Republic of China

Chapter 230 The ferocious female corpse
  "What's wrong?" Ding held his chin and thought about it, "There are too many wrong things. What do you want to ask about?"

many?
  The brothers looked at each other.

This is a brothel and not a graveyard, so how many evil things can happen?
  "Tell me."

"A sister in the theater troupe eloped with a wild man, but later found out that the other man was not a man; there was a sister in Fuyulou whose breasts suddenly grew several times. They used to be small melons, but now they are big watermelons; and there is also the almost sixty-year-old Madam Ling. My sister had menstrual bleeding without any warning, and I heard that she seemed to be pregnant. Uncle Fan, who burns coal, said that he saw his old sweetheart from decades ago in the yard of Hehuan Building. The problem is that he said before that the old sweetheart had died a long time ago. , the sisters all said that Uncle Fan’s brain was damaged by drinking.”

The more I listened, the more confused I became.

Zhao Sanyuan wanted to interrupt, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't find a reason to speak.

Because the things Ding Haohao said are indeed very evil.

It's not normal to pick out any of them. The cantaloupe turned into a watermelon, and the madam had her period.

But these are not what Zhao Sanyuan wants to hear.

"Isn't there something more sinister? For example, so-and-so suddenly encounters a big change or something."

"Yes, weren't they the sisters who were lying on the floor just now?"

have to.

There are huge obstacles to intelligence gathering.

This girl knows a lot of things, but she doesn't have any key information.

Since I can't hit the straight ball, I can only think of other ways.

"What was the name of the girl just now?"

"The flower name is Shui Lianzhu. We all call her Zhuzhu. Her real name seems to be Xu Zhen."

Zhao Sanyuan was speechless. When he heard the name, he thought it was Mao Zi's Mosin Nagant.

"How long has she been in Luanming Pavilion? Has she ever offended anyone?"

"About four or five years. Anyway, she was earlier than me. She looked gentle, but she was actually very hot-tempered. And because she was a distant relative of the Madam Ling, many sisters had been angered by her, so she had offended many people. There are quite a few, including me.”

Zhao Sanyuan didn't know how much moisture there was in these words. Even if there was, it probably wouldn't be much, because there was no need for Ding Haohao to lie about this matter, and it would do her no good.

If there is someone behind the scenes who is deliberately trying to harm Xu Zhen, it is most likely someone from Luanming Pavilion, because the girls here spend most of their time living in a golden cage. They look glamorous, but in fact they have no freedom at all. Gathered in a small world.

According to Ding Haohao, Xu Zhen is like a hedgehog. He has pricked many girls in Luanming Pavilion, and many of them had ill intentions towards her.

"Why don't we do what Mr. Bai asked us first?" Lao Liu sincerely did not want to cause trouble. It was not that he was not enthusiastic, but that he understood that the world was difficult and dangerous.

In the one-third-acre land at home, there are either neighbors or friends. In addition to relying on skills, we also need help from friends. Even so, there is no guarantee that good results will come out every time.

Now that you are far away from home, you draw your sword and look around at strange people and things. How many secrets are hidden among them?

As the old saying goes, pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. Who knows who harmed Xu Zhen? What caused it? How many causes and effects are involved? Who knows?

No problem.

It's not impossible to be warm-hearted.

But first you need to know the benefits and costs.

This is the imperial capital, this is Rouge Hutong, one of the eight major alleys, this is a top-notch brothel where dignitaries spend huge sums of money, how can it be the turn of a few out-of-town young men to be the first?
  According to Lao Liu's original intention, it is best to refund the huge amount of rent. If possible, he must leave as soon as possible and stay away from the place of right and wrong. The safety of the brothers is the most important, and everything else does not matter.

It’s just that my brother promised Master Bai to investigate, but he broke his promise to Yin Shuai, and the consequences were serious.

"Brother Liu makes sense. What are the priorities? How about we study that Piaohun'er first? It won't be too late to gradually investigate other matters after Master Bai's matter is cleared up." Lao Kang agreed.

My brother and Xiucai tried it before, and they can almost conclude that the person who caused Xu Zhen's harm may be more powerful than Li Guyu. The living person's pipa bone can be broken at a glance, how cruel is the magic?
  dong dong dong-

There was a knock on the door.

"You guys, haven't you rested yet?"

The waiter walked in cheerfully carrying a bird cage, followed by many young men, who were either carrying wine and food or holding fruit plates.

"I hope what happened just now will not disturb your interest. Please accept your little thought. Our chef at Luanming Pavilion is the master chef in the previous palace. The taste will definitely satisfy you. Of course, there is no charge."

It's not like there are no good things falling from the sky, but more often than not, people will be beaten to death directly.

It’s not easy for a guy to be attentive for nothing, and everyone knows it’s not easy.

"Speak directly if you have something to say, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

The man had already seen Zhao Sanyuan's crispness, and he was very happy about it.

I have seen too many sanctimonious hypocrites, and someone as simple and direct as Zhao Sanyuan is especially cute.

"What I'm saying is that when I was down there just now, I was the first to take care of our girl. I'm grateful for this from the bottom of my heart, but when you open a business, one thing more is worse than one less thing. I hope you guys don't I'd like to thank you for letting this matter out."

Zhao Sanyuan glanced at him and said, "I understand the truth, but you don't understand what happened to that girl? The bones of the two pipas were broken into several pieces, and the life was painful. It was absolutely beyond my power."

Reasonable, expected.

If you want to make the brothel bigger and stronger, the most important thing is not how handsome the girl is, nor how good the service is, but safety and stability. Once you step through the door, you don't have to worry about anything.

Who cares what a kiln sister went through?
  The customers only care whether she smokes or not.

If you smoke it, you are sick.

The disease may be contagious.

Who will come?

Patiently explain the truth to everyone?
  Stop it.

I came here for the scoop, not for the knowledge class.

Zhao Sanyuan's meaning is very simple. He won't talk nonsense, but you guys in the brothel must understand the seriousness of the matter.

However, the waiter smiled and sighed, "I understand my kindness. No matter what strange disease the girl has, you don't have to worry about it now."

"What do you mean?" Lu Xiucai asked immediately, feeling an extremely bad feeling in his heart.

"She's dead."

"Impossible! I checked her injuries. Although they are serious, they are by no means fatal. How could she die so quickly!"

"Don't be excited, I won't joke about this. I originally arranged for someone to take her to the doctor, but unexpectedly she suddenly died before leaving Luanming Pavilion. In order not to cause panic, Sister Ling ordered her to be taken to the hospital first. Her body is placed in the woodshed and will be properly disposed of tomorrow."

How long did it take?

If people say it’s gone, it’s gone?

Seeing Lu Xiucai's suppressed anger, Liu Mangfan couldn't help but sigh that Luanming Pavilion was really not simple. He knew that all his brothers were brave and brave, and he was afraid that knowing that the girl's death would cause trouble, so he came here to open up the matter.

On the surface, I am telling you the truth. The original intention is to say that Luanming Pavilion knows that you may want to meddle in your own business, but now that everyone is gone, you should go to bed quickly and live your life as usual. You should act as if nothing has happened. Warning and admonishment Full of meaning.

"understood."

Zhao Sanyuan's answer was very simple. He didn't exactly agree or refuse, and his attitude was very subtle.

The waiter nodded and bowed, and gave Ding a cryptic look before leaving. The meaning is self-evident. When you enter this room, don't enter in vain. Keep an eye on him and report anything at any time.

After the waiter left, the brothers all looked at Zhao Sanyuan with surprisingly consistent eyes, even Lao Liu, who always liked to keep things quiet.

dead!
  The nature is fucking different!

It was obvious that he hurt people first and made Xu Zhen experience extreme pain before taking her life!

This sinister and evil approach is disgusting!
  How much hatred and hatred?
  "I spent a huge sum of money, why don't you let me wander around? Let's go and see what's going on. You can come with me. If your leader asks about the incident, you can tell the truth afterwards without having to hide it."

Be aboveboard.

It means going to see the corpse with great fanfare.

bar?
  Then get your money back!
  Ding Haohao's brain was still in a daze, and she had not completely come to her senses. She had the impression that although Xu Zhen had offended many sisters, she had never done anything harmful. Was someone trying to harm her? Or are they targeting other girls in Luanming Pavilion indiscriminately? The package does not include yourself?

Her sense of security was almost gone, and now she just wanted to stay with Zhao Sanyuan and the others, at least to spend the night. She didn’t know what she was afraid of, it was just fear.

Little did she know that her intuition and decision would prevent her from encountering the same tragedy soon after.

Several people immediately left the private room, leaving only two losers, Lao Shen and Cai Wei.

The wind is very cold late at night.

But the hormones that collide late at night are still strong.

The previous 'little' waves didn't seem to attract too much attention, and the dignitaries should still have fun without delaying anything.

However, Zhao Sanyuan, who had just left Juhua Tower, saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye.

A charming man!

This made Zhao Sanyuan pause.

"what happened?"

"I'm lucky tonight. I saw the person who made Mr. Bai's head hurt."

"Piao Hun'er's? Where is it?"

"Going to the theater in the front building."

The sound of gongs and drums coming from the theater was particularly clear, and it seemed that the performance was going on all night long and would not let up.

There are really not many entertainment projects these days. Whether it is princes, nobles or traffickers, there are only a few things that can entertain.

Dipper Dachang.

Drink heavily.

Watch the big show.

Smoking big cigarettes.

Bet big.

Especially theater viewing, which can be called a national entertainment since the late Qing Dynasty. There are many reasons for its popularity, but when it becomes too popular, I am afraid that its foundation and bones have begun to fester.

But now, being able to have a place to sing a big show all night long, not to mention that the seats are packed, at least it attracts a lot of cheers, and many guests hug each other to watch the big show after they feel comfortable.

Even if you have an iron body, you can't do it all day long.

"This opportunity is rare. I finally bumped into it and I don't want to miss it. How about we split our troops into two groups?"

"No problem, I'll listen to you. There shouldn't be any danger in Luanming Pavilion being so lively, but how can we divide it?"

Zhao Sanyuan shook his head, "I'm not good at autopsies. Which of you has ever done this?"

Lu Xiucai: "I have experience."

Lao Kang: "I understand a little bit."

Lao Liu: "I can't."

Clear and clear.

Zhao Sanyuan took Lao Liu and Ding Haohao to the theater, while Lao Kang and Lu Xiucai went to the woodshed.

Tonight, I encountered many and complicated things. Starting from going out for supper and seeing a man wandering away from his soul, things happened one after another, and the factors were very complicated.

Are there any hidden connections?

Not sure yet.

Although Lao Kang has not experienced everything personally, he has experienced more things and has more experience. He has a feeling that the water inside Luanming Pavilion is deeper and muddier than imagined.
  The woodshed is not difficult to find. There is an old man outside the door, drinking a small amount of wine and shaking his head to the beat. He has a song in his mind that is a perfect example of how to get high naturally.

"Master, please rest. We are government officials and we are here to do an autopsy."

"Who is playing?"

"Autopsy, autopsy."

"It's not easy to mention anyone."

"Autopsy, autopsy!"

"What poem are you reading?"

"Uncle, please rest, we can go in by ourselves."

"okay."

Lao Kang tentatively walked in. When he found out that the gatekeeper really didn't stop him, he felt dumbfounded.

Is this called gatekeeping?

My breasts are so big that I can crawl on them easily!
  In fact, there is nothing wrong with thinking about it.

Who among the people who visit the kiln go to the woodshed? What's more, there was a warm corpse inside.

Lao Kang took the lead and walked forward, while Xiucai watched from behind to see if anyone was following.

The woodshed was not small, and there was a lot of dry firewood, but the two of them immediately saw the white cloth covering the corner.

"Sorry to bother you." Lao Kang opened the white cloth politely and was shocked by the face that first caught his eye.

ferocious!

Too ferocious!

The facial features are almost twisted together!
  You can imagine how much pain you endured before you died!

The two of them asked themselves that they had seen many corpses, but they had never encountered one with such a dead appearance.

"She's right." Lu Xiucai nodded, then rolled up his sleeves to prepare for inspection.

Wanting to know the specific cause of death of a person is difficult and easy.

Most of the autopsy methods in Yanhuang in the current era still follow the ones in the Song Dynasty's "Resolution of Wrongs". Although Western anatomy was introduced to Yanhuang in the late Qing Dynasty, its accuracy is definitely not as high as that of Western forensic medicine.

However, the things left behind by the ancestors are not all the dregs of backward times, and Lu Xiucai found out the cause of death without much effort. Lao Kang on the other side also got the result. The two looked at each other and both See the hidden worry in each other's eyes.

"Most of the bones in the upper body were shattered."

"The muscles in the lower body were broken in many places."

"There is a slight depression in the chest and abdomen. I'm afraid her internal organs have been seriously damaged, like..."

"It's like being run over repeatedly by cars and stepped on by countless people, right?"

"Yes, but again, you can't see any external injuries at all. How on earth were her bones and muscles broken?"

No wonder Xu Zhen’s death was so miserable and hideous.

The steel and iron bones will be defeated even if they encounter it.

"Brother Kang, do you think she died of severe damage to her organs and meridians, or did she die of pain due to broken bones and muscles?"

"I prefer the latter."

"Is there really any magic that can do this? Apart from the horrific appearance of her death, she appears to be intact on the surface."

This contrast was so strong that Lu Xiucai couldn't help but feel furious.

Lao Kang looked at Xu Zhen, who was still dead, and thought of some possibility in his mind.

"Have you ever heard of a villain?"
