Chapter 7: Two Corpses
"Will it work?" Hong Shun also glanced at the coffin thoughtfully, "Leave her here alone?" ”
"Who would steal a coffin containing a dead man? If you don't feel at ease, I'll be here to watch, and you can borrow a shovel first. ”
The man hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay!" Do it! ”
Waiting for Miao Miaomiao to arrive here, she saw the two of them digging a pit to bury the coffin.
"Meow!"
The couple heard a cat meow and turned their heads to see a black cat staring at them in the tree.
Those golden cat's eyes seemed to be able to see through their minds.
"I said straight...... Don't you think this cat looks like a human? Hong swallowed his saliva and said.
"You cowardly mother-in-law, suspicious all day long, just a cat, look at what scares you." The man said as he shoveled another shovel of soil.
"Meow!" The black cat jumped on the lid of the coffin, its two front paws constantly scratching the plank under its feet.
"What does this cat want to do?!" Hong raised his shovel and swung it at the black cat, "Go!" Go! ”
Miao Miaomiao easily dodged her drive.
Hong Shun stopped what he was doing and looked at the black cat, frowning: "Hey! Look at the sign this cat is wearing, is it the one in the palace? ”
The woman took a closer look: "It's really ...... Why did the cat in the palace run over? It is said that the black cat is psychic, could there be something unclean here...... Yes! Will our Hong'er have any grievances? So I asked the black cat to inform us ......"
The man interrupted her impatiently: "Hong'er is dead!" Even if there is a grievance, so what? Do you rely on us to redress your grievances?! ”
"That being said......"
The man threw the shovel away: "Don't talk too much, come and take the handle and put the coffin down." ”
"Can't put it!" Miao Miaomiao screamed and threw herself at the woman.
The woman covered her face with her hands, and before she could dodge, she fell to the ground and knocked over the coffin that was already hanging on the edge of the pit.
The coffin was in the pit and went straight to the sky.
The lid of the coffin, which had not been nailed firmly, was also opened.
"Oops! Hong'er! The woman got up from the ground and saw that her face was white when she saw this scene, and she knelt down and folded her hands, "The aunt is also careless, it's all the fault of the black cat, don't blame the aunt......"
Here Hong is praying, and over there Hong Shun has jumped out of the pit.
"This ......," the man gasped at the sight of the scene inside the coffin.
"Lin Luo?!" Miao Miaomiao was also shocked.
I saw that in addition to Hong Hong's corpse, there was also a girl's corpse in the coffin, that was Lin Luo!
Her eyes were wide, her mouth was open, and her face was hideous.
The palms of both hands are upwards and the fingers are bent in the shape of eagle claws.
There were bloody scabs on the tips of all ten fingers, and according to the scratches in the coffin board, it should be caused by scratching in the coffin before his death.
Miao Miaomiao frowned: "It seems that what the guard said is true." ”
The sound he heard scratching the planks last night was from her!
God knows what kind of torture Lin Luo was subjected to before he died!
"Mother-in-law! Mother-in-law! Don't read it! Something is wrong! Hong Shun climbed to the ground with a roll, "Hurry up and report to the official, hurry up and report to the official!" ”
……
Detective's Office.
"Another one died." Si Yubai took a sip of tea leisurely, "Your Majesty ordered us to solve the case within ten days, otherwise we will directly cut off your dog's head." ”
The cold-faced black-robed man sitting opposite him didn't lift his eyelids after hearing this sentence: "You added the second half of the sentence, right?" False proclamation is a capital offense. ”
"Heh, little brat, and you're still scaring me with that?" The man in white was clearly dismissive.
"The original sentence is returned."
Si Yubai couldn't continue to talk to the person in front of him, got up and walked to the courtyard: "I'm going to find my little apprentice~ Where is my little apprentice?" ”
At this time, a lonely black cat was standing on a large piece of rice paper, and there was an inkstone next to it.
Her little paws were dipped in ink, and she wrote two sentences on rice paper: "The peach blossoms are gone, and the bright moon and breeze swim in a few places." ”
I sighed when I finished writing.
"Little apprentice, what are you doing?" Si Yubai's voice came from behind her.
"What about writing elegiac couplets...... the black cat said without looking back.
Lin Luo is the first person she came to this world to "talk" to her, and that emotion is always very special.
Moreover......
Miao Miaomiao thinks that she killed her.
If she hadn't shown her the jade pendant at that time, maybe there would have been no death.
The man picked her up, ignoring the fact that her ink-stained paws stained his white clothes: "What's the use of writing couplets here?" It's better to go to the autopsy with the teacher. ”
……
Jingzhao Province.
I saw a man in white holding a black cat into the morgue in the house.
The room temperature in the morgue here was obviously more than ten degrees lower than outside, and Miao Miaomiao shivered as soon as she came in.
"Yo-he!" Si Yubai saw a black-robed man in the morgue, "I didn't expect the chief detective to be faster than us!" The front foot is still drinking tea in the house, and the back foot is running here for an autopsy, are you afraid that the case will not be solved within ten days, and the dog's head will fall to the ground? ”
Si Detective Xing glanced at him, ignored him, and continued to examine the body.
Si Yubai, Si Zhenxing.
Miao Miaomiao thought at first that both of them had the surname Si and might be relatives.
It wasn't until later that she realized that one of them had the surname "Si Yu" and the other had the surname "Si Detective".
This is both a surname and an official position, appointed directly by the emperor and not subordinate to any department.
But what exactly the two of them do, Miao Miaomiao hasn't figured out yet.
If you have a chance, ask her Master again!
"I'm going to see it too." Miao Miaomiao jumped off Si Yubai.
Sniff and sniff.
"Did you smell her?" This fragrance is a bit special, Miao Miaomiao has never smelled it.
"Huh?" Si Yubai also bent down and sniffed, "She may have taken medicine before her death, and the smell between her mouth and nose is very strong." ”
"Maybe it's a drug, if you can find out what kind of drug it is, the source and destination of the medicine, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort."
"Hmmm! My little apprentice has a point. He touched her fluffy little head.
The black-robed man on the side looked at the black cat, and then at Si Yubai: "What did she say?" ”
"Oh, why should I tell you what I said in vain?"
These two ......
The corners of Miao Miaomiao's mouth twitched slightly, it was really uncomfortable not to quarrel!
When it comes to medicines, you still have to call in experts.
Liu Buyi was taken into the Jingzhao Mansion morgue and "hissed" as soon as he came in.
rubbed his cold arms, and then saluted the two men in the room: "Da Si Yu, Da Si Detective." ”
"Imperial Doctor Liu, you're here." Si Yubai grabbed his arm and took it directly to the side of Lin Luo's corpse, "You smell the smell between her mouth and nose, did you take any medicine?" ”
Liu Buyi sniffed, then took out a white cloth and put it on her mouth, stretched out two fingers to dig it through the cloth.
After a while, he pulled out lumps of viscous dark yellow substance.
"Whew-" Miao Miaomiao looked at the things on the white cloth with a disgusted expression, this form and this color, like something.
"What is this?" Detective Xing frowned.
"It looks like a mixture of several herbs, but what kind of herbs are they, I have to go back and study them carefully."
After that, Liu Buyi wrapped these things and put them in the box.
