When he returned to the autopsy room, Zhang Tong's heart was calm.

He looked at Xiao Hengyan lying on the autopsy bed, wrapped in layers of white cloth, and also thought about what kind of mood a pampered young master would be in that dark waste well, when his bones were broken all over his body, and he was desperately waiting for death.

The Xiao family was wiped out, and the subordinates who guarded the old mansion also ran away.

He pleaded for help.

It's just that Guan Chu still found him too late.

"If I had secretly sent a few people to sneak into the old mansion to have a look, I might have been able to save him back." Guan Chu didn't know when he came, and stood at the door in a daze.

Zhang Tong turned around and glanced at him, while putting on his gloves and carefully untying the rope tied with the white cloth, he said: "Where is there anything, if his life is counted, it will be so." ”

What Zhang Tong said was right, but Guan Chu still felt that he was responsible.

He leaned against the door frame, boredly playing with the sidecar hanging from his waist, and pouted: "I still feel sorry, if I ......"

Zhang Tong stopped what he was doing, and before Guan Chu finished speaking, he immediately said, "Then you should be sorry." ”

"Eh, you're a man...... Why are you so uncompassionate? Guan Chu immediately shook off the sidecar in his hand and pointed to Zhang Tong's back and asked.

Zhang Tong sneered: "I'm a fool, I don't have much moonsilver, don't keep thinking about rubbing something from me, hurry up and roll the calf, don't disturb Lao Tzu's autopsy, if the test is not good, I will tell the adult that you hinder me and let him lower your moonsilver." ”

"Don't don't, you're a master, you test you, I'm out there and you have something to order."

"Get out of here, annoying!"

Carefully untie the rope and spread out the white cloth, Xiao Hengyan's slightly distorted face appeared in front of Zhang Tong's eyes, Guan Chu, who was standing outside the door, smelled the rotten smell in the room and suddenly became stronger, stretched his neck and glanced into the room, and that face also appeared in sight.

Guan Chu frowned, his heart tightened, and he retracted his head.

"What a sin." Guan Chu said.

Zhang Tong heard Guan Chu's voice inside, and didn't say anything, but only carefully peeled off the clothes on Xiao Hengyan's body first, the wounds on his body had traces of being cut by a knife, stabbed marks, and there were also marks that seemed to be scratched by rubbing on the ground, and there was almost no intact place on his body.

"Indeed, iniquity is created." Zhang Tong said.

"What's wrong?" Guan Chu was a little cold and a little bored standing outside alone, so he stomped his feet and asked inside.

Zhang Tong hung his head, holding tweezers in his hand, and a wooden pot on the side, Xiao Hengyan had been dead for a long time, and the corpse worms had already grown, he had to remove the corpse worms from the corpse one by one before he could conduct a proper autopsy.

He picked all the corpse insects into the wooden jar next to him, and observed for a while, the weather was cold, and at the same time, the bottom of the waste well was also dry, and the corpse insects did not grow too much, which made Zhang Tong feel a little relieved.

Xiao Hengyan was well raised by Xiao Ting'an, he has not suffered any setbacks since he was a child, his fine skin and tender flesh, no matter what kind of wounds appear on his body, they are extremely terrifying, and the knife marks on his neck are particularly clear and familiar.

Zhang Tong frowned: "Close the head, come in." ”

Guan Chu crossed his arms and heard Zhang Tong calling him inside, although he really didn't want to go in in his heart, but there was no way, now the two of them in the yamen could talk, and he didn't want to run somewhere else on a cold day.

"What's wrong?" Guan Chu reluctantly stepped in.

"Look at this knife mark, do you look familiar?" Zhang Tong pointed to the wound on Xiao Hengyan's neck, turned his head and asked Guan Chu.

Guan Chu leaned over and glanced at it, and his heart sank: "This ...... Is this a fatal injury? ”

"Sort of."

"What do you mean?" Guan Chu frowned.

"The knife is very deep, but it is not fatal, Young Master Xiao was in a state of suffocation at the time, he was overly stimulated and frightened, and he fainted for a period of time, which made the murderer think that he was dead on the spot, and when he was thrown into the waste well, he was still alive." Zhang Tong hung his head, he remembered the blood marks on the wall of the abandoned well.

Guan Chu patted Zhang Tong on the shoulder: "What else did you see in the waste well?" ”

"Bloodstains, I can imagine, after he woke up at that time, he covered his neck and wanted to call for help, but he couldn't shout, so he could only grab the wall of the well and try to climb up, I don't know how long he struggled, anyway, he died." Zhang Tong took a deep breath, the original wound on his neck was much deeper than the other wounds on his body, and then because after the person died, his body gradually became softer, and his neck was slowly leaned to his back because the wound was too large, causing the wound to tear even more.

The other wounds on Xiao Hengyan's body, those that were stabbed and scratched by knives, were all caused by him before his death, but when he saw blood, it looked scary, but it was not fatal, presumably these wounds frightened Xiao Hengyan, making him mistakenly think that he would be greatly tortured, so he fainted.

"I feel even more guilty when you say that." Guan Chu shook his head and said.

Zhang Tong sighed and said, "According to the length and size of the corpse worm, as well as the degree of decay of his body, it can be roughly confirmed that Xiao Hengyan died on the night of the destruction of the Xiao Mansion, so you don't have to feel guilty." ”

Guan Chu raised his eyebrows: "Really? ”

"Something else may lie to you, I really didn't lie to you, it's about my professional ethics."

Guan Chu raised his eyebrows again: "What else are you lying to me?" ”

Zhang Tong looked at Guan Chu with an indescribable expression: "What do you have in your pig's head?" ”

"Is the pig brain as smart as me, what's the matter with you?" Guan Chu poked Zhang Tong's shoulder with his fingers, then twisted his waist and walked to the back, found a chair to sit on, and said, "Hurry up and conduct an autopsy." ”

Zhang Tong looked at him like an uncle, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Young Master Xiao was also a decent person when he was alive." Zhang Tong had words in his mouth, Guan Chu sounded a little wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

"The most serious wound on Young Master Xiao's body is also a fatal injury, that is, a knife in the neck, the perpetrator is decisive and does not hesitate, the method is generally the same as killing Zhou Xuanming, Zeng You and the Xiao family, and it can be confirmed that it was done by the same person." Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows, and from time to time he looked at Guan Chu, who was sitting in the back, with his peripheral eyes.

"This person is really ruthless, that can prove that he is not any enemy of the Xiao family, but is killing people specifically for a certain purpose or plan." Guan Chu should be peaceful.

Zhang Tong nodded, but did not speak.

He knew that purpose, but he couldn't say that Guan Chu was an outsider and shouldn't be involved.

Since the last time he flew a pigeon to send a message back to the capital, until now, no one has come to contact him, Gu Li and they will leave when they come, at first Zhang Tong thought that at least he would come to see him before leaving, but he didn't expect that people didn't think about him at all, and left with red beans, which made him depressed for a long time.

"What's the plan?" Guan Chu held his chin with one hand, squinted his eyes, and didn't know who he was asking: "What can we keep in such a remote and small place as Fan County what can they worry about?" Could it be that there are some treasures from the previous dynasty here? ”

The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes.

"What do you think? You forgot? Don't look at the small place in our Fan County, many of the civil and military officials in the capital went out from us. ”

Guan Chumao suddenly opened his mouth and patted his thigh: "You reminded me that many of the students taught by Mr. Zhou can be said to be all over the place, and isn't our adult's father also a famous imperial doctor in the capital?" ”

Zhang Tong gritted his teeth and did not pick up the stubble.

"I don't know when the adults will come back? This young master of the Xiao family can be regarded as having found it, although it is almost rotten, at least he can still recognize it, there is another one in the Zhang Mansion, how to get it? Why is this case so troublesome? Guan Chu scratched his hair.

"It should be soon." Zhang Tong seemed to be muttering to himself.

Guan Chu reacted: "Ah, what are you talking about?" That fake guy in Zhangfu, should I send someone to arrest him first? ”

"No!" Zhang Tong immediately shouted, and then found that his tone was a little anxious, and said slowly: "It's better to wait for the adults to come back, and then think about it in the long run, we don't know what the purpose of the mansion is now, you can arrange a few people to go to the outside of the Zhang Mansion to guard first." I guess that, according to the adult's thoughts, he should have noticed it a long time ago, and he must have informed the people in the house. ”

Guan Chu nodded again and again: "You're right, I'll arrange it." ”

Seeing that Guan Chu was gone, Zhang Tong turned around, looked at Xiao Hengyan's corpse lying on the coroner's bed, and thought about it, he couldn't wait for the above to give him orders, even if he risked being exposed, he had to make a move, and the other side was more ruthless every time, this time he simply wiped out the entire Xiao Mansion, just for their one purpose.

Although the young master of the Xiao family is a bad person, he is a human life in the end, and he should live in the yamen prison for the rest of his life.

Taking off his gloves, Zhang Tong covered Xiao Hengyan's body with a white cloth again, and hurriedly left the yamen.

In the Luojian Temple, Zhang Jiusheng and Yunsheng accompanied the monks in the temple to send the abbot of Chenyun to retreat.

The place where the abbot of Chenyun retreated was the place where he practiced penance, and Yun Sheng didn't expect that there was a cave behind that waterfall.

The group stood outside the waterfall, watching the abbot of the dust cloud walk into the waterfall step by step, his figure gradually becoming blurry and distorted from clear, and finally completely invisible.

There was also a stone gate behind the waterfall, and he didn't know where the dust cloud abbot had activated the mechanism, Yun Sheng only felt that the ground under his feet trembled a few times, and he couldn't hear any sound anymore.

"The abbot is in?" Yun Sheng asked softly.

The little novice who was standing on the side also replied softly: "Yes, the abbot will need three years for this retreat, and the temple will also be closed for three years because of the abbot's retreat." ”

"What? Luokanji Temple also has to follow the closed mountain gate? So what do you eat? Zhang Jiusheng was a little surprised.

The little novice smiled and folded his hands: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is enough food in the temple." ”

Immediately after, before Zhang Jiusheng could continue to say anything, another monk's voice came from behind him: "Two donors, the abbot has been in retreat, and there is no one left in the temple, please go down the mountain as well." ”

Zhang Jiusheng glanced at Yun Sheng, since everyone had already evicted the guests, they couldn't stay any longer, so they went back to their yard to tidy up their things a little, and then went down the mountain.

"This is too strange, I have never heard that the temple will be closed with the abbot in retreat." Zhang Jiusheng said, looking back at Luojian Temple, but found that the temple door had really been closed.

Yun Sheng didn't quite understand either, he only shook his head: "I don't understand either, I just think there are other things we didn't expect, such as ......"

"For example?"

Suddenly, Yun Sheng's frowning eyebrows relaxed, she stopped, looked back at the closed mountain gate, and muttered: "For example, the abbot guessed that the monks in the temple would be calaminated because he told us those things, so he chose to retreat, and it is very likely that there is not a single monk in the temple now." ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jiusheng raised his leg and was about to go up the mountain, but was dragged by Yun Sheng.

"We've been down for a while, it's not appropriate to go back now, and the abbot is so painstaking, we shouldn't let those innocent monks suffer because of selfishness, let's go."

Zhang Jiusheng thought that this was indeed the case, pulled Yun Sheng up, bent down and put her on his back, and without waiting for Yun Sheng to struggle, he said: "You are walking too slowly, I will run down the mountain with you on my back, and we will go back to Fan County first." ”
