Chapter 165: Beads

Li Xueyan looked at the things that Duan Yunfei had found carefully, and Li Xueyan had also studied the things he had written down, but he couldn't find any clues from these things alone.

The only thing that is certain is that it is not that simple.

At the beginning, the Duan family was accused, and the result of the county government's sentence was the same, saying that this person was beaten to death. As for why the Duan family killed a subordinate who was working in their family, no one has delved into this. After all, the value of subordinates in this era is not as good as that of animals, and Li Xueyan still knows this.

Especially the subordinates of some large families, if they make the owner unhappy, it is normal to beat or even kill them. If the government really takes care of all these things, they can't manage them. What's more, this kind of parent is short, and it can't be clear, if you really think about it, it will make people's heads a few laps bigger, so you can ignore this kind of thing.

But Duan Yunfei said that this person did not look like he had been killed.

Instead, it's like using some other method to kill people first, and then whipping marks on the body.

"Whip corpse, what is this? It's too lacking in morality, isn't it? After hearing this, Gu Hengzhi couldn't eat the meat sandwich bun, and the things he had experienced were not as good as Li Xueyan, not to mention, and even Duan Yunfei was not as good as Duan Yunfei. It can be said that Gu Hengzhi is the eldest young master that Li Xueyan knows the most, except that he does not have the eldest young master's shelf.

So when this kind of thing happens, he is often more surprised than others.

Although Li Xueyan didn't have such a strong sense of justice, when she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but secretly clench her fists. Whether it is the people of the Duan family who did this kind of thing, or who deliberately killed and framed them, this kind of behavior of covering up the truth after the death of a person, Li Xueyan is very despised.

"You take those to Cao Zhuang and they to eat, and then give the payment, I'll go to that room to see the situation." Li Xueyan said to Duan Yunfei that she had to go and see it in person to rest assured. Otherwise, even if this matter was handed over to Duan Yunfei to do, Li Xueyan felt that she might miss something.

Duan Yunfei hurriedly said, "You don't have to go and see it, right?" It's pretty ...... there. It's scary, I'm ready to let Cao Zhuang and them return the people. ”

Duan Yunfei said that it was scary, but it was more euphemistic, people had been dead for a few days, and there were still wounds on their bodies that had not been cleaned. It was not packed with that kind of insect-proof coffin, and it was buried underground, and the current situation is really a bit miserable.

So Duan Yunfei didn't really want Li Xueyan to see that kind of scene, not to mention that person was still being stripped of his essence now.

Li Xueyan smiled: "What else do I dare not see?" Never mind. ”

Duan Yunfei had no choice but to put his mind at ease and let Li Xueyan go to see it, and he followed Li Xueyan's instructions to arrange Cao Zhuang's affairs.

After Li Xueyan walked to the door, she found that Gu Hengzhi had been following behind. Li Xueyan looked back and smiled: "What? Do you want to go in with me? ”

Gu Hengzhi nodded.

"Not afraid?" Li Xueyan smiled defiantly.

Gu Hengzhi was unconvinced, "What are you afraid of?" You don't look down on people anymore, okay? Even Deng Mingyou may not be afraid of this level, let alone me. ”

"Then let's go in." Li Xueyan smiled, pushed open the door and entered.

She asked Cao Zhuang and them to put the body in a room with better secrecy, after all, if this kind of thing is discovered, it can't be said clearly, so they still have to be careful.

The moment she pushed the door open, Li Xueyan smelled a strange, disgusting smell coming from inside, so much so that she almost went back the way she came.

Li Xueyan suddenly felt very sorry for Cao Zhuang and them, and should double the reward from the beginning of the preparation.

How did they endure the smell of digging people out of the coffin and moving them over? And after moving here, he stayed in it with Duan Yunfei for so long? Li Xueyan felt a little guilty in her heart.

I don't know if they were seen along the way, and if they did, would they suspect that they had done something bad......

"That smells terrible, isn't it? Smoke me to death! Gu Hengzhi, who was following Li Xueyan, almost jumped up, Gu Hengzhi felt that the most unpleasant things he had smelled in his life were not as good as the smell at the door of this room today, and he simply jumped to the top of the championship by surpassing all the unpleasant smelling things before.

The most important thing is that it is only to the door, if it is closer, then what is it?

"Don't jump, this house is relatively low, and you'll be hit on the head later." Li Xueyan pulled out a handkerchief and covered her nose and said, this smell is really a bit high, and it is really difficult to stay in the house without finding something to filter it.

Thinking of Duan Yunfei and Cao Zhuang having been in it for so long just now, Li Xueyan felt that they were really a little powerful.

"Let me start with it, it's not that I'm too timid to look at it, it's mainly that it smells too bad here. Why don't we go and watch it, anyway, haven't they all seen Duan Yunfei? Gu Hengzhi said.

"Are you saying you're not backing down while you're retreating?" Li Xueyan mocked mercilessly.

Gu Hengzhi said: "It's not a question of whether you can retreat or not...... Can you stand the smell? Gu Hengzhi pinched his nose, and his voice became thinner.

"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, just go in and see it and get out quickly?" Li Xueyan didn't care about Gu Hengzhi anymore, she walked in first and began to observe carefully.

Things had developed like this, and Gu Hengzhi felt that he couldn't say anything more if he refused, so he had to endure the extremely unpleasant smell and walked in with Li Xueyan.

While Li Xueyan was observing the corpse, Gu Hengzhi was also watching from the side. He had listened to Duan Yunfei's words before, so he didn't feel anything new when he watched it now.

Gu Hengzhi pursed his lips, that Duan Yunfei is still very serious about doing things, he can observe so carefully in this environment, if he is ...... It's not sure if you will come in and see it.

Li Xueyan changed several places to check carefully, but did not find any anomalies that she had not found before. She'd been in there until her nose was failing, and now she seemed to get used to smelling corpses.

"Let's go, it seems that there will be no new discoveries, Duan Yunfei is still observing very carefully......" Li Xueyan stood up and was about to leave, and her voice suddenly paused.

"What's wrong? Did you find anything? Gu Hengzhi couldn't stay anymore, hearing Li Xueyan's voice was like hearing an amnesty order, and Li Xueyan's sudden pause made him a little nervous.

"There seems to be a ...... Wait a minute. Li Xueyan squatted down again, stretched out her hand, and gently poked the deceased's throat through a handkerchief.

As she thought, there was a foreign body sensation when she touched it.

Gu Hengzhi originally thought that Li Xueyan could endure such a smell and come into the house to see, and it was already powerful to stay for so long, but he didn't expect that she could make a more daring move, and actually reached out to touch the corpse, although it was separated by a handkerchief.

"Is there a knife?" Li Xueyan asked.

"Knives? How small? Gu Hengzhi was puzzled what to do with the knife suddenly at this time.

Li Xueyan said: "I don't know how young it is...... It's a dagger, is there a dagger? Her voice raised slightly, and her tone quickened a little, looking a little anxious.

Gu Hengzhi was probably also driven by Li Xueyan's emotions, and hurriedly looked for a dagger on his body, moving quickly, as if he was performing some important task.

Fortunately, Gu Hengzhi was nervous, but he was not flustered, and finally remembered that he did have a dagger on his body, instead of looking around like a headless fly.

Soon, a small dagger was handed to Li Xueyan. After Li Xueyan took it, he took the dagger and handed it to the neck of the deceased, Gu Hengzhi was startled and hurriedly grabbed Li Xueyan's wrist.

"What do you want to do?!"

Li Xueyan said as a matter of course: "There is something blocked here, I have to know what is inside." ”

"This is a great disrespect to the deceased, just dig up the body and steal it before, if you do this, you will really be punished, I'm not scaring you!" Gu Hengzhi was a little excited, and his words were a little warned.

Of course, Li Xueyan knew what he was nervous about, and she could also understand Gu Hengzhi's taboo. After all, Li Xueyan can still understand the thoughts of people in this era, and in ancient times, there was indeed no or very few professions similar to forensics. Even those who kill pigs will be feared by people, and the smell of blood on their bodies is heavy, let alone the knife on the dead.

But since Li Xueyan has found the problem, she wants to figure it out, otherwise what she did before would not be in vain? And she has already noticed that something is wrong, if she doesn't continue to observe, Li Xueyan herself will feel that she is too lost.

"I know," Li Xueyan pushed Gu Hengzhi's hand away, "It's okay, if you feel disrespectful, go out first, I have to know what he has here, otherwise I won't feel at ease." ”

Gu Hengzhi saw that she had a tough attitude, so there was nothing to say, since Li Xueyan had already said so, what else could he do? However, Gu Hengzhi didn't think that Li Xueyan was suitable for doing this kind of thing, so he took the dagger from Li Xueyan's hand.

"Is it cut from here?" Gu Hengzhi reached out and pressed the place where Li Xueyan began to press with his fingers, and he could also feel that there seemed to be something inside.

If there is to be retribution, let him bear it.

Li Xueyan nodded.

Cut out of the deceased's throat was a pretty bead, not particularly round, and with no marks of polishing. Li Xueyan didn't know who it belonged to, and she didn't know why there was such a thing in his throat. Could it be that the cause of death was that the bead was stuck in the throat? Li Xueyan guessed.

"Do you think this bead was the direct cause of his death?" Li Xueyan asked casually.

Gu Hengzhi's face was also a little solemn, he shook his head, "I can't say this clearly, but this bead is not very round, probably because of this, it was not swallowed, as for whether it died because of this, I don't know." ”

"It's okay, let's take it back and have a look. But this person doesn't seem to be very familiar...... Have you seen it? Li Xueyan asked, she always felt that Gu Hengzhi was always looking at the deceased's face as if he was not looking, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Gu Hengzhi didn't give a clear answer directly, but frowned and said: "I don't remember where I've seen him, but I don't think it's the first time I've seen this face, but maybe it's my illusion, after all, I feel this way for many people." ”

"Then why don't you draw it first, and then slowly remember it when the time comes?" Li Xueyan proposed that if the identity of the deceased was known, it would still be of great help to her at that time.

Gu Hengzhi smiled and said: "No, I remember, I have studied Danqing, and I am quite impressed by people's appearance." ”
