The west side of the building was completely chaotic, and the lights that had been extinguished were lit up in an instant, and from a distance, it looked like the fire was swaying in the night.

The scholars had long forgotten the so-called ancient precept that a gentleman should not stand under the wall, and his hands were tightly gripping the fence, all of them were excited, and they stretched their necks to look out.

Although there was also excitement to see last night, but tonight's excitement is obviously very different from last night, last night only arrested six entrained scholars, although it was a big crime but the life is still there, but tonight it is dead.

The deterrent power of a human life is extremely shocking to these powerless literati.

The scholars only dared to look at the fence from afar, but they did not dare to speak out.

The night is deep, the lights are dim, the alley is long, and the latrine at the end of the alley can't be seen, let alone the many soldiers surrounding the latrine at this time, and nothing can be seen.

I can't see anything, but I can hear it.

The noise at the end of the alleyway, loud in the quiet of the night, was clearly transmitted to the house.

The soldiers saw Han Changdui coming over coldly from a distance, and they lowered their heads and were silent, consciously getting out of the way.

And the person who first found the body was taken aside by He Zhenfu and asked carefully in a low voice.

His expression was serious, and he took notes as he asked.

The person who found the body was a scholar, who was already pale at the moment, and his body trembled slightly, obviously frightened enough.

Yao Qi walked over, swept his eyes, and raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene.

Come to think of it, I came out in the middle of the night like a toilet, and I encountered this kind of thing, but I was afraid that it would leave a psychological shadow.

A dim lamp hung above the doorway of the latrine, and the dim light fell on the front of the doorway, which made it even darker.

The gate is facing the alleyway, and after entering the door, there is a thin wall of blue bricks, bypassing the wall, and there are four squatting pits behind it, and between the pits, there is also a thin wall of blue bricks.

The latrine is cleaned every day, and it is still clean, but the smell accumulated over the years cannot be removed by cleaning every day, so it is useless to burn a good incense of agarwood.

The place where the body was found was in the last squatting pit at the entrance, and the location was hidden.

As soon as Han Changdufang walked into the latrine, although he had already prepared, his face was covered with a thick face towel, and he still had incense tablets in his mouth, but he was still dizzy from the smell.

Yao Qi and Meng Sui, who walked in after him, were also caught off guard by the smell, and tears flowed down as soon as they brushed them.

Yao Ji covered his mouth and buzzed and exclaimed: "Ouch, I'll go, it's really fucking up." ”

Meng Suiqi also took a step back sharply: "It's too rushing, and I don't know how those scholars can stand it." ”

Han Changdui was much more stable than the two of them, and his face didn't even change, and he walked slowly to the innermost part of the latrine.

Seeing this, Yao Qi and the others couldn't blindly retreat from hypocrisy, so they had to move forward with their heads down.

A lamp hangs down from the high beam, the lamp is dim, and the blue brick walls around it are mottled and cold, this cold is perennial no sunlight, penetrating into the depths of the brick and stone cracks, and in the middle of the night, it is particularly terrifying.

Because the body was found in a hurry, and the soldiers knew that the matter was important, they did not move it without permission, so the place where the body was found was very well preserved, and the condition of the body was also good

There is no change.

When I walked to the innermost part of the latrine, I saw a man in a royal blue robe, in a very strange posture, crooked in a stinking squatting pit.

The man had his back to the entrance of the latrine, and was sunk into a squatting pit from the waist down, stained with stinking filth, while his upper body was leaning limply against the back wall, his head drooping down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

Han Changdui didn't stop, walked around to the corpse, squatted down, and reached out to support the corpse's chin.

I saw that this person was thin and pale, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his neck was even more slender.

What's even more terrifying is that this man's tongue sticks out of his mouth in a small section, showing a dark purple color, he stares at a pair of eyes, his white eyes are rolling, and his eyes are covered with scarlet bloodshots, and he actually looks terrifying and dead.

This look, Han Changdui was used to seeing the battlefield, and he couldn't help but be frightened, he reached out and pulled the placket of the corpse down, and saw a circle of dark purple marks on his neck, he lowered his eyes, revealing a clear expression.

Yao Ji put his hand behind the corpse's ear, tested the temperature of the corpse, covered his mouth and hummed: "My lord, there is still residual warmth, this person has not long been dead." ”

Han Changdui carried the lamp, and a dim light suddenly illuminated the dark purple trace, and squinted his eyes and said, "I was strangled to death." ”

Yao Ji leaned forward and looked at it carefully: "What caused such a thick strangulation mark?" ”

Han Changdui looked around: "It's too dark here, and the lower half of the corpse is soaked in it, so it can't be carefully inspected, so people can salvage the corpse now." ”

Meng Sui listened, hurriedly turned around and went out, called a few soldiers in, carefully salvaged the body, listened to Han Changdu's instructions, and placed it in the open space between the entrance of the toilet and the wall, which could not only block the sight of the scholars, but also smell some of the stench.

The body was fished out and placed neatly on the ground, but Han Changwan and the others looked at the hideous corpse and didn't know what to say.

They are not familiar with this business.

Yao Qi sighed: "It would be nice if Sun Yan was here." ”

Han Changwan nodded: "The autopsy is not done." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves high and made a gesture of doing it himself.

Yao Qi looked at Han Changdui in surprise: "The adult will conduct an autopsy?" ”

Han Changdui blinked, and chuckled in a rare playful light: "Probably, it will." ”

"......" Yao Ji changed for a moment, and sneered: "Yes, if the test is not good, it is not bad." ”

Han Changwan smiled disapprerovingly, took the gauntlet handed over by Yao Qi, put it on, and picked up the hem of the man's clothes soaked with filth.

Yao Ji took the examination booklet and pen and ink very interestingly, and prepared to record the inspection as usual.

Meng Suiqi went back into the latrine and carefully searched for suspicious places.

It was quiet all around, He Zhenfu also finished asking, and let the soldier go back to the house first, and he took the soldiers to walk in the alley, intimidating the soldiers who were looking at the excitement.

The night was getting darker and darker, and the clouds silently covered the moonlight, and the deep night shrouded all around.

The night wind swirled in the alleyway, and a smoky stench spread with the wind.

The garment of the corpse laid on the ground is already

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

All of them faded, and Han Changdui carefully examined the body while whispering in a deep voice: "The deceased is about his early twenties, the body is still warm, and there are no wounds or blood stains on the body. He picked up the man's hand: "There are only two calluses on his hands, which are left by holding a pen for many years." ”

He curled up the man's legs, flipped him over, and saw a fist-sized bruise on the man's lower back.

He was stunned for a moment: "This is ......"

Yao Qi heard the hesitation in Han Changdui's words, hurriedly stepped forward and looked over, and asked puzzledly: "This place, such a big bruise, where did this hit?" ”

Han Changwan raised his eyebrows, stared at him silently, and looked at the purple strangulation marks on the man's neck, suspicious.

Before he could figure out anything, he saw Meng Sui hurriedly come out of the toilet and said, "My lord, there is a discovery on the beam." ”

Han Changdu's face changed slightly, and he raised his chin towards Yao Qi, and then followed Meng Sui into the toilet.

The high beams were covered with dust, and the soldiers did not sweep the beams when they cleaned the latrines, so the dust accumulated a thick layer.

Meng Suiji looked up at the beam and said, "My lord, there is a very small gap between the beam and the roof, and I found a piece of dust on the beam that was rubbed off." He stretched out his hand, holding a piece of silk thread on his palm: "My lord, this is found on the beam." ”

Han Changdui picked up the filament and looked at it, revealing a disappointed expression.

It's an indigo silk thread that looks like it's new.

He handed the silk thread to Yao Qi: "Look at it." ”

Yao Ji took it inexplicably, looked at it carefully, and then shook his head: "Xia Guan can't see what kind of material this is." ”

Han Changdui looked at Yao Qi in surprise: "You, aren't you a girl, don't girls know everything?" ”

"......" Yao Qi was speechless.

It's true that she is a girl, but she has always worn cotton and linen clothes, so how can she have the money to buy any good materials.

She glanced at the thread a few more times, and it was obviously not the cheap fabric she was used to.

She raised her eyebrows: "Is there any misunderstanding about this girl?" ”

Han Changwan smiled, did not speak, and when he walked out of the latrine, he turned his head to look at the corpse.

He was not good at autopsies, but he was only able to roughly distinguish some of the wounds, and as for some of the more detailed marks, he couldn't see them, let alone autopsies.

Even if he wanted to examine it carefully, he didn't have the tools he had at hand.

He thought for a moment and instructed Meng Suiji: "First send the body to the empty room of Mingyuan Building, and then seal this latrine, arrange soldiers to guard it, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

Meng Sui should claim to be.

He Zhenfu heard the movement, walked up to Han Changdui and whispered, "My lord, I have checked it clearly." ”

Han Changdui nodded, but made a gesture, only watching Meng Sui with the soldiers, sending the body into the first floor of Mingyuan Building, and then turned to He Zhenfu and said: "After the Gongyuan opens tomorrow, you take an internal guard back to the Internal Security Division and replace Sun Ying." ”

He Zhenfu was stunned for a moment: "My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." ”

Han Changdui shook his head: "It's okay, it's urgent." ”

He Zhenfu nodded, followed Meng Sui to Mingyuan Building, walked through the alleyway, and then whispered back to what Fang had just asked.
