Zhao Yue was so frightened that he took a step back, seeing clearly that it was a blood sparrow that died, Zhao Yue couldn't help but cursed again, "Who did this! How courageous! My blood sparrow is so precious to you all!" do you know!"
He misplaced his teeth, seeing that Huo Weilou was about to suppress his anger here, and pulled the corners of his lips again, "Master Hou laughed, it must be that the servants in the garden made fun of the little bird, Master Hou, this way please-"
The attendant shook his hands to remove the bird's body, but Huo Weilou's feet did not move, "It seems that it is more than just a joke to do such a hand to a bird."
Bo Ruoyou had already stepped forward, she didn't shy away from looking at the sparrow's corpse, and quickly lowered her eyes, "The blood on this sparrow's corpse has splatter marks, it must have been nailed to death alive, and—"
On the side facing her was the sharp point of the nail, she took out a handkerchief to pad her hands, picked up the point of the nail, and lifted up the sparrow carcass, this time, the nail head was exposed, the person who saw the nail head In an instant, her expression became more serious.
She looked at Huo Weilou, Huo Weilou seemed to recognize this thing too, her eyes turned cold.
Zhao Yue looked blank, and Bo Ruoyou said, "The nail is more than two inches long, with a thick bottom and a thick top, and a top with four edges engraved with blessings and longevity patterns. These are very common coffin nails."
Zhao Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet, "Coffin... coffin nails?"
Killing a living bird with such a cruel method is already chilling, Zhao Yue never thought that the nails used to kill a living bird were actually coffin nails, what kind of purpose does this person have for killing a living bird with such a funeral object
Bo Ruoyouzai looked at the nail carefully, then raised his eyes and scanned the flower garden, "The nail is new, this man knows that the king of the county loves these birds, killing the birds is not counted, but he threw the corpse here, It shows that he is not afraid of the county king finding out, and even..."
She looked at the bloody sharp nail and said, "I even want to use this method to scare the county king."
Zhao Yue's forehead was covered with cold sweat, "How courageous! Check, I will be strictly investigated, and see who is so bold!"
Bo Ruoyou put Que'er's body back into the hands of the attendants, and solemnly reminded: "Someone just died in the garden, and there are still people killing blood sparrows like this. The county king must be careful." After a slight pause, she continued: "There are many The murderer all began to vent his anger by torturing puppies and cats. Those who have such a tendency should be extra vigilant. It is not yet known whether the murderer is related to the case, but there is already a hidden murderer in the park. In the past few days, whether it is the county king or others, you must be vigilant."
Zhao Yue's heart skipped a beat when he said this, and he quickly responded, but Bo Ruoyou was worried, and said, "Tell the head hunter about this, and see if you can find any clues related to killing birds when you search the garden."
Zhao Yue agreed again, and Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou left the Bird Garden.
After getting into the carriage and going to Yizhuang, Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Ordinary people like to make fun of birds, but they just use knives and arrows, but this person used coffin nails, which is too intimidating. "
Huo Weilou half embraced her, "But do you think this person is related to the murder?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "I don't know if Catcher Wu can find anything."
The carriage headed to Yizhuang, Yu Xun's body had already been sent to Yizhuang, because he died last night, the body was very rotten, Bo Ruoyou was in a hurry to come to Yizhuang, and also wanted to have an autopsy earlier, so as not to rot much with the body Clues are covered up.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yizhuang gate, and the two of them entered the gate one after the other. Uncle Kun and Yacha, who were guarding the Yizhuang, were quite nervous when they saw Huo Weilou coming together, and Bo Ruoyou went straight into the back hall with the cage.
After making some preparations, Bo Ruoyou started the autopsy. Yu Xun had no extra trauma on his body, because he came out of the boat, and he paid much attention to maintenance on weekdays. He looked slender and flexible, like a woman, but stronger than a woman's skeleton Tough, Bo Ruoyou took white vinegar and smeared it on the corpse, and after waiting for a while, more bruises emerged from under the surface of the corpse.
Most of the bruises were on the abdomen, which were left by the murderer when he moved them. He either held the person on his shoulders or hugged him with his arms across his waist. There was also a bruise on the back shoulder of the deceased, which seemed to be pushed out by his arms. Ruoyou thought about it, but felt that she was left behind when she was strangled.
There were no other traces on the body surface, and Bo Ruoyou started the autopsy. As she expected, the spine at the neck only hurt the meridians. Yes, the stomach of the deceased was empty, and it was strange to examine the five internal organs. Even though Yu Xun hadn't eaten for the second half of the day yesterday, but he drank tea at night, even if he went to the clean room during that time, the five internal organs were at least still intact. There is a small amount of tea residue.
Seeing her puzzled face, Huo Weilou asked from the side: "What?"
Bo Ruoyou revealed the suspicious point, Huo Weilou also felt strange, "If you have never drank tea, then the two teacups in the house, could it be that two people entered the room? Both teacups were used by visitors?"
Bo Ruoyou couldn't figure it out for a while, "If there are two people, it is indeed more sure that the murderer will succeed, but one more person knows the truth, and the risk is more. How can Yu Xun form a death feud with the two?"
She shook her head and didn't think it through for a while, but felt that she had gained too little, so she began to sew up the corpse.
Huo Weilou comforted him: "If there are two murderers, the chances of showing his flaws will be greater. There are many people in the garden, and he has been in the garden for three years. He always has a lot of hatred, so Wu Xiang should investigate carefully. There are always clues."
Bo Ruoyou nodded in response. It took more than half an hour before and after this. She turned her eyes and looked out the window, only to see that the sun had already set to the west. After the body of the deceased was cleaned and the autopsy utensils were cleaned, Bo Ruoyou ordered the yamen to find him Paper and pen, record the income just now in detail, and then send it to the yamen.
Wu Xiang made some inquiries in the Bird Garden, and sure enough, there were quite a few people who had trouble with Yu Xun. Bo Ruoyou waited in the yamen for a while, and then saw Wu Xiang brought five people back for questioning. He saw that Wu Xiang was also a little surprised, and after thinking for a while, he said: "There are many people who have had disputes with him, and he has made things difficult for him. What is the question, if there are two murderers, then there is no need to stick to the fact that the murderer is a tall, strong and powerful person."
Bo Ruoyou agreed, and Wu Xiang didn't delay much, and brought a few yamen servants into the cell.
Sun Zhao knew that the case of Bainiaoyuan was related to the king of Nan'an County, and he had told Wu Xiang to investigate it, but he didn't expect that Huo Weilou would follow him to the Yamen. He thought that the case involved the royal family and the county king, and Huo Weilou was here to supervise the handling of the case. Yes, but Huo Weilou had no such intention, which made him heave a sigh of relief, and saw that Huo Weilou was really worried about Bo Ruoyou.
After Huo Weilou's trip to the southwest, there was a lot of turmoil in the court. Sun Zhao had been an official in Beijing for many years, and he knew that Huo Weilou was retreating if he didn't ask the court. Since then, he respected him more and more. Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou left the yamen.
It was getting late, and Huo Weilou intentionally sent her home. Along the way, Bo Ruoyou was still thinking about the scene of the corpse in the red feather coat hanging on the laurel tree. She had never seen hanging, but she knew how hanging was carried out. Punish Yu Xun with the criminal law, then what kind of crimes Yu Xun has committed, this is not as simple as arguing with the population.
She only hoped that Wu Xiang could ask some clues, when she arrived at the door, it was already nightfall, the carriage stopped, Bo Ruoyou wanted to get up and lift the curtain, but Huo Weilou grabbed her wrist, she couldn't help but raise her lips, "What is Hou Ye going to do?"
Huo Weilou leaned forward and took her into his arms, "Now that there is a case, you have to be busy, I will keep the two of you by your side, so that I don't worry about it."
Bo Ruoyou wanted to refuse at first, but after thinking about it, she responded, "Then come back in the daytime, so as to save them trouble."
Huo Weilou was satisfied, but he didn't want her to leave, the hand on her waist was ready to move, Bo Ruoyou grabbed him, leaned over and kissed the corner of his lips, "Father is waiting for me to go home, I will come back tomorrow." Go visit Lord Hou again."
Before Huo Weilou could react, Bo Ruoyou had already slipped out like a cat. He moved his knuckles and couldn't help stroking the corners of his lips. His heart ached for a while, and he heard the outside door open and close, and the sound of footsteps gradually Fading away until it disappeared, he just let out a sigh and ordered the carriage to return home. Changshoufang went to Lanzhengfang. It was too fast for two sticks of incense. When the carriage stopped at the gate of Houfu, Huo Weilou saw him. There was an extra carriage parked in front of the door.
He knew at a glance that it was Huo Qinghong who had arrived. After Xu walked through the door, not long after, he saw Huo Qinghong waving a dagger in the courtyard. The master came, but he also left because of his three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. Later, he didn't practice these things, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to raise the sword today.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Weilou paced in, Huo Qinghong swayed, almost lost his footing, turned around and blushed slightly, and then asked Huo Weilou, "Where did big brother go? Didn't you stay behind closed doors these days to thank you?"
"There was a case in the garden of the king of Nan'an County. Youyou was going to have an autopsy, so I went with him." After talking about Zhao Yue's words, he asked him, "Have you been to his bird garden a few days ago?"
Huo Qinghong regained his spirits when he heard it, "Yes, I have been there, what case happened in his garden?"
He stopped practicing swords, and followed Huo Weilou to the main courtyard with his dagger in his arms. Huo Weilou said as he walked, "The actor raised in a garden died. He was called Mr. He, do you know him?"
Huo Qinghong used to hang out among this group of dudes. He asked, and Huo Qinghong really started to think about it. However, after thinking for a while, he didn't think of this person. Instead, he sighed: "I knew His garden is very unlucky."
Huo Weilou looked at him suspiciously, and Huo Qinghong said: "When I went that day, I encountered someone killing birds in the garden for fun, and it wasn't hunting birds—"
Huo Weilou felt a strange feeling in his heart, "But using nails?"
Huo Qinghong shook his head, and said with some lingering fear: "No, the bird was strangled to death with a rope, even if it was strangled, it was still hanging on the tree. Something weird and scary."
Huo Weilou stopped in his tracks.
