In the house, there were four wooden tables, one on the left and one on the left. Two female corpses were disembowelled and their internal organs were arranged in an orderly manner.

There is a small square stool between the wooden platforms, and on it are seven strange-shaped knives, straight, curved, hooked, and toothed, dripping with blood.

The small copper stove in the corner on the right has three pillars of incense, filling it with smoke.

There were two red candles lit on the coffee table in front of me, and the room was filled with red clouds. Occasionally, the breeze blew by, and the glow flickered on and off, contrasting with the smoke, making it look particularly strange.

Just when Mr. Jiang finally suppressed the urge to vomit, a government servant ran over with two porcelain bowls in his arms, stood in front of Shen Xiaojia, breathlessly handed the two porcelain bowls to Shen Xiaojia, and then immediately ran away.

leave.

Shen Xiaojia looked at the two porcelain bowls stacked together in his hands, and then at Jiang Captou who was calm and composed. Then he put one of the porcelain bowls into Jiang Captou's hand and said with a smile, "Sir, you

Anyway, I have nothing to do, so help me get it..."

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort..." Jiang Captou was just halfway through his words when he saw Shen Xiaojia opening a small opening on the bloody thing in his hand, and then a yellow paste liquid flowed out and slowly flowed in.

The bowl in his hand contained a wide variety of things. He even saw half a piece of sweet potato in the pool of liquid, and wondered, "What is this?"

Shen Xiaojia put the blood-red object into his porcelain bowl and said calmly, "This... the stomach pouch," pointing to a certain location on Jiang Datou's abdomen, "It's probably right here..."

Jiang Baotou immediately couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately pushed the bowl in his hand back to Shen Xiaojia, ran to the side, leaned against the wall, bent down, and vomited out all the undigested mutton noodles in his stomach.

"You're not that good either..." Shen Xiaojia walked back to the widow's room carrying two porcelain bowls, and said with a frown, "It seems that there are only two people in the world who are as strong as me!"

Shi Yan, who had just stopped vomiting, got up from the ground, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, exhaled a long sour breath, and was about to walk to the widow's room, but Shen Xiaojia picked up the blood-red object on another wooden table and walked out, his expression paled.

Shi became arrogant again, and quickly turned around and fled out of the government office in a hurry, "Brother Jiang, I just remembered that there are still important things to do, so I'll take my leave first and make an appointment another day!"

Jiang Captou struggled to stop vomiting, took a deep breath, straightened up, turned around and was about to say a few polite words to Shi Yan, but found that Shi Yan had already disappeared from the government office, spat lightly, and walked up to Shen Xiaojia.

Deliberately keeping a far enough distance, he said with an ashen face, "An autopsy is just an autopsy, why do you dig out other people's internal organs?"

"Without an autopsy, how can we find out the cause of death? People can lie, but corpses are honest. For example, the stomach pouch just now tells us directly and clearly what the deceased did and what he ate that day... Also, what exactly did the deceased do?

Who is he?"

"You made the body like this, how can I explain it to the relatives of the deceased in the future?"

"No need to explain," Shen Xiaojia said calmly, "According to Daqing law, if someone is killed by others, or the cause of death is unknown, the government has the right to inspect and dispose of the body at will, without the consent of relatives. Moreover, I will restore everything after the inspection.

The original position is guaranteed to be almost the same as before, and most people can't see it."

Jiang Captou stared at another blood-red object in Shen Xiaojia's hand, swallowed, grinned and said, "What is this?"

"Lungs are the foundation of Qi." Shen Xiaojia pointed at a part of the lungs of the deceased in his hand and said excitedly, "Sir, the reason why I took it out is to let you take a look at this place..."

"Is there anything special about it?"

"The organs are stagnant with blood, the congested part is dark red, the aerated part is white, serosal and submucosal bleeding... Sir, this is the cause of death you want."

"In human terms...what was the cause of death?"

"Death by suffocation."

Captain Jiang frowned, touched his chin and said, "You mean the Moon Girl at the festival was strangled or strangled to death? But there are no marks on her neck?"

"It's not just Yue Nu," Shen Xiaojia said with half-squinted eyes, "Since the female corpse found in the ruined temple this morning died in the same way as Yue Nu, the cause of death was naturally the same. Death by suffocation does not necessarily mean being strangled or strangled.

, and there are many more hands-free methods.”

"Who is the murderer?"

"Sir, you have to eat one meal at a time and investigate the case step by step. You can't omit all the intermediate steps and go straight to the yellow dragon as soon as you get started. At least you have to understand the depth of the water here first, otherwise you will easily get into trouble."

"Brother Xiao Jia really has his own tricks, but I still have to remind you that you only have three days, so you can't use them all to slowly explore the doorways and test the depth. If the case is not solved by then, the big knife in my hand will be useless.

You have to be considerate."

"Sir, please be at ease. I have my own rhythm, and I will never make fun of my own life... It's just that I do have a lot of things going on here, and I still need your help!"

Jiang Captou glanced at the four blood-red wooden tables in the workshop, and said with an embarrassed expression, "I can't do those things. I'm not professional. I'm afraid it will only be a disservice to you."

"Hey! How can I bother you to do this kind of rough work?" Shen Xiaojia waved his hand and said with a smile, "What I want to ask you to do is a delicate matter. Other people in the yamen may not be able to do it like you, so I have to ask you to do it yourself.

Take action..."

"What's up?"

"Help me explore the door."

"Which door?"

"Of course it is the home of the two deceased people."

"I'm only one person, so I can't go to two houses."

"They are the same family, the Fang family of the ink-making workshop in the south of the city... When you get there, you don't need to hide it. Tell Boss Fang straight to the point that his daughter's body is in the Yamen and ask him to come over and see it and identify it."

"Which one is his daughter?"

"Then it depends on which one he wants to adopt as his daughter..." Shen Xiaojia chuckled, "Sir, you just came to Moon City and you don't know. The choice of Moon Girl for this Moon God Festival was decided a month ago.

She is a woman born on the yin day of the yin year, the yin month, and the only daughter of Boss Fang in the entire Moon City meets the requirements, but the only one in Boss Fang’s family is the apple of his eye..."

"Understood!" Jiang Captou said with eyes shining, "Substantiating the situation, Li Daitao is dead! Do you have any evidence?"

Shen Xiaojia pointed at the two porcelain bowls in the widow's room, raised the tip of his nose and said, "This must be an ironclad proof!"

Jiang Captou pondered for a while and then figured out the key. He took a deep look at Shen Xiaojia and praised him meaningfully, "You are indeed a smart man... That's all. As long as the case can be solved earlier, I will help you run away."

As soon as I return my legs, I will go immediately..."

"Sir," Shen Xiaojia interrupted Mr. Jiang's words and said with sincerity in his eyes, "Be careful on the road. The last pockmarked guy who ran errands for me has turned into ashes. You can't let anything happen again!"

Capt. Jiang's expression suddenly froze, he coughed dryly, touched his mustache and said, "Don't worry, even if this thunder doesn't have eyes, it won't fall on my head." He shouted, called two detectives, and walked out boldly.

At the gate of the government office, "Please pack the things in the room earlier. I only need to take a pee and I will be back!"

"That's quite a long time," Shen Xiaojia looked at Jiang Captou's back and shrugged, "I thought you asked about my specialty..."

After moving his arms a few times, Shen Xiaojia returned to the widow's workshop, took a thin needle with transparent silk thread from the small square stool, restored the internal organs of the two female corpses to their original positions, held the fine needle to sew the incisions in the chest and abdomen, and moved

As fast as the wind, yet extremely stable.

A moment later, Shen Xiaojia had finished suturing the two female corpses. At first glance, there was no trace of anatomical incisions. Putting away the dissection tools, Shen Xiaojia walked out of the widow's workshop and looked at the blood-red silk on his hands.

However, he did not take off his gloves, nor did he rush to clean the blood on his face. Instead, he took three steps at a time to the backyard of the government office, and knocked three times on the east window of a certain wing.

A cold voice sounded in the side room, "Shen Xiaojia?"

"The eldest sir is really discerning..." Shen Xiaojia bowed and replied, "It's the little one."

"You have such a sharp eye! You are the only one in this government office who doesn't knock on the door every time you come to me. You only knock on the window, and you always only knock three times... Talk about something if you have something to say, and get out of here if you don't!"

"Sir, I have something to ask of you!"

"There is no need to discuss the advance of monthly salary. It is only the eighth day of the Lunar New Year and you have already made two advances..."

"It's not about this," Shen Xiaojia smiled shyly, "To be precise, it's because I have a fortune to give to the great master."

There was a brief silence in the wing room, and then the cold voice of the government official came again, "I'm not interested. I just want to wait peacefully until the day I become official and go back to my hometown to take care of myself."

"Don't you want to climb a few more steps?" Shen Xiaojia said softly, "Even if the elder doesn't think about himself, he should plan a good future for the young master who is still working hard in Kyoto."

"My children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I can't control that much..."

"This great wealth can help the young master rise to prominence in Kyoto! It can help the big master promote you to the third rank!"

"It's all passing by."

Shen Xiaojia bit his lip, stood up straight, and said in a cold voice, "Liu Nai, you have to have this great wealth if you want it, and if you don't want it, you have to have it!"

"How outrageous!" came the furious voice of the government official from the side room, "Shen Xiaojia, who gave you the courage to be so rude to me, are you tired of living?"

"If you refuse this great wealth, I will tell Madam that you have nine concubines outside!"

"What great wealth? Let's talk about it..."

Shen Xiaojia's face suddenly turned gloomy. He lowered his voice and muttered by the window for a while, and finally added, "Then you write a memorial to impeach him. It must be full of swear words. Otherwise, it won't show the resentment in your heart..."

The yamen master's trembling voice came from the side room, "How can you be so wealthy? You are so dangerous!"

"Wealth comes from danger! In addition, I want you to help me act out a scene and drive the dog into the back alley!"

"You're crazy! If you dare to force him in this moon city, I'm afraid you and I won't be able to see the sun the next day! No!"

Shen Xiaojia pretended to sigh helplessly, "Then I have no choice but to tell you about your affair with the seventeenth concubine of the Qingshan City Government Office next door. It can be considered a romantic affair and will definitely become a good story..."

With a creak, the wooden window next to him suddenly opened. The gray-haired Liu Nai stuck out his head and stared at Shen Xiaojia with an angry look on his face. He was about to roar a few words, but saw the blood stains on Shen Xiaojia's face and hands. He suddenly remembered something.
