Chapter 022: Cause of Death

"What the second girl means is that this Jingyun was strangled by the little marquis!"

"I didn't say that." Yan Su asked to loosen Jingyun's collar: "Jingyun's neck is very beautiful, it is a standard swan neck, and there is no trace of neck lines on the neck, if it is not born beautiful, it is good at maintenance." Because of the long neck, good skin, and fair skin, this strangulation mark is also more obvious than that of ordinary people. ”

"The second girl's words sound a little strange."

"Is it strange? It's just a matter of facts. Yan Suwen took a step back and looked at Jingyun who was lying on his back: "This Jingyun was not strangled to death. ”

"Not strangled to death? But the second girl just said......"

"I just said that the strangulation marks on Jingyun's neck are very similar to the woman's belt that covered the face of the little marquis, and I didn't say that Jingyun must have been strangled by that belt, let alone that Jingyun was strangled by the little marquis."

"Is there a difference?"

"It's a big difference. Let's talk about the strangulation marks on Jingyun's neck first. I just said that Jingyun is very beautiful, not only the facial features are beautiful, but the neck is also beautiful. Because she was naturally beautiful and fair-skinned, the strangulation marks left on her neck were also obvious, so obvious that people could see the patterns imprinted on the surface of her skin at a glance. In addition, the area of the strangulation marks is wider, not as narrow and long as that left by ordinary ropes, and the strangulation marks are shallow, and they are not like the marks that will occur under the stranglers of ordinary ropes.

When I was just standing at the door, I had noticed the woman's belt covering the face of the little marquis. The belt is bright in color, exquisite in workmanship, and the embroidery technique is also very chic, and the pattern is not the common kind, as a woman, it is natural to take a few more looks. When I opened the collar of Jingyun's coat, the first thing I saw was the lines left between the Jingyun strangulations, which were almost the same as the patterns on the belt. That's why I said what I just said.

Oh, and also, I suspect that the strangulation marks on Jingyun's neck were not left before death, but after death.

If this Jingyun is strangled, she will struggle before she dies, and when her hands are not bound, she will subconsciously grasp the murder weapon that strangled her neck, and there will be traces of grasping on the ten fingers of her hands.

I've just seen that Jingyun's hands droop naturally, and the nails are beautifully trimmed, with no signs of wear or touch. In addition, it is her expression, which is peaceful as if she is asleep. You've seen the strangled man be so calm after death. ”

"When we practice in the mountains, we have never seen people strangled to death." Jingyu muttered quietly on the side.

"Have you heard of the hanged man? The thing used for hanging is similar to that used for strangulation, and the reaction of the corpse after death is also very similar. In short, the person who was strangled to death was miserable. Yan Suwen pinched his neck with his hand: "When this is just strangled, people will not die, they will subconsciously struggle desperately, in order to relieve the pain of being suffocated, the strangled person will stick out his tongue and breathe heavily." As the rope tightens, this struggle will slowly subside and turn into a convulsion. Also, the person who was strangled will have excrement on his lower body, and the scene will become filthy and smelly. But you see, the room is quite clean, and there is no smell other than a slight corpse odor. ”

"Second girl, have you ever seen someone strangled to death? How do you know in such detail. ”

"I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run." Yan Suwen let go of her hand, and said in her heart that in order to survive in her previous life, she really did it.

"What do you mean by this, Second Girl?"

This means that I have heard what I said above. There is an old man in our Yanjiazhuang, who used to be a servant of the county government, and I often go over to listen to his stories when I have nothing to do. I heard a lot about this, so I naturally wrote down some of it. ”

"Second Miss Yan is so special, she likes to listen to such stories when she has nothing to do."

"That's a good story." Yan Su asked and answered casually, and when he finished answering, he realized that the sentence just now did not look like what Jingyun asked.

Looking up, a pair of familiar eyes followed, followed by a familiar face.

"Gu Changfeng? How are you here! ”

"Naturally, it's for the murder in this room." Gu Changfeng took off the snow and handed it to Gu Yunfei behind him, but his eyes never left the face that Yan Su asked: "I'm curious, why Yan Er Girl is here." Could it be that you have something to do with the murder in this room?"

You're related, your whole family is related!

scolded in his heart, but he had a fake smile on his face: "What kind of joke is Master Gu, how can the little woman have anything to do with the dead in this room." ”

"Then please tell me Second Miss Yan, why are you here?"

"I'm—"

"The second girl was invited by the poor nuns." Jingxuan stepped forward and gave a salute: "Jingxuan has seen Xiangye, but I don't know that Xiangye came in the snow, Jingxuan has missed the distance, and I ask Xiangye to forgive me." ”

"Pure Xuanshi is too serious." Gu Changfeng walked into the room: "Please also ask Mrs. Shi to explain what the following sentence means." ”

"Oh, yes. The second girl came with the old lady of the Yan family last afternoon, and the third girl from the Yan Mansion was also there. When I got up early today, something happened in the backyard, and the poor nun panicked, so she went to Mrs. Yan to ask for an idea. The old lady was unwell, so she asked the second girl to come over and have a look. No, it's just been a while, and you're here. ”

"You're here with your old lady?" Gu Changfeng didn't pay attention to Jingxuan, but looked directly at Yan Suwen's eyes and asked.

"If Gu Xiang doesn't believe it, you can go to the front yard to have a look. The grandmother and the third sister lived in the guest room in the front yard, and the carriages and horses and servants of the Yan family were placed in the small courtyard under the mountain according to the rules of the meditation nunnery. ”

"I didn't disbelieve you, I just didn't expect that you were accompanying the old lady up the mountain, I thought it was ......"

"Why do you think so?"

"Xiangye thought that the second girl was sent to the nunnery by the Yan family." Gu Yunfei couldn't help but interject.

"Why do you think that?" Yan Su looked at Gu Changfeng puzzled.

"Because ......" Gu Yunfei only said two words, and was blocked back by Gu Changfeng's eyes.

"Mrs. Yan doesn't have any difficulties for you, right?"

"It's too late for my grandmother to like me, why be me." Yan Suwen tiptoed, only to find that Gu Changfeng was not a star and a half taller than himself, no wonder he always felt that his momentum was a little weaker when he met him. In addition to the difference in power, the most obvious thing is height. "Oh, I know, Gu Xiang wishes I was embarrassed by my grandmother and the people of the Yan family."

Gu Changfeng raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, but Gu Yunfei next to him looked like he was in a hurry to say something.

"What else do you have to say about this scene?"

"Is Gu Xiang asking me?"

"What do you say?"

"Huh." Yan Su asked with a dry smile: "Gu Xiangzi asked me, after all, your eyes have never left me since you entered this small courtyard." However, before answering your question, I would like to state one thing, what I have said before and after is only my personal opinion, and does not have any significance in court. ”

"The Yan family I've seen doesn't talk as much nonsense as you."

"That's because there are more Yan family members that Xiangye hasn't seen." Yan Suwen muttered quietly, feeling the chill around him, he hurriedly raised his face and smiled, and said, "I still have a few words to say about Jingxuan." ”

"Say!"

"I don't promise that what I'm going to say will not be."

"Yan Su asked!"

"The strangulation marks on Jingxuan's neck are posthumous injuries, so I said that she was not strangled to death."

"What about the evidence?"

"There's no evidence, it's all just the experience of hearing from the story, so I'm not responsible for what I'm going to say next."

"Good, good!"

"Then do you still want to listen to Gu Xiang?"

"Speak!"

"To put it simply, if the deceased is strangled before death, the strangulation marks will be dark red after death, with a shade of blood, and then turn black. If it is strangled after death, there is no blood shade, only white marks, and then it will turn brown. Gu Xiang can take a look at Jingyun's neck, her strangulation marks are shallow, this depth is obviously not enough to strangle a person to suffocate to death, and her strangulation marks, which are in line with what I said above, are brown. ”

Gu Changfeng glanced at her, walked directly to the big bed, and flicked Jingyun's collar with his fingers.

"Is it the same as what I said?"

Yan Suwen's tone was flat, but if it fell into Gu Changfeng's ears, it would be suspicious of inviting merit. He glanced at her, but didn't respond.

"If this pure cloud was not strangled to death, how did it die?" Gu Yunfei interjected at the right time: "And the little Hou Ye lying over there, how did he die?" ”

"How do I know?" Yan Suwen pulled her arms, she was in a hurry to go out, her clothes were thin, and now she took off her coat, and she was shivering with cold.

"You better know!" Gu Changfeng motioned for Gu Yunfei to give him the big drum, and after getting it, he threw it away and threw it to Yan Suwen.

"Why did you throw your clothes at me, they were heavy."

"Put it on!"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid you'll freeze yourself to death before you tell me the answer."

"I have clothes." Yan Suwen pointed to the coat that was held by Jingyu.

Gu Changfeng glanced at it and repeated, "Put it on!" ”

"Put it on, put it on, why are you so fierce."

Yan Suwen muttered as he draped the big over his body, and then wrapped himself in it with two hands. I don't know if it's an illusion, but after a while, she felt that her body was warm. On the big gun, there was a trace of a familiar smell, which she had smelled when the temple was broken, it was the smell of soaphorn.

The clothes are Gu Changfeng's, and the taste is also Gu Changfeng's, Yan Su asked himself if he was a person who had never seen a man, but at this moment, he was inexplicably flustered.

Gu Changfeng, who was standing on the side and always looking at Yan Suwen, was in an inexplicably better mood after seeing the flush on her face.

"Give you two hours to find out the cause of their deaths."

"What if you can't find it?"

"Then I will send you to the Marquis Wenyuan Mansion as a murderer."
