Chapter 068: The Murderer's Appearance
"She only wears the coarse powder when she sees people during the day, but in the dead of night, she changes to a good powder with a delicate texture." She frowned, "It's late at night, and she should have washed up her lead and prepared for bed, why did she have to dress up again?" ”
The air is filled with the smell of burning atractylodes soaphorn, mugwort leaves, and other substances.
Ruosheng was a little unaccustomed to it, and he avoided it a little.
Su Yu led her to the other side, there was a few tall places in the corner, and a bunch of things were neatly resting on it.
Before the autopsy, regardless of men, women and children, they must first strip off the whole body of clothing, shoes and socks under their feet, and even the jewelry on the women's hair, all of which must be checked and registered one by one. At this moment, these things were all placed on the black lacquer long table in front of Ruosheng's eyes.
The garment was torn, and it was stained with blood and stains.
She glanced at it, and suddenly heard Su Yu ask, "But you're afraid?" ”
The smell of the morgue was very uncomfortable, and although she was not afraid of it, she was still a little stiff. Su Yu was standing next to her, and it was possible to see it. She didn't hide it from him, but said softly: "I'm not afraid, but this smell is in my nose, and it's a little uncomfortable." ”
It's only the beginning of summer, and the weather in Pingzhou is a little colder than in the capital, so Zheng's corpse has only been around for more than one night, and it hasn't rotted badly, but the smell still keeps coming out. Burning atractylodes, soaphorn and other substances was originally to reduce the filthy smell, but when it was smelled in Ruosheng's nose for the first time, this qiē became an inexplicable treachery.
She said she wasn't afraid, but maybe even she couldn't figure out whether she was afraid or not.
Su Yu stretched out his hand wearing white cloth gloves and picked up a hairpin from the long table, which turned out to be golden.
Ruosheng looked at it and was slightly stunned. said: "Judging from the situation of Wu Liang's family, if this is her, it should be hidden from Wu Liang and his two sons." Something at the bottom of the box. After a pause, she pulled her thoughts away from her memories. When I saw her yesterday, she was wearing a hairpin made of silver and wood, which was very cheap. ”
It's just that a thin layer is wrapped on a wooden hairpin, and even if it is purified and sold, it can't be exchanged for a few dollars.
She was more and more confused, and looked down at the torn clothes, realizing that this was not what Zheng had worn when she met him yesterday. It should also be the clothes that Zheng changed into after returning home. Judging by the material and workmanship, this garment should be far more valuable than the hairpin she had issued before, but when she looked closely, she found that it should be some years old, not new, but half-old.
Ruosheng looked at it, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood that these things were probably things that the Zheng family secretly hid when the Wu family was still wealthy.
can be in front of a family gambler. Hiding these things for a few years, she is also a capable person.
"My clothes have been changed, too." Ruosheng is definitely authentic.
Su Yu bowed his head slightly and put down the hairpin in his hand. Then he turned around and went back to see Zheng's body.
When Fang Ruosheng looked at it, the white cloth covering Zheng's body was not exhausted, only his head and face were exposed, and if he wanted to look closely, he would have to expose his entire body.
Wanghu Town's face was embarrassed, as if he didn't dare to look closely.
Ruosheng was also a little embarrassed......
But Su Yu didn't say whether she had finished or not, whether she could walk or not.
She could only watch from the sidelines, but fortunately, she wore a fence on her head, and others couldn't see how embarrassed she was.
"You can wash the body in warm water." Su Yu indifferently ordered to do it.
Tell the word. Hurriedly responded, and after a while, the fat powder and blood stains on Zheng's face were put on his body. All washed clean. Those hideous wounds also suddenly became clear. Even if no one mentions it. Ruosheng also saw the wound in Zheng's heart at a glance.
The skin is open, and I don't know how many times I have been poked, and the flesh and blood are blurred.
That should be a fatal wound.
However, in addition to these wounds, Zheng's * and the pubic gate are also scarred, which is very amazing.
His hands trembled.
But Su Yu's hand was so steady, without a trace of hesitation and panic. He reached out and lifted Zheng's left arm, and the bare wrist became even more eye-catching.
He said in a trembling voice, "My lord, this woman's hands were cut off while she was alive. ”
When Ruosheng listened, he remembered what the guard had said when he came back and reported to him, that there was a large pool of blood on the ground. Naturally, only when a person is alive can shed so much blood from the wounds. Otherwise, just like at this moment, there are so many wounds on Zheng's body, but they will no longer bleed.
After washing away the fat powder and blood stains, the flesh of the corpse, which had been slightly blue, was undoubtedly revealed.
After cooking, the prepared green onions, peppers, salt, white plums and other materials are pounded into minced pieces in a sand basin, and some subtle scars on the corpse are rubbed. After a short while, the traces gradually became clear.
Su Yu looked down and asked in a low voice, "There are no traces of struggle on the previous corpse?" ”
These injuries, large and small, no matter how deep or small, are all evidence of the murder. On Zheng's palm, there were no signs of struggle, and there was dirt and dirt hidden between his fingers, but there was no skin debris, blood or anything beside him.
He replied: "The little one has not found any traces of struggle. ”
Su Yu frowned, looked at the red line on Zheng's mouth carefully, and occasionally asked a few words.
After a long time, he seemed to remember Ruosheng, and suddenly asked, "Can you get a needle?" ”
Ruosheng shook his head in a trance: "It will be ......" But the embroidered peony is like cow dung or something, even the Zhu family can't boast when he sees it, and it can't be regarded as a meeting.
"Gesture, gesture of needle."
Ruosheng was confused, but still followed his words, and made a few volleys.
Su Yu stared intently, and after reading it, he didn't say what it was doing, but only said two words nothingly, "Thank you." ”
After another moment, they were finally heading out of the morgue.
Walking to a place about three or five steps away from the door, Ruosheng wanted to continue to move forward, but he was suddenly lightly clasped on his shoulder, and he couldn't help but stiffen.
He was behind her, took his hand, and said nonchalantly, "Step over the brazier in front of you." ”
Pour vinegar on the charcoal fire on the side.
Ruosheng was puzzled. Carefully lifted her skirt and stepped over.
When you get out, the sun shines down. Su Yucai said: "This is to remove the filthy smell on the body. ”
Ruosheng suddenly gave the ginger slices under his tongue.
Even if you have ginger slices in your mouth, it doesn't affect your speech. But it's not always a pleasant thing, and there is a faint spicy spicy at the base of the tongue.
Hu Qiuniang, who had been waiting, immediately greeted her and asked her quietly, "Girl, are you okay?" ”
At the same time, from the other side, a person came quickly. Seeing Ruosheng, the man was stunned for a moment, and then saw Hu Qiuniang clearly. seemed to react, and immediately bent down at Ruosheng. Ruosheng frowned and nodded, and waited until the person walked to Su Yu before asking Hu Qiuniang in a low voice: "Is it someone you recognize?" ”
Hu Qiuniang also replied in a low voice: "It's Lord Su's little servant." ”
Ruosheng remembered the little girl who jumped at Su Yu by the bridge that day, but she couldn't remember the appearance at all.
She vaguely heard Su Yu calling "Sanqi", and she couldn't help but laugh, what is the name of this?
While they were laughing, the master and servant came over.
Ruosheng noticed that the little guy named Sanqi was very white, and there was sweat on his forehead. A look of horror.
With a white face, he handed over an oiled paper bag to Hu Qiuniang.
Hu Qiuniang looked at Ruosheng suspiciously, and Ruosheng also looked at Su Yu suspiciously.
Su Yu said: "There is no silver, there are buns." ”
Wakasheng: "......"
"There is a vegetarian stuffing. There are also meat fillings, and the small ones went to the other side of Wanghu Town to buy them, and the shop is doing a prosperous business! Sanqi boasted that the business of this steamed bun shop was good and the steamed buns were delicious, but the look on his face was like this hand was not holding a bun, but a monster.
In front of the Yamen morgue to discuss whether the steamed buns taste good or not, Ruosheng also felt weird.
Only Su Yu seemed to be unaware, and Wu Zi opened the oiled paper bag in his hand, took out a bun and took a bite. "Vegetarian stuffing tastes better."
Ruosheng and Hu Qiuniang: "......"
Sanqi hurriedly said, "Hehe, hehehe." The fifth master hasn't eaten since the morning, and I'm afraid I'm already hungry. ”
"I'll try vegetarian food." Ruosheng also hasn't eaten for a day. When you hear the word hungry, you will be really hungry.
Hu Qiuniang took the oiled paper bag in Sanqi's hand in a panic, opened it, picked a hot vegetarian stuffed bun and handed it over.
Then, she and Sanqi were holding bags of buns and looked at the master who was standing under the tree and eating steamed buns with relish, and they both saw the panic in each other's eyes.
Sanqi: "...... My master is usually like this. ”
Hu Qiuniang: "...... My girls are not usually like this. ”
After the two finished speaking in unison, one showed the end of the face, could it be that my master brought the girl's expression badly, and the other showed a bad face, and the girl must not be allowed to be nervous with such a strange person.
At this time, the two people under the tree who were still eating buns without saying a word had already talked about the murderer.
Su Yu leaned his back against the trunk of the tree and calmly analyzed: "The deceased are all powerful women with a hot temperament. After arriving in Wanghu Town, he checked the women who had been killed one by one, "When they were killed, they only had the scars of being beaten, and there were no injuries to resist, which proves that these women, at least at the beginning, had no defense against the murderer." This also shows that the murderer must first be a person who is good at dealing with people, can speak well, and seems to be gentle and kind, and is a person who can make these women lose their guard and approach lightly. ”
Ruosheng listened, and one thing gradually came to her mind, she hesitated and asked: "Wu Liang's father and son, when will they return home, presumably the Zheng family knows it well, she still dresses up at night, it must not be to welcome her husband and son back, and you say that those women are not wary of the murderer, will it be ......?"
- Lover? (To be continued)
ps: Although I write an overhead text, I myself say that I make it up nonsense, and the story is good-looking, but in the process of writing, there is still a lot of information to find, and this part consumes a lot of energy and time, and my code is also slow, so a chapter often has to be written for a long time...... Quality and quantity, if you can't have both, you must choose quality first, but you will still try to update more!! So I won't tell you that you actually have a more than one today~~~ The end of the next chapter~~ Ask for a small powder ~~R655
