The first time, corpses
The warmth of spring is getting stronger, and the grass on the riverbank is fresh and tender. As twilight approaches, the colors of the horizon darken, like the deepest color on the Phalaenopsis petals. When that round of golden light sank into the other side of the mountain, the night finally came to the world.
On the riverbank, there is nothing but a breeze passing through the gaps.
However, a footstep-like sound came closer and closer, until it approached the rows of tall green willows.
In the night, Cuiliu's graceful figure in the daytime, at this moment, the shadow is reflected in the light moonlight night, and it looks like a ghost with his teeth and claws, opening his bloody mouth to devour people into his stomach.
The stumbling footsteps moved little by little on the grass, and the man seemed to be a little anxious, and the man cursed a few times. If you listen closely, it's an extremely young voice, sounding like it's about twenty years old. The voice was heard by a man, but for some reason he appeared by this inaccessible river at this time.
Gradually, as time passed, there was finally another footstep on the grass.
The steps were a little gentle, and the steps were a little smaller, and they were almost inaudible on the soft grass.
However, the person who came immediately recognized the voice, as if he looked back in surprise. However, his expression was forever frozen in that moment.
"Poof!" When the human body fell to the ground, there was a muffled sound of rubbing against the grass, and the moonlight was dim, and only a white light could be seen rubbing the color of blood.
The man stood quietly for a while, and then without hesitation, he threw the object in his hand into the river, only to hear "poof!" There was a few more grunts, and the object sank.
A few moments later, another slightly louder voice rang out. When the object sank into the water, it made a large splash, blurring the moonlight and obscuring the face.
The moonlight hid in the dark clouds, and it was not until the voice faded away that she quietly revealed a trace of her face to spy on the joys and sorrows that had happened in this world.
East Coast, Lecheng.
The white walls of Daiwa, the green mountains and willows, and the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River are almost the same, but because of the majestic sound of the sea, it adds a bit of atmosphere and magnificence.
The early fishing boats have returned to their homes, and the fresh catch is dumped on the ground, reflecting the happy smiling faces of the fishermen.
At the same time, on Peace Street, a day of ordinary life is about to begin.
The newly appointed Ah Ye quickly greeted the people one by one, and then began a one-day patrol on the street with his new member, Doushabao.
When he walked to the entrance of East Street, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Dead man! ”
Qian Ye's eyebrows were sharp, his feet were fast, and he came to the man in an instant, and said with a condensed face: "Where are the dead people?" ”
The man pointed sharply to a nearby river, his face white and seemingly frightened.
"Wait here until I go and see." So saying, he walked towards the place where the man was fingered.
When I arrived on the riverbank, I saw that there were already many onlookers. Qian Ye frowned slightly, although she had never done a murder, if so many people gathered together, it would destroy the scene. I couldn't help shouting at the crowd: "Disperse!" The government handles the case! ”
Many of the onlookers were residents on Heping Street, and when they saw Qianye at this moment, they hurriedly dodged away, and said hurriedly: "Ah Ye is catching quickly, someone has been killed!" ”
Qian Ye nodded at the crowd and entered the circle of people. On the bank of the river lay a white and swollen corpse that had been soaked for a long time, and it looked like the man was about twenty years old, his face was slightly deformed, his eyes were pitch black, and his eyes had disappeared for unknown reasons. Look at the top of his neck, a blood-soaked placket, and a blistered bloody mouth that has changed shape and has an open mouth. At a glance, it was roughly concluded that this person may have been cut through the neck with a sharp weapon to death, but the final cause of death can only be known after an examination.
Looking for someone to go to the county government to report the case, he asked the crowd, "Who found this body first?" ”
"Back to the official, it's an old man." An old man in a short shirt and a hat on his head said.
Qian Ye looked at this person's clothes and knew that this person must be a fisherman in the vicinity, so he nodded and said, "Tell me what you saw and heard at that time." ”
The old man recalled: "This morning, I cast a net on the river to fish. When I was about to close the net, I felt that the net was much heavier than usual, and I was secretly happy at that time, and my heart must have gained a lot. But when I put the net away and opened it, I saw such a thing! The old man's face turned pale, as if he had lingering feelings about the scene at that time. Then I dragged it ashore and waited for the yamen to dispose of it. ”
Qian Ye nodded and said, "Please send this matter to the yamen in detail in a while, so that we can investigate the case." ”
The place of Lecheng is not big, and after a while, a group of catchers came one after another, and this was led by Zhao Zhutou. After seeing Qianye, Zhao Zhutou was stunned, and then said, "It turns out that Ah Ye is also here!" ”
Qian Ye bowed his head lightly at him and said, "Bother Zhao Zhutou to come and take a look, this is a big case in our Lecheng in recent years." ”
Zhao Zhutou hadn't seen a dead body for several years, and he suddenly turned his face into the eyeless face, and couldn't help but be horrified. "Such a vicious person, he actually gouged out people's eyes!"
Qian Ye didn't study the corpse, so everyone could only carry the corpse back to Yizhuang, waiting for the corpse to come.
Don't look at Lecheng, although it is small, it still has a servant. But as for his craftsmanship, it is not known.
He took off the corpse's robe, examined it, and confirmed Qian Ye's guess: "This person was killed by a sharp weapon cutting his throat!" However, his eyes didn't seem to have been gouged out on the spot, as if they were ......"
"Eaten by the fish in the river?" Qian Ye, who was standing on the side, rubbed his chin and said.
Zhao Zhutou shuddered violently, and suddenly felt that the fried fish he ate last night was surging in his stomach, and he couldn't help covering his mouth and wanting to vomit.
"That's about it. When this man died, he must have kept his eyes open, otherwise the eyeballs would not have been taken by the fish. It seems that he has not been dead for a long time, otherwise there will definitely be traces of being bitten by fish, large and small. ”
Qian Ye nodded undeniably, if the ordinary corpse was soaked in the river for a long time, after all, it would be attacked by the fish. "Zhao Zhutou, how can you see?"
Zhao Zhutou shook his head and took a few steps back, away from the corpse that seemed to emit a rancid smell. "We can't take this kind of case in Lecheng. When I know my lordship, I will report this matter to the six gates! ”
Qian Ye was stunned, there were also six doors here. In the past, I have only seen it in film and television dramas, and it is said that there is no such mysterious department in history. In her opinion, these six doors are probably similar to the modern criminal police. And the six gates are said to have been set up only in the capital. I just don't know what kind of skills this ancient criminal police will have.
