Chapter 14 The Disappearing Corpse

In the morgue of the criminal punishment department, Zhu You looked at the empty bed board with a pale face, a white cloth was thrown on the ground, and Uncle Guang's body on it had long since disappeared, and the old guard in charge turned green. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"My lord, I don't know when I disappeared. It was still there yesterday. When I came this morning, I found it was gone!"

Ye Ke looked around the morgue and found that there was only one exit. For fear of the smell of corpses, there were vents on the north and south walls of the room, but the hollow partitions above were intact and there was no sign of being opened.

"Uncle Zhang, when was the last time you saw Uncle Guang's body yesterday?"

Lao Zhang thought for a while and said, "It was when Young Master Zhu was put into the coffin yesterday, and the yamen servants in charge of escorting him were still present at that time!"

Zhu You immediately summoned the four yamen servants who were in charge of escorting, and the confession was the same. Yesterday afternoon, Uncle Guang's body was on the bed board, and Zhu Yuan's body was carried into the coffin by them. , nothing abnormal was found.

Afterwards, the yamen servant in charge of guarding the punishment department reported that everything was normal last night, and there was no change.

A yamen servant trembled and said, "Could it be, it's haunted!"

The rest of the yamen servants also had faces full of horror, a corpse suddenly disappeared out of thin air, is this haunted or something?
"Hmph! The sky is bright and the sun is bright, where does the ghost come from? I don't believe in the ghosts and gods. If anyone talks about it, I will kill him!"

As soon as these words came out, the people who were discussing immediately shut up.

Ye Ke was quite frank. Although she was a woman, as a socialist fighter and a forensic doctor who worked with corpses all the year round, she had more respect for the corpses of the dead than ghosts and gods.

"Come on, send me a message to the Patrol Division. Immediately fortify the four gates and conduct strict investigations. The rest of the people search the whole city and must find the body for me! I don't believe it. He can still fly!"

Zhu You gave the order calmly and majesticly, everyone got to work immediately after getting the order, and Lao Zhang also withdrew.

After everyone had left, Zhu You asked Ye Ke who was still wandering around the house, "Sister-in-law, did you find anything?"

Ye Ke didn't directly answer Zhu You's question, but instead said: "The murderer stole Uncle Guang's body just to destroy the evidence, and there's no point in being anxious. I'll leave this matter to the yamen servants for the time being, but there is one thing I've always been very concerned about." care about."

While pacing, Zhu You nodded and signaled Ye Ke to continue with his eyes.

"Where did you go to investigate the left-handed news yesterday?"

Zhu You immediately took out a file from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Kedao: "This morning, the yamen servant has replied to me. This file lists all the left-handed people in the capital. There are 37 people in total, and three of them fit the height. , except for one woman, the other two have been proved by someone to have not gone to the south of the city at the time of the incident."

While looking at the file, Ye Ke said, "Why did the woman get fired?"

Zhu You took it for granted, "That woman's feet are bound, it doesn't fit her footprints."

Ye Ke slapped his head and forgot about this. Many women in ancient times had the habit of binding their feet. Although it was a bad habit that permeated women, but at this moment it saved the woman from suspicion, which is considered a useful habit.

As for the alibi of the two men, they are very sufficient. One is a drunkard who was drinking in the lobby of a restaurant in the north of the city when the crime happened. , the master and students of the academy can also testify.

"Yaoji, you eighty thousand, all the clues are broken!" Ye Ke slapped the file on the table, a little annoyed.

Zhu You stared blankly at Ye Ke, Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out, although he could hear that it was a curse word, but, Yao***wan?What is that?

Ye Ke continued to flip through the file in his hand, and after reading all the lists again, he suddenly found that there was something wrong with the list.

"My lord, the people on these lists do not involve the whole capital." Ye Ke said.

Zhu You came back to his senses, and said without hesitation: "Impossible, the area and street where the people on the file are all marked, how could they be absent?"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Ye Ke who was staring at innocent dog eyes in shock, and murmured: "No way, sister-in-law means the imperial city!?"

The layout of the capital is composed of four districts in the southeast, northwest, and the imperial city in the middle. The so-called principle is that the stars support the moon.

And on that list, all the streets and urban areas have been searched, but only this imperial city has not been investigated, and they dare not investigate. , Ye Ke has also understood many situations these days, so the status of the Duke's Mansion has been different for a year after the death of the previous Duke Ding.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yuan was killed, the emperor was only giving a strict order to solve the case, just a verbal order, not even an imperial decree, enough to see the status of the Duke's Mansion.

However, there is only one exception in this country's government, and that is the Lord Ti Xing Zhu in front of him. The emperor only favors him. He has ordered Zhu You to enter the cabinet many times, or to be the Minister of Dali Temple. But they were all rejected by Zhu You, and the emperor was not annoyed, almost as long as Zhu You expressed his intentions, the emperor would agree.

This is also the reason why the Duke's Mansion has not yet fallen in the capital where the party struggle is so serious.

"No way"

Ye Ke looked at him seriously and said, "When dealing with the Xing Prison case, eliminate all impossibilities, and what remains, no matter how outrageous or untrue it is, is the truth."

Zhu You groaned for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, but it is definitely unrealistic to directly investigate the imperial city. The punishment department does not have this right. Even if I go to the emperor to ask for an imperial decree, I am afraid it will be difficult. I will go to someone. He should be able to help us."

Ye Ke became interested. Who else could do something that even the emperor could not do? "Who is so powerful?"

"The commander of the pro-military division, he is the highest officer of the guards' pro-military division, commanding the imperial army and responsible for the safety of the imperial city!" Zhu You explained.

Ye Ke asked a little worriedly: "This is hiding from the emperor. If he is found out, he is deceiving the emperor. He may not be willing to help you. Is he reliable?"

Zhu You's face became complicated, and he said awkwardly: "It's not very reliable."

Your uncle's.

　Guess everyone, who stole the body?
