Syllable!

Wang Gui slapped her in the face, "Get out!" ”

"Daddy......"

"Stop yelling, dig up!" The two servants followed and stabbed her again. Wang Daya was so frightened that she shrank to the side, and quickly dug up the soil. It didn't matter, the stench was brought out by her along with two hand bones.

Listening to her screams, Chen Chaoyan put on a mask and walked forward slowly. After glancing at the two hand bones, stopping Wang Gui who was out of control, and calling Wen Kui, who came over, to persuade him to put him aside, she squatted in front of the dry tree pit, looked at the bones soaked in the wet soil and maggots, and quietly twisted her eyebrows, and then ordered Ling You: "Go find a branch for me." ”

Before Ling You could move, Xie Xuan handed over a branch.

Chen Chaoyan looked up at him, saw that he was also wearing a mask, bent her lips, and thanked her again, she took the branch and delicately picked out the two skulls and hyoid bones in the maggot pile.

Then, with a burst of vomiting, she flipped her skull upside down. Two skulls, the smaller one intact, but there was hemorrhage in the petrous part of the temporal bone, which was a sign of mechanical asphyxiation. Larger skull fractures, judging by the fracture marks, can be just right against the handle of the hoe.

Look at the hyoid bone again.

Two hyoid bones, one with a complete fracture of the greater horn of the hyoid bone, and one with a slight fracture.

Hyoid fracture is a major basis for mechanical asphyxiation death caused by external force in the neck.

In short, the skull injury and the hyoid bone injury are in line with Wang Daya's explanation.

Looking at the tree pit again, Chen Chaoyan threw the branch and got up, and after standing aside, he instructed the two officials: "Leave the rest to her, be sure to find out all the bones and clean them up!" ”

The two officials should be, Qi Qi took a knife and walked towards Wang Daya.

Chen Chaoyan was too lazy to listen to her screams and arguments anymore, and after clapping his hands, he left the depression.

Xie Xuan followed her closely, "The case is closed?" ”

"Almost, when Zhao Tie's confession comes out, you can ......" Before Chen Chaoyan's words were finished, he saw Yan Shiliang coming over quickly through the official and handed her two pages, "It's Zhao Tie's confession." ”

Chen Chaoyan took it.

Yan Shiliang said: "My lord asked me to go back to Beilu County last night, and this is a confession that was tried overnight. ”

After Chen Chaoyan said 'hard work', he glanced at it twice.

is different from Wang Daya's maintenance everywhere, Zhao Tie's confession is much more straightforward.

When he approached Wang Daya, he went to the tofu shop. originally thought that it would take a while to succeed, but he didn't expect that just a few simple words would coax Wang Daya into her arms.

After returning the confession to Yan Shiliang and asking him to take it to Wen Kui, Chen Chaoyan turned his head to look at Wen Kui, who was supervising Wang Daya's excavation of bones in the depression, and turned around and said, "You can go back to Luyang County." ”

Yue Jian was already breathless, but the moment she heard her go back to Luyang County, she wiped her mouth and instructed Ling You: "What are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear Miss Chen say that she wanted to go back to Luyang County, why don't you hurry up and prepare!" ”

Ling You was about to reply, Yuejian took a few steps over, grabbed his ears and pulled him aside, and scolded in a low voice: "Are you stupid, you know that Lord Wen has bad intentions towards Miss Chen, so don't you leave quickly!" ”

Ling You shouted, "You let go first!" ”

Yuejian let go of him, and before he opened his mouth to scold, he took the first step and hummed: "In the morning in the Osmanthus Forest, Lord Wen invited Miss Chen to stay in Beilu County, and Miss Chen did not refuse. ”

"Then you didn't say it earlier!" After Ling You quickly rubbed his ears, he hooked the official who had called to find Chen Chaoyan earlier, and quickly commanded, "Hurry up and prepare, it's time to go back to Luyang County!" ”

The official should be loud.

Ling You slapped him on the back of the head, "What are you doing so loudly!" ”

The official nodded, covered his head, and ran to prepare.

Chen Chaoyan hooked the corners of his mouth, and did not stop too much. Following behind Xie Xuan, he walked out while listening to the soft whispers of the officials.

When she was about to walk out of the encirclement of the officials, the muttering of one of the officials inadvertently broke into Chen Chaoyan's ears, making her pause for a moment and look at the officials who were speaking.

However, there were too many servants, and they were wearing the same clothes, and when she looked over, she was silent at the same time. Chen Chaoyan searched around, but found no one, so he simply asked, "Who said just now that Zhao Tie didn't kill someone like this for the first time?" ”

Several officials looked at a tall and thin officer.

The tall and thin servant's face turned white in an instant, "The villain is just ......"

Chen Chaoyan interrupted him, "You said it very well, but I need you to repeat what you just said." ”

The tall and thin official couldn't tell if what she said was true or not, but he still said tremblingly: "Killing people and burying them under a tree, ordinary people can't think of this kind of thing, Zhao Tie can do this, I can't say that I have used this method to kill people before." ”

"Yes, that's it!" Chen Chaoyan smiled, and his mind was full of thoughts in an instant.

The use of vibrating the medulla oblongata to fake the spasm of the corpse, so as to achieve the victim's goal of suicide, is more elaborate than killing someone and burying it under the roots of a tree. And at the scene of Zhou Zhongcai's crime, there were no other clues except fingerprints. With such a 'perfect' means of committing the crime, whether the murderer is an individual or an organization, it is impossible to commit the crime for the first time!

As long as you find even one of the same suicide cases, you can peel back the cocoon and find out the real murderer!

Thinking of this, Chen Chaoyan couldn't wait to return to Luyang County, "Lord Wang......"

As soon as the words came out, seeing the overwhelmed Gao Tang officials, Chen Chaoyan instantly suppressed his thoughts, changed his words and asked Xie Xuan: "Can the prince reward him?" ”

Xie Xuan looked at her twice, and then at Chonglou twice.

Chonglou took out two golden melon seeds from his arms and handed them to the tall and thin servant.

The common currency of the Great Wei Dynasty was copper coins, and gold and silver were only used for rewards or official large-scale transactions. Although these two golden melon seeds cannot be used for trading, Xie Xuan's reward is incomparable to copper coins in terms of reputation.

Although in Chen Chaoyan's view, copper coins are more practical. But it was expected that with Xie Xuan's identity, he might not bring copper coins at all, so he gave up.

After the tall and thin servant kowtowed to thank him, Chen Chaoyan thought about it for a while, and then asked again: "Are you familiar with Zhao Tie?" ”

The tall and thin servant was rewarded, and he had a posture of knowing everything and saying everything, "Zhao Tie had a family affair before he climbed up to Wang Daya. The woman who was betrothed to him was from our village. It's just that for some reason, not long after Zhao Tie climbed to Wang Daya, the woman disappeared for no reason, and her whereabouts have not been found so far. ”

Chen Chaoyan looked back twice, Wen Kui was still busy. After a moment of deliberation between continuing to stay and investigating Zhou Zhongcai's case and going back to Luyang County to investigate Zhou Zhongcai's case, she ordered: "Lord Wen is busy, and when he is done, you must report this matter to him in detail, and then let him retry Zhao Tie." ”

The tall and thin servants should be respectful.

Chen Chaoyan thought for a while, and after making sure that there was nothing missing, he bowed his head slightly towards the tall and thin servant, and followed Xie Xuan. After walking a short distance, Wen Kui, who noticed the movement, chased after him, "Lord Wang! The prince is going back to Luyang County so soon? ”

Xie Xuanshun glanced at Chen Chaoyan and looked at him: "This king has condescended to come to Beilu County for so long, why, isn't it enough?" ”

"It's Weichen who doesn't take care of him, and he asks the prince to forgive him." Wen Kui immediately waved his hand to make amends. As for the words of full retention, naturally I can't say a word.

Xie Xuan snorted twice, "The case should be broken or not, Miss Chen has already been broken, and the rest of the finishing work, you can finish it as soon as possible, sort it out and send it to Luyang County." ”

Wen Kui Gong should be.

"Go ahead." Xie Xuan ordered.

Wen Kui waved his hand: "Weichen sends the prince, and sends Miss Chen." ”

Xie Xuan walked straight away.

Chen Chaoyan saluted him before leaving.

Wen Kui raised his head slightly, and watched them disappear until he straightened up and sighed regretfully. After that, he stood for a few more moments before turning around and walking back.

After walking a few steps, he was stopped by a tall and thin officer.

According to Chen Chaoyan's instructions, the tall and thin official reported everything he knew to Wen Kui.

Wen Kui listened and quickly turned around. Xie Xuan and Chen Chaoyan didn't know where to go, and with his footsteps, they would definitely not be able to catch up. Stamped his foot in annoyance, he said angrily: "There is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”

The tall and thin official was at a loss and said, "I just called the adult, but the adult ignored me." ”

He was referring to when Wen Kui chased after him.

He didn't pay attention, didn't he know how to hold him? Wen Kui glared at him fiercely, and when he was about to leave, he saw the golden melon seeds he was holding in his hand, and in anger, he snatched them and stuffed them into his arms. The tall and thin official just wanted to open his mouth and say that it was given to him by Xie Xuan, but Wen Kui snorted: "What, do you still want to rob this official?" ”

The tall and thin official hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare." ”

"It's good if you don't dare!" Wen Kui flicked his sleeves and left with a snort.

The tall and thin servant was left alone and looked at him without tears.

Out of Yichuan Town, after walking for half an hour, he entered the official road. Although the official road is still bumpy, it is much better than the rural road. Chen Chaoyan, who had been holding his breath, arrived here and finally slowly relaxed. After drinking half a cup of tea, and then admiring the Yichuan Town that was gradually moving away for a while, her thoughts slowly calmed down.

Then.

Of course, she thought about Zhou Zhongcai's case.

Before he could think of a reason, Xie Xuan's casual voice came first: "Miss Chen thinks that there is more than one case of Zhou Zhongcai's 'suicide'?" ”

Chen Chaoyan didn't answer and asked: "The prince thinks my idea is wrong?" ”

Xie Xuan was also like her, and asked instead of answering: "Did Miss Chen ever think that there was really the same 'suicide' case, why didn't Wang Da and others in the county guard mansion remind him?" ”

Chen Chaoyan twisted her eyebrows slightly, she really hadn't thought about this problem.

"Three possibilities." Xie Xuan sat up from the Hu bed, took the herbal tea handed by the waiter, took a sip of it, and said lightly, "First, before identifying Ma Huai as the murderer, although there were many officials who followed the investigation together, there were not many people who really knew the cause of Zhou Zhongcai's death; Second, after the judgment was made that he committed suicide, he did not file a case again; Three...... It is considered a real charge of one, Wang Dazhi and others know that there is the same case, but because the case is related to them, they cover each other. ”

Chen Chaoyan nodded, followed his train of thought, and slowly added: "The first possibility is easy to solve, after returning to the county guard's mansion, Lord Feng will announce the cause of Zhou Zhongcai's death, and it will be fine." The second possibility, Zhou Zhongcai's case, if it weren't for Mrs. Zhou going to the county guard mansion to make trouble, it is very likely that she would be judged to have committed suicide and not be filed, this is also easy to solve, just go back and ask Uncle Sun. The third can be ......"

Xie Xuan interrupted her, "Did Miss Chen not look at the personal information recorded on the fingerprint card of the county guard's mansion carefully, or could she not remember it?" ”

Chen Chaoyan looked at him inexplicably, "If the prince has anything to say, just say it." ”

Xie Xuan hooked the corners of his mouth and reminded slowly: "Old man Sun only arrived at the county guard mansion in March of the previous year. ”

Chen Chaoyan's complexion changed instantly, and then he immediately looked at the light screen.
