Last time, the back of the female corpse was injured, but it was not found. It was skinned at first. Later, Bo Ruoyou's autopsy found that Wu Xiang did not take it as the most important clue. But at this moment, another murdered female corpse was also skinned. , the case is quite different.
Wu Xiang immediately squatted down, "But the same person did it?"
Bo Ruoyou shook her head, "It's not certain right now, but it's very possible that the female corpse examined last night wore a red dress, and the victim in front of me also wore a red dress. The last time it was strangled, this time it was strangled. The murderer didn't use a sharp weapon. point."
After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, she leaned over to look at the corpse. The lower body of the corpse was soaked in the water. In addition to the mud staining the skirt, there were also a few dark water plants wrapped around the legs. Turn around and look up the Yuxi River.
Wu Xiang came forward, "How is it?"
Bo Ruoyou said: "There are no footprints on the shore, and it is impossible to get entangled in such aquatic plants. The body must have been washed down from the upper reaches. As for why she was lying on her stomach, it may be that she was entangled in the water when she was thrown into the water." What a heavy object."
After a pause, Bo Ruoyou said again: "She lost one of her shoes, look up and down the river, maybe you can find it."
The Yuxi River is not wide, behind them is a restaurant, and opposite is a row of private houses, Wu Xiang immediately waved to someone after hearing what Bo Ruoyou said, "Hou Yang, take a person to search the upper reaches of the river to see where There are such aquatic plants in the river, and the deceased lost an embroidered shoe, so he went along the river to look for it, the Yuxi River flows gently, so it might be floating somewhere."
Hou Yang was the tall clerk who was called a monkey by Wu Xiang in Yizhuang the day before yesterday. Hearing this, he responded, called another person and turned to leave. Wu Xiang looked at Bo Ruoyou again, "Can you still test it What else comes out?"
Bo Ruoyou shook her head, "It's not convenient here, so I'd better take the body back to Yizhuang for another examination."
There were quite a lot of people watching around, and there were also many discussions, Wu Xiang nodded and called a few yamen servants to take the body away.
After this scene, all the people who don't know Bo Ruoyou's identity will understand that Bo Ruoyou is actually a gangster, such a slim girl with snowy skin and beautiful figure is actually a gangster of Jingzhao Mansion!
For a moment, the discussion became even more intense. After the corpse was carried away, Bo Ruoyou looked at the lying place of the corpse for a while, because the wound on the corpse was at the heart, and there were faint bloodstains on the lying place, she squatted by the water and looked at the corpse. He stared at him, and suddenly turned around to look at the surrounding people. Among the surrounding people, some were standing behind the restaurant and close to the fence, and they were all stopped by the Yamen at the moment, and some were standing on the white jade bridge a few feet away. Some of them stood under the budding willows on the other side of the river.
Bo Ruoyou glanced at these people one by one, making eye contact with them from time to time, most of them perked up and showed curiosity towards her when they saw her, and some people were staring at her, and now subconsciously avoided Eyes, there were only a few people who were very calm when looking at her. Everyone had different expressions, but Bo Ruoyou felt a slight chill down her spine.
Seeing her like this, Wu Xiang asked again: "What are you looking at?"
Bo Ruoyou withdrew her gaze, shook her head and said, "I don't know why, at that moment just now, I felt that the murderer was watching us."
Hearing these words, even Wu Xiang felt a chill down his spine. He hurriedly looked back, but there were nearly a hundred people in all directions, how could he tell who the murderer was
Wu Xiang looked suspicious, and Bo Ruoyou said in a low voice: "The murderer kills people, but he doesn't seem to be doing it for money, and he likes to dissect women's bodies, and his thoughts are quite weird. Now that there are so many people, if he knows that the government is here, Most likely will come to see."
Saying that, Bo Ruoyou stood up, "But this is just speculation, I'd better go to Yizhuang to do an autopsy as soon as possible to see if I can find other clues."
Wu Xiang nodded, "You go first, I still have to visit the surrounding area to see if I can find the place where she was killed."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, and Wu Xiang told He Chang, "You should follow Xiao Bo to Yizhuang."
He Chang didn't dare to be careless, and responded repeatedly. Bo Ruoyou washed his handguards with the water of Yuxi River, and then they went to the shore together. The closer they got, the more eyes looked around Bo Ruoyou. When she was about to pass through the crowd, the crowded crowd suddenly moved out of the way. There was a bit of fear on their faces, as if she had something unclean on her body.
After walking over, I heard some people talking about how unlucky it is for a woman to work for a husband.
He Chang frowned when he heard this, and went to look at Bo Ruoyou, but saw her expression as usual, she didn't seem to care, He Chang coughed lightly and said: "These people don't understand, they always like to talk nonsense, girl don't Take it to heart."
Bo Ruoyou smiled wryly for a moment, "I'm used to it, it's okay."
After finishing speaking, they got into the carriage, and the three of them headed for Yizhuang.
The yamen who delivered the corpse arrived at Yizhuang first. When Bo Ruoyou arrived, Uncle Kun was offering incense in the front hall. When he saw Bo Ruoyou arrived, he came forward with a smile, "Miss Bo is here—"
Bo Ruoyou nodded and entered the back hall, and saw that the body had been placed on the mortuary wooden board, she glanced at He Chang, "Can you record the medical certificate?"
He Chang nodded quickly, and Bo Ruoyou nodded, "Okay, let me test it, and you remember it."
He Chang hurriedly went to Uncle Kun to find pens and inks. When he came in, Bo Ruoyou had carefully removed the corpse's clothes, first checked the spots on the corpse, and when he saw He Chang entered, he signaled to him that he could write.
"The deceased was a woman, five feet two inches in length, aged between fifteen and sixteen. When found, her dress was intact, her face, hands and feet had no obvious trauma, and the dark purple corpse spots were mainly found on her back, buttocks and back of her thighs. Other than that In addition, there were light purple corpse spots on the chest and abdomen, fading with finger pressure. Rigidity has formed, and there are small white spots on the eyelids, which can be regarded as mild turbidity. Combined with the calculation that the corpse fell into the water, the time of death should be around midnight last night. "
"The fatal injury of the deceased was on the neck. There were blue-purple strangle marks under the larynx on the neck. The strangle groove was deep and thin. It extended from the throat to the back of the neck in a circular arc shape. There were shallow knot marks at the back of the neck. There are spots of bleeding on the edge and blisters, and the epidermis seems to be peeling off, which is due to the struggling of the deceased."
"The deceased's face was slightly congested, and there was subcutaneous bleeding on the eye mask and face. Because the knot was under the throat, the tip of the deceased's tongue protruded and there were teeth marks from being bitten. In addition, the deceased's fingernails were clean, and the nail on the ring finger of his left hand was broken. There are traces of bleeding, and there are abrasions and scratches on the tiger's mouth, which should be caused by struggling hard when he was killed."
"The deceased showed no signs of being violated. There was a circular bruise on the vest of the deceased. The cause is unknown for the time being. The strangest thing is the wound on the deceased's heart. A large piece of flesh and blood was peeled off from the deceased's heart, and the wound entered Half an inch of meat, the wound is smooth, it should be peeled off for a thin knife, the boundary is arc-shaped, shaped like a circular fan, the murderer may be good at using knives."
After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, he checked some scratches on the heel and other places, which He Chang recorded.
At this moment, all the clothes on the corpse were removed, and due to the short time of death, it was almost a fresh woman's body, and the skin on the surface of the corpse was fair and smooth, and it could be seen that it was a delicate body, except for the round wound on the chest, which made people shudder. . The skin was peeled off, leaving only a piece of bloody red flesh, and the wound turned white due to being soaked in the river water. What is strange is that the arc of the wound is round. The murderer is not only good at using a knife, but also can use the knife Draw a regular circle on the skin, and the incision is quite neat.
Bo Ruoyou stared at the wound and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a while, Bo Ruoyou turned her gaze to the dress. There was a lot of muddy water on the hem of the dress. After Bo Ruoyou checked it carefully for a while, she asked He Chang to fetch water to wash off the muddy stains on it. , but saw that the original bright red skirt was stained with stains of different colors, which looked like some kind of colored ink or dye.
This post-mortem examination took half an hour. Not long after, Wu Xiang also came back from the outside. As soon as he entered the back hall, Bo Ruoyou asked He Chang to hand over the autopsy to Wu Xiang. Wu Xiang looked at it and said: " After searching for half a mile, the embroidered shoes have not yet been found, and the location of the murder is temporarily unclear. The aquatic plants are found in the entire Yuxi River, but they are found in places where the water flow is gentle and deep—"
Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, "The corpse spots on the body are different in depth. I speculate that the murderer strangled the deceased first, then made him lie flat and stripped the flesh of the heart, and then threw the corpse. During this period, probably At least two to three hours have passed."
"Two to three hours? When you die in Zishi, it will be the middle of the night when you throw the body."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "After a person dies, the corpse spots will appear very quickly, but the corpse spots within three hours will change due to the lying position of the corpse, and now the dark corpse spots are mostly on the back of the corpse , which is enough to prove that the deceased was lying down for a period of time after being murdered. If the murderer quickly threw the corpse away, and the corpse was lying prone when we found it, the corpse spots would change instead of the current form. And the corpse in the water The change speed of the plaques will slow down, and after three hours, the plaques on the corpse will not change easily, so the murderer must have thrown the corpse within two to three hours. Corpse spots."
After saying this, seeing Wu Xiang nodded, Bo Ruoyou said again: "In addition, there are some stains of different colors on the deceased's dress—"
Bo Ruoyou brought the dress over, and spread out the hem of the skirt, "These marks are mostly on the hem of the skirt, it's very messy, it should have been accidentally stained when she was killed, either colored ink or dye—"
"Dye?" Wu Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up, "Not far upstream from the place where the corpse was found, there is an abandoned dyeing workshop. Dyeing vats, there are some discarded dyes in the dyeing vats, one of the vats was broken, and the dyes flowed into the river outside."
Bo Ruoyou also listened to his expression and said, "You can look for it to see if there is any blood. The murderer wanted to peel the skin, but it took so long in the middle, most likely he was acting in a place where no one found it. If no one lives in this dyeing workshop , just happened to be the place where the crime was committed.”
But Wu Xiang frowned, "If the crime was committed in the dyeing workshop, why didn't you just dump the corpse in the dyeing workshop? Instead, throw the corpse in the river?"
Bo Ruoyou frowned, she couldn't tell what the dyeing workshop looked like before, but she pointed to the wound on the deceased's heart and said: "Look at the wound first, the wound surface is very smooth, the murderer should He's a very good swordsman."
Wu Xiang immediately clenched the long knife by his side, Bo Ruoyou knew why his first reaction was like this, shook his head and said: "It's not that he is good at skill, but that he is good at using small knives. You can see that the arc is cut very neatly. This is not painting, but cutting on human flesh, I'm afraid Brother Ang, you can't cut such a regular shape yourself."
Wu Xiang took a closer look, and found that the knife was very smooth, and there were no extra cuts. It seemed that this person was very good at cutting human flesh. He frowned, "What kind of person is good at doing this?"
Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, "Cook, or butcher."
Wu Xiang understood and felt it was reasonable, she pondered for a moment and said: "I will take someone to search the dyeing workshop, the identity of the deceased has not yet been found out, people have already been sent out to investigate, I hope to get news sooner."
There are now four corpses in the back hall, the corpse last night was still far away, Bo Ruoyou looked at it, "Can I inspect the corpse that was inspected yesterday?"
Wu Xiang nodded naturally, "Of course, it's really good that you are willing to do your best."
Wu Xiang didn't delay too much. As soon as he took people away, Bo Ruoyou continued to stay for the autopsy. She first smeared some white wine on the new corpse and waited for the deeper bruises to appear, and then went to examine another corpse. , but before she lifted the blanket covering the corpse, there was a sudden noise outside the Yizhuang, and soon, Sun Zhao's voice came from outside.
"Old lady, don't worry—"
"How can I not be in a hurry, my own granddaughter..."
"Old lady, it may not be the second young lady..."
Bo Ruoyou's complexion changed slightly, and the next moment, a group of people had poured into the back hall. The people who came in were all dressed in fancy clothes, but they didn't seem to know what Yizhuang looked like. They saw four corpses posing As she walked, her footsteps were stagnant, while the old lady walking in front had gray hair and wrinkled hair, but her eyes were as clear as a mirror. She glanced at the two living people, Bo Ruoyou and He Chang, and then saw at a glance She recognized the deceased at a glance, and just called out "Ling'er" before collapsing.
Sun Zhao's face changed when he saw this, and Bo Ruoyou saw that there were men behind him, so he quickly covered the dead man with a felt blanket, but it was too late, the old lady had already seen this scene, and she was captured by Sun Zhao and her body. The nurse next to her supported her, with sad and angry faces on her face, and turned to point at Sun Zhao, "You... you... Ling'er died tragically. How dare you humiliate her like this?"
"Linger, my Linger..."
The old lady wept bitterly, and walked to the board with the help of others. When she moved, other people crowded at the door also came in, all of them were men and women in rich clothes and temples.
When everyone saw the face of the deceased, their expressions also changed slightly, with expressions of grief welling up on their faces.
"Linger, it's really Linger, my child..."
Followed by a middle-aged woman, when she saw the deceased, she fell to the ground crying and couldn't stand still.
Bo Ruoyou was originally standing in front of her, so she couldn't help but take a step back at this moment. She has been doing the job for several years, and she has long been used to seeing all kinds of life and death. For a while, she just stood aside with her eyes closed, waiting for the family members to identify the dead body.
The middle-aged woman cried even more sadly than the old lady. Others came up to comfort her, but the old lady was the first to calm down, standing up against the servants, pointing at Bo Ruoyou and He Chang, "You... What are you guys doing? How can you let Linger be so... so naked here, you... "
With a look of grief and anger on her face, Sun Zhao hurried forward, "Don't be angry, old lady, this is the work of the government office. Right now, an autopsy is in progress. The lady in the house died strangely. We will treat it as a homicide case, and an autopsy is required—"
The old lady looked displeased, "Autopsy? Which of you is the author?"
Sun Zhao quickly pointed at Bo Ruoyou, "This is our work—"
The old lady sneered, "The maid in your house is a woman? Then who is this person?"
"Don't be angry, old lady, this is really a gangster's work, he is a servant of the government office, and he is here to help—"
The old lady looked at He Chang, then at Bo Ruoyou, and then at her silent granddaughter, holding her heart with one hand as she crumbled. Her granddaughter was precious and young, but after her death, she was let go like this In this shabby room, she was still seen by a man, she felt her eyes darken, and tears fell down again.
Sun Zhao shouted: "It's none of your business here, why don't you back down?"
Bo Ruoyou knew in her heart that she was helping her out, Wei Wei blessed her body and turned around and went out. He Chang hurriedly followed, fearing that he would offend him, she left the back hall with a thin layer of sweat on her face.
When the two of them left, the people in the back hall couldn't care less about blaming them, they cried and persuaded, and Bo Ruoyou felt a little sad when they heard it.
He Chang sighed, "I don't know which noble family it is from. My lord is so nice and friendly. I think his status is not low. When meeting such a family, this case will be difficult."
When Bo Ruoyou was in Qingzhou, he knew that it was quite difficult for the government to handle the case. For example, the case of the Marquis of Anqing, before Huo Weilou went, He Cheng had no progress, and it was his inaction, which was too much of a hindrance. Looking at the situation now, it seems that It's the same.
Weeping and crying inside, Bo Ruoyou knew that today's test would probably fail.
Sure enough, soon Sun Zhao came out sweating profusely and waved to them. She and He Chang followed Sun Zhao to a secluded place, and Sun Zhao said: "It's the old lady of the Zhongqin residence, and the deceased is the Zhongqin residence." The second miss, Wei Ling, this Wei Ling didn't return all night last night, Uncle Zhongqin's mansion was already in a hurry, this morning they heard that a woman was found dead, so they sent someone to inquire. The description is somewhat similar to that of Wei Ling, and this shocked the whole uncle's residence, the old lady led the people to the yamen first, and then came over."
Bo Ruoyou sighed a little, regardless of status, the grief of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person is the same.
After Sun Zhao finished speaking, he asked, "How did you test it just now? Are there any obvious clues?"
Bo Ruoyou shook her head, "Obviously there are no clues, it's just... the deceased was also stripped of a piece of flesh, just like the girl from the Feng family who was discovered last time, and the girl suspects that the two were killed by the same murderer."
Sun Zhao raised his eyebrows, "The same murderer? Serial murder?"
Bo Ruoyou stared, "Yes, Minnv was so skeptical for the time being, and was about to compare whether the scars of the two deceased have similarities, when the lord came. If she wanted to be sure, Minnv had to test again."
Sun Zhao sighed sadly, "I'm afraid it won't be tested."
At this time, a person who came with him shouted at the exit of the tunnel: "Master Sun, please take a step to speak—"
Hearing this, Sun Zhao sighed hurriedly and went forward. He didn't know what he had said to Sun Zhao. Sun Zhao pondered for a moment and nodded, and the two whispered a few more words. Ruoyou stepped forward and said: "The old lady insisted not to let the young lady's body be placed here, she said that she would take the body back for the funeral, and asked us to keep it a secret."
The corners of Bo Ruoyou's lips moved slightly, but she still didn't say anything, she just asked, "Then there is still a chance for an autopsy in the future?"
Sun Zhao sighed, "It's difficult."
This time, Bo Ruoyou's complexion was slightly dull. Many scars on the corpse would take some time to emerge, and more clues might be found after a second or even third inspection, but now he directly took the body away. The case that was not easy to solve was obstructed again.
Seeing Bo Ruoyou's serious face, Sun Zhao said again: "But I have already made an agreement with the elders of their residence. If you have any questions, you can still go to the residence to inquire."
Bo Ruoyou nodded lightly, and soon the servants of the uncle's mansion also followed in, borrowed the bed from Yizhuang and sent Wei Ling's body to the carriage. Not long after, the group of uncle Zhongqin's mansion disappeared outside the Yizhuang , and Sun Zhao had to follow.
Bo Ruoyou stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking at Uncle Kun and He Chang.
When Wu Xiang came back, Bo Ruoyou had already experienced the dead body examined yesterday, because another day later, the dead body was even more decomposed, and the clues obtained were the same as yesterday, knowing that Wei Ling's body had been taken back to Bo Mansion, Wu Xiang banged on the door angrily.
"Don't they want to solve the case? Why are they so ignorant?"
Uncle Kun sighed at the side, "Miss Qianjin, but she died outside for no reason like this, it is always bad news if it is spread, and this is not the first time we have seen it."
Wu Xiang gritted her teeth, "It's because I know that looking forward and backward is the most time-consuming, that's why I'm angry."
Uncle Kun shook his head and stopped talking, Wu Xiang lifted his face and said, "No, I'll go to your lord. If this case is to be solved, I have to ask the Wei family what Wei Ling did yesterday."
Seeing that he was about to leave again in a hurry, Bo Ruoyou hurriedly asked: "How about going to the dyeing workshop?"
Only then did Wu Xiang remember that he hadn't talked about the dyeing workshop, and said: "You guessed right, we did find bloodstains in the dyeing workshop, the place where the crime happened can be determined, but we haven't found anything else for now, that place is quite It is remote, even the gate is broken, it is said that anyone can enter it, and the children nearby like to go there to play."
Bo Ruoyou nodded thoughtfully, and seeing that it was getting late, Wu Xiang said, "I'll go find your lord, you go back first, and go directly to the yamen tomorrow." Then she left quickly.
Bo Ruoyou had no choice but to pack up her belongings and leave Yizhuang, but as soon as she walked out the door, she saw Eunuch Fu walking down from a carriage with a smile on her face. Bo Ruoyou was surprised, "Why is Eunuch here?"
Eunuch Fu turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage, "I'm not the only one coming."
The curtain was lifted, and although the light in the carriage was dim, Bo Ruoyou still saw a man sitting in the carriage like a giant Buddha, the light from the carriage door fell on his knees, and the gold dragon pattern on his robe stretched out its teeth and claws, with an imposing manner .
Bo Ruoyou's heart moved, Huo Weilou also came!
