Chapter 408: Digging the Heart

Ding Xiang looked at the corpses that were moved out of the cave with a pale face, early this morning, they found the cave according to the direction Jiang Yingxue said, entered the cave, and carried out all the female corpses inside, and the air was neutral with the stench of rotten flesh.

Mr. Han, who was dressed in a white shirt, looked at the corpses placed on the ground, and his face was a little heavy, and when he brought out the corpses in the cave, there were as many as thirty people!

"What kind of madman did such a thing!"

Mr. Han checked the situation of the female corpses one by one, some of the corpses had turned into white bones, and some of them seemed to have just died, and the corpses had just begun to turn black and smelly.

"These corpses are basically girls between fifteen and twenty years old, and this is the one that has died the longest." Mr. Han pointed to a pair of bones. "Judging by the bones of the corpse and the environment of the burrow, the corpse is at least two years old."

Mr. Han stood up as he spoke, and pointed to the female corpse at Ding Xiang's feet, which had just begun to decompose. "That body should be no more than seven years old."

"How did they all die?"

Mr. Han pulled open the placket of the female corpse that had just begun to decompose and examined it. "Judging from this female corpse, there are no obvious injuries on the corpse, but her corpse exudes another stench other than the smell of corpses, and I suspect that she should have died of poisoning."

"This matter is not trivial, I will send a message to the prince immediately." So many female corpses were found in the suburbs of Beijing at once, and in order not to cause panic among the people, this matter must not be spread.

"Wrap up all the corpses and bring them back to the city."

"Yes."

But there is no impermeable wall in this world, and the news that the guards of the Zhan Wangfu found the corpses of thirty young girls on the outskirts of Beijing soon spread in Bianjing City.

When Emperor Shangzong found out, he summoned Su Yuchen into the palace as soon as possible.

"What the hell is going on? Aren't those missing girls before persecuted by the remnants of the Qingyu Sect! Why are there so many women's corpses now?! ”

"Wechen is sending someone to investigate thoroughly."

Emperor Shangzong stood up irritably and paced back and forth in the study. "Now the entire Bianjing City is panicked, as well as those envoys, the martial arts fight is over, one by one still relying on me Bianjing I don't know what to do, could it be that the remnants of the Qingyu Sect have not been completely exterminated? It really hurts my brain! This case must be investigated by me, and this time, I will not allow any further mistakes! ”

"Yes."

As soon as Su Yuchen walked out of the imperial study, Baili Cheng came to him.

"King Zhan."

Su Yuchen's footsteps paused slightly, and there was no extra emotion on his face. "The Great Prince."

"The main hall heard that the guards of the king of Zhan had found the bodies of thirty women on the outskirts of Beijing...... It's not small. Baili Cheng walked up to Su Yuchen and looked at Su Yuchen with an uncertain expression.

"It's not small."

Baili Cheng glanced at the imperial study. "It seems that my father and the emperor of Zhan entered the palace to ask King Zhan to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I think it is also, King Zhan is not only brave and invincible on the battlefield, but even what this criminal department should do, he is also very proficient." These words are full of sourness.

"The emperor's order is difficult to disobey, farewell."

"You!" Baili Cheng glared at Su Yuchen, and then turned around fiercely and went to the door of the imperial study.

"Your Highness, Your Highness asks to see you."

Emperor Shangzong was upset and ready to fiddle with his love lock, and when he heard the voice of the palace people's announcement, he was even more irritable, but he still put the lock in his hand and returned to the dragon chair to sit down. "Let him in."

"Yes."

Bai Li Cheng walked into the study. "See Father."

"Okay, come here, what's the matter?" Emperor Shangzong didn't even bother to grind his mouth.

"Father, those thirty female corpses ......"

"I have already asked Yu Chen to investigate this matter."

Baili Cheng was angry when he saw Emperor Shangzong's look of completely trusting Su Yuchen, not long ago, Su Yuchen slapped Emperor Shangzong in the face in public in the main hall, and completely refused to recognize his marriage, not only did he not punish Su Yuchen, but also directly exposed this matter, and those who didn't know thought that Su Yuchen was the emperor!

"Father's matter is a big matter, although the king of Zhan is heroic, but he has been fighting abroad all the year round, and he may be a little rusty about some things......"

Emperor Shangzong interrupted him. "Are you saying that Yu Chen can't find out the real murderer?"

"Father, the son just thinks that this matter is so big now, it is best to find the murderer in the shortest possible time, otherwise it will have a great impact on the prestige of Great Xia!"

Emperor Shangzong was silent when he heard this. "Well, you're right."

Baili Cheng saw that Emperor Shangzong listened to it, and said busily: "Erchen wants to share his father's worries, and there are some details that King Zhan may not be able to worry about. ”

"You mean, you're going to look into this case too?"

"Erchen wants to share his father's worries."

"Well, that's it, I see that you have a sincere heart, then you will follow Yu Chen to investigate, and you must find the real murderer in the shortest possible time, understand?"

Baili Cheng saw that Emperor Shangzong agreed, and his heart was happy. "Thank you, Father." If he can find the real culprit before Su Yuchen, it will be a great achievement! When the time comes, he will trample Su Yuchen under his feet and see how arrogant he is!

On the street of Bianjing City, Jiang Yingxue was sitting in the wing room of the restaurant, looking at the elegant seat of the teahouse across the street through the window of the wing room, Bai Linghan was talking to the envoys of Nayu Kingdom.

"This Bai Linghan, all day long is either drinking tea and enjoying the scenery or eating and drinking, according to the end of this martial arts, he can leave to return to Nayu Country after finalizing the marriage with the emperor, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, you say, how can this emperor be so relaxed."

It's no wonder that Jiang Yingxue has such feelings, after all, Emperor Shangzong doesn't just drill in the keyhole every day, looking crazy about pursuing dreams, where is a bit of an emperor.

"Yes, I heard that Nayu is in turmoil in the country, isn't this Nayu monarch afraid that he will be robbed of the throne during the Great Xia?"

"Miss."

While thinking, the door of the wing room was pushed open, and the second junior high school walked in quickly.

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. Han has already found out the cause of death of those women."

Jiang Yingxue raised her chopsticks and paused. "Found out?"

"Yes."

"Let's go, let's see."

After Ding Xiang pulled the corpses back, he put them in Yizhuang for people to guard.

In the Great Xia Kingdom, there is no standardized place to place the corpses, and generally the capital of murders and unclaimed corpses will be placed in Yizhuang.

As soon as Jiang Yingxue left, Bai Linghan put down the teacup in his hand and glanced at the room where she was just now.

Yizhuang was a little far away from the city, and when Jiang Yingxue arrived there, it was already half an hour later.

Yizhuang used to be a small temple, but as the incense faded, it gradually fell into disuse, and then it was used by the imperial court to place the body.

When Jiang Yingxue arrived, Su Yuchen also turned over and dismounted.

"Lord Wang."

Su Yuchen nodded, and the two walked into Yizhuang together.

Even during the day, the interior of Yizhuang was gloomy and gloomy, with dozens of wooden planks placed inside, on which were all corpses brought back from burrows in the ground.

"Can you find out the missing girl in the past two or three years?"

"After investigation, the cases of missing girls in the past five years have been revealed, and there are as many as 100 people, and 50 people have been excluded from age and conditions." But it is not easy for the remaining dozens of people to investigate.

Mr. Han stood up from the corpse. "There are only a few of these corpses that can see their faces clearly, and it is very difficult for relatives to identify them, especially those who have turned into white bones."

"How many corpses have been found to have died?"

"These eight bodies that are corrupting have been identified, they are all poisoned to death, this has been almost corrupted is a kind of poison similar to the crane top red, this poison is a kind of miasma on the moor, judging from the extent to which the corpse remains are eroded by poison, they were poured into a large amount of miasma and tortured to death, and the rest of these ...... The cause of death could not be determined for a while. ”

Some of the remaining twenty-two bodies have become piles of bones, some have decomposed beyond recognition, and it will take some time to find out the cause of death.

"This corpse is special." Jiang Yingxue walked to a dried corpse placed next to it, this female corpse was different from the corpse next to her, she was a dried corpse.

Hearing this, Mr. Han walked over and squatted down next to the dried corpse. "Yes, I'm going to look at the corpse."

The clothes on the dried corpse had been weathered, and there was little to no cover.

"The prince doesn't feel a little strange when he looks at the corpse here."

Su Yuchen glanced at the corpse and turned to look at Jiang Yingxue. "It's so clean."

Jiang Yingxue nodded. "Yes, these unrecognizable corpses are so clean that there is nothing to identify them on them, except for the dresses that are completely unrecognizable."

Hairpins, bracelets, none of these jewelry, even if it is a girl from an ordinary family, there is always a wooden hairpin.

"Is the murderer afraid that the identities of these dead people will be found out?"

"Quite possibly."

"Strange ......"

"What did Mr. Han find?"

"There is a knife wound on the chest of this dry corpse, and looking at the external position of this wound, it happens to be outside the heart." Mr. Han used a dagger to open the chest of the dried corpse.

"Mr. Han, let's see if there is an incision here." Jiang Yingxue stretched out her finger and pointed to a certain place in her chest.

Hearing this, Mr. Han leaned over and checked it out. "It's the heart, the heart has been poached."

"Mr. Han is saying that the heart of this corpse was gouged out?"

Mr. Han nodded. "Yes, the other organs are still faintly visible, but the heart is gone."

"If you want to gouge out the heart, you must cut off the ribs in the chest...... Jiang Yingxue stood up abruptly to check the corpses that had turned into a pile of white bones.

Upon examination, it was found that the ribs of the chest cavity of the corpses were broken.

"It's all dug out."

Jiang Yingxue's brows gradually twisted into one place. "The murderer dug out the hearts of the previous women, but why did these girls after him poison them to death?"

"Lord Wang, the eldest prince is here."

While speaking, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and soon, a group of people walked outside Yizhuang with a grin.
