Chapter 272: Tracing (Medium)
"Madam, the last general is not at ease, or the last general will follow them and try to find out the true identity of this dried corpse." When Ma Liu saw Yan Suwen staring at the dried corpse, he knew that he should avoid it.
Although this lady did not indicate his identity, Ma Liu could see that he was not the wife of the new general, and his identity was even higher than the current General Gu. As for the Mr. Shen beside her, he looks like a magnificent character. The word grandeur, to put it in general, is actually a feeling. It's the same as when you meet a down-and-out boy and a street beggar on the street. The former, even if he wears a beggar's suit and holds a broken tea bowl, that posture, that bearing, and that look at people will give you a feeling that this person is by no means a beggar, and he must not be a beggar. The latter, even if it is dressed in fine clothes, is like playing. Born in this thing, it was cultivated in the womb of the mother, and it is not pretending to be like it.
This Shen Gongzi, every gesture is a rich and noble son's style, can make him obey orders without even a word of rebuttal, this lady is by no means simple. Just now I heard the maid next to the lady mention the words "big master", and I knew that the origin of this dried corpse was not simple. This kind of thing is very complicated at first glance, it is better to listen to more ears than to listen to less ears, it is not your own business, so you can hang it high.
Seeing that Yan Su asked for permission, Ma Liu did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly took the two people out of the courtyard.
"Dare to ask Madame, did this person also die of Gu poison?"
"He has no signs of being hit by Gu." Yan Suwen carefully checked the physical condition of the dried corpse: "Anyone who dies by Gu must be extremely painful before he dies, just like the Gaoyi County magistrate you saw before. But if you look at this dried corpse, his expression is normal, whether it is on his face or body, he does not show the slightest pain. ”
"Then the cause of his death is ......"
"Peel off his coat first, and I'll take a closer look."
"Let's let me come, Madame is pregnant, I don't know what is strange about this dry corpse, Madame better stand away." Shen Jiu blocked Yan Suwen one step away from the dry corpse.
"Okay, listen to Dr. Shen." At this time, Yan Suwen was inconvenient, protected his stomach with his hands, and moved his head out a foot's distance.
"The deceased was male, who should have been between thirty-five and forty-five years old at the time of death, with no obvious external injuries on the surface of his body." Shen Jiu carefully investigated: "The deceased was not caused by external injuries, and there were no obvious signs of poisoning on his body. This man died a really strange death. ”
"Got a knife? The autopsy was performed. Yan Su asked, taking a few steps back.
"People have become dried corpses, is the autopsy still useful?" Shen Jiu asked suspiciously.
"If you can't find the cause from the outside, you have to start from the inside of the body. Except for the Gu poison effect, I never believed that this person would turn into a dry corpse for no reason. There must be a reason, and this reason is usually the easiest for us to ignore. ”
"Listen to Madame." Shen Jiu took out a special scalpel from his body, then laid the dried corpse flat and began to dissect it little by little.
"What did you find?"
According to Shen Jiu's level, the deceased did not suffer from a major illness before his death, and it can be ruled out that he died of a sudden illness. Stomach ...... of the deceased There was nothing in the stomach of the deceased! ”
"Nothing?"
"Yes, there was nothing in the deceased's stomach, it was clean, as if he hadn't eaten for many days. This corpse was unlike any other. If it is a normal corpse, the food in the stomach will rot with the decay of the corpse, and after such a long time, it will definitely decay. But this is a dried corpse, whether it is the external physical characteristics or the internal body structure, it is relatively intact, and this stomach is so clean, it is a little unreasonable. ”
"It's really unreasonable, if he is a beggar who starved himself to death without eating or drinking, it is normal. Judging from the way he dressed, he was by no means the kind of person who couldn't afford to eat or drink, and he was starved to death, which was indeed a little incomprehensible. ”
"Could it be that the murderer deliberately didn't let him eat and drink, so that he could be made into the dried corpse we see right now?"
"Starved to death, and put into a dried corpse in a hole in a haunted house, what does this murderer want to do?"
"Not only was it made into a dried corpse, but it was also wrapped in a fresh layer of human skin on the surface of the corpse." Shen Jiu pondered: "This murderer, didn't he know that this corpse was going to be discovered, so he did it on purpose?" So what is his purpose? What are you reminding the person who found the dried corpse? ”
Yan Suwen thought of the letter related to his eldest uncle, but he didn't say it in front of Shen Jiu. She stared at the dried corpse, looked at it for a while, and said, "Let people bring this dried corpse back to the General's Mansion first." If it was really the murderer who deliberately lured us here, then there would definitely be a discovery on Ma Liu's side, and it was a big discovery. "Excellent reading books
When it was time for dinner, Ma Liu came back, just as Yan Suwen said to Shen Jiu, he did make a lot of discoveries. Ma Liu not only confirmed the identity of the dried corpse very smoothly, but even brought back a news related to Yan Suwen's eldest uncle Yan Baishu.
"This is Madame, and this is Mr. Shen." Ma Liu introduced the woman who was following him.
"The folk woman Cailian has seen Mrs. and Mr. Shen." The woman fell to her knees and hung her head very low.
"Ma'am, this is the family of the dried corpse, his wife."
"Married wife?" Yan Su got up and walked up to the woman: "How are you sure that the dried corpse that General Ma said is your husband's?" ”
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the women don't dare to deceive, this corpse was told to the women. If it weren't for this, how would the woman know that her husband had already been killed, and that he was in the ghost house not far from the woman's house. The woman hid her face and wept, "If you think it counts, it must have been four years ago." At that time, the woman was working at home with her husband, and suddenly a figure dressed in gold came. He first took it seriously, carefully looked at the husband of the people's wife, and then asked him if he was willing to improve the life of his family, and if he was willing to let our family live a good life.
Suddenly, such people came and said such inexplicable things, and the women and husbands naturally didn't want to deal with them. But those people can't afford to offend at first glance. The husband thought about it for a long time, and only asked them what he wanted him to do. They didn't speak, but took out some clothes for the husband of the woman to change into in person. It's strange to say that after my husband is dressed up, he is somewhat similar to the leader, who is particularly expensive at first glance. ”
"Do you remember what the leader looked like with a particularly noble looking figure?"
"She looks like the husband of the people's woman, but she looks younger and more expensive than the husband of the people's woman, and it seems that she is also better-looking." The woman thought of the wording: "Oh, by the way, he smells of medicine, the same smell of the doctor who has been in the hospital all the year round. Faintly, the folk woman seemed to hear someone call him Lord Yan. Lord Yan, it's Lord Yan. He should be a good doctor, because his subordinates told Fu Jun that they asked Fu Jun to help this Lord Yan. They also said that after the matter is completed, not only will they give their husband a sum of money, but he will also be able to learn some medical skills, and in the future, he will open a medical clinic here casually, and our family will never have to worry about food and drink. ”
Lord Yan, medical skills, after the matter was completed, uncle, letter, these bits and pieces, through the woman's words, seem to be connected.
"When did your husband leave with them?"
"The day they came. At first, the woman did not agree, and the husband of the woman was not willing to go. But looking at their attitude and increasingly ugly faces, the husband was worried that they would be unfavorable to our family, so he had to reluctantly accept it. ”
"After that day, you and your family, have you ever seen your husband?"
"I haven't seen it, but every few months, there will be a letter sent from Yecheng. Those letters were all written by the husband, and some silver tickets were included in the letters. The husband said in the letter that the silver tickets were given by the nobleman. He asked me to stay at home in peace, take good care of my father and mother, take good care of the children, and said that I would be back in a while. Every time, he said that, but year after year, he never came back. But the noble man came back once, but he didn't say anything, but left some money, and left. ”
"When did that noble man come?"
"Two and a half years ago, I can't remember exactly when it was." The woman shook her head.
"Then what you just said, someone told you about the corpse, what's going on?"
"Two days ago, in the middle of the night, it was already past the end of the night, and the woman was suddenly awakened by a strange sound. Just as I was trying to check it, I suddenly heard a voice. The voice told the woman that her husband had died two years earlier, and that the person who killed him was surnamed Yan. The voice also told the woman that her husband had died a miserable death, and that his body was hidden in the haunted house not far from the woman's house. ”
"Why don't you look for your husband's body, since you've been told that it's hidden in a haunted mansion?"
"It's not that the women don't want to go and look for it, but at that time, rumors have begun to spread in the city that a few children are playful and have found dried corpses in the haunted house. The corpse has been seen by the people's women, but the people's women really can't imagine what this dried corpse looks like. The woman wanted to see it, but she was worried that the dried corpse was really the husband of the woman who had been missing for many years, and at that time, how would the woman tell her mother-in-law at home and her children. The woman thought about it, maybe if she didn't look at it, she could still think a little bit in her heart. Moreover, since this dried corpse was discovered, there have been many more officers and soldiers around the haunted house, and even if the women want to go in and see, they can't see it. ”
"You haven't seen it, how can you be sure that the dried corpse in the haunted house is your husband?"
The voice said, and when General Ma went to look for the people's wife, he asked about the people's clothes when they saw her husband for the last time. When he left, he was wearing the same clothes that the noble man had given him. The woman remembered very well that the middle coat that the woman was wearing at that time was gray. In addition, the husband of the folk woman was injured in the small tail finger of his right hand. The injury was inflicted when I was a child, and it was not obvious, but compared to the left hand, the little tail finger of the right hand was obviously broken. ”
"Little tail fingers?" Yan Suwen didn't pay attention to the hands of the dried corpse at that time, but Shen Jiu had seen it.
