Chapter Thirty-Nine: Fanri

Xie Lingxu thought to himself, it wasn't you who died.

"Your Majesty, don't be afraid, you won't fall off if you hold on firmly, if you fall to this height, you should not be able to fall to death, you may have a broken ankle, a waist strain or a slight concussion, the main thing is to pay attention to your posture, and when you fall to the ground, you can relieve it with skill......"

The Emperor: "Spirit you...... Don't talk about it, I ...... I can't catch it, you ...... And then I. ”

Xie Lingxu walked under the emperor: "Your Majesty, the inertia of you falling from the sky is too great, if I catch you, my hand will break." ”

The Emperor: "I can't catch it...... No, no, I can't catch it......"

Xie Lingxu stretched out his hand: "Okay, okay, your majesty, I'll catch you." ”

As soon as the emperor's slender white fingers loosened, his thin body leaned back slightly, and he fell into the air.

Xie Lingxu caught the emperor impartially, but fortunately, the emperor was quite light, and the impact on his arm was acceptable. The emperor was stunned in Xie Lingxu's arms for a moment, looking at her indifferent face with a subtle expression, only to see Lingxu's brows twitch-

"Yike...... My hands are bleeding! Without saying a word, he spread his hand holding the emperor.

The emperor "bang", and his buttocks fell to the ground without any beauty.

Emperor: "......"

Xie Lingxu shook his hand and looked at him apologetically: "I'm sorry." ”

The emperor: "My waist, ......, you ......"

"What are you doing? How dare you throw the emperor to the ground! Shen Su walked towards the two people who were standing and lying down with an iron face.

Exercise...... I'm going to be scolded again......

Shen Sugang wanted to count: "You ......"

The emperor: "Shen Su, help me up......"

Shen Su glanced at Lingxu, humbly leaned down to help the emperor up carefully, and beckoned Yang Ling to carry the emperor back to the palace step by step, turned around and said to Xie Lingxu in a cold voice:

"If the emperor dares to be so reckless and reckless, I will not spare you."

Xie Lingxu couldn't argue, thinking that these officials would bully others.

Shen Su: "Okay, go back, don't make trouble for the emperor." ”

Groove ...... Labor and management have caused chaos to the emperor, and you can't see who the people who do chaos all day long?

Shen Su shook his sleeves angrily and turned his head away, Xie Lingxu was angry and funny in the same place, damn what kind of thousand-year-old wonder he had encountered, but in desperation, a trace of doubt rose sharply in his heart...... There is no reason for a person like Shen Su to be just willing to be a small eunuch, no matter how bad it is, he should be the prime minister of a country, even if the emperor is in name only, the court is actually a eunuch in power, but this reputation is not good in any case, since he has this ability, why not come to power directly, and simply stabilize the emperor's throne?

Power is an addictive poison, involving it will only get deeper and deeper, and the greed in his heart will only expand infinitely, so does Shen Su really care about the emperor so much, or is he acting on the spot, in fact, he already has the heart of rebellion in his heart?

Xie Lingxu raised his eyes and looked at the dark cloud-covered sky, the endless dark night seemed silent and depressing, as if the thin sky dome was about to be unable to support the heavy lacquer clouds, and it must have been a heavy rain that caught him off guard soon......

######

The Nine Governors' Gate –

In the orange-yellow cypress coffin, a medium-sized male corpse with straight limbs, hideous face, bronze skin visibly swollen, and blood foaming from the mouth and nose......

Xie Lingxu approached the narrow coffin and looked at it carefully for a moment.

Xiao Qixin was amazed at her shocking courage, and at the same time squatted down and said:

"The people of Jiudumen wiped the corpse with mercury and arsenic water, and the decomposition of the corpse was not serious, and it can be regarded as restoring the original appearance of the deceased at the first time."

"Hmm......" Xie Lingxu nodded slightly.

The deceased's head was raised back, his mouth and nose were slightly open, his neck was strangled with a deep purple mark, his hair was stuck to the side of his face and neck, and his thin coarse cloth was full of wrinkles and indentations.

Chu Xiu pinched his nose and said, "Strangled again?" ”

"No...... Not exactly. Xie Lingxu put on the gloves handed by Xiao Qixin on the side, and turned over the deceased's paralyzed hands and brain.

Xie Lingxu: "Drowning ......"

Chu Xiu: "Why? ”

Xie Lingxu pinched the corpse's fingers lightly: "Look at his hands, the fingers are very swollen. As he spoke, he tugged at the corner of his coat again: "The clothes are obviously soaked and air-dried." ”

Chu Xiu: "Not necessarily......"

Xie Lingxu turned the back of the corpse's head to the side: "Open your eyes and see clearly...... He had aquatic plants stuck to his ears, and the corpse stinks......"

Seeing Chu Xiu frowning and nodding while covering his mouth, Xie Lingxu turned his head and opened the deceased's clothes: "The abdomen is slightly distended, there is not much putrefaction gas in the abdomen, and the drowning time should not be long." ”

"Tsk...... On the foot, there is a rope loop on the right foot......"

The servant of the Nine Governors Gate humbly bowed his hand and said: "The deceased Fan Li was a woodcutter in Beishi, and he and his wife Wang Ping had a son, Fan Xiaoming, and the mother and son now live in Changzhen Street, Beichang. ”

"The deceased's family was ordinary, and according to Fanli's wife, Fanli had no debts during his lifetime, and he did not make enemies."

"The cause of death was determined to be that the deceased had been strangled by a rope and then thrown into the water and drowned. The murderer dragged the body to the mountain forest after killing the deceased, where it was found by passers-by passing up the mountain. ”

Xie Lingxu thought about it for a while, the deceased should have been killed in this way, as for the rope loop on the ankle, it should be a heavy object such as a stone that the murderer tied to sink the corpse as soon as possible, but ...... Why strangled the deceased with a rope and drowned him alive? The cause of death is obvious, and the murderer has no intention of covering it up, but such a troublesome method is either full of food or ...... The murderer is deliberately torturing the deceased, so is it the murderer who is psychopathic and indiscriminately kills innocents, or is it ...... The two do have an unknown hatred...... For now, it seems that this case is either an illogical serial killer's impromptu instigation, or it is a long-planned vendetta......

Xie Lingxu straightened up and took off his stinking gloves

Xie Lingxu: "Does his wife have any other information to reveal?" ”

Xiao Qixin: "Wang Ping and her son cried and made trouble when they saw the corpse of the deceased, they said that Fan Li was honest and had no enemies, and they never thought that he would be killed." ”

"Hmm......" Xie Lingxu nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Qixin: "Then should we interrogate Wang Ping and her son?" ”

Xie Lingxu glanced at the deceased's face and turned his back: "Maybe...... No, they shouldn't know anything. ”

"Okay then."

Xiao Qixin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Eh...... That's right. Xiao Jie, I have good news for you, last night, I found out the connection between the deceased. ”

Xie Lingxu's expression moved: "Oh, let's hear it." ”
