074 Confessions

The entire basement floor of the Qingfeng Tea House is used as an ice cellar, which is divided into four parts, one part is used to make various ice drinks, some is used to preserve meat and fish that are easy to spoil, and occasionally some vegetables that are not afraid of freezing are stored in it. The remaining two parts are spare, and the people in Wuma Town, who need ice, can go to Qingfeng Teahouse unconditionally to get it.

And this time, the corpse of the Jin envoy was transported here, fortunately, the two spare ice cellars are far away from the two that make ice drinks and store food, and they are tightly separated in the middle, so there will be no impact, otherwise, the business of the teahouse owner will definitely not be very good in the future, unless he dismantles the teahouse and starts again.

Shen Cha asked Ying Liu to go to the Great Xia Post House and call Jin Miaomiao over, as a personal disciple of the poison doctor Master Huilan, Jin Miaomiao is also very familiar with the master's true inheritance in the autopsy, and she can see details that are not easy for others to notice. Shen Cha didn't quite believe the conclusion of the autopsy conducted by Wuma Zhen before, if the two old generals didn't lie, according to what they said, she suspected that Wanyan and Wen and the Jin State Mission did not die in the Liao Realm at all, and the knife wound on the neck was definitely not fatal, whether the corpse appeared in the Liao Realm, or the so-called fatal knife, it was a trick to cover up the real place of death and the cause of death.

Thinking of this, Shen Cha beckoned to Ying Wu and whispered a few words in his ear, Ying Wu nodded and left in a hurry.

"Miao Miao is here, let's go down!" Jin Jing, who had been standing next to the window, saw her sister carrying her small box to the door of Qingfeng Teahouse, turned her head and said to Shen Cha and the two old generals, "Sister She's not very good-tempered, don't let her wait too long." ”

The three of them nodded, and Shen Cha asked the two old generals to go first, while himself and Jin Jing followed behind them.

"Where is the body?" Seeing a few people coming down from the second floor of the teahouse, Jin Miaomiao rushed over, first greeted the two old generals, Yan Zhanxiong and Yelu Zesheng, and then grabbed Jin Jing's arm and asked, "Hurry up and take me to see it!" ”

"My sister, that's a corpse, aren't you so interested?" Jin Jing was so dizzy by her that she felt like she was about to vomit, so she quickly stopped her, "Okay, okay, take you to see!" He smiled embarrassedly at the two old generals, "See, laugh!" ”

"It's okay!" Wanyan Zhanxiong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care, "The ice cellar is cold, please wear more clothes, so as not to be frozen!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Miaomiao turned around and draped the thick cloak held by Ying Liu's hand directly on Shen Cha's body.

"That's it!" Jin Miaomiao patted Shen Cha's shoulder and looked at Wan Yan Zhanxiong, "We can go." ”

Wanyan Zhanxiong nodded, and everyone present followed him downstairs. Just halfway down, a powerful chill invaded all the people, and all of them couldn't help but shrink a little, fortunately, all the people before listened to Yan Zhanxiong's advice, and all of them added an extra cloak or big coat, otherwise they would really be frozen.

"The corpse is over here!" Wanyan Zhanxiong led them to the fourth ice room, gently pushed the door open, and invited everyone to enter.

Jin Miaomiao entered the ice room and entered a state of selflessness, starting from the first corpse of Wanyan and Wen very seriously.

Shen Cha didn't disturb Jin Miaomiao's work, her focus was on the clothes of those corpses, just like Yelu Zesheng said before, fifty people were wearing white robes, stretched out her hand to feel the thickness of the robe, frowned, this dress is also too thin, this thickness of clothes should be worn in the house, not outdoors. If you dress like this and walk around in such a cold night, you don't need anyone else to do it, and you will freeze yourself to death.

"This shouldn't be an outer robe, it's a ...... Clothes to wear at home, right? Jin Jing also came over and touched it, "Our clothes at home are a little thicker than this, right?" Normal people don't wear this kind of thing to hang around outside, at least there is another robe on the outside, and when you meet someone who is so afraid of the cold, you have to add a thicker layer. ”

"I think so too, if you dress like this and hang outside, you are looking for your own death." Shen Cha nodded, "In this way, it is very consistent with our previous speculation, when they died, they should be in the house, not outdoors." ”

"That's right!" Jin Jing gently tapped her palm with a fan, "Moreover, the possibility of this is very high." ”

Shen Cha observed the situation of the other corpses again, and did not find too many things, then turned to Yelu Zesheng and said, "This place will be handed over to Miao Miao, you take me to meet the Qiu Yi who found the corpse." ”

Yelu Zesheng nodded, and left the ice cellar with a few people, and before Shen Cha left, he left the thick cloak on his body to Jin Miaomiao, and left here quickly.

Coming out of the Qingfeng Teahouse, the sky outside had already darkened, and the soldiers of Xia, Liao, and Jin all lit hundreds of lanterns, and the entire Wuma Town was as bright as day. The group quickly walked through the public area and came to the place under the jurisdiction of the Liao State.

He had already sent someone to greet the soldiers who had been on duty last night, and they had gathered in the hut where they had been on duty that night, and when they saw everyone coming in, all the people in the house stood up and saluted them very respectfully.

"Sit down!" Yelu Zesheng first invited Yan Zhanxiong, Shen Cha and Jin Jing to sit down, ordered someone to serve them hot milk tea, and then waved his hand to the eight soldiers, "Qiu Yi, tell General Shen what you know and see." ”

"Yes!" A soldier who was relatively thin and not so tall stood up and saluted Shen Cha, "General Shen, subordinate Qiu Yi." ”

"Hello!" Shen Cha looked at him for a moment and nodded at him, "Please take a seat, please explain in detail the process of discovering the deceased." ”

"Okay, General Shen!" Qiu Yi sat down again, his waist was straight, his two bright eyes looked at Shen Cha, and said, "At the fifth watch in the early morning today, I woke up from my slumber and saw that the brothers around me seemed to be still sleeping. I wanted to go out for a while, so I quietly walked to the door so as not to wake up my brothers. When I opened the door, I saw black and white dots not far away. ”

"Black and white stuff?" Jin Jing thought for a moment, "Oh, it's the contrast between hair and clothes. ”

"That's right, because I just woke up, so, the whole person is still dizzy and not very awake. When I first saw this, I thought I was dazzled. When a cold wind blew, I immediately woke up and immediately saw what the black and white things were. Dozens of corpses were lying neatly in the snow, facing the sky on their backs, their white clothes becoming one with the snow. At that time, I was really scared, if it wasn't for the brothers who pushed me, I wouldn't have come back to my senses. ”

"It's really exciting to see this picture when you wake up, and it's normal to be scared." Jin Jing nodded, "Then you see the corpse, what kind of ...... does the corpse present?" I mean, facial expressions, what kind of state is it? ”

"This ...... I haven't noticed it yet. Qiu Yi shook his head, "Because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is very relaxed, thinking that nothing will happen." So, when I saw this scene early in the morning, I was about to be scared to death, where would I pay attention to this? I was scared stupid at the time, and it was Shangguan who helped my brothers go to report me. ”

"Yes, General Shen!" A little fat soldier sitting next to Qiu Yi said seriously, "I went to tell our general!" ”

"Good!" Shen Cha wrote down his words in a notebook, carefully looked at the expressions of several soldiers, all of them were very sincere, and no one avoided his gaze. "Now, please describe what happened last night. I have spoken to General Jerod Zesheng before, and according to the information he provided me, it was the eight of you who were on duty last night, four in a shift. However, just after Qiu Yi said that when he woke up, you were still sleeping, why? According to common sense, four of you should be sober. ”

"We're just as weird about that!" Another tall and honest-looking soldier stood up and said, "Since yesterday at noon, we have felt dizzy, and the whole person is not very awake, after dinner, this feeling is even stronger, I don't know when they all went to sleep, anyway, I fell asleep not long after I entered this room, and it was very heavy, which usually does not happen." ”

"Yes!" The others all nodded, "We've never slept so deeply, even if it's not worth it, it won't be like this." ”

"Good!" Shen Cha carefully wrote down everything they said in his notebook, "You can think about it again, what else do you need to add?" ”

The eight soldiers lowered their heads, thought carefully, and shook their heads at Shen Cha.

"Thank you!" Shen Cha got up from his chair and bowed slightly towards the eight soldiers, "Thank you for your cooperation, if you think of anything, just come to me!" ”

"General Shen is polite!" The eight soldiers hurriedly stood up and saluted back, "This is what we should do." ”

Shen Cha looked at them, turned around and left the hut, the two old generals and Jin Jing following behind her.

"Boss!" Shadow Six saw them come out of the house, walked over and whispered to Shen Cha's ear, "We swept away the snow and found no traces, and where the bodies were found, there was nothing found under the snow. ”

"Got it, hard work!" Shen Cha and Jin Jing exchanged a look, "It seems that we can go back to the city tomorrow!" ”
