Your Majesty is so cute

Chapter 144 Female Corpse
"Evidence?" Dong Lie was a little puzzled, and his eyes could not help turning to the river, where there were three or four fishing boats, which looked very noisy.Some people were even pointing fingers, as if they were salvaging something.

Fu Jiulang sat on the carriage, looked at Dong Lie at the front of the carriage, raised his chin, and said, "My lord, go and have a look, the evidence should come out."

Dong Lie nodded, and just a few steps away, he saw Shao An running over quickly, and said to Dong Lie: "My lord, go and have a look quickly, several female corpses were picked up from the river."

"What? A female corpse?" Dong Lie said in surprise, "How could these female corpses all sink in the same place?"

"The body of the female corpse is tied with stones." Shao An said.

Dong Lie quickly followed Shao An, stood on the shore, and waited.The few female corpses that were salvaged were put on the fishing boat and drove towards the shore.

It was dragged onto the river bank and neatly placed on the river bank.Dong Lie said to one of the soldiers: "Hurry back to the Criminal Department immediately and report a case. If the head of the Criminal Department is not here, you can find Huang Heyi, Mr. Huang."

After Dong Lie ordered, he began to hesitate. Shao An beside him asked Dong Lie's hesitation, and said, "My lord, do you need it from the King of Dongjiang?"

Dong Lie pondered for a while, since he went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report the case, there was no reason not to tell King Dongjiang.

While Dong Lie was still thinking, Fu Jiujun's voice came from behind: "The king of Dongjiang is probably waiting for the prince."

Dong Lie nodded and said, "That's right, after the officials from the Ministry of Punishment arrive, I will go to the gymnasium in person and report to the King of Dongjiang in person."

Fu Jiujun nodded, this is indeed the best arrangement.

At this time, the fishermen who participated in the salvage before all had weird expressions and started talking to each other in low voices.This river is so big, it is not surprising that there are several corpses, but it is somewhat weird that there are so many female corpses in the same place.Naturally, Fu Jiujun discovered it all at once, and said, "Boatman, did you find anything?"

This sentence made everyone's eyes turn to the fishermen who were gathered together.After several fishermen looked at each other for a while, one fisherman stood up and said, "My lords, we just think that this female corpse is very similar to the red-clothed female corpse a few years ago. That female corpse is also on the bank of the river nearby. The ones found were like these female corpses, with their hands and feet tied up."

Fu Jiujun pondered for a while, then interjected, "The difference lies in these stones." After finishing speaking, he pointed to the huge stones still tied to the ends of the ropes that tied the hands and feet of the female corpses.The stone is neither too big nor too small, a grown man should be able to move it in front of him.Now it's tied to these women, so naturally they can't break free no matter what.

"Yes, yes, the lord is right. There is no stone on the body of the woman in red." The fisherman recalled and said.

"That's right." Fu Jiujun nodded, then turned to look at Dong Lie at the side.

Dong Lie also understood, and said: "That is to say, the female corpse in red probably sank in this place too, but it was because the stone was separated from the grass rope that the female corpse surfaced and floated on the river. Was discovered and reported to the police?"

Fu Jiujun nodded in approval.This is the most plausible reason.

Dong Lie nodded, and said to the fishermen in front of him: "Thank you, boatmen, the bounty agreed before will be distributed to everyone. If you have other clues, please let us know so that we can quickly Solve the case."

Several fishermen looked at each other, and the leading boatman sighed, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, it would be best if the adults could solve the case sooner. There was a time before that there were always many young girls in the villages and towns around Lin'an City. As for the disappearance, it is useless to report the case. The red-clothed female corpse before was the daughter of a family in a nearby village. Their daughter disappeared on their wedding night. The parents were both old and sad. Passed away. It wasn't until a year or two later that the body was discovered. But the officials didn't have any clues, so they simply didn't investigate. If the adults can find out, it will be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of these girls."

Dong Lie nodded with firm eyes, and said, "Please rest assured, all boatmen, I will definitely give everyone justice in this matter."

Fu Jiujun also said: "Yes, fellow boatmen, this is the fifth prince of Dongjiang, Lord Donglie. If he wants to export something, it will definitely come true. Please rest assured, fellow boatmen."

When the fishermen heard that the person standing in front of them turned out to be the prince of the Eastern Xinjiang Dynasty, they knelt on the ground involuntarily, both excited and grateful.

Dong Lie hurriedly stepped forward to help a few fishermen up, and said, "Dear boatmen, please don't do this. This is what our royal family should do to solve the case and protect the safety of the people."

The fisherman was all grateful and said: "We are really blessed to have such a prince."

Fu Jiujun took a thousand steps, walked behind Dong Lie, and said to the fishermen: "Boaters, you often walk on this river. If you find any strange people nearby in the future, please tell the prince." It may not be the murderer in this case."

"Definitely, definitely." The fishermen all agreed seriously.

After the fishermen had collected their rewards and dispersed, Huang Heyi from the Criminal Department in the city had already rushed over on horseback.

After disembarking from the boat and saluting Dong Lie, he was surprised to see the row of dozens of female corpses in front of him. These are more than a dozen human lives.When did there have been so many murders in the Eastern Border Imperial City?

With another glance, Huang Heyi frowned involuntarily.He couldn't help but said: "These female corpses are very similar to the previous red-clothed female corpses."

This sentence is not the first person to say so, Dong Lie and Fu Jiujun looked at each other, very calm.Dong Lie said: "Master Huang thinks, what does it look like?"

Huang He said: "Let's not say that they were found in the same river area, the death is also similar. First of all, there are no fatal wounds on the body, only the hands and feet are tied with straw ropes. From the current point of view, it is very likely that He was drowned alive. Of course, this is all the current analysis, and the specifics should be seen by the author.”

Dong Lie nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I will trouble Mr. Huang to transport these corpses back to the Ministry of Punishment. This king has to go back to the gymnasium in person and ask the king of Dongjiang for instructions."

Huang Heyi cupped his hands at Dong Lie and agreed.

Huang Heyi asked the soldiers from the Ministry of Punishment to start moving the female corpses into the cart that followed.

Dong Lie got on the horse, and said to Fu Jiujun who was walking in front of the carriage, "Then Fu Jiulang, what are your plans?"

Fu Jiujun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, this place is the closest to my courtyard on the west mountain, so I might go and rest for a while."

Dong Lie pulled the horse rope and said, "Surely there is no need for Shao An to take you back?"

"No need, my lord." Fu Jiujun shook his head.

Dong Lie nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, Fu Jiulang should be careful. I'll go find you when I'm free."

"Okay. My lord, go slowly." Fu Jiujun arched his hands, and Dong Lie waved his whip and galloped away on the steed.

Fu Jiujun looked at Dong Lie's back and thought, is it finally about to start?This battle for succession.
