Han Changdui frowned slightly, and ordered with a cold face: "An Zhutou, you have to arrange for the officials to go around to inquire about the case before and after, but who sees someone entering here, after Zhao San'er leaves, someone can follow him, and the whereabouts of the old woman in this house, in addition, draw the portrait of the old man and the young woman as soon as possible, and then let Zhao San'er carefully describe the appearance of the jade pendant,"

As soon as he heard this, An Zhutou knew that Han Changdui was going to take care of this case, he knew that this case had become a big case, and it was not something that a small Wannian County could handle, and the willingness of the Internal Health Department to intervene was tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.

He should claim that he was, and arranged for the servants to go in a hurry.

There were many things to be inquired about, and the officials dispersed in an instant, and even the chief Hu Yue and the two fangding went to find someone to interrogate together, and in an instant, there were only three Han Changdui and a strange corpse lying in the gloomy sky in this boxy courtyard.

In this way, when the three of them talk about the case, they don't need to shy away from scruples.

Although it was still dark outside and the sun was in full bloom, the patio was already dark and dark, and it was a little difficult to see.

Sun Ying took the inspection booklet, squinted and looked at it for a long time, and didn't raise his head and said, "Lamp." ”

A flash of light shone head-on and landed on the inspection booklet, and the small characters suddenly became clear, Sun Ying looked up at Yao Qi, who was holding the lamp, and sighed: "Your writing is too small." ”

Yao Qi also sighed: "Sun Chengzuo, you can drink more cassia chrysanthemum tea." ”

"......" Sun Ying looked at each other suspiciously.

Yao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Your eyes are spent at a young age, and you won't be blind when you get old in the future." ”

"......" Sun Ying grinded his teeth, picked up the pen and wrote something in the examination booklet, and said in a deep voice as he wrote: "My lord, this person has no other scars on his body except for the knife wound and the ironclad wound on his limbs, and it doesn't look like he was coerced to stay here." ”

Han Changwan nodded and said, "I don't know if I was deceived. ”

Yao Ji added: "Abducting people will not abduct a pregnant person." ”

Sun Ying nodded in agreement, and brushed down the pen again: "My lord, the knife edge on this person's body is also very strange. ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows: "What's so strange?" ”

Sun Ying pondered: "The knife edge is straight, thin and long, and the cut skin and flesh are very neat, indicating that the blade is extremely thin and sharp, and the hand of the person who cut the knife is very stable, and the hand of the person who went down the knife did not shake a little, and the knife was very accurate, but it just cut the flesh and skin, but it did not hurt the five internal organs in the abdomen, and obviously did not hurt the fetus, and cleverly avoided several blood vessels that are easy to cause heavy bleeding, so that the deceased would be alive until the fetus was taken out." He paused slightly, and his tone was cold and calm: "My lord, the murderer is a familiar hand. ”

Yao Qi frowned: "Familiar hands, how familiar are you, is it the kind that cooks the cow?" ”

Sun Ying said solemnly: "The murderer is familiar with the distribution of internal organs and meridians on people, and the knife used is also specially used to open the abdomen. ”

Hearing this, Yao Qi immediately remembered the scalpel used by the surgeon in her previous life, and she frowned, but in this ancient world, how could there be a scalpel.

She blinked, no, it is recorded in the history books that the surgical technology of the Tang and Song dynasties has reached the peak level, similar to the surgical instruments of the lancet, which have been widely used in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just not known at what level of surgical techniques in this dynasty.

She said in a deep voice: "The murderer's methods are so skillful, could he be a doctor himself?" ”

Han Changdui twisted his cuffs, was silent for a long time, and suddenly seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, and his voice was as cold as the wind: "I have seen a thin blade called a lancet, which can cause the kind of knife edge that Sun Yanzuo said. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yao Qi's face showed a faint surprise.

It turns out that in this ancient period, there were already surgical instruments such as lancets.

Han Changdui keenly grasped the fleeting surprise on Yao Qi's face, and with the meaning that it was really so, he was slightly stunned, and said tentatively: "Has Yao joined the army also seen this kind of thin blade?" ”

"Ah, no, it's not." Yao Qi came back to his senses and shook his head quickly.

Han Changdui stared at Yao Qi deeply, and smiled meaningfully.

Sun Ying also heard Han Changdu's words about the lancet, and said with a frown: "Since Jiannan Dao has this kind of thin blade, then, there should be one in Chang'an City." ”

Han Changwan nodded: "Just look it up." ”

At this time, the officials who had gone out to inquire also came back one after another, listened to An Zhutou's instructions, walked in front of Han Changdui in turn, and replied respectfully.

"My lord, the neighbors all said that there were no strangers entering and leaving this winding alley at the time of the crime, and no one heard any unusual noises, let alone calling for help."

"Adults, villains, etc. carefully searched Zhao San'er's residence, but did not find the jade pendant, and the neighbors also said that no one entered Zhao San'er's house."

"My lord, the neighbors say that this old man and the young live in a simple house, and rarely show up in front of outsiders, especially the pregnant little woman, who has never appeared in front of her neighbors in the past ten days."

"My lord, the neighbors didn't see this old man and young man leave the alley today."

"My lord, the neighbors didn't hear the crying of babies in this house."

"My lord, this is the portrait of the old and the young, please look at it."

"My lord, this is what that jade pendant looks like, Zhao San'er said that he only glanced at it, and he can't remember it clearly."

"My lord, this house has been searched inside and out, and nothing has been found except this corpse."

The officials came back one by one, and Han Changdu's heart sank.

It is said that everyone who walks through must leave traces, but there is no trace of such a bloody and cruel case.

He took the three pieces of paper and looked at them carefully, and the little woman's appearance was really blurry, and there was nothing special about it.

Yao Ji grinned and laughed dryly: "This painting is really two eyes and one mouth." ”

Han Changdui was silent, and took out the portrait of the old woman again, he squinted, his eyes suddenly became a little colder, and handed it to Yao Qi and said, "Look at it, are you familiar?" ”

The old woman in the portrait is indeed an aging face, although I don't know how similar this portrait is to myself, but the eyes are particularly expressive, as if there is a knife in the eyes, just one glance at the person, can cut off a piece of flesh alive.

Yao Qi frowned, a little hesitant: "However, the eyes are somewhat similar, but they are not similar in other places." ”

Han Changdui was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "After the accident in King An's Mansion, she and the county lord disappeared. ”

The words were amazing, Yao Qi knew who Han Changdui was talking about, and said in surprise: "The adults suspect that these two people are ......"

When it comes to royal secrecy, she doesn't get it through.

Han Changdui raised his head, looked at the distant blue sky, pursed his lips and said nothing, and only after a while turned back to An Zhutou and said: "There is Lao An Zhutou who ordered the officials to guard this place, and the official will arrange for the internal guard to come to take over later, and when the case is not clear, please also ask An Zhutou and others to keep it secret." ”

An Zhutou was stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of Han Changdu's words, is this to take over this case?

This is a great thing, such a big case, Wannian County can't resist it at all, he was originally worried that the county master would be worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep, but now it's okay.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows and eyes showed joy, and he saluted deeply: "Yes, the villain obeys the orders of the adults." ”

Han Changdui instructed Sun Ying: "Sun Yanzuo, collect the corpse first and send it back to the Internal Security Division." ”

Sun Yingying claimed that it was, and took out a special body bag from the autopsy box, called two officials to help, and carefully lifted the body and put it into the bag.

After the body was removed, there was a very shallow humanoid mark on the ground, and there was no blood seeping into the soil, but there was a faint layer of hoarfrost.

Sun Ying sighed lightly, picked up a very small and thin emerald green leaf from the soil, and looked carefully at the lamp and candle.

Yao Ji also leaned over, looked at it for a while and asked, "What kind of leaf is this?" ”

Han Changdui stretched out his hand and took the leaf and looked at it for a long time: "This is a bamboo leaf." ”

"Bamboo leaves?" Sun Ying looked around: "There is not even a single grass in this yard, where did the bamboo leaves come from?" ”

Yao Qi looked at the leaves, the color was emerald green, the leaf tongue was raised, the leaves were small and thin, and the thinnest place could show translucent jade through the jumping candle flame.

She stammered, "My lord, this doesn't seem like an ordinary bamboo leaf." ”

"It's rare that there is something that Yao doesn't know when he joins the army." Han Changdui glanced at Yao Qi: "This is the leaf of the tortoiseshell bamboo." ”

Yao Qi pursed his lips: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Han Changwan patiently explained: "Tortoiseshell bamboo is a treasure in bamboo, extremely rare, because the proglottids on the bamboo pole resemble tortoiseshell dragon scales, this kind of bamboo is not as elegant and delicate as other varieties of bamboo, but hard and rough, strong and resolute. ”

Sun Ying licked her dry lips: "But my lord, let alone tortoiseshell bamboo here, even the most ordinary bamboo, there is no one." ”

Han Changdui said in a deep voice: "This bamboo leaf was brought in from elsewhere. ”

Yao Qi narrowed his eyes: "This bamboo leaf may have been brought by the deceased, or it may have been brought by the murderer." ”

Han Changdui saw that Sun Ying had already packed up the body, so he put aside this talk and ordered: "Go back to the Internal Security Division first." ”

After a long time of busy work, the sun has turned west, and the blue sky has a golden sunset, rippling layer by layer.

The group carried the tightly wrapped corpse, passed through the narrow winding alley, quickly walked to the mouth of the alley, turned over on the horse, and galloped all the way north to the west of the sun.

Such a big case has long attracted the attention of the neighbors, and when they saw someone leaving, the people poked their heads out to watch, and when they saw the officials surrounding the house, they immediately lost their thoughts of inquiry, retracted to their own homes, and stayed honestly.
