Xu Chu continued to investigate, but found some granular crystals in the nails of the corpse, but she couldn't be sure what it was for a while. Slightly hard to the touch, like sand or rock particles?

Since she couldn't say for sure, she carefully put things away.

When she wiped the palm of her hand with cotton, she found that there was an unstained spot on the palm of the deceased's hand, and a layer of yellowing mold was attached to it.

She didn't dare to be careless, and carefully scraped it on the rice paper with tweezers to examine it carefully, "It's moss." ”

But why does moss appear? Suddenly, she got up and took off the deceased's somewhat torn shoes, only to see that there were also many yellow-black marks on the soles. Especially at the toe, it is particularly heavy.

"Brother Wei, help turn the corpse over."

Before she could speak again, she saw a pair of slender and bony hands reach out, and then slowly exert force at her side. She looked up to the hands and met the dazzling sunlight, but she saw the familiar and indifferent face.

Her movements paused slightly, and she didn't come back to her senses until Xiao Qinglang raised her eyebrows, and hurriedly lowered her head and continued to check.

Since the deceased's clothes were already wet with blood, she had to take off her gloves and twist them gently with her fingers to determine if there was anything attached to them.

Sure enough, as she thought, although the deceased's buttocks and waist were covered by blood, there were traces of mud and moss.

The fingers that were as jade as shallots were instantly stained red with blood, which made Xiao Qinglang look very good, and he subconsciously took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped it in a few breaths. And Xu Chu didn't have time to be hypocritical at this time, she only frowned and thought carefully about what she had just discovered.

It can be said that this is the biggest discovery since yesterday's murder, and it may help them find the real murder scene.

In previous lives, it was fashionable to grow moss in pots. And she has also followed the trend, firstly because the home is too monotonous and lifeless, and secondly, because the moss is very well maintained.

Normally, mosses in early winter will automatically sleep to protect themselves due to the sudden drop in temperature, and very few will die of frostbite.

But now the moss she removed is not only yellow and black, but even white filaments appear. Although it is not obvious, it is not difficult to tell that the deceased kept climbing to escape before he died. According to the murderer's murderous habits, the deceased should not have been injured at that time, but had only received death threats.

In a panic, he inadvertently slipped on moss, and then tried to escape from the horror land with both hands and feet. But the murderer did not give him a chance, and even forced him to stand up or raise his head, using the mechanism he was proud of to kill people.

Xu Chu slowly twisted a little moss, but found traces of white flocculent between his fingers. Her eyes were clear, her eyebrows were stretched, and her eyes looked at Xiao Qinglang calmly.

Mosses are shade plants that prefer humid environments and are extremely intolerant of drought and dryness. Its yellowing and blackening are mostly related to soil and moisture. Generally speaking, there are many reasons for yellowing, but most of the blackening is due to the moss root being soaked in water for a long time, causing it to rot.

The presence of white filaments on the surface of the moss indicates that the area contains feces and animal and plant residues, and is poorly ventilated.

Before she could make her deductions, she saw a guard come with his fists clenched. But it was one of the secret guards sent by Xiao Qinglang yesterday, he stepped forward and saluted, and then said in a deep voice: "My subordinates found a sneaky figure last night, so they followed with Dark Moon and went to the back mountain valley, but they lost the people. ”

"Now Lord Wei Yan is still staring at the back mountain, just in case."

His voice was extremely low, and Huang County had already hidden far away from the fear of cholera, but he was not worried about being heard by others.

Xiao Qinglang nodded, and then asked someone to go to the carriage to take the drawing paper and pen and ink and hand them to Xu Chu, who simply painted a portrait according to the characteristics of the autopsy skull. Half an hour later, he handed the portrait to Yu Li and asked him if he knew who the deceased was.

When Li Zheng saw the portrait, his hands couldn't help shaking, his eyes were full of horror, and then he waved his hands again and again as if to escape: "I don't know, I don't know ......."

"Lie, you know." Xu Chu glanced at Zheng, "Standing restlessly, your eyes are frightened, your hands are clenched and trembling slightly, it can be seen that you are not only afraid but also very nervous." ”

"Who that person is, I really don't know, I don't know ......"

Xu Chu frowned, paused for a moment but scolded: "The tone is stiff, repeating the question, and emphasizing repeatedly, even if you lie, you should be more tactful." Do you think that if you hide it, we won't be able to find out who this person is? ”

"The left and right Huangxian people are here, and later they just transferred the household registration of the yamen, and the identity of the deceased can naturally be found by comparing the pictures and shadows. When the time comes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to escape the suspicion of committing the crime......"

Xu Chu's words were harsh, and he even coaxed and deceived, but it made Li Zheng's face more and more pale.

"From yesterday to today, two people have been killed, and the murderer's methods are becoming more and more cruel, is it possible that you want to watch another murder in the village?" Xu Chu suddenly took a few steps forward, stared at Li Zheng's eyes and said coldly, "You just care about your survival, have you ever thought about the situation of the missing prime of life and children in the village?" ”

She was more and more fierce than the other, and every sentence poked at Li Zheng's heart, making him back down again and again.

Li Zheng looked frightened, glanced at Xu Chu tremblingly, but was calmed by the calm and slightly angry eyes, and then gasped and said, "That's the son of the Liu family in the village, who used to make a living with the descendants of the village, and then he has never come back, and there is no ...... at all."

was glanced at by Xu Chu, and Li Zheng spit out the truth. It is true that the village has not been peaceful in these years, and many descendants have been lost, and later some children have been lost. Originally, they thought that those young uncles did not want to come back, and even the lost children felt that they were afraid that human teeth had entered the village, but they kept it for many days and found no clues.

Until some time ago, a group of people in black clothes and black faces with extremely heavy yin qi appeared. not only killed people, but also threatened the lives of several young children, so that he and several elders in the village hid the incident, and blocked the big guy's intention to go to the yamen.

Between the struggles of thoughts, the two of them coincided and thought of the two sons of He Laohan's family, who had not heard from him for many years, and their lives and deaths were unknown.

Xu Chu pursed his lips and looked at Xiao Qinglang, and smiled bitterly, it seems that they have encountered a tricky case. If it's just a perverted murderer, it's okay to say, but it involves the missing people in the whole village.

But fortunately, there was a judgment of moss, and the phenomenon of intestinal carbuncle appeared in the deceased's body. It would not be difficult for them to find the scene of the crime.

"The scene of the murder should be in a damp and dark place, where there are water stains. And according to the condition of the deceased's intestinal carbuncle, water with feces or animal and plant remains should be drunk all year round. Xu Chu frowned and looked at Li Zheng and asked, "In the village plus the mountains, there are many places for water sources?" ”

"There are not many, there are no rivers in the village, and there are a few big rivers in the deep mountains behind the mountains, but they have not flowed out."

However, before they could return to the village to rest for a while, they saw a group of old and weak women and children carrying shovels and benches coming in a menacing manner. Rao is Li is blocking, but he can't stop people.

"Folks, don't panic, the county magistrate has taken over this case, and it will be solved in a few days." Seeing that the comer was not good, Xu Chu naturally hurried to persuade him.

But two lives in a row, and they are all so bloody and terrifying, who knows what will happen next? What's more, many people in the village now say that it is because of this group of outsiders that it will bring blood and light disasters to the village, especially the woman who performed the autopsy is very hard, and it is facing the people in the village.

Otherwise, why did the son of the Li family, who had been missing for many years, suddenly appear so coincidentally and was disemboweled?

Many families in the village have gone missing, and most of them are sons in the prime of life, whether it is for the sake of family incense, who dares to take risks easily.

So when the rumors were together, there were people who followed and clamored to drive the group of strangers away.

At the moment, on one side is the name of the village that is indignant and frightened, and on the other side is Xiao Qinglang and his party, and it is naturally necessary to protect the Huang County Order over there. He scolded, waved his hand, and asked the officials to open their bows left and right to forcibly suppress the villagers' riots, but it was good that he didn't open his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he instantly aroused more excitement among those people.

There is a dead end on the left and right, and if the outsiders don't leave, their village will never be peaceful. Perhaps, it will not be long before everyone in the village dies. It's better to make a scene, and you can live a few more days.

In the cold wind, a group of old people and weak women and children who had entered the soil were crowded in front of the door of He's house, and their rough and weathered faces were all dead. Those who know the inside story have long suffered in their hearts, not only worrying about the afterlife who will be taken away by those ghosts, but also afraid that they will not be able to take revenge after finding out the truth, which will lead to more tragic revenge. People who don't know the inside story have accused Xu Chuhan of being stubborn and bringing bad luck to the village.

The people who fried the pot pushed and pushed and squeezed, and even rushed away from the obstruction of the officials.

Xiao Qinglang saw that the situation was getting more and more out of control, and the official over there had already drawn a sharp knife to face the innocent. He knew that if he really hurt the people, he might be able to calm down for a while, but if the people here were instigated, he was afraid that it would cause resentment.

So without hesitation, the wide sleeves flicked, and the short sword flew out suddenly, and with a short handover, the sword of the official was broken at the waist.

This hand made everyone stunned, and even the people who were pushing forward densely paused.

"Since this case started with us, it is with us. If you insist on making trouble, we can just stand by and leave, but if you believe in it, I promise to arrest the murderer within two days. Xiao Qinglang was unhurried and said loudly.

His sleeves carried the sound of the wind, and his eyes swept towards everyone, making the people subconsciously let go of the hand holding the servant.

"Why should we believe you?"

"That's it, why."

At this time, although there was still noise, the voice was much quieter.
