Chapter 224: The Identity of the Dead

Gu Chenghan was a subconscious move, he knew that a long-term closed cellar, he didn't know what would be inside, and the moisture was the safest, but when he saw Zhen Chutian so unavoidable, he was directly frightened.

just wanted to pull Zhen Chutian back into his arms, but now seeing that her little face was slightly red, a good-looking arc appeared at the corner of Gu Chenghan's mouth.

didn't make any moves, just looked at Zhen Chutian and looked at the cellar with a shy face.

After the turbidity in the cellar escaped, the two entered the cellar one after the other.

Why don't you say that the cellars of this big family are not ordinary cellars?

This cellar is very big, and in Zhen Chutian's opinion, it is as big as the front hall of the Zhang family.

There are not many things in the cellar, but there are traces of large boxes on the ground, and it seems that the second master Zhang moved all the things here when he left.

Gu Chenghan was looking for usable things in the cellar, and Zhen Chutian was looking at all the traces.

Originally, Zhen Chutian thought that those were all drag marks of wooden boxes, but when she saw the two long marks, her face was very ugly.

The more you look at it, the more it looks like a mark left on your leg.

Zhen Chutian was not sure, so he said to Gu Chenghan who was not far away: "My lord, come and take a look." ”

Hearing Zhen Chutian's shout, Gu Chenghan didn't dare to slack off for fear that something would happen to her, so he came over quickly, "What did you find?" ”

"Look!" Zhen Chutian frowned and pointed to the traces on the ground to show Gu Chenghan.

"Traces of dragging corpses?" Gu Chenghan's face was also ugly.

Could it be that the Zhang family has died and other people, and this person is still murdered?

Following the traces, Zhen Chutian quickly walked to a wall.

Staring at the wall, Zhen Chutian didn't dare to think, would the corpse really be behind the wall?

Gu Chenghan is not a person who twists, he knows that there is a problem with the wall, so he directly chisels the wall with tools.

I thought it would be a lot of trouble, but with a light knock, the wall fell.

A space appeared in the back, and through the collapsed position, Zhen Chutian could see that there was a knife stuck in his chest, and only the corpse remained, so he couldn't see the men and women visually, so he could only check closely.

was sure that there would be something behind, but when he really saw the corpses, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but tremble.

Gu Chenghan blocked it very intimately, and only after her mood stabilized did he get out of the way.

"Let's get the body out first."

"Okay."

Although Zhen Chutian was not afraid, when facing the corpses, she still had some confusion about what to do, and she was afraid that the corpses would fall apart at once.

She didn't make a fool, she didn't know much about medical skills, and she didn't know how to put the corpses together if she really fell apart.

In her mind, she recalled the cases she had dealt with before, many of which were with forensic doctors, and she was trying her best to recall, hoping that any memory could help her deduce the corpse, after all, she couldn't find it now.

Seeing Zhen Chutian staring at the corpse in a daze, Gu Chenghan did not urge, but just looked for clues on the side of the corpse.

This belongs to the interior of the cellar, there are only some cluttered things in it, nothing else, and a long time has passed, so naturally there will be no useful clues left here.

Gu Chenghan, who signaled at this time, was also a little confused about where to start.

Zhen Chutian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly had a smile on his face.

Seeing Zhen Chutian smiling like this, Gu Chenghan knew that she had found a clue, otherwise she wouldn't be like this.

"What's the clue?"

"Judging from the corpse, it was fatal by a knife, the murder weapon is this knife, look at the corpse has become a corpse, at least half a year, this place is hot all year round, naturally accelerates the decay of the corpse, and now that it is just summer, it will naturally accelerate the decay."

Although Gu Chenghan is not a fool, he also agrees with Zhen Chutian's inference.

"I remember that Brother Song said that there is a difference between the bones of men and women, this ......" Zhen Chutian said and came to the side of the corpse, looking at the bones above the leg bones, "It's a woman, look, this bone." ”

Zhen Chutian pointed to those bones and raised his eyes to look at Gu Chenghan.

Naturally, Gu Chenghan also saw it, but in fact, just by looking at how thin and light the bones are, it can be concluded that the woman is right.

"Yes, let alone a woman who has been around for half a year, it should be the slave maid of the Zhang family, after all, the master's family is on Master Zhang's side." Based on the available evidence, Gu Chenghan quickly deduced the identity of the corpse.

"Well, that's right, it should be a subordinate, then it will be difficult to investigate, if what Xiaohua said is true, then she may know the truth that so many people died in the second master Zhang's family, and she was wiped out."

According to the location of the wound, Zhen Chutian deduced that this person was taller than the corpse, but it was not much taller, and the drag marks on the ground showed that the murderer was very difficult when dragging the corpse, and it was obviously not the man's doing.

But if it is a woman, how can she be killed with a single sword?

How much effort is that?

This inconsistency made Zhen Chutian dare not conclude that the murderer was a woman.

Gu Chenghan saw that her brows were tightly locked, her whole little face was twisted together, and her beautiful eyes in the past were also full of low light at this time.

didn't want to see her like this, Gu Chenghan raised his hand and subconsciously smoothed her brows.

Zhen Chutian didn't expect Gu Chenghan to make such a move, and raised his eyes to look at him.

In such an environment, the two looked at each other, and Zhen Chutian smirked: "My lord, I'm fine." ”

"I know you're fine, but bothering to worry about whether the real murderer is a man or a woman?" Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian with an oath.

But he didn't want him to guess it at once, Zhen Chutian nodded quickly, "Well, exactly, my lord is wise." ”

Gu Chenghan naturally heard this flattering tone, but he didn't feel uncomfortable, but he wanted to continue to hear her say this.

"In fact, it is very easy for men and women to infer that there are not many men in the Zhang family, because there are more concubines in the house, so the second master Zhang does not want to keep too many men in the house.

According to the news that you got from Xiaohua, in addition to the housekeeper, the servants of the Zhang family are a few little maids, and those little guys are not very old, although the corpse is a woman, but it is not small, and it should be much stronger than you when she was alive, so ordinary little maids can't get her. ”

"That's a woman?"

"No, it's a conspiracy." Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian in a fool's way.

As soon as these words came out, Zhen Chutian suddenly looked at Gu Chenghan with a sense of realization.

Gu Chenghan originally wanted to tease Zhen Chutian, but she didn't want her to guess it.

"It's impossible for anyone to build such a wall." Zhen Chutian looked at Gu Chenghan with a smile.

This kind of unspeakable understanding made Gu Chenghan feel more and more that the resonance between him and Zhen Chutian was indeed there.

It is speculated that the murderers are two people, so it is self-evident where to investigate after going back.

Wrap the corpse in a cloth and leave the Zhang family's house.

Naturally, there were no clues to this mess, so he was simply ready to find some blood to find someone to find out the news.

The two walked out of the Zhang family's house and went their separate ways.

Gu Chenghan took the corpse out of the town along the east side, and Zhen Chutian went out of the town along the west side, and inquired all the way to see if he could ask about the Zhang family.

"Fu, Red...... Brother, be careful in everything, don't be in a hurry. Gu Chenghan looked at Zhen Chutian with worried eyes.

Zhen Chutian knew that Gu Chenghan was really worried, so he pursed his lips and looked at him with a serious face, "Don't worry, I won't take care of myself, I will see you in about an hour." ”

"Okay."

Gu Chenghan asked Zhen Chutian to go first, and he witnessed her turn into the alley, and then left.

In fact, Gu Chenghan didn't see that Zhen Chutian had been hiding at the entrance of the alley, and when he saw him start to move, he looked at the direction he left.

It wasn't until Gu Chenghan disappeared from her sight that she acted tightly.

Zhen Chutian deduced that the people whose homes were near Mr. Zhang's house should know the most about their family's affairs, but now that everyone can't eat enough, they will still take care of those idle things, and then look at the dry food in their baggage, it is enough for her to find the two of them.

After thinking about it, Zhen Chutian grabbed a young woman.

Knowing that there are not many young women in this town now, she will not leave the town at this time, which can only show that she can still hold out until the disaster relief money arrives.

Zhen Chutian squatted in front of the woman and got her a bowl of water, and the woman drank water frantically before looking at her.

"Thank you, Childe." In the eyes of women, Zhen Chutian is a man.

"Girl, you're welcome, there's no one in this town, why haven't you left?" Zhen Chutian frowned and looked at the woman puzzled.

The woman sighed, looked at the courtyard behind her, and her eyes were full of tears, "Childe, do you know?" This yard was bought by my father and mother after a lifetime of work, but who would have thought that they would die of famine without happiness.

Before they died, they told me not to leave the town, not to lose the house, so that even if I die, I will die here. The woman barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

But at this time, she didn't know that the smile on her face was more ugly than crying.

"Well, girl, these are all for you, and the disaster relief money will arrive soon." Zhen Chutian looked at the woman with an oath.

When the woman heard Zhen Chutian's words, her eyes lit up, "Childe, how do you know that the disaster relief money is coming?" ”

"My brother and I saw it on our way, and we came on horseback to be faster than them." Zhen Chutian didn't panic at all, and explained to the woman in an orderly manner.

"That's good, that's good, then I'll stay here and wait, thank you Childe." The woman quickly hid the dry food, and then bowed to Zhen Chutian.

Zhen Chutian couldn't bear this gift, so he helped the woman up, "Girl, don't do this big gift, if you really want to thank me, then I really want the girl to tell me." ”

"Childe, please speak, as long as I know, I will tell you." The girl knew that it would be life-saving to be able to give her dry food at this time, so she naturally knew everything.

Zhen Chutian first looked around, but when she saw those dying people, she felt that she was a little too cautious, at this time, would anyone care about where she came from and where she went?

"Your yard is so close to Second Master Zhang's house, you should know more about his family's affairs, right?" Zhen Chutian looked at the girl straight to the point.

When she said this, Zhen Chutian still didn't forget what she had learned, and kept staring at her eyes.
