Chapter 147: Sphenoid Skull
Zhan Yan freed his hand and immediately took the jar in Hua Zilai's hand to take a closer look. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Hua Zilai handed over the altar to Zhanyan, he felt that there seemed to be one less person in the room of the three, and when he raised his eyes to look around, he saw Yin Seventeen, who was standing with his nose pinched from a long distance, and said:
"Seventeen, what are you doing so far away? Come over and help find out what's in this jar! β
Yin Seventeen shook his head and said, "Don't look at it, in addition to the smell, there is also a bit of vinegar in it!" Just let Brother Zhan take a look, he will definitely be able to see it! β
Hua Zi looked at the jar that Zhanyan was holding in his hand, learned to pinch his nose and then glanced at the jar, and seemed to deliberately let go of his nose and sniffed it, and said strangely:
"Why do I only smell the stench, not the vinegar?"
Zhan Yan said: "Seventeen's sense of smell is the best among us, she said yes, that is." β
Hua Zilai's eyes widened and asked Zhanyan, "You smell it too?" β
Zhan Yan shook his head.
Although Zhan Yan didn't smell it, he absolutely believed in Yin Seventeen's judgment.
Hua Zilai almost rolled his eyes to show his face, but he still held back, mainly because he didn't dare, so he only dared to turn it silently in his heart.
Ye Ziluo heard what Zhan Yan said, but he glanced at Zhan Yan deeply in a meaningful way, and Zhan Yan realized Ye Ziluo's gaze, so he turned his eyes to meet it.
The two of them only looked at each other for half a breath, and then they tacitly looked away from each other, so quickly that the flower on their side did not notice anything unusual.
Although Yin Seventeen didn't want to get close to the strange stinky altar, she was an official errand, so she naturally had to investigate the case, so after talking to Hua Zi, she walked to the corner of the courtyard where Hua Zilai found the altar, and naturally did not take the abnormal spark of Zhan Yan and Ye Ziluo into her eyes for a moment.
Zhan Yan saw that there was no light in the courtyard, and the light of the lantern was very limited, so he proposed to go to Yu Guangnian's house and light the oil lamp.
Yu Guangnian and Yu, who had just woken up, naturally had no opinion, so they hurriedly went to the hall to pick up the oil lamp that was already lit brighter, and took out the spare oil lamp and lit it together, and put it on the table in the middle of the hall.
After the flowers were ready, they walked to the hall with their faces.
The leaves fell, but they didn't respond, and walked straight to the corner of the yard.
Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai didn't say anything when they saw this, only Hua Zilai chattered and said, "Why does Brother Ye care so much about Seventeen, there must be something greasy", and later saw Zhan Yan ignore him, Hua Zilai also stopped talking, and carefully studied the things that had been placed in the jar on the table by Zhan Yan with Zhan Yan.
There were many miscellaneous items piled up in the corner of the courtyard where Yin Seventeen was, and she couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the messy mess with a lantern, although she was not afraid of dirty, but such a pile of miscellaneous items did make it difficult for Yu Guangnian and his wife to notice for a while that there was suddenly a small jar in the already chaotic mess.
In this way, there is no doubt that a clue that can be found along the vine is lost.
When Ye Ziluo walked to Yin Seventeen's side, he happened to hear her sigh, and couldn't help but propose:
"After I've cleaned up the clutter, you'll come back and check it out."
Yin Seventeen is grateful to Ye Ziluo for making this proposal to her, but some clues are discovered in some unexpected process, and she must do it herself:
"No, you don't."
Seeing that the leaves were falling, he wanted to say more, but Yin Seventeen had no choice but to say again:
"If you really want to help me, then help me carry the lantern."
The leaves couldn't fall, so he took the lantern in Yin Seventeen's hand and helped shine it on the pile of debris.
Yin Seventeen carefully cleaned up the debris one by one, but found nothing, but after all the debris was cleared, she found that the soil on the ground was a little strange.
Yu Guangnian's house is the same as the Yin Seventeen family, most of the vacant land has been opened into planting land, but the Yin Seventeen family is used to plant herbs, and Yu Guangnian's family is used to grow vegetables, with a red brick path in the middle divided into two sides, one side is a small vegetable garden, and the other side is placed by Yu Guangnian and his wife Some daily utensils, and the corner where Yin Seventeen is located is a pile of semi-abandoned sundries.
Yin Seventeen squatted down on the cleared ground, and picked up the soil on the ground with his hands:
"This soil is a little loose......"
Ye Ziluo squatted down beside Yin Seventeen incomprehensibly, looked at the ground for a while, and Fang somewhat understood what Yin Seventeen wanted to express:
"You mean the soil has been moved?"
Yin Seventeen nodded and said, "Ziluo, you go find a shovel and dig up this place!" β
After Ye Ziluo handed the lantern in his hand to Yin Seventeen to hold, he found a shovel in the courtyard that Yu Guangnian and his wife used to plant vegetables on weekdays, and began to dig up a little loose soil in the place pointed out by Yin Seventeen.
After digging about two feet deep, he dug up a black jar, and Ye threw down the shovel to take the black jar out of the pit, and put it on the ground.
"Another jar, but this big jar is much larger than the small jar that the Hua brothers found, almost worth four or five."
Yin Seventeen said: "That's true. β
After answering the words of the leaves, Yin Seventeen stood up and began to move away from the big jar, wanting to pinch his nose again, but as soon as he raised his hand to his nose, he smelled the strange smell of debris on his fingers, so he put down his hand again.
After stuffing the lantern into the hand of the leaf, Yin Seventeen walked a few more steps away:
"Ziluo, you open the big jar and see what's inside."
Ye Ziluo looked at Yin Seventeen's actions, and felt that the things in the big jar were probably the same as the small jar, which must be smelly, and he couldn't help but be mentally prepared, but after holding a lantern in one hand and slapping the lid of the big jar with the other, he still let the things in the big jar jump away immediately, and jumped away directly ten steps away.
Glancing at Yin Seventeen, who was ten steps away from him, Ye Ziluo didn't know why, and suddenly laughed:
"Brother Zhan said that your sense of smell is the best among us, and at first I didn't believe it, thinking it was just him...... I didn't expect it to be true! β
That's just showing his face, Ye Ziluo only stopped halfway through speaking, and it was a little weird in Yin Seventeen's ears, and asked:
"Do you think Brother Zhan is praising me?"
Ye Ziluo smiled and said nothing, obviously not wanting to answer, so he changed the topic and said:
"I'm going to see what's in there that stinks."
Ye Ziluo almost said that he missed his mouth and avoided talking about it later, which made Yin Seventeen feel even more that Ye Ziluo and Zhanyan must have something to hide from her.
Ye Ziluo endured the smell of the stench and bent down in front of the big altar, carrying a lantern to let its light shine into the mouth of the altar, and he looked at it carefully.
After taking a few breaths, Ye Ziluo straightened up in horror and took a step back.
Yin Qiqi has been watching Ye Ziluo's movements, naturally she didn't miss this abnormality, she couldn't help but care about the nose that went straight into her nose and stimulated her sense of smell at all times, approached Ye Ziluo and asked:
"What's wrong?"
While asking, Yin Seventeen also wanted to take a look inside the big altar, but let Ye Ziluo pull his arm and stop it:
"Don't look! There's ...... You better stop looking! β
What was in there, Ye Ziluo didn't know if he was afraid of scaring Yin Seventeen, or if he couldn't say anything, so he couldn't say it anymore after saying it halfway, and stopped her from going forward to see.
Yin Seventeen was not embarrassed by Ye Ziluo, and immediately wanted to shake off Ye Ziluo's hand to see it clearly, but Ye Ziluo didn't let go, she couldn't help but look at Ye Ziluo with a pretty face and said:
"Who do you think I am?!"
Who is she?
Ye Ziluo instantly understood the meaning of what Yin Seventeen deliberately said to him - she Yin Seventeen was not the daughter of a family who was raised in the deep boudoir, but a little fast hand in the Yali of Hongsha County!
If it weren't for Yin Seventeen's reminder, Ye Ziluo would almost forget that before he found her, she lived alone with Granny Tao for five years, and even became a fast hand in the Hongsha County Yali, that is, she became an official errand, so there would be less case handling, let alone some murder cases.
And the murder case, naturally, those bloody and brutal scenes are indispensable!
Ye Ziluo figured it out, so he also let go of his hand, but reminded in a deep voice:
"What's inside the big jar...... Be prepared! β
As soon as Ye Ziluo let go, Yin Seventeen immediately took the lantern that shook a few times in his hand because of Ye Ziluo's sudden retreat, and then shone it into the mouth of the altar, and when she saw clearly what was contained in the big jar, she couldn't help but take two steps back, and even her right hand holding the lantern couldn't stop shaking.
Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai gathered around the table, both standing and staring at the turbid and viscous liquid in the small jar, while Yu Guangnian and his wife were completely sleepy, and they also stood aside and waited for the result.
In addition, Yu Guangnian and his wife were obviously a little cramped and uneasy, especially Yu, she pulled Yu Guangnian to a corner of the hall, and whispered to Yu Guangnian with a shocked face:
"Light years, it's almost ...... time"
Yu Guangnian shook Yu's cold hand and comforted:
"It's okay, there are a lot of people in the family tonight, and they are still officials of the Yamen, and the swords in the sheaths of the poor men are all stained with blood, and they are murderous, and they may not be able to ...... fingers."
Although Zhan Yan was focused on what was in the small jar, he still kept an eye on the movements around him, and although the conversation between Yu Guangnian and his wife was quiet, most of it also drifted into his ears indistinctly.
Just as Zhan Yan turned around to ask what was going on, Yin Seventeen rushed into the hall with an ugly expression, and contrary to her previous posture of staying away for fear of the smell, she strode close to the small jar on the table, and looked at the contents of the small jar seriously.
Yin Seventeen's abnormality made Zhan Yan put aside for the time being that he wanted to ask Yu Guangnian and his wife about the matter, and after looking at Yin Seventeen, who was looking intently at the things in the small jar, he also looked at the mouth of the small jar again.
Hua Zilai also looked at Yin Seventeen strangely, especially Yin Seventeen's expression was not very good, he couldn't help asking:
"Seventeen, what else did you find in the yard?"
Hua Zilai is not stupid, thinking that Fang Cai Yin Seventeen still has an expression of not being close to the small jar when he is killed in the courtyard, how can after checking the corner of the courtyard where he found the small jar, he has become brave and not afraid of the smell, he naturally thought that there must be some clues found in the corner of the courtyard.
Zhan Yan also had this doubt in his heart, but when he saw Yin Seventeen looking at the mouth of the altar intently, he didn't make a sound to disturb Yin Seventeen, so Hua Zilai's question didn't wait for Yin Seventeen's answer, so he asked him not to make a sound.
Hua Zilai will come to his senses, and the heart Dao Yin Seventeen must have found out, but this will have to check something to confirm, and immediately return to show his face a move that he immediately silenced.
Ye Ziluo then entered the hall, and his face was also quite unsightly, but Zhan Yan and Hua Zilai were both waiting for Yin Seventeen to make a final confirmed answer at the moment, so no one paid attention to him.
Ye Ziluo stood on the inside of the threshold and waited, not near the table in the middle of the room.
The size of the small jar is about twice that of the hand stove, and the mouth of the altar is only the size of a large meat bun.
"Brother Hua, help me get a pair of chopsticks!"
Hua Zilai was shouted by Yin Seventeen, and subconsciously responded, and then after hearing Yin Seventeen's words, he immediately walked outside the hall and went to the kitchen of Yu Guangnian's house.
As early as when he searched Yu Guangnian's house, Hua Zilai had a clear understanding of all the houses in Yu Guangnian's house, so it was not difficult for him to go to the kitchen.
Yu Guangnian and his wife looked at each other on the side, and finally did not say anything.
After a while, Hua Zilai took a pair of dark wood-colored chopsticks.
Yin Qiqi took it and stretched the chopsticks into the small jar, stirred it in the turbid and thick liquid for a while, and then pinched out a white hard lump.
Hua Zilai immediately exclaimed: "What is this?" β
Yin Seventeen looked at the white hard lump for a long time, and Zhan Yan also looked at it for a long time, and the flowers couldn't tell what it was, but the leaves standing by the door fell like Yin Seventeen, and he faintly guessed something.
And Yin Seventeen and Ye Ziluo will guess something, all because of the big jar that the two of them just dug up from the corner of the courtyard.
Yin Seventeen said: "This white lump is shaped like a butterfly, if I guess correctly......"
Listening to Yin Seventeen's description, Hua Zilai took a closer look at the white hard lump in her hand, and it was indeed like a butterfly with wings ready to fly, as she said.
Ye Ziluo heard that he had determined the result of his conjecture in his heart.
Zhan Yan also heard something strange, he carefully looked at the white hard lump caught by the chopsticks in Yin Seventeen's hand, and finally said:
"Seventeen, you're trying to say that maybe it's the sphenoid bone on a human skull?"
Zhanyan's guess, when Hua Zilai heard it, he already shouted loudly:
"What?!"
Zhan Yan glanced sideways at the startled flower, and then looked at Yin Seventeen, only to see Yin Seventeen nodded and said:
"I'm right in guessing so, but to determine whether it is or not, we have to rely on the examination of Shi Qizuo and Zhen Wenpo, together with the bones of the corpse hidden in the big jar in the courtyard!"
In Zhanyan's slightly frightened eyes and Hua Zilai's already speechless eyes, Yin Seventeen briefly told her and Ye Zi about the big jar dug up in the corner of the courtyard.
Yin Seventeen said: "The bones were buried in the ground in a big jar, and the bones were all there, but only the head was missing, so I thought of this small jar that was discovered by Brother Hua first!" β
Since the big jar can hold a corpse, then the small jar must also be able to hold a head, and the smell that is enough to scorch the sky is naturally the smell of corpses!
