The next morning, after Di Renjie finished washing, he was sitting in the wing room next to the back hall of the county government to rest, and the county lieutenant Qiu Zhonghe hurriedly ran over, looking flustered, and took two steps and pushed the door in.

"Why are you so flustered?" Di Renjie frowned.

Qiu Zhonghe is not the kind of reckless person who is usual, on the contrary, he is a guy who is exquisite and knows the etiquette of officialdom, why did he run in without even knocking on the door today.

"Master Di is not good, another female corpse has appeared in Nanshi." Qiu Zhonghe said with an ugly face.

In less than a month, there were three homicides, the victims were tragically divided, and the body pieces were thrown on the street, which was really sensational, spread throughout Luoyang City, and he could not escape as the Henan County Lieutenant who took the first responsibility, even if he could solve the case now, he had no good fruit to eat, and he had to think about how to keep his current position.

"Another female corpse?" Di Renjie stood up and said, "Is the body still divided into several pieces?" ”

"Yes, sir. The body was divided into six pieces, and someone had been sent to collect it and sent it to Yizhuang, and he had just sent someone to tell Cui Xianzun, and Song Qizuo had been notified to go for an autopsy. Qiu Zhonghe said.

Although there was an accident, Qiu Zhonghe's mind was quite clear, and he knew that he would notify the responsible person Cui Xianzun as soon as possible and arrange for him to go to the autopsy.

"Without further ado, let's not wait for Cui Xianzun, come with me to Yizhuang!" Di Renjie ordered.

Li Rong and Li Yuanfang also heard about it and followed Di Renjie to Yizhuang.

The corpse was divided into six parts, a head, a torso, and limbs. Song Qizuo had already rushed over, looking at the six corpses on the ground, he endured the feeling of vomiting in his heart, and tried to put the corpses together simply.

The corpse was stained with blood and had not yet been cleaned. Song Cheng didn't dare to make decisions on his own, and waited there. He knew that Di Renjie was in the county office, and he would come after hearing the news of the female corpse, and everything had to wait for Di Renjie to come. Such a major case is not something that he can call the shots with a small job.

Seeing Di Renjie coming, Song Chengzuo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"The time of the deceased's death was about ugly, the body was not stiff, and there were few blood barriers, presumably caused by the deceased's excessive wounds and blood flow." Song Yanzuo briefly said the results of the autopsy to Di Renjie.

"Uncle Song," Li Yuanfang said when he came in and saw Song Chengzuo.

Song Cheng's name is Song Cheng, and if you want to say that the profession of Song Cheng is similar to that of an executioner, it is mostly passed down from generation to generation. Li Yuanfang's father and grandfather were all servants of Luozhou Mansion, and they were friends with the Song Cheng family, and they were all born in this way, so the relationship between the two families was good.

"It turned out to be Yuanfang," Song Qizuo saw Li Yuanfang greeting him and realized, "I'm relieved to have you here." ”

Li Yuanfang not only inherited his father's experience and craftsmanship in performing autopsy, but also because of his outstanding martial arts, superior knife skills, and the level of post-mortem examination far exceeded that of ordinary puppetry, it can be said that the entire Henan Provincial Mansion knows Li Yuanfang's name.

"Yao Yashi, go get some water to clean the corpse!" Di Renjie said to the two officials of Luozhou Mansion who had just run over.

The two officials then got the news and hurriedly followed, waiting for Di Renjie's dispatch. Otherwise, Di Renjie went to Wei Yuanzhong to file a complaint, which was enough to make the two guys go home.

The two servants hurried outside, found a well, and fetched two buckets of water.

Song Cheng and Li Yuanfang carefully placed the corpse on the ground, and a bamboo mat had been prepared under the corpse.

It took a quarter of an hour or so for the two to clean up the body.

Song Cheng consciously stood aside and let Li Yuanfang handle the corpse.

Li Yuanfang squatted on the ground, leaned over and gently stroked the wounds on the deceased's body with her hands, as gentle as caressing the skin of a lover.

"Except for Yuan Ming, Yuan Fang stays here, and the rest of the people go out!" Di Renjie waved his hand and commanded.

The murderer is definitely not an ordinary person, maybe he is still from a famous family, in short, it is very likely that there is a big force standing behind him, these are not ordinary officials, officials should know.

Qiu Zhonghe, Song Cheng and others retreated outside the hall with interest.

"Why don't you let us stay by?" A Henan county official said.

"What do you know, these things are something we can participate in, take care of your mouth." Qiu Zhonghe glared at the official fiercely.

These things are really not something they can get involved in, whether it is the victim or the murderer. Ordinary people who dare to kill people, or kill people in Luoyang City, and throw their bodies on the street, are definitely a madman, or a madman with good martial arts.

Only Di Renjie and the other three were left in the hall, as well as the corpses on the ground.

"Yuan Fang, what do you think?" Di Renjie asked Li Yuanfang.

"Di Gong, the murderer used a short knife, it may be a scimitar or a lancet, the former is more likely," Li Yuanfang pointed to the wound and said, "You see that these wounds are turned as desired, round and natural, only the curved blade of the scimitar lancet can cause this kind of damage." The marks of swords such as daggers are too straight, and the diagonal lines between the turns are dominant, which does not resemble this shape. ”

Li Yuanfang created his own "Infernal Knife Method", participated in the study of many knife techniques, is no stranger to scimitar, lancet, and even he has practiced lancet, because he does not like the short body of the lancet, does not suit his appetite, so he replaced it with the current dream knife, and his dream knife is actually an extended version of the lancet.

"Well, your Dream Shattering Knife, the Infernal Knife Technique is indeed very similar to the Lancet of the Emei Sect and the Returning Wind Dance Lancet Technique, at least it has some origins." Li Rong said.

Li Rongneng created his own "reincarnation knife method", and his knowledge is not shallow. His father, Li Hui, was also a master of martial arts, and he collected many sects of sword secrets, and the Huifeng Dance Willow Knife Method was one of them.

"One of my teachers is from Emei, and the Infernal Knife Technique has indeed borrowed a lot from the Huifeng Dance Willow Knife Technique." Li Yuanfang said.

Li Yuanfang once helped Ba Tianming, the elder of the Emei faction, a great favor by chance, so he obtained the Emei secret Huifeng Dance Willow Knife Technique.

"Can you see how the murderer's cultivation realm is?" Li Rong then asked.

After all, the origin of Li Yuanfang's knife technique is his personal **, and Li Rongzi will not get to the bottom of it.

"The murderer's true qi is condensed and solid, the depth of the wound is the same, if it is good, the murderer should be a six-grade master. From the wound, it can be seen that his knife technique is mellow and wishful, there is no obscurity, and he wants to inherit it extraordinary, and the knife technique he cultivates should have been carefully polished by many masters, and the murderer has successfully cultivated. In other words, he should come from a certain sect or power. Li Yuanfang explained.

"Could the murderer be a person from Emei?" Di Renjie asked suddenly.

Di Renjie knew that Li Yuanfang had a deep relationship with Emei, and he didn't want it to be really the Emei faction.

"It's unlikely, that's why I said that the murderer is more likely to use a scimitar," Li Yuanfang shook his head and said, "The lancet is difficult to learn and practice, except for Emei, no other sect is good at it, and the proficiency of the murderer's knife technique shows that it has been impregnated on it for a long time and is not hastily learned." As for the people in Emei, there are almost no people who meet the characteristics of murderers, and the elder Ba Tianming, who has the deepest cultivation, is the seventh-grade grandmaster, and then there is the head Gu Tianyang, the six-grade realm, and the rest of the people are not to worry. ”

"Well, I think so too." Li Rong nodded.

An excellent martial art must be combined with the exercises and the mind in order to be harmonious, and the cultivator can use the three in one to be proficient and reach a higher realm. Li Rong has seen the Huifeng Dance Willow Knife Method, and somewhat understands some of the Emei faction's mental methods, which are similar to the Taoist quiet and inaction, if the murderer is from the Emei faction, this kind of perverted state of mind is not compatible with the Emei mental method, and the mood is not right when the knife is released, and it is impossible to use that kind of mellow and wishful knife technique.

"And the killer used a scimitar?" Di Renjie asked.

"Almost certainly!" Li Rong replied.

"Anything is possible without absolute evidence." Di Renjie said solemnly.

"Yes, Di Gong." Li Yuanfang stood up and said.

"You are familiar with the Emei faction, so go and investigate if there are any Emei faction people who have been haunting Luoyang recently," Di Renjie instructed Li Yuanfang.

"As for Li Rong, do you go and check if there is a master who uses a scimitar in Luoyang?" Di Renjie then said to Li Rong.

Li Yuanfang looked at Di Renjie with suspicion.

Li Rongnian is only eighteen, and he has just arrived in Luoyang, and most of the time he is still training thousands of horsemen in the palace, how to investigate the use of scimitar masters, there is no channel, and there is no experience!

"Don't look at it, scimitars are more popular outside the plug, and there are very few people who use scimitars in Middle-earth, which are known to those who are laymen in my martial arts. Although Yuan Ming had just arrived in Luoyang City and was not familiar with the place, Li Shangshu had served as the general of Jin Wuwei before, and he had been stationed outside the Saiwai for many years, so he was much more familiar with the clans outside the Saiwai than me. I mean to let Yuan Ming go back and ask Li Shangshu for advice. Di Renjie said.

Di Renjie and Li Hui are good friends, and both of them were reused and favored by Emperor Gaozong, so Di Renjie knew Li Hui's experience very clearly.

Li Hui once served as the governor of Yingzhou, the governor of Yongzhou, and the general of Jin Wuwei, and when he was in office, he had dealings with various tribes outside the Saiwai, and even had a good relationship with some people, such as Sun Wanrong, the tiger king of the Khitan tribe.

"Okay," Li Rong said.

It wasn't that Di Renjie deliberately gave himself the difficult task, and the task of tracking down foreign masters was indeed easier for himself. Those people who can be called masters of foreign clans are either high-ranking officials and generals, or they are envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and it is not easy to find out with Li Yuanfang's relationship.

After Taizong unified Middle-earth, he used many foreign generals, such as Qibi He Li, Ashina Zhong, later Quan Xiancheng, Shazha Zhongyi, and Hei Tooth Changzhi were all foreign nobles and took refuge in the Tang Dynasty. Many of these people are respected by the imperial court as generals of the third rank or above, and their status is respected, which is not accessible to a commoner like Li Yuanfang.
