In order to maintain the integrity of Ma Anbang's entire body, the entire room of the morgue was covered with thickened black cloth to prevent it from being exposed to the sun.

and used moisture-proof pine wood to make the bed, so that the corpse would not be damp, although this Xue Luping drank too much last night, but it was also after everything was done.

And Ma Anbang is the first resident of the Yangzhou Mansion morgue, and those people before him were either like the last fire case for their families to claim, or they were buried directly on the spot, I don't know if this is a glorious ancestor.

Obviously, Xue Luping wanted to prevaricate that day, saying that he would wait until the two highnesses arrived, and then put this matter on hold for a while, and after a while, even if Ma Anbang was in this morgue, the corpse would not be much better, so it would naturally save a lot of trouble, and he didn't like Ma Anbang very much!

But unfortunately, His Royal Highness Xianwang, who didn't know where to go, had actually returned today, and Xi Yuanxiu, who made him have a bad seizure and a headache, also arrived.

That year, the salt farm implemented the new policy of Xuanping Hou Chai Song, no longer drying salt by the government, but summoning local people to pay subsidies, but the salt farm under the rule of Yangzhou, Xue Luping did not intend to do this.

Because he himself had too many people to resettle, the Salt and Iron Division of the Salt and Iron Division at that time was a mediocre person who looked forward to Xue Luping, and Xue Luping controlled all government affairs in Yangzhou.

But Xi Yuanxiu ridiculed him fiercely when he arrived at the salt field in Linlao City, and said that his mind was not as good as the paste that was used to paste couplets at home during the Chinese New Year, and the paste could also paste couplets, and his head was simply a pot of porridge with everything added to it, and it was a mess.

However, because of the relationship between the Marquis of Anding, Xue Luping couldn't turn his face on the spot, so he had to do something about Xi Yuanxiu's monthly salary.

And this ugly-looking Xue Luping Xue Governor finally tidied up the messy clothes on his body after entering the morgue, and under Xi Yuanxiu's kind reminder, he sent someone to notify the prince to come over.

After Li Yuanhuan entered the morgue, he was in a hurry, but he didn't want to wait for a moment, he directly lifted the white cloth covering the corpse with his hand, thinking that he wanted to catch up with the prince.

And first of all, what caught everyone's eye was Ma Anbang's face with a slight beard, which was pale because of excessive blood loss.

Then on the right side of Ma Anbang's neck, there was a suffocating wound, in order to maintain the integrity of the body, Ma Anbang's body was not wiped at that time, so the blood stains that had been dried up were still sticking to his body.

Because Zhou Wenbin was the first person to rush to Ma Anbang's house, under his explanation, Ma Anbang's body was turned over by two officials, and there was a wound on his back, which happened to be nailed to the back of the heart, which shows that he is a veteran!

Li Yuanhuan stared at these two terrifying wounds, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It seems that the murderer first stabbed the chest in the back, and then stabbed the neck with a second knife. ”

Xue Luping asked with some doubts: "Your Highness, how do you know that you stabbed the chest first and then stabbed the neck?" ”

"Foolish thing!" Without waiting for Li Yuanhuan to speak, Zhou Wenbin spoke first to teach him a lesson: "If you stab it directly in the neck, you won't need a second knife!" ”

Xue Luping was unusual, he didn't fight back, he just glared at Zhou Wenbin twice, probably because of what happened in the courtyard before, so that he was currently not very good in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Offering King, so he didn't have any face to argue with Zhou Wenbin.

Xi Yuanxiu also agreed with Li Yuanhuan's point of view, but he found an interesting thing, since the murderer was able to kill Ma Anbang without knowing it, he did not dispose of his body.

It stands to reason that Ma Anbang has no official position now, even if he is buried, it will take a few more days to be discovered, and the important thing is that according to Zhou Wenbin, Ma Anbang doesn't even have a family member, so how was he found dead at home?

Then it means that someone wants everyone to see, but who will it be, first of all, it can't be the people of the Salt Gang, and now the Salt Gang is just going to keep the limelight closed, it's too late to hide from it, how dare you kill people again!

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Xue Luping, who didn't have a good face on the side, and then shook his head, it can't be this, although Xue Luping is usually not very good, but he is not that kind of person, otherwise Zhu Wuye would not be the Liangcheng who was assigned!

Who else wants Ma Anbang to die?

What good will Ma Anbang do if he is dead?

Or maybe it's the Salt Gang, doing the opposite, making the clues blurred!

Xi Yuanxiu half-squatted on the side of the bed, and after carefully observing the corpse, he said: "Obviously, there is no clue about the private salt case when examining the corpse of Ma Shoubei, I can only know that the other party is a thin man, who should use two daggers, and is good at concealment, but there are too many such people in the rivers and lakes, not to mention hundreds, but there are always dozens of them!" ”

Xue Luping found that it was Xi Yuanxiu who was speaking at this time, and he couldn't help but snort coldly, but he also knew that the relationship between this person and King Xian was also very good, so he just asked in a questioning tone: "Why did Xi Zhixian say this, how did you know that the murderer was a thin man, and he used two knives?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu looked at Xue Luping and said seriously: "First of all, a woman would not use a dagger of this width!" ”

Then he pointed to the wound behind him, and then said, "Because as far as the wound is concerned, the handle of this dagger is not very easy for a woman to use, and it is too wide!" ”

Zhou Wenbin looked at the place where Xi Yuanxiu pointed and asked, "How can you know the shape of this person?" ”

Xi Yuanxiu began to explain again: "Because you are also a person who practices martial arts, if you directly stab with internal force, you will be discovered by the other party, as far as I know, Ma Shoubei's kung fu was not bad during his lifetime, so this person will definitely be discovered by Ma Shoubei when he uses internal force, if the murderer only uses arm strength, it will be different, because he did not use internal force, and the murderer is relatively thin, so he did not kill Ma Anbang at once, and then there was a second knife!" ”

"And the murderer is still left-handed!"

Xi Yuanxiu's words made Zhou Wenbin and Xue Luping even more confused, and even Li Yuanhuan looked at Xi Yuanxiu with some surprise.

They felt that just knowing these clues was already extraordinary, except for those who had been deep in this for more than ten years, ordinary people couldn't see any difference at all, and Xi Yuanxiu even knew which hand the murderer was used to, which was almost comparable to Jing Zhaoyin's Lord Zhao.

Xi Yuanxiu pulled up his cuffs, smiled at the three of them, and then explained: "Because the murderer's first knife was directly inserted into the left back, and the second knife was pierced from the right side of the back of the neck, let's imagine, if you use your right hand to pierce the back of the heart, then the left hand must be in the left back of the neck, or the left side of the stab!" ”

After Xi Yuanxiu finished speaking, everyone understood, and Xue Luping also gestured with his hand a few times, and found that this was indeed the case, but the resentment on his face still did not go down.

Li Yuanhuan said with admiration: "My brother is really knowledgeable, but I didn't expect that this ability to judge the case and perform the autopsy is so good!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu shook his head a little disappointed and said, "But this is not helpful in this case, so I still want to ask the prefect to lead the way, and let a few of us go to see the prisoners who were assassinated at the same time that day!" ”

Li Yuanhuan touched the jade bead on his waist, nodded, turned his head to look at Xue Luping, and motioned for him to lead the way to the medical center where he was treated, to see Zhao Benliu.

When everyone was about to go out, Li Yuanhuan leaned on Xue Luping's ear and whispered, "What else did Lord Xue find on the day of the crime?" Can you talk about this king first! ”

Xue Luping suddenly felt like he had been stung in the face by a bee, and his expression changed slightly, but he was not noticed by Li Yuanhuan, and he also replied in a low voice: "If you go back to Your Highness, the lower officials will not find anything, and even if there is, the lower officials will report it as soon as possible." ”

After Li Yuanhuan listened to Xue Luping's words, he couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy, and hummed softly, but the expression on Xue Luping's face was clearly seen by Xi Yuanxiu.

After everyone casually commented on the simplicity of the Yangzhou Mansion, they soon came to the door of the Mansion, and Xi Yuanxiu saw Liu Xiao squatting at the door looking at the ground in a daze.

Xi Yuanxiu walked over quietly, patted him on the shoulder, and patted Liu Xiao back in a state of distraction.

"What are you thinking, my master, are you still thinking about that bald dog?" Xi Yuanxiu asked with a little doubt.

Because under normal circumstances, he has never seen Liu Xiao like this, so he is a little curious, Xi Yuanxiu may be because Liu Xiao stayed with that poor puppy for too long a while ago, and he couldn't help but think a little.

Liu Xiao stood up violently, probably because he got up too quickly, he was confused, and leaned on Xi Yuanxiu, and it took a long time to recover.

Liu Xiao habitually touched his slightly stiff belly, and said with some regret: "Brother Xiu, I always feel as if I saw something just now, where I saw it, and then I can't remember it, it's really strange!" ”

Xi Yuanxiu couldn't say anything for a while when he saw his dumbfounded appearance, so he asked Bian Ying on the side.

"What did you both do in there?"

Bian Ying scratched his head, thought about it, and said, "I didn't do anything, I just watched these officials practice for a while, and I didn't do anything else!" ”

His Royal Highness Xianwang suddenly arrived, so that Xue Luping let everyone practice after being taught, and asked until His Royal Highness Xianwang left the palace.

However, Xi Yuanxiu felt that Liu Xiao must have some reason for this, because Liu Xiao would not remember those meaningless things.

However, there were too many people in front of him, so he decided to go back to the inn and ask Liu Xiao again, just when everyone was about to go to the hospital, a guy from Guangxing Building came to everyone and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please go to Guangxing Building!" ”
