The duke of the governor's family is leaving again

The tiles and bricks after the collapse of the tower were scattered on the ground, making it so chaotic that people had nowhere to stay.

But you can also see a burned-black corpse lying among the broken tiles.

The people watching looked scared and curious.

Some brave ones stepped forward to clean up the rubble and bricks covering the corpse.

"I thought it was a playful child who got into the tower, but I didn't expect it to be a strong man with broad shoulders and long legs."

"How can such a big man get into this small tile tower?"

"Yeah, how did you get in?"

"Except when building a tower of tiles, just build it inside."

"Yes, this tile tower is so small that only a child of two or three years old can fit into the hole underneath for burning firewood."

"When the wata is being built, people are coming and going. If there is someone sitting in it, how can it be invisible?"

"It must be divine punishment!"

"Yes, only gods can stuff people into the Wata without anyone noticing."

"Then he must have blasphemed the gods during his lifetime and received retribution."

"If a god can harm anyone, it must be because he offended some kid and got retribution."

"Yes, yes, how can a god do bad things?"

Chen Yuan listened to the discussions of others and habitually took the lead in looking at the "enthusiastic people" who were cleaning up the broken bricks and tiles and the people who were having heated discussions.

As she looked around, some people also recognized the government servant's robe she was wearing.

Because she had her hair in a ponytail and was dressed like a man, it was hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman unless you looked carefully at night.

I just heard someone shouting, "The government official is here."

The people thought that a group of yamen runners had arrived and stepped aside, but when they turned around they saw only a thin and slender short figure, and they all looked at him with suspicion.

I have never seen such a short and tender-faced yamen servant, and he does not have the ferocious aura of common yamen servants. Could it be that some child has secretly worn the clothes of an adult in the family?

Chen Yuan had long been accustomed to looking at her like this. She took out her ID card and shouted at the top of her lungs, "The Yamen is handling the case, and any irrelevant personnel should get out of the way."

Most of the people were illiterate. When they saw that she took out a brass waist badge, which was the same style as the yamen servants they had seen before, they didn't dare ask for her hands to examine it carefully, so they all stepped aside to let her pass.

Chen Yuan avoided the bricks and tiles and walked to the body.

Due to the "good intentions" of the enthusiastic people, the scene was completely destroyed.

The footprints were a mess.

In order to dig out the people buried under the bricks and tiles, everyone picked up the bricks and tiles and threw them outside, which gave Chen Yuan a headache. It would take a lot of effort to restore the scene.

Chen Yuan took out a pen and paper and took the time to draw a rough outline of the current scene.

The people watching were amazed when they saw her outline the surrounding scene and the appearance of the kneeling corpse with just a few strokes.

"Master Yamen, you don't have to worry about bad luck when you draw dead people!"

"Not to mention, Mr. Yachai's painting is really good."

"With a dead person in the painting, aren't you afraid that he will come to your house in the middle of the night and cause trouble in the house?"

Without colleagues to help cordon off the scene, the crime scene looked like a busy city.

Chen Yuan knew that the people might not be able to understand her explanation of the purpose of painting the scene. On the contrary, questions would pop up one after another. She didn't have that much time to explain them one by one now.

Thinking about the weirdness of these two cases, she clicked on the paper on the board and said, "It's better if he comes. When he comes, I can ask him how he got into the Watta."

"You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers."

Hearing this, the person who asked the question took two steps back with a strange look on his face, as if he was afraid of being implicated by Chen Yuan. Others also followed suit and no longer curiously gathered in front of her to watch her work.

Chen Yuan put away the pen and paper nonchalantly and maintained the scene.

Not long after, Shui Sheng ran over with four cadres.

Shui Sheng had long been accustomed to Chen Yuan's method of handling cases. After asking Chen Yuan for his opinion, he took the lead and gently moved the bricks and stones around the body to an open space not far away and stacked them.

With him taking the lead, the four yamen officials didn't know the intention, but they didn't throw bricks and stones violently. They only secretly blamed the new boss for having too many demands, but they didn't dare to object openly.

The chaotou told them that this work was brought over by Cai Gongshu, the government official.

Even if she is just a co-worker who deals with dead people, she is still a co-worker of the government government. How can the government officials in their county government dare to say anything. In this way, the scene was cleaned up in an orderly manner according to Chen Yuan's requirements.

There were no bricks or tiles around the body. Chen Yuan took out lime powder from the toolbox Shui Sheng brought and sprinkled it around the body.

Immediately, Chen Yuan gave a pair of gloves to the government servant who would cooperate with him in moving the body.

The onlookers waited for a long time and finally saw the Yamen carrying the dead man out.

After turning it over, the front side of the corpse appeared, which scared the onlookers to screams.

After being burned by the fire, the face had been damaged beyond recognition, making it impossible to identify the deceased by his face.

Even if you want to judge his identity by the material of his clothes, it is difficult because the clothes have been burned to ashes.

"pat"

Something covered in black ash fell from the body, and Chen Yuan bent down to pick it up.

It is rectangular in shape, half the size of Chen Yuan's hand.

Use Baijuan to wipe away a corner of the ashes, revealing a translucent and moist blue color.

It's an emerald stone.

Chen Yuan didn't know much about the material of jade. This thing should be helpful in identifying the identity of the corpse.

Put it into the evidence bag and put it in the evidence box.

Before Chen Yuan could take a closer look at the condition of the body, Yuan Jie hurried over again.

"Chen Wuzuo, please come with me."

Seeing the anxiety on his face, Chen Yuan put down the work in his hands and walked to the side with him, "What happened?"

Yuan Jie carefully looked around to make sure no one was around, then whispered.

"Something happened to Cai Gongshu."

Chen Yuan was shocked.

She had a good impression of Cai Gongshu. He was a pragmatic person. His help in making glass would be even more powerful and she would be able to fulfill her wish to go to Beijing as soon as possible.

If something else happened, there was no need for Yuan Jie to come to her as a widow to complain. He would definitely have something to do with the murder.

"Is Cai Gongshu... okay?"

Yuan Jie slapped himself on the forehead fiercely, "Oh, it's all my fault that I didn't explain clearly. Cai Gongshu is still alive, but he... Boss Ma who was in the same room with him is dead. There are only two of them in the room. This is troublesome. It’s very important that you go over and take a look, it’s important to clear Cai Gongshu’s suspicions.”

"Okay, let me tell you a few words and then I'll leave with you right away."

"Okay." Yuan Jie didn't rush him and watched quietly as Chen Yuan arranged for the government officials to guard the scene and then left with her and Shui Sheng.

The crime took place at Boss Ma’s house.

This is a large courtyard with three entrances. The decoration style is unique, with porcelain touches everywhere.

The courtyard walls are made of porcelain tiles, and the stone tables, benches and several stone pillars in the courtyard are made to look like porcelain vases.

Even the hanging lanterns are made of paper into various styles of porcelain.

Chen Yuan took a quick glance at the courtyard and was led into the courtyard by Yuan Jie, who was already guarded by the government officials.

The atmosphere outside the hospital was very tense. In addition to the government officials, there were also more guards than the government officials, all holding sticks and confronting the government officials.

In addition, there was a group of crying women and children standing outside the hospital, wearing gold, silver and silk.

They should be Boss Ma's family members.

To Chen Yuan's arrival, the women and children in the backyard didn't have much reaction and kept crying.

"Is this the work you brought?"

The man who looked like the leader in the nursing home raised his chin to Chen Yuan and asked Yuan Jie his question with an unwavering expression.

From his disdainful and angry eyes, it could be seen that he was very dissatisfied with the young Chen Yuan.

Yuan Jie took a step forward and stood in front of Chen Yuan, "Ma Huyuan, despite her young age, Chen Zuozuo's achievements are ranked among the top in the whole Lingnan. If not, the prefect would not It will take a lot of effort to transfer her from Weiyu County to the prefect's Yamen as an errand."
