readx;? Chen Chao's father and son were finally persuaded by Yang Jing, and while the father and son were packing up their things, Yang Jing came to the backyard and dug up the things buried in the vegetable field. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

This is the clothes he wore before he fell into the water, which Lu Yueniang deliberately put on him in order to escape, and there were some copper coins and banknotes in it, and the rest was the jade pendant.

At the beginning, Yun Gou'er mixed into the team of boatmen, because she was afraid that Lu Yueniang would suffer a loss, but she didn't expect to kill the scholar, but Lu Yueniang pretended to be a substitute ghost.

It is said that Lu Yueniang should have been in a hurry to put this dress on him, and besides, she seemed to have been sure that Yun Gou'er would die on the sunken ship, so it was impossible to give such a precious jade pendant to Yun Gou'er along with the clothes.

Then this jade pendant should be Yun Gou'er's own thing.

Yang Jing carefully rubbed this jade pendant, it was a piece of fine topaz, warm and transparent, and the slightest blood line was faintly visible, it should be an old object that had been worn with him for many years.

Yun Gou'er sent people under the fence, this jade pendant is the style of the Han people, I think it should be Yun Gou'er's personal thing, it has nothing to do with his life experience.

However, Yang Jing has decided to start a new life, and before leaving, Old Man Lu did not say a word about his life experience, indicating that there is no safety problem in his independent life, otherwise Old Man Lu will definitely tell Yang Jing about his life experience.

Since even the old man Lu was at ease with himself, Yang Jing would not dig into Yun Gou'er's life experience for the time being, put away the jade pendant, returned to the front yard, and Tang Chong helped put everything in a broken ox cart of the Chen family, and pulled it in the direction of Baling.

Because he was worried that Chen Chao would not be able to stand the bumps, the speed slowed down, and after arriving in Baling, it was already night, and the city gate had been closed.

Yang Jing has not yet taken office, and the person guarding the city gate is the county lieutenant, so the people guarding the city do not recognize him, although he has indicated his identity, it is obviously impossible to open the city gate.

Yang Jing didn't want to break the rules, and was about to find a place to stay outside the city, when an archer in the city seemed to recognize Yang Jing, so he reminded Yang Jing that the south city gate was being repaired in the past few days, and although there were defenders at night, the city gate could not be closed, and he should be able to enter.

Yang Jing was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he drove to the south city gate.

He had also heard about it in the yamen before, it is said that the situation in the north is very tense, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River are stepping up armaments and repairing city defenses, Baling also repaired the city wall last year, but he didn't expect to continue to repair it now, Yang Jing was worried about Chen Chao's illness, and he didn't think of this stubble for a while.

After arriving at the south gate, several fires were set up there, illuminating the surroundings, and some of the officers and soldiers and foremen guarding the fire were drinking and eating by the fire, while the laborers were rushing to work all night.

Yang Jing learned to be obedient this time, and did not reveal his identity again, but stuffed some silver coins, and when those defenders refused to be accommodating, he explained that he was about to take up the criminal case.

The people of this county lieutenant also often deal with the yamen, and when they heard that the transfer department and the criminal department will also send people down to inspect, it is inevitable that they will take care of each other when the time comes, these defenders immediately changed their faces, and said that they would leave Yang Jing to eat something together.

Yang Jing was still in a hurry to see Chen Chao, where did he still have the heart to stay here, the defender Xiaoqi saw this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Tui, you see that this uncle has such a bad complexion, he has been running around for a day, let's eat something and leave, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it..."

When Yang Jing heard this, he carried Chen Chao off the car and helped him sit on the edge of the fire.

These defenders and foremen are not big figures, they are naturally polite to Yang Jing, Chen Chao can't drink wine, so he brought him a bowl of broth, the Chen family father and son have not known the taste of meat for a long time, and this meal is also very comfortable.

Yang Jing is a guy who respects me for three points, and I am also a guy with ten points, three bowls of wine, his face is also red, although he doesn't talk much, but he drinks wine when he has it, and he cheers if he says it funny, he is a person who has no shelf, and the atmosphere has become very harmonious.

After eating and drinking, Yang Jing left some money for these people, they naturally didn't want it, but they couldn't resist Yang Jing, so they accepted it.

Yang Jing put Chen Chao on his back and was about to leave, the defenders and foremen were still a little reluctant, and they got up to see them off, Yang Jing asked their names again, and then left with his fists in his hands.

But at this moment, a scream suddenly came from the city, and the laborers who had missed the night construction started to commotion!

"What's the matter!" the little school guarding the city looked displeased, and the foreman hurriedly waited for the head of the city, and it didn't take long for him to roll down with weakness under his feet!

"Big... My lord... Let's go up and see for yourself!"

Seeing this, Yang Jing didn't want to disturb the school, so he said goodbye to him and drove away.

After walking less than half a mile, the junior colonel named Lu Ting'an chased after him again, panting and anxious: "Lord Tui, this matter... I'll have to trouble you to take a look at this..."

Yang Jing was also puzzled, but Lu Tingan looked anxious, the so-called cannibalism is soft-mouthed, and he couldn't refuse, so he asked Tang Chong to take the Chen family father and son home first, and he followed Lu Tingan back to the city gate.

The laborers and defenders at the city gate had already retreated to the bottom, and when they saw Lu Ting'an coming back with Yang Jing, the discussion became much quieter.

Yang Jing was confused, and Lu Tingan didn't say much along the way, just said that he would let Yang Jing take a look.

After climbing the city tower, Yang Jing's wine also broke out with cold sweat!

But I saw that the sandwich wall of this city tower had been broken through a small opening, and a few sallow-yellow arms were hanging at the entrance of the cave, and several ant roads had begun to appear around, and I didn't know how many corpses were sealed in the sandwich wall!

"Torch!"

Yang Jing said in a deep voice, Lu Ting'an hurriedly handed over a torch, Yang Jing held the torch and took a closer look, these corpses have begun to decompose, but because they are sealed in the wall, they are well sealed and preserved quite completely.

Yang Jing didn't care about wearing gloves, and when he lifted his clothes, he saw that the corpse had already waxed.

The so-called corpse wax is a special corpse phenomenon, which needs to meet several conditions to form.

One is that the fat content of the corpse should be higher, otherwise it is difficult to form corpse wax, because corpse wax is a gray-white waxy substance formed by the decomposition of subcutaneous fat of the corpse into glycerol and fatty acids, and then combined with trace elements such as calcium and magnesium.

In addition, the storage environment of the corpse also has requirements, such as soaking in water for a long time, or in a humid sealed space before it can be formed, and the corpse wax is generally partially formed, and the whole body corpse wax is actually rare.

Cadaver wax can preserve some scars on the corpse for a long time, or tie grooves, and even physiological and pathological features such as goosebumps can be completely preserved, and has high forensic value.

If it is an adult corpse, it generally takes about a year to a year and a half to fully form, and it will take at least six or seven months for some corpse wax.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything, and corpse wax preserves the physical characteristics of the corpse at the time of death, but it also creates a great obstacle to infer the time of death, and it is difficult and inaccurate to infer the time of death through corpse wax.

Because the city wall was only repaired once last year, it should be left over from that repair, and it is not a big problem to infer the time of death, what really shocked Yang Jing was that through the clothes and hands of the corpses, he found that these corpses were all women!

This made him think of the bones on Zhou Wenfang's construction site for the first time, could these corpses also be left by the serial murderer?

If so, how many people did he kill in just two months of repairing the walls?!!!

If it was really the same murderer, then this murderer might have committed murder in the near future, and even had committed murder many times, but it didn't attract the attention of the government!

Because the frequency of his crimes is too high, and he sealed the body in the wall, right at the head of the city, on top of the thousands of people who come in and out of Baling City every day!

What kind of psychology is this?

This is the most common psychology of a perverted murderer!

On the one hand, they are extremely secretive, and on the other hand, they want the most attention, and they crave the attention of society to prove their existence!

Sealing the corpse at the head of the city will surely give him great satisfaction, and the pleasure of fooling everyone between the palms will make him extremely inflated, and he will become even more violent!

In other words, this murderer will expand too fast, and the crimes will become more and more frequent, and the social harm will be extremely huge!

"We must find out this murderer quickly!" Yang Jing also realized the seriousness of the situation, but it was even clearer that this serial murderer had not been brought to justice for so many years, and even blatantly sealed the body at the city gate, he was definitely a smart guy, and it was not easy to catch him.

The bones found earlier were also buried in a public place like the Snake Temple, which once again verified Yang Jing's inference, this murderer was a psychopathic psychopath, and such a character was difficult to grasp in terms of technology and manpower conditions in later generations, let alone in ancient times.

Of course, no crime can be perfect, and it will definitely leave traces, it's up to you to find it.

Ancient investigators didn't understand the importance of factors such as fingerprints and hair to solve crimes, and they didn't have the technology, but criminals didn't know this either.

Therefore, fingerprints and body fluids and other characteristics are definitely the key to solving the case for Yang Jing, who has a forensic physical evidence investigation box!

And this murderer should have committed the case during the repair of the city wall last year, then he must have the identity of being close to the city wall and participating in the construction, if this is the case, only need to check whether the snake temple has also been under construction several times, maybe he can go further to determine the identity of the murderer!

Yang Jing quickly sorted out this context, and his thinking was clear, but there was still a lot of work to be done at the moment.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Jing was not ambiguous, and immediately instructed Lu Ting'an: "Put out all the torches around, quickly notify the yamen, and let the magistrate call everything that can be used!"

Although the temperature is slightly lower at night, the surrounding torches are bright, and there are fires on the walkway of the city wall, which is extremely unfavorable to the protection of corpse wax, so extinguishing the fire is urgently needed.

But Yang Jing's next order made him a little embarrassed.

"Colonel Lu, how many people do you have here? I want you to help control these construction laborers, all the people who have been close to the city wall, and those who are on leave and those who have not gone to work today, compile a list, and list the detailed personal information for me, can I do it?"
