Chapter 317
Dali Siqing, the waiter of the Criminal Department and others all watched her movements dumbfounded, as if she was not carrying a fleshless head, but as if she was carrying snacks......
Liu He watched her grab the skeleton and go out, immediately hesitated, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, do you want someone to find a burden to help wrap this skull?" ”
If you really go out so aggressively, not to mention whether the officers and officials of the three law divisions will be frightened, even if they scare the people passing by outside, it will not be good.
Xu Chu paused when he took off his mask, and then said, "Then there is Master Lao." ”
In fact, what is there to work or not, left and right are just a one-sentence command.
While waiting, Tang Qiaozheng also ordered someone to fetch hot water to the compartment outside the coroner's room, so that Xu Chu, who had just been subjected to the autopsy, was covered with the smell of corpses, to take care of it.
Fortunately, when she went to the autopsy, Xiao Qinglang helped her put on a big coat, so her clothes and body were not stained with any unpleasant smell.
After she had washed her hands and left the cubicle, the messenger waiting outside also took her baggage.
In this way, she wrapped the skull and took it away. The action was like carrying some kind of treasure. If you don't know, you won't guess that there will be a head inside......
Because this case is very important, and now she is on the cusp of the storm, and she has also received the emperor's personal instructions, so when she just got the emperor's order, the household department and the military department have already moved together, and all the relevant files, as well as the files suspected of the person she said in the autopsy, were sent to the Jing'an Palace.
Such efficiency made Xu Chu impressed. This is comparable to a humanoid computer, isn't it an official of the Ministry of Household War, but also a genius like Xiao Qinglang who never forgets ten lines at a glance.
She was speechless, and couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for her own skills, I was afraid that she would have to continue to run for a living now. From this point of view, it can be seen that the words that knowledge changes fate are really very reasonable.
Because seven corpses were examined in one day, it was already past noon when Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu left the Yamen of the Three Law Divisions.
Xiao Qinglang was worried about her body, and simply ordered someone to drive the carriage to the nearest restaurant.
The streets of the capital are bustling with activity, and although there are some people who talk about recent cases, most of them are just talking about it after they have had a full meal, and no one really delays their livelihood because of this.
Xu Chu looked at the Goolan wine shop that swept in front of him, as well as those overlapping pavilions and pavilions, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
If you encounter such a murder in the county, I am afraid that the people will be in danger, how can they be so calm and lively?
If she hadn't known that there weren't many vicious cases in the capital, I'm afraid she would have suspected that the people were well-informed and used to murders.
Xiao Qinglang saw that the expression on her face was constantly changing, and he couldn't help but put down the official document he was reading and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xu Chu heard his inquiry, shook his head and said, "Just sigh with emotion, with you and the Three Law Divisions sitting in the capital, the people can be calm in the case of even murders." ”
When Xiao Qinglang heard this, he was stunned at first, and then shook his head helplessly. As soon as he wanted to say something, he suddenly remembered the murder case of the Five Elements Evil Ghost that happened in Yunzhou City. At that time, not only was the people in Yunzhou City panicking, but even the merchants walking nearby would walk around Yunzhou City.
In this way, Xu Chu's emotion seems to have some truth.
He was dumbfounded for a moment, his eyes were calm and calm, and he replaced the official document in his hand with a new one, "What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" ”
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Crooked reason is also a reason after all......"
When I arrived at the restaurant, there were not many people because it was already past the meal. In this way, Xiao Qinglang and his party naturally did not attract too much attention.
However, while waiting for the food to be served, when Xu Chu was checking the skull taken out of the autopsy room in the box, he happened to meet a courteous man who came to deliver water. In a blink of an eye, he saw a skull head on the table, and he immediately fainted in fright.
And the shopkeeper who came immediately after him to flatter him also knelt on the ground in an instant, trembling and kowtowing with two cups of tea.
"The little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he doesn't know that the female fairy has arrived, and he asks the female fairy to spare his life......" He kowtowed, although he didn't faint, but he also cried bitterly.
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, and suddenly asked, "Female fairy?" ”
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that she really spoke, he was immediately frightened, and a cold sweat broke out, and the whole person was very frightened and weak. He barely swallowed and spitted at the mouth, and said, "The female fairy has always been only in the countryside, so the little one really doesn't know you're here." Otherwise, I'll have someone go to the back kitchen to find a few living creatures, and let the cook help you wash them and keep them fresh......"
Xiao Qinglang saw that she was a little stunned, so he said: "There was a blood-sucking white-haired female ghost in the suburbs of Beijing a few years ago, and it was the people who were in trouble at that time, and the people were not at peace. In the beginning, it was someone who lost chickens and ducks in their homes, and later it developed into chickens and ducks being bitten off their necks alive to suck blood. In the end, the criminal department eliminated the arrest of the official and quickly patrolled the arrest, and only then did the person be arrested. The man wasn't a ghost, he just had a penchant for blood-sucking...... Because she didn't hurt anyone's life, after being diagnosed, the criminal department released her. ”
"I didn't expect that after such a long time, there would still be people who would be so scared because of this."
As soon as his words fell, Xu Chu's mind seemed to have a flash. It's just that before she had time to think about it, Xiao Qinglang listened to Xiao Qinglang let the fainting guy go down, and at the same time said to the shopkeeper detachedly: "This is the skull used by the Three Law Divisions to investigate the case, if you feel scared, you don't have to come over." Later, the king will ask people to go to the back kitchen to get the food. ”
As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper suddenly woke up, and his eyes secretly glanced at Xiao Qinglang. Seeing that it was indeed the noble appearance he had seen in the album, he immediately wailed in his heart.
He was transferred back to his restaurant from elsewhere by the owner, and he hadn't seen Xiao Qinglang with his own eyes, so he didn't recognize it for a while. But looking like his demeanor, he really looks like a dragon and phoenix among people, even if he wants to question it, he doesn't have the guts.
He hurriedly nodded, got up tremblingly and said: "It's a small one who has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, since it is used by the prince to investigate the case, it is naturally not unlucky." In this way, the little one went to the back kitchen to urge, and when the meal was complete, the little one personally sent it to the prince and the girl. ”
Because of this interruption, Xu Chu didn't understand what the thought he had just been in a trance was.
She recalled what Xiao Qinglang had just said about the bloodsucking case in the suburbs of Beijing. In fact, in the previous life, patients with this kind of disease also existed, bloodthirsty, pale, gray-haired, and ghostly.
Speaking carefully, they are not ghosts, but porphyrias. It is the so-called hemopurple proteinosis, which is a group of porphyrin metabolism disorders caused by the lack of a certain enzyme or reduced enzyme activity in the heme synthesis pathway. The main reason why it is called a ghost is that in addition to digestive symptoms and psychiatric and neurological symptoms, patients are very sensitive to sunlight, and even after a little sunburn, the skin of the body will be painful and burning, so that erythema, edema, blisters, blood blisters, and erosions appear.
Because the symptoms are similar to those of the legendary ghost vampires who are afraid of the sun, in the eyes of some people who do not have medical knowledge, these patients are often mistaken for not human.
Since ancient times, there have been countless people who have been killed by mistake because of this disease. Even, after death, many vicious and cruel stories will be arranged......
"Blood." Xu Chu suddenly looked up at Xiao Qinglang, "The first envoy to be killed, although he was skinned alive, where did the blood he lost go?" Also, where did the envoys who were bloodied and slaughtered and cooked, so much blood? ”
"The murderer is related to slaughtering, and he knows some medical skills, has great strength, is ruthless and knows some martial arts. He is good at using murder weapons such as boards, and can directly break the backbone of a living person with a cane, so that people are completely killed instead of paralyzed. ”
She quickly took the pen and ink in the codex and toolbox to record the guesses, and gradually sketched them, and even narrowed the scope of the murderer again.
"It is likely that the murderer has had the experience of serving in the army, has been to Yunnan or southern Fujian and other places, and should have been on the battlefield and stabbed the enemy. And he is very hostile to the people in Northern Xinjiang, and he should have been in Northern Xinjiang, so he personally twisted off the neck of False Yigan Baierdi to vent his anger before bleeding to death. ”
The question now is whether he knew the true identity of the deceased when he was in Hangbardi. Did he kill by mistake, or did he do it on purpose?
Xiao Qinglang followed her train of thought and said thoughtfully: "Most of the soldiers who have been to Yunnan and southern Fujian are stationed in southern Xinjiang. Only a few thousand people returned. In addition, this person is somewhat involved with Northern Xinjiang, if he has been on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang and Southern Xinjiang at the same time, then the military department must have a roster record, and it should not be difficult to track down. ”
What's more, if you know some medical skills, if you know medical skills, you will definitely be revealed on the battlefield, and you will even be looked at by the soldiers.
Moreover, if it was really as Xu Chu guessed, that person's bloodletting behavior was related to the white-haired bloodsucking woman before, then it would be easier to find.
Because of the new speculation, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu no longer had the heart to eat carefully, and the two simply filled their stomachs. Then, he went to the Jing'an Palace.
Just as the carriage drove into the second gate of the palace, he heard a pleasant voice rushing over, and then the man directly lifted the carriage's clothes.
Xu Chu might as well have a half-up body that was directly unsteadily planted forward, and the burden with the head in his hand also smashed towards the head that suddenly poked over.
