"Huh! How did this sludge fall on its own? These scars are ......"

Lin Hu pointed to the scratches on the bones to show Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng leaned over and asked, "Is it coming?" ”

"Here we are, I've been waiting over there."

"Call him. Although these scars are fine, they are very clear, and they look like they have been scraped by sharp objects. I need to know, what kind of tools did the killer use? ”

"What does the boss mean is that this is not an accident, but a murder?"

"Accidents? You've seen that accident make yourself look like this. Yanagi pointed to the bones under the skull: "After death, the human body will soon decompose. Being sunk in the mud may indeed accelerate the speed of the corpse's decay, but you see, this skull is still intact, the hands and feet are not seriously rotten, at least the muscle tissue is clearly visible, only the upper body and the lower leg skin and flesh are missing. ”

"Not only the flesh and skin, but also the internal organs. This bone seems to be just a skeleton of bones, and no traces of internal organs have been found. ”

"The murderer cleaned up." Liu Sheng squatted down, and with the assistance of the man, he cleaned up the mud on the corpse's sternum and the mud in the sternum: "Although there is a lot of mud on the bones, before sinking the body into the lotus pond, the murderer did a certain amount of cleaning up the inside, so the bones of the deceased can be so clean." ”

"Could it be that the murderer is a monster who likes to eat human flesh and drink wine with internal organs."

Lin Hu said, he ran to the side and vomited first. Liu Sheng shook his head and summoned the Yang Mansion housekeeper over.

At this time, the head of the female corpse was also cleaned out, although it had been soaked in the mud for a longer time, but the facial features were still quite clear.

"Please take a closer look at the housekeeper and see who this person is?"

"This ......," the butler approached a little closer with his mouth and nose covered, "Oh, isn't this a green branch?" is so dignified, how can it be her? ”

Sure enough, it's a green branch!

Liu Sheng immediately thought of Yingniang, and thought of what Yingniang said in the court. Now, it can be regarded as a dead and unopposed.

"Boss, do you think this thing is a little strange too?"

Lin Hu is coarse, but his heart is not coarse, and he soon thought of Yingniang, and when others were not paying attention, he came to Liu Sheng and asked such a sentence.

"Hmmm! Yingniang openly admitted in court that she was the murderer of this serial murder case, but she said that the main messenger behind the scenes was a green branch. It's a bit weird as it is. One is the proprietress of the bun shop, and the other is the maid of a large family, on the surface, this maid can't influence Yingniang's decision, let alone make Yingniang kill people. ”

"What's more coincidental is that Yingniang confessed her guilt in the court and threw out the green branch hidden behind the scenes, and the green branch was found dead in the lotus pond in the back garden of the Yang family, and it died so miserably." Lin Hu shook his head: "This thing is very strange!" ”

"Don't make a fuss about this beforehand, after you and I go back, I will return to my lord and interrogate Yingniang again."

"Don't worry, boss, Lin Hu has a spectrum in his heart."

Lin Hu said, stepped aside, but his eyes swirled around everyone on the scene, and finally locked his eyes on the butler of the Yang Mansion and the current real principal, Su Tianlin. If Green Branch is not the mastermind behind the scenes, then the one who can instruct Green Branch and coerce Yingniang must be someone with more status and status in the Yang family.

The housekeeper is the old man of the Yang Mansion, and he is also the most trusted person of the Yang Mansion before, and his status in the Yang Mansion is second only to the current Miss Yang and Su Tianlin.

Su Tianlin, the quasi-son-in-law of the Yang Mansion, has taken over the Yang family before he marries Miss Yang. This person seems to have no flaws, but in fact he is scheming, judging from his past comments, he is not a kind-hearted master.

In addition to the housekeeper and Su Tianlin, the young lady of the Yang family was also suspicious. This green branch is the maid in her yard, and she must listen to her orders when she acts on weekdays, if you really want to calculate it carefully, the suspiciousness of Miss Yang is even higher than that of this Su Tianlin.

Suddenly, Lin Hu thought of a very critical point, he hurriedly walked up to Liu Sheng, and whispered in a low voice: "Boss, do you still remember what Yingniang said in the court." ”

"That sentence?"

"Yingniang said that the green branch made her kill people in order to take the human skins of those people, and those human skins were used for medicine. When I investigated the murder of the Yang Mansion before, I had already checked this maid named Green Branch. She was sold into the Yang Mansion since she was a child, and it is no longer clear who her biological father and mother are. A maid without a father and mother went to great lengths to get these skins, if they were not for her to eat, they must have been for someone in the Yang Mansion to eat. Since it is used for medicine, then the person who takes the medicine must be suffering from a hidden disease. At least, this disease is not wanted to be known to outsiders. ”

"In that case, you can find out. There are not many good doctors in the Yang family. As far as I know, this Yang Mansion does not have its own private doctor, if you go to check, you can always find some clues. ”

"Doesn't the boss praise me?"

"When the case is over, I will ask the adults for credit for you."

"Yes, that's what you said, Boss." Lin Hu said, turned around quickly, and left the Yang Mansion.

The housekeeper has been paying attention to the movements of Liu Sheng and Lin Hu, and he knows that the officials next to him are just working at orders, and only these two are really powerful. It was about the Yang family, and the new deceased was someone from Miss Yang's side, so the housekeeper had to concentrate so as not to have any more accidents.

Seeing Lin Hu leaving, the housekeeper hesitated, walked up to Liu Sheng, and asked, "That Lord Lin hurried away, but what did he find?" ”

"Lin Hu, he's going to handle another case."

"Another case? Could it be that there is a new murder on this Yang family set? ”

"A new case has been brought to justice, and the killer has been apprehended. It's just that in the previous investigation, two people were arrested by mistake, and now they are still being held in the county jail. As soon as he saw the green branch, he thought of this matter, so he asked Lin Hu to go back and release the two innocent and tired people first. ”

"My lord just mentioned the green branch, could it be that the case in the county yali is also related to the green branch of my Yang Mansion?"

"The case of the government is indeed somewhat involved with the green branch girl, but the facts of the case are not yet clear, and some things are inconvenient to talk to you about in detail with the housekeeper."

"Little one understands." The butler lowered his body and stepped aside.

At this time, the corpse of the green branch had all been cleaned up. The cleaning was done very carefully, and the whole picture of the corpse presented was a little infiltrating.

The girl who was once alive can now only lie on the ground covered with silt. The green silk was mixed with the mud, and his face was swollen, and only his facial features could barely make out. On the female corpse's ear hung one earring made of silver, but the other ear was empty.

The cutting surfaces of the hands and feet are relatively intact, indicating that the murderer was also quite careful and harsh when peeling off the skin and flesh, because the parts left behind by the hands and feet are about the same size.

"How?"

"The deceased was a woman, probably between 15 and 20 years old, and because her body was missing part of her flesh, there was no way to determine the specific cause of death of the deceased and whether she had been injured before her death. Oh, the flesh and skin of the deceased must have been cut off with a knife. As for this murder weapon, it is very likely that it is the kind used exclusively for the butcher's door, and different props are used for skinning, meating, and deboning. The murderer was very professional and his methods were very neat.

In addition, judging from the traces of blood left on the bones of the deceased, it is very likely that the deceased was cut off while he was still conscious. It's just that the little one doesn't understand, this life has been scraped to the flesh and bones, and the facial expression of the deceased is very calm, which is a bit unreasonable. ”

"Anything else you've found?"

"Also, on the right ear of the deceased, there is a silver earring."

"It's not uncommon for the maids of the Yang Mansion to have earrings. Besides, this maid is still serving by the side of Miss Yang, and her status is naturally different from that of ordinary maids. ”

So, the little one is not talking about this earring, but about another earlobe of the deceased. When the small one was inspected, he found that the left earlobe of the deceased had been torn again. Because of the long time spent in the mud, the ears swelled, and the wounds were all squeezed into one place, but with the experience of many years of inquest of corpses, I can still conclude that the earlobe was torn by man. ”

"Be more detailed!"

"The deceased should have had struggles with people during his lifetime, at least before he died, and struggled. The earlobe on her left was most likely torn in the process of struggling or grappling. Judging by the marks of the wound, it is supposed that the perpetrator inadvertently pulled the earring of the deceased and then tore it off. Because the injury on the earlobe is vertically downward, under normal circumstances, this kind of injury cannot be caused. ”

"The murderer was a woman, and a woman of equal strength to the deceased."

Yanagi concluded. He looked at Yanagi and nodded.

"That's what the little one guessed as well. If it is a man, even a rather thin man, he is much stronger than a woman in terms of strength. In the case of disparity in strength, grappling does not need to be so strenuous, let alone aiming at the opponent's earrings in the grappling.

Also, those cuts. If the murderer is a man, he will be more ruthless, and the handling will not be so meticulous. Of course, it is not excluded that the other party is a serious and very particular professional killer. ”

"Is it possible that a ghost or a youkai?"

His expression suddenly became strange, and he glanced at Liu Sheng a few times before replying: "If there are really ghosts or monsters in this world, there is no need to be so troublesome to kill people and eat people." ”

"It's true that you don't have to be so troublesome, if it's really a ghost murder, you just need to swallow the green branch whole, why bother to take the skin and remove the bones." Liu Sheng said to himself, and asked again: "Can you tell if this deceased was suffering from an emergency before his death?" ”
