Chapter 12
"The deceased was about 25 years old, a young and middle-aged man. The deceased's right hand was full of calluses, and the palms of both hands were covered with calluses. He should be a person who practiced martial arts all the year round. The deceased had no other trauma except the separation of the head and neck. The man cut off his head with a sharp knife. The preliminary estimate of the time of death is between Haishi and Zishi..." In the Yamen morgue, Xu Yin was examining the corpse carefully, with an extremely focused expression.
"Cousin, what do you think?" Xiao Chengfeng looked at the head, maybe he was used to seeing it, and he didn't feel any discomfort anymore.
Du Youning frowned and stared at the head, bound his hands and said solemnly: "The human skeleton is so complicated, beheading is not easy to do, but if there is some deviation, the wound will not be so smooth. The murderer knows the structure of the human body very well, and has a calm personality He is also cold-blooded, and can easily kill in a flash. In my opinion, the murderer should be a well-trained killer with extremely high martial arts."
Xiao Chengfeng nodded lightly when he heard the words, resting his chin with his hand, his eyes sparkled brightly: "One is a martial arts practitioner, and the other is a well-trained professional killer. The two of them slipped out of the Yamen late at night. Their disappearance is not due to admiration." The charm of the county. Xueye killed someone outside the yamen, what exactly did the murderer intend to do?"
Gu Ruo didn't follow her to the autopsy, she and Xiao Wu finished their breakfast, and Xiao Wu clamored to find Xiao Liu'er to play with.Gu Ruo fastened the buttons for him, and told him to listen to Xiao Liu'er, and then let him out.Nothing to do, Gu Ruo thought about it, and went to the study as usual.
When Gu Ruo opened the door, he saw dozens of books scattered all over the floor. A man in a brown robe stood in the room. He was pulling out a book and flipping through it, then threw it on the ground, and started to pull out other books , looking quite anxious.
"Master Liu, what are you looking for?"
The man stopped abruptly, turned around slowly, stroked his mustache and said with a dry smile, "It's Miss Gu. To be honest, I read a casual book before, and I read half of it at the time." Then I put it away. Today, when I thought about it and wanted to read it again, I found that I couldn’t find the book. Didn’t I just flip through it in a hurry. Sister Gu, don’t worry, I will tidy up the books on the floor later Well, I will never trouble you."
"It's okay, I'll clean it up myself." Gu Ruo bent down and picked up the books, started to pack them up, and asked after thinking of something, "I don't know which book Master Liu is looking for, I can help you find it too."
"Ah?" Master Liu was taken aback for a moment, then smiled politely, "It's just a book, why bother Miss Gu, I'll find it myself."
Gu Ruo was about to say no trouble, when Master Liu suddenly said "Hey", took out a book and said in surprise, "I found it, what a coincidence! Hehe, I won't bother you then." Gu Ruo said to He smiled, said Master, go slowly, and then began to tidy up the study.
What a master Liu, he made his study like this just for a copy of "The Picture of Bai Ze Jingwei". He left in such a hurry.Gu Ruo shook her head, but didn't take this matter to heart.
Xiao Chengfeng worked hard all day, but he still couldn't find out the identity of the deceased, let alone find any clues about the murderer.Xiao Chengfeng paced back and forth in the room, while Du Youning sat beside him calmly sipping tea, the two moved and remained still, and the contrast was clear.
The deceased was obviously not a local, and he clearly knew the murderer, otherwise he would not have been beheaded so lightly.But it's not an honor to cut off people's heads. Why does the murderer insist on killing people outside the yamen?Generally speaking, isn't murder done in secret, but the murderer's hands are so quiet, it seems that he is afraid that others will not know...
Wait, a flash of light flashed in front of Xiao Chengfeng's eyes, for fear that others would not know, could it be——
"Kill the chicken to warn the monkey?"
Du Youning raised his eyebrows lightly: "Huh?"
Xiao Chengfeng clapped his hands vigorously, walked quickly in front of Du Youning, unceremoniously took the tea in his hand and drank it, very excitedly said: "I know why the murderer wanted to kill people outside the Yamen! Kill chickens to make an example to monkeys, he It was designed to kill someone and show it to someone.”
Du Youning's phoenix eyes moved slightly, and she said meaningfully: "Then who do you think he wants to show?"
"Who is it for?" Xiao Chengfeng frowned, thought for a long time without a clue, put the teacup in his hand on the table, sat down, and sighed: "I don't know either."
Du Youning hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was a bit of coldness between his brows: "You can tell by the wind, why do you want to come here for my brother?"
Xiao Chengfeng blinked his eyes and looked at him, with a little confidence: "I thought it was because my younger brother came here for the first time to challenge to be a reliable parent officer, and my cousin just came here specially to see me..."
Du Youning chuckled: "Heh, I returned to Beijing from the northwest to report on my duties, and was sent here by the emperor before I even had time to enter the house. What does Chengfeng think is the reason?"
"Could it be?" Xiao Chengfeng looked at Du Youning suspiciously, and immediately thought of a possibility, "Could it be that there is something wrong in Lin'an, and you have to find a trustworthy person to investigate, and it can't attract attention?"
"It's not too confused at all," Du Youning said to him in a low voice when no one was around, "The previous county magistrate was so confused, there are many stories in it, the emperor sent me to investigate, I don't want to startle the snake."
Xiao Chengfeng leaned forward, lowered his voice and said: "That is to say, the emperor has a plan in mind, but he just found an excuse to send me here so that you can appear on the stage?"
Du Youning thought for a while, nodded and said, "You can say that."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Chengfeng gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves, and said indignantly, "I didn't tell me about such important things in advance, which made me depressed for a long time; it was hard for me to become an official and achieve a little success, thinking that the emperor was sincere. Wanting to experience me, only to realize in the end that I am just a cover, it really hurts me!"
Xiao Chengfeng covered his heart with his hands as he spoke, making a sad look. Du Youning smiled unknowingly when he saw it: "Since it is a secret order, naturally no one in the court knows about it, but you do, so you know that the emperor still values you. .”
"Hi," Xiao Chengfeng put down his hand covering his heart, knocked on the table and said, "I knew that the emperor must have expected me to transfer me here. Now that I think about it, the emperor really has good intentions, I'm very moved, hahaha..." Changing face is faster than flipping a book, it must be this person!Du Youning smiled, but did not speak.
Xiao Chengfeng looked around for a while, then lay down in front of Du Youning, and said mysteriously: "Cousin, have you found out the cause of death of the previous county magistrate?"
"No," Du Youning said with a serious face, "Magistrate Cao didn't bury his body after his death, but he was buried two days later. There must be something tricky about it. The living can tell lies, but the dead can't. The only way is to find the corpse of County Magistrate Cao quietly and find out."
"Then who will be sent to open the museum to steal corpses?" Seeing that his cousin looked at him strangely, Xiao Chengfeng was startled, and smiled reluctantly: "My cousin will never let me go. "
Du Youning raised his eyebrows and praised: "Chengfeng is really smart." "But..."
"Your Majesty said that riding the wind is not bad, given time, it will become a great weapon..."
"Okay, let me go!" Xiao Chengfeng responded happily, grinning, "Brother-in-law Huang really said that?"
"Naturally." No.
Xiao Chengfeng was gearing up, eager to try, wishing he could open the coffin for an autopsy immediately: "I'll call Xu Yin right away, and let him go to the autopsy with me!"
"No!" Du Youning raised his hand to stop him, "I still don't know who is the enemy in the Yamen, so don't trust them."
"This?" Xiao Chengfeng was silent for a moment, and now he had a candidate, "Then I will let Ah Ruo be with me, I trust her very much."
"Ah Ruo?"
When Du Youning didn't know who A Ruo was, Xiao Chengfeng explained: "A Ru is the girl who hides behind you in the morning. Others call her Miss Gu, but I like to call her A Ruo."
"Ah Ruo? Let her be." Du Youning didn't know what to think of, and a little spring breeze appeared on his handsome face.Xiao Chengfeng watched inexplicably from the side.
Gu Ruozheng lowered his head and copied the woman's Qianjin Fang, walked to the case alone and stood there for a while without making a sound.Gu Ruo raised his head in doubt, and saw the man in a black robe, with a tall body, staring at what he had written, and couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong with the general?"
Du Youning was noncommittal, picked up her note and said with a smile, "Sister Gu is very good at writing." His fingers are slender, with well-defined joints, and the way he holds a book is very good-looking. It's like being able to see through people's hearts.It gives people the feeling that the spring breeze in March brushes across the face, although it is comfortable and delicate, there is a hint of coolness.
Gu Ruo stood up, pretending not to notice his intention of probing, and said shyly: "The little girl's family is poor, and she never went to school. When she was young, she secretly went to the school to steal a teacher, learned a few big characters, and could barely read articles. As for writing, it’s a school of its own, so I can only write an outline.”
"It's just that you can learn something after listening to a few lessons. The girl also has a heart." Du Youning put down his notes, looked into her eyes and smiled, "I'm here to tell you something."
Although Gu Ruo felt baffled, he couldn't say anything else, so he could only "ask for advice" and said, "I wonder what the general wants to tell me?"
Although her attitude was calm and composed, her eyes were a little dodgy, obviously suspicious of something.If someone else Du Youning didn't care, but for some reason, he didn't want to be misunderstood by her, so he still explained: "I just want to tell you that the corpse this morning was not my doing."
Gu Ruo was obviously taken aback, he had doubts, but it was only for a short moment, and he obviously didn't show it, yet he could notice it?Such a keen observation ability, Gu Ruo couldn't help admiring him.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Du Youning thought she was thinking of something that was afraid of him, her eyes tightened, and she wanted to leave, but she couldn't help asking: "You, trust me?"
