"Back to Madame's words, the little tail finger of the cadre's right hand is indeed different from the left hand. The fingertips were flattened, as if they had been slashed off by something. Shen Jiu lowered his eyes and said: "It's just that there is no obvious human injury on the tail finger, Shen Jiu doesn't think this has anything to do with his death, so he didn't mention it to his wife." ”

"Hmm." Yan Su nodded and returned his gaze to the woman's face: "Do you want to go and see the dried corpse?" ”

......The woman hesitated for a long time, and after taking a deep breath, she nodded: "The woman wants to go and see." ”

Shen Jiu took the woman out, but Yan Suwen felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable in her heart, she called Er Rong over, bowed her head and said a few words to her, and the uncomfortable feeling in her heart dissipated slightly.

After dinner, Yan Suwen lay down on the bed and took out the medical case that he hadn't finished reading before. After looking at it for half an hour in a trance, I realized that I didn't even read a word. Outside the window, there was the crow of a crow, one after another, as if it was mourning.

Just after the hour, the porter came to report that someone had carried something and placed it at the door of the general's mansion. Those people, put down their things and ran, and were caught by the guards of the General's Mansion who noticed that something was wrong. There were four of them, all beggars, and they were all disabled. The doorman interrogated for a long time before a beggar replied with a snort, saying that the box had been sent to the ruined temple.

The man was dressed in black, and wore a hat on his head, which was covered with a black veil, so that it was impossible to see his true appearance. After entering the temple, he ordered the four of them from a pile of beggars and said that they should deliver the box to the door of the general's mansion. The man also said that the contents of this box were very important to the distinguished guests of the General's Mansion, and that they would definitely deliver them. If it doesn't work out, just wait to report to the Hades Palace.

The beggars were all a little discerning, and they knew that they had to do it if they didn't do it, so Ma Yuer carried the box and came to the general's mansion. I don't know what this box contains, and it's quite heavy to carry. They were afraid of death, and they didn't dare to see it.

The old horse guarding the door was a distant relative of the deputy general Ma Liu, and after the beggars dispersed in a hurry, he hurried to give Ma Liu. Ma Liu didn't dare to make decisions in private, so he gave Gu Yunfei a kiss overnight, and Gu Yunfei asked the doorman to inform Yan Suwen.

At this time, the feeling of uneasiness in Yan Suwen's heart became stronger and stronger, she got up quickly, didn't even bother to put on her coat, and took Errong and Youbai to the gate of the General's Mansion.

The box had been opened, and inside was a relatively fresh corpse, which Shen Jiu was inspecting. Hearing the voice, he knew that Yan Su was coming, so he immediately stopped what he was doing and introduced: "The deceased is male, about forty-five years old. A deep gross was found in the neck of the deceased, but strangely enough, this gross did not appear to have been formed all at once, but rather to be left over a long period of time. ”

"The deceased may have been imprisoned or even tied up for a long time." Yan Su asked and analyzed.

"It should be, but unfortunately the deceased's legs and hands are gone, and he can't face up to whether there are traces of being tied up in the limbs of the deceased."

"Lost both legs and hands?" Yan Su asked if he wanted to move forward, hesitated, and then retreated: "What else?" ”

"The deceased's face was quiet, just like the dried corpse we found earlier, and the two looked similar. In addition to the groove around his neck, the deceased's eyes were pierced and his tongue was cut off. Also, the deceased had only a robe on his body, and the skin on the upper half of his body had been cut off. If our guess is correct, the fresh human skin on the dried corpse we found in the old mansion of the Hong Mansion was cut from him. ”

"Shen Jiu, can you confirm it?" Yan Suwen took a deep breath and felt his limbs getting colder and colder.

"The incisions are similar, and the location of the missing skin on the deceased's body is very consistent with the human skin found in the Hong family's old house. This reservoir city is a small border city, so it is impossible for such a coincidence to happen. Shen Jiu was about to turn around to look at Yan Suwen, but saw that Yan Suwen had already arrived at his side.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Shen Jiu saw that Yan Suwen was nervously excited, and her body swayed, so she quickly took off her disposable sheep intestine gloves and helped her.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell, or let's stop watching, I will help you and Youbai back to your room to rest. ”

"It's the eldest uncle." Yan Suwen said softly, and her heart was suffocating.

Since receiving the letter at the Beiliao Inn, she has a faint feeling that her eldest uncle, who has been missing for two years, will appear, and knows that it must be a particularly bad result. After seeing the dried corpse and the human skin on the dried corpse in the Hong family's old mansion, this feeling became stronger and stronger, but she was still trying her best to reassure herself, hoping that what had happened was just a prank by others.

But now, there was no way she could avoid the bad feeling, for she had seen the face, the face that had become dirty and obscured by her hair.

The nest in the wooden box was none other than her eldest uncle Yan Baishu, who had been missing for two years. Goshoya

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to the time when she had just gone to Yecheng. The eldest uncle stood at the gate of the city, and looked at him carefully. At that time, he was no different from an ordinary, loving elder. But now he is blind, his legs are broken, and even his hands have been cut off from his wrists. Coupled with the human skin that was artificially stripped off, there was no good place on the whole body. She looked at the wounds, they were all injuries before death, and they all had life reactions, which showed that the murderer was the one who moved when he was alive. She couldn't imagine that scene, let alone what kind of hell her uncle had experienced.

Those things in the past, although a little unpleasant, but it is difficult to write two faces, he has always been his eldest uncle, and he has always had a blood and family connection with her current body.

"Miss, do you see clearly? Is he really a big man? ”

"You guys, you should see it too, right?" Yan Suwen asked softly, only to feel that his whole body was cold, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell down the steps in front of the General's Mansion.

"Ma'am, there's a letter in this box." Shen Jiu took out the letter pressed under the corpse, handed it to Yan Su and asked, "The ink on this letter is talented, and it should have been put in by the murderer along with this letter when he put the corpse in the box." ”

"Miss, why don't you let the slave read it?"

"No, you hold me, I'll see for myself."

Doctor Shen said that the letter may have been put by the murderer. This murderer's methods are so cruel, if he smeared poison or something on the letter, wouldn't the young lady want to—let the slave come, at this time, the young lady can't make a little mistake." ”

"Miss, you can let Errong open the letter. Big deal, let Errong take the letter, you look at the content. Youbai also persuaded on the side.

"You have to be careful, too." Yan Suwen handed the letter to Er Rong.

"There's a young lady here, Er Rong is not afraid." Er Rong opened the letter and held it up to Yan Suwen, while Youbai asked the person next to him for a lamp, supported Yan Suwen with one hand, and lifted the lamp with the other.

"This letter was written by two men. The first half of this letter is in the handwriting of my great uncle, who asked me to leave Kucheng, but also told me not to go back to Yecheng. He also said that those people were all crazy, saying that they deceived him with a splendid future, glory and wealth, and also deceived Xuanhou Ye. The eldest uncle also said that those people had bigger plans, and they would definitely drag the entire Yan family, and even the Gu family, into it.

I also know the handwriting behind this, and it comes from the same hand, or even the same pen, as the letter I received at the Beiliao Inn. He said that the dried corpse found in the underground of the old mansion in Hongfu and the eldest uncle in front of him were gifts from him, and he also told me clearly that he had brought the news of my eldest uncle's death back to the palace and reached the ears of my eldest sister and third sister. ”

"What does he mean by that?" Youbai asked puzzled.

"He just wanted to tell me that he was further dividing the feelings of our three sisters, and even blamed the death of my eldest uncle on me. What he has to deal with has always been not our Yan family, but the Gu family. In other words, when he first planned, he had already decided to use the Yan family to deal with the Gu family. ”

"What now? Do you want to tell Xiangye? ”

"To say, but not now." Yan Suwen motioned for Er Rong to put the letter away.

"What the hell is that scoundrel trying to do? Murder is murder, why send this person to the young lady. Forget about the eldest master, the eldest lord is the relative of the young lady, and he wants to use the corpse of the eldest master to stimulate the young lady. But that dried corpse has nothing to do with the young lady. ”

"That dried corpse is the stand-in that the people behind the scenes are looking for for my eldest uncle, and the reason why they peeled off the skin of the eldest uncle and wrapped it around that person's body is also to tell me that that person is the stand-in of the eldest uncle, and there must be more than one such stand-in in Dawei. The eldest uncle was deceived and acted as a pawn of that man. ”

"The slave is still a little confused." Youbai pursed her lips.

"They must have promised the eldest uncle very good conditions, otherwise, according to the temperament of the eldest uncle, he would not be easily tempted, let alone easily deceived. They took advantage of the mentality of the eldest uncle who was eager to replace my father, or even surpass my father, to carry out a series of schemes, and in these schemes, the eldest uncle and these stand-ins of the eldest uncle must have played a big role. More carefully, the bad guys who put it on the surface are all the faces of my great uncle. ”

"Then what did they do with the old man?"

"I don't know, but sooner or later we'll know." Yan Su asked and pointed to the letter in Er Rong's hand: "This murderer is a very arrogant person, and he is the kind of character that I want you to know if I do any bad things." Wait, when he can't bear it anymore, he will naturally tell us what he has done with the Yan family. ”
