Shaking his head, Di Ying retracted his thoughts and looked at the case.

In the main hall, it is quiet and quiet.

I don't know how long it has been, Di Ying put down the last case file and looked at Wei Xiuyi, who was still standing there in that posture.

He asked aloud: "From August 11 last year to February 26 now, there have been a total of nine similar massacres in Xingzhou Prefecture.

Lord Wei, this official found that in these nine cases, there are rich families, wealthy businessmen, and petty officials...... Do you know what they all have in common? Is there a necessary connection between these nine cases? ”

"There was an uncrowned male child with his lower body removed."

Wei Xiuyi asked and replied simply.

Di Ying got up, put his hands behind his back, and paced in the hall.

asked aloud: "Yes, they all have such obvious characteristics of serial cases, so did those boys know each other before they died?" ”

"Hui Di's words: they are acquaintances and acquaintances. They were originally young masters in the city of Honshu, and they would always be accompanied by horses and dogs, drinking and shopping for flowers every day.

But it's not evil. And there are also students in state schools. Some of them have quite good academic achievements. ”

Di Ying listened, paused, and said to Wei Xiuyi: "Where are the bodies of the dead now?" ”

When Wei Xiuyi heard this, his standing posture still did not change.

He only arched his hand and replied: "Except for the bodies of the deceased of the Ran family today, the rest have been taken away by their respective relatives and buried in the western suburbs. ”

"Isn't anyone making noise?" Di Ying asked.

Wei Xiuyi replied: "The government said that it has been reported to the Criminal Department, but the corpse cannot be arbitrarily decomposed in the mortuary, so let them go to the wild cemetery outside the western suburbs and bury it in the mass grave first."

Those people were anxious to fight for the property of the deceased, and they did not care to urge the state capital. And the Criminal Department has not sent someone down to investigate for a long time, so the lower officials can only wait. ”

"Are you waiting?"

Di Ying smiled meaninglessly.

He continued: "Just wait, and you won't know where they're all buried." Okay, lead the way, the official is going to the grave for an autopsy. ”

"Yes."

Wei Xiuyi saluted, turned around, and led the way again.

Not one more word, not one more nonsense. Even if he was praised superficially, he was not half moved.

Di Ying is almost convinced of this guy.

It looks like a hanger, and it behaves like a hanger. It's very insecure to look at people like this.

He was no longer in the mood to speak. The group was silent and went to the mass grave in the western suburbs.

There is not only one large deep grave.

Throwing into the big pit;

A burial is a burial in a field near a deep pit.

But no matter what, such a place, even in the middle of the day, gives people a particularly gloomy feeling.

Because of the famine.

There are hills, sparse trees, and flat burial places, but they just give people a sense of desolation and gloom. Even if the sun is shining overhead.

Look at the tall and low grave bags in that place, the white flags and wreaths on the grave bags, the paper ashes in that place, the unburned pieces of paper, the decaying tributes, the broken pieces of pottery......

No matter how brilliant he was in life and after death, he will not be the same.

Only here, in such a place, is all beings completely equal.

Di Ying sighed with emotion, followed Wei Xiuyi, and went to the back of a small hill.

Wei Xiuyi stood on the hillside, pointed to this area, and said, "It's all here." Specify what they want to bury here. There are monuments, and the youngest children have them. Easy to identify. ”

After saying that, he looked like "dead" again and stood aside.

Di Ying didn't talk to him too much, took the shovel handed by Peng Liang, and led the guards to open the grave in chronological order from near to far.

Of course, after the first tomb was opened, Di Ying was only responsible for examining the corpses and bones.

This area is actually well chosen, and it avoids the living people who may come in on three sides to bury people or embarrass people.

So even though they were digging a lot, they didn't alarm anyone.

Not even the crow on the only tree next to the grave could not be alarmed.

One by one, the graves were dug up, the corpses and bones were examined, the bodies were put back in their place, put in order, and the graves were reburied.

Wooden plaques bearing the names of the deceased are erected.

Di Ying and the others went to the mountain stream more than a hundred meters away to clean up.

Peng Liang saw that Wei Xiuyi was still standing like that, so he asked his own adult in a low voice: "Then Lord Wei, what is going on?" Looking at him, it's almost like looking at this piece of land. ”

Di Ying shook his head and replied lightly: "It doesn't matter what happens to him, as long as you don't make trouble for us." ”

"Hah!"

Nie Bowei screamed: "My lord, why are you talking the same as that King Lu?" Even the tone is exactly the same. It seems that not adding chaos is the style of Xingzhou officialdom, right? ”

Di Ying glanced at him: "When did you learn to be smart?" ”

Nie Bo laughed.

Di Ying has reason to suspect: If it weren't for the fact that his hands were really dirty, Nie Bo estimated that he would be scratching his scalp at this time.

"My lord, why don't you send him back? It's awkward to look at him like that. ”

After Nie Bohan finished laughing, he asked again.

Di Ying: "...... Let him learn more. He's not a stupid one. In addition to the rules in handling affairs, he also has some of his own ways of dealing with things.

Do ...... Not bad, actually. I hope that one day, when he is willing to 'cause trouble' to Shangguan, he will be able to show his true nature. At that time, it should be a good parent official. ”

Peng Liang and the others glanced deeply at their own adults, and sighed in their hearts: Adults of their family......

Di Ying was also sighing.

How could such a case with obvious characteristics not be solved?

Just because you can't "make trouble" for Shangguan?

So...... How many unsolved cases have been piled up in this Xingzhou Mansion?

No wonder the Criminal Department didn't send someone down to investigate, I'm afraid that as soon as they saw the word Xingzhou written on the case file, they simply shelved it and ignored it, right?

Who is the secretary of the criminal department?

Shu Guogong, Wei Juyuan!!

Who?

The clan relatives of the crown princess Webster are also one of her confidants.

When Di Ying thought of this, she wanted to scold in her heart.

But I held it back again.

Anyway, now he can't do anything except solve the case honestly.

Above his head, there was a giant elephant that could easily be trampled to death.

If you want to pull the elephant, there is still a long way to go, and there is a lot of resistance.

Sighing, Di Ying walked back to Wei Xiuyi's side, and really took the local instructions to him: "Among the nine families, those uncrowned boys who have had their nakedness removed, you go and check if they have committed any disasters related to forcible harm before August of last year?" ”
