Everyone was surprised and looked at Gongsun in unison. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gongsun walked in unhurriedly, picked up a chair and sat down, and asked Ling Miaoyin: "In Xia Gongsun Yu, dare to ask the girl who found the bones?"

"Exactly. Ling Miaoyin replied.

"Then may I ask the girl, that skeleton corpse, but it is buried in the ground, and it is on Qifeng Mountain outside the city?" Gongsun continued to ask.

"Exactly, how did the gentleman find out?"

Ling Miaoyin was surprised, knowing that it was not difficult for the bone corpse to be buried in the ground, after all, anyone who saw the soil on the bone corpse might have this conjecture.

However, it is surprising to know from it that Qifeng Mountain, the place where the corpse is buried.

Even when Ling Miaoyin told the story, he didn't say where he found it, but only in general terms, it was found in a barren mountain.

Under normal circumstances, if she doesn't reveal the exact location, no one can know.

However, the person in front of him had not heard her story, but he said the specific location where the bones and corpses were found.

This naturally surprised her.

Gongsun smiled slightly and said, "This is not strange. ”

"I found some rotting blood spirit grass rhizomes in the dirt above the bones. Although the blood spirit grass is common, it grows in the Qifeng Mountains around Lingshui County. I often go there to collect medicine, so I know about it. ”

"I see. ”

Ling Miaoyin nodded slightly.

Chen Yutian groaned slightly, then looked at Gongsun and said, "Mr. Gongsun, you just said that bone corpses do not naturally form bones, how can you say this?"

Gongsun arched his hand and smiled, and said, "My lord, the reason why the student said that after the death of the Guyin, it will take at least ten years, or even longer, to decay into bones. Some of the bones will become crispy, or even preserved, and will rot along with the flesh. ”

"But this skeleton, which the students examined carefully, showed that the bones were hard and well preserved. It will be buried in the soil for no more than five days!"

"In such a short period of time, it is only possible to turn bone powder into a medicinal powder such as bone powder. ”

Everyone nodded slightly.

Only Xuan Xi was a little confused.

"Mr. Gongsun, isn't this bone powder claimed to be that even the bones will be turned into nothing, why does this corpse still have bones to preserve?"

Gongsun smiled and said, "Gong...... The young lady didn't know anything. Although bone meal can reduce ossification to nothing, it requires a process. ”

"How do you say this?" Xuan Xi asked.

"Under normal circumstances, bone powder will corrode all the flesh and blood of the corpse, but it will preserve the bones, and after that, as long as the bones are buried in the soil, within ten days, they will truly disappear!" Huo Yuanji opened his mouth to explain.

"I see. Then how did Mr. Gongsun know that the bones had been buried in the ground for no more than five days?" Xuan Xi asked again.

Huo Yuanji and the others also looked at Gongsun with puzzled eyes, and they didn't know much about this either.

Gongsun said with a smile: "Because, while corroding the corpse, it will also destroy the internal structure of the bone, making it hard and extraordinary. However, this hardness is only temporary, and once it comes into contact with the soil, the bones will quickly melt and decay, and after about eight days, they will turn into ashes. ”

"The bones that had been hit by the bone meal began to crisp rapidly after being buried in the ground for about five days, and the bones of the corpse were as hard as usual, so it can be seen that they have not yet begun to crisp quickly. Therefore, it should be buried in the ground for less than five days. ”

After hearing this, Xuan Xi nodded, and a sudden look appeared in his eyes.

"In addition, the cause of death of the bone corpse should be a sword to seal the throat, and there is a deep sword mark in the part of its neck bone, and the murderer should be very proficient in swordsmanship, otherwise it would not be so neat. Gongsun said again.

Chen Yutian listened to it and groaned.

After a long time, he spoke: "Wang Zhutou, immediately investigate the missing persons in this county within three days to see if you can find out the identity of this bone corpse." ”

Wang Yi answered in a low voice.

Immediately, Chen Yutian said to Ling Miaoyin again: "Miss Ling, it's not too early, we will start investigating this case, and ask the girl to go back and rest first." ”

The meaning of his words was very obvious, and Ling Miaoyin could naturally hear it.

Since this is the case, the little sister will leave first. ”

Ling Miaoyin hugged her fists at Chongchen Yutian and left immediately.

Seeing him leave, everyone's faces were relieved.

Chen Yutian looked at everyone and said, "Let's talk about tonight's case." Mr. Gongsun, did you find anything else from the corpse?"

"Nope. Gongsun shook his head, "The findings of the preliminary autopsy are only those mentioned before, and the other findings will not be known until further post-mortem examinations." ”

Chen Yutian nodded, his eyes looking at Wu Dongtian.

"Brother Wu's discovery is a very important clue, it seems that we need to visit that shopkeeper Wu again tomorrow......" A strange light flashed in Chen Yutian's eyes.

Everyone nodded.

Wu Liang kept saying that Ma Zhiyun was not a descendant of the five guards, but Ma Zhiyun's home found a fake of an empty painting of one of the five tigers.

This matter really needs to be explained by Wu Liang.

......

......

The next day, Chen Yutian and Wang Yi came to the guest house early.

Wu Liang is in the restaurant, preparing for the opening of the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper Wu, there are many disturbances in this county. Chen Yutian walked into the restaurant and said to Wu Liang.

"Yo, isn't this Lord Chen? I said why there was a magpie early this morning, it turned out that a noble person came to the door. Adults can come to the shop, it's really splendid. Wu Liang hurriedly caught up.

"Xiaolin, why don't you find a clean place for the adults and say hello well. Wu Liang commanded Xiao Er on the side.

Chen Yutian stretched out his hand to stop Wu Liang.

"Shopkeeper Wu doesn't have to be polite, this county is not here today to drink tea, but to ask the shopkeeper for advice. Please also ask the shopkeeper to find a clean place where he can talk alone. ”

Wu Liang listened, nodded, and took Chen Yutian and the others straight up to the second floor and entered a guest room that had no guests.

"My lord, this place is clean, if there are any questions, it doesn't hurt to ask. Wu Liang closed the door and said in a low voice.

Chen Yutian smiled and said, "Okay, since Shopkeeper Wu is so refreshing, then this county will not beat around the bush." Shopkeeper Wu, do you know this thing?"

As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his sleeve.

When I opened it, it was the empty painting hanging on the wall of Ma Zhiyun's house.

"My lord, isn't this an empty painting hanging at the scene of every case? Wu Liang glanced at the empty painting and said with a smile.

"Take a closer look. Chen Yutian reminded.

Wu Liang took a serious look at this empty painting, and suddenly, his complexion changed greatly!

"This ...... Isn't this an imprint that only exists on the Five Tigers? Could it be that the real painting corresponding to this empty painting is one of the Five Tigers?"

"This ...... My lord, where did you find this empty painting?"

"It seems that Shopkeeper Wu has seen it. Chen Yutian said with a smile.

Wu nodded: "Yes." That day, the dragon leaf seal was personally imprinted by His Majesty Taizu, and I would never admit my mistake. My lord, where did you find this painting?"

"Since Shopkeeper Wu asked, the county will not sell Guanzi. Chen Yutian paused, and said, "This painting was found in the place where the murder happened last night, that is, the home of Ma Zhiyun, who was killed before!"

Wu Liang was taken aback, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

"Brother Ma, no, this is impossible, he, he is obviously not the descendant of the five guards!

"This is exactly what the county wants to ask the treasurer. Chen Yutian's eyes narrowed slightly, not angry and arrogant.

"This ......" Wu Liang's heart sank, his expression was a little nervous, and after a moment, his eyes flashed, and he exclaimed, "I know, Brother Ma may be the descendant of one of the two families who moved here......"

Chen Yutian sighed and looked at Wu Liang expressionlessly.

Wu Liang hurriedly knelt down and explained, "My lord, the grass people lied last time. In fact, two of the five guards moved out of this place twenty years ago, and only three actually live in Lingshui County. They are the Li family, the Jia family and my Wu family. ”

"You mean, Ma Zhiyun is the descendant of the other two?" Chen Yutian remained silent, "You wait for the five families, can you have the surname Ma?"

"The grass people don't know. After all, our ancestors lived here incognito, and it was common for us to change our names and surnames. Wu Liang shook his head.

Chen Yutian nodded secretly, Wu Liang's words were indeed reasonable.

"I see, it seems that the county is too worried. Chen Yutian breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Liang also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Now that I know what happened, there are still important things in this county, I won't stay anymore. Chen Yutian stood up.

"Grass people send off my lord!" Wu Liang also stood up, bowed his hand, and then went out of the guest room with Wang Yi and the three of them, and went downstairs.

As soon as he got out of the guest room, a slightly surprised voice sounded in Chen Yutian's ears.

"Tatsu-sama, why are you here?"

Chen Yutian was stunned, and even when he saw the room opposite the guest room, the door was slightly open, and a beautiful woman in white stood at the door.

It was Ling Miaoyin, the descendant of the Sword Saint I saw last night!

"Miss Ling, meet again. Chen Yutian smiled, "I didn't expect that the inn where Miss Ling stayed was this place." ”

Ling Miaoyin also smiled, and immediately looked at Wang Yi and Wu Liang behind him, and asked, "Lord Chen, ...... are you?"

"Chen has some official business that needs to be consulted by the shopkeeper Wu, but he has already finished asking for advice. Chen Yutian said with a smile.

"I see. Ling Miaoyin smiled slightly, and immediately confessed to Chen Yutian and went downstairs by herself.

Chen Yutian and Wang Yi walked out of the restaurant under Wu Liang's respect.

"The king catches the head. As soon as Chen Yutian came out of the restaurant, he shouted.

"What do you command?"

Chen Yutian whispered a few words in Wang Yi's ear, and Wang Yi's face immediately changed!

"Don't ask, go ahead and do it......" Chen Yutian shook his head.

After that, the two left the area.

Soon, under the leadership of Wang Yi, a team of arresters secretly surrounded the restaurant and secretly monitored every move in the restaurant.

Ling Miaoyin, who was on the second floor of the restaurant, condescendingly saw all this in her eyes, and a faint smile lifted up at the corner of her mouth......
