The wife of the power minister's family

After the coffin was carried out, the expression on Mrs. Yu's face became extremely sad. Her plump and chapped lips kept trembling. She walked over slowly and said in a tearful voice: "Zhen'er, my Zhen'er." ah……"

She touched the coffin with trembling hands, as if caressing a young child. She stroked it very gently for a while, and then said with red eyes: "Open the coffin."

Everyone subconsciously took a big step back, but there were a few people who didn't even take a step back.

Everyone was a little stunned as they looked at Zhao Shaohua, Jiang Erlang, and the woman whom Mrs. Zhao called "Doctor Xu" who were standing steadily in front.

Are they all afraid?

That was a body that had been dead for more than half a year!
Because Zhao Shaohua had his back to the others, they did not see the shock on Zhao Shaohua's face after the coffin was opened.

Zhao Shaohua couldn't help but glare at Mrs. Yu, "This is... what is going on! Mrs. Yu, what did you do?!"

Mrs. Yu was looking at Xu Jing with slightly narrowed eyes.

The expressions of this woman and Jiang Erlang did not change at all when they saw Zhen'er's body.

Jiang Erlang can understand why this woman... is so calm?Who is she?

When everyone heard Zhao Shaohua's words, they knew that the situation was different. They suppressed their fear and stepped forward. Suddenly, their eyes widened.

But they saw the woman in the coffin wearing a white dress, with her hands clasped on her lower abdomen. The exposed skin was a strange dark brown color, and her skin looked a little shriveled, but her eyes were still slightly open.

Only between her eyebrows and eyes can you still vaguely see her delicate appearance in life.

The most bizarre thing is that the corners of her mouth are slightly raised in a very unnatural arc. If you look closely, you will see that there are bright red threads sewn on both sides of her mouth!The curvature of the corners of her mouth was forcibly fixed by silk threads!
However, ignoring these superficial phenomena, this is not the state of a corpse that has been dead for half a year!
After being dead for half a year, even if it could be sealed in a coffin to slow down the decomposition of the body, it shouldn't be like this!

Xu Jing pursed her lips tightly.

She had seen this kind of corpse before - it usually looked like a corpse that had been frozen for more than four months!

Many people fall into a misunderstanding, thinking that putting a body in a freezer will keep it fresh. In fact, this is not the case. Although the body will not rot under freezing conditions, it will dehydrate. What finally appears is Wang Wuniang's current appearance. appearance.

If you want to keep the body fresh, you can only soak it in formalin or place it in liquid nitrogen at about minus 150 degrees. This way it can be preserved for decades or even hundreds of years.

However, to a layman, the body was well preserved.

Mrs. Yu looked away at Xu Jing, raised her hand, gently touched the face of the woman in the coffin, and said hoarsely: "In the past six months, I have had someone build an ice coffin, and put Zhen'er in the ice coffin. Zhen'er's body was hidden in an ice cellar, and experienced workers were asked to prepare antiseptic potions and wipe her body every once in a while, so that Zhen'er's body could be preserved.

I also filled the side room with ice cubes just now. Later, I will have people carry Zhen'er back. If you want to see Zhen'er's body, you can go into the side room. "

If it weren't for the fact that the wing was not big and everyone here couldn't enter the wing at the same time, she wouldn't have carried her baby out.

Xu Jing carefully observed the female body in the coffin.

Wang Wuniang was 16 years old when she was killed, so the female body looked very young.

She remembered that Wang Wuniang was found three days after she disappeared. Xu Jing did not know the specific time of her death, but she thought it was the twelfth lunar month of winter when she was killed. Even if she was found three days after her death, the degree of decomposition of her body would not be the same. It would be very powerful. It is estimated that the corpse green color just appeared on the abdomen and has not had time to spread.

According to Mrs. Xu's preservation method, the organs in her body should not have completely decayed.

In other words, this corpse still has certain post-mortem value.After seeing that they had all seen Wang Wuniang's body, Mrs. Yu touched Wang Wuniang's face again, and then had Wang Wuniang's coffin carried back.

After that, Mrs. Yu seemed to be even more tired due to the excessive emotional ups and downs. She looked at the people in front of her who had not yet recovered from the shock and said, "I will send someone to get Zhenniang's diary in a moment." come over.

I will rest in the room next to the pool for a while. If you have any needs related to the investigation, you can send the maids or guards here to talk to me. "

After saying that, she asked the maid to support her and left slowly.

Everyone stared blankly at her figure disappearing into the corridor, and then they seemed to come to their senses, and they all exchanged looks in great panic.

If they had been lucky before and thought that Mrs. Yu could not really kill them all, after seeing Wang Wuniang's body, they no longer dared to underestimate Mrs. Yu's determination.

Feng Qilang had the ugliest expression among all the people. As soon as Mrs. Yu left, he collapsed and said, "Who killed Wang Wuniang! His grandmother, please come forward! Do you really want all of us to die with you?" !”

Chen Xi, who had a bad temper to begin with, was now irritable and spoke more irritably, "Everyone knows that Wang Wuniang was... defiled and then killed! In any case, the culprits cannot be us women. stop……"

"Who said that a woman can't do such a thing, but she can find someone to kill Zhenniang."

Guo Liuyun glared at Chen Xi, "You are the only one who has been bullying Zhenniang in Xijing City! Who knows if you have found someone to do such shady things in private..."

Chen Xi was startled and immediately blushed, saying: "Nonsense! Nonsense! I won't do such a thing! Besides, I'm not the only one in Xijing who can't stand that woman... Wang Wuniang!"

"However, since Shaohua and Zhenniang have become friends, others will not continue to bully Zhenniang for Shaohua's sake. At most, they will ignore and stay away from Zhenniang!"

Guo Liuyun bit his lower lip lightly, "Only you and Shen Zhiyi have been bullying Zhenniang tirelessly! It seems that they have a deep grudge against Zhenniang. Most of the noble ladies in the capital know about this!"

Everyone followed Guo Liuyun's words and looked at Chen Xi and Shen Zhiyi, with complicated and unspeakable expressions on their faces!
Chen Xi was so anxious that he couldn't say anything right, "I-I said I wouldn't have it if I didn't! And you, you really believed what Mrs. Yu said? People from Dali Temple and the Shangjing government office said that Wang Wuniang was Killed by the Smiling Killer!

It doesn't matter if Mrs. Yu goes crazy, why don't you go crazy with her? "

Zhao Shaohua was quite calm. He raised his hand to stop Guo Liuyun from continuing to argue with Chen Xi, and said: "The more times like this, the less we can mess up. I just had a chat with Jiang Erlang, and we both felt that Zhenniang was not being Killed by the Smiling Killer.”

As she said that, she looked at Jiang Erlang. Jiang Erlang lazily raised the corners of his mouth, seemingly unaffected by Mrs. Yu's words just now, and said, "Yes, although this smiling killer will use needle and thread every time he commits a crime. The victim's mouth was sewn into a strange upward arc, but in fact, there were differences within the government on the fact that Wang Wuniang was killed by the Smiling Killer.

Every time the Smiling Killer kills, in addition to sewing up the corners of the victim's mouth, he will also leave many scars on the victim, including but not limited to stick wounds, knife wounds, burns and beating wounds. Whenever the victim is discovered, the victim Except for his face, there is almost no intact skin on his body.

Although there were scars on Wang Wuniang's body, most of them were scratches or pinches, and there were no serious external injuries. This was completely inconsistent with the killing situation of the Smiling Killer.

What's more, the sewing conditions at the corners of Wang Wuniang's mouth were very rough and the needlework was messy. This was also different from the cases committed by the Smiling Killer. "

Four words immediately appeared in Xu Jing's mind -

copycat crime.

I'm afraid that the murderer committed the crime in the Model Smiling Killer, but he didn't know the specific details of the Smiling Killer's crime. He only heard a rough idea and that's why he imitated it so poorly.

Everyone was shocked and frightened. Guo Liuyun couldn't help but ask: "In that case, why didn't Dali Temple and the Xijing government office continue to investigate? They all seemed to have acquiesced that Zhenniang was killed by the Smiling Killer!"
