Lord Yuan, who was worried about Yun Shizi, sat in the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion and took a sip of tea, and slowly let out a long sigh of relief, "It's good that this official is witty." ”

At that time, Yuan Fang got a letter, saying that someone fell into the lake in Yaidan outside the city, and there was a murder, so he hurriedly dressed and got into the carriage while scolding.

As a result, I asked on the way, what kind of spring banquet did Ya Xianju have today, and the attendees were: the second prince, the eldest princess, the lord of Ding'an, and the prince of Nangong......

One is more than the other, which gives Lord Yuan a headache, and when he hears the back-

"Yun Shizi? Yun Shizi of the Criminal Division? ”

"Yes, my lord, Yun Shizi also went to the spring banquet organized by the Lu family."

Lord Yuan didn't say a word and immediately asked the people below to stop the carriage, and the feeling in his heart became more and more intense, "Who is the one who died first?" ”

"It was Liu Gongzi of the Liu family who fell into the lake, as for the deceased, it is not clear at the moment, it seems to have been fished out from the bottom of the lake."

Lord Yuan's eyes kept rolling a few times, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Go back, go back quickly." ”

"My lord, the case ......"

"Take care of a fart case, you find someone to mention the criminal department, just say that Yun Shizi asked someone to notify the people in the yamen to go to the scene of the murder."

Lord Yuan, who returned to Jingzhao Mansion, shook his head and hummed a few songs, and said: "It's the person who reported the crime who went to the wrong place, but it has nothing to do with the official's Jingzhao Mansion." ”

As for Ya's leisure residence in the back garden lake, Yun Shizi looked at the official who took the lead and became more and more familiar, until someone came to him and saluted, "Shizi, the subordinates will come when they receive the report." ”

Yunqi recognized the person, "Wu Zhutou? ”

Wu Zhutou is the chief catcher of the Criminal Division, as a native of the royal capital, he is sturdy, not stupid, and a little smart, and immediately judged from Yunqi's eyes that something was wrong, so he said: "Someone came to report the case, saying that the prince of the world asked someone to send us to live in Ya. ”

Yun Qi's eyes rolled slightly, and he instantly understood that it was still Yuan Fang's fox who made the ghost, and since he came, he couldn't drive people back again.

"You've come just in time, and I'll leave this side to you."

"Yes." Wu Zhutou is accustomed to Yunqi's official style of throwing his hands at the shopkeeper, and he is still a little difficult to say in his heart, but he is an upright person, but he has not particularly shown it.

Wu Zhutou was cool, and waved his hand, "Xu Cheng will conduct a first autopsy, and a few of you will surround it, and no irrelevant people are allowed to approach." Pointing his finger, "You go to find the people in the Zhuangzi to understand the situation, and you, check the owner of this Zhuangzi." ”

The county lord of Ding'an dug three big pits in a row, but he couldn't see the prey jump in as he wished, and he was dissatisfied and said to Wu: "Blind? I didn't see the second prince here. ”

Wu Zhutou hurried all the way when he heard the news, and only said that there was a group of sons and sisters from the royal capital city at the spring banquet, but he didn't say that there were two princes inside, and it happened that the position where the second prince was standing was blocked by someone, and he naturally saluted when he saw his boss Yunqi.

"Wu Xiang, the lowly and criminal division, see the second prince."

The second prince glanced at Yun Qi thoughtfully, his father said earlier that he should pay more attention to Yun Shizi of Shengle County, I don't know if this person is real or fake, according to Wu Zhutou's vigorous and resolute style, it is true that there are many capable people in the Criminal Division.

Therefore, the second prince was mistakenly convinced, Yunqi didn't have much ability, and the reason why he did so well in the first two cases after taking over the Criminal Division was all due to his subordinates.

smiled gently, and said gently: "It's okay, the prince doesn't understand the matter of the case, you just do it according to the regulations." ”

After a few words, after completing the inspection, he bowed to the second prince, and then looked at Yunqi and then at Wu Zhutou, not knowing who to report to.

Yunqi brandished the jade bone fan and didn't look at it, looking like he had nothing to do with himself, so he was helpless, so he had to say to Wu Zhutou: "The body has decomposed into bones, and no traces of sharp weapons have been found for the time being, the hyoid bone is cracked, and he died of suffocation at the beginning." ”

When the steward of Zhuangzi heard this, he immediately said: "It must be a thief who fell into the river and drowned in the dark." ”

Where did he dare to judge, and said vaguely: "Specifically, it needs to be sent back to the Criminal Division for further investigation." ”

In the late spring, when the corpse was fished up for a long time, the sun was shining, and the stench became stronger and stronger, and as he said, it was all rotten like this, and it was impossible to distinguish anything from the surface of the corpse, so he still had to get it back, separate the carrion, and then examine the bones.

Wu Zhutou raised his hand, and was just about to call out to the officials to prepare to carry the corpse, when a clear female voice sounded: "I don't know how Xu Yanzuo plans to examine the bones?" ”

Xu Qizuo saw that it was a masked woman who spoke, her bearing was extraordinary, her black eyes were pure and shining, and she knew that all the nobles present were noble, so she didn't dare to be annoyed, and arched her hand: "In ancient times, there was a method of 'steaming bones to check injuries', if there was an injury on the bone, that is, there was a red shade, and then the scar bone was seen by the sun, and it could be seen whether the deceased was cut with a sharp weapon. ”

"What if the wound is in the flesh and not in the bones?"

"This ......," Xu Yanzuo shook his head, "the corpse has decomposed, and this is the only way to try." ”

Lu Anran took two steps out and said, "There is indeed a way to test the wounds of steamed bones, but it has its shortcomings, and it may also cover up other traces on the corpse." ”

"...... is this young lady?"

"She is the daughter of the Mengdu Lu clan, and she is a high-ranking disciple of the Jixia Palace Doctor." The corner of the Ding'an County Lord's mouth opened a sneering smile, "What Miss Lu said is the truth, it is inevitable that it is really a homicide, it is better to work with this Xu Cheng to find out the case well, and save yourself from letting the murderer go." ”

Lu Anran didn't want to make this head, but she couldn't help but speak out when she saw that Xu Yan's autopsy was too sloppy, and she somewhat understood why it was difficult to solve the case by mentioning the criminal division.

Everyone else looked at her, and even Xu Qizuo showed a surprised expression.

The county lord of Ding'an said two simple words, not only praised her, but also put her in a dilemma, this time Lu Anran did not shirk, his black eyes were as translucent as washed with water, and his eyebrows said indifferently: "The courtiers do their best." ”

Yun Qi's eyes turned slightly, and he said casually: "Has the criminal prosecution department of this world collapsed, and you want a woman to handle the case?" ”

Including the eldest princess, everyone is a little incomprehensible, obviously Yunqi and Lu Anran were very close just now, and even rumors spread outside, saying that the Yun Shizi of Shengle County and the concubine of the Lu family of Mengdu are not clear and have an ambiguous relationship, so how can this head be degraded first.

Could it be that these two people are not as good as the rumors, or there are other hidden secrets.

The second prince's mind kept spinning rapidly, could it be that Mengdu and Shengle County had any plans?

Wei Lu Anran understood the intention of Yunqi's words, but he just wanted to put her aside from this matter, and when he turned around, he avoided others and said in a voice that only Yunqi could hear: "It's okay, I can still handle it." ”

Yunqi's hand holding the jade bone fan stopped in front of his chest, the curvature of the corners of his mouth remained unchanged, and his eyebrows raised a touch of wantonness, "Are you so interested in the dead?" This prince will also go and take a look, do the second prince and Nangong prince want to see it? ”

The second prince glanced at the lake, and the dead man's head was originally facing the lake, but after Xu Cheng straightened it out, a dead man's face was completely exposed in front of everyone.

The face was all rotten, leaving a piece of carrion in the east and west, the cheeks on both sides were sunken in, and the piece of flesh left behind had irregular tearing marks, and the mouth was cracked into a big hole in white bones, as if it was making a sinister smile, and one eyeball fell out of the carrion and was stuck in the sunken face bone, just staring at everyone.

The people who stay here are not small, and it is also called this scene creepy, and they feel the wind gusting in their ears.

"There is specialization in the art industry, and this prince still doesn't interfere." The second prince clenched his fist against his lips and coughed a few times.

The county lord of Ding'an took the eldest princess back, and sneered coldly with a bad face: "Bad thing." "It's about the corpse, but it's Lu Anran where the eyes are.

After being separated from the others for a while, Yun Qi snorted lightly: "Knowing that someone asked you to jump into the pit, you also took the initiative to throw yourself into the hunter's trap." ”

"The prince said so, when I know that the other party can't make a plan, there will be another plan, not to mention that the autopsy is my job."

"It's hard for a woman to deal with."

"Since the prince understands Fengyue, why worry about the difficulty of women." Lu Anran stopped a few steps away from the corpse.

Yun Qi closed his fan and knocked on his forehead, "If it weren't for your tone being too calm, this son would have thought you were snorting vinegar." ”

Lu Anran raised his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, "No vinegar, please ask someone to prepare atractylodes, soaphorns, and a few slices of ginger." ”

Yunqi saw that Xu Qizuo also had something in his mouth before the autopsy just now, so he knew that this was used by Lu Anran to ward off evil spirits and filth, and turned his head to let Wu Xiang order.

After a while, everything was ready, Lu Anran took a piece of ginger in his mouth, took out some medicinal powder from the sachet on his waist and sprinkled it around the corpse, and said: "The corpse has been sunk in the lake for a long time, and it was okay when it was first fished out, but the sun has been shining for a long time, and I am afraid that there will be corpse poison scattered in the air, which will poison people." ”

"Miss Lu sprinkled this can detoxify the corpse?" Nangong Zhi also came over at some point.

Lu Anran didn't raise his head and said, "It's naturally okay to stay away." ”

Nangong was stunned for a moment, and Yun Qi sneered: "Miss Lu thinks you're in the way, Nangong Shaofu." ”

Who knows, Lu Anran followed closely and said: "Yun Shizi, please also retreat a little, you don't cover your mouth and nose, too close is easy to get poisoned." ”

Yun Qi raised his eyebrows, you didn't say that when you asked me to help you turn over the corpse, you didn't say that.

Lu Anran took out a pair of deerskin gloves and put them on himself, looked at the rotten face of the deceased in front of him, completely unmoved, and even pressed the deceased's head with his hand, groping from the strands of hair, and quietly pressed back the eyeball that fell out.

The eldest princess's face changed, and finally she couldn't help but turn her head, and the county lord of Ding'an had disgust in her eyes and sneered: "Things that can't be put on the table." ”

It is in line with Su Xiangxiang's previous evaluation of Lu Anran - it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

No matter what others think, Lu Anran's clear voice came from the lake, "At the beginning of the break, the deceased was a man, seven feet eight inches long, hair about three feet long, and four ...... pieces on his body."

Su Xiangxiang didn't dare to look over there, and at the concerned gaze cast by the second prince, he pursed his lips and said: "The first time I met a post-mortem exam, I didn't want to be so meticulous." ”

One person happened to stride over, and when he heard Su Xiangxiang's words, he didn't think much about it, so he said: "Miss Lu said that the deceased is the most intuitive and honest witness in the world, and as a servant, you can't easily live up to this silent entrustment, and omit any omission or miss the opportunity to solve the case." ”

Su Xiangxiang originally said vaguely that Lu Anran didn't have to pretend like this, but he didn't expect to ask people to put their faces in front of them, and then look at who the person was, and his expression froze for a moment.
