029 Steamed bones

"It's nothing, I just want you to stand closer to me. I can record what I said. Jun Qinglan said with a smile in a gentle voice.

"I ......." Jiang Yufan felt his scalp tingle inexplicably: "When did I say that I wanted to record it for you?" ”

"I'm going to do an autopsy, can I still record it myself? There are just a few of us here, or let ....... Jun Qinglan's eyes looked at Duanwang without a trace: "He came to record?" ”

"It's still me." Jiang Yufan was deflated. He is obviously a leader, why does he suddenly feel that he has no status every time he is with Jun Qinglan. What about the dignity of the good?

What's even more terrifying is that he actually has a faint ...... Never get tired of it.

Jun Qinglan put the lamp, turned the oil lamp brighter, and placed it next to the coffin. Fingers poked into the coffin and fumbled carefully.

"The deceased was a male, aged about 20 and 3, in good health, free from disease and disability. The mouth is clean and there is no soot. The hands and feet are naturally sagging, and the cause of death is ...... Unknown. It was burned after death, and the body was carbonized. It was preliminarily concluded that it was a corpse destroyed. The woman's voice was cold, like a trickle.

"Unclear?" Jiang Yufan pointed his fingers and looked up at Jun Qinglan: "Wasn't he burned to death by fire?" ”

"It's not." Jun Qinglan said categorically: "If it is burned to death, the deceased will struggle before death, and there will be a lot of soot in his mouth. However, his mouth is very clean, his hands and feet are in a natural state, and he is not in the slightest state of curling and hideous after struggling. Such a posture can be understood as the fact that he was asleep at the time and was not in pain when he died. ”

"That's ......." Jiang Yufan took a breath: "It's strange." ”

This is indeed a strange thing.

Everyone in Dehua Fang can prove that Ah Yong's house caught fire in the middle of the night and burned the husband and wife to death. However, Jun Qinglan asserted that they were killed and burned. What means does the murderer use to make people die unknowingly in their sleep?

"Could it be poisoning?" Jiang Yufan asked tentatively.

"The corpse is badly carbonized and cannot be known." Jun Qinglan shook her head.

She slowly walked to the other coffin to investigate, and after a short time, she withdrew her hand, put her palms together and recited the words of Amitabha Buddha, and sighed heavily.

"What's wrong?"

"The dead ......." Jun Qinglan took a breath and said: "The abdomen is as hard as iron, but flat as a mirror, and the pregnancy period is not more than three months. ”

"Pregnant? Ah Yong's wife is pregnant? ”

"Yes."

Jun Qinglan closed her eyes, one corpse and two lives, what a cruel method!

It is precisely because of this that she can't believe that it was the water from the stove that ignited the bedroom and burned the two to death. Which pregnant woman is not cautious? Therefore, most pregnant women do not sleep well at night after pregnancy, and will wake up at the slightest disturbance. There was such a big fire in the house, how could she not know?

"Can you tell the cause of death?" Jiang Yufan asked softly.

"The epidermal texture of the corpse was burned so badly that even the original scars were covered up."

After saying that, Jun Qinglan suddenly turned around. walked to the inner room in three or two steps, opened the bedside cage, and took out a camphor wooden box pressed at the bottom of the box. After that, he solemnly cleaned his hands and burned incense, and then opened the box. Jiang Yufan came in to take a look, and the box contained a set of knives wrapped in layers of dark brown linen. That set of knives was different from the knives and scissors that Jiang Yufan was used to, the cutting edge was extremely sharp, and the blades were all willow leaf shaped. Look at it, it's thin and glowing.

"It's ......." Jiang Yufan subconsciously moved a little away from the coffin, and when he saw this set of things, he inexplicably felt that the cracks in the bones were cold. I always feel like something bad is going to happen.

"Head, please help me get more lights."

Jun Qinglan said as she took out a few special mirrors from under the box. Jiang Yufan took all the lamps in Yizhuang, and couldn't help but glance at the mirror that Jun Qinglan supported on the table. He had never seen those mirrors, the surface was smooth as ice, but they were as bright as silver, and the figures reflected were clear and clear that Jiang Yufan had never seen.

"This mirror is not brass." Jiang Yufan said: "Looking at the craftsmanship that is not like our Northern Xia people, I have seen from an acrobatic book that in another continent farther away than the Western Regions, someone once forged a special mirror with mercury and glass. The figure seen in the light is no different from the real person. Could this be the thing mentioned in the book? ”

"I don't know." Jun Qinglan looked at him and said, "These mirrors are from my father's collection, and they are said to be gifts from the strange people I met back then." We took it for an autopsy. ”

"Inspection...... Corpse? Jiang Yufan glared. The mirror is also an elegant thing, when can it be related to the autopsy?

Jun Qinglan stopped talking, lit all the lights, and then placed them in a way that Jiang Yufan couldn't understand at all. Adjust the mirror slightly.

"It's so bright!" Jiang Yufan subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was already a surprise in his eyes: "It turns out that the mirror can still be used for lighting?" ”

Jun Qinglan used the mirror to reflect the light of the lamp several times, forming an unimaginable light around the bodies of Ah Yong and his wife, and the light was exquisite. Even the tiny fire cracks on the corpse were clearly discernible.

"The light of a sunlit lamp is dimmed for some reason, but the human eye needs enough light to see things clearly. I now use the light from the mirror to maximize the brightness around me. In this way, you can see details that you would not have been able to see in the past. ”

Jun Qinglan said slowly while carefully probing the corpse again. She examined Yong's body up and down again, and finally stood at his head.

"There's a dent here." The woman pointed towards the heavenly spirit in the middle of Ah Yong's skull with her bare hands: "Although the corpse has been burned, the muscles and bones here are lower than elsewhere, and you can feel a depression when you touch it with your hands." It is initially suspected that Ah Yong was hit in the head with a blunt object to death. However, this is just my guess. It is also possible that the scar was caused by a fall after the fire broke the beam. ”

"So." She took a lancet out of the burlap bag: "I need to do further verification. ”

After speaking, the knife in his hand fell, and there was a flash of green thunder and lightning frost between heaven and earth, which did not enter Ah Yongbo's neck. The woman's hands are as flying as her hands, her fingers are as nimble as swimming fishes, and she is holding a lancet to swim over Yong's charred facial skin. It didn't take much effort, and the charred black texture peeled off his skull like a ball of black cotton wool, fell, and fell into the coffin.

“…… Forehead. Jiang Yufan never expected that Jun Qinglan would not greet anyone and directly dissect the corpse. Even though he had long been accustomed to rolling in the corpse mountain, he was still a little overwhelmed when he suddenly saw such a violent scene.

Jun Qinglan ignored him, and concentrated on removing the skin on Ah Yong's face that was not yet carbonized. It wasn't until the entire skull was exposed that a larger knife was replaced and cut along the gap between the bones in the erection neck. With a click, Yong's skull was cut off completely.

"Make a fire." The woman spoke suddenly.

"What?"

Jiang Yufan was stunned for a moment. In a blink of an eye, I saw Jun Qinglan raise her eyebrows and glance at the stove in the corner: "There is a stone pot on the ground over there, you go and notify me when the stone pot is heated." ”

"I ......." Jiang Yufan was about to protest, but saw that Jun Qinglan had already lowered his head, and he didn't know what was stained with the sackcloth in his hand, and carefully wiped the skull in his hand. So he shut his mouth stupidly, once again completely hid the idea that he was the leader, and obediently went to make a fire.

It's not that he's instigated, he's afraid of a little trick. Really, he's really too! Good! Strange! Finish!

Jun Qinglan rubbed it for a long time, and finally wiped out a white piece on the top of the skull, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. got up and walked to Jiang Yufan's side to see him burn the fire. When the temperature of the stone pot had risen, she poured wine and vinegar on it, extinguished the fire, and put the bones in it and covered them with a straw. After that, he clapped his hands and found a chair to sit down and rest.

Jiang Yufan stared at her for a long time, but the person didn't move at all. Finally, I couldn't help but ask, "And then?" ”

"Hungry?"

"What?" Jiang Yufan blinked, and the rhythm of the conversation seemed to be a little ...... Not quite right.

"It's dark." Jun Qinglan raised her finger and pointed out the window: "After a day of running today, I only have refreshments in my stomach that I used in the morning." You're not hungry? ”

"At this time, in this kind of place, you still ...... Thinking about eating? Jiang Yufan's eyes widened, staring at Jun Qinglan's hands. What's more, you just dissected the corpse, even if you have delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can't eat it at this time!

"I eat in this place every day." Jun Qinglan took off her gloves, cleaned her hands in the basin of water and said, "The bones will be steamed for an hour or two, it's early." If you don't fill your stomach, how can you have the strength to work? ”

"But ......."

Jun Qinglan didn't pay attention to him anymore, took the firewood and came in, and cooked on the stove next to the stone pot of steaming bones: "I only have some coarse tea and light rice here, I think I should not be used to serving the prince." In addition, if it is late today, after an hour or two, the curfew in the city should have passed. It's better to go back now, if you want to know the result, I'll report to you at your house tomorrow. ”

"Not necessarily."

“…… Kindness? ”

"This king can eat anything."

“…… Yes? Jun Qinglan was stunned. They were not the same person as Li Congyao at all, and that person followed him inch by inch, and he didn't know what An's heart was. She had been thinking about driving people out for a long time, and now that she came out under the pretext of curfew, couldn't that person leave immediately? Who knew he was actually ......

"In the past, when we were at the border, the grassroots were all about food." Li Congyao looked back at Rong Xi: "You go to cook and tell Lord Jun to rest for a while." ”

Rong Xi agreed and walked to the stove, and Jun Qinglan, who was smiling and stunned, took the rice spoon in his hand: "My lord, let's rest, and wait for a while to taste the craftsmanship of the slave." ”

“…… Oh. It took Jun Qinglan a long time to accept the facts in front of her.

"You can come over now and make your discoveries and decisions known today!" Li Congyao said lightly.
