Liu Renli was also stunned. Seeing that Zhou Heng's disciple-taking and seniority were really not easy to figure out. He understood that Zhou Heng just didn't want the title of master, and thought about it and said.

"Since Mr. Zhou doesn't want to be a master, he will take in apprentices instead of his grandfather. Don't worry about seniority. Just call him uncle, otherwise it will be a mess."

Zhou Heng nodded, "Then call me uncle as you said!"

Zhou Yian, a sturdy man, fell to the ground with a thump.

"Uncle Master is here, I will be worshipped by my nephew!"

Zhou Heng smashed his mouth, it seemed a bit hasty, and there was no apprenticeship, so he lost it

"Okay, get up, let's go see the dead!"

Zhou Yian got up, bowed his body to lead the way, and sometimes raised his sleeves to wipe the corners of his eyes. He looked so excited.

Bypassing the hallway, I came to a small room where there were already several servants, everyone wearing leather aprons and a sweat towel covering their mouths and noses.

As soon as he entered the room, the smell of wine and corpse stinkings spread to his nose. Zhou Yian handed Zhou Heng and Liu Renli two facial towels. Looking at the color, Zhou Heng resisted it, but after thinking about the smell of corpse, he quickly put it on.

Zhou Yian shouted with his slightly protruding belly.

"Everyone can dodge it, let my uncle take a look!"

The turtle's aura appeared on his face. Zhou Heng turned a blind eye and was his nephew. Pride was necessary. Those people dodged and greeted Lord Liu.

Only then did Zhou Heng see the wine jar. The wine jar that the two of them hugged each other was very large and had a wooden lid on it.

One arm

No, now an arm with only bones is hanging from one side, black on it, with flies flying from time to time, and the lid is crooked at the entrance of the tank.

Squat down and you can see the edges of the wine tank and the lid stuck on the humerus, the surface of the bones is not very smooth, and liquid drips from time to time.

Below the wine tank is a twenty-centimeter-thick wooden pallet.

There is a groove in the middle of the tray to fix the wine tank. The edge is larger than the edge of the wine tank mouth, and there are many maggot shells on it.

Liu Renli turned her head and asked.

"The identity of the deceased has been verified?"

When Zhou Yian saw that Captain He was not in the room, he quickly reported:

"Sir, Captain He has already checked the case. The deceased is Wei Jichen, who is the owner of the restaurant. This person is from Jinan Prefecture and is very frugal. He has been doing business in Qingping County for more than ten years, but his family has not been in Qingping County. As for the restaurant's predecessor, Mi Xing, the original clerk had already fired three months ago. The newcomer was recruited for two days, only half a month ago, on the third day of the August 2018, and asked the blacksmith next door that he had never heard of any abnormal movement."

Liu Renli kept nodding, "When do blacksmiths usually leave the shop?"

"Often the sunset!"

Zhou Heng ignored the inquiries of the two, squatted down, reached out to Zhou Yi'an and said:

"Can there be wooden clips?"

Zhou Yian handed over a bamboo clip, which looked a bit like a clip selling fried dough sticks. It was just a little thinner. After picking up several maggot shells, Zhou Heng returned the clip to Zhou Yian.

"The maggot shells of these fly insects are all maggot shells. It is seen that the deceased's arms have been gnawed clean, and the deceased's death is half a month."

Zhou Yian kept nodding, "This fly-worm nephew has not studied much. He only knows that there will be maggots around the deceased. Please give me advice. How do you know the half month of death?"

Zhou Heng glanced at him, saw that he had prepared a charcoal record, and stood up and said:

"Whenever there are dead or rotten meat, summer flies will be found in a quarter of an hour and lay eggs in their bodies. The eggs of the insect turn into maggots in twelve to twenty-two hours, and turn into pupae in three to six days, and turn into flies in about seven days. The pupae here have become dry maggot shells, and the meat on the arm is chewed clean and counted in half a month."

Zhou Yi'an and those people quickly recorded the knowledge, which was not known to our ancestors. Liu Renli looked at Zhou Heng.

"How did Mr. Zhou know so clearly?"

Zhou Heng glanced at him, "Observation, childhood observation, and grandfather's teachings!"

"Been taught a lesson!"

Seeing that several people had finished recording, Zhou Heng waved his hand.

"Release the lid!"

The four of them started to work together and slowly lifted the wooden lid. Zhou Yian held the wooden clip and pressed the dead bone.

Just as the lid was raised, Zhou Heng stared at the lid and paused.

“Stand the lid on one side!”

As he said that, he quickly walked over and two circles appeared on the edge of the lid, one deeper and the other was lightly wet marks.

There were many scratches at the location where some sleeve fabric were pasted, and there were dark brown blood on the edges of the scratches.

"Have you moved the lid?"

Zhou Yian nodded, "Yes, after seeing the wine jar in the wine shop, Captain He ordered his subordinates to open the inspection. He found that the deceased was soaked in the wine, so he quickly transported the wine jar to the meeting hall."

Zhou Yian was quite calm. The four people were already widening their eyes, obviously they felt incredible about Zhou Heng's judgment.

Zhou Heng stepped on the tray under the wine tank and looked into the wine tank. The deceased raised his head and widened his eyes, with a ferocious expression on his face and his mouth opened. It was not corrupt or swollen into a giant view [1].

There is a depression in the temporal part of the left side of the head [2], which is in the shape of a long strip, extending into the hair.

"Catch the person out. What's wrong with the scene? Are there tableware or wooden sticks?"

Zhou Yian handed Zhou Heng a piece of paper, which was a painting. Although it was sloppy, it was very careful. What was in each position was explained in detail.

There was a stick on the ground inside the counter. The stick was placed obliquely with a blood-stained five-finger scratch on it.

There were eight plates on the table, two bowls, two wine cups and a wine pot. From the leftovers, there were chicken bones, fish bones and snail shells, and the shapes of various items were described.

It doesn't matter what else it is. I guess Zhou Yian has never seen this fish, so he drew the fish bones. Zhou Heng paused a little when he saw it, but he didn't expect that he could see this kind of yellow fish here.

"This is yellow croaker, with delicious meat and yellow Wulin, because it is rare and difficult to catch."

Liu Renli stretched his head and looked at the triangular fish bones, looking dazed.

"I have eaten this fish once in Jinan Prefecture. It is not produced in Qingping County. It is mostly found in the clear water of the stream."

Zhou Heng looked up at Zhou Yi'an. The picture mainly consisted of the first floor and was not depicted later. They had to ask when they went to the scene.

"What is the purpose behind the wine shop?"

“There is a small compartment behind, with a housekeeper and a warehouse in the backyard, and no kitchen stove and pot.”

Zhou Heng nodded, it seemed that Zhou Yian knew the reason for this question.

“Can you check it upstairs?”

"There is a residence upstairs, it's safe!"

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes, looked at the four people who were snatching the dead by the wine jar, and said:

"A stranger is doing business here, alone without a partner, very frugal, and the range of people he comes into contact with is much smaller. The restaurants he supplies will not be treated like this, and the neighbors will not attend a banquet alone. Such a table of banquets, and the yellow croaker that only exists in Jinan Prefecture were mostly brought by this visitor, and sent to a large restaurant in Qingping County for delivery."

Zhou Heng paused, looked around, stretched out a finger in the air for a while, and the people around him looked at Zhou Heng, then continued:

"The blacksmith has never heard of any abnormal movements, that is, the banquet and the murderer are all at night! After half of the meal, he hit Wei Jichen's temple with a wooden stick, knocked him out, and threw him into the wine tank. Wei Jichen woke up because of suffocation and grabbed the head of the tank, but he was still drowned!"

At this time, the body had been placed on the table, and wine continued to flow down the table. Zhou Heng walked straight over, looked at the wound on the deceased's temple, pressed it with a sweat towel, and pressed it. The bone frosting sound [3] was obvious, and there was a fracture depression of more than ten centimeters from the temple to the hairline.

Throwing down the sweat scarf, Zhou Heng looked at Liu Renli.

"Come from Jinan Prefecture to visit Wei Jichen, a person with a very close relationship with him, and came alone. When Sunset visited, he was very powerful and cautious. He was a man, and his height and weight were above Wei Jichen. It seemed that the identity of the murderer was mostly his close relative!"

These words shocked everyone. Just by looking at the dead, Liu Renli's mind was already a little frozen, and his subconscious told him that this was impossible.

"How could it be a close relative"

【1】Giant View: (bloated adaver/giant adaver), a corpse phenomenon.

After a person dies, due to the termination of the life process, the corrupt bacteria that parasitize in the human body during their life lose the control of the human immune system and grow and reproduce frantically.

These amazing amounts of spoiled bacteria can produce a large amount of dirty green spoiled gases that fill the human body.

The highly corrupt corpse formed the view of Giants. Because the soft tissues of the whole body are filled with corrupt gas, the face is swollen, the eyeballs are protruding, the lips become larger and turn outward, the tip of the tongue is protruding, the chest and abdomen are raised, the abdominal wall is tight and swelling, the limbs are thickened, the skin is dirty and green, the corrupt venous network is common, and the subcutaneous tissue and muscles are emphysema.

Some hands and feet may fall off in the shape of gloves and socks, and the entire body swells and expands into giants, making it difficult to identify their appearance during their lifetime. This phenomenon is called the view of corrupt giants.

[2] Temporal part: The temporal part is the soft tissue of the skull above the face, on the left and right sides of the head, specifically refers to the temple part commonly known in our daily life.
