With these thoughts in her mind, Chen Ying's attention was not distracted, and suddenly, a burst of aroma wafted from her nose, which had a slightly flushing smell, which made her stop all of a sudden.

At that moment, a picture flashed in her mind.

That was when she first went to Old Lady Ho's house, when a man in the courtyard did something seemingly ordinary.8

However, that action was ignored by her, after all, it was not out of line, and ordinary people would almost do it.

But now that she thought about it, she finally smelled something strange from this move.

Chen Ying half-raised her head, looking at a certain place in the void in a daze, and another scene and dialogue seemed to appear in front of her.

At this time, the two frames of the front and the back flashed repeatedly in her mind, until finally, superimposed together.

Her hand clenched in her sleeve clenched suddenly.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Mother Feng's voice suddenly came, interrupting Chen Ying's thoughts.

She waved her hand slightly, turned to the right, and said the same voice behind the fence: "Wait a minute." ”

Mother Feng answered yes and stopped walking.

Lang Tingyu, who was walking at the forefront, also noticed something strange at this time, stopped and looked over, with a little doubt on his face: "Why don't you leave?" ”

He was answered by a voice with a slight smile.

"I'm hungry, let's go get something to eat." After saying this, Chen Ying lifted the corner of her skirt and walked towards the crowded shop of the family......

Old Lady He's body was wrapped in a white cloth and placed neatly on the bed.

The room was still messy, and it still had the same scene as it had been at the time of the crime. However, the red lacquered wood triangles used to record all kinds of evidence are piled up on the big case of Ming Ma'er at the moment, and there is a page of drawings spread out next to it.

Pei Shu stood beside the desk, his eyes swept over the page of drawings from time to time, and returned to the paper in his hand, with a pensive face.

At this time, it was nearly early afternoon (eleven o'clock in the morning), and nearly an hour had passed since the body was found, and what he was holding in his hand was the examination record provided by the old servant.

It's hard to describe how he felt when he saw the record, not so much amazement, but utter shock.

Naturally, it is impossible for this kind of emotion to appear on Pei Shu's face.

He lowered his head slightly, his gaze wandering back and forth over the record for a long time, in order to comprehend every word on it to the fullest extent.

This was not his first exposure to this kind of record.

In fact, since he took up his post in the Criminal Department, he has had a lot of leisure to go through the case files over the years, and he doesn't know how many autopsy records he has read.

However, he was still stunned by the autopsy conclusion in front of him.

After a long while, he raised his head, staring at the old man who was still standing respectfully, and his brows were tightly locked: "This is the result of your test?" ”

"Yes, sir." He bowed and replied.

He was a dark-skinned old man, short and stocky, with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and a short gray beard under his chin, which looked like an old peasant at a glance, and there was no gloom in his body.

In fact, he is the best in Dengzhou Mansion, notoriously meticulous, and has never mistakenly examined a corpse.

"As far as you can see, the old lady He was first covered with a big pillow and was not dead; Later, he was strangled by a belt, but he was still not dead; Then the murderer put a curtain on his mouth and nose, and he struggled out. In the end, he was smashed in the head with a candlestick, and then he died? Pei Shu asked, holding up the record, a trace of disbelief crossed his eyes.

He has walked on the rivers and lakes, and he has never heard of anyone who can kill people in such a strange way.

"As your grown-ups see." The old man replied calmly, obviously very confident in his judgment, and explained carefully: "The villain found a few filaments at the mouth and nose of the deceased, and after investigation, it was on the big pillow, and there were also a few wet stains on the pillow, which were suspected to be the saliva of the deceased. In addition, there were a number of strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, which can be divided into two thicknesses, one of which was similar in size to the curtain, and the skin was also imprinted with the blue dye of the curtain, and the thin one was similar to the sash, and the gray dye of the belt was also printed on it. ”

After a brief pause, he continued: "These two dyes are intertwined, but if you look closely, you can still see that the green is below and the gray is on the top, which indicates that the murderer first strangled his neck with a curtain and then replaced it with a belt. ”

At this point, he bowed and said no more.

The fatal wound caused by the candlestick did not need to be explained, it was obvious, and he knew that Shangguan doubted these marks.

There was a brief silence in the room, and then Pei Shu's voice sounded again: "This murderer...... Isn't it true that he doesn't know martial arts? ”

"Back to my lord, judging from the method of killing, the murderer does not know martial arts." His voice was very determined.

Pei Shu pondered for a moment, nodded his head very slowly, and agreed with the other party's opinion.

Even those reckless men who can only use their fists and feet are impossible not to even carry a knife on their bodies, so they just find a murder weapon to kill people on the spot.

That's not the style of the Jianghu people at all.

However, if this matter was not done by the Jianghu people, then who would it be?

Besides, why did the remnants find such an unhelpful person to kill? Aren't they afraid of missing out?

Besides, why don't you let He Juncheng have the obvious goal of not killing, but want to kill Old Lady He?

Could it be that because this murderer was a young child, the first time he killed someone, he didn't dare to kill a young and strong person, but targeted an old man who lived alone?

Pei Shu paced in place with his hands in his hands for two steps, his brows furrowed, always feeling that this thing was beyond imagination and made people at a loss.

At this time, a clerk walked in from outside and said respectfully, "Lord Qiyu, the things have been counted." ”

Pei Shu came back to his senses and waved his hand to the old man first: "You go and wait outside the door first." ”

The old man bowed down and retreated, Pei Shu took off his robe and sat on the armchair, and asked, "Have you ever lost anything?" ”

"Yes, my lord." As he spoke, the clerk handed over a piece of paper and said, "The list is here, please look at it." ”

Pei Shu took the list a little carelessly, only glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth hooked: "Just such a little thing?" ”

When the official heard this, a look of almost embarrassment appeared on his face: "Lord Hui, Lord He said, that's all." ”

Pei Shu stared at the piece of paper, and the corners of his hooked mouth were not flattened for a long time: "Two unembroidered handkerchiefs, plus a sewing bag, this is a lost item?" After the raised tail note, there was a loud "tsk", and when he spoke again, there was an unconcealable ridicule between his words: "Lord He is sure that this was taken by the murderer last night, not a subordinate who made a mistake or lost it?" ”
