on the night of the crime, so this must be confirmed. Yun'er and I explained, "And you are not as knowledgeable as your mother's relatives, so use your intuition to find out the demeanor and reactions of the people around you, and find out the flaws." So I took a step slower, and now I know, why did my mother let you learn more, right? ”

Yun'er's self-confidence has regained, and she knows where she lost, although she is unwilling, she is also convinced, nodding her head and continuing to pay attention to our words.
