Chapter 0027: Mourning

If you can find more yesterday, will you be able to save this host?

However, shaking their heads, Pei Heng and Xie Yu were not trapped in this matter, but stepped forward separately and began to examine the corpse.

The state of this corpse is no different from the previous corpses, although there were traces of struggle, but in the end they were burned to death.

"This murderer is really a bit powerful." Xie Yu looked at the scene and searched for other clues.

When Pei Heng heard this, he also sighed: "Within a month, ten people were killed in a row. And there is no trace of the scene, this person does have some means. It's just that I don't know what this person is acting for. ”

In other words, he also searched the scene.

And Xie Yu on the side listened to Pei Heng's words, and her heart sank suddenly.

Within a month, 10 people died one after another, but there was no progress in the case. Could it be that this thing is going to become a headless case like this?

More importantly, will the murderer continue to commit crimes next? If he continues to commit crimes, what is the purpose of this murderer?

For a while, Xie Yu couldn't help but feel that her head was as big as a fight, and her mind was full of confusion and she didn't know what to do.

——

The mourning period of the sixth child is set today, because Wang Xiang'er is a weak woman, Xie Yu and others follow to help.

The soul-attracting white sail hangs outside the Wang family's house, and the suona plays a lamentation. The crowd helped Wang Xiang'er bury his father, and according to the custom here, the relatives of the deceased were to burn the deceased's clothes in front of the grave.

So Wang Xianger returned home and prepared to sort out the clothes left by the sixth child.

The cabinet of the sixth child was as messy as usual, Wang Xiang'er took out the clothes and shoes he wore before his death, sorted them together, and took them to the grave of the sixth child at night, staring blankly at the mound in front of him, with indifference between his eyebrows and eyes.

The fire in the brazier became brighter and brighter in the night, burning Wang Xiang'er's face hotly, she threw the clothes worn by the sixth child in the brazier one by one like a walking corpse, and just took out the second piece of clothing, she found that there was very obvious dust and mud on the clothes, rummaged through the package, and finally found that the soles of a pair of shoes were stained with mud.

She sighed helplessly, her father had not changed his habit of being arrogant since he died.

This incident happened suddenly, and after the sixth child was buried, Xie Yu's sixth sense was to tell her that things were definitely not that simple, so she immediately went to investigate the cause of death of Hui Chan and others.

Hui Chan's body had decomposed slightly, and the pungent smell came to his face. Xie Yu frowned, held back her breath and checked Hui Chan's body, which she didn't know if she didn't check, and she was startled when she checked it.

Xie Yu found that there was a hole in Hui Chan's stomach, the wound was not big, far from death, but the only suspicious thing was that the wound was not caused from the outside to the inside.

The wound on his body was as if something had torn his skin from Hui Chan's stomach!

Xie Yu frowned, now it was really the point of the case.

If you can't judge the tools of the crime, then it will greatly increase the difficulty of the case.

She covered her nose and called out to the pestle, reached out and gestured at the wound on Hui Chan's stomach and asked, "You may see what the tool used to cause the wound of this deceased man?" ”

The pestle looked at it, then shook his head, the flesh on the deceased's stomach had begun to rot day by day, and the wounds were not of different lengths and were not caused by sharp weapons.

"But one thing I can be sure of is that the wound is indeed from the inside out, but it is difficult to see the murder weapon."

Xie Yu looked at the carrion on Hui Chan's stomach, and suddenly remembered something in his mind, he had seen a fierce eagle hunting on the side of the street before handling the case.

It flapps its wings and flies, then tears its prey in half. The body of the prey is of different lengths like this!

This is the pestle who also said the thought: "You see, this wound does not look like a piece of carrion that has been torn apart. ”

Yes, a piece of torn flesh! Therefore, the cause of Hui Chan's death is most likely that something in his body broke out of his stomach and bleed.

Xie Yu nodded, although it was only speculation and inconclusive yet.

But this is too suspicious, if there is really anything, how can it be in a person's body for a long time?

Suddenly, several Buddha statues appeared in her mind, but she didn't know why, the recent Buddha statues always came to her mind.

Xie Yu quickly went to Cui Yun's place, but she didn't find any trace of Cui Yun.

"Where's Lord Cui?" Xie Yu's words were fast, and she was worried that she wouldn't let the murderer take the lead just after discovering something.

Master Liu replied: "My lord has gone to find Master Pei." ”

What the? Cui Yun went to find Pei Heng? It's really unusual!

He also went to find Pei Heng because he learned that several of the deceased who had died tragically under the fire before were now hastily buried in the woods on the outskirts. In Cui Yun's opinion, this is not only worthy of the dead, but also causes panic among the people in the city.

Since Pei Heng was the official in this case, the person he naturally looked for first was Pei Heng.

When Xie Yu found Pei Heng, Cui Yun also stood beside Xie Yu with his hands in his hands.

Pei Heng was dressed in the imperial court, with an awe-inspiring masculinity between his eyebrows, a sword at his waist, and his eyes like torches.

"Your Excellency." Xie Yu saluted the two of them in a proper manner.

Pei Heng nodded and asked, "Have you heard that the dead who were burned to death before have been buried in the woods in the suburbs at will." ”

Hearing Pei Heng's words, Xie Yu's hands clenched slightly, and there was a slight trace of anger in her heart: "These local officials don't do good things and want these people to die in vain!" ”

Not only that, but those officials did not have a trace of respect and mercy for the deceased souls.

"But I suspect there are only two possibilities for local officials to do this." Pei Heng stared at the dense trees in front of him thoughtfully: "The first possibility is that those officials want to get through the trick and skip this matter." ”

"And the second thing."

If it is really like his second thought, then this case is really a bit deep.

Xie Yu's eyes widened and waited for Pei Heng's next step.

"Second, maybe these local officials want to destroy the corpses, for fear that we have clues to find." Cui Yun continued.

Xie Yu had doubts in her heart before, and she also told the two of them about the wound on Huichan's stomach before.

In order to solve the doubts in Xingxing, she also volunteered to go to the forest to check on the corpses.

"My lord, let me check it out, the villain has doubts about this case from beginning to end." Xie Yu bowed her head and said sincerely.

Pei Heng raised his hand, and the yamen behind him was ready to go, and then his phoenix eyes flashed with a sparkling look: "Since you are so diligent, let's go together." ”

After all, there were many corpses buried in the forest, and this Xie Yu was already thin, so he was afraid that he would be uneasy to go by himself.

Cui Yun watched everyone go to the forest together, and Pei Heng also had the intention of letting his people follow, so he had no choice but to take someone to explore the corpse.

A large number of people went to the forest and were amazed by a field of birds.

The patrolling hounds circled the woods many times, and finally barked wildly behind a bush. I think the dead were found.

The corpses had been hastily buried, and in order to examine the wounds, they had no choice but to ask the subordinates of the yamen to dig up the dead from the soil again.

The sound of hammers and shovels alternated, but fortunately the soil was not compact, and it did not take much time.

Xie Yu looked at the corpses that had been dug up, each of them was covered in charcoal black, and the smell of decay spread out. Xie Yu tore off a piece of cloth from her cuffs and wrapped it under her nostrils, lest she be smoked by the stench of the corpse before she even handled the case.

Although the corpses were carbonized, the wounds on the abdomen of these people were particularly evident due to the fire.

Xie Yu put on gloves and fiddled with the corpse with her hands, and her heart was clear, sure enough, this matter must be inseparable from the death of Hui Chan before.

The features are obvious, and the asymmetry of the wound tear is equally high.

Seeing this, Pei Heng stepped forward, and it seemed that it was really as Xie Yu said, these people seemed to be all around a case!

Xie Yu stood in place, and suddenly pulled her legs and ran, everyone was a little puzzled, could it be that she saw something unclean? ?

She didn't speak, but went to the grave of the sixth child by herself.

Now for her, Pei mistakenly killed a hundred, and she didn't let go of one.

She was sure in her heart that the death of the sixth child would not be so simple.

Only a few days later, the grave of the sixth child was already covered with grass. Xie Yu picked up the shovel and didn't care about anything, just shoveled it on the grave of the sixth child.

The head of the coffin popped out little by little, and she sped up, but fortunately, she was quick to pick up the matter at the same time, otherwise it would be hard enough for her to pry the coffin.

Xie Yu took the crowbar and pried the coffin board in front of her again and again, and the coffin was really nailed tightly enough!

It took a lot of strength Xie Yu had to open the Nanmu coffin in front of her, the dust was coming, and the smell of corruption rushed straight to her nose, she fanned the dust in front of her, and coughed violently.

However, after opening the coffin of the sixth child, she realized that the king's burial was indeed a bit hasty, and even his clothes were not properly worn after his death.

Xie Yu jumped into the coffin where the sixth child was, and used the branch he picked up before to pick up his clothes, and sure enough, a terrifying wound appeared in front of Xie Yu's eyes.

It's about the same size, and it's a tearing wound!

Could it be that the deaths of these people were all done by the same person?

They didn't find that the sixth child had a wound on his stomach before, because someone had quietly sewn up his stomach after the sixth child died.

It just so happened that there was a loophole in the coffin of the sixth child, so after death, the body breathed, and the wound that had been sewn up before was ruptured.

The viscera inside was clearly visible, and the wound was exposed, as if it had been dragged down by something, and inside the coffin, the sharp-eyed Xie Yu also found something!

It's a long worm with black all over it! It was almost a finger long, although the bug was dead, but Xie Yu took a lot of effort to pull the bug off the carrion behind the sixth child.

It's like this bug...... It's already one with him.
