With a solemn expression, she walked up to Bai Qiu, pushed the man away, squatted down, and picked up the broken bones at his feet.

Bai Qiu knew that Qu Youying hated people destroying corpses and bones at will, which would affect her judgment.

So when he saw that her face was wrong, he was very weak-hearted.

"I didn't mean to break it, I'm sorry. But it's just the foot bones, so it shouldn't affect your drawing, right? ”

"Don't make excuses for yourself."

Qu Youying interrupted him, and then broke the calf bone of the human bone.

Then to the thigh bone, and it wasn't until she saw the broken transverse plane at the sternum that she stopped.

But her move really stunned the others.

Even Mu Jingzhu, who was most familiar with her, didn't guess what she was doing this time.

But Qu Youying's eyes bent after a barbaric action, and she actually smiled.

"Brother Bai, you did a good job. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to find out! ”

Bai Qiu was a little frightened by her today, and her voice was a little trembling, "What did you find?" ”

"Look."

Qu Youying handed the severed bone to them.

In the sunlight, the cross-section of the broken bone can be clearly seen to be black.

"The blackening of bones after death is caused by poisoning before death. Moreover, this poison has been accumulated over many years, and the skin, flesh and blood will turn black after death, and even bones. ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the bones she had broken.

"From the ankle all the way up, only the bones below the pelvis are black, which shows that this person was poisoned before his death, and he was purposefully poisoned in the lower body, which will cause the bones of the upper body to not be abnormal. And this person is not only a foot bone, but also a whole body skeleton is different from an ordinary man, which is a little bigger. Therefore, I suspect that this man must be extraordinary among these deceased, so his portrait will definitely come in handy. Also, there may be traces of other bones being poisoned to varying degrees, so I need to examine them thoroughly and make a special list so that I can really find the right human bones and draw a helpful portrait. ”

She was still hesitating before she could paint the bones of the bones, but now she found the direction, and the more she talked, the happier she became.

The warm sunlight fell on her, with a scorching breath, and a thin drop of sweat fell from her forehead.

But she didn't care at all, and commanded Bai Qiu to start working.

"Brother Bai, you can gently scrape the bones with a knife, don't break it too savagely, it's disrespectful to the dead."

She saw that Bai Qiu was also about to break human bones, and kindly reminded her.

Bai Qiu was embarrassed, and he didn't know who was disrespectful to the deceased just now?

Smiling alone, he buried his head and got to work.

Qu Youying also joined, she needed to speed up, only the sooner the portrait came out, she could reduce detours and save time.

Mu Jingzhu saw that it was rare for her to work so energetically, so she smiled knowingly and wanted to join in to help.

But when he looked around and saw Su Yun, he sank.

"You, too."

"Me?" Su Tong decisively chose to refuse, "This son is not from the Yamen. I'll leave it to you here, I'll go first. ”

He refused decisively, and he walked simply.

Because come, just to confirm one thing.

He had been out of the courtyard for some time by the wall opposite the house, waiting for a man.

Seeing him come out, Mu Yu immediately greeted him and whispered, "Childe, he's already on the way." ”

"Okay."

Su Tong looked back at the busy figure in the courtyard, put away the fan behind him, and kept his eyes off for a long time.

Seeing this, Mu Yu asked intentionally, "Childe, are you really sure they found out?" ”

"Of course." Su Tong looked at the petite figure, hooked his lips and said with a smile, "Touching the bones and painting the skin is not a random bluff. If she could do it, then she would be the one who she was. You order people to keep an eye on you all the time, but beware of the wooden candles. This man is too shrewd. ”

"Yes."

Qu Youying was busy until dusk in the evening from that moment, and finally divided these white bones.

She straightened her sore waist, wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a big deep breath a few times, her eyebrows tightened, and she couldn't open her sorrow.

"Jing Candle, what kind of feelings do you say can make a person die so miserably?"

Without a careful examination, it is impossible to know what these people went through before they died.

At first, Qu Youying thought that they were just slaughtered, burned to death by swords, and some of them were poisoned.

But after a bone examination, she found that this was not the case.

Among them, the bones of several people were broken, but they did not separate.

It's like a person who has broken his limbs and crawls to live, but he can't die.

There was also a woman who had a fetus in her arms that had been formed, but she was killed before she was born.

Looking at the corpses and bones all over the ground, the corners of Qu Youying's eyes were a little moist.

Especially the female corpse, until the end of her death, her hands were protected in her abdomen.

It is a kind of protection, even if it is death, to protect the unborn child.

"Maybe it's hate, maybe it's resentment, maybe it's greed."

Mu Jingzhu stood behind her, his hand on her shoulder, his voice was slight, with a touch of fierceness.

"But either way, as long as that person does this, it will not end well."

"Yes."

Qu Youying clenched her fists and looked at the white bones all over the ground, her face serious.

"I'm going to have to find out what's really happening. Whether he lives or dies, he will pay the price for this place! ”

Next, she directly asked Bai Qiu to prepare things to prepare for touching the bones and drawing the skin.

As a result, I was busy for three whole days.

Qu Youying stayed in this abandoned mansion for three days and three nights, and finally successfully reconstituted the two white bones and handed over the portraits to Mu Jingzhu.

Mu Jingzhu stared at a man and a woman above, his face dark.

"What? Is there a problem? Your face doesn't seem right. ”

Qu Youying has been handling cases with him for many years and knows every habit of him.

"Nothing."

Mu Jingzhu's eyes were gloomy, and he handed the portrait to Bai Qiu, "Order someone to copy it, and then post a notice, if there is any news, report it immediately." ”

"Yes."

After Bai Qiu left, Mu Jingzhu found that Qu Youying was still looking at him suspiciously, reached out and flicked her eyebrows, and said, "You're tired, go back and rest." ”

"And where are you going?"

"Taiwei returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and he will pass through Xiangling Town today, and he is close friends with Xie Yuanwai, so he will live in the town for a few days. I need to accompany my dad to the reception. You go back and rest, and get the rest later. ”

It took her three nights to rejuvenate these calcified white bones, which were more difficult than Wang Shuya's facial bones.

She yawned, already too tired.

"Then I'll go back, and I'll be notified as soon as there is news."

She waved her hand, walked out of the abandoned mansion alone, and walked towards the gate of Qufu.

Usually, when she goes out without permission, when she comes home, she will not go through the door, for fear of being caught by her father.

But today, all the people in Xiangling Town went to greet the captain, and her family also has some connections with the imperial court.

So Qu Qingyang will definitely go with him.

So, she swaggered in through the main entrance.

Who wanted to, just went in, and collided with someone, which made her dizzy.

"Which one doesn't have long eyes?"

She rubbed her dizzy head and cursed.

But before he finished scolding, he was covered by someone and forcibly dragged aside.

It was so startled that her head immediately cleared.

"Don't talk."

The voice in his ears was obviously very crisp, but it was deliberately suppressed.

Very careful.

But Qu Youying already knew who it was.

However, she was imprisoned by him and couldn't break free, so she made a gesture of slipping away.

The other party understood and pulled her straight to her plum garden.

"Phew-I finally escaped, fortunately you came back, otherwise I wouldn't know where to hide, thank you!"

Qu Youying's exclusive rattan chair was occupied by a teenager at the moment.

He was dressed in a bright yellow embroidered gold robe, which was very dazzling in the sun.

A pair of eyes do not contain any impurities, clear but bottomless, the complexion is like jade, glowing with a ghostly light.

Lying there, the sun shines directly, like a beauty in the words, out of the dust and into the painting, which makes people dare not make a mistake.

Qu Youying kicked him off his rattan chair, lay down on it, and took a sip of water.

"Shouldn't you have come back two days ago? I worked alone for three whole days! It's good that you still dare to hide in my house and say, what bad things have you done again! ”

This person is Xie Xiaoer in Qu Youying's mouth, the baby son of Xie Yuanwai, the capital of Jiangnan, and the second in the family, Xie Bi'an.

Xie Xiaoer was supposed to come back in mid-May, but he was delayed on the road for several days, and it was not until a few days ago that the news came that he would return home in the near future.

That's why Qu Youying rushed to Mu Jingzhu to ask for help.

How do you know, he didn't come back two days late!

This is said that others will not say anything, but Qu Youying was angry when he saw him.

"You Lao Tzu went to meet the captain, what are you hiding from my house? Could it be—"

Seeing that he was silent, and his twittering temperament was very different from the previous ones, a guess flashed in her heart.

She leaned up and asked maliciously, "I heard that the Taiwei took this trip and brought the pearl in his palm back to his hometown." Do you have something to do with that young lady? ”

"There's something to do with your head." Xie Xiaoer waved his hand, shook his head and said, "That's not the case!" ”

"What's that?"

Qu Youying blinked her beautiful big eyes, fully showing her curiosity in front of him.

At the same time, she picked up the knife that Yun Shu put aside to peel the fruit and dangled it in front of him.

It means that if Xie Xiaoer dares to lie at all, she will cut him like a fruit!

She didn't dare to deal with Mu Jingzhu, but she never knew what it meant to be merciful to Xie Xiaoer.

Xie Xiaoer looked at her murderous smile, and also laughed twice with Hehe.

"Laugh at it, talk about it!"

Xie Xiaoer struggled for a long time, then sighed heavily, looked to the side, and only said after making sure that there was no one.

"I can tell you, but you can't tell anyone!"

Qu Youying immediately raised three fingers and swore seriously, "I swear, I will never say it!" ”

Xie Xiaoer glanced at her and knew that she was just talking.

But this matter, he is not sure to hide it in his heart, so he must talk to someone.

Xie Xiaoer beckoned at her and lowered his voice.

"I suspect this man is not a lieutenant."
