Yang Jing inspected and observed the camp several times, and soon found the idea of solving the case.

Although it was conclusive in front of Jia Rudao, Yang Jing already had a general speculation about this case in his heart, but speculation is speculation after all, and if you want to prove that it was arson, you must find relevant evidence.

Hongzhou is close to Pengli Lake, and it is not very dry at night, but it is very hot and windless in summer, and it is not easy to find the fire point.

If there is wind, the ignition point can be reversed from the severity of the burning and the direction in which the fire spreads, and the ignition point should be investigated to determine whether it was arson.

But there was no wind tonight, the camp was on fire, and it was extinguished by the sergeant, not to mention the large number of people in the process of extinguishing the fire, and the use of the fire dragon This kind of equipment, the traces of the scene have long been destroyed, it may not be difficult to find the fire point, but Jia seems to have the intention to cover it up, and Yang Jing did not expect to be able to investigate anything from the fire point.

Yang Jing glanced around, and then climbed the arrow tower outside the camp, at this time the sky was already bright, by the morning light, Yang Jing overlooked the entire camp, and soon found the general location of the fire point.

After arriving at the fire point, the situation was really as Yang Jing thought, if there were things like wood, he could still deduce some things with exploration value from the burning of wood, but the camp was all tents, and the fences and horses outside had no forensic value.

The investigation of the fire scene is the work of the trace investigator, and Yang Jing only has a general understanding of this, and if he wants to investigate in detail, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the conclusion may not be helpful, so Yang Jing temporarily gave up the investigation of the fire scene and turned to the corpses.

Li Zhun and Song Boren had already taken all the confessions from the isolation camp, and after meeting with Yang Jing to catch up, they began to assist Yang Jing in investigating the case.

Although they were not as handy as Song Fengya, they had followed Song Ci for a short time, and they were well versed in Yang Jing's investigation ideas, familiar with Yang Jing's investigation methods, and immediately went separately to examine the burned corpses.

The corpses were charred with blackened skin, fleshy skin, bared teeth, yellowish-white fissures, oozing with fat and blood, mixed with ashes, and doused with water by the fire-fighting sergeants.

Yang Jing asked them to pry open the mouths of the deceased, check the soot inside, and confirm that these were all traces of death before death, that is, these people were burned alive.

Coupled with their body shapes, their state of struggle to resist the fire, etc., it can be seen that the results of the investigation are not much different from the corpses filled in by the army.

Zhang Changling had also asked people to check the identities of these people, and soon sent the report file to Yang Jing.

There is not much discrepancy in this dossier, after all, these people are Jia Nidao's personal soldiers, and Jia Nidao has the intention to cover it up, so he naturally does it well.

But Yang Jing finally saw the problem!

These deceased were all sergeants and had tattoos on their bodies, but there were tattoos on two corpses that attracted Yang Jing's attention!

The Song people like to call the sergeant a thief with the army, and they look down on the sergeant very much, because the sergeant can tattoo words on his neck, hands and even face.

Some tattooed the word "command" on their bodies, and some directly tattooed the number of the battalion and regiment, which can be regarded as a kind of identification.

But this kind of tattoo can be different from the tattoo of people in the rivers and lakes, like the prodigal son Yanqing and other romantic figures, will tattoo a large group of koi flowers and other tattoos on the body, and the sergeant is tattooed as a last resort, no one wants to tattoo these things on the body.

After all, the ancients were taught by the law of etiquette, and the so-called parents of the body and skin should not be easily damaged, and the sergeant only tattooed the characters in order to identify them.

But in addition to the tattoos of such and such a battalion, there are tattoos on the chests on these two corpses, which are almost like tattoos!

If it is a tattoo of the Song people, the pattern is also exquisite, such as the Yan Qing mentioned by Shicai, the body is koi fish and flower clusters, etc., all of which have auspicious meanings or things that they think are fate totems and the like.

And on the bodies of these two corpses, the stabbing is a jackal and an eagle falcon!

The difference between farming people and nomadic peoples is usually also manifested in the totems of their beliefs, and the farming people, especially in a country with a very deep heritage like the Song Dynasty, are to tattoo, and they will also embroider some more noble or mild things, flowers, birds, fish, insects, gods, beasts, spiritual objects, and so on.

The beliefs of the nomads are relatively primitive, and the totems on the tattoos are also close to the direction of the original ecology, with these two tattoos, Yang Jing has been able to preliminarily conclude that these two people are not Song people!

In later generations, genetic technology and other means and methods were used to determine the race of unknown corpses, but in ancient times, without such means, it was difficult to determine the race based on elements such as body skeleton, face shape, and length of hands and feet.

Yang Jing didn't dare to say that he was 100% sure that they were foreigners, but this was at least a clue that provided Yang Jing with a direction.

Under Yang Jing's advice, Li Zhun and others began to deliberately collect clues about related aspects, and after this search, they really found something valuable!

Although these two deceased were both dressed as Song Jun, they had some animal teeth on their necks, and the wear and tear of their teeth was also very serious!

Although the Song people also had countless poor people, the sergeants on the whole still had a good life.

Due to the different diets, nomads often eat meat, and the degree of wear and tear of their teeth is naturally more severe.

And the Song people understood the toothbrush early on, that is, ordinary people, who have no money to buy a toothbrush, will also use things like willow branches to clean their teeth, as for things like toothpaste and tooth salt, they are just ordinary objects in the Song Dynasty.

The Mongolian and other nomadic people are heroic by nature, and the living environment and conditions are not as good as those of the Song people.

Combined with the animal teeth they wore and the condition of the teeth, Yang Jing could already confirm that these two people were not necessarily the Mongols he speculated, but they were by no means the soldiers of the Song people, and it was very likely that they were fine works!

And their greatest possibility should be Annam or Mongolia's meticulous work!

There were 100,000 forbidden troops in this southern expedition, in addition to a large number of van soldiers and auxiliaries, as well as civil servants and even military slaves and exiled prisoners, etc., adding up to at least 200,000 people.

Among these 200,000 or so people, it is impossible not to have meticulous work, let alone the meticulous work of the enemy country, that is, other countries and even the Jianghu sect may have a lot of meticulous work in the army.

It's just that these two detailed appearances in the camp area of Jia Nidao are a little intriguing!

Who is Jia Yidao?

That is the number one favorite minister of the Great Song Dynasty today, except for Yang Jing, no one can compete with it, at least in terms of the favor of the official family, it is true.

Zhao Yun asked him to serve as the supervisor of the army, which was to supervise this army on behalf of the Son of Heaven, beat Yang Jing, and prevent Yang Jing from supporting the army and respecting himself.

Jia Nidao has been operating in the court for many years, even if the Mongols later hit Lin'an, and no one was available in the Song Dynasty, in the end, it was Jia Nidao who came forward, wanted to negotiate peace with the Mongols, and dealt with the Mongols earlier.

The officials trust him so much, in addition to his status as an uncle and his ability to run politics, his achievements in "diplomacy" are also an ability that several officials rely on.

Jia Rudao is proficient in diplomacy, and naturally knows how to make embankments, coupled with his control over the lieutenant generals and colonels, there is no reason why these two fine works cannot be seen, maybe what he has been deliberately covering up is these two fine works?

If not, why would he be in a hurry to remove these corpses, to dispose of them?

In fact, there is no technical content in the army, and it cannot even be called a servant, but can only be called a servant, and what they do is a matter of convergence and burial.

But Jia Rudao had just put out the fire, so he asked the soldiers to carefully inspect the corpse and fill in the corpse grid, which is obviously a bit unreasonable!

And in the dossier sent by Zhang Changling, the identities of these deceased people are also very clear, and the names and origins of these people are listed in detail.

But here's where the problem arises, and it's just trying to cover it up!

Because there were no cameras in ancient times, how many words could you write on a small piece of paper when you used a brush to write?

The ancients used words to save space, largely because the words were too big and the paper was too small, so many descriptions would be very concise.

Even in the imperial examination, in order to avoid the gunman taking the exam and the like, the identity of the candidate needs to be jointly guaranteed by five people, that is, the candidates must guarantee each other, and they must also be guaranteed by the county's teachers and magistrates to confirm that the candidates are not gunmen.

On the candidate's file, the candidate's appearance and body must also be described, such as so-and-so candidate, five big and three thick, black moles on the face, sparse beard and other words.

Just imagine, even the most rigorous imperial examinations can only be described to such a very general level, why would a lowly sergeant's file be recorded in such detail?

Therefore, Yang Jing thinks that this is Jia Rudao's desire to cover up, at least he knows the identities of these two fine works, and is even covering for these two fine works!

Yang Jing thought about it carefully, and he had a plan in his heart, and the key point of this case was grasped, at least he caught the sore spot of Jia Nidao, and if he wanted to crack this case, he didn't have to worry about Jia Nidao's non-cooperation!

"Almost, the bodies of these dead are to be stored temporarily, and no one is allowed to approach them without my orders. ”

Yang Jing ended the investigation here, issued a blockade order to Zhang Changling's people, and asked Li Zhun and others to do interviews and investigations, but he came to the isolation camp.

He originally wanted to go to Jia Nidao, find out the identity of the fine work, finish the arson case, and then come to investigate the isolation camp.

But the situation in the isolation camp is relatively special, the case is more strange, and Yang Jing is also worried that if it is delayed for a long time, the scene will lose its value, so it is better to investigate it as soon as possible.

As for the inside story of the arson case, Yang Jing already has the general direction in his heart, and even the entire context and framework are clear, and he is not in a hurry to confront Jia Yidao.

The case in the quarantine camp is much more complicated.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the cause of death of the deceased is enough to make Yang Jing scratch his ears and cheeks.

After Yang Jing inspected the scene, his mind was full of the words "spontaneous combustion of the human body", and besides that, he really couldn't think of any other way to burn a person like this.

However, the spontaneous combustion of the human body is only an exception, and this situation may occur by all kinds of coincidental coincidences or extremely special human bodies.

However, the situation here is that several people in the quarantine camp have been burned to death like this, and it is no longer an exception!

This also shows a problem, the murderer can create this illusion of spontaneous combustion of the human body, there must be extremely high technical support, or this method has been regularized, what a terrifying power!
