[Third update, continue three more tomorrow]

Putting aside his identity and position, Sun Shaozong actually applauded the death of Daoyan Zhenren's master and apprentice.

But unfortunately, the master of the 'pleasure and hatred' was instigated by the master of the black post, and sent the body to Dali Temple for provocation, which made it difficult for Sun Shaozong to stay out of it.

As the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, this case must be solved!

As the famous Shaoqing of Dali Temple who has just taken office, this case must be solved as soon as possible!

But he said that after Chen Jingde was sent away, Sun Shaozong entered the room and simply checked the case records transferred from Shuntian Prefecture.

It turned out that the content inside was a little messy, and there was a lot of content that overlapped with the original data.

So Sun Shaozong immediately ordered Liu Xianglian to bring in a few scribes to sort out and compare the records of these cases together, screen out what Dali Temple does not have, and then put them into categories so that they can read them.

"Second brother."

Hearing about these trivial errands again, Liu Xianglian couldn't help complaining: "Have you forgotten that I have also practiced martial arts, I have been surrounded by papers all day, isn't it blind?"

Sun Shaozong rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Go home and ask your mother-in-law, do you want you to kill people with knives and guns, or do you want to handle official business honestly."

Liu Xianglian pouted: "This woman is naturally long-haired and short-sighted. Ask her... Second brother? Second brother!"

But it was Sun Shaozong who didn't listen to him at all, and went out of the official office.

Liu Xianglian chased a few steps behind, and seeing that she couldn't catch up—it was hard to tell from outside—he had to go back to the room angrily.

While thinking about the help of those scribes, I wondered suspiciously, could it be that my mother-in-law asked my sister-in-law to blow the pillow wind

Otherwise, why did the second brother let himself go home and ask her

No matter which yamen it is in, as long as it is equipped with a morgue and a burial office, it must be located in the most remote place.

Even many local officials like to store the corpses involved in criminal cases in the Yizhuang outside the city—the capital is not enough, because the area is too large, it is really difficult to transport and examine the corpses back and forth between the city and the city. too much trouble.

Therefore, going down to Wanping and Daxing counties, up to the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, a separate morgue was built in the yamen to store the bodies involved in the case.

The book is back to normal.

Sun Shaozong went out of the official office, and did not rush to the morgue to participate in the autopsy—his current status is not suitable for such a thing—but went to the lake first to re-examine the traces of the Wu Peng boat.

As a result, there was still not much progress, but it was further confirmed that this was indeed not the scene of the murder, but the place where the body was thrown.

Moreover, according to the blood stained in the cabin and the rigidity of the corpse, the location of the murder should not be too far from the Dragon King Temple.

Because there was still residual temperature in the chest cavity of the corpse at that time, considering that it was snowing at the time, the time of death should be within half an hour to an hour.

Judging from the wound, the instruments used to dig out the heart and the lungs should be the same handle—that is to say, the murderer had plucked out the hearts of Daoyan's master and apprentice successively.

Considering that his method of incising the chest cavity is very unfamiliar, it should not be too short.

In addition, in broad daylight, the corpse must be loaded on the boat and transported to the vicinity of the Dali Temple in broad daylight. There is not much time left to transport the corpse from the first scene to the boat.

If you can find the means of transportation to transport the body, you may be able to follow the clues and lock the approximate scope of the first murder scene.

In other words, if the murderer is really a beggar, there shouldn't be any means of transportation, right

Could it be that they killed people on the shore and then dumped their bodies...

In this way, Daoyan and his apprentice may have disguised themselves as monks and hid in the tidal flat near the Dragon King Temple - which is quite a desolate place, and there are reeds to hide, it is indeed a good place to hide.

It's just that they never imagined that someone could detect their every move, and it also attracted revenge from their enemies.

tsk~

At this point of the deduction, I have to be confused by the ability of the black post owner.

That's all, it's useless to think about it now, let's go and see the autopsy first.

After carefully examining it several times, Sun Shaozong jumped off the Wu Peng boat and rushed to the morgue in the southwest corner.

Compared to Shuntian Mansion, where corpses are kept all the year round, the morgue here is much 'desolate', and even the necessary stench is barely there.

This is proof of poor performance!

When Sun Shaozong walked into Dongshou's autopsy room, Chen Jingde was covering his nose and huddled in the corner with a look of disgust.

When he found out that Sun Shaozong had come in from outside, he hurriedly put away his handkerchief and stepped forward to greet him with a dog-legged manner.

Seeing that his own salute was not enough, and he had to call for two busy men to come over, Sun Shaozong waved his hand hurriedly and said, "There is no need to be more polite in this place. How is it, did you find out anything?"

The two monks were also frightened, until Sun Shaozong approached the corpse and hurriedly explained: "Reporting to the eldest lord, that skinny monk, the fatal injury should be a knife in the chest, this huge one cannot be determined for the time being, but it should be in this way."

"Where's the evidence?"

"There is a puncture wound on the thin back spine, which penetrates deep into the bone, and the traces and methods of opening the chest are different. Therefore, I infer that it should be the trace left by the initial full-strength penetration - and the ability to penetrate this Waiting for the location, obviously has caused fatal injuries."

"Although the shoes were taken off, the shape analysis of the corpse spots generated from the heels shows that the deceased should have been dragged - lying on his back, the kind of drag with his heels on the ground."

"and also… "

Although the morgue in Dali Temple seemed a bit deserted, these two sages were both shrewd and capable, and even if they couldn't catch up with Lao Xu of Shuntian Prefecture, they should still be quite different.

However, Sun Shaozong did not completely rely on them, and listened to their explanations while observing carefully.

Although he also examined the corpse that day, the corpse was still 'fresh' at that time, and some traces had not been revealed—for example, the trailing corpse on the heel, but there was no trace at that time.

Seeing that Sun Shaozong observed carefully, but was not frightened by the corpse that was cut open, and thinking about the reputation of this adult, the two men gradually became bolder.

"Sir, please take a look."

One of them held up a handful of things from the case next to them, and said cautiously, "This is the residue taken out from the stomach of the corpse. It seems that they had just eaten before they died."

Although he was brave, he did not dare to send that thing to Sun Shaozong, and he was even ready to plead guilty at any time.

But he was obviously overthinking it.

Sun Shaozong has gained a lot of 'knowledge' on the battlefield in the past two years. How could he be afraid of the leftovers

At the moment, regardless of the sour smell, he leaned closer to take a closer look.

"Huh? This thing seems to be... "

And when he saw it, he really saw the strangeness of the writing!

The yellow, orange and orange pieces of food that have not had time to digest, how can it look like sour and spicy dried bamboo shoots - a special dish that I have tasted near Qingxuguan and improved at home!

Looking at these residues, as well as the dogwood fragments stained on it, and some less obvious spices, it is obviously the original hot and sour dried bamboo shoots.

in this case…

Before the two fake monks died, they even went to Qingxuguan and swaggered around the market

Since they dared to act like this, it is obvious that Daoyan's master and disciple are very confident in their disguise, and by inference, they should not take the initiative to hide in the reeds.

Secretly denying the previous inference, Sun Shaozong immediately ordered: "Chen Si, go to Qingxuguan, look for a restaurant called Yingkelai, and ask if two monks ordered their signature dishes yesterday morning. Hot and sour dried bamboo shoots."

"If there is, first ask the time when they appeared, and then go from Qingxuguan to the Dragon King Temple, give me a careful investigation, and be sure to find witnesses along the way!"
