Chapter 16: Balm

"You...... Who are you? The guy asked boldly.

The woman didn't move, but didn't react.

Only a few unknown birds outside the house, quacking, as if telling of everything that had happened here

The guy was a little scared. This ten-mile slope is in the middle of nowhere, sparsely populated around, and the shop has not yet opened, this woman appeared here out of thin air, and I don't know how she got in.

Seeing that the woman should not move, the man trembled and stepped forward, reached out and gently nudged her.

"Bang", the woman fell stiffly to the ground, showing a miserable white and colorless face.

The guy let out a scream of "ah", his feet went limp, and he sat down on the ground, and the three souls and seven spirits were almost scared away.

That woman was a dead man!

When Lu Yuan and Shen Yan and their party arrived, Yin Hongwenjing of Ying Tianfu had already dutifully waited at the scene where the body was found.

The last time he found Ding Baozhu's body, he didn't notice it for a while, which caused the scene to be destroyed, and he was scolded by the young master Lu of Dali Temple.

This time, he had done enough to protect the body, and what it was like when it was found is what it is now.

The idlers and others at the scene were all cleaned up by Hong Wenjing, leaving only the guy who found the body and the owner of the blacksmith shop.

The guy was obviously frightened, and was stammering in reply to Hong Wenjing, his face pale and fighting with the female corpse on the ground.

The owner of the blacksmith shop stood aside, sighing with a bitter face, wanting to cry without tears.

Originally, my iron was spread out well, and the business was quite good, but now a dead man suddenly appeared in a good manner, which was too unlucky. If this spreads, who will come to their shop to patronize it?

When Hong Wenjing saw Lu Yuan and the others, he greeted him and saluted, "I've seen Lord Lu, Lord Shen." ”

Lu Yuan waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, talk about the case." ”

"Yes," Hong Wenjing arched his hand, "The deceased is a woman, about 20 years old, and when she was found, her death was the same as that of the deceased...... Unknown. ”

"It's already the third." Shen Yan whispered.

"The cause of death is unknown," Lu Yuan frowned, "How can a person die is unknown, there must be a reason, what is your skill, is it not up to the mark?" ”

A white-bearded old man standing beside Hong Wenjing bowed down and replied: "What Lord Lu said is very true, but from the surface alone, the deceased is indeed uninjured all over his body, if he can be dissected and his internal organs examined, the cause of death may be ascertained." ”

"You ......"

"Lord Huilu, I will work in Tianfu in Xiaying, Guo Huai."

"Guo Chengzuo is Ying Tianfu's oldest and most experienced work." Hong Wenjing explained to Lu Yuan on the side.

"Then what are you doing in a daze, pull it back to dissect." Lu Yuan ordered.

"If it is an autopsy, the family of the deceased must sign a consent form, is this deceased only on her family's side...... It's not easy to do. Hong Wenjing replied.

"Have you found out the identity of the deceased?"

"Uh......" Hong Wenjing paused, "Not really, this deceased...... Xia Guan happened to know him, and it was Zhu Yushi's wife. ”

"Zhu Yushi? Which Zhu Yushi? ”

"Supervise the Imperial History, Zhu Cheng, and Lord Chunzhu."

Zhu Chengchun? That Zhu Dazui, who always likes to stare at people and scold people, and even the emperor has to give three points when he sees him?

He was notoriously old-fashioned and stubborn, and it was harder to ask him to agree to dissect his wife's body than to ascend to heaven.

While Lu Yuan and Hong Wenjing were talking, Ling Suwan had already begun to check the corpse.

The deceased was about twenty years old, dressed as a woman, beautifully dressed, with a bright appearance, and delicate makeup could be faintly seen on her face.

This is a pampered lady.

But obviously, Ling Suwan's attention is not on these.

Rose, rosemary, honey, wax...... There were also several ingredients that she couldn't name, and tiny, colorful particles fluttered around the deceased's face.

"It's the smell again," Ling Suwan walked around the corpse, muttering to herself, then turned her head to Lu Yuan and said, "My lord, this deceased still smells of the same kind of balm. ”

From the beginning of the Cui case, to the death of Ding Baozhu, and now to the murder of Mrs. Zhu Yushi, this should be a serial murder case.

"This is really a hell," Lu Yuan glanced at the corpse lying stiffly on the ground, only to feel panicked, and said to Hong Wenjing: "Let's hurry up and inform Zhu Yushi to identify the corpse." ”

With Zhu Dazui's powerful mouth skills, he can say that the black is white, and now he has lost his beloved wife, and he doesn't know what kind of pressure he will put on Dali Temple.

When leaving the blacksmith shop, Shen Yan found an opportunity to approach Ling Suwan, grabbed her and asked strangely again, "Did you really smell the smell of the balm just now?" ”

At that time, he deliberately stood beside this little attendant, but at that time he had never smelled any smell on the deceased at all, why did the little attendant say categorically that this deceased had the same ointment smell as Ding Baozhu.

It seemed to him that the little squire did not seem to smell at all, but to see it with his eyes.

But...... See the taste?

This is incredible.

Facing Shen Yan's condescending gaze and aggressive inquiry, Ling Suwan felt an invisible pressure rushing over her face.

She couldn't help but take a step back, groaned, and replied, "This...... Back to Lord Shen, the little ......"

"Little charcoal, what are you grinding there? Don't keep up yet! ”

Lu Yuan's urging voice came from ahead.

Ling Suwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly responded, "Yes, my lord." He turned back to Shen Yan and said apologetically: "Lord Shen, the little one retired first, and I was offended." ”

Then he hurriedly followed Lu Yuan's footsteps and walked away.

Shen Yan looked at Ling Suwan's back as she gradually walked away, her eyes were deep and her expression was unpredictable.

It is impossible for a normal person to have such a keen sense of smell.

This little squire is not simple.

Sure enough, as Lu Yuan expected, Zhu Chengchun was grief-stricken when he saw his wife's corpse. The next morning, he crawled on the top of the Golden Temple and wept bitterly, sprinkled with joy, quoted scriptures, and sternly accused Dali Temple of being incompetent in investigating the case, neglecting his duties, and failing to catch the murderer in time after the Cui case, resulting in the death of his beloved wife.

The depth of affection and the sadness of the heart are suffocating, and the hundreds of military officials in the palace sighed one after another, and even Emperor Jiajing was a little moved.

Zhou Zhengnian, the secretary of Dali Temple standing next to him, had a blue face, a white and a red face, and felt deeply disgraced, and as soon as the morning dynasty ended, he hurriedly returned to Dali Temple to find Lu Yuan.

When I arrived at Lu Yuan's office, I saw that it was the little attendant he had been with him who was reading the file at the desk, and the little grandfather Lu himself was sitting lazily at the round table on the side, crossing Erlang's legs, leisurely drinking tea and reading the book.

Zhou Zhengnian sighed in his heart.

I don't know what kind of demon this little grandfather Lu had at that time, so he had to choose the Dali Temple he was in charge of to do things.

Come on, Dali Temple Shaoqing should only give you a name, you can be your own carefree little grandfather, still eat, drink and have fun, fight cocks and walk dogs, anyway, Shen Yan is very capable, one person can top two.

It's hateful that this little grandfather is still serious and takes all the cases that should have been handled by Ying Tianfu on himself.

It's good now.,You've got a hot potato for me.。。

If your little grandfather hadn't taken over this case, why would he be so humiliated by that Zhu Dazui today.
