Chapter 153 Eight Treasures Makeup 07
Zhao Yue was frightened and then took a step back. He saw clearly that a blood bird was dead. Zhao Yue couldn't help but curse, "Who did this? What a courage! Do you know how precious my blood bird is!"
He was wrong and saw that Huo Weilou was suppressing his anger, and then he pulled up the corner of his lips, "If the Marquis laughed, it must be the servants in the garden who joked with Xiao Qu'er. Marquis, please-"
The attendant shook his hands and wanted to take away the corpse of the bird, but Huo Weilou did not move. "It seems that such a hand on a bird is not just a joke."
Bo Ruoyou had already stepped forward, and she didn't avoid looking at the zombie, and soon she sank her eyes, "The blood on the zombie has splashes, and it should have been nailed to death by someone, and—"
The nail pointed to her side, which was quite sharp. She took out a handkerchief and pinched the nail tip, and lifted it up. This time, the nail head was exposed. The moment she saw the nail head, she looked even more serious.
She looked at Huo Weilou, who seemed to recognize this object, and her eyes turned cold and steep.
Zhao Yue looked confused, and Bo Ruoyou said, "The nail is more than two inches long, with a sharp tip on the bottom and a thick top, with four edges of the blessing and longevity pattern. This is a very common coffin nail."
Zhao Yue suddenly widened his eyes, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet, "Coffin...Coffin nails?"
It was already chilling to kill the live bird with such cruel methods. Zhao Yue even unexpectedly did not expect that the nail that killed the live bird was actually a coffin nail. What purpose was this person pursuing the kill bird with such a funeral and unlucky object?
Bo Ruoyouzai looked at the nail carefully, then raised his eyes and swept the flower garden, "The nails are new. This person knew that the prince loved these birds. It was not counted if he killed the birds, but he threw the corpse here, which shows that he was not afraid of the prince discovering it, and even..."
She looked at the sharp nails with blood and said, "I even want to use this method to intimidate the prince."
Zhao Yue had a cold sweat on his forehead, "What a boldness! Check it out, I'm going to make a strict investigation, let's see who is so bold!"
Bo Ruoyou put Que'er's body back into the handmaid's hand and reminded him seriously: "A man has just died in the garden, and there are still people who are slaughtering blood birds like this. The prince must be careful." After a slight pause, she said again: "There are many murderers who have been venting their anger from the puppy and kitten. People with such tendencies should be extra vigilant. At present, I don't know if the person who killed Que is related to the case. But there is a hidden murderer in the garden. In the past few days, whether it is the prince or others, you must be more alert."
Zhao Yue's heart was thumping when he said this. He quickly responded. Bo Ruoyou was worried and said, "Tell the captain about this matter and see if he could find clues related to killing birds when searching the garden."
Zhao Yue responded again, and Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou left the Hundred Birds Garden.
After getting on the carriage and heading to the chariot, Bo Ruoyou frowned, "Ordinary people like to have fun with birds, but they just use knives and arrows, but this person used coffin nails, which was too terrifying."
Huo Weilou half-held her, "But I think this person is related to the murder?"
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "I don't know if Captain Wu can find out what."
The carriage headed to the chariot, and Yu Xun's body had been sent to the chariot. Because he died last night, there were very few corpses. Bo Ruoyou was anxious to come to the chariot, and wanted to take the autopsy earlier so that many clues would be covered up as the corpse decayed.
The carriage stopped in front of the Yizhuang gate, and the two entered the door one by one. Uncle Kun and Yachae, who were guarding the Yizhuang gate, were both quite nervous when they saw Huo Weilou coming together. Bo Ruoyou took the box and entered the back hall.
After a little preparation, Bo Ruoyou started to take a corpse. Yu Xun had no extra injuries. Because he came out of the pleasure boat, he paid great attention to maintenance on weekdays. He looked slender and flexible, like a woman, but he was tougher than a woman's skeleton. Bo Ruoyou took white vinegar and applied it to the corpse. After waiting for a while, more bruises appeared from under the corpse surface.
The bruises are mostly on the abdomen, and they are left when the murderer moves them. They either hold the person on their shoulders or hold their arms across their waists. There is also a stagnation on the back of the deceased's shoulder, which looks like they are pushed out by their arms. Bo Ruoyou thought about it and felt that he was left when he was strangled.
There was no trace on the surface of the body. Bo Ruoyou began to examine it. The spine on the neck only hurt the meridians as she expected. She examined it all the way down and directly cut open the stomach of the deceased. What surprised her was that the deceased's stomach was empty and when he checked the five internal organs down, he also felt strange. Even though Yu Xun had not eaten half a day yesterday, he drank tea at night, even though he had been to the clean room during the period, there was at least a small amount of tea left in the five internal organs.
Seeing her face showing doubts, Huo Weilou asked, "What?"
Bo Ruoyou said the suspicious point, and Huo Weilou also felt strange, "If I had never drunk tea, would it be that two tea cups in the house have entered the house? Both tea cups are used by visitors?"
Bo Ruoyou couldn't figure it out for a moment, "If it were two people, it would be better to ensure that the crime would succeed. Just one more person knows the truth, it would be a little more risky. How could Yu Xun make a mortal enemy with the two?"
She shook her head and didn't understand it for a while. She felt that she had gained too little, so she began to sew the body.
Huo Weilou comforted him: "If there are two murderers, the chances of revealing flaws will be greater. There are many people in the garden. Moreover, he has been in the garden for three years and always has a lot of hatred. Wu Xiang can always find some clues when he carefully investigates it."
Bo Ruoyou nodded and responded. It took her half an hour before and she turned around and looked out the window. She saw that the sun had already set in the west. After the body of the deceased was sorted out and the corpse was cleaned, Bo Ruoyou ordered the yamen to find paper and pen, and recorded the gains carefully on the case, and then sent them to the yamen.
Wu Xiang investigated in the Hundred Bird Garden, and indeed, there were many people who had a marriage with Yu Xun. Bo Ruoyou waited in the yamen for a while and saw Wu Xiang bringing five people back to ask questions. When he gave him the inspection paper, Wu Xiang was also a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he said, "There are many people who have had a dispute with him, and there are many people who have been sad about him. This time I took five people back and asked one by one later to see if I could ask. If two people commit crimes, there is no need to stick to the murderer as a tall and strong person."
Bo Ruoyou expected that, and Wu Xiang did not delay much and brought a few yamen to the cell.
Sun Zhao knew that the case in Hundred Birds Garden was related to the Prince of Nan'an, and had already told Wu Xiang to investigate it well, but he did not expect Huo Weilou to come to the yamen. He thought that the case involved the royal family prince, and Huo Weilou was here to supervise the case, but Huo Weilou had no intention, which made him relieved and he saw that Huo Weilou was indeed tight to Bo Ruoyou.
After the trip to Huo Weilou to the southwest, there was a lot of turmoil in the court. Sun Zhao was an official in Beijing for many years. He knew that Huo Weilou now did not care about the court but retreated as an advance. He respected him more and more. He stayed with him for half a day. At dusk, Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou left the yamen.
It was getting late, and Huo Weilou intended to send her home. Along the way, Bo Ruoyou was still thinking about the scene of the red feathered body hanging on the osmanthus tree. She had never seen hanging, but she also knew how hanging was executed. If the murderer intended to punish Yu Xun with the criminal law, then Yu Xun would have committed any sin. This would be as simple as celebrating a feud with the people.
She only hoped that Wu Xiang could ask some clues. When she arrived at the door of her house, it was already night. The carriage stopped. Bo Ruoyou wanted to get up and lift the curtain, but Huo Weilou grabbed her wrist and kept her lips raised, "What are the marquis going to do?"
Huo Weilou leaned over and took her into his arms, "Now there is a case, you are going to run around and be busy. I will keep the two of you by your side so that I won't feel at ease."
Bo Ruoyou wanted to refuse, but thought for a while and responded: "Then come back in the day to avoid them from working hard."
Huo Weilou was satisfied, but he refused to leave her. The hand that landed on her waist was a little moved. Bo Ruoyou grabbed him and leaned over to kiss the corner of his lips, "I will visit the marquis when I return home tomorrow."
Before Huo Weilou could react, Bo Ruoyou slipped out like a cat. His knuckles moved and he couldn't help but stroke the corners of his lips. He felt uneasy. He heard the door outside opening and closing, and the footsteps gradually disappeared. He sighed and ordered the carriage to return to the mansion. Changshoufang went to Lanzhengfang. He walked almost for only two incense sticks. When the carriage stopped at the door of the Marquis' Mansion, Huo Weilou saw that there was another carriage parked in front of the door.
He knew at a glance that Huo Qinghong was coming. When Xu Bu entered the door, not long after, he saw Huo Qinghong wielding a short sword in the atrium. He had not suffered since he was a child and invited an excellent fist and kick master to come, but he was also angry with him for three days and two days of drying the net. Later, he didn't practice these things again, but he didn't expect to take the initiative to lift the sword today.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Weilou walked in. Huo Qinghong shook his body and almost stood firm. He turned around and turned to the back and asked Huo Weilou, "Where has the eldest brother been there? Haven't you been closed to thank the guests these days?"
"A case occurred in the garden of Prince Nan'an. Youyou was going to go for an autopsy, so I went with you." After he said that, he thought of Zhao Yue's words and asked him: "Have you been to his Hundred Birds Garden a few days ago?"
When Huo Qinghong heard this, he felt enlightened, "Yes, what happened in his garden?"
He stopped practicing swords, and followed Huo Weilou to the main courtyard with a short sword. Huo Weilou said as he walked: "A opera singer who was raised in a garden is dead, and he is named Hejun. Do you know him?"
Huo Qinghong used to be a scattered among these playboys. He asked, and Huo Qinghong really began to think about it. However, after thinking for a while, he didn't think of this person. Instead, he sighed: "I knew that his garden was very unlucky."
Huo Weilou looked at him in confusion, and Huo Qinghong said, "When I went there that day, I actually encountered someone killing birds in the garden, but they were not hunting birds--"
A strange thing slipped through Huo Weilou's heart, "But use nails?"
Huo Qinghong shook his head and said with some lingering fear: "No, I'm strangling the bird with a rope. If I just strangled it, it's still hanging on the tree. The bright red birds are staggering there, which is a bit strange and terrifying."
