Chapter 35 The True Corpse

Youzhou Prefecture Ya.

When Chen Yutian came to the door with the dragon guard, Ling Yuntian was suddenly taken aback.

"Tatsu-sama, I don't know if you are ......"

His eyes swept over the bodies of these dragon guards, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Chen Yutian's gourd.

But Chen Yutian smiled slightly.

"It's nothing, just to tell Lord Ling a bad news. Just last night, Han Yanzuo was assassinated by Flower Butterfly. ”

Ling Yuntian's eyes suddenly tightened when he heard this.

"How so?"

"Alas...... It's a long story......"

Chen Yutian sighed, but did not elaborate on the matter.

Instead, he directly took Long Wei, Gongsun and Huo Yuanji to the autopsy room where Han Yanzuo usually worked.

"You are guarding the door, and no one is allowed to enter without my permission. Got it?"

"Understood!"

The dragon guards responded in unison!

Ling Yuntian stood outside the door, his expression showing a slight groan.

"Alas...... I don't know how many clues there are in this autopsy room, but this Lord Qincha actually runs here every day......"

A voice whined.

Fang Jing walked over slowly and whispered to Ling Yuntian:

"My lord, do you think he will ......?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ling Yuntian's mouth!

"Shut up, how can you guess what your lord is thinking?"

"Yes! Yes! The villain knew he was wrong. ”

Fang Jing's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed in apology.

Inside the autopsy room.

Icehouse.

Next to the simple wooden bed where Bai Xiuxiu's body was placed, Chen Yutian slowly squatted down.

Then, the essence in his eyes flashed slightly!

"Sure enough......" he smiled.

Gongsun and Huo Yuan were extremely curious, and they also squatted down with him, and then their faces showed a touch of disbelief.

I saw that under the wooden bed, a flat wooden box was tightly upside down against the bed board of the wooden bed.

The wooden box is not too big, and even if it is tightly attached to the bed board, it is difficult to see its existence if you don't look closely.

"Great, finally found!"

Huo Yuanji reached out and took the wooden box off the bed board.

It turned out that one side of the wooden box was covered with paste, and it was in the ice cellar that made the wooden box firmly adhere to the bed board and prevent it from falling.

"However, my lord, how do you know that this thing is hidden here, and not in Han Leng's own house?"

Gongsun looked at the wooden box, pondered for a moment, and asked.

"It's very simple, in fact, Han Leng told me about this before he died. ”

Smiling slightly, Chen Yutian reached out and took the wooden box in Gongsun's hand.

"Oh?"

The essence in Gongsun's eyes flashed.

"What do you mean by an adult...... That strange gesture?"

"Hmm. Including that gesture, but that's only part of the overall implication. Chen Yutian nodded.

"Part of it?"

Huo Yuan was extremely surprised.

"That's right, that gesture to the ground is only part of the whole hint. The whole hint was divided into three parts, the other two parts were Han Leng's own corpse and the last two words he uttered. ”

"Corpses?" and the last words?"

Huo Yuanji crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.

Gongsun also touched his chin, and a slight groan flashed in his eyes.

"That's right. If you think about it carefully, Han Leng's body fell to the ground, pointed to the ground with his finger, and said two words, 'here'. In this case, whoever sees it at first glance will definitely think that he is saying that there is something under the ground. Right?"

"That's right. ”

The two nodded.

"Including us and the people who were the first to do this morning, they all thought that way at first. ”

"But because of that, we overlooked a very heavy matter!"

Chen Yutian said lightly.

"Something important?"

Gongsun and Huo Yuanji glanced at each other, and they both felt a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

"What's important?"

"Please think carefully about what Han Leng said before he was assassinated by the flower butterfly......

Chen Yutian reminded the two.

The two thought about it carefully, and before Han Leng was stabbed, he seemed to be talking...... There are words about who is behind the man.

Suddenly, their eyes flashed at the same time!

They remembered.

At that time, Han Leng's original words were: "Yes, I know. But I can't tell you that I know his methods very well, and that as soon as I say his name, I will die immediately......"

"I see!"

Gongsun suddenly realized!

Chen Yutian also nodded.

That's right, his words at that time have fully explained that he already knew that he would be killed by that mastermind behind the scenes, and with his understanding of that person, he must have thought that once he died, his home would definitely be searched. ”

So, I infer from this that it is very likely that he did not hide things in his own home. ”

"Makes sense!!"

Huo Yuanji nodded in agreement.

Chen Yutian continued to explain while opening the wooden box in his hand.

"Since he didn't hide anything in the house, it's clear that we misinterpreted his hints. So I rethought the whole suggestion, and finally I realized that the so-called suggestion was actually complete only if he added his own corpse. ”

"Oh?"

"Actually, the whole suggestion, together with his own corpse, is a truly complete suggestion. And the whole implication is explained as ......"

As he spoke, Chen Yutian pointed to Bai Xiuxiu's corpse.

"Something underneath the corpse!!"

"That's the correct explanation for the whole implication!!"

As soon as Chen Yutian said a word, Huo Yuanji and Gongsun suddenly widened their eyes!

Indeed, Han Leng's finger at that time was indeed pointing to a floor tile under his corpse.

Therefore, Chen Yutian's solution does work.

As for why I thought of this through the corpse, it's even simpler.

After all, since the thing is not in his home, it means that it is not under his own corpse.

And the place where he often moves on weekdays, the only place that can get involved with the corpse is the coroner's office of the state government.

"However, how did you know that the thing was hidden under the bed of Bai Xiuxiu's corpse?"

Gongsun thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why Chen Yutian came directly to Bai Xiuxiu's corpse bed as soon as he entered the ice cellar just now, obviously there were a lot of corpses here!

"This ......"

Chen Yutian smiled, a little helpless.

"Actually, I guessed. Because Han Leng will be killed, it is entirely because he has done things on Bai Xiuxiu's corpse, so I guess that if he hides something, he should hide it under Bai Xiuxiu's corpse. “

"So, you're taking a gamble this time?"

"Hmm. Simply, I'm right!"

As he spoke, Chen Yutian picked up his right hand.

In his hands, he was holding several blank sheets of paper.

It was taken from the wooden box that was found.

Gongsun took a look at these papers, and his eyes suddenly flashed with dazzling brilliance.

"This ...... This is...... Bai Xiuxiu's real corpse!"

"What?"

Huo Yuanji was taken aback, and then leaned over to carefully look at the contents of those few pieces of paper.

This is indeed a corpse!

Moreover, the name column of the corpse grid is indeed written with the three words Bai Xiuxiu!

The most important thing is that in the column of the cause of death of the deceased, the cause of death is not the strangulation they saw before, but the following words:

"Based on the preliminary inference of the deceased's injuries, it should have been pushed down from stairs and other places to death. ”

"The fatal wound was in the back of the head. ”

Seeing such words, everyone immediately determined that this was indeed a real corpse. Not the counterfeits that were faked before.

"Look here!"

Huo Yuanji pointed to the time of death column on the corpse grid and shouted.

Chen Yutian and Gongsun followed his direction.

I saw six words written on it.

Around the time of the night unitary

Seeing this, Chen Yutian finally understood.

It turned out that in addition to the hands and feet found before, even the time of death of the corpse was faked.

According to the time of death on this corpse, when the deceased died, Liu Jingyan had not yet gone out.

Then of course he can't be a murderer.

In this case, why did Ling Yuntian insist that Liu Jingyan killed someone at that time?

Was it just because of the items he picked up that belonged to the dead?

But if those things were really picked up by Liu Jingyan, then who deliberately took the deceased's belongings and threw them on the road?

It was Han Leng who was doing the manipulation on the corpse.

Then it should be him who took the belongings from the corpse.

After he took these things, he should have handed them over to the messenger behind the scenes.

And why does this person have to blame Liu Jingyan?

Wait, blame...... Could it be that the real murderer of Bai Xiuxiu is actually the mastermind behind this......

He first killed people and threw corpses, and then used gambling debts and the new rule that no one in the public was allowed to gamble to blackmail Han Leng into doing things on the corpse and take away his belongings......

No, no, it doesn't make sense!

Chen Yutian shook his head, rejecting this reasoning.

What if ...... Did he take the deceased's belongings after the killing, then throw the corpse into the wilderness, and finally forced Han Leng to do something on the corpse, so as to wronged the wronged boss who picked up the deceased's belongings?

But in this way, how to explain the footprints of the four groups of men at the scene?

It can't be four people killing people, right?

Chen Yutian felt that his brain was like a mess, and he couldn't figure it out at all.

But at this moment, Huo Yuanji suddenly thought of something!

"By the way, why did it be the flower butterfly who assassinated Han Leng last night?"

"What do you mean?"

Gongsun didn't know why, and asked.

"I mean...... The case involved in Han Leng is obviously the murder of Bai Xiuxiu, this case should have nothing to do with Hua Butterfly, why did Hua Butterfly suddenly come to assassinate Han Leng last night?"

After listening, Gongsun was also stunned!

That's right! All along, the case involved in Hua Butterfly is the case of the guest village, and it has nothing to do with Bai Xiuxiu's murder.

But why did she kill last night?

Thinking about it, Gongsun remembered what the Bai brothers and sisters had said before.

Because we heard before that the person who was able to provide an alibi to the murderer was assassinated by Flower Butterfly...... Moreover, the two running boys who worked in the inn on the day of Xiaomei's disappearance, as well as the innkeeper, were assassinated by her...... So we suspect that she has something to do with the murder of my little sister, so we ......."

"The day Bai Xiuxiu disappeared happened to be the fifth day of the second month, and those guests in the guest village house were killed, also because of a mysterious incident that happened on the fifth day of the second month, the two happened so coincidentally on the fifth day of the second month, what is the connection?"

Gongsun groaned.

"In Bai Xiuxiu's case, after Han Leng's words, it is certain that there must be a mastermind behind it. ”

"In the case of Hakka Residence, through the analysis of the behavior of the flower butterfly, it is also certain that there is someone behind it. Otherwise, with her reputation in the rivers and lakes, she would not have done such a thing. ”

"Both cases have masterminds behind the scenes, and both are able to mobilize Flower Butterfly to carry out the assassination mission......"

"That's really ...... What a coincidence......"

"Isn't it ......"

Thinking of this, Gongsun's mind immediately came to mind an incredible, but the most reasonable.

At this time, Huo Yuanji also hesitated to say his thoughts.

"You say...... These two cases, could it be that they were originally the same case......"

He looked at Gongsun with some uncertainty.

Gongsun's eyes flickered for a long time, but he still couldn't give an answer.

"If that's the case, then this case is too interesting......

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

I saw that Chen Yutian had finished thinking for some time, and looked at the two with a smile.

"But...... I also think it will be like this, after all, there are too many coincidences between these two things...... We need to look into it. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun and Huo Yuanji glanced at each other and looked at him at the same time.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Yutian smiled faintly.

"I'm going to ...... Let's go back to the museum first......"

"After all...... It is not very convenient to speak here. ”

After the words fell, he smiled slightly and walked out of the ice cellar.

Gongsun and Huo Yuanji glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of helplessness in each other's eyes.

Then he put away the corpse he found, and left with Huo Yuanji after him......

As soon as he came out of the autopsy room, he saw Ling Yuntian coming up with a square mirror.

"Tatsu-sama, are you done?"

"Not bad. By the way, Lord Ling, what Han Cheng did, because of some special reasons, it is inconvenient to tell you, please forgive me. ”

"It's okay. ”

"Since that's the case, then I won't bother Lord Ling, if there is anything else, this official will come to the government again to ask for advice. Say goodbye first, please!"

After speaking, Chen Yutian left with the dragon guards.

Ling Yuntian and Fang Jing watched a large number of people leave in a majestic manner, each thinking in their hearts.

"My lord, look at this ......"

Fang Jing hugged his fists slightly and said respectfully to Ling Yuntian.

Ling Yuntian glanced back at the autopsy room.

"Fang Master Book. ”

"In. ”

"Turning around to recruit a servant for the government, Han Leng died, but our government can't do without a servant. ”

"Understood. ”

When the words fell, Ling Yuntian turned around and left.

As he was leaving, he said something as if he were laughing at himself.

"If you are a pawn like me, you should never guess what is in your handsome mind. As long as you follow the orders of the commander step by step, you can win this game of chess. ”

By the time the words fell, the others were no longer in the courtyard.

But the square mirror was suddenly earthy, and a few drops of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
