Chapter 62 Four and incense 02(1/2)

Yizhuang is located in a remote place in the south pole of the capital. When Bo Ruoyou got off the carriage, he only saw a very old-looking house standing in a yin atmosphere under the afterglow of the sunset.

Hearing the movement outside, an old man with gray hair walked out from inside. He was not surprised to see Wu Xiang, but he didn't expect that there were two strangers coming today, and one of them was a beautiful little girl.

"Xiao Wu, this is-"

"Uncle Kun, we're here to take the autopsy." Wu Xiang said and pointed at Bo Ruoyou, "This girl said she was going to come to the yamen to be a coroner."

The old man named Uncle Kun was dressed in plain clothes and covered with wrinkles on his face. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows, "She is a coroner? Where is Xiao Hu?"

Wu Xiang waved his hand, "Changqing is sick today and is at home in the future yamen." He said that, and turned to look at Bo Ruoyou, "Do you really dare to take a mortal? We have arrived outside the Yizhuang Village now. If we want to regret it, we have to regret it before entering the Yizhuang Village Village Village."

Bo Ruoyou laughed, "Be really brave, please lead the way."

Wu Xiang was slightly surprised for a moment, and then walked into the charity village. The janitor of the charity village called Uncle Kun looked up and down for a moment, and there was also a look of surprise and doubt in his eyes. Bo Ruoyou nodded to him and followed Wu Xiang.

Yizhuang is an extremely old house. After entering the door, the screen walls and flower walls were all demolished, leaving only a small atrium, with bluestone slabs paved with cracks, and there were weeds growing under the corner of the wall in the distance. The front of the main hall is the main hall. The front columns of the main hall are mottled. Before you get close, you can smell a faint smell of incense and candles.

When I entered the hall, I saw an old set of tables and chairs in front of the hall, and a small statue of a god or Buddha on the altar near the wall. There was a tiny candle in the copper furnace in front of the statue, and next to it was the handle of the remaining incense candle burned.

Although the utensils were all old, they were still quite neat. Wu Xiang kept walking straight to the back hall, entered through the corner door, passed through a dim corridor, and arrived at the back hall where the corpse was parked. As soon as he walked to the door, the faint smell of rotten smell made Bo Ruoyou look excited.

Wu Xiang stepped into the back hall, then stood still, looking at Bo Ruoyou leisurely.

Bo Ruoyou followed in from behind and saw three corpses parked in the hall at a glance, one male corpse was placed in the coffin, and the other two were female corpses. The three corpses were covered with felt blankets, with only hands, feet and half of their heads and faces exposed. Judging from the appearance of the corpse, it seemed that they had been dead for a few days.

Bo Ruoyou looked over with a normal expression, but when he looked back, he saw Wu Xiang staring at her calmly. She couldn't help but ask, "Which corpse is tested?"

Wu Xiang's eyebrows raised again.

Ordinary people are afraid of seeing a dead person, not to mention seeing three corpses placed here at once. Either they are trapped for accidental death or died due to a murder. Not only may the death be horrible, but they all died for many days are really not good-looking. I thought Bo Ruoyou would be a little bit distorted, but she actually looked like she was used to being a normal person.

Wu Xiang couldn't help looking at Bo Ruoyou, "You really know how to perform a corpse? You are just a little girl, why did you do such a business?"

Wu Xiang had already confronted his doubts, but became a little curious. Bo Ruoyou smiled and said, "Although the coroner's journey is harder, it is not inferior to other industries. I can do it, so I can do it."

A little reward flashed in Wu Xiang's eyes, but he didn't say much. He only pointed to the female corpse on the left side of the hall, "What you test is this corpse, and it is also the case that the yamen is investigating recently."

Bo Ruoyou moved his heart and walked to the edge of the coffin bed. It was already early February. Although the weather was still a little cold, it was much warmer than the first month. The corpse was very rotten after only three or five days. The female corpse in front of him had been dead for at least six or seven days. Bo Ruoyou rolled up her sleeves and asked Uncle Liang to open the bag.

She took out a silk palette to cover her mouth and nose, took another Suhexiang pill, and then took out Huo Weilou and put it on her handguard. She looked focused and calm, and she felt that she was very good at this.

Wu Xiang was placing his arms around him, looking at him, Uncle Kun walked up from behind, approached him and said in a split second: "Where did this little girl come from?"

Wu Xiang raised his hand and took out his ears, "I didn't know, I said there was any recommendation document for Lord Sun. Today, Lord Sun was not in the government office. I just came back from outside and saw her. A little girl came to do coroner. Are you weird or not..."

As he said that, Wu Xiang frowned, feeling that Sun Zhao seemed to have asked about the visitor of the yamen the day before yesterday, but he ran outside all day for the past few days. Even if he had heard of it, he would never take these trivial matters to heart. This thought flashed away. Wu Xiang did not think deeply, but continued to look at Bo Ruoyou. She had already walked to the bed of the coffin and lifted the felt blanket covering the female corpse.

The female corpse was wearing a neat dress, but it was a bright red dress. The deceased had a purple and moldy face. The red dress was quite terrifying, which made Bo Ruoyou's eyes tremble slightly.

However, her terrifying feeling flashed away. She quickly calmed down and looked at the body. Bo Ruoyou checked the deceased's head and face and exposed neck and hands first, and then went to take off the deceased's clothes. Wu Xiang stood still and followed him, and the two yamen guarding the door went to the front hall with some taboo.

The clothes were untied, and the dead's heart was even more powerful. A dark corpse green accompanied by a branch-like blood vessel extending to the chest of the corpse, down to the inner thigh of the deceased. At a glance, tiny maggots and flies could be seen lingering at the root of the deceased's legs.

Although Zheng Liangfei's coroner followed Cheng Yunzhi and Bo Ruoyouchang to enter and exit the Yizhuang village, his endurance was no better than that of them. Seeing this scene at a glance, he felt that his eyes were blind and hurriedly took a few steps to the door.

Bo Ruoyou didn't realize that there was him, and he only had a calm and focused look on the autopsy. Seeing her like this, Wu Xiang's contempt had dissipated five points earlier, and his expression became solemn.

Bo Ruoyou bent down and looked at the front of the corpse first. There were not many blood traumas on the body, but there were many scratches, especially on the wrists, shoulders, and left hips. Although the corpse began to rot, the corpse smell was even more serious than she imagined. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help but feel a little confused...

At this time, she struggled to turn over the body, and as she frowned, she suddenly frowned.

The body was not without bloody trauma, but the bloody trauma was on the back. She hadn't seen it earlier. The wounded place was not just one or two scars, but a piece of wounded area. The corpse green covered the entire back of the corpse, and the position in the vest of the corpse was even worse. At this moment, the maggots were densely attached to the injured place. As Bo Ruoyou moved, the maggots even fell on the coffin bed.

She couldn't help frowning, "I'm sorry to send some water to Captain Wu."

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had even instructed him. However, looking at Bo Ruoyou staring at the rotten land of the corpse, although he could not see his entire face, the cold eyes exposed on the silk scutellar made her feel more serious.

Wu Xiang frowned and shouted out, "Monkey, come and get some water—"

A yamen outside responded and soon entered the door with a basin of water. Seeing Bo Ruoyou lying next to the rotten corpse, he felt that the scene was novel and strange. He held the water next to the coffin bed. When he put the water up, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the corpse.

"vomit--"

The monkey covered his mouth and rolled out and ran out. Seeing this, Wu Xiang wanted to give him a kick. He glanced at Bo Ruoyou and cursed secretly: "It's embarrassing!"

Bo Ruoyou had no time to care what he said. When he saw that the water was sent, he used water to wash away all the maggots on the corpse. The clear water also washed away the rotten corpse water filth. At this moment, the corpse with a large wound surface was revealed.

Bo Ruoyou's eyebrows tightened, and then looked up and down along his back before straightening up and down.

Wu Xiang was not in a hurry to ask, nor did he explain the situation of the deceased, and waited for Bo Ruoyou to speak.

Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment: "The deceased is about seventeen years old, and the death should be on the second day of the second month, that is, before seven days. The death was strangled and the injury was on the neck. The most obvious one was these two strangles that were connected to each other. The strangles were semicircular and distributed on both sides of the throat. There were four obvious marks on the left side, three on the right side, and two heavy marks on the throat. They should be pressed out by the thumb. In addition, there were also pinch marks left by nails at the end of the finger mark."

"In addition to the strangulation, the deceased's clavicle and shoulder blades also had subcutaneous bleeding in the area where the deceased's collarbone and shoulder blade were connected. The deceased's face was slightly swollen and purple and cyanotic. In addition to the long-term death, the deceased's face also struggled violently when he died, resulting in congestion on his face. Not only that, the deceased's eye mask and mouth were all covered with small bleeding spots, and the tip of the tongue was exposed. There were two bites on it, and there were also blood clots in the throat of the deceased. It should be caused by the murderer strangling the deceased's neck and causing bleeding in the throat."

"In addition, the deceased had many abrasions on his hands and feet, mostly caused by struggle, and there was also a bruise on the inner side of his thigh, which was mostly left by the murderer strangling him to death and suppressing him. In addition, there was a bruise on the back of the head of the deceased, and the left side was pushed to the outside, hips, and buttocks. In addition, the deceased had been beaten and dragged before his death."

"The serious injury at the back of the head is enough to make the deceased dizzy, and it may be the first blow to the murderer. However... the abrasions and bruises look like the injury before death, but it may also be that the person strangled the dead before he started to drag it down. When the person died, the blood was still flowing, and the scars left at this time were almost the same as those before he died. In addition, the corpse's eyes are not obvious now."

Speaking of this, Bo Ruoyou said again: "The deceased is young and the description is not bad. However, except for the scars mentioned just now, there are no other traces on the deceased, nor are there any signs of being violated, but-"

Bo Ruoyou's words were cut off and pointed at the back of the deceased, "But the injury here is really strange."

At this time, Wu Xiang had no doubt about Bo Ruoyou at all. He stepped forward, "It's really strange. When he found her, she was seriously injured on her back, and I don't know what she was scratched."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "It's not shaved."

Wu Xiang frowned and Bo Ruoyou said, "There are at most some shallow bruises on the other part of the deceased's back, but only here is the whole piece of skin removed. Now the wound is rotten and there is no way to see what the wound is on the wound. It is impossible to tell which weapon is used for a while. However, the boundary of this wound is obvious. If it is done unintentionally, it is impossible."

The palm-sized wound was gone. If it were said that it was injured by some sharp weapon, it would not be so clear that the boundaries were so clear. Bo Ruoyou said confidently: "This is the murderer who strangled the dead and did it on purpose."

"I deliberately peeled off a piece of human skin?" Wu Xiang couldn't help but speak.

Bo Ruoyou frowned and looked at him, "Didn't you find the wounds very neat when you found the body?"

Wu Xiang shook his head, "The body was discovered three days ago. It was already a little bad at that time. The wound on his back was bleeding and rotten. In addition, it was not a place that caused death, so it has not been carefully examined."

Bo Ruoyou raised his eyebrows, indeed, was not a death-related injury, but such a strange place should not be ignored by any coroner. "This place is very strange. If you haven't recorded it before, Captain Hu would have added another note to the test."

Wu Xiangyang raised his eyebrows, "Where did you do coroner before?"

After hearing what Bo Ruoyou said, Wu Xiang felt that she was very familiar with how coroners did things in the government, and even knew that she wanted to write a test certificate.

Bo Ruoyou said, "I did work as a coroner in another yamen before, but I was just helping."

Seeing that she didn't say it in detail, Wu Xiang became curious again. It was the first time that a woman in the world had met a coroner. She said she had a recommendation document, so who was the one who recommended her?

Wu Xiang only felt that Bo Ruoyou had many suspicions, but she was a girl's house and was not familiar with her now, so he really couldn't ask in detail.

Seeing him silent, Bo Ruoyou said, "Captain Wu also saw me having an autopsy. He should believe that I am really a coroner. When I see Lord Sun, I think I don't have to test myself again, right?"

When Wu Xiang heard this, he couldn't help but rub his hands with a smile, "This... I blame my slutty eyes. This is the first time I have seen a woman committing a coroner. I really didn't believe you earlier, but I believed this time. When I see the adults, I will report it truthfully."

Bo Ruoyou held his lips and looked at the corpse again, his smile faded, "Captain Wu may tell me about the identity of the deceased? How did this case happen? I saw that the deceased's dress was a little muddy, and there were some mud stains on the body. I guess it was discovered outside?"

Wu Xiangben felt a little embarrassed to look down on Bo Ruoyou earlier. When he heard her ask, he said without reservation: "This girl's name is Feng Wodan. She is indeed seventeen years old this year. She lives in Yongkangfang, west of the city. On February 2, there was a dragon prayer meeting to releasing animals by Weiyang Lake in the west of the city. She went there, but halfway through, she and her maid separated from her maid. The maid looked for her at the party for half a day. At dusk, she returned to the city to report to her parents that her parents were merchants. She sent a few entourages to search for them along the way to Weiyang Lake. She had not found them the next morning, so she came to report to the official."

"After the government heard about it, I went to Weiyang Lake to look for it. The scenery around Weiyang Lake is beautiful, but it is completely visible. There are also houses and all are private houses. I visited the surrounding area for a long time that day, but I still didn't get any news. After three days, someone reported the case and found her in the alley behind the Chenghuang Temple in the southeast of the city."

Wu Xiang sighed, "The alley is very remote and no one passes by on weekdays. At that time, the person had been dead for a long time, so he naturally could not be rescued. So he used this case as a murder case and entered the government office. He has been investigating this case these days."

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved, "So Captain Hu said he wanted me to return home earlier because a woman was attacked?"

Wu Xiang nodded, "That's true. When we brought her here earlier, we had already seen our original coroner test. We were strangled to death, not sexual intercourse, but we could see the injuries on our backs, but it has not been doubtful. When we found her, we had all the hairpins, rings and bracelets on her body were there, not money robbery. At present, we only identified this case as a revenge, or accidentally caught a villain. As for the inside story, we are still asking-"

Bo Ruoyou nodded slightly. What Wu Xiang said was no greater difference from what she thought. However, it was strange that her back was injured regularly. "She was injured on her back, but her dress was not damaged, especially the wound was a piece of flesh, which was really strange."

Wu Xiang's eyes also darkened, "If you don't say that I haven't thought so deep, but... what's the use of a woman's flesh?"

Even though Wu Xiang was knowledgeable, he felt a little cold in his heart at this time, "Old Wu, I have seen many cases. People seeking revenge and those who are for money and sex are not scary, and they have traces to follow. The most terrifying thing is that I don't know why the murderer killed people. In this case, the murderer wouldn't have killed people for the flesh and blood on her body, right?"

Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, "It may not be necessary."

Wu Xiang felt his scalp numb, and Bo Ruoyou said, "I can't figure it out, but it's just that I'm preconceived."

Wu Xiang nodded after hearing this, "What you said makes sense, but you don't have to think too much. The yamen have visited and investigated everywhere these days, and sooner or later they will find the murderer. You don't have to worry about these things. Your autopsy is over. I will tell Lord Sun that it's too late at this moment, so you should go back earlier. Tomorrow, Lord Sun is probably in the yamen, so you can come to meet earlier."

The sun had already set in the sky, and the last ray of rays of rays were about to dissipate, and it was about to get dark.

Bo Ruoyou collected the body, washed his hands, and then prepared to leave, but when she walked out, she looked at the other two bodies, "Why did they die--"

The body was covered with felt blankets. Although the man and woman could be identified clearly, there was no more traces. Wu Xiang pointed to the man's corpse, "This is a businessman who came from other places to do business. He died of illness. His friends who were traveling with him bought a coffin for him. In a few days, he would follow the boat south to send it back to his hometown and temporarily place it here."

After saying that, he looked at another female corpse, "This is a fished out in the river. The coroner has been tested and drowned. No one has come to report the case or claim it, so he has placed it here for the time being."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, why is there another female corpse?

Seeing her look suspicious, Wu Xiang said, "This person probably fell into the water and died, not murdered." Wu Xiang laughed, "You really look like a two-part coroner. You always want to know why others died."

Wu Xiang said this, but she didn't think much about it. At this time, Wu Xiang looked at her leisurely and asked quite gently, "What are you talking about?"

Bo Ruoyou was amused and crying, "My surname is Bo and my name is Ruoyou."

"Oh, Ruoyou, a good name..." Wu Xiang praised perfunctorily and asked, "You said you have a recommendation document, but I don't know who recommended you to you? I don't think you are like an ordinary girl. Your parents are officials? How can they bear to let you do coroner?"

Wu Xiang changed his fierce appearance in the afternoon. Because he was much older than her, he asked a few questions in an elder tone. Bo Ruoyou was a little funny and said, "My parents are not an official, the person who recommended me... is Wu Zhaohou."

If you want to have a autopsy in the yamen, you must meet Wu Xiang more often. Look at him, although he is a bit reckless, he is a heroic person. Therefore, since you ask about it, you don’t have to hide it all the time.

However, when she finished speaking, Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows high, "Who are you talking about? Wu Zhaohou?"

Bo Ruoyou nodded and walked out while greeting Uncle Liang. Wu Xiang followed her, still looking disbelief. Seeing that Bo Ruoyou was about to walk to the atrium, he simply raised his hand and stopped her.

Bo Ruoyou stopped, "What's wrong?"
