Pretending to be jealous in the arms of Dali Temple

Chapter 88 I Don't Want To See The Corpse
Liu Ya exclaimed, and Su Jizhi walked to the river bed.

Wan Yan looked over and saw Qingshuijian Waterfall pouring down from the mountain stream and flowing downstream along the river.

On both sides of the dried-up river, the whitened pebbles glistened under the sunlight.

There are waterfalls flowing in the middle channel, and the channel becomes narrower as you go further.

There was a man lying on the river near them.

Su Jizhi turned around with a serious expression, "Second Master Yang, let's go and have a look, Wan Yan, you and Mrs. Yang are waiting here."

After speaking, he and Mr. Yang ran down the slope to the river.

Liu Ya grabbed Wan Yan's hand and was about to cry, "What's going on? Why is there someone there?"

Wan Yan was also nervous, and still comforted Liu Ya, "It's okay, my lord, go over and have a look, maybe someone who was picking fruit on the mountain accidentally fell down the mountain."

"But why do I feel like a woman with blood on my body?"

Wan Yan also saw a large dark red area faintly on the river.

Thinking of Wei Zhengwu and Qian Xier's crime scene, Wan Yan's heart sank.

My lord and Mr. Yang walked not far from that person. Seeing Mr. Yang not leaving, Wan Yan bent down and walked back, covering his mouth with one hand, as if vomiting.

Liu Ya yelled worriedly, "Second Master, Second Master, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Wan Yan became even more nervous, staring at Su Jizhi intently.

He was okay, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve with one hand, squatting down a few steps away from the man.

After a while, he stood up and looked around, with a gloomy expression on his face.

My lord and Mr. Yang returned, Wan Yan and Liu Ya went up to meet them.

"My lord!" Wan Yan noticed that Su Jizhi's expression was not good.

"Wan Yan, there is a murder case, Second Master Yang, please take Mrs. Yang back first, and go to the government office to call for someone. Wan Yan and I are waiting here. Thanks for your hard work."

"It's all right." Liu Ya gently wiped Young Master Yang's mouth with a handkerchief.

Mr. Yang breathed out embarrassingly, "Master Su, it will take some time to go back and forth to the government office, why are you waiting here like this?"

"It's okay, you take the water route. I looked at the location and found that this mountain is the official road between Tongshan Mansion and the capital. You tell the yamen servants to take the land route."

Mr. Yang didn't refuse anymore, and quickly disappeared into the mountain road with Liu Ya.

Wan Yan looked at Su Jizhi.

The lord has beads of sweat on his forehead and looks very bad.

She took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and asked worriedly, "Is that person dead?"

Thinking that this was the first time she and the adults traveled alone, but it was the third time she encountered a murder case, Wan Yan's heart was filled with disappointment.

"Yes, and it's been a while since he died. The body is severely decomposed. It hasn't rained in Tongshan Mansion in the past half month, so it's hard to identify."

"Is it a woman?"

Su Jizhi nodded.

Wan Yan's heart sank, and the lord wiped her forehead again with her hand, "Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, there's an adult here." Wan Yan said she wasn't afraid, but she pulled on the adult's sleeve, her voice trembling with sadness, "My lord, this is the first time we've traveled together."

The little girl's eyes were full of disappointment, and she twisted her handkerchief, looking in a terrible mood.

Su Ji realized later that he also had regrets, and he also had a trace of heaviness in discovering the murder.

Squeezing her little nose, Su Jizhi comforted the little girl, "I am the governor of Tongshan Prefecture, and I deal with these matters every day. Even if we are in the government office right now and someone reports the crime, I will still come."

"That's different."

Su Jizhi smiled, raised his arms, and put most of his sleeves into Wanyan's hands, "It is enough to have you by my side, no matter what we need to face, we are destined to be different."

Wan Yan smiled through tears, "It's different, this is the third dead person I saw."

The lord looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply, "Wanyan, Qingshuijian rarely comes, we were able to come, and we found a corpse..."

"Maybe the dead are complaining to us. What are they complaining about?"

Su Jizhi was stunned, thinking about Wan Yan's words.

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"It will take some time for Wu Zuo and the police to come, now you follow me, let's go and see."

Wan Yan wanted to refuse in her heart, but also felt that since she found the body, she should do something.

The adult walked in front, holding a branch that had just been cut in his hand, stepping on the cobblestones with white black boots, solemn and solemn.

Wan Yan followed behind him, her embroidered shoes had thin soles, and she groaned from time to time.

Walking down the gentle slope, entering the river, occasionally stepping on the air, the cobblestones swaying, revealing hard edges and corners.

As she approached the corpse, Wan Yan smelled a pungent rancid smell, and the buzzing of flies was in her ears.

Wan Yan didn't leave, she grabbed the adult's sleeve and covered her mouth and nose.

The body was face down, lying on the river, wearing a light pink dress from a distance, with ankles exposed.

Flies and maggots swarmed over the exposed parts of the body.

"My lord, I don't want to read it."

Wan Yan resisted with all her heart, Su Jizhi looked back at Xu Po, nodded hesitantly, "You wait here for me."

"My lord, why don't you wait and wait for the assistant and the police to come over before making any plans."

"You have to watch it sooner or later, just wait here."

Said, Su Jizhi waved the branch in his hand and walked to the corpse.

After waving several times, swarms of flies flew away and gathered again. Wan Yan saw the adult use a branch to pick up the pink dress.

Seeing this, Wan Yan was taken aback, the woman had no clothes on, and from a distance she was only wearing a dress covering her body, the white corpse irritated Wan Yan's sight.

She turned around, not daring to look any further.

The sun shone down from overhead, and the river was sultry.

There was a stench in the air, which made people sick.

Wan Yan couldn't bear the smell, so she waved at the lord.

Back in the woods, Wan Yan panted heavily.

"My lord, I won't go any more."

The adult looked at the little girl pityingly, "It's hard for you, I thought maybe you could smell some special smell to give me a direction, but I forgot, this weather only smells of rotting corpses."

Wan Yan shook her head understandingly: "I wanted to help my lord, but I didn't expect that I couldn't stand it at all. Did your lord find out?"

Wan Yan didn't want to hinder the adults from solving the case because of herself, but she really couldn't hold on to this scene.

"Before she died, she was severely beaten, with numerous wounds on her body, her hair was loosely covered by her bun, and I couldn't see her face clearly."

"How did she die here?"

"There are sporadic bloodstains along the road, which have dried up. She may not have died here, but was thrown here."

"But it's so quiet here, how did the murderer throw the body?"

Wan Yan thought that they were walking by water, and it took almost a stick of incense to reach the gentle slope after landing.

The deceased seemed to be quite tall. If the corpse was dumped here, would it be possible for the murderer to walk such a long distance with the corpse on his back?
As if guessing what she was thinking, Su Jizhi said: "We came here by water, but we can also come by land. There is an official road not far from here. It may not be as difficult as we thought for the murderer to throw his body here."

"How did this man die?"

"It's hard to say now."

A bird flew by in the woods, startling a flock of sparrows to fly south.

Both are in a bad mood.

The shadows of the undulating trees in layers reveal desolation and misery.

It seems that the dead are really telling their grievances.

"My lord?" Wan Yan frowned when she saw Su Jizhi staring at the opposite river.

"I'll go over and check to see if my guess is correct, whether the body was thrown from the opposite mountain."

Wan Yan looked up at the blue sky, then at the corpse in the river, and sighed deeply.
