The sound of the wall clattering was heard, alarming the neighbors.

One after another, people walked out of the house, curiously looking into the depths of the alley.

"What's the sound?"

"I don't know, it's not a small thing to listen to."

"Why does it sound like I'm smashing something?"

"Isn't it, can there be such a big movement when smashing things?"

The excitement could not be missed, and everyone quickly gathered at the door of the house.

It is a pity that the gate of the courtyard is closed, and no matter how curious people are, they can't push the door in, so they have to stand outside and talk about it.

"Aunt Cui, there are a lot of neighbors gathered outside." One of the guards who had left his head moving came to report.

The female officer stared at the smashed wall without blinking: "Don't bother. ”

Compared to the whereabouts of the county lord of Yingyue, not to mention those who watch the excitement, even the owner of this mansion does not matter.

Even if the owner of the house is here, this wall will be smashed.

"Stop!" One of the guards suddenly shouted, "There's something in the wall!" ”

The female officer rushed to the front and saw the scene in the wall, and the blood on her face faded.

It was a human skeleton that could not be seen in its entirety, and those hollow eye sockets were facing her.

The female officer has been on the battlefield with the eldest princess of Yongping, and she has seen the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, but at this moment, she couldn't help but staggered back.

Such a gaffe, naturally, is because of the possible identity of this skeleton!

When the female officer forgot to react, the guards continued to dig at the wall, but with much more careful movements.

Soon after, a relatively intact human skeleton was revealed.

There was silence in the courtyard for a while, and everyone looked at the female officer.

The female officer finally came to her senses, took a few steps forward, and stared intently at the bones embedded in the wall.

She tried to identify the bones, but it was nothing more than a dream.

After a long time, the female officer said in a dumb voice: "Go...... Go to Suncheonfu and ask for help! ”

A steward-looking man asked in a low voice, "Do you want to send someone back to report to Your Highness first?" ”

"No!" The female official categorically rejected this proposal, her face was as pale as snow, "Please take a look at it first." ”

How could she bear to let His Highness see such a scene.

It is said that a good work can deduce the gender, height, age, and even the cause of death of the deceased from the bones, but what if it is not the county lord?

I don't know how long I waited, but I hurried over with two helpers, and there was also a pusher who came with him.

Because of the disappearance of the county lord of Yingyue, the magistrate remembered the identity of the female official and hurriedly came forward to say hello.

The female officer had no intention of speaking, waved her hand and said, "I'll talk about it after the investigation is done." ”

He got busy with his two apprentices.

The skeleton was carefully picked up from the wall and placed on the ground to piece together a complete human form, and the two apprentices were responsible for digging through the wall inch by inch.

Time seems to be infinitely extended, and the female officer has a feeling of breathlessness.

He finally straightened up and slowly said: "The deceased is a young girl of twelve or thirteen, more than four feet tall, with a fracture of the hyoid bone, and the preliminary judgment is that she died of force on her neck......"

As she continued, the female officer's face became more and more ugly.

The county lord was twelve years old when he disappeared, and his age matched what he said, as well as his height.

"You can't judge the identity of the white bones, right?" The female officer muttered, still unable to believe that the white bone in front of her was the Lord of Yingyue.

The county lord is golden and noble, even if she loses a strand of hair, the person who serves will feel distressed, how can she believe that this little girl who was strangled to death is the county lord.

What the female officer didn't expect was that after listening to her words, she actually responded: "If you are lucky, you may be able to judge the identity of the white bones." ”

"How?" The magistrate couldn't wait to ask.

Pointing to the right hand of the skeleton: "The right hand of the skeleton is in the shape of a fist, and the victim is likely to have held something in his hand before he died." ”

Hearing this, the magistrate nodded, and then said, "Yes, the things that can be held by the deceased in the hands of the deceased based on experience are either related to the murderer, or something that is very important to the deceased. ”

Whether it is the former or the latter, the murderer can often be found along this clue. And when the murderer is caught, the identity of the victim will naturally be known.

"Then they—" The female officer looked at the two men, sweating profusely rummaging through the walls.

"The right finger bone was not destroyed, so it is speculated that the object that the deceased was holding in his hand at the time was most likely not taken, and the flesh may have fallen into these walls after it was corrupted. ”

Not long after he said this, a young man rummaging through the wall exclaimed excitedly: "There is a discovery! ”

"Bring it on!" The magistrate commanded.

"Your Excellency, please take a look." The young man spread out his hand, and in the palm of his hand was a small bell.

The female officer saw the bell's expression change, and said sharply: "Take it!" ”

The young man looked at the pusher, saw that the pusher nodded slightly, and presented the bell to Cuigu.

The female officer snatched it with her hand, wiped the mud on the bell with a snow-white handkerchief, and when the bell gradually revealed some of its true colors, she immediately looked at the inner wall of the bell.

In the inconspicuous corner of the inner wall, a full moon is engraved.

"It's the county lord!" The female officer blurted out, already in tears.

The pusher didn't dare to say anything for a while.

The county lord of Yingyue, who has been missing for three years, has found his bones in the walls of such a private house in Dongcheng, and he can already imagine what kind of sensation it will cause.

The female officer couldn't calm down for a long time, and ordered in a trembling voice: "Go to the coffin shop and pull a coffin, put ...... Collect the bones of the county lord and bring them back to the eldest princess's mansion. ”

After thinking about it, the female official ordered another person: "You go to Qingya Academy immediately and tell the county lord of the horse that he has found ......"

The husband of the eldest princess of Yongping is Du Nian, a talented son who was once famous all over the world, and is currently the head of Qingya Academy.

The couple was originally an enviable couple, but it was a pity that the eldest princess had a knot in her heart for Du Nian after the disappearance of the lord of Yingyue, and Du Nian lived in the academy for a long time since then.

The female official was willing to be reprimanded later, and she couldn't bear to let her master face such a miserable pain alone.

The best coffin was carried into the courtyard and silently carried out.

The female officer ordered two guards to stay here, and followed the coffin with heavy footsteps.

The people who gathered outside to watch the excitement did not disperse for a long time, speculating about the situation.

It's almost time for the noon feast, and the eldest princess has already left at this time in previous years, allowing the nobles to eat and drink and have fun, but now she is still drinking tea with Miss Feng.

In the face of this abnormality, the women were already stunned, and they whispered: "No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like curiosity." ”

To be able to keep Miss Feng to drink tea for so long, if the eldest princess is really curious, then this curiosity is also serious.

The eldest princess of Yongping kept her eyes closed and did not speak, and to her satisfaction, the little girl who was also in the pavilion did not speak.

For a mother who is anxiously waiting for the news of her missing daughter, not to mention the noise in her ears at this moment, even the sound of the wind blowing flowers and trees makes her upset.

The familiar sound of footsteps came, and the eldest princess of Yongping suddenly opened her eyes and watched the female officer walk in.

Her gaze fell on the female officer's pale face, and her heart tightened: "How?" ”

The female official subconsciously glanced at Feng Cheng and said in a low voice: "Back to Your Highness, I did find a skeleton in the wall of the house that Miss Feng said——"

The eldest princess of Yongping shook her body for a moment, and asked forcefully, "What else did you find?" ”

The female officer gritted her teeth and slowly spread out her palms.
