Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 55 Something bad happened!

After saying that, she took off the glove on her right hand, wrapped her middle finger with cotton cloth, and then inserted her middle finger into Lan Ying's vagina little by little.

Shang Ben's heart churned when he saw this scene, but in order to know the truth, he could not look away. Instead, he had to walk forward and stare at Chaolu's hand with wide eyes.

After a while, Chaolu pulled her hand back, and the cotton cloth on her middle finger was still clean without any dirt.

She looked at Shang Benxin with a bad expression and asked.

"What else do you have to say now?"

Shang Benxin stared at her fingers, cold sweat running down his forehead.

The vulva was intact and no black fluid flowed out, which proved that the deceased was still a virgin.

The facts were right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it.

He swallowed hard, feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. The so-called serial rape and murder case was actually just a simple murder case. The direction of the government's investigation was wrong from the beginning!

And all this was because of his carelessness.

Yan Ciwan asked: "Where are the bodies of the other murdered women?"

Shang Benxin said in a daze, "The four bodies that were found first were already very badly decomposed. After the inspection, Captain Gao asked the victims' families to take the bodies back for burial."

Yan Ciwan had no other questions and spoke to Chaolu who had already washed her hands.

"Let's go, we should go back and report to the Grand Council."

"Ah."

Shang Benxin suddenly came to his senses as if awakened from a dream, and fell to his knees with a thud.

Chaolu was startled by his sudden action. Yan Ciwan stopped and looked at him calmly, as if he could see through his thoughts.

Shang Benxin felt uneasy when she looked at him. He spoke with difficulty: "If Wei Fazuo knew about this, he would definitely think that I was derelict in my duty."

Chaolu frowned: "Do you want us to help you hide this? This case involves nine lives, we can't just keep it a secret."

"I know this clue is very important. It is related to whether we can catch the real murderer. You can't hide it. I just want to ask you to say a few good words for me in front of Wei Fazuo. This time it was because of my negligence that I missed such an important clue. You can fine me or beat me with a stick, but please don't fire me from my position as a coroner. This is my job to support my family. My whole family depends on this job to survive."

After saying this, he kowtowed heavily to Yan Ciwan and Chaolu.

Yan Ciwan was not moved at all: "We are from the Internal Guards and cannot interfere in your government affairs. It is useless for you to ask us for help."

Shang Benxin cried bitterly and regretted deeply.

At this time, Wei Lansheng and Cha Bingliang came back, and they heard crying before they even entered the door.

When they walked into the resting hall, Wei Lansheng saw Shang Benxin kneeling on the ground with tears on his face. He frowned and asked him why he was crying.
Shang Benxin stammered and couldn't answer.

Wei Lansheng turned to look at Yan Ciwan and Chaolu, motioning them to answer.

Shang Benxin looked at them with pleading eyes.

However, Yan Ciwan and Chaolu ignored him.

Yan Ciwan lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. Chaolu told him what had happened in a few words.

Wei Lansheng is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

After hearing what Chaolu said, he immediately walked to Lanying's body and personally checked it to make sure that the facts were indeed as Chaolu said. Only then did he believe what she had just said. Chaolu was quite surprised.

She knew that Wei Lansheng was a serious and old-fashioned man, and he should have attached great importance to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. However, she did not expect that he could examine the vulva of the female corpse without changing his expression. His expression was very serious from beginning to end, without any disgust or shyness.

Wei Lansheng looked at Shang Benxin solemnly and said, "When testing a woman, you must not be shy. Do you still remember this sentence?"

Shang Benxin knelt on the ground, too ashamed to face his boss.

Wei Lansheng asked him to go home and reflect on his mistakes.

Shang Benxin left the resting hall dejectedly.

Then Wei Lansheng looked at Zhaolu and suddenly asked, "I don't know your name yet?"

Chaolu didn't dare to tell her real name, so she just made up a pseudonym for herself.

"My surname is Liu, and I am the second child in my family."

Wei Lansheng stared at her face and then asked, "Is this your real name?"

Chaolu was startled and nodded quickly: "Yes!"

Because she was too nervous, she couldn't help but raise the pitch of her voice, and her voice, which had been deliberately lowered, became shrill. It was immediately clear that it was the voice of a young girl.

She hurriedly covered her mouth, her face showing horror.

Yan Ciwan and Cha Bingliang secretly thought, "Oh no, something terrible is going to happen!"

Wei Lansheng's expression remained unchanged, but his gaze towards Chao Lu and Yan Ci Wan became sharper.

He looked like an eagle staring at its prey, as if he had seen through everything.

He had been handling cases for many years and had dealt with many criminals. It was common for criminals to change their appearances to hide their identities, so he had trained his eyes to be sharp. When he first saw the two young men, he felt that they were too thin and frail, and did not look like men at all. After listening to Zha Bingliang's explanation and learning that they were eunuchs, Wei Lansheng's doubts were slightly reduced. If they were eunuchs, they could understand their appearance.

But he still had a little doubt in his heart. When he returned to the resting hall just now, he noticed that Chaolu's eyes were red, showing signs of crying, and the color of her face was slightly different in depth. He immediately understood that the other party must have used a disguise on her face. The disguise method was extremely sophisticated. If Chaolu had not cried and the makeup on her face was exposed, he would not have been able to see the disguise on her face.

At this moment, he deliberately said something shocking in order to test the other party and see the other party's instinctive reaction when faced with fear.

It turned out that his guess was correct. The person in front of him was not a eunuch, but a woman in disguise!

Wei Lansheng looked at Yan Ciwan with a serious gaze and asked.

"I guess Li Yan is not your real name. Who are you? What is your intention in sneaking into the government office in disguise?"

Chaolu realized that she had been exposed. She was terrified and wanted to explain herself but didn't know how to start. She was so anxious that she was about to cry again.

Cha Bingliang tried to make amends: "Li Yan and Liu Er are indeed not their real names. They are actually maids around the Grand Master. The Grand Master trusts them very much and often sends them to do errands."

Seeing him mention the title of Grand Councilor, ordinary officials would definitely be wary.

But Wei Lansheng was a stubborn man. From the day he entered the court as an official, he never thought of bowing to the powerful.

Even though he had been demoted to Xiangzhou as a minor local official, he still had no intention of changing his temperament.

He said in a cold voice: "You first said they were eunuchs in the palace, and now you suddenly changed your words and said they were maids around the Grand Lord. It's hard for people to believe your words when you are so inconsistent. Even if they are really the maids around the Grand Lord, it doesn't mean they are qualified to enter the government office to examine the bodies of the victims. As slaves, they have no official positions, so how can they interfere in the government affairs?!"
