When Zhuang Siyan and the others arrived at the Criminal Department, most of the people there had already dispersed.

Jia Mingyuan had also returned to the inner hall, and was looking at the case files that had been sorted out, when he saw Zhuang Siyan coming back, he was busy putting down the things in his hand, and went over and said, "Brother Si, these are all corpses that have been claimed, and the family members told them about their conditions before they died, and they also roughly said why they were in the river protection team." ”

Zhuang Siyan said "um", didn't look at the case file on the table, and only asked him: "How did they recognize those corpses, when you examined them, most of them had turned into bones, and the rest were unrecognizable, even if one or two were intact, their faces were deliberately scratched." ”

Jia Mingyuan explained: "These are all family members who are gone, and they are about the same age as our autopsy, so I came to see them, and then recognized them through the details of the undamaged parts of the body." ”

In this era, DNA cannot be tested, and these are the only methods that can be used, but Zhuang Siyan still feels that this matter is not so reliable.

The extent of the destruction of the corpses is too great, and the adoption rate is too high.

"So, you have people visit them, compare them with the files, and see if what they say is true, preferably with neighbors or something.

Fortunately, there are only more than a dozen, otherwise I don't know how much more work it would be. ”

Jia Mingyuan took the case file and asked urgently: "Brother Si suspects them of telling lies and receiving fake corpses?" Why? Those people are already like that, if they are not their own relatives, what are they going to do when they bring them back? ”

Zhuang Siyan looked back at him, spread his hands and said, "I don't know, but I think there is still something strange about this matter, you can arrange someone to visit first, and then talk about it when there is a result." ”

After she finished speaking, she turned around and went out, and turned around and stuffed Jia Mingyuan with a yellow silk cloth as if she remembered something.

Jia Mingyuan didn't know what to do, so he opened it when he got it in his hand.

This opened, knelt on the ground with a "plop", and shouted "Long live".

Zhuang Siyan glanced back at him, then didn't say anything, didn't let him get up, and left first.

Isn't it just a transfer? Ling Tiancheng is not here, what is he doing? She gave it all with a plug, but Jia Mingyuan stood in front of Ling Tiancheng and respectfully performed all the salutes and thanked him, and then he got up and reread the content of the holy decree again.

Only he was appointed as a squire of the Criminal Department, mainly responsible for the case of the moat.

He also wanted to catch up with Zhuang Siyan and ask about Xu Ning, but when he came out, Zhuang Siyan had already gone away.

Jia Mingyuan carefully put away the holy decree, and went back to sort out all the case files, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart that it would be better to send someone to visit.

Later, I thought of Xu Ning again.

He wandered around the capital, and he was better informed than others, even if he didn't deliberately visit, maybe he would have a different harvest.

Thinking so, he asked him to pack up all the case files and go to Xu Ning's residence.

Xu Ning has been busy eating and drinking everywhere all these years, and he won't say tomorrow after today, so in Beijing, there is no courtyard for the house, and he only rents a thatched hut from someone else, or in the corner of the slum.

Jia Mingyuan came here once, to send the drunk Xu Ning back, and he couldn't bear the environment here, almost covering his nose, walking through the narrow and dirty streets.

I don't know whose little boy was still peeing on the side of the road, and when he saw someone coming, he didn't lift his pants in a panic, so he turned around and ran home.

The puddle of urine stains on the ground by the side of the road was still steaming hot and smelling, and some household garbage was thrown not far away, and two wild dogs were pulling at the garbage heap.

At the end of the alley, I saw a crumbling house, the thatch on the top was broken a lot, and it was estimated that when it rained, it would leak inside.

The doors and windows were also in tatters, half open and half closed, and there was no sound inside.

Jia Mingyuan stood in the courtyard and shouted a few words, only to hear Xu Ning answering inside, and then walked out with a smile: "Brother Jia, why did you come here?" Anyway, I'm not particularly fostered here, there is a smell of coaxing everywhere. ”

Jia Mingyuan's face was red when he said it, and he didn't know whether to go into the house or not.

On the contrary, it was Xu Ning, who looked at him comfortably, and then also saw the cloth bag he was carrying in his hand: "What Brother Jia is taking, it won't be a burden, you were kicked out by your family, do you want to come and take refuge, hahaha." ”

Jia Mingyuan was speechless, until he heard him laugh, and he still looked at him unfinished before he spoke: "Brother Xu, you can live in a better house, it's really not good, it's okay to go to my house to live." ”

This sentence made Xu Ning laugh again, and this time it was even worse, his tears of laughter flowed out, and he replied after a long time: "Brother Jia is joking, I'm going to live in the house?" In what name? Will your father, Lord Jia, agree?

Besides, what's wrong here, this is what life is, and life should have this smell, how real it is! ”

Jia Mingyuan: "......"

If he continued to talk about it, he was afraid that he would be surrounded by Xu Ning, so he had to shut up and get down to business.

It's just that after he made his intentions clear, Xu Ning didn't buy it, and looked at him and asked: "Forget about the autopsy, Mr. Nasi seems to be a person who does things, and it can be regarded as an intersection, but what is the matter with this visit?" You're asking me about other people, isn't it? ”

Jia Mingyuan looked embarrassed: "Brother Xu, we don't have anyone in our hands now, and Mr. Si said that there are problems with these cases, and I am willing to go, but I am afraid that I will not be able to ask anything when I go, and I will waste this time in vain." ”

Xu Ning probably laughed with him enough, and finally stopped the ridiculous tone and invited Jia Mingyuan into the room: "Come in and talk about it, I'll take a look at these things first." ”

The house is okay, although it is not big, but it is quite clean, but the house inside is simple, a bed and a table, and there is no chair.

There was a dilapidated wooden box, which was supposed to hold the winter and summer clothes, and it was placed on the head of the bed.

Because there was no chair, the table was rarely used, Xu Ning took the case file and put it directly on the wooden box, and then began to look through it quickly.

didn't finish reading all the things, so he asked Jia Mingyuan: "Have Mr. Si seen these things?" ”

Jia Mingyuan shook his head: "I didn't see it, as soon as I heard what happened in the Criminal Department, I asked people to visit." ”

Xu Ning exclaimed: "If you want to say that this Mr. Si is really good at doing this business, his eyes are poisonous enough, and as soon as anything passes in front of her, he can show his feet, he is really a heroine among women." ”

Jia Mingyuan also nodded and said, "Yes, she has been brilliant since she was a child, which is beyond the reach of others." ”

Xu Ning glanced at him.

Regarding Miss Zhuang and him, it has long been spread throughout the capital, and of course Xu Ning has heard about it, but before, he didn't know that this Master Si was Zhuang Siyan.

Now that I know, I can naturally guess a little bit of Jia Mingyuan's thoughts.

But this kind of thing, just think about it, even if you say it, it's a big crime, if he Xu Ning is okay, Jia Mingyuan will definitely not make such a mistake.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Jia Mingyuan almost turned over all the cases, gathered them together and said, "Okay, let me put these things here, and I'll go to the Criminal Department tomorrow morning to find you." ”

Jia Mingyuan hurriedly thanked him, and when he came out, he quietly put a piece of silver next to his bed and covered it with a blanket.

At that time, Zhuang Siyan had already seen Scarface in the prison of the Criminal Department, and then went to the moat outside the city.

The wind on the riverbank blew the last chill of late spring, but because the weather was clear during the day, although the sun was already setting, it was no longer as cold as before.

If you are in a hurry, you will have some summer heat, and you can't help but want to take off all the few heavy clothes you have on your body and replace them with thin ones.

Zhuang Siyan had already changed into thin clothes, even so, she was in a hurry, and there was a little sweat on the tip of her nose.

When he left the city gate, he had not yet reached the bank of the river, and he saw from afar that some people were gathered there.

Qing Ran didn't wait for her to ask, and said first: "These are the people who came to identify the corpses, some of them are just lost people in the family, but they can't find their relatives from this pile of bones, so they refuse to disperse." ”

Zhuang Siyan looked at the river, and all he saw were people's bitter faces, some of which were sweaty.

It was indeed getting late, and they refused to leave, and they could not even enter the city.

Zhuang Siyan sent Qingshi over: "You go and talk to the leader of the Praetorian Guard, this is the end of today, let people disperse quickly." ”

Qing Ran took the call first: "I have said it several times, it is they who refuse to leave, and many of these people do not live in the city, but people in the countryside outside. ”

"The people of the country? How did the villagers know about the posters in the city? Zhuang Siyan asked.

Qingran couldn't answer this question, so he had to shake his head at her.

As soon as the few of them approached, the people who couldn't get nostalgic immediately surrounded them, and they all knelt on the ground, asking Zhuang Siyan to make decisions for them, and they must find their families.

When she encounters this kind of thing, she is also depressed, but she can't be angry.

Although these people came strangely, it may be real people who look like that, they came to look for someone, and there may be a family member who is missing, even if it is not, someone in the middle picks it up, then it is useless to get angry at this time.

She adjusted her emotions, and even her voice was well controlled, trying to explain the matter calmly, let people disperse first, and then find a way later.

After saying this several times in a row, and the Praetorian Guards also came to drive people away, it was almost completely dark at this time, and some people began to walk slowly outside.

Zhuang Siyan was exhausted, and when he saw someone leaving, he withdrew first and went to meet with the Praetorian Guards to confirm the situation here.

"Sir, we salvaged all of this piece during the day, and we didn't find anything unusual." The chief reported.

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Well, I know, what I want to ask is, when you were fishing here during the day, did you find anything unusual around, such as unknown people coming to watch, or suspicious people?" ”

The leader thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, but someone has already come to identify the corpse during the day, although they are all ordinary people, and they are a little far away, but if there is something wrong in the heart, it is estimated that what can be seen?" ”

"Can we fish again in the evening?"

The leader didn't quite understand what she meant, and asked: "The light is good during the day, but you can't catch anything, and you can't use the tools at night, even if you can go into the water, you can't catch anything?" ”
