Chapter 77: The Corpse of the Woman in Monk Clothes (Part 2)
The female corpse is not wearing a cassock, but wearing a common gray monk robe made of ordinary materials.
I don’t know how long the woman has been dead, but she sat cross-legged on the stone platform, as if she had merged with the stone platform.
Turning to the front of the body, Xu Zun saw that this was indeed a relatively young woman. She had long black hair, no hair tied up or any decorations.
The woman's eyes were closed, her hands were folded, and a string of rosary was hanging around her neck, maintaining a posture of chanting scriptures and meditating.
oh……
Xu Zun's heart trembled, and a cool air arose.
This posture seems ordinary, but as a corpse, it is too weird!
It is obvious that the deceased's death posture must have profound meaning.
Looking at the woman's face, although she was not very beautiful, she was still pretty. She only turned waxy due to frost, snow and ice.
Xu Zun also smelled the woman's body, as if it was a scent of sandalwood.
The woman is relatively thin and looks like she looks light and has little weight.
"This woman..." Zhao Yu bit his lips and thought, "If it weren't Miss Lu, don't be that Xiaofeng anymore, right?"
Lu Xiaofeng?
Xu Zun also had this idea and immediately asked Ju Ran: "Captain Ju God, did the Marquis say something when he saw the body just now? Does he know this girl?"
"Ah?" Ju Ran was stunned and stammered, "No? The Marquis just said that it was not a lady, and he didn't say anything else?"
"Is that true?" Zhao Yu asked, "What about the entourages of the Marquis' Mansion? They didn't recognize the identity of this girl?"
"Hey?" Ju Ran was confused, "What do you mean by you? It is the first time we have arrived at the crime scene today. No one said that we have ever mentioned recognizing the deceased?"
oh?
That's not Lu Xiaofeng!
Yes, Xu Zun then remembered that the maids said that Lu Xiaofeng was two years younger than Lu Mingyue, so she was only fourteen years old at most.
But the girl in front of her has obvious adult characteristics, and she should be between 18 and 20 years old.
"Captain Ju Shen," Xu Zun approached and observed carefully. He found that there were no scars on the woman's neck, so he asked Ju Ran, "Can you see the cause of death?"
"I can't see it," Ju Ran replied, "but based on the environmental factors and corpse representation here, she has been dead for at least ten days!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Has it been so long?"
"It's cold," Ju Ran said, "The body has obvious signs of dehydration, and it may take more than ten days, and it will take longer."
"Just looking at the appearance, there seems to be no frostbite," Xu Zun speculated, "that is, it is not frozen to death..."
When speculating, Xu Zun couldn't help but reach out to untie the monk's robe and take a look inside.
"Hey?" Ju Ran stopped him as if scared, "Sir, wait!"
Xu Zun stopped, looking puzzled.
"Sir, um..." Ju Ran quickly explained, "The coroner in the yamen will arrive soon. They are more professional, so let them deal with it!
"It may be your first time to come to Shangyuan City," he whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "This Huguo Temple is a bit weird. To prevent adults from getting involved in any bad things, don't do it yourself!"
"oh……"
Xu Zun wanted to argue with him a few words, but found that Ju Ran had cold sweats soaked on her forehead, and her eyes and expression were very unnatural.
Could it be... what does this Ju Ran know?
Or, he has any secrets?
"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zun took out a pair of rough gloves from his sleeve and put them on his hands and said, "If I wear this thing, I won't touch the body directly!"
This pair of gloves was brought by Xu Zun from Xinye County. It is made of waterproof thick cloth. It was used by coroners to post autopsy.
As he said that, Xu Zun reached out to the corpse again.
"Sir, wait a moment!" Ju Ran stopped excitedly again, "This woman died in the temple wearing a monk's robe. I'm afraid that sir is in danger!"
Um?
The more Ju Ran blocked him, the more suspicious Xu Zun became.
"Damn," Xu Zun suddenly pointed to the distance and screamed strangely, "Is there a ghost!"
"What?"
As soon as Ju Ran turned his head, Xu Zun immediately reached out and grabbed the monk's robe of the female corpse.
Swish...
Ju Ran realized that she was deceived and flew out of the sword's scabbard and blocked Xu Zun's arm.
Xu Zun bounced off the scabbard with a palm and poked out his other hand, but was blocked by Ju Ran again with the scabbard.
"Sir, sir!" Ju Ran shouted, "I really can't touch it! Listen to me!"
"I am a stern person. Can't I even get a corpse?" Xu Zun became angry, opened the scabbard again, and stretched towards the corpse again.
Ju Ran waved his sword sheath again to stop him, and the two of them actually started fighting!
At the same time, the constables outside heard the abnormal movement and immediately rushed into the scene, showing their swords.
"Grandma, a bear!"
Zhao Yu didn't expect that the two of them would fight as soon as they said they could, and hurriedly brought their swords to help.
"Sir, listen to me..."
Ju Ran was very anxious and his subordinates were getting faster and faster. As the headmaster of Shangyuan City, his kung fu was naturally not weak, so he forced Xu Zun out in the blink of an eye.
However, he ignored the tacit understanding of the pair Xu Zun and Zhao Yu. When he turned around and was about to face Zhao Yu's attack, he found that Zhao Yu had already lifted the monk's robe of the female corpse!
It turned out that Xu Zun was deliberately forced away by him.
"ah!!?"
After lifting the monk's robe, Zhao Yu was stunned.
"this……"
Ju Ran hurried over and saw the situation on the female corpse. She immediately felt her knees weak and she leaned on the ground with one leg on her.
Xu Zun followed closely behind. When he arrived at the front, he suddenly saw a long and eye-catching knife in the abdomen of the female corpse!
However, the knife edge has been sewn with needle and thread!!!
After seeing this scene, the constables who entered the scene all put down their swords, and a strange look of relief appeared on their faces.
"Bold!" Xu Zun shouted at Ju Ran, "You know the cause of the death of this female corpse but don't tell it truthfully, and you have to obstruct it. What's your intention??"
"Sir, I..." Ju Ran knelt in front of Xu Zun and defended, "I...I don't know the cause of her death! We were all at the scene with the Marquis, and no one had opened the monk's robe..."
"You still dare to argue!" Xu Zun was furious, "If you don't know, why do you try to stop it? I see, you not only know the cause of the death of the female corpse, but also know the whole story.
"I'm so bold and reckless that I dare to attack me, trying to attack me!
"Ju Ran, do you know that you are committing the following crimes? Can I do it now?"
"Sir, sir..." Ju Ran said in horror, "This... this is not what I mean, sir!"
"What!?"
Xu Zun's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that he would encounter such an incomprehensible thing again when he arrived in Shangyuan City.
If Ju Ran acted instructedly, it means that there is someone else who wanted to stop him?
"Ju Ran," Xu Zun shouted, "I will give you another chance to make it clear. If you can't make it clear, then I will put you in jail now!
"Don't think that if you have a backstage, I can't do anything to you. I will tell the Marquis about this, just say that you obstructed me from investigating the Miss's Miss's disappearance case. Do you see if the Marquis will let you go?"
"Sir, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood!" Ju Ran bowed and said, "The case of this female corpse has nothing to do with Miss Marquis, but...but..."
"But what?" Xu Zun shouted, "Speak quickly!"
"The female corpse of a monk's robe..." Ju Ran said quietly, "It's not the first time in Shangyuan City..."
