As Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu approached the corpse, there was another commotion among the people around. It's really that the two of them are too conspicuous, with outstanding temperament, luxuriously dressed, and their every move shows a dazzling demeanor. Not to mention the people in the village, even some rich ladies in the town are not so shining.

The small village, which has always been peaceful, is like an explosion at this time. Even the people who had been noisy and talking about it were all nervously holding their breath, and seeing that the two of them were deliberately approaching the corpse, they couldn't help but hula and suddenly get out of the way.

"Who are you?" Li Zheng clenched his fists, trying his best to look away from the situation on the ground, nervous and weak, but had to force himself to scold and ask.

At this time, Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu had already squatted in front of the deceased, and when they heard Li Zheng's question, they replied without saltiness or emotion: "I came from the capital and stayed in the village." ”

He Laohan, who came with him, and Li Laohan, the neighbor, hurriedly stepped forward and explained to Li Zheng.

The corpse of the deceased was already cold, and his hair was messy with dirt and blood, but it was not a mess.

"There were no footprints around, no signs of horses trampling, and no marks in the heavy snow outside the village." Xiao Qinglang was not in a hurry to let Xu Chu perform an autopsy, but frowned and looked at the road outside the village that should have been muddy. It was still early in the morning, and no one was in or out of the village, so there was no sign of the road leading to the outside. "So there are only two possibilities, one is that the person was killed before the snow fell. The second is that the murderer did not flee outside the village at all. ”

He glanced at Xu Chu, who frowned slightly, paused, and continued: "It didn't snow at three o'clock last night, but you and I haven't stopped at that hour. If such a murderous murder really happened at the entrance of the village, and the deceased was the sixth son of the guard who had been selected by the palace several times, it would never have been without a sound. ”

The corpse in sight was obviously smashed and seriously injured, although the cause of death has not yet been determined, but if it is really a fight, the surrounding area cannot be so clean. And see that the saber on the deceased's waist is still there, not even unsheathed, and there are no knife marks on the crooked trunks of several trees at the entrance of the village.

There should be signs of fighting, but why are there no signs around? Even if there is snow to cover it, but with such a ruthless method, I am afraid that a thin layer of snow cannot hide it at all. Even the blood stains left by the corpse can be stained through the nearby snow.

He glanced at the entrance of the village, and then his eyes fell on the group of people who had been the first to find the body, who had gathered to join in the fun, and who could not find any useful footprints on the road from the village to the entrance. According to his previous experience in investigating cases, if the murderer really dumped his body here, I am afraid that he would have already guessed their identity, at least knowing that they were not passers-by.

But knowing that he had brought his guards to pass by, and dared to attack, the murderer was really a cunning and arrogant person. But why did he do this? He didn't assassinate him directly, but he took the trouble to take the risk......

He thought for a moment, glanced at the surrounding villagers who were either looking like vegetables or vomiting, and looked at Xu Chu who deliberately lowered his voice and almost whispered: "This matter is quite strange, the village is very strange, you must be careful when investigating the case." ”

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xiao Qinglang's meaningful eyes, and naturally glanced around, and her expression became much more cautious in a few breaths. If it weren't for Xiao Qinglang's reminder, she really wouldn't have noticed that most of the people who came to see the excitement were women, children and the elderly, and there were no sturdy young people and children.

Xiao Qinglang saw that Xu Chu understood what he meant, so he didn't say more. Instead, he squatted down to check the deceased's clothes, and after a moment, he said, "There are traces of wet ice crystals on the soles of his shoes, and they are concentrated on the soles of his feet, which shows that he has been injured or dragged by them." ”

Xu Chu followed his line of sight, and sure enough, he saw that there were traces of drag on the soles of the deceased's shoes, but there were no similar marks around. Seeing that a shoe was slanted on the deceased's foot, she couldn't help frowning. However, before she could open her mouth to remind, she saw that Xiao Qinglang had already taken off the shoe, revealing the white socks that were full of mud and obviously wet and frozen.

"The shoe on my right foot had fallen off and was stained with mud and water. Either the murder scene was in a place where there was a flow of water, or the snow was dragged and then melted and left traces of water stains. ”

Xu Chu agrees with Xiao Qinglang's idea, but which of the two situations is the same, she needs to make a final conclusion after the autopsy.

Without waiting for others to speak again, Xiao Qinglang looked at Xu Chu and asked, "Can you see the cause of death?" ”

Xu Chu frowned and briefly checked it, but saw that the corpse had already been unrecognizable and difficult to confirm, so he turned back to Wei Guang and said, "I'm tired that Brother Wei sent someone to fetch my toolbox." ”

At this time, everyone in the guards had a black face and a cold ecology, if it weren't for the fact that they had experienced too much life and death by Xiao Qinglang's side, I was afraid that they would have made a fuss at this time. Rao is like this, they are enough to grit their teeth, and they even set their eyes on Xu Chu, expecting her to find out the murderer and avenge her dead brother.

"Lord, I need a clean white cloth or board......" Xu Chu squatted in place, and saw that the mess on the deceased's face was not due to the blood flow from his head, but because the flesh and blood of the wound were really blurred.

Xiao Qinglang naturally didn't question Xu Chu's words, he just glanced at the guards behind him, and saw that the man left in a hurry.

The guard had already seen Xu Chu's autopsy skills and knew that she was going to conduct an on-site examination. If Xiao Qinglang values and appreciates Xu Chu, then they are convinced of Xu Chu for no reason. After seeing her abilities, who would dare to underestimate a weak woman?

There are many things in the East and West villages, and clean white cloths and other items are available in the carriage of Jing'an Palace. The reason why I usually carry it with the car is mostly for emergency use when I am injured in an assassination, but now I just use it.

Xu Chu laid the wooden plank on the ground, then placed the white cloth on it, and finally carefully asked the deceased to be placed. Then, he put on plain gloves and took the autopsy knife and tweezers.

At this time, the surrounding villagers were crowded, and when they saw the handsome woman who actually started the autopsy without changing her face, she couldn't help but show an expression of disgust and disgust on her face. When he saw the man who was like the fairy on the side, he actually took the pen and ink and began to record, and he rarely showed a look of pity.

Hey, I didn't expect the good boy to give a trick to him, doesn't that mean that he is even more downtrodden than a lowly person? Of course, having said that, even if he is not cheap and dressed gorgeously, it is enough to be inferior to himself if he is actually subservient to a man......

It is no wonder that people have guessed from this that they have always been lowly in their lives, and to put it simply, those who beg for food are more decent than those who beg for food. And right now, seeing that the cleanly dressed girl is not shy about reaching out to untie the corpse's clothes, isn't it a pretense?

And the handsome man not only didn't dodge, but actually helped to record seriously, even if the countryman didn't understand the way of the rich and noble, but he also knew that the more decent people were, the more they would avoid this kind of thing. Like Xiao Qinglang, he is either a lowly person, or he is willing to be low, and the left and right are not good.

However, just when Xu Chu took off the deceased's clothes, he saw that the chest was a mess, full of blood and dent marks, and his appearance was unbearable. Many of the timid villagers, who were only frightened, screamed and retreated, and even more collapsed on the ground and kept retching.

However, looking at Xu Chu's appearance, he was not afraid of panic at all, which made many people secretly surprised, but they became taboo.

Such a beautiful woman is not afraid of such a terrifying scene, either she is used to it, or she is extremely hard. A woman who has always had a hard life will not end well, and even those who are close to her will suffer......

Xu Chuke didn't care what the eyes of others were, her eyes were calm, she carefully used tweezers to brush away the deceased's blood-stained hair, and then reached out and gently pressed his eye sockets.

The person's face was disfigured like this, and it was no longer possible to judge the time of death by her pupils, and she did this just to confirm her own conjecture. Sure enough, just as her fingers touched the eye socket, she saw that the mucus mixed with white blood continued to flow out, leaving on the white cloth and causing others to gag for a while.

At this time, even Xiao Qinglang unconsciously looked away, pursing the corners of his mouth and only looking at the serious and solemn face.

"Blunt force trauma, continuous blows, skull fragmentation and depression, bilateral brow bones collapsed, brain tissue was damaged, and cerebral plasma overflowed." Xu Chu carefully touched the skull of the deceased, trying to distinguish the order of the injuries in the pile of flesh and blood, "The blow on the top of the head is a fatal injury, and the smash on the face is a ...... formed after death."

Xu Chu frowned, and kept simulating the shape of the skull shattered just now, and then imagined how it was caused. If there is a torricular fragmented fracture in the center of the circle, it is ruled out that the murderer hid in the shadows and attacked suddenly.

The wound on the top of the head did not form a skew, which shows that the moment the murder weapon came into contact with the skull, it did not form any angle. In other words, if it is a human act, the murderer should have done it directly above the head of the deceased.

"The skull collapsed, and the concave surface was slightly larger, so it could be judged that a hard object such as a boulder or iron block fell directly above."

But the strange thing is that since he has succeeded, why did the murderer bother to smash the deceased's face and chest? Unless...... Unless it is a deliberate warning, a provocation, or ...... Or to hide the identity of the deceased.

"What kind of person would be so vicious?" Wei Guang held his breath, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice of resentment, "The sixth son's kung fu is not weak, how can he ......?"

In fact, it was not only him, but also the guards who followed, as well as the secret guards hidden in the shadows, all of them had gloomy faces at this time, and their hands were clenched into fists, but they couldn't declare the anger in their hearts because of their duties.

To be honest, in addition to the hatred of the murderer, they are more concerned about the safety of the prince in their hearts. And this concern is like a belief that always accompanies them. It is necessary to know how important King Jing'an, who is in charge of the prison, that is, the person they want to protect, to the court and the people.

Such a scar not only cost a person's life, but also made him die without leaving a dignity, so miserable, it can't help but make people's hearts chill.

"Brother Wei, don't be preconceived. The deceased was injured beyond recognition, and the body is nameless for the time being. Xu Chumu didn't squint, only retorted in a calm tone, and then bent down to check the limbs, hands and feet of the corpse.

Wei Guang wanted to say something more, but his heart was tightened by the glance of the prince frowning, and then he looked at Xu Chu's focused and serious expression, and couldn't help but feel a little weak. can follow the prince to protect him, he is naturally not stupid, the so-called art industry has a specialty, don't say that it is himself in the autopsy, even the prince may not be able to compare to Xu Chu, this girl.

She was very careful about the details because she suspected the identity of the deceased. Thinking of this, her gaze fell on the clothes worn by the deceased. After a little thought, she lifted the deceased's right hand, but saw that the deceased's finger joints were a little thick, and there were thin calluses at the tiger's mouth, but there were still extremely thick calluses on the thumb and index finger.

What made her even more suspicious was that the deceased not only had a thick callus on his right thumb and index finger, but also a callus on the second joint of the middle finger of his left hand.

"The deceased was born in the military, in the military, or in the identity of Orion."

"The sixth son, twenty-four, six years in the northwest army, is an archer. Later, when the royal driver was on a personal expedition, he saw that he was extremely talented, so he asked the palace guards to bring him back to teach. Xiao Qinglang opened his mouth to speak, but his tone was quite solemn. Obviously, what Xu Chu thought of, he also thought of, and seemed to have a deeper guess but did not say it.

"Lord Wang, can you dissect it?" Xu Chu looked at it for a moment and asked with a solemn expression.

"This ......" Xiao Qinglang frowned, the sixth son was an orphan who was trained by guards since he was a child and finally selected to his side, although there was no family opposition, there would always be a slight difference in emotion. It's just that when he hesitated to meet Xu Chu's calm gaze, he still sighed and withdrew his gaze and nodded, "Naturally." ”

With permission, Xu Chu no longer hesitated, and cut the knife on the deceased's chest and abdomen very neatly. In an instant, the skin opened and the chest cracked.

Li Zheng saw that the two of them were actually busy with their own work, and couldn't help but feel angry, and just as they were about to step forward, they saw the knife go down, revealing the bloody and blurred internal organs. And the black blood was accompanied by the pungent smell of rust and blood, so the unspoken evil words were directly blocked, and he even spit out directly before he had time to cover his mouth and nose with his sleeve.

This vomit caused another toss, and some of the brave could barely turn around and find a quiet place to gag. But those timid and many women directly collapsed and exhaled on the spot, only vomiting sour and disgusting, but they didn't care.

Even if Li Zheng came back weakly later, he still endured the tumbling in his stomach, Yin Tang turned black, and his face turned blue and he didn't dare to take a second look, let alone ask any questions.

The cold wind swept up the snow on the soles of their feet, making the onlookers feel cold.

The deceased's chest and abdomen were cut extremely intact, and there was no blood circulation, so no blood was spurted at this time. I can clearly see that the internal organs are already rotten and blurred.

"A total of 24 ribs on the left and right were all broken, and the spleen, stomach, liver and kidneys were damaged." Xu Chu frowned, such a way of dying, if there is no hatred, I am afraid that she herself will not believe it. It's so cruel to do it, it's inhumane at all.

"The wounds on the face were the same as those on the chest and abdomen, and they were all done after death. The murderer did not panic after the killing, and he also ruthlessly smashed the person beyond recognition and dragged the body here, which shows that he is calm and has a strong resistance to pressure. ”
