Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Lantian County is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, and it is also under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi. It only takes a day to ride a horse.On the way, Li Quan briefly told Bai Sanxiu the general situation of the case.

About two months ago, many families in Lantian County and surrounding areas held funerals, and there were strange low-pitched chanting at the scene. It could be vaguely heard that it was a female voice, but no one had heard the words sung.Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, because the singing didn't cause any disaster.It's not a big deal to have one more country tale.

Until someone heard similar chants in the mass graves in the northern suburbs of the county.

In the outskirts of any large-scale town, there is almost a mass grave. Those who are buried in this place are either poor or widowed, or unclaimed sinners and thieves.Some of them were wrapped in a bundle of straw mats, and some of them were buried in shallow pits randomly dug, and there were wild animals feeding on them at night, just like in the open air.

Can mass graves be haunted by ghosts?
But Chen Chong, the county captain of Lantian County, is a wonderful person.He used to like to read the books about legends of gods and ghosts, and felt that the female ghost in the county who sang at funerals must have been wronged since she sang at the mass graves, so he ordered people to search carefully at the mass graves. See what's unusual.

It turned out he was found.

After the magistrate of Lantian County received the report, he reported it to Dali Temple, and because the incident happened supernaturally, he clearly pointed it to the Unspecified Secretary.

After hearing this, Bai Sanxiu smiled and said, "You are really going to be a ghost catcher."

Li Quan also smiled: "Follow me, is it fun?"

"Well, it's quite interesting."

Because the two were riding together, Li Guan hugged her from behind, so he didn't move, and directly kissed the top of her hair, which made Bai Sanxiu blush.

"Si Zhi!"

She really didn't expect that he would not shy away from officialdom in broad daylight.But it's not surprising when you think about it. Although Li Yan acts calmly and prudently, he is very straightforward with those who are close and trustworthy, and he is not a pedantic person bound by secular rules.So if he has a good impression, he will show it, and when he thinks about it, he will openly explain it to her.

That's fine, very much in her temper.

Looking back at the beginning of the acquaintance, at the night banquet in Huayuelou, his indifferent appearance, and comparing it to the man who squeezed her hand and hugged her every now and then, always made her feel a little bit funny, but also I feel more and more soft in my heart.

When the two arrived in Lantian, it was getting late, so Li Yan took her straight to the county.County captain Chen Chong immediately led him to see the skeletons in question found in the mass grave.

When Li Yan saw it in the morgue, Wu Zuo had already arranged the bones according to the human body structure in advance.This is a skeleton, or rather, only a part of it.This set of remains is not complete, only a few relatively large and hard parts, plus some scattered bones and joints.

After careful observation, Li Guan nodded lightly: "It is indeed a young woman."

Bai Sanxiu wondered, "How do you know?"

Li Quan pointed to the skull and patiently explained it to her.

"Look here. This skull is small and slender, with thin bone walls, inconspicuous browbones, and undeveloped external occipital prominence—this is the place where, if it were a man, there would be an obvious protrusion."

He pointed to the pelvis again, gestured with his fingers, and continued to explain: "The angle between the pubic arch is relatively large, and the shape of the entrance of the pelvis is approximately oval. In addition to the features of the ischia-pubic branch, it is relatively easy to distinguish between men and women. As for age, look at the teeth. The degree of wear and tear should not be very old."

Unexpectedly, Gu Gu still has so much knowledge, Bai Sanxiu looked at him with admiration, and his eyes sparkled.

Due to the presence of outsiders and the autopsy, Li Guan did not show any intimacy, but only gave her a gentle look, and then asked Chen Chong seriously: "What does the county captain think is strange?"

Chen Chong replied respectfully: "Lord Li must have noticed that there is a high possibility that this woman died of homicide. In addition, the most puzzling thing for the lower officials is the degree of corruption of this remains."
