Chapter 2: It's a Broken Body!
When Qing Zhengsi arrived as Lao Wang, the pedestrians on the street had already surrounded the place where the crime occurred.
A pitch-black foreign object was found in the burned sky lantern, and the old man carefully put the foreign object on the ground with a white cloth, and carefully inspected it for a long time before he said to Shangguan: "Jiang Sizheng, these are broken corpses, and there are too few to determine whether they are people or animals." ”
Suddenly someone from the onlookers shouted-
"There are falling sky lanterns in the sky!!"
"My lord, the sky lantern system is very similar to the burned one, let's chase it!!"
The Qingzheng official sent two teams, one team to chase the crashed sky lantern, and the other team stayed in place.
Soon, a total of seven sky lanterns were recovered, and other charred corpse parts, large and small, with torsos and stumps, were poured out of the sky lanterns, and the smell of burnt food was still in the air because they were burned.
The old man looked at the corpses on the ground, opened his mouth blankly, and his eyes showed a blank expression.
He is old, and he planned to leave the Qingzheng Division and go home to retire after this month, but he didn't expect to encounter such a tragic and strange case before leaving, and a kind of horror spread from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Xie stepped forward to look at the large and small corpses piled up on the ground, and asked the old man: "Lao Wang, these scorched blocks were found from the sky lantern, and the occurrence of such a thing on the Shangyuan Festival has a wide impact, and Qingzheng Division needs to give an explanation as soon as possible to avoid causing panic." ”
"Now tell me, are these pieces from people or animals?"
The old man paid attention to the people around him, squatting on the ground and repeatedly looking for corpses that could distinguish people and animals from the corpses, but as time passed, more and more people gathered around, and there was no doubt that the impact of the sky lantern throwing the corpses was getting bigger and bigger.
"Lao Wang, can you tell it?" Jiang Xie urged.
Lao Wang was so anxious that he was sweating like rain, time was in a hurry, and there were countless eyes staring, and he found several pieces that looked like human bones under pressure, but he couldn't be very sure.
"It's human bones."
A cold voice came from the crowd, and Jiang Xie saw Huo Yijun walking forward at a glance.
I saw him standing behind Lao Qizuo, took out the handkerchief he carried with him, spread it on his hand, picked up a bone in the corpse, and held it up to Jiang Xie to see: "It is the fifth metatarsal of the human left foot, that is, a bone at the bottom of the little toe." ”
As soon as the remarks came out, the onlookers exploded on the spot, and the onlookers talked about it.
The maid Haitang's eyes widened, covered her mouth, and looked at her little boy in disbelief, when did he understand the autopsy?
There was really a murder on Suzaku Street on the Shangyuan Festival!
Lao Qizuo licked his lips, looked at the metatarsal bones in Huo Yijun's hand, and nodded to Jiang Xie.
What made Huo Yijun uneasy was that this bone was in the corpse, it had not been burned, nor did it have any taste or flesh, it was a piece of metatarsal bone that had been deboned, the bone was very clean, there was no dirt and dust, and there was no trace of silt.
It looks like someone deliberately hid in a charred corpse -
"Lao Wang takes the broken corpse and returns to the Qing Division!"
Jiang Xie also seemed to realize this, and asked as he walked, "How long does it take to fight the corpse?" ”
"It will take two or three hours, and there are a lot of corpses to be distinguished......"
Jiang Xie's eyes were gloomy, and his footsteps stopped suddenly, time is so urgent, it will take so long just to fight the corpse?
Huo Yijun suddenly stepped forward, his eyes burning.
"Master Jiang, I can help."
Jiang Xie raised his eyebrows and looked back at the person behind him, a little surprised.
The old man's eyes lit up, and he happily confirmed: "The little boy is familiar with the structure of the human body, can he help fight the corpse?" ”
Seeing that in the crowd, Huo Yijun smiled with firmness: "Yes!" ”
Jiang Xie stared at the person who stood out of the crowd, and quickly confirmed that this person was Huo Ge Lao's little grandson, Huo Yijun, who died of illness some time ago and was miraculously resurrected on the Yuan Festival.
"My lord, it's just him, anyway, I'm going to bring him back to Kiyomasa for questioning."
It's rare for the old man to meet someone who can help him, and he just wants to help Shangfeng solve the case quickly and return to his hometown as soon as possible.
Jiang Xie didn't want this matter to drag on, so with a glance, the officials took away all the people and the burned lampstands.
Huo Yijun raised his feet and was about to follow, but turned around uncomfortably and ordered: "Haitang, I'll go to Qingzheng Division, you go to the Lantern Festival first, and I'll return after Tianming solves the case, you wait for me here." ”
"Yes, young master." Haitang bowed and watched the master and the people of Qingzheng Division leave in a hurry.
Lao Zuo and Huo Yijun were at the forefront, and the rest were behind.
Xiang Xiu followed behind Jiang Xie and said in a low voice: "Young master, just now I heard Huo Yijun say to the maid that the case can be solved in the morning, and we have investigated the Tianlan case so far, it is already in the past, and it is only three hours after the dawn of the dawn, he swears so much, should this case really be related to him?" ”
"Keep an eye on him!"
Jiang Xie frowned, and his pace quickened.
