Most of these bones still have soft tissue, not just white bones, so they look horrible, especially some of the skulls still have hair, and the skin and flesh have not all fallen off, and I feel sick to my stomach when I see the late green.

After a long time, Wan Lu stabilized his emotions, quietly glanced at Liu Tingshi, and saw him frowning, standing in the corner with a disgusted face, and his heart rushed up angrily, and said in his heart, you are also disgusting, and you also pulled our lady to identify it

But angry is angry, she didn't have the impulse to get angry at Liu Tingshi, she grabbed a pair of gloves from the official next to her, put them on quickly, and squatted to Ran Yan's side, "Lady, do you want to identify this?" Slaves and maids come and share"

Ran Yan was observing the degree of tooth run-in of a skull, and when she heard the slightly angry voice of the evening green, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, slightly bent the corners of her lips, turned the skull back, and said, "There is a cartilage at the junction between the body of the sphenoid bone and the bottom of the occipital bone before adulthood, called the basal suture, and the healing of this gap is at the age of 21 to 23. After the age of forty, this gap disappears completely. ”

Ran Yan pointed out the gap to Wan Lu, "Look at this, it heals well, but it hasn't disappeared, which means that it is at least over 21 years old, under forty years old, and then it can be inferred based on the degree of wear and tear of the teeth." ”

Although she has been explaining, Ran Yan has never really asked Wanlu to tell the difference, she just thinks that Wanlu is not small and has great potential.

"Abrasion refers to the gradual wear and tear of the tips and biting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth during the growth phase of the teeth." Ran Yan pushed away the skull jaw of his hand, so that Wan Lu could carefully see the lateral surface of the teeth, "For example, the teeth of this skull, most of the tooth tips are abrasive, and the dentin is punctate, that is, you can see a point on the lateral surface of the teeth, which is the dentin exposed after the surface of the tooth is ground off, we can judge that the age of this skull is about 36 to 45 years old." ”

Late Greenway, "What about this skull, that is, 36 to 40 years old?" ”

"Nope." Ran Yan nodded with satisfaction and continued to check the healing of other parts of the skull, "When you find the other bones, you can narrow the age range error to two years old." ”

Feng Sanshi saw that Ran Yan was narrowing the age range step by step, so he also made up, "What if the teeth are not worn, or worn too much?" ”

Ran Yan didn't hide it either, while distinguishing the skull, he explained according to the different circumstances of each skull, "If you want to understand it thoroughly, you must first understand the internal structure of the teeth, and you can open the teeth to observe." In general, we divide tooth wear into grades, the first stage is a slight wear of the tip and edge of the cusp, which occurs at about 15 to 25 years of age, and the second level is when the cusp is ground or the occlusal surface is depressed, which occurs between 26 and 35 years of age......"

As Ran Yan spoke, he quickly threw aside all the broken bones that had been eliminated.

The bones were not irregular, as they were originally wrapped in mats, and fortunately, the soft tissues did not disappear completely, so that many bones were connected by them.

The two age-appropriate female corpses gradually joined together under Ran Yan's hands.

Liu Pinrang's brows relaxed slightly, and suddenly a team outside was running, and said to Liu Pinrang, "Assassin Shi, my subordinates were ordered to arrest Yin Sanniang, and searched in the Yin Mansion for two moments, but no one was found, and no one in the Yin Mansion knew his whereabouts."

"Missing?" Liu Pinrang's brows that had just been loosened furrowed again, "Pass my order, and the whole city will search for it"

"Wait." Ran Yan stood up and said, "Liu Tingshi might as well send more people on the banks of the Pingjiang River." ”

Liu Pinrang immediately linked this matter to Yin Wanwan's death, and ordered, "Send half of the people to Pingjianghe, the official will go in person, and the court trial will be postponed for one day."

Ran Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the two female corpses, and suddenly raised his steps to catch up with Liu Pinrang, "Liu Tingshi, let's go with me too, maybe I can help narrow down the scope." ”

The Pingjiang River is more than five miles long, even if all the soldiers in the entire Suzhou City are sent, it will take a few hours, Liu Pinrang kept walking, nodded without thinking, "Okay." ”

Ran Yan and Wanlu followed Liu Pinrang to the stable quickly, and when they turned the intersection, they happened to meet several officials pressing a year, whose hands and feet were chained, but the clothes on their bodies were still neat and decent, and their sideburns were not messy at all, with faint eyebrows and eyes, such as ink smeared by smoke and rain, slender waists, such as weak wind supporting willows, white cicada wing gauze jackets, light gray skirts, the whole person seemed to be walking in the bluestone alleys of Suzhou on a rainy day, gentle to the extreme, quiet to the extreme.

The woman saw Ran Yan pause, raised her eyes slightly, bowed slightly at Ran Yan, and then turned away calmly, as if the dozen catties of iron chains under her feet were just decorations.

"Wei Niang." Ran Yan had never seen her, but the moment he saw her, he was sure that it must be Wei Niang.

Wei Niang paused, turned sideways slightly, and said lightly, "You are Ran Seventeen Niang, fortunately." ”

Such an elegant demeanor that seems to come out of an ink painting, saying that she killed someone, if there is not enough evidence, it is really difficult to be convincing.

But Ran Yan noticed a problem, Wei Niang had never paid attention to Wan Lu at all, if it was indeed her who conspired with Cui Mei at that time, she would not have completely failed to know Wan Lu anyway

"Cui Mei ......" While Ran Yan said this name, she saw Wei Niang's body stiffen slightly, and then said, "She is you?" ”

Wei Niang slowly closed her eyes, her lips slightly opened, "Daughter, she is my daughter." ”

When the last two words were spoken, Wei Niang's body tensed, her voice trembled, she eased her breath for two breaths, and then returned to normal, turned to look at Ran Yan, and said with a slight smile, "Can I ask you for one thing and not skip words."

"You say." Ran Yan said.

Wei Niang walked slowly, stood in front of Ran Yan, gently held her hand, and said, "When I die, spend two taels of silver, please help me bury the corpse and bury me and Cuimei together." I think you might need that. ”

The last sentence was inexplicable to others. Wei Niang bowed to Ran Yan gracefully, turned around and walked away quickly.

Ran Yan tightened her hand and warmed the paper with a little sweat stains, and said to her back, "I'll help you." ”

Because Wei Niang was delayed for a while, Ran Yan stuffed Wei Niang into his sleeve pocket and led Wanlu to walk away in a hurry.

Naturally, the arrest of criminals can't take a slow ride in a carriage, but fortunately, Ran Yan used to go to the horse farm and take horseback riding as leisure. Before Liu Tingshi could ask, Ran Yan took the horsewhip from the officer, turned over on the horse, and pulled Wanlu up again.

Ran Yan ignored the surprise on Wan Lu's face and said, "Hold me." ”

Wan Lu hugged Ran Yan's slender waist according to his words, and at that moment, Ran Yan waved his horsewhip, and with a snap, the horse ran slowly a few steps, and then rushed out like a gust of wind.

Dust rose on the ground, and a cadre of government soldiers and officials looked at the shadow that was getting farther and farther away.

Liu Pinrang was also a little surprised, but he couldn't let him think about it, so he immediately whipped up and rushed up.

The horses galloped, and Ran Yan almost arrived at the river with Yang Yong, the army of the government.

Ran Yan immediately carried two people Yang Yong alone can catch up, he glanced at Ran Yan with admiration, and was stunned, this is the first time he can see Ran Yan's appearance clearly, under the morning light, a slight sweat appeared on Ruyu's face, making his fair face more and more crystal clear. Yang Yong has also heard a lot of rumors in the past few days, but the delicate and beautiful face in front of him really makes people can't imagine what kind of expression she should have when she holds a knife to dissect the corpse.

Ran Yan and Wan Lu had just dismounted, and Liu Pinrang and others had already arrived.

This is the willow embankment where Yin Miao and Qin Shilang were on the night of Qixi Festival. During the day, it seems that the willow branches here are rising, the water is clear and the sky is blue, and the grass by the river embankment blooms a few delicate flowers sporadically, but it is a rare beauty.

Evening Green rode a horse for the first time, and his face was a little pale, and he ran to the side to hold on to the trunk of the tree, gasping for breath.

Liu Pinrang looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Seventeen Niang, why are you here?" ”

Ran Yan just wanted to explain, but heard Wan Lu exclaim, "Lady, there is blood"

Liu Pinrang and the rest of the people immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked away quickly.

Ran Yan also followed the evening green point, there was a pool of blood under the grass, and it flowed into the river along the slope of the embankment, and at the junction of the water and the bank, curled flowers snaked out.

Liu Pinrang immediately ordered someone to go down to check, and after a while, a voice came from below, "Assassination history, there is no one below, but there are traces of drag next to the bloodstains." ”

"Could it be a sunken corpse?" Liu Pinrang thought of Yin Wanwan's sunk corpse, and immediately said.

Ran Yan slid down the grass to the bottom of the embankment, and personally watched the dragged blood stain, about half a zhang long, obviously dragged some distance from the edge of the embankment, and the blood stain did not extend to the river, only half of it broke off.

Since it is necessary to drag to be able to move the human body, in order to drag halfway, the traces disappear? This should not be the case, whether it is the sinking of the corpse or the transfer of the corpse.

Liu Pinrang ordered the soldiers to search within a radius of one mile on the embankment, and personally came down to check the bloodstains. He is also anxious, seeing that this case is about to find the head, since there are suspects, witnesses, and some evidence, there is only one step away from the truth, but now many mysteries have not been solved, the suspect has disappeared, and it seems that he may still be murdered

Isn't it like Wei Niang said, Yin Miao is not the mastermind?

Liu Pin was anxious, he looked at the half-zhang long bloodstains, exhaled deeply, calmed the anxiety and confusion in his heart, and carefully observed the other bloodstains on the river embankment.

"Yin Sanniang won't have an accident, right? There are no less words "Late Greenway."

Ran Yan stared at the bloodstains of the water, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.

"Evening Green, what is my relationship with Yin Miao?" Ran Yan muttered.

Wan Lu lowered her voice and said, "Is it difficult for the lady to do it, you want to protect her?" ”

"Just answer me." Ran Yan frowned.

Evening Green hesitated for a long time and said, "In addition to getting along well with Yin Siniang, the lady has a general friendship with other ladies." ”

Yes By].
