Chapter 357

Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian also saw Xiao Ningxue, and greeted them with smiles from a distance.

"Xiaoxue Awen, why are you back? Didn't you go to Gaoyang City?"
After going to Gaoyang City for at least a month, Xiaoxue and Ah Wen came back in ten days, so they definitely didn't go to Gaoyang City.

"Well, I didn't go." Xiao Ningxue giggled, got off her horse, ""On the way, I learned that the matter was resolved, so I came back. "

She didn't disclose the fact that Sai Dongshi was hijacked by Zhang Xiucai. Dong Shi finally got rid of the previous nightmare experience, and there was no need to make it known to everyone, so Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian didn't know that she and Wu Chongwen Where did this trip go.

After several people greeted each other, Xiao Ningxue looked at the food boxes in Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian's hands.

"Cousin, where are you going?"
"Go and deliver lunch to Daddy and the others."

"Go that one." Xiao Ningxue giggled, and took Xiao Ruohan's arm affectionately.

Xiao Ruohan lightly tapped her forehead with her finger, "Why? Not tired yet? Why don't you go back and take a rest first?"

"I'm not tired, I haven't driven much." Xiao Ningxue squinted her almond eyes and laughed.

She was indeed not tired at all, and when she was tired, she would recover after taking a bath in the portable space, and she could also take the water out of it to bathe Wu Chongwen, so at this moment, it seemed that they were more energetic than Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian.

There is also something urgent to report to Xiao Wenzhao. Although the robbers Zhang Xiucai and Li Zhuang have not yet arrived, they have stored a lot of food and looted property in their bandit dens, so Xiao Wenzhao must send people there quickly deal with.

Right now, only one hidden guard is left guarding in the cottage, if someone finds out and loots it, it will be troublesome.

So he didn't even go home, so he went straight to the Sheriff's Mansion.

On the way, Xiao Ningxue saw Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian looking tired, with a forced smile, and her heart skipped a beat.

The two of them are straightforward and not good at intrigue and tricks. Could it be that after marrying into the grandson's family of the Li family, what will happen to them?
Three dynasties came back with two husbands and wives, how about Li Jing and Gongsun Yu?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly asked, "Sister Ruohan, Ruolian, why did you stay here for so long? Where are the two brothers-in-law?"

"There's not much going on here, we'll come back to help for a while, here~ they're working over there." Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian said, pointing to the sheriff's mansion from afar.

"Oh? And you know how to help the old father-in-law? Those two guys are not bad!" Xiao Ningxue smiled, and the big stone in her heart fell to the ground.

As long as Li Jing and Gongsun Yu are here, there will be no problem with their relationship.

But if this is the case, why are the two cousins ​​always a little unhappy?
Xiao Ningxue asked a few more questions round and round, but Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian didn't say anything, they just said that everything was fine and her husband's family treated them well, there was no problem at all.

Xiao Ningxue has been with the two of them for so long, but still can't see through their thoughts? She clearly has something on her mind but deliberately conceals it, for fear that her family members will worry.

It seems that if you want to know the real situation of the matter, you still have to find Li Jing and Gongsun Yu.

Xiao Ningxue didn't ask any more questions, and the few of them went to the Sheriff's Mansion together.

There seems to be no autumn in the west, and it is winter all at once, with slanting wind and drizzle, which makes people's bodies and faces icy cold.

However, the big guys at the Sheriff's Mansion are working in full swing, with 200 people busy there, trying their best to build the Sheriff's Mansion before the end of the year.

Because the prefect's mansion was not repaired, Xiao Wenzhao's office was temporarily set up in a small courtyard next to it. Gao Yao, Xiao Shan, and other government servants who had withdrawn from Ding'an County to the north now work here.

When Xiao Shan and Gao Tutou were in Ding'an County, they worked together for so many years on autopsy and case investigation, and now they are partners again here.

This work is dirty, tiring and disgusting. Xiao Wenzhao also felt sorry for his brother, but there was nothing he could do about it. There was a shortage of talents in this job, so when Xiao Shan proposed to continue working as a gangster, he did not refuse.

He just decided in private and accepted four apprentices for Xiao Shan, and when Xiao Shan brought these apprentices out of the teacher, he would be able to take care of himself for the rest of his life.

Xiao Ningxue and the others hadn't reached the county guard's mansion at this moment, when they met Xiao Shan and Gao Tutou hurried over.

With a big knife on his waist and a headhunting uniform with the word "catch" embroidered in red on his chest, Gao Catcher strode over, while Xiao Shan followed behind him carrying his decades-old autopsy box that was almost covered with pulp. .

Seeing their outfits, Xiao Ningxue had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Father, Uncle Gao~ Where are you going? What happened?"
Catcher Gao did not hide anything, and pointed to the gemstone lake, "Just now a few young fishing men came to report that a corpse was found in the lake, and we are planning to go and have a look."

After hearing this, Xiao Ruohan and Xiao Ruolian's expressions became a little ugly.

The water in Gemstone Lake is everyone's drinking water. If a corpse was found in it, wouldn't it be equivalent to the corpse water that everyone drank for a long time?
This is too disgusting!
They, who never pay attention to details, are holding their chests and feeling nauseous at this moment.

But Wu Chongwen almost collapsed, his face was surprisingly pale, and he managed to control himself so that he didn't vomit.He's a bit of a clean freak, and now he wished he could turn his stomach out and wash it.

Seeing this, Xiao Ningxue hurriedly leaned into Wu Chongwen's ear, "Don't worry, Ah Wen, the water in our water tank is all clean water from me, there is no problem."

These words made Wu Chongwen feel much better in an instant, and his churning stomach quickly calmed down.

He did see Xiaoxue pouring water into the water tank, and she would wash the vegetables washed out in the river again, probably to prevent the water in the gemstone lake from being unclean.

However, Gao Butou and Xiao Shan showed indifference, and Gao Butou smiled and said, "Harm~ this kind of thing is nothing unusual. Which river doesn't drown a few people? What can there be in such a big lake?" What? Boil the water and drink the fart.’
Xiao Shan also looked at everyone with a smile, "Isn't that the case? There's no need to be disgusted."

After speaking, she asked Xiao Ningxue and Wu Chongwen a few words with concern, asking why they came back so soon, Xiao Ningxue also said that the matter was settled, she didn't go to Gaoyang City, and turned back halfway.

After talking for a while, Catcher Gao and Xiao Shan planned to leave, at this moment Xiao Ningxue followed with a smile.

"Father, Uncle Gao, I'll take a look with you too." While talking, he looked back at Wu Chongwen, "Awen, don't you have something to do with your uncle? You go, I'll go to the lake to have a look."

Wu Chongwen knew how interested Xiao Ningxue was in investigating cases. This girl once told him that in her future world, she would be engaged in a job like headhunting, so he knew that she couldn't stop her. , she also went.

So Xiao Ningxue followed Gao Tuotou and Xiao Shan to live in Baoshi Lake.

It seems that the story of a corpse being 'fished' over Gemstone Lake has spread, and many people are scrambling to go there.

When Xiao Ningxue followed Xiao Shangao to capture the head, the rapeseed field by the lake was already three floors in and out, surrounded by people.

"Give way, let everyone move back." Catcher Gao called out the onlookers, took out the red cloth, and began to pull the cordon.And Xiao Ningxue followed Xiao Shan, walking towards the corpse covered in white cloth.

"Father, put on a mask." Xiao Ningxue handed Xiao Shan a medical mask. Ever since Xiao Shan was poisoned by the corpse, she paid special attention to these.

There are also various types of corpse poison. If he accidentally gets hit again, she may not be sure to cure him again.

Knowing his daughter's worry, Xiao Shan obediently put on the mask, and then covered it with a scarf, so that no one could see the uniqueness of the mask.

After putting on the mask and sheepskin gloves, Xiao Shan turned his head with concern, "Daughter, stay away, I'm going to start the autopsy." It's not a big deal for people to see the family of Snow Maiden's daughter who knows how to do autopsies good thing.

So his expression showed that Xiao Ningxue was not allowed to intervene.

Xiao Ningxue naturally understood the good intentions of her old father, so she didn't intend to disobey him, she stepped back a few steps obediently, her eyes were fixed on the corpse without blinking.

After seeing Xiao Ningxue retreat to a safe distance, Xiao Shan stretched out his hand and removed the white cloth from the corpse.

The moment Xiao Ningxue looked over, she felt that it was more appropriate to describe the deceased as 'skeleton'.

Yes, a skeleton, a white skeleton.

I don't know how long he's been dead, there's no flesh at all, only a few rags are hanging on his body.

After a quick glance, Xiao Ningxue concluded that the deceased was a male. A male's skeleton is wider, rougher and thicker than a female's. It's not difficult to tell.

The difficulty is that in this age without DMA, the identity of the deceased is not easy to identify.

Over there, Xiao Shan was already investigating the cause of death of the deceased.

While he was looking carefully at the skeleton, he was filling out the autopsy form. At this moment, Chief Detective Gao came over after setting up the cordon.

"What happened? How did he die? Is it a man or a woman?"

"The deceased was a male with sword marks on his ribs. He must have been killed by a sword." He said Xiao Shan and pointed to Catcher Gao, "Look at this rib? There is an obvious gap on the edge, which should have been pierced by a sharp sword.

"Can you tell if it's from the Central Plains or from a foreign race in the West?" Captain Gao asked while nodding.
"His eye sockets are relatively shallow, and he's not too tall, so he should be from the Central Plains." Xiao Shan said with certainty.

"People from the Central Plains~ I'm afraid it's hard to check their identity." Gao Butou frowned in distress.

People from the west would report someone missing, but people from the Central Plains may not. After all, life is so hard, how many people died of starvation and disease? Maybe they go out in the morning to look for food, and no one comes back at night. Who will report the case? Woolen cloth?
"It's really hard to check." Xiao Shan also had a helpless face, "Except for a few pieces of cloth, there is nothing on his body that can prove his identity." Gao catcher nodded, and asked again after a moment of silence.

"How long has it been dead? Can you tell?"

"The time of death cannot be determined. After all, there are big fish in the lake. Even if the time of falling into the lake is short, they may be eaten by the fish."

"That's right." Catcher Gao pursed his lips in agreement, and then said, "First transport the bones back to the temporary Yizhuang, and then slowly investigate the identity of the deceased."

"it is good."

The two were talking, and they were about to wrap the bones with a shroud, when Xiao Ningxue took a few steps forward.

"Father, Uncle Gao, can you let me have a look at this skeleton? Maybe I can find out his true identity."
