The Memorabilia of the Detective Case of the Female Doctor Who Traveled Through Time

Chapter 4

Xu Wuzuo fiddled with the pot of bone soup repeatedly with chopsticks, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and he clasped his fists after a long time and said, "My lord, the small ones can only tell if this small bone is not a pig bone, as for whether it is a human bone, please let me know." I'm sorry I can't tell."

Xiao Chengfeng raised his eyebrows, picked up the vertebra with his chopsticks, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "How long has Xu Yuzuo been in this business?"

Xu Yin didn't know why, but he answered truthfully: "The three generations of my ancestors have all been yamen clerks, and this year there are three in my 15s, and I have been in the industry for [-] years."

"That's it," Xiao Chengfeng let go of his hand, let the bone fall back into the soup, curled his lips and looked at Gu Ruo, who was standing beside him silently, and said, "Xu Wuzuo has been in the industry for 15 years and can't tell what kind of bone it is. Bones, how can the girl be sure that this is a human bone?"

Gu Ruo was taken aback for a moment, not knowing how to explain it.

In ancient times, parents who paid attention to the body, skin, hair, skin, and skin may not be able to dissect a corpse in their entire life. It is normal that they cannot recognize it as a human bone.She has rummaged through two anatomical atlases, dissected dozens of human corpses, prepared various nerve and bone specimens, and performed hundreds of operations. She has long been familiar with human body structure, so she can easily recognize it. This is a human vertebra.But how can these words be said to these people?

Seeing Gu Ruo frowning, Master Liu thought she was just messing around to attract the adults' attention, and now that the adults exposed her, he was naturally speechless.Thinking that she broke out in a cold sweat just now, I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, and scolded: "Good job, Miss Gu! Do you know that false reporting is also a crime?"

"I don't have one," Gu Ruo pondered for a moment, his face was as calm as usual, and he said to Xiao Chengfeng, "I'm sure it's a human bone, as long as you give me a pen and paper, I can prove it to you."

"Okay!" Xiao Chengfeng nodded and clapped his hands, and sent someone to get a pen and paper, his eyes became more interesting, "I hope you don't let me down."

Xu Yin had just eaten at home, and before he could wash his hands, someone from the yamen came to ask him to recommend the bones.No matter how powerful he is, he still can't tell what kind of bone it is just from a piece of bone. How can a delicate widow be sure that it is a human bone?If this is really a human bone, unless the bone is related to her, Xu Yin does not believe that she can recognize human bones at a glance.

Several people got together with their own thoughts, and Xiao Wu lay on tiptoe at the table, showing half of his head and opening his small mouth, looking straight at Gu Ruo, looking silly and cute.Gu Ruo patted his head and smiled at him, beckoning him not to worry, picked up the pen and started to paint.

Xu Yinben didn't take it seriously, his eyes widened suddenly when he saw something on the painting, and said in disbelief: "This is..."

Gu Ruo didn't speak, but just drew with peace of mind, and in just a cup of tea, an anatomical diagram of human bones appeared vividly on the paper.Gu Ruo put down the pen, pointed at something with a long sigh of relief, and said, "Adults have 26 vertebrae in total, including cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccyx. The spinous process of the bone in the basin is plate-shaped and stretches straight backward , the space between the spinous processes is relatively large, obviously it is the human lumbar spine.”

Xu Yin looked at the atlas in a daze, with excitement and shock in his eyes, and more doubts: "The girl drew a picture of human skeleton? I don't know where the girl looked at this picture?"

"I saw it by chance, so I wrote it down." Gu Ruo smiled, and did not explain too much, but said to Xiao Chengfeng, "Your Excellency, you trust me now?"

Xiao Chengfeng nodded slightly, and Taohua's eyes flashed with excitement: "Tell me, where did this bone come from?"

Gu Ruo immediately gave a general account of how Li Er sent the meat, bit his lips hesitantly, and finally said: "I saw that he looked a little weird at me, and I'm afraid it's malicious. I hope I'm thinking too much, but this The human bones actually appeared in the soup, and the hidden secrets in it can only be discovered by adults."

"It's my duty to be the master for the people," Xiao Chengfeng straightened his clothes and raised the corners of his mouth, looking like a handsome young man, "Master Liu, summon the yamen servants, let's go for a walk."

When everyone packed up and rushed to Li Er's house, it was already the time of Xu when the moon was in the sky.

Gu Liu'er patted on the door carelessly, but no one came to answer the door after waiting for a long time, Xiao Chengfeng twirled the wrench in his hand, and knocked it away lightly.The Yacha got the order and broke in immediately.

There was no lamp in the house and it was pitch black, the moonlight shone white on the ground, there was a wooden frame in the courtyard, and a headless pig with most of its flesh shaved was hanging upside down on the frame and turning gently, the atmosphere was quiet and eerie.A gust of cold wind blew past, and everyone suddenly felt the slightest chill in their bones. They were inexplicably uneasy. You pushed me and you pushed you, and no one wanted to go in.

"Ahem," Xiao Chengfeng cleared his throat, raised his hand to touch the corner of his lips, and raised his chin to signal Xiao Liu'er to push the inner door.My young master has spoken, no matter how unwilling Xiao Liu'er is, he has to reflect it on his scalp.

Xiao Liu'er was in front, and the two yamen servants were behind with their knives raised, for fear that Li Er would come out of the dark with an ax to attack people.The imagined situation did not happen, and Li Er was not among them.

A yamen servant held a torch to illuminate the situation in the house. The stove was covered with blood, and the firewood was spitting out its tongue. The broth in the pot was steaming and steaming. The strong smell of meat mixed with the smell of blood made people sick. .

Xu Yin picked up the spatula and stirred the bones and flesh in the pot, and said with a horrified face: "My lord, there are really many human bones mixed in here!"

"Hmm..." Xiao Chengfeng was about to speak, but his throat tightened, he hurriedly covered his mouth and ran outside, hugged the doorpost and vomited, tremblingly raised his hand.

When Xiao Liu'er saw it, he understood and said, "My lord, let us search carefully."

Gu Ruo put his hands on Xiao Wu's shoulders and waited outside the door, only hearing the noise of people inside, not knowing what happened.Just as he was hesitating whether to go in and have a look, Xiao Chengfeng rushed out and vomited with joy.

Xiao Wu looked at Xiao Chengfeng sympathetically, stepped forward to pat him on the back, then raised his head and frowned at Gu Ruo: "Mother, my lord vomits so much that I want to vomit too."

Gu Ruo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Wu away, covering his eyes for him: "Don't look at Xiao Wu, just don't look at it."

Xiao Wu nodded sensiblely, covered his eyes and said to Gu Ruo: "Mom, go and see your lord, he vomited so sadly."

"It's okay, he won't vomit until he vomits enough, Xiao Wu, don't worry." Gu Ruo rubbed Xiao Wu's head, and said very gently.

Xiao Chengfeng managed to stop vomiting, his nose was still sore and uncomfortable, and he looked at the woman who was comforting the child softly with teary eyes, feeling a little desolate in his heart, suddenly thinking about how his mother would break it.

Seeing his pale face, Gu Ruo knew that he must be in a bad mood, so she thought about it and said to Xiao Wu: "Mother, go in and have a look now, Xiao Wu will wait here obediently, okay?"

Xiao Wu nodded, very reluctant but obedient, just said: "Mother, you have to come back and find Xiao Wu."

"Okay," Gu Ruo walked towards Xiao Chengfeng, as if he didn't see his predicament at all, and said in a natural tone, "My lord, my little girl, go and see what I can do, please help me take care of Xiao Wu. "

"Don't go," Xiao Chengfeng stretched out his hand to grab her sleeve, and explained kindly, "It's too messy inside, I don't want you to vomit as badly as I do after you go in."

Gu Ruo took a deep look at Xiao Chengfeng, and said with a half-smile, "I'm not yet."

Not what?
It means that in the small scene, she won't vomit?Xiao Chengfeng looked at her back with resentful eyes, I didn't want to vomit, but the smell was too pungent, thinking of the pot of flesh and blood, Xiao Chengfeng's stomach twitched, and he squatted on the ground and vomited again.

Xiao Wu remembered his mother's words, covered his eyes silently, and stopped looking at him.

Xiao Chengfeng: ...

The bones in the pot were stewed until the bones were separated from the flesh, Gu Ruo and Xu Yin sorted out the bones and put together a half-human figure.Several pieces of unburned women's clothes were taken out from the bottom of the pot. As for the blood stains, because pig blood was mixed with human blood, it could not prove anything.But the evidence found is enough to prove that Li Er's pot is stewed.

"Li Er, you actually stewed human flesh and gave it to your neighbors." Master Liu's expression was not good, but he tried not to vomit, and ran to ask Xiao Chengfeng for instructions, "My lord, what should I do next?"

Xiao Chengfeng stood in the alley, and his voice was full of anger: "Catch Li Er and bring him to justice immediately. Also, send someone to collect the broken bones he gave to the neighbors. Don't tell the case for now, don't disturb the people!"

"It's an adult!"

Ya Chai started to move separately, Gu Ruo saw that he had nothing to do, so he said goodbye to Xiao Chengfeng: "My lord, it's getting late, my daughter will go back first."

"Go." Xiao Chengfeng waved his hand and said weakly, watching Gu Ruo turn and leave, Xiao Chengfeng suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he had neglected something important.

But what is it?
"Mother," Xiao Wu raised his head to look at Gu Ruo, and couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Did Second Brother Li do something bad? Why did you want to arrest him?"

Gu Ruo closed the door and turned around, comforting Xiao Wu with a smile: "Second brother Li's meat is not good, some people eat it badly, adults come to him just to ask where he got the meat, it's okay."

"That's great!" Xiao Wu clapped his hands, yawned and smiled, "It's fine, Xiao Wu is sleepy and going to bed!" It looks very cute.

Gu Ruo couldn't help laughing, and just about to remind him to slow down, his expression suddenly changed - he had locked the door when he went out, but when he pushed the door just now, the door was unlocked.

"Little Wu!" Gu Ruo quickly stepped forward to call Xiao Wu back, when he saw a man's hand stretched out from the room, grabbed Xiao Wu in, and then heard Xiao Wu's slightly surprised voice. Come: "Brother Li, why are you at my house?"

"I have something to do with your mother." Li Er pinched Xiao Wu's neck with one hand and held an ax in the other, and said to Gu Ruo who was still standing outside, "Sister Gu, if you don't come in, Xiao Wu will die. !"

"Don't, I'll come in right now!" Gu Ruo shouted hastily, his hands were trembling, and he wanted to find someone to defend himself, but the courtyard was empty and there was nothing.

Li Er stood in the room, staring at Gu Ruo gloomyly, gritted his teeth and said, "I advise you not to use your brains, come here quickly."

Then in the moonlight, Xiao Wu saw the blood-stained ax in Li's second hand, and whimpered: "Mother, I'm afraid..."

Gu Ruo saw that Li Er was getting more and more impatient, so she hurriedly comforted Xiao Wu and said, "Little Wu, don't be afraid, Brother Li is playing with you, mother will come and find you."

Gu Ruo clenched her fists tightly, and finally walked towards the house. As soon as she reached the door, Li Er grabbed her by the hair and dragged her in.
