Chapter 17: Approaching Bai Luo
Bai Luo frowned, she remembered that it was this Ding Yi who bribed the original Bai Luo with fifty taels of silver, so that Uncle Miao could get this position.
He Si stepped forward and woke up Ding Yi, who woke up in a daze, saw a group of people surrounding him in front of him, he was so frightened that he woke up suddenly, he got up with his hands and feet, and said, "Big ...... Adult, adult forgiveness, the little one just fell asleep in a daze, and the little one didn't dare to sleep last night, looking at Li Tiegen's corpse. ”
Bai Luo looked at Ding Yi in front of her, dressed in a soap suit, with black soap boots, a stout figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, but she didn't have the appearance of being good at studying and playing clever as she originally expected in her heart, but with a simple and honest appearance.
Bai Luo looked at Ding Yi, nodded, and asked him, "This is Li Tiegen's corpse?" ”
"Yes, my lord, the little one has been guarded." Ding Yi replied.
After speaking, thinking that he was caught by Bai Luo in the morning when he was sleeping secretly, Ding Yi's face turned red again, and he explained sincerely, "Except for a short nap just now, all night, the little ones have opened their eyes and watched them all the time." ”
"It doesn't matter." Bai Luo waved his hand to signal Ding Yi to step back, no longer discussing this topic, and turned his head to discuss with Uncle Miao: "Uncle Miao, you see what preparations need to be made." ”
Uncle Miao looked at the light here, then looked at the corpse in the mat, pursed his lips and said, "The light is too dim, just light some candles." ”
After speaking, Uncle Miao put down the box in his hand, took out a pair of clean white cloth gloves and put them on, and began to untie the straw mat wrapped in the corpse.
This abandoned house was full of dust, Uncle Miao was wearing an old and faded soap suit, his old body was kneeling on the cold ground with difficulty, and the posture of hanging his head and bending over was obviously very uncomfortable, but he didn't care, the expression on his face was serious and serious, and he was obviously used to such a simple and temporary autopsy environment.
Bai Luo couldn't help but think of the spacious and bright workshop of modern forensic doctors, and the shadowless lamps used for surgery; a professional dissection table that preserves the carbon dioxide from decomposing the corpse; a mature and sharp scalpel; a rope dedicated to holding a corpse in place during dissection; dissecting saws and blades for cutting; ** and speculum for rectal examination; Fingerprint collectors ...... collect fingerprints, and a variety of advanced devices are available.
In Bai Luo's memory, modern forensic doctors are all respected, they stand in front of the autopsy table with their backs straight in the cold, spacious and bright workshop to dissect the corpse, find all kinds of clues, and provide clues for solving the case.
And the old man in front of him, who is almost ancient, has done a lifetime of work, performing autopsies in all kinds of unbearable environments, I don't know how many deceased people have served justice, and how many parties have cleared their grievances, but they are regarded by the world as ominous people and disliked, and they have nothing to rely on, so that they can only live in Yizhuang, accompanied by cold corpses, and the evening scene is bleak.
But even so, when the case requires him, he will still stand up.
Bai Luo's eyes were a little sour, people like Uncle Miao were indeed worthy of respect.
Worthy of the respect of all the world.
Inside the door, Uncle Miao untied the straw mat with ease and carefully began to turn the corpse.
Outside the door, a black carriage came slowly.
When Hua Qian helped Liu Zhiran out of the carriage, Hua Qian's eyes quietly glanced at Han Cong, who was leisurely drinking tea at the tea stall diagonally opposite, and immediately separated after comprehending it.
Hua Qian and Han Cong, the two personal secret guards, have always been one in the light and the other in the dark.
Bai Luo looked at Uncle Miao's back and was about to say something, when there was a knock on the door.
Bai Luo turned around and saw the two of them walking in from the door where only half of the door was left.
The person who came was Liu Zhiran, followed by Hua Qian, who looked like a small guy and respectfully followed.
Jiang Xin immediately stepped forward to stop the two of them and asked, "Who is coming?" ”
"In Lufuyuan, a grain merchant in Xialanzhou, my father Louis Cheng was entrusted by my father to bring a letter to Miao Chengzuo." Liu Zhiran politely introduced his identity and asked everyone, "I don't know which one is Miao Chengzuo." ”
Uncle Miao, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up with the support of He San after hearing his name, and turned to look at the visitor.
Uncle Miao's eyes showed a look of doubt, he didn't know any of these two people.
Uncle Miao moved a few steps forward, slowly moving his sore knees on the cold ground, and wondered: "Down there is Miao Wu, ...... Your Excellency?" ”
Bai Luo knew Uncle Miao's full name for the first time, and his name was Miao Wu?
Liu Zhiran bowed to Uncle Miao and said with a smile: "Miao Shibo, my father was once favored by you, and I heard that Miao Shibo returned to his hometown from the capital, and his little nephew came to visit. After speaking, he gestured to Hua Qian behind him, and said elegantly: "My father specially repaired a book and ordered my little nephew to bring it." ”
Hua Qian immediately stepped forward, took out a letter from the placket, and bowed respectfully with both hands and handed it to Uncle Miao.
Uncle Miao was still confused, he couldn't remember what he had done with the family surnamed Lu.
Uncle Miao lowered his head and opened the envelope and looked down, there were only two thin pieces of paper inside, these two pieces of paper were very familiar, and he could recognize them without pulling them out.
One is a secret letter written by him and sent to the Lanzhou Inspector Yushi Cai Weizhou Cai, and the other is a letter of guarantee written by Bai Luo.
Uncle Miao's face changed suddenly, and Fu immediately calmed down again.
He quietly closed the envelope and said kindly: "It turned out to be Lu Xian's nephew, the virtuous nephew has worked hard from afar, I don't know if Ling Zun's health is okay?" ”
"Thank you Miao Shibo for your concern, my father's health is quite healthy." Liu Zhiran replied respectfully, his brows were calm, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows no longer had the usual gloomy atmosphere, just like the son of an ordinary big family, modest and polite, quite educated, but not deeply involved.
Only the calmness and calmness in the depths of his eyes revealed that this young man was actually quite urban.
If Uncle Miao hadn't seen the letter, he wouldn't have seen anything wrong with the young man in front of him.
Uncle Miao glanced at the "Lu Gongzi" in front of him inquiringly, and said tentatively: "If the virtuous nephew doesn't go back to the residence first, I will visit the virtuous nephew after my business is done." ”
But he didn't expect Liu Zhiran to say abruptly: "It's the first time I've gone out, and my father went to the northwest to check the grain collection channels." As soon as I arrived in Anning County, I came to find Miao Shibo, who was not deeply involved, and my father was also afraid of being deceived by others, so he asked him to find Miao Shibo to help explore the way. You see, this ......"
Liu Zhiran was shy and embarrassed.
Uncle Miao has been immersed in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, and he has long known the methods of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and immediately reacted, this young man was only afraid that he was sent by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this was to use his identity to approach Bai Luo and investigate her situation.
Thinking of the report letter he had written to Lord Cai, Uncle Miao knew it in his heart.
Uncle Miao immediately looked at Bai Luo in embarrassment, and hesitated: "But I also have no fixed residence, and now it is Lord Bai's grace that I live in the county office, this, I'm afraid it ......."
Bai Luo immediately said: "It's okay, it's just a loan, the county government is so big, since Uncle Miao's old friend has entrusted his nephew to him, of course Uncle Miao has to take good care of it." Accommodation is not a problem, although Uncle Miao is relieved. ”
Although Uncle Miao helped the young man from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to set up Bai Luo, he didn't expect Bai Luo to be so refreshing, so he agreed to it, but he was a little reluctant to go.
He hesitated, "That's ......"
Liu Zhiran immediately bowed down to Bai Luo, and said with a grateful face: "Thank you Lord Bai for this." ”
