Phoenix Nine Heavens

"Yes!" Hearing Su Xuan's order, Little Mirror naturally didn't dare to delay, immediately followed Su Xuan with a pen and paper, and came to the horse lying on the ground.

Lu Feng and the others immediately surrounded the scene to prevent anyone from disturbing the scene. Although there were no people here, their professional habits made them do these things instinctively.

The head of the family and the third master naturally did not dare to neglect, for Su Xuan's safety, another layer of encirclement was arranged around Lu Feng and the others to ensure Su Xuan's absolute safety.

With the protection of these people, Su Xuan can do things without any worries, so Su Xuan immediately came to the corpse that fell on the ground together with the horse.

The whole corpse is curled up, which may be related to the time when the horse walked all the way and was hung on the horse's back, otherwise it would not be possible to lie on the ground in this posture.

Su Xuan carefully checked the head of the deceased and found that there was no injury on the head, but there were blood stains on the eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

The deceased had been dead for a long time, but the blood flowing out of the seven orifices was fresh, but the blood was different from the usual blood, it seemed to be thinner and not as dark in color.

A piece of wood remained on the chest of the deceased. This piece of wood crossed the chest and passed through the chest. The strange thing is that this piece of wood has no cutting edge, and both ends are flat saws.

"Miss, how did he die?" Little Mirror looked at everything in front of her, with many doubts in her heart, but she couldn't find any cause of death, so she was very curious about what happened to this corpse.

"The deceased was a male, about 40 years old. He was dressed luxuriously and brightly. He did not look like an ordinary person. He should have been an official. It's not the stump, if the deduction is correct, the murderer should have killed the deceased first, then dug out such a wound, and put the stump into the circular wound." Su Xuan simply explained all her findings come out.

"Since you killed the deceased, why do you want to make such a wound across the pier? Isn't it superfluous?" Little Mirror couldn't figure it out. , and why do these things after the death of the deceased?Doesn't the murderer bother him?

"When the deceased appeared here, he was carried by a horse. At that time, the corpse was almost hanging on the horse's back. I don't know how long it has been hanging. From the surface, the death time of the deceased should be three days ago. , because corpse spots have appeared on the body of the deceased, but what is strange is that the seven orifices of the deceased are still bleeding, so strange!" Su Xuan continued.

Right now, she hasn't found the exact time of death of the deceased, so further verification is needed.

"My lord, could this be some kind of sacrificial ceremony?" Hearing this, Lu Feng immediately said to Su Xuan, as if he had thought of something, that's why he said such words to Su Xuan at this time .

"This possibility is very high, but now that the imperial court's decree is in place, such things as life sacrifices have long been clearly prohibited, let alone sacrifices of living people!" Su Xuan immediately said to Lu Feng.

Although this possibility is relatively high, she believes that under the strict control of the laws of the Great Zhou, there should be no such thing as a sacrifice of a living person, so she said such a thing.

"We don't know the identity of the deceased, and we don't know why the deceased was killed, and this is a place where there is no village, no store, and even the body of this body does not know where it came from. How should we Check?" Lu Feng knew that Su Xuan couldn't ignore the murder case, so at this moment, he didn't say anything else, but he was worried that there was nowhere to start this case.

"It has been raining here for the past few days, and the road is still a little slippery. Since the corpse came here with the horse, we can search for it by following the horse's hoof prints. Maybe we can find clues along the way." Su Xuan said immediately .

She felt that the only breakthrough in this case was the horse, and she just hoped that the horseshoe prints left along the way could give them a direction and find some clues.

"Understood, this subordinate will follow the instructions of the adults and investigate at the front!" Lu Feng immediately understood what Su Xuan meant, and immediately said to Su Xuan.

After saying this, he led the four major policemen to act together, looking for the horseshoe prints left by the horses to find the past, hoping to find some clues at the first time, so as to facilitate the detection of this case.

"Third Lord, tell the brothers to take this corpse into our accompanying carriage and continue walking towards the front!" Su Xuan saw that Lu Feng and the others had already moved, so she immediately said to the third master beside her.

She asked the guards to put away the body, and when there were clues, it could be regarded as leaving a piece of evidence so that they could continue to investigate.

"Yes!" The third master didn't hesitate, and immediately called the two guard soldiers to put the corpse away, and then called the team to follow Su Xuan and the others, and go on the road together, heading towards the direction the horse came from.

Although it is said that it is raining here, the road is slippery enough to leave horseshoe prints, which is convenient for Su Xuan and the others to follow along the way, but this is an official road, and there are countless horses and horses passing by here. Finding the mark of the horse in the footprints is simply looking for a needle in a haystack.

This made Lu Feng and the others who were in charge of the search at the front line into a difficult situation. They looked at each other as if they didn't know what to do, and then turned back to Su Xuan's horse team.

"My lord, this is the official road. There are many traces of carriages and horses in the front, and we couldn't find the hoofprints of that horse." Lu Feng immediately reported the difficulty to Su Xuan.

You must know that they are all ordinary people, and it is impossible to know that there are more ways to verify this, so they can only report this situation to Su Xuan first.

"This is the same thing!" Hearing Lu Feng's report, Su Xuan immediately raised the curtain, poked her head out of the carriage to look at Lu Feng and said, it seemed that she also knew the difficulties involved, so she didn't blame Lu Feng and the others for handling the matter Weak.

"Miss, the horse and the corpse have been on the road for so long, and I don't believe that no one found or saw it along the way. Why don't we ask the surrounding villages to see if they find anything unusual!" Little Mirror immediately said. , as if the answer was right in front of her eyes, it depends on whether Su Xuan is willing to accept her opinion.

"The little mirror is fine, you know how to use your brain!" Su Xuan immediately patted the small mirror's shoulder excitedly when she heard this, and then praised the little mirror.
