Chapter 146: A Female Corpse Found in the Ice Cellar
This is a curled female corpse, arms in her arms, palms clenched, hair and eyebrows still hanging with white frost that has not yet melted, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a long green dress looks a little familiar, eyes round and frightened.
Recalling seriously, she whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the maidservant of the Four Kings' Mansion." ”
Tianyi was slightly stunned and quickly came back to his senses: "It seems to be true, the subordinates also remembered that many maidservants in the Four Kings Mansion were wearing clothes of this color, and the subordinates went to the Four Princes' Mansion." ”
Ling Lan lowered her eyes: "Wait! ”
After a pause, her tone was heavy: "This person froze to death in the ice cellar?" Or was he thrown into an ice cellar after death? Who did it? That's the point. ”
Tianyi found the female corpse and asked people to investigate and inquire as soon as possible, the guards in the house were heavily guarded, and not everyone could go to the ice cellar, except for the person who managed the ice cellar, everyone else needed to sign to receive the key when entering, including the maid who took the ice cube before was on the list.
He told the truth about the situation, thinking that there would be clues soon.
In contrast, Ling Lan's expression was unprecedentedly solemn: "Seal all the entrances and exits, and no one is allowed to leave until the results are found, if someone goes out after noon today and doesn't come back, bring them back directly." ”
Tianyi nodded without hesitation, he already understood what the other party meant.
Only Ling Lan herself was left in the room, and she slowly circled around the female corpse, because the corpse was stiff and there was no way to start at present, so she could only observe first to find clues.
Although it was all related to the ice cellar, and the female corpse in front of her also seemed to freeze to death, Ling Lan felt that this was just the surface, and this corpse should have nothing to do with the case of the Four Kings' Mansion.
Serial homicide cases are cases of the same nature, for example, the victims of the first three cases are all young girls of the same age, and the victims are not in the ice cellar, but in unrelated other places, with no inch on their bodies, with a weird smile on their faces, which are all the same.
But the female corpse in front of her is obviously different, she was frozen into an iceman in the ice cellar, her clothes were intact, her face was terrified and frightened, and now she can't be sure that the cause of death is freezing to death, and all kinds of signs indicate that this case has nothing to do with the Four Kings' Mansion.
The thought flashed through her, and she couldn't help but have more questions, if the result was the same as she imagined, then who was the person who threw the maid of the Four Princes' Mansion into the ice cellar of Mo Ziyu's mansion during this time period? Especially when a man is injured and sick, what is the purpose of the other party?
After turning around, she slowly stopped, and the female corpse's clenched right hand bulged slightly, as if there was something in the palm of her hand.
I tried to change several postures and angles, and borrowed tools to no avail, so I couldn't force myself to hurt the corpse, so I had to wait.
Dizzy, she had a kind of top-heavy illusion when she walked outside, a gust of wind blew and felt a burst of coolness, it turned out that she was sweating again, if she didn't sleep at night, it was hard to say that she could hold on until tomorrow morning...
In the vast night, Tianyi seemed to appear out of thin air silently: "Miss Ling, I have found something." ”
Ling Lan tightened her neckline, and an inexplicable brilliance appeared in her eyes: "Is it easy to learn light skills?" ”
"Well, do you want to learn kung fu?"
"Hmmm! If you don't learn other kung fu, it's just light kung fu, which I think is cool. ”
Tianyi raised his hand and scratched his head, and reluctantly smiled when he wanted to speak: "Miss Ling, if you want to learn, you can let the adult teach you, the adult has a solid foundation and deep internal strength." ”
Scold! Tianyi is not as reliable as Ye Feng, let her study with Mo Ziyu, then can it be good?
"By the way, how long have you been studying to be like this?"
This time, Tianyi quickly responded: "About ten years." ”
Ling Lan: "... So how old are you? ”
"I was twenty years old in August."
Ling Lan pursed her lips and gave a silent thumbs up, she shouldn't have asked, she didn't have to think about it to know that it was not something that could be learned in ten days and a half months, but that it would take countless hard work and sweat to train hard day by day...
Thinking that he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for Tianyi, so that the other party began to learn kung fu before he was ten years old.
In fact, most children in this era are very bitter, and only powerful sons can go to school, stretch out their hands for food, and enjoy life with all day and wine.
The children of poor people are very pitiful, they have to work at a young age, help the family reduce the burden, and there are many hungry and hungry, wandering on the streets and begging...
Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road!
It is the existence of two extremes.
Under the dictatorship of imperial power, there was a clear hierarchy between the rich and the poor, and scientific research was the only way for ordinary people to get ahead.
But after ten years of hard work, there are countless talents, and it is not easy to be on the list.
Seeing that she was silent, she thought she had some scruples, Tianyi said softly: "Miss Ling, if you really want to learn from adults, you will definitely teach you seriously, don't worry!" ”
Ling Lan chuckled: "I'm not worried about this, I'm just thinking, you have spent so many years practicing kung fu, it must be very hard, right?" ”
Tianyi was stunned, moved his lips but did not make a sound.
Ling Lan realized that she might have said something wrong, and immediately changed the subject: "By the way, what did you just say?" ”
"Oh! There was a maid who recalled that she had found a suspicious figure, and Aunt Li, who managed the warehouse, also said that she felt sleepy and rested for a while during that time, and her subordinates guessed that someone should have taken the opportunity to enter the ice cellar at that time. ”
"Except for Aunt Li and that maid, don't anyone else have any clues?"
Tianyi shook his head slightly, indicating that there is no yet.
"How many people are there in the house?" Ling Lan asked again.
"The guards don't count, including subordinates and Ye Feng, there are a total of eighteen people, and no one has left today."
Ling Lan had long noticed that there were not many people in the mansion, and Fluttershy had also mentioned Mo Ziyu Xijing before, but there were only eighteen people in such a large mansion, which was indeed a few.
Thoughts flashed, and Ling Lan chuckled, "In this way, you gather these sixteen people together, and let's do an experiment." ”
Do experiments? Tianyi didn't know why, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Soon, Ling Lan whispered in his ear.
Tianyi nodded as if he didn't understand, turned around and disappeared into the vast night.
After a stick of incense, the sixteen people in the house were taken to a spacious and bright room and stood in a row.
"Listen, Miss Ling has something to say." Tianyi is straight and has a loud voice.
The sixteen people immediately stood up and looked at Ling Lan in unison.
Under the complicated and subtle gaze of everyone, Ling Lan took a few steps to the middle position, and only then did everyone notice that a red cloth was covered on the table not far away, and something was obviously covered underneath.
Ling Lan raised her hand and tore off the red cloth, everyone was stunned, and what caught their eyes was a large black incense burner, and there was a statue of Guanyin Buddha behind it.
"You may not believe it, but not long ago I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva in my middle sleep, and she was on top of the lotus seat and shimmering behind her..."
