No matter what kind of police force you have, you can't see that the victim is a child.

Chen Anning is the same.

He was the same.

After calling the Yulin Army and carrying out all the children's bodies, Xie Xun commanded the cleanup of the 'battlefield' again.

The sky was bright.

The sunlight shines through the 'holes' made by the stone rollers.

The underground Colosseum is illuminated in full view.

The iron cages of several 'orchards', in the blood and rust, look particularly hideous and terrifying.

Even the iron-clad Yulin Army couldn't help but redden.

The bones of the Colosseum will be cleaned up for a few days.

It was mid-to-late May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter day by day. Corpses are exposed to the air, which can easily cause various viruses and plagues.

After cleaning up the 'battlefield' and making sure that no evidence was missing, Xie Xun ordered all the places to be buried except for the Colosseum.

And with the exposure of the underground Colosseum, the capital has set off an uproar.

Despite the fact that the Yulin Army maintained order, the people who rushed to claim the children and the people from all walks of life who came to join in the fun still surrounded the Peace Square.

Chen Anning didn't care about the noise of the outside world, nor did he care about the dust and smoke that fell on his body.

She crouched in front of the bones of the Colosseum, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, silently and indifferently piecing together the corpses.

Behind her, eleven elderly servants looked at her helplessly and admiringly.

Let them examine the cause of death of the body, and all of them are very good. But piecing together a pair of bones against a pile of white bones is obviously embarrassing them.

When I first came over, I heard her instructions and thought it was deliberately making things difficult.

But at the moment......

"Second Miss Chen," the bearded man asked respectfully with the gray surname Liu, "you still tell us to do something." ”

The rest of the work was echoed.

Chen Anning asked without raising his head, "What can you do?" ”

The surname Liu stopped for a moment.

yes, what can they do.

They can't do anything.

After fighting the bones at hand, Chen Anning raised his stiff neck, looked back at the group of servants who were quite at a loss, and after a moment of silence, he commanded in a hoarse voice: "The bones can't fight, and there is nothing to do, so clean up these bones and put the same bones together." ”

The servants received the order and immediately dispersed and got busy.

Chen Anning paused for a moment, shook off the dirt from her sleeves and prepared to wipe her sweat, and a handkerchief fell on her forehead one step ahead of her.

"Get up and rest for a while." After wiping the sweat off her face, Xie Xun pulled her up without saying anything.

Chen Anning glanced at the seven corpses that had been pieced together, and then at the sun that was gradually slanting westward, and held his arm and whispered a good word.

From yesterday to now, she has been piecing together fourteen hours in a row.

The leg was already numb to the point of losing consciousness.

The nerves have already been stretched to the extreme.

Chen Anning closed his eyes, and after holding back the rolling dizziness, he was about to take a step.

After Xie Xun sighed silently, he picked her up, toe lightly, and flew out of the Colosseum.

Carrying her to the side of the Colosseum, the courtyard that temporarily served as a command and dispatch center, and after putting her in a chair, he instructed Hexiang: "Go and bring the warm ginseng soup and porridge." ”

Instructed Chunrui and Chuntao: "Go and prepare hot water." ”

He also instructed the four maidservants specially transferred by Princess Guangling: "Go and prepare the change of clothes, and then make the bed." ”

After a few handmaidens dispersed and were busy, Xie Xun came over again, and while cleaning up the floating soil on her body, he said, "I know that you feel uncomfortable, so I haven't stopped you." But as you can see, the patchwork of bones can only depend on you. If you fall, you'll have to stop there. ”

Chen Anning teased in a dumb voice: "This is the purpose of you calling those puppets over?" ”

After shaking off the floating soil on her body, Xie Xun took off the hairpin on her head again, and began to shake the dirt in her hair for her: "I wanted to reduce your burden, but I didn't expect them to be so useless." ”

"It's just that I don't know about human bones, and it's not useless." Chen Anning said fairly.

It is also her fault that she really has no intention of teaching in such an environment, and it is not their fault that she seriously investigates it.

After shaking the dirt from his hair, Xie Xun poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to her.

Chen Anning took it and looked at him with a smile while drinking, "Master Xie is quite good at taking care of people." ”

"For the first time in my life," Xie Xun called someone in, and after cleaning up all the mud and sand on the ground, he teased, "If there is a place that is not well taken care of, please take care of Miss Chen Er." ”

Chen Anning chuckled twice and did not say anything more.

Moment.

Hexiang came in with ginseng soup and porridge, as well as a few side dishes.

After Chen Anning ate slowly, she let Chunrui and Chun Tao come over to help her take a bath.

After bathing, changing clothes, and getting into bed, Chen Anning closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xie Xun instructed the maid from the Guangling Palace: "Light the incense." ”

Nevertheless.

Chen Anning only slept for two hours before waking up.

The dress on her body was inconvenient to move, so after asking Chunrui to find a men's suit for her to change into, she went to the Colosseum.

Day after day.

Soon a month passed.

With the best help of the servants, all the bones were pieced together.

A total of 273 skeletons were pieced together.

The bones were all between twelve and sixteen years old.

Among them were one hundred and fifty-seven bones of a maiden, and one hundred and sixteen of those of a young man.

Coupled with the boys and girls rescued and the boys and girls who were killed in the process of rescue, the number far exceeds the data of missing children recorded in Dali Temple!

In the past month, the ultra-high load and the busyness of the continuous rotation made Chen Anning, who had already become numb and indifferent, couldn't help but jerk his heart when he saw the nearly 300 skeletons arranged in a neat row.

So many children......

If one child represents one family, that's nearly three hundred families.

And that's not even counting the children who died in the rescue.

Looking at the rows of corpses and bones with the busy servants, they couldn't help but redden.

A few grumpy old men turned their fatigue into unsightly swear words and went crazy.

Chen Anning didn't have the strength to scold, or even to speak.

After registering all the bones, she left the Colosseum without looking back, took a hot bath in the temporary command and dispatch center, and after eating, she fell asleep with her head covered.

This sleep is two days and two nights.

After waking up, she didn't inquire about the progress of the investigation of the case, nor did she greet Xie Xun and Wen Qinsang, Xu Zhan, Wen Baolin and others who came to help, and went home in the carriage alone.

When she got home, she had eaten and drunk enough, and she fell asleep again.

This made Qiu, who had not seen her for nearly a month and a half, and after hearing that she was back, he couldn't wait to come and inquire about the specific situation.

"This child, the General's Mansion and the Hou Mansion invited her to a banquet, but she didn't go. I haven't been home for so long, and I finally came back, and I didn't come to say hello, so I slept again. Qiu tilted his head unwillingly, and muttered while probing into the depths of Qingzhi Courtyard, "Does she still have this home in her heart, does she have a mother like me?" ”

The two maidservants who guarded the door dutifully stopped her and did not let her go any further.

Qiu couldn't, so he had to go back.

Chen Anning slept for another two days.
