Using the same method as before, she wiped all the camphor wood juice on the bones, and then wrapped the whole body with white paper dipped in white vinegar.
Like a mummy!
About half the time of the candle incense, there were five red spots on the pure white paper that was originally attached to the skeleton.
They are the facial bone, the clavicle, the ulna and the sternum on the skull, and the other is the back of the head.
How can the white paper appear red
It's not the yamen in the Jinjiang yamen, naturally I don't know what it means, and everyone can only stare at it, puzzled.
Ji Yunshu took down the papers one by one and explained, "The method I used just now was to verify whether the deceased was injured before he died, wipe the skeleton with camphor wood juice, and cover it with paper dipped in white vinegar. If there is a red spot on the paper, it means that the deceased was injured just before he died. If the color on the paper turns blue, it proves that the five injuries on the deceased were caused earlier before death, but now the five wounds on the paper are If the place turns red, it is enough to prove that before the deceased was pushed down the well, there were traces of pulsing with someone."
I see!
She asked Master Yu, "Master, was there anyone missing from the academy a year ago?"
Although Master Yu was old, he had a very good memory. He pinched his fingers and thought about it. He was somewhat similar to the fortune-teller. He shook his head and said, "No, the students in the academy are all here, presumably The people at the bottom of the well should not be from my Mingshan Academy."
"Is that an outsider?"
"That's not right. The academy has long established a rule that outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit. How can outsiders be in the academy, and even in the academy, how can they die in that abandoned well?"
Ji Yunshu thought about it, and then turned his attention to the pile of skeletons in front of him.
No sound for a long time!
Master Yu asked, "Mr. Ji, what can you find out?"
"First, find out who the deceased is."
"It's already piled up with bones, how do you know?"
She opened her lips, "Painting bones!"
painted bones
The guys started talking quietly.
She continued, "The most difficult thing to draw on bones is a corpse that has been burned to death for more than two years, and a corpse that has been soaked in water for a year is the easiest to draw, but I don't have enough time, so I can only draw a rough model. Come out and take a look again to see if you know each other."
After she finished speaking, she ordered someone to bring some pen, ink, paper and inkstone, flatten the paper, and start drawing with a pen.
The people around held their breath and watched curiously, and saw Ji Yunshu measuring the width and length of the head with his fingers, and then drawing the small bones on the paper one by one, scattered many pieces, and finally, little by little combined into one piece.
Her brush strokes are smooth and she draws extremely fast.
Soon, an unpainted portrait appeared on the paper. Although it was not refined, the general model was still drawn.
After the ink was dry, she picked up the portrait, handed it to Master Yu, and said, "I don't have enough time, it's not very accurate, but at least there are three-point portraits. Look, do you know this person?"
Master Yu took the portrait, squinted his eyes, pressed his wrinkled brows tightly, and shook his head slowly, "There is no such person in the academy, but these eyebrows are somewhat similar. , I just can't remember it for a while."
He simply handed the portrait to his students, "Come on, you all come and see. Do you know this person? I'm going blind, so I can't see clearly."
Those people gathered around!
"This person isn't from our academy, right? I've never seen him before."
"do not know."
But some people said, "It looks a little familiar."
"The eyebrows are also very familiar!"
There was a half-hearted discussion.
As a result, someone exclaimed, "It's Guo He!"
Whoa!
Say a person's name!
Guo He
Everyone looked at it hard, suddenly surprised, "Yes, it's Guo He, this portrait is of Guo He."
Someone handed the portrait to Master Yu again, "Teacher, look, this person is Guo He."
Master Yu pulled the portrait closer to look again, made a "tsk" in his mouth, and nodded, "Yes, it's Guo He."
Ji Yunshu immediately asked, "Who is Guo He?"
"That was one of my students, but he had already left the academy a year ago, so how could he fall into the well? He became this pile of bones?"
"Can you tell me in detail?"
Master Yu sighed, "He is one of the most naughty students I've been teaching for decades, often making the whole academy messy and giving people headaches, but he's also an extremely smart person, with good academics and homework, but he Stubborn, I have taught him a few times, but every time I read that he couldn't bear to expel him from the academy for the sake of his pure nature. , Since that time, he left a letter and left, and there is no more news, I still remember that day clearly, it was June 13 last year, and today, it has been a year."
Guo He has the most flexible mind in the entire academy. Others have ten lines in one eye. He has twenty lines in one eye, and he can write down everything he sees without forgetting every word. If he hadn't left the academy, he would have been ranked among the top three in this year's high school. , So after Guo Heliushu left, Master Yu was seriously ill at the time, lying on the bed for half a month before getting out of bed!
Everyone knows that Master Yu values Guo He very much.
Can-
Master Yu shook his head and pushed the portrait away, "Why did he die?"
feeling terrible!
unwilling to accept.
Some people also questioned, "This portrait is painted with the dead person's life image, how is this possible? Lying here, it is clearly a pile of bones, how can anyone in the world paint a pile of dead people who have turned into bones? Now, the person in this portrait is just similar to Guo He, not necessarily him."
Such doubts are not unreasonable!
Five years ago, when Ji Yunshu first arrived at Jinjiang Yamen, he painted a rotting corpse in front of everyone. Everyone was surprised, but also very suspicious. After finding the bracelet that his daughter had been wearing all the time, it was confirmed that the deceased was her daughter, and the woman in the portrait was exactly the same as her daughter. Therefore, everyone deeply admired Mr. Ji, who had just come to the yamen.
On the first day, Ji Yunshu became a fan.
And the first fan is the county magistrate Liu Qingping!
At this moment, she said calmly and calmly, "This painting was rushed out in a hurry, so naturally it is not accurate, but in any case, it is three-point similar to the deceased, and since you recognize the person named Guo He, the deceased will be It must be him, there will be no difference."
"Open your mouth!"
