Chapter 31: Murder

At the foot of Fangshan Mountain, there is an unknown female corpse that has been dead for at least ten years, and the woman's skull has never been found in a radius of three miles around.

In the strange cave not far from the foot of the mountain, there is only one mad skull in the black sarcophagus, and this skull is small, smooth and delicate, the eyebrow arch is not developed, the supraorbital edge is sharp and thin, the forehead is steep and straight, the cheekbones are low and slender, the zygomatic arch is weak, and the mastoid process and the external occipital carina are underdeveloped, indicating that this is a woman's skull, which is very reminiscent of the missing nameless female corpse bone at the foot of the mountain.

After listening to Yu Qiye's bone examination and proving that this woman's skull was the missing bone of the nameless female corpse at the foot of the mountain, Li Yutang groaned and said: "Since Li Village knows about this altar cave, then the official will take someone to Li Village to learn about the situation, and in Seven Nights, you go back to the county government to find out the specific cause of death of the unknown woman's corpse." ”

"Understood, sir."

It was already noon when Yu Qiye and Xiao Gu returned to the Ya, after the two had eaten, Yu Qiye began to examine the bones of the nameless woman in the courtyard of the Ya, Xiao Gu sat under the big locust tree to enjoy the shade, and looked at Yu Qiye from time to time, and then retracted his gaze in fright, wanting to see but not daring to look at it, which made people feel so cute.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu."

Before the figure arrived, the loud and familiar voice had already entered the courtyard of the Yazuo.

You don't need to look at Yu Qiye to know that it is the little fat man Zhao Zhongjun who is here.

It's just that this time Zhao Zhongjun is not alone, and there is a middle-aged swordsman in white with a long sword in his arms behind him.

Zhao Zhongyan walked around the back of Yu Qiye's buttocks, and said worriedly: "Brother Yu, are you okay?" ”

Yu Qiye stopped to examine the bones, raised his head and said, "I'm in good health, what can I do." ”

"The little brother heard that Brother Yu was assassinated by a killer at home last night, and he didn't find Brother Yu when he went to the Yujia Medicine House in the morning, so the little brother was in a hurry."

"I'm not fine, now I'm examining the cause of death of this corpse, you stand aside and wait, don't disturb me."

After Yu Qiye finished speaking, he continued to examine the bones, he took a piece of bone and put it in a boiling iron pot.

Zhao Zhongjun looked at this scene and twitched, but for the autopsy, Zhao Zhongjun was also interested, he asked suspiciously: "Brother Yu, what is this for?" ”

"Let's examine the cause of death of the unknown woman's bones?"

"Brother Yu, do you want my little brother to help?"

Yu Qiye pointed to an iron box not far away and said, "There are some mice in the iron box, you can catch one." ”

"Brother Yu, the little brother is known as a little expert at catching rats at home, one catches one accurately, more powerful than a black cat."

Zhao Zhongjun confidently walked to the iron box, reached into the box, squeaked a few times, a fat mouse was caught by Zhao Zhongyun in his hand, and he proudly put a black mouse into the wooden basin next to the iron pot.

The black rat squeaked in the tub and ran around the rim of the tub.

Yu Qiye scooped up a bowl of hot soup from the iron pot where the bones were boiled, put it in a wooden basin, and after the hot soup was cold, the black mouse came over and ate a few bites.

Zhao Zhongjun pointed to the dead black rat that was motionless and dead, and said in surprise: "The mouse is dead, the mouse is dead, Brother Yu, what's going on?" ”

"As the saying goes, when you are terminally ill, poison enters the bone marrow, and after the bones are boiled in a hot pot, the poison in the bones will infect the water, and the water will become poisonous water, and of course the rats will die." Yu Qiye said indifferently.

Zhao Zhongjun's eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Brother Yu, you are so powerful." ”

At this moment, a hearty and familiar sound of laughter came from the gate of the courtyard.

"Xiao Langjun, your autopsy method is really a must, when I saw it today, it was really an eye-opener."

Yu Qiye looked at Wang Anshi and walked in, how long has this old Wang been hiding in the corner of the wall, when did he come, he crossed his hands and saluted: "The small skill of carving insects is not enough to worry about teeth, so that the adult of the punishment will laugh." ”

"Lao Wang, you don't have tea at the Criminal Division, why do you have time to come here?" Zhao Zhongjun stared at the hot pot that was boiling, didn't look up, and said casually.

"I've seen Lang Jun, the weather is good today, so I'll come out for a walk."

Wang Anshi saluted Zhao Zhongjun, Zhao Zhongjun waved his hand, withdrew his gaze staring at the hot pot, and said, "Lao Wang, you are busy with you." ”

"Yes, Lang Jun."

Wang Anshi turned around, looked at Yu Qiye, and said with concern: "Xiao Langjun was assassinated at home last night, I heard Master Li Yutang say in a book, Xiao Langjun should pay attention to safety when traveling in the future." ”

Knocking on the door, knowing that it is dangerous, he will not send a master to protect it, Yu Qiye muttered in his heart.

Wang Anshi continued: "Regarding the Qingwang killer, a certain person will also secretly send someone to investigate according to Lord Li's wishes, and he will definitely give Xiao Langjun an explanation, after all, Xiao Langjun is handling a case for the imperial court. ”

"Thank you for your concern, I will take care of my own safety." Yu Qiyasha saluted and said.

"By the way, the Lin Mansion case has been solved, Xiao Langjun has made great contributions, and the imperial court will issue a decree in the near future." Wang Anshi said.

"Thank you for the grace of the officials, and thank you for your support." Yu Qiye said.

"You don't need to thank you, you didn't carry you, this is the reward you deserve." Wang Anshi said.

"I should be thanked, if it weren't for the adults who appeared in the Lin Mansion that day, they would not have been able to find out the murderer quietly." Yu Qiye said.

After some business praise, Wang Anshi nodded with satisfaction, and asked what was going on with this nameless corpse, after a brief introduction by Yu Qiye, Wang Anshi was surprised: "There are such strange things in Fangshan, for strange forces and chaos, I don't believe it, since you have opened the black sarcophagus, what deaths have happened?" ”

"The death incident didn't happen, but this skull appeared in the black sarcophagus, I checked it, this skull is the skeleton of this nameless woman, she was poisoned and died ten years ago, as for whether it was suicide or murder, this is not clear, and I have to wait for Lord Li to come back after asking the people from Li Village." Yu Qiye said.

"The black sarcophagus has been opened, and there is a skull inside, and the bones of other people have been found at the foot of the mountain, what is the intention of the person who put the skull?" Wang Anshi wondered.

At this time, Li Yutang walked into the palace with a group of fast arresters, and when he saw Wang Anshi and Zhao Zhongjiao, he straightened his official uniform, crossed his hands at Wang Anshi and Zhao Zhongjiao, and said: "I don't know that Lang Jun and the punishment lord are coming, and the lower officials are rude."

Zhao Zhongjun said that he didn't care about him, Wang Anshi waved his hand, and said unconcernedly: "I just came and walked around, there is no rudeness or rudeness, Lord Li, tell me what you found in Li Village?" ”

Wang Anshi pointed to the bones of the nameless woman.

"The Punishment Master also knows about this murder?" Li Yutang looked at Yu Qiye suspiciously, Yu Qiye nodded, and he said what happened a few breaths ago.

Li Yutang looked at Wang Anshi and said: "Xia Guan thought that this was someone's prank, and he took out the female corpse bones in the black sarcophagus to scare people, but he didn't expect that when the official arrived in Li Village to inquire, he found that there was no corpse in this black sarcophagus at all, but when the official went to Li Village's house, Xia Guan found a murder case." ”

After listening to Li Yutang's story, Zhao Zhongjun was surprised: "Li Cun Baozheng is dead."
