The scars that Xu Chu judged were not casually said, but there were some wounds on his face and chest when he was smashed. However, compared to the contraction of flesh caused by the smash on the top of the head, the wound skin is involuted, and the scars on the face and chest do not shrink significantly. Moreover, the wound was very small and did not change like the scar on the top of the head, so it can be concluded that the murderer tortured the corpse after the mortis appeared.

"The murderer must have used some ingenious mechanism to kill people, which shows that his force may not necessarily be able to defeat the deceased. The fact that the corpses were not burned or thrown into the mountains, but were simply smashed into such illegible conditions that they were not the same as ordinary assassins, and it was so unreasonable that I would have assumed that the people did not die as a result of the assassination. ”

In other words, the case was just an accident, not caused by the exposure of the identities of their group.

Then here's the problem, they've only been here for one night, they're not familiar with the place, and they haven't caused any trouble. If the deceased is really the sixth son, then why did he die?

You must know that the six sons and his entourage have followed Xiao Qinglang in the capital all the year round, even if they are only guards, they also have the rank of four ranks. Such a person may not be anything in the capital, but in the countryside, he is an enemy of the county master.

Also, where did the good horse that had fallen from the wagon go?

"Miss Xu is saying that this is not the place where the murderer committed the murder?" Wei Guang was dumbfounded.

"Naturally not, presumably the prince has also speculated."

The two looked at each other indifferently, but they didn't know if it was for the invisible crisis or for the murderer's ruthless methods.

As early as waiting for the guards to get the toolbox, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu had already seen the situation around the corpse. According to the results of the autopsy, under the impact of heavy objects, marks will inevitably form when they fall to the ground.

However, there was no such thing near the corpse, and even if the mud froze slightly, it could not withstand the heavy blow of stone or iron that could crush the skull.

What's more, when the body was first found, the deceased was not covered with snow marks, indicating that the person was thrown here after the rain and snow stopped. If there are real traces, they will be extremely conspicuous.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu looked left and right on the road outside the village, and as far as the eye could see, there was no trace of drag and footprints.

She got up and looked at Xiao Qinglang and said, "The deceased's face and body were smashed, but there were no traces around it, and there were no blood splashes, so it can be seen that this is not the scene of the murder." In addition, I found some reddish-brown hairs from the cracks between the fingernails of the deceased, very similar to those left by the horses that were suddenly frightened before, and asked the prince to help me identify one or two. ”

The snow-white ground constantly exudes a terrifying and eerie atmosphere. But in the most vicious place, Xu Chu Ruyu stood upright and was not afraid at all, but frowned and raised the tweezers and handed it to Xiao Qinglang.

Under the cold wind, the surroundings are even more terrifying, especially the scene after the autopsy, which makes many people jealous and frightened, snot and tears.

"It is owned by the sweat and blood of the royal palace." Xiao Qinglang took a step forward and didn't shy away from twisting the hair in his hand, and nodded after a while, "Because the sweat and blood horse is different from the good horse next to it, its hair is very easy to identify." ”

At this time, Xu Chu had already tested it, and it could be roughly inferred from the figure and details that this person was the sixth son.

"The murderer was in the village, or he hid in the village after committing the murder and waited for an opportunity to escape." She glanced over the crowd of onlookers, but saw that there were still a few bold descendants who did not show frightened looks, so she continued, "Ruling out the possibility of assassination, if the sixth son has no enemies here, then the murderer is with a provocation and warning mentality, and after killing people, he also brutally tortured the corpse. ”

"The murderer was bold and careful, and he knew the psychology of the people in the village very well, so it can be seen that he is a common person living in the village. Moreover, the body is abandoned here, and there are many show-off plots, so it can be speculated that this person does not have any guilt for the murder. ”

"And he's good at organs, as for the side, you have to find the murder scene before you can continue to speculate."

Because there is only one case at the moment, it is difficult for Xu Chu to judge whether the murderer is a perverted serial murderer, and then it is impossible to speculate on the murderer's trajectory and preferences.

Such a cruel corpse abuser sketched a rough idea in Xu Chu's few words, which also made many people both surprised and suspicious. Especially Li Zheng, who was pale, reprimanded with a calm face: "Where did the yellow-haired girl come from, she dared to speak out in front of the murder case." Do you know that just by dissecting your body, I can have people twist you to the yamen to eat in prison! ”

Before Xu Chu could speak, he saw Xiao Qinglang blocking him in one step, his cold eyes swept over, revealing a bit of strong coercion, and he shivered, and said hesitantly: "What are you going to do...... Let me tell you, our village has been around for generations, but there has never been a single person who has done evil. Maybe you killed the people and wanted to blame the people in the village. ”

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want with a few stinky money, it's just a lowly job, is it possible to bully the good?" Li Zheng said righteous words, but his eyes flickered and he didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Qinglang's cold eyes, "You wait, I have already asked people to go to the county to sue the official...... When the Yamen arrest is coming, you will definitely be arrested and brought to justice! ”

Xu Chu shook his head expressionlessly, no longer caring about Li Zheng's stupid words, but squatted down to sew up the wound he had just dissected.

Xiao Qinglang knew that his identity should not be exposed, especially when the situation was unclear. However, thanks to the fact that he has a flawless token in his hand, it is easy to deal with it when he sees the county officials in a while. He thought for a while, remembering that the village here belonged to Qingyan County, but the county seat was extremely desolate and remote, so the county official had never seen him, but he was not worried about causing the yamen to expose his whereabouts.

There are guards wearing swords and terrifying momentum, and Li Zheng naturally does not dare to openly shout again. After a warning from the outside strong and the middle, he ordered the He family to watch the people up and down, don't let the murderer escape, and then leave with weak legs and feet.

Seeing that Li Zheng left in a hurry, the rest of the people who had recovered a little didn't dare to stay any longer, and they scattered in groups of three or five supporting each other.

When he returned to He's house, Xiao Qinglang asked, "Did you find anything else just now?" ”

The low voice fell into her ears, and Xu Chu was shocked to come back to her senses in an instant, seeing that his expression was clear, she couldn't help but nod and smile bitterly: "It's just a guess, I think the prince should also think of it." ”

"As far as I know, there have been no murders like this in the village before. So I guess the murderer's warnings or provocations are aimed at us. Moreover, Li Zheng's performance today is obviously hidden, but I am afraid that the situation of that person in the village is very complicated. ”

Therefore, even if there is evidence that the murderer is from the village, they may not be able to catch it successfully.

"You have a suspicion?" Xiao Qinglang asked with some surprise.

But seeing Xu Chu nodding slowly, he spat out a turbid breath, paused slightly, and said: "That person has a strong psychological quality, since he committed a murder and moved the body, there must be a purpose." If it was to provoke us as a warning, he would never have missed the look on our face when we saw the corpse. ”

"So the murderer is among the onlookers today!" Xiao Qinglang lowered his eyes and pondered, looked at Xu Chu, who had carefully recorded the doubts in the codex, and raised his eyes to signal Wei Guang to check those people.

Due to a sudden murder, the group was trapped in the village and could not hurry. On that day, Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang didn't care about the villagers' scrutinizing and dodging eyes, so they just walked around the village to check.

"What kind of Diao people, Li Zheng is leading the way, and the official will personally lead people to escort the murderer back to the yamen!" The county magistrate came quickly, since the body was found in the morning, but in the evening, he brought someone to come.

It's not that he is diligent in government and loves the people, and is sympathetic to the people, but at the end of the year, the officials have to evaluate the performance of officials. The county is very small, and there are no rich industries, even if there are many cases, it is a trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs or trivial matters, and it cannot be in the eyes of the officials at all.

This is finally a murder case, maybe it is his hope for promotion, and he naturally will not be confused and let people close the case.

Before he came, he had thought about it, even if he wanted to squat here, he had to squat to produce some effect.

"Lord Qiqi, those people swaggered through the village early in the morning, and the little ones were afraid that they would abscond, so they sent people to follow."

About half an hour later, the catchers who had been sent out ran back sweaty. It's just that before they could reply, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu took someone to walk into the door of Lizheng's house together.

"My lord, it was they who committed murder in the village, and maliciously destroyed the corpse, and now the corpse is hidden by them." Li Zheng saw a few people enter the door, looked at each other, first shuddered, and then hurriedly gave up his hand to the county master.

The county magistrate's name is Huang Dashan, who was promoted in the examination in the early years, and later joined a large family as a son-in-law. The old lady of the old family is a beautiful girl, and in order to make her daughter live well, she spent money to find him a master of the yamen who is not a good one. And he also has a great opportunity, but in a few years, he encountered the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, and after the former county lord was transferred, he took over the county.

If you talk about it in the first place, you are also a confused official. has always handled cases with the plaintiff and the defendant's big fifty boards, even if it is a case of mouth cannon for an egg, it can directly cook half of the family.

In fact, when the county government officials found a few people before, Xiao Qinglang had already sent someone to contact him, and he naturally used the name of gluttonous Louhua without disease.

Although the gluttonous building is a place to do business, its status is not high, but it can't stand its owner's magical powers. Even if he is the county magistrate, he has also received his favor, not to mention that every time someone comes from the capital, or the royal family passes by Yunzhou, he will often settle in the gluttonous building. Naturally, the name of the gluttonous building has been widely spread.

In contrast, the yamen did not dare to offend easily.

Although Huang Dashan is a little confused, he has a bit of eyesight.
