After Di Ying resigned, Nie Bo and other forty guards did not go back to Jin Wuwei.

I don't know if His Majesty deliberately forgot or didn't remember this stubble, and no one told them to go back anyway.

And they followed the adults of their house with joy, and went on to go about.

In the process of rushing all the way to save His Majesty, everyone's bodies were more or less colorful, and they happened to be recuperating in Dijiazhuang.

After raising, he followed Pengze County.

Di Ying didn't rush anyone either.

Nor can I rush it.

They have also become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of some people, and if they go back to Zuo Jin Wuwei, I am afraid they will not live long.

It's better to take it with you, and you can still take care of each other.

The old rule: In the courtyard where they all live, there is a specially set up "autopsy room".

As soon as Di Ying returned to the courtyard, You Twenty-three wanted to laugh when he saw Yu Twenty-four, who was going fishing with an adult, and was carrying an empty fish basket in his hand.

But Yu Twenty-four's eyes fluttered.

You Twenty-three immediately took it seriously, and at the same time, he also found that among the brothers who went out with him, several people did not come back with him.

It's a matter of business for adults.

Yes, as soon as Di Ying came back, she went straight to the autopsy room, where a skull was placed on the wooden plank.

If the man who had been face to face with the skull had been present, he would have recognized it as the dead man's head that had scared him so much that his soul had flown away

As soon as he heard the situation, Peng Liang, who replaced the skull with the stone and brought it back, was also in the autopsy room making the preparations that should be made during the autopsy.

Instead of lighting atractylodes and cutting ginger slices, he lit the torches on the wall and brought in buckets of yellow mud.

Nie Bo called two buckets of water.

There was no flesh left on this skull. There are only some silt sediment, grass clippings and the like.

It only needs to be washed, not boiled.

Now everyone is very clear about the autopsy process of their own adults, and how to cooperate is very easy.

Of course, whenever this happens, anyone who has no work in hand has to follow up and learn.

In the words of adults: more skills do not press.

Song Wen taught the portraits of the guards.

The 88 children rescued from the "Hearty Tooth Walk" have found their families through portraits in the past few years, or have been properly placed in the adoption of well-meaning families.

They all have a place to go.

The portrait skills that the guards learned were either to paint portraits on official documents of sea fishing or to paint the faces of the dead restored by their own adults.

Now it's a breeze to master.

According to Di Ying's examination of the skull, it was found that it was not drowned.

In fact, the skull is not very complete.

Eliminate traces of being eaten by fish and crabs.

His nasal bones, chin bones, cheekbones, etc., all had fractured wounds left after being hit by heavy objects, all of which were prenatal injuries.

A concave blow mark in the middle of the forehead is a fatal wound.

In other words, the murderer attacked the person in the face and in the front with a heavy object. The force is from top to bottom. Before he died, he lay flat on the ground.

The posterior occipital bone has traces left by a hard object.

This excludes the possibility that the deceased slipped and fell by accident before her death, and then fell into the air and killed her.

Because in that case, the posterior occipital bone will be left with a mark of a bruise, that is, a resistance injury, not just a bruise.

The owner of this skull is a woman. He is around 29 years old. And it is a typical Jiangnan woman bone shape.

After Di Ying's hand restored her appearance, the graceful characteristics of her Jiangnan woman are particularly obvious.

Now, it is up to the guards who remain at the fishing place to find the bones of the dead after everyone has dispersed.

However, Di Ying did not have much hope for this.

Based on the direction of the river, the force of the impact, and the length of time the skull and cervical vertebrae were broken by the silt in the skull, it can be inferred that the deceased's skull was thrown into the river after being severed.

The fractures were messy, but the marks left by the sharp blades could also be seen.

After the head is eaten by the fish in the river, it is washed up in the slow stream, and then it may be spotted by some fisherman and thrown ashore.

Or......

Be kind, and bury your hand in the vicinity.

And the body of the deceased does not know where it is, nor does it know whether it entered the river, and where it was washed away after entering the river?

There are many big fish in the river, and it is very difficult to find the corpses.

Sure enough, in the middle of the night, the guards who had remained in the area to search for the bones returned empty-handed.

Di Ying had to ask the guards to supplement the painted portraits with each other, and then paste them on the public notice boards of the four gates of the county seat and the four main streets.

In fact, don't look at Pengze County, there are nearly 160,000 people, but the county seat is not big, it is divided into four tofu blocks, and there are only four streets.

However, the south of the Yangtze River is rich, and the county is relatively prosperous.

Someone asked, why did Fang Bin go?

Oh, and the county can't be left unattended. Fang Bin became Master Di's master and went to the county government to handle official business.

So as soon as the portrait was posted, someone in the know soon went to the county government and provided information to Master Fang.

Fang Bin is responsible for the return.

But this news made Di Ying happy.

"Head down?"

Di Ying opened her phoenix eyes slightly and asked Fang Bin.

Fang Bin nodded and replied, "That's what the man said." Three years ago, at the beginning of April of the ninth year of the Great Xia calendar, couples began to disappear.

And every missing couple was very loving and the villagers were all villagers before their deaths.

After that, there were always heads found along the riverside. As for the body, no one knows.

There are rumors among the people: There is a powerful witch who once suffered betrayal from her husband and the like, and then practiced very powerful witchcraft, and specially used the 'head lowering technique' to deal with the loving people of husband and wife.

The man couldn't say anything specific, and he said it in a mess, but that's the general idea. ”

"Who is the person in the portrait, and no one has recognized it yet?" Di Ying changed the subject.

Fang Bin shook his head.

The little eyes rolled, and after thinking for a few breaths, he replied: "Maybe it's related to the so-called 'descending head', so no one dares to admit it?" ”

"No,"

Di Ying denied this claim.

"If young couples can be affectionate, there must be sensible elders in the in-laws' family. A family with such elders will inevitably not turn a blind eye to the missing person in their family. Wait, maybe there will be news soon.

You should also take a look at the cases that have disappeared over the years and sort them all out. ”

Fang Bin responded and went back to the county office.

Di Ying, on the other hand, continued to lead people to search the upper reaches of the Yangtze River from the place where the skull was found.

According to changes in water flow, wind direction, etc.; According to the severed marks of the skull and the corpse, if the head and the corpse were thrown into the river at the same time, the corpse should be in the upper reaches of the river.

The deceased was dead for at least more than a year.

Although Di Ying felt that there was a high probability that there would be no discovery, he still had to try his best to search for suspicious traces.

……

Meanwhile.

Under the jurisdiction of Pengze County, Yanghua Village, Rao Town.

A young couple of the Qiu family were preparing to go to work in the fields.

Qiu's mother walked out of the stove room and instructed: "Chuandong, you and Hongxia should pay attention to safety, and pay attention to proportions in front of outsiders, don't let that harmful witch find out that you two are very affectionate."

Also, be sure not to separate. No matter what happens, two people have to be together, they have to have something in their hands, and don't be separated. ”
