Nature is a very delicate thing, sometimes time passes slower than anything else, and sometimes it passes faster than a speeding horse. The old people feel that time moves faster than anything else, and really wish that time goes slower. Children feel that time flies too slowly, and they want to grow up early and do something they want to do. Men and women in love feel that time is too fast, too late to taste, and it is time to leave temporarily, when the two are not together, they feel that time is so slow, and hope to pass quickly and meet their lovers as soon as possible.

Zhan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Lingzi waited outside, and it was one night. The sky was gradually brightening, and they wanted to remind Qin Tai to go back, it would not be good if the villager found out.

Qin Tai held the doll in his hand and sat facing the totem for a long time. After Zhan Xiaoxiao came, he woke him up and put the doll back in its place, and then turned around and left.

On the way back, Qin Tai was still a little distraught, and Xiao Lingzi and Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't say much.

When he came to the village, Li Li was already walking around in a hurry, and he was relieved to see Qin Tai and them returning. Li Li, who knew the rules, didn't complain about Qin Tai and them, let alone inquire where they went. This is the difference between the upper and lower levels, and in the military, the lower ranks cannot interfere in any behavior of the superiors.

After Qin Tai returned to the room, he gave Li Lihe an order to come to the town again. Li Li was watching, and Li Zheng led people to go door-to-door to register the information of all the villagers. Anything suspicious, or unclear, should be arrested.

Qin Tai took another group of men and horses to the Wang family cemetery to dig up the bones of Wang Tianbao's corpse.

Qin Tai led people to the cemetery, first sprinkled the liquor he brought on Wang Tianbao's grave, and let the liquor flow into the grave. The soldiers on one side didn't know the reason for doing this, but Xiao Lingzi and Zhan Xiaoxiao knew that there were two reasons for doing this, first, after the body was buried, there would be lesions, and there would be a disease-causing plague in the grave. Therefore, some diggers, if not handled properly, will get sick and die. The liquor removes odors and eliminates filth, making it easy to view corpses. Second, by sprinkling the ground with white wine, you can check whether the grave has been damaged or turned. These Song Dynasty Song Ci's "Records of Clearing Grievances" are clearly recorded as necessary means and steps for inspecting graves.

After the liquor had completely penetrated, Xiao Lingzi looked at it carefully and nodded to Qin Tai. Indicates that the tomb is intact and has not been destroyed or excavated since it was established.

Qin Tai gave the order, and several soldiers began to dig the grave. Soon the tomb was opened, because Wang Tianbao died suddenly, and the family did not prepare a coffin. Besides, the economic conditions of Wang Tianbao's family are not good, so when Wang Tianbao was buried, he did not use a coffin. In the tomb, Wang Tianbao had a straw mat under him, a straw mat on his body, and a relatively clean clothes on his body.

Qin Tai looked at Xiao Lingzi, who skillfully took out a large handful of incense and lit the incense that surrounded Wang Tianbao's corpse. This is to remove the smell and filth from the corpse, and at the same time to repel snakes, insects, rats and ants from the corpse.

At this time, Qin Tai also prepared himself, and with the help of Zhan Xiaoxiao, Qin Tai first sprayed spirits all over his body, which was regarded as disinfection. Then put on work clothes made of white cloth and wear thick gloves. Prevent germs from coming into direct contact with the body and skin of the coroner. Every soldier and everyone present should take a piece of ginger, the purpose is to stop vomiting and wake up the mind, and it is also a good way to get rid of one person in the body.

Zhan Xiaoxiao on one side also prepared some tools, such as scalpels for dissection, medicines, and bottles and jars for evidence. Zhan Xiaoxiao also prepared a pen and paper, every time the body was examined, Zhan Xiaoxiao was the recorder, she not only had to record every word Qin Tai said, but also to draw the physical characteristics of the deceased. Although this work is troublesome and cumbersome, it is better than Xiao Lingzi and Qin Tai having to contact the dead body. Qin Tai and Xiao Lingzi had already learned from their uncle Qiu Min, and the whole set of procedures for inspecting corpses. The first time Zhan Xiaoxiao helped, Zhan Xiaoxiao saw the dead body vomit for three hours. Not only did she not be able to help, but she also asked Qin Tai and them to take care of her. But Zhan Xiaoxiao is much better now, at least he won't want to vomit when he sees the corpse. You can also do some auxiliary tasks within your ability.

Xiao Lingzi helped Qin Tai clean up Wang Tianbao's body, Wang Tianbao had been buried for more than a year and nearly two years, not only his body was seriously decomposed, but also began to be moth-eaten. This disgusting look really made the soldiers on the side take a good look. The payoff is a whole lot of vomit. These soldiers, who have been on the battlefield and are used to seeing dead people, can't help it. But Qin Tai, who seemed to be weak in Wenwen, dealt with the work at hand one by one. Zhan Xiaoxiao had already found a trick, as long as he put all his mind on the investigation of the case and ignored the nausea of the corpse, he would not vomit. It's a big deal to wait until everything is done, and then vomit again.

Half a day later, the soldiers who had inspected Wang Tianbao's body and Qin Tai returned to the village. At this time, it was just time for lunch, and Li Li and the others were having lunch. Qin Tai and Xiao Lingzi ate expressionlessly, and Zhan Xiaoxiao also looked at the food on the table, and insisted on sitting down to eat. But none of the soldiers who went to the scene together dared to look at the food on the table. They also didn't have the appetite to eat, and they were preoccupied with what the corpse looked like. I guess they don't even have the appetite for dinner, and it's already remarkable that they don't vomit.

Qin Tai said, "Let's eat together. There are other things to do in the afternoon. If you don't eat, how can you have the strength to do things? It's just a corpse. Nothing to be afraid of. We're used to it, and it's disgusting, but they won't hurt you, and they won't hurt you like enemies. ”

Li Li also widened his eyes and said, "Now, let's eat together." This is my order, it is a military order. ”

The soldiers had no choice but to pick up their rice bowls and eat, but soon vomited the food they had eaten.

Li Li looked at Qin Tai gloomily, but Qin Tai said, "It doesn't matter. Spit up a few times and get used to it. ”

For the good of the soldiers, Li Li sent another group of soldiers to follow Qin Tai to work in the afternoon. The original group of soldiers had a good rest and eased their momentum and strength as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, I went to the Wang family's cemetery to dig up the corpses, but instead of digging up Wang Tianbao's corpses, I exhumed the bodies of other villagers. Thankfully, these people had been reduced to bones, so not too many of them vomited like the soldiers in the morning. But the bones were too much, and the soldiers also had a little numbness. They looked at Qin Tai and their bones one by one, turned them over and erected them again, and really had a different understanding of Qin Tai and them.

All excavations were completed, and the reburial was done after the inspection. It was late enough that everyone returned to Shangwang Village. Qin Tai and Zhan Xiaoxiao helped Xiao Lingzi burn all the used white cloth clothes and gloves so as not to bring the germs back to the village.

After dinner, all the soldiers rested. Qin Tai sat at the table in his room, looking through all the records. Zhan Xiaoxiao and Xiao Lingzi were also on the side, waiting for Qin Tai's inquiry at any time and helping Qin Tai recall the process.

"The deceased Wang Tianbao is five feet eight inches tall. The corpse was badly decomposed, and the skin was unrecognizable. The hands and feet are complete, and they are not hurt. The trunk is normal with no external scars. The skull is intact and there are no signs of external impact. There is an old wound on the tail finger of the left hand, which should be seven to ten years old depending on the scar. It was caused by the deceased during his lifetime. The knuckles of the right hand are relatively thick, which is suspected to be caused by the use of the right hand before death. The internal organs and bones are blue-black, suspected to be caused by poisoning. Long-term use of a ******** or poisonous food is not excluded. It was preliminarily concluded that the deceased died of poisoning. However, it cannot be ruled out that artificial persecution forced Wang Tianbao to take poison. ”

Qin Tai looked at this report and didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Lingzi was on the side helping Qin Tai sort out the information of the other bones. Originally, he didn't want to inspect them, but Qin Tai temporarily decided to check the bones of these people, so they made a move.

Qin Tai came back to his senses for a long time and said to Xiao Lingzi, "Have you sorted it out?" Did you find anything? ”

Xiao Lingzi looked at Zhan Xiaoxiao on the side and said, "Young Master, no, my lord." I have a batch in my hand, and a batch in the hand of Zhan Daxia. Although they are all dead in the royal cemetery, their body shapes and bones are very different. You see, the batch I have in my hands is relatively tall, and it seems to be a normal northerner. The other group, although the bones are large, are relatively short. It's not like a northerner, it's like a southerner. My lord, do you remember the Fujianese we checked together? I always felt that they were a bit like the Hokkien people. My uncle taught us that human bones come from parents, which is the best proof that parents inherit them to their children. The general inheritance of bones is three to seven generations, and there are more than ten generations. Bones are not only inherited from ancestors, but also change with the environment and climate. I always felt that there was a fundamental difference between the two groups of people. ”

Qin Tai took the information and compared it back and forth, but didn't say anything right away.

Xiao Lingzi looked at the sky outside and said to Zhan Xiaoxin: "Zhan Daxia, you go and rest first." I'll let you know if there's anything going on. Young master, if you think about it like this, it is estimated that you will not wake up in an hour or two. It's good for me to look at it here. Go and rest. ”

Zhan nodded slightly, she was really a little tired. From yesterday to now, she hasn't closed her eyes, and she is really tired. Now she's wounded and really needs to recover. She turned around and went back to her room, anyway, there was Xiao Lingzi here, and she would notify herself as soon as there was anything.

After Zhan Xiaoxiao returned to the room, Xiao Lingzi closed the door, and after looking at Qin Tai, who was still thinking about things, he found a place to the side and fell asleep against the wall.
