Xu Jing said lightly: "Xiao Shilang, the agitation method is useless. The corpses inside have been left for half a month on such a summer day, and the corpse gas emitted from the body is even afraid of mice, let alone me, a weak woman. ”

Yat Siu: "......"

Every time he heard this woman call herself a weak woman, Xiao Yat had a rare subtle feeling.

"We're all here, don't be in a hurry, let Chen Hu bring things over and talk about it.

Now I'm more concerned about ......"

Xu Jing groaned: "How did the murderer know that the deceased would be left alone one day, and then follow the past to kill?"

Just like today's case, he clearly knew that the deceased who would have gone out to sell pork during the day was home alone because he was unwell, and he also clearly knew that Cheng Niangzi would pass by the deceased's house near the deceased's house every day at that time.

That's why he was able to set up such a perfect game. ”

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "Xu Niangzi is right, the murderer knows the whereabouts of the deceased well, and he must have conducted a lot of investigation in the early stage, or he had followed the deceased for a period of time.

The situation of the deceased in that case four days ago is similar, he is the old lady of the Fang family in Anping County, who was an official in the court when he was young, and achieved the highest position of Suizhou Assassin History, and returned to Anping County after leaving the officialdom.

According to his family, he was very short-tempered during this period because of his physical discomfort, and four days ago, he was recuperating in the Fang family's Zhuangzi outside the city, because of some disputes with his eldest son, who came to visit him, he ran out alone and disappeared. ”

Xu Jing was slightly stunned and said, "It's not the first time he's run out like this?" ”

"That's right," Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh a little, "his family said that he had been living in Zhuangzi for a while, but whenever a junior in the family visited him, he would have a dispute with the junior.

Especially his eldest son, who is forty years old this year and has not yet obtained a half-official position, and every time the old man sees him, his temper will be very short-tempered, and he will quarrel nine times out of ten. ”

Although he had already realized it, Xiao Yat would still be amazed by this woman's sensitivity to the case from time to time.

"In this way, the murderer is very aware of the affairs of the Fang family, and he also clearly knows that the eldest man of the Fang family will go to visit Old Man Fang that day."

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows, and suddenly said meaningfully: "This kind of thing of visiting the elders is generally only known to the family, and the news of this murderer is not ordinarily well-informed." ”

This kind of thing is not something that can be known by tracking the deceased.

Xiao Yi nodded, "That's right, I later confirmed with the Fang family that the time for the Fang family to visit Old Man Fang is not fixed, in fact, because the father and son have a bad relationship, the Fang family is very reluctant to visit Old Man Fang."

That day, it was his wife who said two days ago that Fang Dalang hadn't visited Old Man Fang for more than half a month, and after some persuasion, he agreed to take a trip when he was free in two days. ”

Xu Jing immediately looked at Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and continued: "I have already asked the Fang family, who knows that Fang Dalang is going to visit Old Man Fang, and most of the people who know about this matter are only the people of the Fang family, because the relationship between father and son is not a decent thing, and the Fang family never talks about the matter between Fang Dalang and Old Man Fang outside.

However, there were also many servants of the Fang family who knew about this matter, and it was difficult to say whether they had spread it outside, or chatted outside. ”

What Xiao Yat means is that if the murderer has a heart, it is not completely impossible to find out the news.

Xu Jing said coldly: "That's right, things are man-made, if a person has a heart, there is nothing that cannot be done."

But what Xiao Shilang just said was all the private matters in the Fang family's mansion, even if some servants said it outside, it was impossible to say it so completely, and if someone kept chasing the servants to ask about these things, it was impossible for the servants not to notice that something was wrong. ”

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

"I think that the murderer is likely to be able to enter and leave the Fang family's mansion at will, and it is very likely that he has been in and out of the Fang family's mansion more than once, so he unknowingly heard so many private affairs of the Fang family, without attracting the attention of the Fang family."

Xiao Yi's brows furrowed suddenly, "Xu Niangzi is saying that the murderer may be from the Fang family?" ”

"No, among the deceased, there is only one Old Man Fang who is related to the Fang family, and I am more inclined to be someone who can enter and leave the Fang family outside. For example, guests of the Fang family, merchants who have business cooperation with the Fang family, doctors, or various craftsmen and woodcutters. ”

Xu Jing muttered.

It's just that this range is not small, and it takes a lot of effort to investigate.

At this moment, Chen Hu came back happily with what Xu Jing wanted, Xu Jing asked for a copper basin, atractylodes, soaphorns, a small basin of soaphorn water, gloves for the purpose of the work, and a few clean towels.

She first put atractylodes and soaphorn into a copper basin and lit it, and asked Chen Hu to put the copper basin in the room and let it burn for a while, and then tied it to her face with a towel, covered her mouth and nose, and put on gloves.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but stare at Xu Jing, some of the confusion that had been put aside when he decided to let the dark guard stop following her filled his heart little by little.

Many of them will make similar preparations before the autopsy.

Looking at the proficiency of this woman, it is said that she used to live by autopsy, but I am afraid that no one will doubt it.

Seeing that Xu Jing was ready to go in, Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, also tied his mouth and nose with a towel, and followed in.

In the small room, there were only three corpses, and there were several wooden barrels around the room, which were filled with ice, so that as soon as you walked into the room, it felt cold.

Xiao Yi explained: "This is a serious case of the imperial court, in order to facilitate the investigation of the case, a room was deliberately vacated to place the corpses related to the case, so only these three corpses were placed in this room.

From left to right, Lu Fuzi, who was killed half a month ago, Mrs. Fang, who was killed four days ago, and Zhu Dalang, who was killed today. ”

The corpses were covered with white cloths, and if Xiao Yi didn't explain, Xu Jing really didn't know who was who for a while.

After listening to Xiao Yi, she immediately walked to the corpse in the middle and said, "Zhu Dalang's body has been burned in half, and some of the features on it have been burned.

Lu Fuzi's body has been left for so many days, and the decomposition must be the most serious.

The easiest thing to find out was the corpse of Old Lady Fang. ”

As she spoke, she lifted her hand and lifted the white cloth that covered it.

Chen Hu was suddenly surprised: "What happened to Old Lady Fang's corpse...... How did this happen?! ”

He was called by Xiao Yi this time because he had helped Xu Jing in the last Peng Shi case.

As a county official, although he has seen a lot of corpses, he is not a professional and is not familiar with the various changes in corpses.

He remembered that when Old Lady Fang's body was just carried back, it was still normal, how could it be ...... at this time It seems to be swollen around, especially in the chest and abdomen, and it is bulging like those pregnant women!

The eyeballs protrude, the lips seem to be enlarged and turned outward, and the tongue is ...... The tongue is sticking out!

The color of the skin also shows a faint green, which is indescribably disgusting to look at.

Xu Jing said lightly: "The corpse has been kept for four days in such a season, and now it is rare to become like this. ”

The corpse's giant view is not serious, and I think it is thanks to the ice that has filled the entire room.

Xiao Yi, as a waiter in the criminal department, still knew that this was a normal change in the corpse, and couldn't help but look at Xu Jing deeply, "Xu Niangzi knows what kind of phenomenon this is?" ”

"Giant view."

Xu Jing has always been an efficiency faction, and he has begun to start from the head of the corpse, carefully inspecting every inch of his body, "To put it simply, the organs in the body begin to decay after death, releasing a large amount of dirty green putrefactive gas, which fills the human body, and naturally makes the human body bulge like blowing a ball."

The giant view of this corpse is still in its infancy, and in severe cases, the skin will even break apart, huh...... It's like a ball being blown apart. ”

Chen Hu was dumbfounded, and he didn't know what expression to use to express his heart.

How did say the most powerful words with the most indifferent expressions?

He felt that he would probably not be able to look directly at the ball in the future!

Xiao Yi's eyes couldn't help but become deeper and deeper.

It's just that he knows that even if he asks where she knows these things, he will only get a sentence of "Xiao Shilang wants to read more books".

Oh, if such a book really exists, how could the imperial court let it go to the people, and it would have been copied into several copies and distributed to the major yamen!

At this time, Xu Jing had already finished checking the deceased's head, she stood up straight, looked at Chen Hu and said very naturally: "Chen Langjun, I took off the deceased's clothes." ”
