Chapter 30 White Zombie
Birds of a feather flock together. Zhao Xun was originally a literary youth, so he naturally liked to get along with literary youth.
The literary literacy shown by Li Jianye made Zhao Xun interested in continuing to talk to him.
The two of them chatted and had a great time.
I was already slightly drunk in a short while.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, Zhao Xun stood up and said goodbye.
In general, I got along very happily with Li Jianye today, with many friends and roads, let alone the prince of the King of Qi.
Whether it is status or resources, Li Jianye is top-notch.
Zhao Xun felt that there would be something useful to get this prince in the future.
When he rode his horse and returned to the bad guy's office, the evening drum had already sounded.
Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief.
After the evening drum, there is a curfew. Although the bad guys and the Beating Geng are the only two who can walk on the streets after the curfew, Zhao Xun still doesn't want to have trouble.
Otherwise, if you are asked thoroughly, it will be a troublesome thing.
But after he returned to the yamen, he saw Jia Xingwen and Pan Wangcai's faces gloomy and looked embarrassed, and his heart immediately skipped a beat.
"Brother Jia, what happened?"
"Wu Ci is dead."
Jia Xingwen said in great grief: "He should have been dead for several days, but his body was discovered today.
Wu Ci is a secret chess for bad people. Compared with those bad people who live on the surface, the living environment of the secret chess is even worse and there is a possibility of sudden death at any time.
Once their identities are exposed, they may be in danger of life.
But it is precisely because of these secret chess that bad people can find out a lot of useful information and play the role of surveillance of officials.
Zhao Xun just heard that Jia Xingwen mentioned Wu Ci on weekdays and did not know much about this person, so he asked: "Brother Jia, where was Wu Ci's body discovered?"
"It's in Changlefang, which was originally his area. He should have been killed after being exposed."
Jia Xingwen clenched his fists tightly, his veins swelled up, and his eyes were full of anger.
"Where is the body now?"
"It's in the yamen."
"Brother Jia, don't be excited. Let's go and check the body first to see if you can find some clues. Wangcai, you stay here, come to me immediately if you have any circumstances."
Zhao Xun was helpless. Unexpectedly, this happened to the bad guys' yamen when he went to Leyouyuan to attend the banquet.
Those who dare to kill bad people in Chang'an City must be either rich or noble.
What made Zhao Xun even more uneasy was that he vaguely felt that the behind the incident was related to the death of the Censor He Yuanshan.
Hopefully, he just thought too much.
It can be seen that Jia Xingwen and Wu Ci have a good personal relationship, so Zhao Xun will do his best to investigate and give Jia Xingwen an explanation.
The bad guys have their own prisons, and prisoners who are interrogated and beaten to death are placed in the morgue every day.
Wu Ci's body was also there.
Zhao Xun and Jia Xing arrived in a hurry. Zhao Xun took a deep breath and lifted the white cloth covered with the body.
hiss!
Seeing the tragic situation of the body, Zhao Xun couldn't help but gasp.
I saw that the body was thin and shriveled, with pale skin, as if it had been sucked dry.
It's a completely mummy!
Zhao Xun tried hard to calm down his mood, and then asked: "Brother Jia, has the coroner examined the body?"
Jia Xingwen choked and said, "It's been tested, there are not even corpse spots on this corpse, let alone wounds."
"This is not like being injured and killed, but like being done by a monster."
Jia Xingwen was obviously a little excited and his whole body was trembling.
Zhao Xun frowned and thought about various possibilities carefully.
There are monsters in this world, otherwise Jia Xingwen would not have thought it was done by monsters after the tragic death of Yushi He.
But this is just a possibility, and it does not mean that if a corpse is a mummy, it must be sucked dry by a monster.
It is said that seeing is true, hearing is false.
But the vision in the world of practitioners may not be true, because it may be a scheming method.
Everything needs to be judged after an autopsy.
With the experience last time, Zhao Xun did not have much confidence in the coronership of the bad people's yamen.
"Brother Jia, come and help me find some hot charcoal ash and spread it on the ground. I have a way to restore the body."
Restore the body?
Jia Xingwen was skeptical. But he had seen Zhao Xun's skills before, and turned around and left with a try-and-see attitude.
It's time to show off your true technology!
Zhao Xun tried hard to recall the details he saw in the autopsy books in his previous life and sorted out the order one by one.
When Jia Xingwen found the hot charcoal ash, he said loudly: "Brother Jia, spread the hot charcoal ash on the ground, it is the same as the length and width of the corpse."
After saying that, he took the thin cloth covering the body, covered it with hot charcoal ash, and then took water and sprayed the cloth slightly wet.
"Brother Jia, let's put the body on it and lie on your back."
The two of them each raised their bodies while putting Wu Ci's body on the wet cloth.
"Pick a piece of cloth and cover the head, face and limbs. Then sprinkle hot charcoal ash on the corpse, and then cover the corpse with a soaked cloth."
After one operation, Zhao Xun was already sweating profusely.
Now the corpse has been clamped into three plus two shapes by hot charcoal ash and thin cloth. The next thing to do is wait.
"Brother Jia, we have to wait for an hour now, and the flesh of the body will definitely become soft. Now we are just taking a break. By the way, is there any hot vinegar in the yamen?"
"Hot vinegar? What should I do if I need hot vinegar?"
"You go and get it, I have a wonderful use."
Zhao Xun paused and then continued: "By the way, I'll take some onions, pepper, salt, white plums, and wine lees."
Jia Xingwen became even more confused now.
This is not cooking, what to do with so many ingredients?
But now he has full trust in Zhao Xun, and no matter what Zhao Xun says, he will do it.
After about a moment, Jia Xingwen found all the ingredients. Zhao Xun mixed them together and mashed them without hesitation, made them into pancakes and heated them on the fire.
When the time came, the flesh of the corpse began to soften. Zhao Xun first wiped the corpse with hot vinegar, then paddled it with paper on the corpse, and then used high-temperature baked cakes to burn the corpse. Then, scars appeared on the corpse's neck.
Wu Ci was strangled to death!
In order to cover up the truth, the murderer refined Wu Ci's body into a mummy, so that the bad guys think it was done by a monster!
hiss!
The details of this case are exactly the same as the murder of the censor He Yuanshan. If Zhao Xun was not the same group of people, they would not believe it!
"Who killed Wu Ci? I must find him and cut him into pieces!"
Jia Xingwen roared wildly, his emotions completely out of control.
Zhao Xun comforted him, "Brother Jia, I will definitely investigate with you to the end, and there will definitely be the day when the truth will be revealed."
