Chapter 47: White Bones

readx;? After coming out of the Song Mansion, Yang Jing braved the sun and rushed to this courtyard of Zhou Wenfang, since Song Fengya decided to be Yang Jing's follower, he did not fall behind, and the handsome young man Xu Fengwu should be Song Fengya's personal guard, so he followed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Because Yang Zhixian is still waiting for the paperwork, Yang Jing has not officially taken office, and he also needs time to go back to Lujia Miao Village, the old man has a nurturing grace for Yun Gouer after all, and Yang Jing doesn't want to say goodbye.

Before going to the Song Mansion for a banquet in the morning, Yang Jing asked Tang Chong to come over and coordinate the work, this place will be his home in the future, Yang Jing doesn't want to be sloppy, anyway, it's not his own money that is spent.

Although Tang Chong is silent, he is an extremely reliable person, Yang Jing also has a sense of security from the bottom of his bones, and he is thinking of leaving Tang Chong with him when he goes back to Lu's house, and when the house is repaired, he will also take over the Chen family father and son who have saved their lives.

After Yang Jing arrived at the construction site, Tang Chongzheng commanded the people to build a simple pergola on the construction site, and many workers and laborers were pointing around the pergola.

Yang Jing walked over quickly and asked Tang Chong, "Brother Tang, what's the matter?"

Tang Chong didn't answer, but looked at the pergola, Yang Jing knew that he couldn't hit a stuffy fart with three poles, so he didn't ask much, and after the laborers separated, Yang Jing walked to the bottom of the pergola.

The pergola was erected around a foundation, which was supposed to be dug up by the laborers when they dug the foundation and rebuilt the building.

Yang Jing squatted down and saw that there was a white bone half-buried in this foundation pit!

This Baling is also regarded as an important town in the south, and the barbarians and the imperial army have also waged many wars, this courtyard is not far from the city wall, and it has been newly built in the past two years, and it is normal for some bones to be underground.

It's just that Yang Jing quickly discovered the problem, because this white bone actually had three heads and six arms!

To be exact, not one, but three white bones, stacked on top of each other, it seems that the illusion of three heads and six arms has been created!

"This is a white bone pit?!!! Yang Jing couldn't help but exclaim, if it was really a white bone pit during the war, who would dare to continue to build a house here?

"The tired king called Zhang Zheng over, remember to bring a few tricks, oh yes, by the way, say hello to the magistrate, let's clean it up first. ”

Although Yang Jing has not officially taken office, he is already familiar with Wang Dou and others, and besides, who doesn't want to have a good relationship before the new governor takes office?

After Wang Dou left, Yang Jing got busy, because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to bring the physical evidence investigation box, so he had to ask the foreman for coarse cloth gloves.

But these workers are all bitter haha, they don't have to wear good clothes, who sews such things as gloves, it's not that Yang Jing is squeamish and hypocritical, although these bones seem to have been buried for a long time, but in order to protect the traces as much as possible, it is better to wear gloves.

At the critical moment, Song Fengya handed over a pair of red silk cloth gloves and said with a grin: "Use mine!"

Yang Jing was overjoyed, thanked her, put on gloves, jumped into the foundation pit, and began to carefully clean the bones.

He thought that Song Fengya had obtained the true inheritance of his father, and this glove was used to investigate the case, but he didn't know that this was Song Fengya's way of walking the rivers and lakes.

Although a pergola was erected, it was noon, the scorching sun was overhead, Yang Jing dispersed the crowd, it was still stuffy, and he soon sweated profusely.

When Wang Dou arrived with Zhang Zheng and a few servants, Yang Jing had already cleaned out the two white bones and placed them neatly on the white cloth according to the physiological direction of the human body structure.

Zhang Zheng and the others are all old men, and they also have craftsmanship, but it still took nearly two hours to clean up all the bones!

The bones on the white cloth were already lined up, and there were nine corpses!

From noon to now, Yang Jing has been sweating one after another, and I don't know how much herbal tea he drank during the period, but now he has finally cleaned it up, Zhang Zheng and others are also relieved, but Yang Jing did not rest, but squatted on the ground and carefully observed these white bones.

If these people died in the war and were buried here, then digging elsewhere should have found something, but Yang Jing quickly dismissed the idea.

Because after he took a closer look, he couldn't help but feel a chilling possibility in his heart!

Because he discovered a pattern, these nine white bones turned out to be all women, and most of them were middle-aged women!

Although the corpses were all ossified, the structure of the female pelvis was different from that of the male and was easily recognizable.

Looking at the degree of wear and tear of the teeth, combined with the growth form and stage of the bones, as well as the length ratio, it is easy to draw the inference that Yang Jing is suitable.

It would be reasonable to say that these women were all slave girls in the war years and were buried here.

However, the burial ground of these bones is relatively shallow, and according to the comprehensive factors such as the degree of decay and bone density of the bones, it is speculated that they are all newly buried bones, and the one that has been buried in the ground for the longest time has only been about a few years, and there has definitely been no war in Baling during this time!

Normally, if exposed to the air and not buried, the corpse will ossify in about two weeks under the action of maggots and putrefaction, while the buried corpse will only appear in the south for about a year and three to five years in the north.

There are also some factors to consider here, such as temperature, humidity, air and even the corpse itself, such as obese people are faster than thin people, young children are faster than old people, large trauma or burned people are faster than suffocation, and so on.

There are no coffins for these bones, the surrounding soil is not poor, and the humidity is relatively high, if it is more than ten years, the bones will have become dregs and cannot be picked up.

If it's not the bones of war, who buried all these women here?

Yang Jing pondered for a moment, then asked Wang Dou, "When was the mansion of Zhou Wenfang built?"

Wang Dou is a local head catcher, and he is very familiar with Baling, so he immediately replied: "That was two years ago... Before this house was built, it was a decades-old temple dedicated to the snake god on Baling Mountain, and later... Later, he was falsely accused by Zhou Wenfang of being an obscene temple, and after it was seized, it was bought at a low price and used to build his house. ”

After Yang Jing got the answer, he was even more sure of the guess in his heart!

Before the house was built here, it was always an old temple, so it could not have become a mass grave, and it was impossible for these women to be thrown and buried indiscriminately, that is to say, the bodies of these women were intentionally buried here!

When everyone was feeling bad for Yang Jing, Yang Jing's heart had already set off a turbulent wave, and he didn't expect that he would encounter this kind of thing at all!

If his inference is correct, these women should have been killed by him, and the murderer is the same person, that is, there is a serial murderer hiding in Baling!

However, these are all inferences of Yang Jing for the time being, and if he wants to confirm it, further evidence is needed, after all, he still has to examine these bones one by one to confirm the cause of their death.

In the process of inspection just now, Yang Jing had already found some clues, and in his opinion, it was almost conclusive, but in the eyes of these bystanders, even Zhang Zheng and others, these were just a bunch of ordinary white bones.

I don't know how many of these bones are under Baling City, they only think that Yang Jing is more unlucky, first Zhou Wenfang built a cellar here, put Cao Enzhi and others under house arrest, and then set a fire, and now that he has this manor, he dug up a bunch of white bones that poured blood and mold, which is enough to make people's hearts stop.

Song Fengya also thought the same way, but after all, she was Song Ci's daughter, and she had been keen on investigating cases in recent years, and she was more sensitive than ordinary people.

Yang Jing shook his head lightly and replied, "It's not good to say, transport these bones back to the county ya's house, and talk about it after a comprehensive inspection." ”

Yang Jing said so, Zhang Zheng and the others did not dare to be ambiguous, and hurriedly used a white cloth to collect these bones, together with some tattered clothes and ropes and other objects dug up, and put them in the carriage.

Yang Jing also instructed Tang Chong to let these workers be careful and report to the yamen as soon as they found out, so he returned to the yamen with Song Fengya and others.

Song Fengya saw that Yang Jing was so cautious, and she also noticed that these bones were really hiding a murder case, and she immediately became excited, eager to check these white bones immediately.

But Yang Jing didn't rush to the room, but came to the signing room, found the old detention director of the torture room, and asked him to gather all the scribes in the torture room!

Although Yang Jing has not officially taken office, Yang Zhixian has already said hello, and when he asked Wang Dou to come back to find a servant, he also talked to Yang Zhixian, so these scribes did not dare to slack off, and soon came to the signing room.

Yang Jing was also taken aback at first glance, but he didn't expect that there were a lot of these scribes, in addition to those who were at home on leave, there were as many as five or six people, thinking about how many people the entire county government needed to support, and where should the money come from, Yang Jing couldn't help but cry out for the people of Baling.

However, now is not the time to sigh about the world, if you can solve the case and eliminate the violence, it can be regarded as a kind of feedback to the people of Baling, so make the best use of it, and let these yamen idlers play their due value!

Thinking about it this way, Yang Jing felt much more comfortable, after all, he had not officially taken office, so he politely explained the situation, and then asked the scribes to transfer all the backlog of missing people files over the years.

When the scribes heard this, they were dumbfounded!

Although Yang Zhixian had just been handed over once when he took office, these files were also piled up, and cases of missing people were even more common, and these cases of fighting and murder were easy to handle, and even theft could be tortured into tricks, but the missing cases, if the main owner could not be found, the case could not be closed, and in the end it could only be closed, and I don't know how many cases have accumulated over the years!

Yang Jing saw that they were all embarrassed, and immediately said unhappily: "What's the matter? Could it be that this official has not taken office, so he can't call you? This little thing, do you still want me to report to the county magistrate!"

Yang Jing didn't want to fiddle with the official authority, but first, he was really eager to verify his inference, and the two didn't have much affection for these corpse vegetarian officials.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Jing was so angry, the scribes hurriedly got busy, and called for a few hands, and soon moved the files to the signing room.

Looking at the piles of small mountains of files on the desktop, Yang Jing himself was shocked, this Baling County doesn't look very big, there are so many cases of missing people?

And that's just a case of missing people, what about the others?

It seems that he has a long way to go in this criminal case!

Putting aside these thoughts in his heart, Yang Jing took a light breath and instructed: "You guys have screened and picked out all the missing cases that have not been solved in the past ten years, only missing women, and the focus is on middle-aged women, are they all clear?"

When the scribes heard this strange request, they were also confused, but fortunately, the officials were not untargeted, and the workload was reduced a lot, and they didn't dare to complain too much, so they began to work one after another, and a room of dust soon rose in the signing room...

Seeing this, Yang Jing nodded with satisfaction, and then returned to his residence, took the physical evidence investigation box, and then went to the house to meet Song Fengya and began a comprehensive evidence collection work.
