Chapter 13 Inspection
Wen Qing walked out of the alley depressed, and suddenly remembered that he had come out, Xie Yu hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so he bought two cakes on the way, and then went back to Yizhuang!
Back in Yizhuang, she found Xie Yu sitting listlessly at the door!
Wen Qing gave him the cake and asked, "What are you doing sitting at the door?" The people from the Criminal Department are gone? ”
Xie Yu took the cake and ate it in a big gulp, looking really hungry.
He mumbled, "Gone!" Sister Qing, where have you been? ”
Wen Qing walked in the door and said, "I went to the market and bought two clothes!" ”
Xie Yu followed behind her, "Then have you seen my master?" Said to go grocery shopping for half a day and didn't come back! ”
Wen Qing turned around and walked to the second floor, saying, "I didn't see it!" What's wrong? ”
"The eighteen corpses sent here this morning are strange, I'm not sure! I have to let Master take a look! ”
Wen Qing paused, could it be that Zhu Laoba really knew anything about the tragedy of the Song family's annihilation?
Three unopened tips, pretending to be missing......
Wen Qing didn't stop and pushed open her door! I hung the cloth bag on the wall, bowed and washed my face!
The cold water suddenly refreshed her!
"You can't always rely on your master, what if he is not there for you one day, besides, didn't he teach you everything?"
Wen Qing thought about it and decided not to tell him about Zhu Laoba first.
Xie Yu shook his head, "Even if it's a master, you may not be able to see anything!" ”
Wen Qing was surprised, "Isn't there any clue at all?" ”
Xie Yu said, "Why don't you go to the autopsy with me?" ”
Wen Qing wiped her face with a towel, thought about it, and said, "It's okay!" ”
She didn't want to go, but in the morning, when she heard the remarks about the tragedy of the Song family's extermination in the bazaar, her curiosity had already been aroused, and because of her profession, she would be more sensitive to these things than ordinary people!
Then the two of them went downstairs, and as soon as they came down, they saw Chu He coming in from the door alone, and when he saw the two of them, he asked, "Brother Xie, is your master back?" ”
Xie Yu explained to Wen Qing in a whisper, "I told Brother Chu in the morning to let him come back at noon, there are some things that I can only tell Brother Chu!" ”
Then Xie Yu turned to Chu Yun and said, "My master hasn't come back yet, it's really strange today, he would have come back a long time ago in the past!" ”
Chu Yun sighed, "Then didn't I come for nothing again?" ”
Xie Yu said, "How can you say it in vain?" Sister Qing is also here, I asked Sister Qing to help us take a look, maybe she can find something we can't find! ”
Chu Yun turned his gaze to Wen Qing with a puzzled expression, "Sister Qing? Who is Sister Qing? ”
Wen Qing couldn't help but wonder, it seems that he hasn't recognized himself yet!
She spoke, "Lord Chu, but you haven't seen me for more than ten days, and you forgot about me so quickly?" ”
Chu Yun patted his forehead, the confusion on his face suddenly became shocked, he heard Wen Qing's voice, and said incredulously, "Miss Wen? It's you! But... You... Your face..."
Wen Qing smiled and asked, "It was Uncle Zhu who cured my face, Lord Chu, is it good-looking?" ”
Chu Yun was a little stunned when he looked at it, and after a while, he said, "Okay... Good looking, good looking! ”
After a few more pleasantries, the three of them walked to the autopsy room in the basement together!
Chu Yunlu gave Wen Qing a brief introduction to the Song family!
"The Song family is a family in Luoyang City, the ancestral three generations are to open the dyeing workshop, the Song family dyeing workshop dyed cloth is famous, to the Song Qiaojiang generation, the cloth produced by the dyeing workshop is only for the palace, the Song family dyeing workshop has become the first major dyeing workshop recognized in Luoyang City, but despite this, the Song family daily behavior is low-key, never heard of enmity with others, the head of the family Song Qiaojiang is a great good person, on weekdays such as charity and other good deeds are not less, the clothes and skirts made by the tailors in the palace are all from the Song family dyeing workshop, which is a well-known thing, the whole family of the Song family was killed, and the source of cloth used in the palace for clothing was completely cut off, I don't know who was so bold that he dared to go against the entire palace nobles! ”
Speaking of the Song family's dyeing workshop, Wen Qing couldn't help but think of the conversation of those people in the clothing store!
So he asked, "Did Lord Chu wear the clothes produced by the Song family's dyeing workshop?" ”
Chu Yun looked at Xie Yu and said, "You have to ask Brother Xie about this!" ”
Xie Yu shook his head and said, "I didn't wear it when I wore it, and I believe that Brother Chu didn't wear it either!" Because the amount of cloth dyed by the Song family's dyeing workshop every month is very small, it is not enough for those palace ladies to rob! ”
Wen Qing nodded, a little puzzled, since the cloth of the Song family's dyeing workshop was so sought after by the nobles of the palace, why was there so little cloth produced every month? Is it because the production process is cumbersome and can only produce so much, or did the ancients already know how to starve marketing?
If it is the former, it is completely possible to increase the manpower, and if it is the latter, then the Song family is really powerful!
While speaking, the three of them had already arrived in the basement autopsy room, and eighteen corpses occupied a room!
Chu Yun said, "These eighteen people include Song Qiaojiang, his big house, two concubines, two sons, one daughter, as well as the housekeepers of the Song family and the workers of the dyeing workshop!" ”
Wen Qing lifted the white cloth covering the corpses one by one, and among the eighteen corpses, there were actually two children!
Wen Qing couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and she didn't even let go of the child!
Chu Yun continued, "According to people who have been in contact with the Song family, some time before the incident, they did not see any abnormalities in the Song family, and the tailors in the palace also urged them to ship the goods again and again, and the people of the Song family said that the cloth had already been dyed, but the two days coincided with rainy weather, and the cloth had not been dried, so it was delayed for two days, and there was no abnormality!" This morning, when the vegetable vendor who usually supplies vegetables to the Song family delivered the vegetables to the Song family, he called a few times outside, but no one answered inside, and then he found that the door was hidden, so he pushed the door in by himself! After entering, he found that everyone in the Song family maintained a movement, either standing or talking, or eating or playing, he was puzzled, patted one of them, never thought that as soon as he met the person, the person fell down, he trembled and probed his nose with his hand, and then found that there was no sound! ”
Xie Yu continued, "I have tested the corpse, there is no sign of poisoning, the corpse has no wounds, not even a bruise, the deceased's expression is natural, there is no pain!" ”
Wen Qing circled around those corpses, and indeed found no injuries on the corpses! But to her surprise, the skin on each of these corpses was still elastic.
If you refer to the time of the crime at the latest, these people have been dead for at least six hours, and it stands to reason that their bodies should have been a little stiff!
Immediately, she thought of what Xie Yu said just now, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Yu, what you just said, are these corpses weird?" Do you see something? ”
Xie Yu said with a solemn face, "I suspect that these people have been planted with Gu worms!" ”
"Gu worms?"
Wen Qing felt that her scalp was numb, and she subconsciously took her hand back from her body!
She remembered all kinds of legends she had heard before, these legends were not groundless, perhaps, there were such mysterious things in ancient times.
Didn't she come across a few cases? Antiseptic insects, anti-bed insect incense, and her face are also cured by insect medicine!
"You said that you can't be sure, you want your master to palm your eyes, do you want to judge whether these corpses have been planted with Gu worms?"
Wen Qing remembered that Xie Yu had told her that Zhu Laoba was a Gu magician when he was young!
However, Xie Yu shook his head, "I just want Master to be sure that these people... Is it true or not... He's dead! ”
Wen Qing gasped and said, "Impossible, these people are definitely dead!"
