That is a superb autopsy technique, and there are many more advanced knowledge and cognitions than the people of Da Zhou.

Xiao Qinglang saw Xu Chu take off his gloves, and immediately stepped forward and said, "It's getting late today, let's go down first." ”

Xu Chu nodded, today's corpse and skull have been restored, and the album has been presented to Sikong Han, so she is not needed in the yamen.

As for the investigation of the case, there are Xiao Qinglang and Tang Qiaozheng and others, so naturally there is no need for her to run around.

Although he was really able to devote himself to the autopsy, Xu Chu suddenly had a feeling of loss. The taste was as if my heart was empty, not uncomfortable but a little awkward.

"What do you think of the murderer?" The two walked back from the yamen side by side, and the atmosphere was a little cold, so Xiao Qinglang opened his mouth to find a topic and asked.

In fact, he didn't deliberately look for words, but really wanted to know what Xu Chu could deduce through the means of those corpses and murderers.

Ever since they met in Yunzhou City, he had been particularly curious about Xu Chu's theory of psychological portraits. Later, he also applied that method, and even used it when he was trying the case, and he really felt that it had a miraculous effect.

Xiao Qinglang looked at her silently, waiting for her words with interest.

Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him, and said with a slight movement in his eyebrows: "Actually, this case is not complicated, and it can even be said that the case is very clear." ”

"If the Dan refined with virgin blood is really to restore someone's male and roots, or if you want Dong Ruiyang to indulge in gentle township every day, then it is more appropriate to take the blood of a woman in the prime of jasper. What's more, even if blood is taken, it should not be used in that way, only the blood of the girl's broken melon. In addition, although the corpse was intact, it was more likely to be clearly cut or missing, which was more intentional. In the end, I really don't understand why Dong Ruiyang and Xuanyang Daoist still hide the corpse after the death of the person, and even the corpse decomposes, instead of looking for a place to throw the corpse. You know, it is easier to erase the traces of a corpse by discarding it in the mountains than by hiding it. ”

So, there must be some connection in this that they didn't find, or an inside story.

Xiao Qinglang let out a long breath, twisted his eyebrows and said, "I vaguely remember that when I was young, I heard Taifu mention some forbidden books that had been burned, which seemed to record the fact that someone used living people to practice magic. It's just that there are no rumors in the Great Zhou, and second, I searched all the history books, but I only found one or two clues, and I was busy with official business, so I didn't study it carefully. ”

"But many years ago, I seemed to have heard Hua Wuzhi tell Mingzhu an anecdote and miscellaneous words, which is to say that there is a rich family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who is working for Lai Province, killing people and sacrificing ghosts with witchcraft, and he often buys more than ten years old virgins in Zhejiang for sacrificial use. It's just that there have never been such cases in this dynasty, and most of those weird stories were compiled to promote the Heart Sutra, so I didn't take it to heart. ”

Now, if we have to talk about it, it is very similar to the current case of girls who died one after another but their bones were not abandoned.

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and said with a solemn expression: "Do you suspect that the alchemy with the blood of girls is fake, in fact, someone took the opportunity to sacrifice evil ghosts?" ”

Xiao Qinglang shook his head, "I don't dare to make such a conclusion now, let's find Mingzhu and ask about the story at that time later." ”

When Xu Chu heard this, she didn't ask any more questions, she nodded and continued: "Except for that point, the deadly golden stone medicine was found in the body of the dead girl who was not completely corrupted, and the remaining bones and maggots under the body all had the residue of the golden stone medicine. If it is assumed by common sense, someone must have fed them the golden stone medicine to make them drowsy......"

Later, it was found that the woman's skeleton was similar to Hedinghong poisoning, but Hedinghong's poison was also mixed with gold and stone medicine. In addition, the prince once said that the Danding faction is famous for its pills, and their cultivation is often assisted by pills, and the golden stone medicine is the one they take most often. Therefore, I speculated that it was very likely that someone she trusted mixed Heding Red in the golden stone medicine and fed it to her. ”

"If the deceased is really a Dao aunt, but she is pregnant, then this is likely to be the reason for her death."

And in order to cover up the crime, that person found Dong Ruiyang as a cover. In the final analysis, the biggest purpose of the so-called death of the girl who took blood is to cover up the death of the Taoist aunt. ”

In addition, based on the inquest of several bodies of girls that were not completely decomposed, it was known that their private parts had been bleeding, but there was no sign of violent tearing or assault. So I guess that the murderer's temperament is most likely not vicious, and it is very likely that he has different habits than ordinary people, or even inhumane. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Chu couldn't help but sigh, "So Lord Wang, I think the key now is to figure out what the person who gave Dong Ruiyang alchemy has to do with the dead Dao Gu." As long as this is clarified, the case can be closed instantly. ”

Xiao Qinglang hooked his lips, looked at Xu Chu who was talking and analyzing in an orderly manner with a faint look of relief, and nodded: "I have already ordered Tang Qiao to investigate this matter, and if he can achieve the position of Dali Siqing, this matter will definitely not be difficult for him." ”

He spoke as if everything was already clear. However, Xu Chu did not doubt his words, after all, he had investigated many cases with him, and he could see each case in advance, as if all the evils and methods were useless in front of his eyes.

Moreover, Xiao Qinglang's ability to recognize people is not comparable to ordinary people at all. He promoted Tang Qiaozheng to Dali Siqing, and compared to Tang Qiaozheng, he had enough ability to serve the Three Law Divisions.

Compared with the episodes he had seen in his previous life, Xu Chu felt that this was the true appearance of the Three Law Divisions. Compared with using knives and guns, dispatching elites to arrest important criminals in the imperial court, or raising six doors in the rivers and lakes, the evil wind that uses brains to investigate cases and can suppress the evil winds of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the real prison official.

In the evening, Xiao Qinglang was just about to ask Xiao Mingzhu, who had come to China, about the story of the people in Zhejiang who killed people and sacrificed ghosts, when he heard a report from his subordinates that Tang Qiao was coming to ask for a meeting.

As for who is asking to see, there is no need to ask at all.

Tang Qiaozheng, who was pacing back and forth in front of Xu's Mansion, was really a little surprised. He thought that the prince just valued and promoted Xu Chu, but he didn't expect that the relationship between the prince and Xu Chu was so close that he never returned to the palace after leaving the yamen.

So when he was waiting in front of the Xu Mansion, he couldn't help but start speculating in his heart, isn't it the new Lord Xu of Dali Temple, and the background next to him? So much so that the prince treats her so well?

But at the beginning, he asked the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, saying that this Lord Xu had only one father in the family, and no other relatives. The family background is innocent and simple, and there is nothing unusual about it.

That...... Isn't it that the prince has fallen in love with Lord Xu's beauty?

But although Lord Xu can be regarded as a beautiful woman, he is not stunning. You must know that the reason why the prince was called the ghost and the jade-faced Yama back then was that he was not close to women, and his coldness towards women also accounted for a large part of the reason.

Over time, everyone in the capital began to speculate that the prince had a habit of dragon yang. Therefore, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was impossible for the prince to be confused by Lord Xu's beauty.

The more he pondered about it, the more Tang Qiaozheng's thoughts became more and more biased, so that Xiao Qinglang walked to the door, and he still hadn't come back to his senses.

"What is Lord Tang thinking?" Xiao Qinglang did not alarm the pensive Tang Qiaozheng, but raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice.

"The ...... of the Prince's Dragon Yang "Tang Qiaozheng's brain twitched, and he actually completed the last word. When he saw Xiao Qinglang's smiling expression, he wailed in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "The prince forgives the sin, the prince forgives the sin!" ”

Xu Chu, who followed Xiao Qinglang out and wanted to go to the Jing'an Wangfu Library to find clues, was stunned for a moment at this time. In the past few days in the capital, she has naturally heard of Xiao Qinglang's previous name, plus he once said that even the Queen Mother suspects that he has a habit of breaking sleeves, but she never thought that someone would be so grandiose...... confided this in front of Xiao Qinglang.

She glanced at Xiao Qinglang's slightly twitching temples, and mourned for Tang Qiaozheng for a moment in her heart.

In fact, it's not that Tang Qiaozheng is without scheming, but he didn't expect that this time not only did the prince come out, but even Lord Xu also looked like he wanted to follow the prince to the palace together. Even though they are indeed colleagues, but when night falls, a lonely man brings an orphan girl to the house, how can there be adultery in this matter......

When he is so distracted, won't his mouth pout?

Xiao Qinglang didn't give him time to regret it, so he had to look at him for a while, and said unhurriedly: "Oh? This king didn't expect that Lord Tang would care so much about this king. ”

There were no emotional ups and downs in his words, but they still made Tang Qiaozheng sweat and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"The prince forgives the sin, the lower official doesn't mean that, the lower official means that the prince is fierce and fierce, prosperous in the spring and autumn, and strong in the prime ......of life," the more he said, the more he felt that his heart was weak, and he didn't even dare to peep at Xiao Qinglang's face, so he could only bow his head and whisper lower and lower.

Xu Chu said in his heart, how can he think that the more he says this line, the more it looks like the teasing words of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion. But these words are used in Xiao Qinglang's words...... She couldn't help but move her gaze down slightly on Xiao Qinglang's twitching blackened cheeks, and before it landed on his abdomen, she heard Xiao Qinglang's voice speak in a gloomy tone.

"Okay, let's go to the palace first."

Before leaving, Xiao Qinglang glanced at Xu Chu with a faint expression, some warnings seemed to be a little embarrassing!

Xiao Mingzhu came to Xu Chu's side and whispered: "Sister Chu, look, since the third uncle's spring heart sprouted, he didn't even have a vicious mouth. If it had been placed in the past, he would have lost Lord Tang's face at this time, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Where will I let it go gently, and the roots of those ears are still red......"

When Xu Chu heard this, his eyes involuntarily swept to the root of Xiao Qinglang's ear, and saw that it was indeed a little red.

Xiao Qinglang, who was walking in front, stagnated for a moment, and then continued to move forward as if he had never heard it.

Probably except for himself, no one else knew that just now he recalled the beautiful and fragrant dream before waking up this morning. It was precisely because of this that he didn't dare to look at Xu Chu more at this time, for fear that he would lose his temper.

When Xiao Qinglang arrived at the Xu Mansion, he was with Mingzhu, so even if someone saw it, it would be difficult to generate gossip.

What's more, the rumors about him in the capital have long made everyone disbelieve that he will fall in love with women.

But having said that, one day his relationship with Xu Chu is not clear, and there is a day when he can't intersect wantonly. Just like now, in order to stay with Xiao Chu for a while, you have to bring the pearl that is twittering and pestering Xiao Chu as a cover.

Thinking of this, he secretly calculated in his heart. If Xu Qizuo didn't show up for a day, he couldn't convince Xiao Chu to become a quasi-princess. It's a real problem......

When he entered the gate of the palace, Xiao Qinglang instructed Wei Guang to go to Sun's house, only saying that he had something important to inquire about.

No matter what Xu Cheng wanted to hide, or what secrets he was hiding, he always had to find a way to let him show up. Otherwise, how can I tell the world about my relationship with Xiao Chu?

He wasn't worried that he and Xiao Chu were separated, but it was really uncomfortable to hide it like this now. Moreover, if the Queen Mother can recognize Xiao Chu, and Xiao Chu is crowned with the title of Princess Jing'an, then when she walks in the capital in the future, others will be more respectful.

Even, those black hands hidden in the shadows will weigh a few points when they start.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Qinglang didn't care about Tang Qiaozheng, who was sweating profusely and panicking, and sent someone to bring Xu Chu and Xiao Mingzhu to the palace library. According to Mingzhu, Hua Wuxian was punished by Hua Xiang to copy the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", but Huafu's "Bamboo Book Chronicle" had already been harmed by him, so he came to the palace to borrow books. When I was borrowing a book, I came across an anecdote and saw the story of killing people and sacrificing ghosts.

It's just that Hua Wuxi's speech was rough at that time, and many details were hidden, so that she couldn't remember the specific ins and outs. I vaguely remember that it seemed to be a custom, and it seemed to be some kind of ghost story.

After separating from Xu Chu and Xiao Mingzhu, Xiao Qinglang took Tang Qiaozheng to the study and asked him directly about his investigation.

Tang Qiao is reporting the situation of the Taoist priests on the list checked today, although these people are known as outsiders, but they don't dare to really tell the government about it. Especially Tang Qiaozheng this time, under the banner of King Jing'an, let those Taoist priests who still want to get a reward in the mansion of high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital reply cautiously.

What they said was no different from what Ning Subai heard last night, and there were even Taoist priests who could prove that Dong Ruiyang had indeed asked them about the blood alchemy. Because that method was too subtle and a little evil, they didn't dare to accept it.

Later, I heard that he found a Xuanyang Taoist out of nowhere, who claimed to be the successor of the Danding faction. At that time, he came with a female Taoist aunt with a short body and a handsome face.

In Taoism, there are internal and external cultivation methods, and there are also schools that use themselves as the furnace to practice the art of yin and yang. Therefore, even if the two of them said that they were from the same school, others did not question anything.

Later, Dong Ruiyang only used the Xuanyang Taoist and the Jingxu Master to help him refine the pill, until one day the Xuanyang Taoist said that he and his sister Jingxu Master Tai were going to retreat, and Dong Ruiyang began to find the Taoist priest next to him to refine the pill according to Dong Ruiyang's method.

After that, every time the medicine primer and powder for alchemy were taken by Lin Ruiyang in person, they were picked up in the dark room where the Xuanyang Daoist and Jingxu Master Tai were.

A few days later, the Xuanyang Daoist came out of the customs and only said that Master Jingxu had temporarily returned to the Taoist Temple for cultivation. Since then, they have never heard of the name of Master Jingxu, and naturally no one has mentioned her.

Tang Qiaozheng saw Xiao Qinglang read the record book he presented at a glance, and continued: "Xiaguan once sent someone to track down the origin and origin of the Xuanyang Taoist in the afternoon, and knew that he was not a descendant of the Danding faction, and even became a Taoist monk halfway. However, twenty miles away in the eastern suburbs, there is a deserted Taoist temple, which enshrines the statue of Wang Xuanfu, the ancestor of the Danding faction. The lower officials let some believers identify it, and they can't be wrong. ”

Xiao Qinglang's eyes were sharp, but his movements were not abnormal, he closed the booklet in his hand and asked, "But you found out the relationship between Xuanyang Daoist and Jingxu Shitai?" ”

"The prince is really like a god, although the Taoist temple is dilapidated, but there is still a gatekeeper. According to the gatekeeper, in fact, the ancestor of the Taoist temple was actually the father of Jingxu Shitai, and after her father's death, she was passed down to her through the Danding faction. Later, somehow, Master Jingxu saved a young man, who was later a Xuanyang Daoist. As he spoke, he took out another booklet from his sleeve that was some years old and even searched and handed it over, "Here is the list of all the Taoist monks who practiced in the Taoist temple when the Taoist temple was prosperous. It is recorded that the Xuanyang Taoist was the 36th year of the first emperor before abandoning the red dust and entering the Tao to practice. ”

A gust of cold wind blew in through the window, making the light on the desk swaying a little, and at the same time making Xiao Qinglang fall into deep thought.
