Chapter 2 Do you look like a corpse?
The next day, Ji Xia slept until he woke up naturally, said goodbye to yesterday's "roommate", and prepared to go out for a walk. As the mist lifts in the morning, the sun shines through the clouds, making you feel refreshed.
Unconsciously, Ji Xia walked to a river, looked at the river, and thought about why he crossed it.
Suddenly, she was struck by a gorgeously dressed woman, and almost fell down, and was about to catch the person who hit her and ask her to apologize to herself.
I saw the woman running towards the river, followed by a richly dressed man, and as they ran, they cried out, "My daughter......
There were also several people dressed as officials around the river.
Ji Xia was curious, so he walked towards the crowd.
"Lord Wang, Mrs. Wang, please mourn ......"
"How did my daughter die?"
"After this examination, there is no suspicion that Miss is the cause of death, and it can be determined that Miss committed suicide and drowned......"
I saw a bald old man about fifty years old simply flip the corpse, and quickly came to a conclusion, stood aside and said, his eyes were still full of pride.
"Daughter!"
"Nonsense, this young lady was clearly strangled to death." With his years of forensic knowledge, Ji Xia only glanced at it from a distance, and he had the answer in his heart.
"What are you, you dare to talk in front of the old man! Do you know what you're up against? It's a corpse! The old man has been working for decades......"
Ji Xia couldn't listen to it anymore, and was most annoyed by this kind of person who had no knowledge and relied on the old and sold the old, so he coldly interrupted the self-proclaimed speech: "Uncle, do you think I am a little familiar?" ”
Just as the uncle was looking at Ji Xia's confusion, a man who looked like an official next to him first exclaimed, and then said tremblingly, "You...... You...... You are...... Yesterday afternoon's ...... The corpse! ”
Ji Xia silently rolled his eyes in his heart and explained, "What do you think I look like a corpse?" ”
Then he said to Uncle Zuo, "But Uncle said yesterday that I was a corpse. Right, uncle? ”
It turned out that Ji Xia had heard someone say that she was dead in a daze, but she was not fully conscious at that time, and she didn't have the strength to get up and scold.
I saw this Uncle Zhang walking around Ji Xia with his hands behind his back, and looked at Ji Xia carefully, frowning unconsciously.
When Ji Xia saw him like this, he had already verified his guess in his heart, and secretly scolded "incompetent" with disgust in his heart, so he ignored him and walked towards the corpse by himself.
"Uncle Zhang, you ......" Another official-looking man spoke slowly, and before he could finish speaking, Uncle Zuo shook his sleeves and turned away angrily.
"Uncle Zhang, don't go, who will test it!"
"Whoa." Uncle Zhang nodded in the direction of Ji Xia.
"Alas, this Uncle Zhang was disgraced by this girl and couldn't get off the stage. I'm afraid that Lord Yang will be able to invite him back. The man sighed and said to his companion.
Before the words fell, I only heard Master Wang's stern scolding: "What are you doing!" ”
"Don't touch my daughter, didn't you hear what Zhang Chengzuo said just now?"
"Didn't you hear what I just said, your daughter was murdered, do you want your daughter to die in vain?"
Ji Xia retorted without showing weakness, her words were cold and without a trace of emotion, and she didn't look up, and the movements in her hands did not stop, and she was doing a preliminary examination of the girl's body by herself.
"Master, I want to know how Xiuxiu died?" The woman spoke slowly and pleaded with the man beside her.
"Madame!" The man was clearly reluctant.
"This girl, in the lower high cold," Gao Han saw that everyone was in a stalemate around the corpse, so he opened his mouth to relieve the siege, and pointed to another young man beside him, "This is Xue Dabao, we are the head catcher of this county." ”
Once Ji Xia started to test, it was as if she had entered a space where only she and the corpse existed, and she didn't like to be disturbed, hearing this, she was quite impatient in her heart, but now that she was in a foreign land, she couldn't have a seizure, so she stopped what she was doing, raised her head and looked at Gao Han, facing Gao Han's black eyes.
The high cold is about twenty-five or six, the pupils are pitch black, the bridge of the nose is high, and the upward phoenix eyes contain a faint nobility that does not match the identity, and the expression is not shocked, and the chin is raised slightly unconsciously when speaking, adding a touch of arrogance.
And Xue Dabao beside him looked a few years younger than Gao Han, about in his early twenties, with fine black hair sprinkled on his forehead, and a pair of brown pupils embedded in his eye sockets as if soaked in a pool of clear water.
Both men were dressed in head-catching clothes, with broad shoulders and narrow waists, and their postures were erect, with a saber pinned to their waists.
It was close to noon, and a large expanse of sunlight reflected through the surface of the river, shining on them with a faint golden halo.
Ji Xia couldn't help but look a little stupid, and only after a while did he slowly say, "I'm Ji Xia." ”
"I just heard your conversation with Uncle Zhang, it seems that you have some opinions about Miss Wang's corpse?" Gao Han asked.
"Well, a little bit of it."
"I wonder if you can go back to the yamen with us and help us check it again?"
Zhang Chengzuo was so angry that Ji Xia went on strike, and there was no way to find a replacement for a while, Gao Han saw that she had a lot of opinions about the autopsy, so he tried to ask.
Ji Xia thought to himself: This is obviously not the scene of the first crime, people come and go, the environmental evidence has long been destroyed, and there are still the families of the deceased around to disturb them, so it is impossible to seriously inspect them. It's better to go back to the yamen with him, although it can't compare to the high-tech of modern testing, there must still be simple tools.
immediately agreed to Gao Han and returned to the yamen with him.
Along the way, Xue Dabao was very curious about Ji Xia's autopsy, and heard that Ji Xia had slept in Yizhuang for one night after waking up last night, and he was even more surprised, and kept asking where Ji Xia came from, where he was taught, where he lived, and where he was going......
Ji Xia didn't know how to answer, but said: From where you came from, where you go, you will prevaricate in the past.
Hearing Ji Xia's answer, Xue Dabao only thought that Ji Xia had a weak temperament, and even if he was curious, he couldn't ask any more questions.
Although Xue Dabao kept nagging, it couldn't help but make Ji Xia feel that he was a little noisy, but it also made Ji Xia understand where he was.
Today is the seventh day of the fifth month of the 39th year of the Great Calendar, this place is called Taoyuan County, although it is a small county seat, but when the emperor Gao Zhan was born in cloth, he knew the suffering of the people, ascended the throne logistics in political affairs, reduced and exempted taxes, is a virtuous monarch, and Taoyuan County is located in the southwest corner of the capital, because of the convenience of the capital, the local people live very richly.
When Xue Dabao talked about the emperor of the dynasty, Ji Xia noticed that Gao Han's expression moved slightly, and he looked a little proud, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"I'm afraid this girl has a secret hidden in her." Gao Han on the side listened to Ji Xia using clumsy skills to inquire about the geographical location and the monarch of the dynasty to Xue Dabao, and couldn't help but look at Ji Xia slightly.
I saw that she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was still wearing the same white clothes that she had found her on the bank of the river yesterday, and her clothes and shoes were a little torn, and there was a little mud on the bank of the river.
He only wears a jade jade bracelet on his body, no other jewelry, no powder, and a plain face, perhaps because he didn't rest in Yizhuang last night and looks a little haggard, but it is still like a plum that stands proudly against the strong wind, and has a dusty temperament.
If you look closely, the fair face has a tall and small nose, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars, and a small tear mole embedded in the left corner of the eye.
