Chapter 33: The Female Corpse and the Sister-in-law
The crowd kept their faces composed, for they saw the head of the corpse, and sure enough, there was a corpse within the wall.
Jin You and Wang Wu were digging underneath with their bodies, so they didn't see it, and the soil on it was quite funny, but no one would laugh.
"Dig carefully now, you can already see the head of the corpse." Chen Renhe commanded.
After saying that, Jin You and Wang Wu changed from rough work to fine work, and the speed of conversion was staggering.
Shen Yigui couldn't help but ask: "Did Wang Wu and Jinyou cooperate ......" robbing the tomb, this sentence was vetoed by himself before he said it, how is this possible, one is the "right-hand man" of the government, and the other is the personal servant of the prince, how can it be related.
Xie Changan saw that he didn't finish his words, so he said suspiciously: "Huh? What's wrong? ”
Shen Yigui shook his head and said nothing.
As they spoke, the two men had already dug up, and the bodies were exposed. It was framed entirely in the wall, and the body was unspoiled, intact. Visually, it is probably a female corpse, and it should have been dead for a long time, and the stench is really great.
"You guys get her out slowly, don't break it." Chen Renhe said again.
Just looking at the two of them, they took out a pair of gloves from their pockets and put them on, and then touched the corpse with their hands.
Jin You glanced at Wang Wu, which was full of appreciation, yes, when they took the tool, Wang Wu handed him a glove, and told him that it was definitely useful. Jin You didn't want to accept it, thinking that he wouldn't use it, but he couldn't resist him, so he stuffed it to his chest casually, but he didn't expect it...... The slap in the face came so quickly.
After all, Wang Wu has also followed them for many years, and naturally knows a lot of things, which is simply trivial.
They slowly lowered the body to the ground so that they could straighten up and stretch out.
Chen Renhe squatted down and looked at the female corpse, only to see that the female corpse was dressed in red, and on her head was a wind crown, shining in the sun, just like a bride.
Her hands lay limply on the ground, as if she had been stripped of a bone.
His mouth was also bitten off, and his expression was frightened and painful, and he didn't know what terrible things he had experienced before he died.
He said, "Has anyone lost a girl recently?" ”
Shen Yigui replied: "I haven't heard this kind of news in the past few days, you say, will this female corpse be related to Fusang, after all, this is his house, if there is a foul smell here, it is still obvious that there is something inside." ”
Xie Changan also squatted down, and then denied Shen Yigui's words: "I shouldn't know, do you remember, Fusang said that he was preparing to resurrect his sister at his sister-in-law's house a few days ago." And that's what happened these days. ”
"Then could this female corpse be Fusang's sister Fuchan?" Xu Nian made a bold guess.
"But their family's money shouldn't be able to support the beads on her body, any one of them is enough for them to live for a lifetime. Then why don't they find a new place to live, and stay here and be called a disaster? Shen Yigui said.
This sentence made a lot of sense, and Xu Nian stopped talking.
Chen Renhe sighed: "I originally wanted to see if there were more clues related to my sister-in-law here, but I didn't expect it to be another unsolved case." ”
"There must be some connection between these things, the strange village, Fuchan's death, Fusang's accident, the woman in the Western Regions, and this nameless female corpse. What's the connection? Xie Changan lowered his head and thought.
Shen Yigui said lightly: "Big man ......"
By the way, I talked about raising the forbidden belly earlier, but there are a lot of related things, but I don't know where to find it.
The court and the harem are related, and the officials are related, and they affect the whole body, if they are not completely sure, everyone dare not easily touch the interests of these people, and if they do well, they may not be famous and passed down through the ages, and if they do not do well, they must be broken and forgotten. It's a thankless job, and someone is willing to do it.
But it just so happens that this group of people is not afraid of these, but is full of fighting spirit. Especially Chen Renhe, although he is pedantic and often talks about the scene, he still claims justice in his bones, although it is troublesome to encounter this kind of thing, he will not treat it as if he didn't see it, so he will continue to investigate.
Shen Yigui also expressed his determination: "I have never been afraid of this, otherwise how could I achieve the position of Lord Shaoqing with my own strength." ”
Yes, Shen Yigui has a father who is a scholar of the Zhengyi Palace, but he can really rely on his own ability to achieve this position, and his father just plays the role of a stepping stone.
Xu Nian also said: "Jian Jian is here to investigate the case, and besides, I am alone, so I don't have anything to worry about." I also agree to continue the investigation and let the grievances of these people be made public. ”
Her face was pale, her posture was graceful, her red mouth moved up and down, and the words she uttered were so blood-boiling. Now she is not Xu Nian, but she really sees herself as simple, a simple person who can only handle cases.
Xie Changan and Shen Yigui both looked at Xu Nian with deep eyes, both with a hint of appreciation. This little girl is very special, Shen Yigui thought to himself.
Xie Changan is different, he has always known that Xu Nian is different from other women.
Zhu Ji was also infected by their atmosphere next to him, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, he glanced at Xu Nian, and secretly looked at Xie Chang'an, it was really cute and tight.
Jin You and Wang Wu are big men, so naturally what they do, they just follow. Cangwu was sent by Shen Yigui to do something else early in the morning.
Now the atmosphere between the people has never been more harmonious than before. Maybe they can really be each other's best buddies.
"Then let's go to my sister-in-law's house first, or find out who the identity of this corpse is?" Xu Nian asked.
Chen Renhe said: "No. Wang Wu, you take this female corpse back, show it to Si Bai, and then ask Wang San and Wang Si to go to Jingshi City to investigate. Let's go to my sister-in-law's house, and if the woman is there, we will take her back to the palace, and today's task is almost complete. ”
Everyone had no opinion and went their separate ways.
On the road.
Shen Yigui was still standing beside Xu Nian, and he asked Xu Nian: "Your tracking techniques were all taught by your father?" ”
Xu Nian lowered his eyebrows: "Yes, my father started teaching me when I was eight years old, and at that time I thought it was very funny so I didn't refuse, and I studied until I was ten years old, but I never had the opportunity to learn again." She looked calm, but she could still tell from her eyebrows that she was missing.
"Every year, you are good, my father taught you this in the hope that you also have a skill, I don't want you to stay in the world forever like an ordinary woman." A middle-aged handsome man was talking to Xu Nian when he was a child, and this man seemed to be Xu Nian's father, Xu Zhizhou.
Xu Nian wore an ingot, a silver hairpin, and a small hairball hanging on it, and shook it when she walked, because it was winter, she was dressed like a ball.
Xiao Xu Nian snorted and smiled, revealing his mouth that had just changed his teeth, which was cute and lovely, and it made people feel distressed.
"Daddy, mother, I want my mother to hug me."
Xu Zhizhou smiled lovingly, pinched Xu Nian's cheek, and said jokingly: "If you don't learn this today, your mother won't hug you." ”
Xiao Xu Nian was aggrieved, her eyes were a little red, and she pouted: "Daddy, Daddy, you lie to people, my mother won't listen to you, I'll go to my mother to hug me." After saying that, he drooped his ears, and the two little short legs ran and ran, and almost fell. He also shouted bad daddy.
Xu Zhizhou laughed and said loudly: "Little Xu Nian is crying nose, don't fall, it hurts carefully." ”
Xiao Xu Nian ignored him and went to his mother's side to be coquettish: "Mother, you want to hug." ”
An Yang's long hair reached her waist, her thin waist was not in her hand, her skin was like clotted fat, and she didn't look like a person who was almost thirty years old. Because Xu Nian was born late, she is also older.
She smiled softly, picked Xu Nian up, put her on her lap, and said close to Xu Nian's ear: "Did Nian Nian make Daddy angry?" Didn't he teach you the second form of tracking again? ”
Xiao Xu Nian buried his face in Anyang's chest and said: "I don't want to learn anymore, I learned the first form yesterday for a long time, and I am tired every year, and I want to rest today." Mother, can you tell Daddy about today's rest. Because the sentences she said were too long, Xiao Xu Nian struggled to speak, she was intermittent, and her pale little face turned red.
An Yang patted Xiao Xu Nian's back, her body shook slightly, and she said, "Nian Nian, do you want to go to a lot of places?" ”
"I want to go! Mother, are you willing to take me out? Xu Nian raised his head and said in surprise, his eyes shining as if there were stars in them.
An Yang smiled again: "If you want to go, you can go by yourself every year, and you can go wherever you want every year after learning your skills." ”
Xiao Xu Nian was motivated: "Okay, I'll go to study, like my father and mother, and go to many, many places by myself." She jumped down from Anyang's arms and swore an oath, humming "Mother, I don't want my mother to hug me in the future, I want to be good." ”
An Yang burst into tears: "Okay, I'm really good every year, I hope you can always be so happy." ”
Unexpectedly, Xu Nian really didn't want Anyang to hug again, and he would seriously learn tracking techniques every day.
Xu Nian thought of these things, but he still couldn't help laughing, Shen Yigui kept looking at her like this, Xu Nian didn't react, he said, "Easy? Simple, what do you think about anymore, it's already there. They all went in. ”
Xu Nian came back to his senses and smiled lightly: "Well, Brother Shen." ”
This Xu Nian seems to be different, as if he has motivation, Shen Yigui thought to himself.
Although Xie Changan was handling the case very seriously, thinking that Shen Yigui and Xu Nian were getting closer and closer, his silver teeth were eager to be crushed.
But he can't do anything, Xu Nian already doesn't like him very much, and he can't wipe out the good feeling he just had. So he tried his best to resist the urge to fight against Shen Yigui.
The sister-in-law's house was even more shabby, even more dilapidated than an ordinary homestay, as if it had been built like this, so that it was not so eye-catching.
"Come and see these things." Chen Renhe pointed to a table and said.
They gathered, all looking at the items on the table.
There were many strange things on the table, but some were barely recognizable.
Some hair, fingernails, and divination, tortoise shells, and things like that. In particular, there are some bottles and cans, I don't know what is in them, and they are very fragrant.
At this time, Jinyou came in handy again, he didn't take it, for fear of destroying this thing, he just leaned over and smelled it, he took a few sips lightly, and then said: "It's also a spice from the Western Regions, it comes from a place, the taste is different, and there is one thing I don't quite understand." ”
He pointed to a dark blue crockpot and said, "That's it." ”
Xie Changan went to smell that: "I haven't smelled this smell either, you come and smell it." ”
