The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

Chapter 104

The villagers watching the excitement outside did not lose their curiosity and enthusiasm just because it was getting dark and cool.

Seeing Village Chief Dong trotting, carefully guarding the food box towards the courtyard, he didn't think much of it at first, only thinking that he was brought here for the yamen guards guarding the courtyard gate.

Even Xiao Liu, who came to help Zao Ban, thought that Village Chief Dong brought him a food box, and asked in surprise, "Village Chief, didn't you say that I will eat it after Shui Sheng and the others have finished eating?"

Woohoo, he doesn't want to eat outside the haunted house where the smell of dead bodies is coming in!
"Chen Yuzuo was hungry and asked for a meal. I saw that the yamen servant brothers were having a good time eating, and they couldn't finish eating in a while. I was afraid that Chen Yuzuo would wait for a long time, so I brought her the meal first." These trivial matters are unnecessary. Village Chief Dong did it himself, but he wanted to get in touch with Team Leader Yu more, so he was naturally willing to make a few more trips to clean his face and show a good performance.

"Ah? Oh...then hurry up and go in." Yan Xiaoliu also had some understanding of Chen Yuan. He was a ruthless person who dared to dissect corpses with bare hands during the selection and assessment of apprentices.

Just like that, the village chief pushed open the door and entered in front of the onlookers.

"What did the village chief say?"

"Chen Yuzuo wants to eat inside!" Someone succinctly summed up the meaning of the village chief's words.

The villagers opened their mouths in shock, even though he had never seen the tragedy in the courtyard, he knew that six people died inside, "We are separated by a wall, and the smell of corpses is coming out one after another, disgusting, the smell in the courtyard is even stronger Well, is there anyone else who can eat?"

Watching the excitement is also divided into waves. From morning to night, I never leave, and there are no fierce people who don't go back to eat.

Those who came back to watch the excitement after finishing their work only listened to what the previous group of people had said, and the rumors about the work were mostly sarcastic.

At this moment, they began to doubt what their trusted neighbors said, "Didn't you say that Chen Yuzuo is a coward who is afraid of riding a horse?"

"That's right, you're still saying that she's weak and incompetent, she's a little bitch who doesn't even know how to perform an autopsy because she relies on coaxing the yamen servants to help her? Dare a coward dare to eat inside?"

"Shh, I didn't say that, what are you talking about here?"

"Who knows if she really wants to eat, maybe she will vomit in a while."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smell of food wafted out of the courtyard along with the stench of corpses.

Food box opened...

The well in the courtyard had been inspected by the government officials early on. There was no dead body, no murder weapon, and no poison. It was very clean.

Chen Yuan fetched water, washed her hands with soap locusts, and opened the food box.

Wow, this dish is quite rich.

"Salty roasted white, cold and mixed ear root, scrambled eggs with mushrooms!" Although the meat is divided into two pieces, the preserved vegetables soaked in lard are very fragrant and go well with rice.

She poured the rice into the bowl of vegetables, picked up the bowl and started eating.

Today, she was really hungry, and her stomach was empty after sitting on the horse. If she hadn't been so nervous at work that made her forget that she was hungry, how could she have persisted until now.

Chen Yuan, who was so hungry that she could swallow a cow, did not gobble up her meal, but ate a little faster.

The yamen servants saw that she could still eat in such an environment, and their emotions were complicated and tangled beyond words.

The county government's food is not bad, how can you starve her like this?

However, after eating two mouthfuls of rice and resting her stomach, Chen Yuan, whose brain came back to life, suddenly stopped, "Yes, I suspected this just now! I was dizzy from hunger, and almost forgot."

"What's wrong?" Yu Quan asked eagerly as soon as he heard that he was about to solve the case.

Holding the bowl in one hand, Chen Yuan held the chopsticks horizontally in the other hand and pointed at the corpses one by one, "Dong Liu's tongue was cut off, Dong Chunmiao's two ears, Dong Chengzong's two eyeballs and life roots, Dong Zhou’s face, inner thigh... lips, and Dong Sanbao’s two palms, I just searched in the yard for a long time, but they were nowhere to be found, so they should have been taken away by the murderer.”

Some murderers like to take away souvenirs, which may be a part of the victim's body, or it may be the victim's beloved object.

Most of these murderers are mentally abnormal.

"..." You are eating, can you eat well?Why are you still leading us to see the corpse! ! !

"..." Oh my god, are you a woman, are you a human, just after seeing the corpse, I started eating again!

In the afternoon, Ma Li felt that his endurance had been steadily increasing layer by layer, and his heart that was constantly tempered had already been numb, and he would not be more shocked by anything.

Only now did I realize that he was really too young.

The girl didn't babble while eating, but in the quiet courtyard, everyone's hearing seemed to be amplified infinitely, and they could hear her eating clearly.

"Leader, I'm going out to get some air..."

"I also……"

"Don't go out." In the past, Yu Quan felt that he was quite strict with his subordinates. Except for Shui Sheng who couldn't stand up to the wall, the other yamen servants already had a strong enough heart under his training.

Now, he feels that what he has done is not enough. This is a good opportunity to let everyone see how the little girl does it. She can keep her face unchanged before the collapse of Mount Tai, and eat it in front of the rotten corpse.

Stimulating them a bit more will also help them develop a competitive mentality.

As a yamen servant, how could he be frightened by mere corpses?

Chen Yuan eats well, it's not that her nose is broken, it's just that she is extremely hungry, if she doesn't stand in a downwind position, there will be so much corpse smell coming into her nose.

Liu Yanchun, who has been silent today, took the initiative to speak, "I heard about the murderer you mentioned when I was in the capital. Every time the murderer killed a girl wearing red embroidered shoes, he would put the The red embroidered shoes were taken away, and eighteen girls died."

In the night, the light brought by the torch was swayed by the evening wind, which added a bit of bizarre and weird atmosphere to the crime scene.

The yamen servant in a small county town on the border, who had never heard of such a horrific serial murder case, couldn't stop shaking when he heard the words, "Apprentice Liu, there are Imperial Forest Army, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Six Gates in the capital, how can such a thing happen?" Vicious serial murder?"

The subtext is that you don't fool me.

Liu Yanchun turned his face to the side, the jumping yellow flames could not illuminate the shadows under the corners of his eyes, he seemed to curl his lips, "It didn't just happen, the murderer hasn't been caught until the time I was exiled."

This really surpassed the imagination of the little yamen servants. In their minds, there are so many capable people and strangers gathered in the capital, and the people in the capital are the most powerful. How could they not catch the murderer!
Sun A Niu said firmly, "You have been in exile for three years, and you don't know the news from the capital. That murderer must have been caught by these capable people long ago."

"maybe."

Liu Yanchun responded lightly, but then squinted at Sun A Niu, and rolled his eyes with a malicious smile, "Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Liushanmen have been arresting the murderer for eight years, but he still kills people under their noses." Seizing the shoes scares the girls in the capital from going out in red embroidered shoes for eight years, but it is inevitable for married brides to wear red embroidered shoes, so..."
