Chapter 248: The Man Who Died of Thirst
For the time spent on the road, the morning sun had risen over the eastern horizon, and the dazzling light sprinkled the earth and shone on the crowd of people watching the excitement.
The warm temperature made fine beads of sweat appear on everyone's foreheads, but they all stayed where they were for the excitement in front of them, refusing to retreat, so that the people in the yamen who came to investigate the case had almost nowhere to put their feet.
Fortunately, he brought a team of soldiers over to evacuate the crowd, so that more and more people did not watch the excitement.
Murong Lin's right hand kept rubbing the knuckles of his index finger, which was a movement he usually did when he was thinking.
At this time, his brows were tightly locked, and a pair of bright eyes were also a little darkened at this time, as if what was in front of him made him particularly difficult.
The corpse that fell to the ground was completely clothed, and there were no jade ornaments, gold or silver on it, but this person described it as withered, unkempt, and his lips were white and frightening, and there was a lot of dead skin.
Next to the body was a tattered cart with half a bucket of muddy water in its barrels. Perhaps due to the movement of this person on the road, as well as the calm for a long time, half of the muddy water that was originally muddy and unbearable has also precipitated half of the sediment at this time, revealing a thin layer of clear water on the surface.
This man put one hand on the handle of the cart, and the other hand stretched forward desperately, and a pair of deep-sunken eyes were round, like the eyes of a dead fish, looking as if they were dead.
The closest place to this corpse, in addition to Murong Lin, who was standing and contemplating, there were also many people from the yamen, and an elderly Wuzao squatted next to him to check.
The head of the Yacha team didn't have a nervous look at first, but after seeing Murong Lin also rushing over when he heard the sound, he immediately changed his attitude, and he must have noticed that this matter was very small.
An Jing worked hard to call his men to evacuate the people, so that all the outermost idlers here retreated.
And the people who lived near the entrance of the alley and the corner of the street stood at the window behind their doors and looked out, so that An Jing had nothing to say.
"Lord Shizi, all the people who can be evacuated, we have all driven them away, but this place is special, presumably this news will not be blocked for long."
"yes, I see." Murong Lin pinched his thumb deeply under his index finger, and with a turn of his eyes, he could see the people hiding behind the windows peeking.
The people here have never experienced anything like a dead man, and at most there has been a verbal fight.
And now in the weird dry season, a person suddenly dies, and he can't hide all the news perfectly, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of panic in the whole city.
If the panic is fierce, not only will it not be able to suppress it, but I am afraid that it will also alarm my father, who is anxious about the lack of water in the city.
Although Murong Lin also grew up with a thousand dignity, he had a different kind of pride in his heart, how could he imagine the scene of disappointing his father
"After you checked, what happened to this corpse? What is it for. Murong Lin let go of the snake's crescent-shaped nail print, which was still on the knuckle of his index finger.
He stretched out his finger and pressed his eyebrows gently, regardless of the scary corpse, he directly lifted the hem of his clothes when he was dirty underground, squatted next to the corpse, and watched the movements.
The people who can do this industry smoothly are absolutely very people with strong endurance. In the face of the dead corpse's fearless behavior, he only nodded respectfully at Murong Lin, and was not afraid that he would feel disgusted when he saw the dead man, so he directly pulled up the dead corpse's eyelids and explained.
"Lord Shizi, please see, this person's eyelids are bloodshot, which means that the feeling he felt before he died was definitely very painful." Although Murong Lin was a little unaccustomed to this, he still held back, but the group of people who joined in the fun, after seeing the dead man's eyelids rolled, suddenly closed the window, not daring to listen to the rest of the story.
"And this man is thin, his skin is dry, his lips and tongue are white, and his tongue is black, and it does not look like he was poisoned, or he was killed by a heavy blow." Seeing that Murong Lin didn't react, he lowered his eyelids and continued the movements of his hands, opening the mouth of the dead corpse according to what he said.
Fortunately, although Murong Lin was in a half-squatting state, he was still some distance away from the mouth of the dead corpse, and he was very lucky not to smell any strange smell.
"And if he dies of fright because of his poor health, this person doesn't have a hideous expression on his face, and he doesn't look like it." After finishing the investigation of the appearance of the corpse, and thinking that this place was in front of the public, and the impact of dissection on the spot was not good, he stopped what he was doing and stood up.
Murong Lin followed closely behind and stood beside him.
"Then according to the old doctor, what could have caused his death?" This profession has always been despised by people, and anyone who hears about things like autopsies will be extremely indignant in their hearts, but this industry originally belonged to the medical industry, so Murong Lin's title can be regarded as a very high honorific title for him.
The old man was moved in his heart, and when he was about to speak, he coughed twice just right, which made the people who were already a little scared even more worried.
"If the old man didn't guess wrong, this person died of dehydration." The coughing sound kept ringing in his ears, and Murong Lin's whole person seemed to have been hit violently and froze in place.
"Thirsty?!" There was an uproar all around, and An Jing swept around the people around him very dissatisfied, but it couldn't play any role.
At this time, Feng Xiaoyue, who rushed over after hearing the sound, stood at the corner of the alley not far away with Xiao Yu, and heard all the words here clearly, Feng Xiaoyue pulled the handkerchief in her hand, raised her leg and was about to walk over, Xiao Yu hurriedly stopped her.
"What's wrong? If you're afraid, just wait for me here, and I'll come when I go. ”
"No, I'm worried about Miss." Xiao Yu glanced at him with a frown, then looked at Murong Lin in the distance, and sighed with emotion in his heart.
"Since Miss is not afraid, then I have nothing to excuse, I just hope that Miss will not look too carefully at that time, so as not to affect the night's sleep."
"Miss is already sleeping lightly, if after today's fright, she can't sleep at night, and her body can't be well maintained, what should I do?" Xiao Yu was in a hurry, and the words began to become more, Feng Xiaoyue couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly took her hand to stop it.
"Okay, I know, I'm not a child, I don't need you to be so noisy, we'll take a look and come back."
"Today's incident is just an accident, I hope you don't make a public announcement." Murong Lin also knew that his words would not have any effect at all, but it would be good to think that they could be of a little use.
At the beginning of this year, it was a sunny day for several days, and it has not rained until now, and one person has died of thirst until now, how can those people not worry about their future lives.
Even after Murong Lin comforted him so plainly, they were still scared. Murong Lin was also very urgent in his heart, and he turned around and was about to say a few words to An Jing, when he saw Feng Xiaoyue's figure standing behind the wall.
"I'll leave this place to you in advance, and I'll come when I go. After placing the body in Yizhuang, remember to hand in the report of the work as well. ”
"Yes." An Jing blinked his eyes, and followed Murong Lin's eyes to see Feng Xiaoyue not far away. I noticed that Lin Xiao was not followed by her side, so I didn't have the intention of saying hello in the past, and after answering the next word, I continued to work on the matter at hand.
Over there, Feng Xiaoyue saw the tragic situation of the underground corpse clearly, and couldn't help but stay in place in shock, Xiao Yu on her side kept shaking her actions and didn't notice it, Murong Lin just appeared in front of her.
"Why are you here? As is customary, you've just gotten up at this time. Murong Lin had a smile on his face, and he quietly blocked in front of Murong Lin, and also blocked her view of the corpse.
A person suddenly appeared in front of her, which made Feng Xiaoyue startled, and after seeing who it was, she took out her handkerchief a little uncomfortably and wiped the tip of her nose.
"You know, I'm just curious to come and take a look, and I won't bother you or anything."
"Just as you have given so much for me, I also want to share one or two for you." Feng Xiaoyue raised her head and just happened to crash into Murong Lin's deep eyes, Xiao Yu took a few steps back in a row when she saw this, separating the distance.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I still don't want you to get involved in this kind of thing." Murong Lin gently tightened the cloak for her, and put two hands on her shoulders, persuading firmly and affectionately.
"How many times have I protected you from this kind of blood, even if you have such good intentions, how can I be willing to let your pure heart see such a dirty thing." Although this is a bit hypocritical, it can be heard from his heart.
Feng Xiaoyue was inevitably moved in her heart, and she also stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder as if she was heroic.
Murong Lin was a little stunned, and when he reacted, Feng Xiaoyue returned to his original state.
"I heard all the things just now, that man died of thirst, didn't he?"
"Yes." Now that they have all been seen, Murong Lin has not concealed it anymore,
"I also think it's strange why someone would die of thirst on the way back from delivering water, even though it shouldn't have reached such a point of exhaustion."
"I had the same doubts as you when I first heard it, but I thought about the incident I told you the day before yesterday, so that it seemed to be explained." The person entrusted to him is none other than An Jing, who is not at the same time as Feng Xiaoyue.
An Jing was beckoning his brothers to help clean up the mess when he suddenly felt an itch in his nose and sneezed violently.
"We just found out that there is something strange about the stranger buying and selling new wine, and this is the death of a person, don't you think there is a great connection between the two?"
