CHAPTER IX

"Lord Zuo, I'm not going in, am I? You see that I am a common man in the countryside, I don't understand anything, how can I go in and cause trouble for you? ”

Deng Si'er looked at the curtain of the morgue in front of him, and said hesitantly to Zuo.

It's eerie inside, just standing outside makes Deng Si'er have goosebumps all over his body, and there are a lot of them, which makes Deng Si'er's heart furious.

Deng Si'er was frightened a lot when he found these dry bones, and at this time, his legs and stomach were weak, and he didn't dare to go in.

Zuo Idiot looked at Deng Si'er's palpitating appearance and asked:

"Are you afraid?"

Deng Si'er has never been a person who can hold on, and when he saw Zuo Idiot asking him, he nodded hurriedly, his eyes full of pity and fear.

Zuo Idiot felt that it was reasonable for normal people to be afraid of seeing corpses, and he didn't feel that he was any different from normal people at all, and said:

"You're the first to find these bones, so it's only when you look at them that you can see how they're different from the first time you saw them."

Deng Si'er let out an "ah" with a sad face when he heard the words, and the tail note dragged on for a long time, for fear that Zuo Idiot would not be able to hear the reluctance in his heart.

However, in the end, it was about the cause of death of his father and two elder brothers, Deng Si'er had to look at Zuo Idiot sadly, bold, took a deep breath, but still shook his hand to lift the door curtain.

Seeing this, Zuo Idiot lifted the curtain before Deng Si'er reached over and stepped into the morgue first.

Seeing this, Deng Si'er hurriedly withdrew his hand, patted his chest, and then exhaled a big breath that he had just taken deeply, and followed Zuo Idiot into the morgue.

The bones in the morgue were arranged in three rows, each covered with a white cloth and numbered, from one to seventeen, neatly stacked.

The left idiot has always been rigorous, and at this time, of course, he started to inspect the skeleton numbered "one".

Deng Si'er stood aside and watched, there were only two small windows in the entire morgue, but fortunately, it was almost noon, the light was very sufficient, and the entire morgue was not so dark.

However, Deng Si'er still didn't want to stand in a place where there was no light, so he found an angle and circled around Zuo Idiot, so that he could get in touch with the light coming in from outside next to the skeleton numbered 'One'.

Standing in a good position, Deng Si'er began to learn the appearance of Zuo Idiot, carefully inspecting the difference between the skeleton in front of him.

"Lord Zuo, what do you see?"

Deng Si'er looked at it for a while, but he really didn't find anything different or strange on the bones, so he asked Zuo Idiot curiously.

Zuo Idiot also shook his head and said:

"You see, except for the bones in these places, there are signs of splintering, and nothing else is unusual."

"Also, it's been so long, and it's normal for these bones to dry up like this, and to break."

Deng Si'er looked at the place of the left idiot's finger and said while nodding.

"You're not right." Zuo Idiot said.

Deng Si'er turned his head to look at Zuo Idiot suspiciously.

"That's not what I said, although bones can also decay, they rarely break when buried in the soil, and even if they are not buried in the soil, but the bones that have been exposed to the wind and the sun, after a long time, they can be turned into powder, and this kind of shattering will hardly occur."

"Oh! I see, so what you mean by fragmentation is artificial? Deng Si'er thought for a while and continued:

"Since it's man-made, I don't think it's even more strange, you think, who would wait for someone else to kill him? Ordinary people will definitely resist, and in a fight, it is normal for bones to be broken and broken, right? ”

Zuo Idiot nodded, feeling that Deng Si'er's brain was indeed very flexible, and said:

"You're right, that's why I didn't find anything. After all, only these bones remained, and the flesh had long since decayed and turned into nothing. ”

"What about the others? Lord Zuo, have you seen the other bones before? ”

Deng Si'er asked.

"That's right, I've seen it all, I came here the day before yesterday and inspected these bones with the servants in the county government, and there were no major finds, no clues at all."

Zuo Idiot thought that this was probably the most difficult case he had taken on until now.

"Then do you still have to watch the rest?"

Deng Si'er thought that since he hadn't found anything, he should leave quickly.

Seeing Deng Si'er in a hurry to leave, Zuo Idiot thought that since he hadn't found out, he couldn't be in a hurry, so he nodded and said:

"It's okay if you don't want to read it, there's no clue anyway. By the way, when I inspected it the day before yesterday, I found that the skull of a skeleton was also broken, so I was a little concerned, I want to ask you, you saw a broken skull at that time? ”

Deng Si'er suddenly seemed to be poured a bucket of cold water on his head, and he really made a clever move, and said:

"What! That's what I accidentally stepped on! Otherwise, how could I have found dead human bones buried in the ground! ”

"I see. That's fine, and since you don't want to stay here, let's go. Zuo Idiot nodded and said.

Deng Si'er said busily:

"That's it, let's go, I'll go."

As he spoke, Deng Si'er pushed the idiot who was blocking in front of him, and at the same time read some messy things in his mouth, driving away evil spirits or something.

Deng Si'er pushed Zuo Idiot to the door, and when his eyes were rolling, he was suddenly flashed by something reflective, Deng Si'er was stunned and stopped.

Seeing that Deng Si'er suddenly did not shout and left, but stopped in place, he turned around and asked curiously:

"Deng Si'er, what's wrong with you?"

"You wait."

As he spoke, Deng Si'er stood in place, turning his head, turning his head, turning his head, turning his head, turning back, back and forth several times, and the left idiot on the side was even more inexplicable.

"That's right, this is it!"

Deng Si'er said, regardless of whether he was afraid of those bones, stepped forward and walked up to a skeleton numbered 'three', pointing to the throat of this skeleton, and calling Zuo Idiot to come over and take a look.

"What?"

Zuo Idiot walked over and looked at the place where Deng Si'er pointed his finger, and he didn't find anything for a long time, so he asked suspiciously.

"Oops! You stand up a little bit, blocking the light. ”

Deng Si'er pulled Zuo Idiot to himself and stretched out his finger to show Zuo Idiot.

"This is"

When Zuo Idiot saw it, he immediately leaned down and took a closer look.

"Is this a knife mark?"

It turned out that the skeleton numbered 'three' had a very fine trace at the throat, and if it weren't for the clever position of Deng Si'er's standing, which happened to be reflective, it really wouldn't have been found.

"Knife marks? It looks like. However, swords and the like should be able to draw this kind of trace, right? ”

Deng Si'er heard that Zuo Idiot said that it was a knife mark, so he also said.

Zuo Idiot shook his head, pointed to the fine mark, and said:

"It's not sword marks, it's knife marks. If a sword is used, the marks should be flat and even. But with a knife is different, the blade is thin and thick, and the marks are like this, thick and thin. ”

"Huh! Really! ”

Deng Si'er took a closer look and said in surprise.

"It seems that this skeleton should have been fatally cut by a throat."

Zuo Idiot analyzed and said, suddenly, he thought of something, frowned and raised his head and said to Deng Si'er:

"You go and see if the other bones have such traces."

Deng Si'er saw that Zuo Idiot looked serious, and without thinking much about it, he hurriedly opened them one by one to take a closer look.

"This one has!"

"This one too!"

"It's all over here!"

Deng Si'er exclaimed as he watched, and ran back to look at the row of bones that Zuo Idiot was inspecting.

Zuo Idiot looked solemn, looked at Deng Si'er and said in a deep voice:

"There's it too!"

"Then all seventeen of them are"

Deng Si'er pointed to the bones with a trembling hand and muttered.

"That's right, a throat cut is deadly!"
