Chapter 102: Picking up the corpse in the middle of the night
At last, at night, the bright moon above the sky covered half of the sky, and it was bright.
Lin Zhifan stood by the river in the eastern suburbs waiting for the two of them, raised his eyes and saw the shadows of two women walking towards him, he couldn't help but step forward to greet him, and saw Bai Hanyan carrying a big burden in his hand, he reached out and took it.
Suddenly, he laughed: "You two women are really bold, and you come to dig graves in the middle of the night, which really makes me and other men inferior." ”
Zi Yan was teased by his words and hesitated a little, her steps paused slightly, but Bai Hanyan bent her eyes and smiled: "Didn't you call you?" You seven-foot men have to do the work, right? Zi Yan. ”
Zi Yan pursed her lips and chuckled silently, Lin Zhifan scratched her head, smiled innocently, and the three of them walked down the river towards the hillside.
A bright moon in the sky, the river water is clear and transparent, like a glittering brocade, the scenery is very beautiful, the three of them walked for a quarter of an hour to go up the high slope.
The high place is not cold, and it is a little cold here, Zi Yan shivered, and her eyes looked at a grave in front of her with some sadness.
Bai Hanyan walked up to Zi Yan, patted her on the shoulder and whispered, "Zi Yan is not the time to be sad yet. ”
Zi Yan's expression moved, slowly looked at Bai Hanyan and nodded solemnly, the three of them approached the grave, and saw that it was extremely gorgeous and repaired, although it was a young child who was just one year old, but the Chang family did not treat him badly, Bai Hanyan said to Lin Zhifan who was holding a shovel on the side: "Let's do it, how did this child die, we will see in a while." ”
Lin Zhifan nodded, took the shovel and dug down on Xiaobao's grave, but saw him bend over and wave his arms, dust and mud flying, and in less than half an hour, he saw a mahogany coffin.
This mahogany coffin was much smaller than a normal coffin, and after Lin Zhifan and Bai Hanyan glanced at each other, he slowly lowered his head and pushed the coffin lid to the side.
Suddenly, the body of a small doll was revealed in the coffin. It's just that the white flesh on his body has rotted for two months, his skin has turned iron blue and crimson, and his face is terrifying, Ziyan's eyes are full of sorrow when he sees this, and he can't help crying.
Bai Hanyan spread a white cloth on the ground, Lin Zhifan put on gloves made of gray cloth, carefully took Xiaobao's body out of the mahogany coffin, and landed on the white cloth, only to see Xiaobao's small body wearing a small robe made of silk brocade cloth, wearing a felt hat with jade embedded on his head, and holding gold and silver in his hand.
"In the end, this Changfu is a big man, and a young child is also buried like this." Lin Zhifan's eyes were full of disdain and his face was mocking.
Bai Hanyan stepped forward and took out an oil lamp from the package and landed next to the corpse, took out a fire fold from his sleeve and lit the oil lamp, and suddenly the dim light was exceptionally bright in the dark night, sweeping away the darkness a lot, and then she leaned over to look at the body of Xiaobao.
I saw that Xiaobao's eyes were closed, Bai Hanyan stretched out his hand to open his eyelids, and saw that there was no blood-like color at the bottom of his eyes, and there were no bleeding spots, and his face was naturally rotten blue and red, he checked Xiaobao's nose and tongue and there was no abnormality, Bai Hanyan became suspicious at the moment, and started to remove all the clothes on Xiaobao's body, at this moment his large and small rotten spots on his body, and there was no wound.
Bai Hanyan frowned slightly, took out a cowhide water bag from the package, gently opened the plug, and dripped water all over Xiaobao's body, and then she leaned over to check the direction of the water dripping on the corpse.
Lin Zhifan leaned over curiously and asked aloud, "Fu Shu, what are you doing?" “
Bai Hanyan glanced at it while observing the direction of the water, and said impatiently: "This is called the method of checking the wound by water droplets, the skin on the surface of the skin after death is stiff and inelastic, and it is difficult to see the small wounds. ”
Zi Yan squatted beside Xiaobao, and had to look at Bai Hanyan with admiration, and exclaimed: "Fu Shu, you are really a different kind of woman, which makes Zi Yan admire it tightly, I thought that this kind of thing can only be done by a servant, but I didn't expect Fu Shu to know so much!" ”
Bai Hanyan raised his head and smiled at her, and said, "It's just a means to live, it's not worth mentioning." ”
"So what did Fu Shu find, is there a wound on Xiaobao's body?" Zi Yan asked again.
Bai Hanyan shook his head and said: "Xiaobao has no bleeding spots in his eyes, the iron blue and blood red of his face is the color of normal decay, if someone covers his mouth with his hand, thus suffocating to death, then Xiaobao is still young, less than a year old, and the flesh and bones on his body are fragile, then his nose will be damaged, and his tongue and lips will also be damaged, but after I checked, I found that Xiaobao's body does not have these characteristics, so it is not suffocation." ”
Zi Yan's body weakened, she sat on the ground, and tears fell down: "The sky can be seen, my grievances have finally been cleared." ”
Lin Zhifan wanted to reach out and hold her shoulder, but found that he was not qualified, and he was afraid of offending her, so he turned his hand to the side and scratched his head and said, "Zi Yan, don't be sad, there will always be a time when the truth will be revealed." ”
Zi Yan cried for a while before nodding slowly to him, raised her eyes to look at Bai Hanyan and said, "Fu Shu, how did that little treasure die?" ”
Bai Hanyan's eyes were like two bright lights, looking at the fire, and said in a condensed voice: "I just used the method of dripping water, and I didn't find a wound on Xiaobao's body, which means that he didn't die of external injuries." ”
"How will that die?" Lin Zhifan frowned and stared at Xiaobao's small corpse, and suddenly speculated: "Could it be poisoning?" ”
Bai Hanyan nodded with deep eyes: "I also have this suspicion, whether it is poisoning or not, I will know after trying it." ”
After that, she turned around and took out a bronze medal the size of a small finger from the package, a small glass bottle and a small bowl, she took off the cork, and the smell of liquid in it jumped out, Zi Yan sniffed slightly: "Is it honey locust water?" ”
Bai Hanyan smiled and nodded, took out the water in the bottle and poured it into the bowl, scrubbed the bronze medal repeatedly and took it out, she leaned over slightly, broke Xiaobao's lips with two fingers, put the finger-sized bronze medal into his mouth, and then closed his lips.
About half an hour later, Bai Han took out the bronze medal again, poured out the water in the bowl, took out the glass bottle and filled the bowl with water, and put the bronze medal taken out of Xiaobao's mouth into the bowl and scrubbed it repeatedly.
Under the swaying lights, Bai Hanyan stared at the water that night with bated breath, waiting for the result, and sure enough, the water was undoubtedly revealed under the light and moonlight, and turned black!
Seeing this scene, Zi Yan couldn't help but widen her eyes and cover her lips with her hands, and Lin Zhifan on the side also changed her face.
"Xiaobao was poisoned to death!" Bai Hanyan narrowed a pair of deep starry eyes slightly, a fierce color surfaced, and said coldly: "Such a vicious heart, he actually used such a dirty means of poisoning to deal with a child. ”
After a period of embarrassment, Lin Zhifan put Xiaobao's body in the coffin again, closed the lid and buried the soil.
Zi Yan knelt in front of Xiaobao's tombstone, burning paper money one by one, the burning firelight reflected a pair of teary eyes, the crumbs of paper money kept dancing in her hair, she looked at Xiaobao's cold stone tablet, and whispered softly with her wriggling lips: "Xiaobao, rest in peace, my aunt will definitely find out the truth, find the murderer who killed you, and also find out the murderer who killed your mother, and you died in my arms in vain." ”
On the way back, Zi Yan's expression was a little sluggish, Bai Hanyan sighed slightly, stepped forward and pulled her hand to comfort: "Justice in this world lasts forever, the truth will be revealed sooner or later, God will not let the good people be wronged, the wicked will be free, and the innocent will die in vain." ”
Zi Yan raised her head to see Bai Hanyan, and saw that her eyes were like bright lights that could not be stopped by the shining stars, and she couldn't help nodding her head heavily.
Bai Hanyan smiled at her, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Zi Yan, think about it, on the day Xiaobao died two months ago, who else had seen him alone besides you?" ”
Zi Yan paused, opened a pair of bright eyes and thought carefully: "That day was originally Xiaobao's first birthday, Liu Yan originally planned to hold a few tables of banquets in Zhang Luo, but Chang Da did not allow it, because the child is too young to be extravagant, so as not to refuse from the beginning, although Liu Yan was resentful, but he had no choice but to go to his husband, no, Chang Fengxuan, but he didn't pay attention to this matter, just casually said that on the first day of the child's first birthday, he should eat a hundred family meals, trying to feed a lifetime without pain. ”
"Hundred family rice? But what does the beggar eat? Bai Hanyan asked.
Zi Yan nodded and responded: "Yes, Chang Fengxuan said that he ate 100 family meals when he was one year old, and sure enough, there was no disease in this life." ”
"That's the hundred family rice that Chang Fengxuan found?" Bai Hanyan asked urgently.
Zi Yan shook her head and said, "No, in fact, Chang Fengxuan didn't return at all that day, and discussed with the singer about composing music in the Drunken Flower Building, and he didn't return until someone notified him after the accident." ”
"Who is that looking for Baijia Rice?" Bai Hanyan felt as if the truth was one step away.
Zi Yan sighed and said: "It's Liu Yan, she went to find it, that's why Xiaobao stayed in my arms for an hour, after Liu Yan came back, feed him some food and go back to the room to get Xiaobao's belongings, and when she comes back, Xiaobao, Xiaobao is already dead." ”
"I see." Bai Hanyan lowered his eyebrows, only to feel that all the weirdness was in that bowl of rice, it seemed that Zi Yan suspected Liu Yan of killing her son, which was not reasonable.
"Forget it, there are some things that don't rush for a while." Lin Zhifan looked up at the sky and said, "It's too late, I'll send you back." ”
Bai Hanyan nodded, looked back at the tomb of Xiaobao again, and only felt that an inexplicable gloom was enveloping his head, making people feel cold all over his body.
When they returned to the thatched hut in the mountains, it was the second half of the night, and when the two of them pushed the door open, they saw a hazy shadow standing in the house, and they were startled. ”
