Chapter 229: Autopsy
At the West Gate of Kyoto, many people stopped to watch the scene above, and some people lowered their heads and prepared to leave the city because they were afraid, and those who did not see it were crowding inside to see what was going on at the gate.
Li Huaiyun followed the crowd to the city gate, and at this time, dark clouds swirled in the air, and drizzle continued to fall.
When he looked up at the city gate, his whole heart felt unusually depressed, and he exhaled deeply, he thought that this could happen.
However, now it is really happening.
On the gate hung two naked bodies, a man and a woman, with disheveled hair and scars and bloodstains, which showed that they had been severely beaten before they died.
The further he walked, the clearer the two faces that fell on the city gate became, and at the same time, the anger in Li Huaiyun's heart became more and more high.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his breathing became rapid.
The people around pointed at the corpses on the city gate, kept speculating about the relationship between the two, and even said that these two people were adulterous and would be killed and fall here.
"I guess it must have been adultery, and the owner was so angry that he stripped them naked and hung them here."
"That's right! I think so, look at that woman's body...! ”
"Why are you hanging here?"
At this time, someone in the crowd occasionally recognized the couple and told the people around them that they lived in Kyoto and did a little business! Be meek, do not hold grudges with others,
When the couple died, they were humiliated, stripped of their clothes, and hung on the city gates, and the murderer was simply insulting Kyoto.
There were more people in the crowd talking, and they were all speculating about who these two people had offended and why they had ended up like this.
Li Huaiyun squeezed under the city gate, saw a discarded canvas on the side of the city gate, and immediately picked up the stone, threw it accurately upward, and broke the rope hanging the corpse.
The corpse fell rapidly from the city gate, causing the people below to exclaim loudly, and the people standing at the front quickly dispersed, for fear that the falling corpse would hit themselves.
Li Huaiyun picked up the canvas, stepped forward with an arrow, used the canvas in the air, completely wrapped the two corpses, and then put them on the ground safely.
Everyone wanted to step forward to watch again, but he shouted back, "All of them are back off for me, no one is allowed to approach the corpse until the future is captured, so as not to destroy the evidence at the scene." ”
Someone was not happy, and began to scold there, and was taught a lesson by Li Huaiyun, and then he knew his identity.
"He's the Demon Slayer, the demon hunter who has been investigating cases in recent days? Looks quite young. ”
"It's him! Isn't this the genius who left good poems for Oiran in the Teaching Division? It seems to be called Jiang Xue! ”
"It is said that some cases in the palace have also been investigated, and the emperor has personally given a lot of rewards!"
"I didn't expect it to be this person, extraordinary bearing, full of heroism, this young man is quite good."
Li Huaiyun didn't pay attention to the discussion of the people around him, he stood aside alone, looked at the two corpses with pale faces, remembered that after the two of them were rescued, he also inquired about the address and sent food to the house.
The same fate as the father and daughter, how much innocent civilian blood will be on the hands of the guards.
Ah! He was a little annoyed, he shouldn't have let those people leave at will, or I should have persuaded this couple to leave Kyoto as soon as possible, and if they stayed here, they would definitely be retaliated against.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that this revenge came so quickly, so fast that people were caught off guard, and he felt a pang of worry in his heart.
If there is evidence to prove that it was that person who did it, no matter what, I will arrest this person and pay for his life!"
After a while, Liu Zhukuai personally brought people over, and they quickly dismissed these people who were watching the excitement, and when they saw Li Huaiyun mourning silently next to the corpse, he asked his subordinates behind him to maintain order and not let others mix in, so as not to affect the verdict.
He stepped forward and saluted with his fists, "Gongzi Li!" I haven't seen you in a long time! ”
"Brother Liu!"
"What's going on here? Why are so many people watching again? ”
"A husband and wife were killed, then stripped naked and hung from the city gates!"
When Liu Zhu heard this, he suddenly became angry, "Damn it!" Who dared to be so bold as to hang the body to the city gate after committing the murder! This is an insult to Da Zhou! ”
"When I catch him, I must punish him with death." He said indignantly, and then looked at Li Huaiyun, "Why is Gongzi Li here!?" ”
Li Huaiyun explained, "I saw many people coming here, and when they heard that something was happening here, they came to watch! How could someone do such a crazy thing! ”
"In addition, I knew these two people, so I sent someone to put them down from above! Wait until you come, and arrest the murderers. ”
"Acquaintance?" Liu Zhuhai immediately asked, "How did you meet?" ”
Li Huaiyun told Liu Zhukuai in detail about his previous experience in the restaurant.
"It's the person who is in the king again," Liu Zhukuai's face was heavy, and he thought for a moment and said, "The father and daughter you asked me to check last time have already had some results!" ”
"How?"
"As my brother expected! It is indeed related to the guards in the palace, and we have been following them for a long time, and the two corpses have also been examined, and the clothing materials left on their fingernails are the same as those worn by the guards. ”
Liu Chukuai frowned. There seemed to be a horseshoe print in the center of his eyebrows, "Although we have evidence, we still can't arrest anyone, and we can't confirm that the clothes are related to what the deceased is wearing." ”
"In other words, I didn't arrest anyone, and when the guard changed his clothes, the only evidence was probably gone!"
Liu Zhutou nodded gently, he was also haggard about this, because he couldn't let justice be heard, and he could only watch that person commit a crime but get away with it.
The anger in Li Huaiyun's heart rose again, and in this situation, he could only conduct an autopsy by himself, so that he might be able to find more clues.
"There is still a chance, I will definitely find evidence and arrest that guard!"
He squatted down, and then began to directly open the sail, revealing the two corpses inside, "This time, I will conduct the autopsy, please Brother Liu watch the onlookers outside, I don't want those voices to disturb the two deceased!" ”
Liu Zhutou clasped his fists and saluted, "Son, please take it, our people will let those people stay away." ”
Li Huaiyun squatted down, and then performed an autopsy on the two corpses, he examined them from beginning to end, and then carefully understood the situation of the corpses.
The corpse had been beaten, the bones were broken, especially the man's ten fingers, which were basically broken one by one, and the ribs had been squeezed, which should have been stepped on by someone, and the skull was bleeding from the skull, most likely with a scabbard.
The other party is just an ordinary person, these guards practice martial arts, but they use martial arts to brutally torture and kill ordinary people, this situation alone makes the martial arts cultivators humiliated.
And the woman's corpse is even more miserable, the flesh on the chest is overkneaded, resulting in dark corpse spots after death, the bones of the feet and legs are broken, it should be to prevent indiscriminate staring, and the root of the thigh muscles is severely lacerated and injured, it is obvious that these people are a group of beasts who think in the lower half of their bodies.
Most of the skin on the front of the body has been bitten, and I am afraid that this situation has been insulted more than once.
The more detailed the inspection, the more angry it is!
Li Huaiyun slammed the ground hard, stood up with an angry face, the green tendons on his forehead were exposed, and his fists were clenched.
These two people are just ordinary people, just because they met this group of beasts, but they are going to suffer this fate, which is really infuriating.
He was now thinking about what substantial evidence there was to prove that the person who committed the crime was the guards of the Linwang Mansion.
The group of onlookers stretched their necks and looked at Li Huaiyun, all of them were whispering, communicating who the murderer was and why he had done such a crazy thing, and the expressions on their faces were filled with righteous indignation.
Li Huaiyun didn't say a word, stepped forward, and took out a silver ingot in his hand, "If anyone knows the current situation of these two people and tells them truthfully, they can take this silver away." ”
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and sure enough, many people rushed to dare to come, just for a certain amount of silver in his hand.
In order to ensure the truth, Li Huaiyun shouted loudly, "Everyone has thought about it, if the clues provided are true, take the silver, if it is fake, then you should bear the responsibility, deceive the government, and go to prison." ”
As soon as he heard that this was the case, there were immediately fewer people, only a dozen people were still there, and when Li Huaiyun asked one by one, what those people said was not wrong, but they were just ordinary people, and they were not enough to give so much silver.
Li Huaiyun could only distribute a little silver to send those people away, and in the end he didn't hear any useful news.
He was a little distressed by this, and there was no substantial progress at present, and just when he was disappointed, a sneaky man hid on the other side of the city wall, and looked at this side for a moment from time to time, and the man's face was complicated, as if he was struggling with whether or not to do it for the silver, so as to disregard his own safety.
Just when the man was distressed, Li Huaiyun suddenly appeared in front of the man, his eyes fixed on the man.
"Who are you? Why the hell here! ”
The man's whole body trembled when he heard the voice, he clasped his fists at Li Huaiyun and saluted, and then looked at the two corpses lying on the ground with his spare eyes.
"Adult, the little one knows the current situation of these two people."
"You should know the consequences of lying."
"Yes."
The man's eyes looked at the silver in Li Huaiyun's hand, "My lord, if you provide clues, is there really a piece of silver?" ”
Li Huaiyun responded, "That's natural, you'd better think clearly, if you find out that you lied, you will go to prison!" ”
The man nodded violently, "Clear! Clear! ”
"Say it!"
The man bowed his head humbly, and then muttered in a low voice, "I saw this couple yesterday evening, and they were still alive at that time, walking down the street in front of their house. ”
"Later, however, when they were about to go home, they were followed, and I lived in several rooms next to them, and there happened to be a wall blocking my figure, and they were rough in appearance and tall in shape, which was obviously not a good visitor."
"Then do you see that clearly, do you look like those people?"
The man nodded, "It was evening, but it was still dawn, and I had been hiding in the doorway, so I could see it clearly, and I had lived in the neighborhood for many years, and I knew exactly who was around. ”
"Who are they, and where do they come from?" Li Huaiyun asked quickly.
"It's the guards of the Linwang Mansion, their official uniforms, and the jade pendants they carry, I'm very sure of those two points alone, these people's faces are particularly fierce, especially for that man, I was afraid of provoking those people, so I stood at the door and didn't dare to move, but in the back, I still saw those guards with my own eyes and took those two people to other places."
The man's face was a little nervous, and he looked away from time to time.
