Du Jingyi's face was haggard, which shows how nervous he was about this matter. "I haven't found out yet, but I can't get rid of it. The officials also received the news early this morning. Let the patrol soldiers tell you the specific situation."
The patrol soldier respectfully saluted Su Jin'er and reported truthfully: "My lord, I have led a team to patrol. Several dead bodies were found ten miles away from the bamboo forest in the northern suburbs, so I informed Lord Du as soon as possible."
Su Jin'er's pace slowed down a little, and the scattering in her eyes gradually became solemn: "Have you done a good job, have you gone to the government to file?"
Du Jingyi sighed: "Before I had time to go, the lower official immediately secretly counted the number of candidates in the building after receiving the news. He found that several candidates had disappeared since last night, and no one had found them yet. This case was not that simple, and the lower official dared not notify the government early, so he dragged it on."
He didn't want the matter to be known too quickly, especially for the students. If they knew that there was a murder in Juxianlou, it would not cause panic. This time he had no choice but to come over and ask for help.
Any candidates are missing?
Su Jiner knew that the case was not that simple, so she immediately said decisively: "What are you waiting for? Let's go to the scene first."
"There will inevitably be bloody on the scene, Miss Jin, you--"
When Du Jingyi thought that the case was bound by life, he really had no choice but to ask for help, so how could he really let Su Jiner and a woman go to see the bloody scene?
"It's okay. If you don't even have the courage to look at a dead person, how can you stay in the palace in the future?" The palace is a place where her personal life is thinner than paper, and she has seen death before.
"Okay..." Just when people were in need, Du Jingyi cleverly chose to remain silent, speed up her pace and lead the way in front, leading the people onto a carriage. Soon after, the three of them arrived at the northern suburbs.
"Miss Jin, it's the crime scene over there."
Looking in the direction Du Jingyi pointed, a group of soldiers were divided into several teams surrounding the scene. There was neither an official road nor a way out of the city in the northern suburbs. There was relatively few people in this area. Occasionally, one or two people stopped, which was driven by curiosity.
"Let's go and take a look." A group of soldiers outside were pulled away, and when they approached, they realized that everyone was actually outside the encirclement, and the patrol captain in the lead looked cautious.
What's inside, no one dares to go in?
What Su Jiner didn't expect was that Lin Chi was also there, and she couldn't help but ask: "When did the young master of the Lin family come? Didn't the news be blocked?"
Du Jingyi was also helpless: "Prince Lin was probably influenced by Lord Lin and was very interested in various cases. As long as there are cases in Yecheng, he must be there, so he can't hide it. However, he promised to give in and not report it before the murderer was found out."
"Su Jin'er, what are you doing when you are a woman?" Lin Chi turned his head and saw Su Jin'er coming at a glance. He looked disapproving, and then explained as if he knew her doubts. "The dead body was discovered two hours ago, just in the grass in front, but walking a little further in, you will faint. I just arrived. It is said that the person who found the body at the beginning fell down as soon as he called for a dead person, and the people who came in behind were not spared, sneer." He said, pointing to the soldiers lying on the ground, with a sad look on his face.
After hearing what he said, Du Jingyi was a little alert. The air nearby... was indeed a bit different from usual...
Su Jin'er had some insight and looked at the grass that was deep in the knees not far ahead, and the ten-mile bamboo forest that was very close to each other, and turned to a soldier near him, "Go and get me a pair of clean gloves and wet towels."
"Sir Jin, what you want." The thin soldier quickly presented a stack of objects, and he respectfully retreated to the side without raising his head.
Putting on gloves and covering her mouth and nose with a wet mask, Su Jiner was about to step forward, and Lin Chi seemed to see her intention and stopped her with a quick step. "Su Jiner, you can't go. It's too dangerous to find out what else exists there."
"If you don't go forward to investigate, how can you solve the case?"
Su Jiner fixed the face towel tightly with a faint expression. When she looked at Du Jingyi in a blink of an eye, she had a playful smile in her eyes. "Mr. Du, I am helping you. If you really go away forever, remember to find me a Feng Shui treasure land." As she said that, she walked towards the grass.
Why was Lin Chi willing to fall behind? He simply took a veil and drenched it in water, covered it up, and followed quickly. "Okay, don't leave me behind, we're going together."
Du Jingyi wanted to keep up with her, but she was afraid that if something happened inside, there was not even a person in charge of the overall situation, so she could only send a few soldiers to follow her up to protect her.
Several people walked around the soldiers who fainted on the ground and walked straight to the place where the incident happened. Su Jin'er's eyes accidentally fell into the grass. The tragic death of the corpse made the crowd turn around, and even Lin Chi, a man, could not avoid knots.
The two of them half-squatted in front of the corpse. Oh no, to be precise, they were in front of several seriously damaged corpses. They held a wooden stick in their hands and looked around. Although Su Jiner and Lin Chi were not professional forensic pestle, they had contacted each other before, and at least they could analyze it.
This is a body that has been sucked away with flesh and blood. The remaining bones are wrapped with broken flesh, making it impossible to tell the appearance of the dead. It is like it was pulled out from the inside, and even the body is not complete, with a few pieces of white bones scattered around it.
"Miss Jin, are you okay?"
Du Jingyi's voice sounded behind her, causing the two of them to turn around in surprise. "Why are you here?"
"I don't worry about you, so come and take a look, this--
Du Jingyi pressed the disgust and pinched her nose and came forward, "It seems that she has been dead for a long time."
"wrong!"
Lin Chi shook his head and pointed it out to him. "Mr. Du, have you seen groups of ants on the ground? Several dead people have unified wounds on their bodies, and they are all in the direction of their necks. The insects and ants are looking for the fishy smell, otherwise the blood will not be able to smell. There is also the skin. The only epidermis of the deceased are grayish-white now, and the time of the murder was about to be about the hour of Hai last night. Otherwise, if they were placed for a long time, the skin should be blue-gray."
"Oh, this is the first time I encountered this situation, but why can't we get close to you just now?" Du Jingyi was so excited that she did not forget to cover a wet veil.
Lin Chi looked at one of the small pieces of white bones in ponderingly, "If it was as I thought, then before we arrived at the scene, there should be someone else who had been here, and had used bone-removing water to the deceased. However, before the scene could be cleaned up, our people appeared." The bone-removing water and the corpse had a series of reactions, and the poison excreted was enough to faint ten cows. They broke in without even taking any measures. It would be if they didn't dizzy.
Du Jingyi said: "According to this calculation, the murderer can't run far, he must be near the imperial city."
The northern suburbs of Yecheng are famous for their quietness and lead to the unknown forest of the mountain. You can go up to the official road by walking straight east of the city. The south and west of the city are the two main roads in Tongcheng. There are messengers in the palace and it will take at least half a day to send individuals from the south gate to the west gate. It is considered that the imperial city is so big that there are soldiers patrolling from time to time. Once the order is ordered, it is absolutely impossible for a person to get rid of danger in one day, unless he is a god.
Su Jiner's tone was a bit weird, "That would be great if it was a human."
"What does it mean?" Lin Chiwei was stunned for a moment and looked over in confusion.
Gently pulling open the grass, a wet path was exposed. When Lin Chi's puzzled eyes were received, Su Jin'er pointed it out to him personally. "Did you find that the soil in the northern suburbs is generally mostly mud and sand, which is relatively humid, so even if it is hot, the path under the grass will not change much. Look here, besides the footprints of people, you can see the same shape of marks every other section. Although you don't know what kind of creature this is, the mark is exactly consistent with the scratches on the deceased--"
"In other words, this is not artificial, but someone wants to deliberately hide the truth and blind our eyes after the incident?" Lin Chi took over the words with a sudden realization.
"Yes, this is the other party's purpose." Su Jin'er was inevitably disappointed when her eyes locked around her. The clue happened to be broken here. We did not have enough evidence and could not find out who the murderer was.
"Several adults have found it!"
Suddenly, an anxious cry pulled everyone's eyes over.
"I just found some fragments around me, so I'm——"
The soldier who was preparing to present the items in his hand like a treasure was glaring back before he could finish his words.
"Really, what's the use of finding this?" The teammate below couldn't help but mutter. The soldier's face just now felt embarrassed and was about to throw away the thing, but he was interrupted by a shout.
Su Jiner's eyes narrowed after accidentally sweeping over the unknown objects. "Wait! Take it here and show me."
this……
She took some and placed it on her palm, twisted off the soil on it, and the things wrapped in silt were exposed to the air.
They were several scales, which were diamond-shaped and yellow-brown, with straight stripes on them. The surface was extremely smooth to the touch, and even shine under the sunlight above the head.
Su Jiner thought for a moment and asked someone to get the fire stick. Looking at the thin scales baked out on the flames, her heart stumbled. She glanced at the dead bones and turned to Du Jingyi quietly. "Mr. Du, don't continue to check. If you ask someone to search everywhere, see if there are any lost objects around, and determine the identity of the deceased."
"Why did you say this? Miss Jin has found the real murderer?" Du Jingyi was overjoyed.
