Chapter 11

The corpse outside the yamen always seemed to be provocative.

"Dead?" Xiao Chengfeng heard the report from the yamen servant, and he didn't care about his embarrassment, so he hurriedly said to Du Youning, "Cousin, I'll go and see first." After speaking, he strode out.

"Ah Ruo," Xiao Chengfeng took two steps, then turned his head and looked at Gu Ruo eagerly, "Do you want to come with me?"

Gu Ruo thought for a while, then bent over and said to Xiao Wu: "I'll go out with the adults, Xiao Wu and brother Liu'er will play for a while, okay?"

Although Xiao Wu was curious about the strange snowman at the door, he still knew he had to listen to his mother, not to mention he liked to follow Xiao Liu'er very much, so he nodded happily and said, "Xiao Wu follows Brother Liu'er, mother, let's go."

Gu Ruo turned around and followed Xiao Chengfeng out, Xiao Liu'er kept her mouth shut, he didn't want to see the child, he also wanted to see the snowman, okay?No matter how unwilling he was, if the young master didn't speak, he could only take Xiao Wu with him. Fortunately, the young master Biao was still there, so it would be great to be able to talk to the young master Biao.

Xiao Liu'er was about to call Du Youning to eat, but before he could speak, Du Youning took off his cloak and tied it up, and smiled slightly: "Well, I'll go and watch the fun too." After speaking, he went out .

Xiao Liu'er burst into tears: I really want to go out and break it!
A circle of people had already surrounded the yamen, and Xu Yin was standing next to the "snowman" to clean up and investigate.The snowman was standing, more than seven feet long, and covered with snow all over his body. At first glance, he really looked like a snowman, but as the snow on his body peeled off little by little, the "snowman" gradually turned into a blood man.His whole body was soaked in blood, especially his chest and back. There was only snow on his face, but it was considered clean.The ground is covered with footprints. I think it was such a "surprise" that everyone was in a mess early in the morning. How could they think that the scene should be protected.Gu Ruo frowned when he saw the chaos at the scene when he went out.

Xiao Chengfeng obviously thought of this, and immediately issued an order: "People who have nothing to do with this case leave immediately, otherwise they can go to the Yamen to help me investigate the case." Get into trouble.Xiao Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, and then he looked at the "snowman", covered his mouth with just one look, and almost threw up again.

Gu Ruo glanced at him speechlessly, Xiao Chengfeng endured the discomfort, puffed up his chest and walked over, not wanting to be underestimated by her: "Xu Yin, but the cause of death has been found out?"

Xu Yin turned his head when he heard the words, and just as he was about to go forward, Xiao Chengfeng raised his hand and stopped him on the spot.Xiao Chengfeng felt uncomfortable seeing the mixed red and white blood. Seeing that Xu Yin's body was stained with blood and filth, he faintly felt like vomiting.How did Xu Yin guess this, and he said that the lord is to let himself not be too polite and restrained, pointing to the "snowman" and said: "Please look, lord, there is an obvious wound on this man's neck, and it must have been sealed with a sword." Throat, he lost too much blood and died."

Xiao Chengfeng's eyes sparkled, and he touched his neck subconsciously: "So ruthless?"

Gu Ruo looked at the eyelids of the bloody man who was standing like an ordinary person, and said disapprovingly, "Brother Xu thinks this man died by cutting his throat?" Xu Yin nodded, "Exactly." Thinking of Gu Ruo's previous skills, Xu Yin's heart moved, as if he sensed something was wrong, so he asked respectfully, "Does Miss Gu have other opinions?"

"It's not cutting the throat, it's cutting the head." Gu Ruoyu's voice fluctuated slightly, and he felt that the murderer's methods were very cruel.let me see
"Beheading?"

"How is it possible?" Xiao Chengfeng's tone was shocked, but Xu Yin didn't take it seriously: "The trauma on the neck of the deceased was his fatal injury. The cause of death should be cutting his throat. If his head was beheaded, why would the head still be on his body?" ?”

Gu Ruo was not in a hurry to refute, but just asked calmly: "Brother Xu, let me ask you, will a person die immediately if his throat is cut?"

Xu Yin hesitated for a moment and said, "No..." Gu Ruo continued, "What would happen if you were a normal person with your throat cut?"

"I will struggle to the death..." Xu Yin was stunned and looked at the blood man with a complicated expression.

Xiao Chengfeng was confused by their conversation, and couldn't help wondering: "What is the cause of his death?"

"If the murderer had cut the deceased's throat or cut off his carotid artery, it would be impossible for him to maintain such a quiet posture as long as he had time to react. Normally, he would struggle, and even if blood choked into his trachea, he would not Absolutely not with such an attitude." Gu Ruo walked to the corpse and said with certainty, "His sword is so fast that the deceased died before he could react. A lot of blood rushed out, and the time was very short, but There was a lot of blood, which splashed all around, and was buried by heavy snow. It can be judged that this is the first scene, and the time of death was before the snow was heavy. That’s all Gu Ruo can judge for the time being. As for other things, it’s up to adults Only by investigating."

Xiao Chengfeng glanced at the corpse sympathetically, then turned his head to look at Gu Ruo with admiration, his eyes were full of heat: "As expected of A Ruo! Who was the first person to find the corpse?"

"If you are an adult, you are a villain." The man who spoke was hunched over, looking tired and old, about sixty years old.

Xiao Chengfeng looked down at him and asked, "Who is the old man?" The old man said fearfully, "The villain's surname is Jia, and his name is Dashan. He is a watchman in Lin'an City. He has been a watchman for 40 years."

"So, when did you find this corpse?" Jia Dalshan clutched his chest, his face wrinkled and almost tangled, and said with lingering fear: "About five o'clock, when the villain passed by the yamen, he saw him immediately Here, the villain thought who made the snowman. But when he got closer, he saw red blood stains on his body. The villain took a closer look, oops, it’s terrible, isn’t this a human? Put the little one down. Yeah, didn't you wait for the official to open the door, and report the crime immediately?"

Xiao Chengfeng was puzzled and asked, "Why didn't you report the case immediately?" Jia Dalshan waved his hands again and again, and said straightly: "It is absolutely necessary, adults work hard for the people, and villains are afraid of affecting adults' rest."

"Forget it," Xiao Chengfeng heard the flattery was awkward, and didn't know what to say to him, so he said, "You go back now, if there is a need, I will send someone to look for you."

Jia Dalshan replied happily: "Don't worry, my lord, I will know everything I can say." After speaking, he staggered away, walking a little unsteadily, as if he would be blown down by the wind at any moment.

Xiao Chengfeng couldn't see it, so he called a yamen servant to help Jia Dashan go back, curled his lips and said, "Isn't there anyone in Lin'an who is in his prime? How can an old man suffer this crime? Well, let's carry the corpse back carefully first, let's Think long term."

The two yamen servants reluctantly carried the template and walked over. One lifted his legs and the other lifted his shoulders. They yelled "one or two" and worked hard together. Then the other end wobbled and rolled down, and it happened to roll straight to Xiao Chengfeng's feet. His dull eyes stared straight at Xiao Chengfeng.

"Mother!" Xiao Chengfeng was startled and jumped up, almost kicked the other side away, his body fell back uncontrollably, and he was about to fall to the ground, but he was firmly supported by the person behind him.

"cousin?"

"Be careful." Seeing that he had stabilized his figure, Du Youning let go of his hand and looked at Gu Ruo thoughtfully.He had been standing behind just now, and he heard everything they said.This Miss Gu really made him think highly of her, she was well-founded, objective and calm. Could it be possible that a person with such a vision is just a naive little widow?

Gu Ruo didn't look at Du Youning, but there was something more in his lowered eyes - could there be any relationship between his blood-stained cloak and this corpse?
