The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 44: The calmest expression says the most powerful words ([-]th update)
Xu Jing said softly: "Shilang Xiao, the provocation method is useless. The corpse inside has been left for half a month in this summer, and the corpse energy exuding from it is even scary to mice, let alone a weak woman like me."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Every time he heard this woman calling herself a weak woman, Xiao Yi had a rare and subtle feeling.

"We are all here, don't be in a hurry, let Chen Hu bring the things over and talk about it later.

What I care more about now is..."

Xu Jing pondered: "How did the murderer know when the deceased would be alone, and then follow him to kill him?

Just like in today's case, he clearly knew that the deceased who would have gone out to sell pork during the day was alone at home because he was unwell. He also clearly knew that Mrs. Cheng would pass by the deceased's house at that time every day.

That's why he was able to set up such a perfect game. "

Xiao Yimi raised her eyebrows slightly and said: "Ms. Xu is right, the murderer knew the deceased's whereabouts very well. He must have conducted a lot of investigations in the early stage, or had followed the deceased for a period of time.

The situation of the deceased in the case four days ago was similar. He was an old man from the Fang family in Anping County. He served as an official in the court when he was young, and reached the position of Suizhou governor. After leaving officialdom, he returned to Anping County.

According to his family members, he was very ill-tempered during this period. Four days ago, he was recuperating in the Fang family's village outside the city. He had some disputes with his eldest son who came to visit him and was alone. He ran out and disappeared. "

Xu Jing was slightly startled and said, "Isn't this the first time he ran out like this?"

"That's right," Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh, "His family said that he has been living in Zhuangzi for a while. Whenever a junior in the family visits him, he will most likely have a dispute with the junior.

Especially his eldest son, who is [-] years old and has not yet obtained an official position. Whenever the old man sees him, he will have a particularly bad temper and will quarrel nine times out of ten. "

Although he had been aware of it for a long time, Xiao Yi would still be amazed by this woman's sensitivity to the case from time to time.

"In this way, the murderer is very aware of the Fang family's affairs, and also clearly knows that the Fang family's eldest son will visit Mr. Fang that day."

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows and suddenly said meaningfully: "This kind of visit to the elders is usually only known to family members. The information about the murderer is not that well-informed."

This kind of thing cannot be known by following the deceased.

Xiao Yi nodded, "Yes, I later confirmed with the Fang family that the time when the Fang family's eldest son went to visit Mr. Fang was not fixed. In fact, because the father and son had a bad relationship, the Fang family's eldest son was very repulsive to him. Father, I don't want to visit Mr. Fang easily.

On that day, his wife said two days ago that Fang Dalang had not visited Mr. Fang for more than half a month. After some persuasion, he agreed to go there when he had two days to spare. "

Xu Jing immediately looked at Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi seemed to know what she wanted to ask and continued: "I have asked the Fang family if anyone knows about Fang Dalang going to visit Mr. Fang. Most of the people who know about this matter are only Fang." People in the family, because the discord between father and son is not a decent thing, the Fang family never talks about the matter between Fang Dalang and Mr. Fang outside.

However, many of the Fang family servants also knew about this matter. It is hard to say whether they spread the news outside or started chatting outside. "

What Xiao Yi means is that if the murderer is intentional, it is not completely impossible to find out the information.

Xu Jing said coldly: "Yes, everything depends on human effort. If a person is determined, there is nothing he can't do.

But what Mr. Xiao just said were private matters in the Fang family's mansion. Even if some servants talked about it outside, they couldn't say it completely. And if someone kept chasing the servants to ask these things, it was impossible for the servants to notice. Not right. "

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed slightly, "What does Madam Xu mean?"

"I think it is possible that the murderer could enter and exit the Fang family's residence at will. Moreover, he may have entered and exited the Fang family's residence more than once. This is why he unknowingly heard so many private matters of the Fang family without attracting the attention of the Fang family."

Xiao Yi frowned suddenly, "Ms. Xu is saying that the murderer may be a member of the Fang family?"

"No, among the dead, only Mr. Fang is related to the Fang family. I prefer people who can enter and leave the Fang family. For example, guests of the Fang family, businessmen, doctors, or various craftsmen and woodcutters who have business cooperation with the Fang family. pawn."

Xu Jing murmured.

However, the scope is not small, and it takes a lot of effort to check.

At this moment, Chen Hu came back excitedly with what Xu Jing wanted. What Xu Jing wanted was a copper basin, atractylodes, soap locust, a small basin of soap locust water, anti-aging gloves and a few clean towels. towel.

She first put atractylodes and saponaria into a copper basin and lit it. She asked Chen Hu to put the copper basin in the room and let it burn for a while. Then she tied a scarf around her face, covered her mouth and nose, and brought Put on gloves.Xiao Yi couldn't help but stare at Xu Jing. Some of the confusion that she had put aside when she decided to let the secret guards stop following her filled her heart bit by bit again.

Many authors will make similar preliminary preparations before performing an autopsy.

Looking at this woman's proficiency, no one would suspect that she had previously made a living by doing autopsies.

Seeing that Xu Jing was ready to go in, Xiao Yi withdrew his gaze, tied his mouth and nose with a towel, and followed in.

There were only three corpses placed in the small room. There were several wooden barrels placed around the room, filled with ice cubes, so it felt chilly as soon as you walked into the room.

Xiao Yi explained: "This is a serious case of the imperial court. In order to facilitate the investigation, a room was specially left empty to display the corpses related to the case, so only these three corpses were placed in this room.

From left to right are Mr. Lu who was killed half a month ago, Mr. Fang who was killed four days ago, and Zhu Dalang who was killed today. "

The corpses were all covered with white cloth. If Xiao Yi didn't explain, Xu Jing really wouldn't know who was who.

After listening to Xiao Yi's words, she immediately walked towards the corpse in the middle and said: "Zhu Dalang's corpse was half burned, and some of the features on it have been burned away.

Master Lu's body had been left there for so many days, so the decomposition must have been the worst.

The easiest thing to detect was the body of Mr. Fang. "

As she spoke, she raised her hand and neatly lifted off the white cloth covering it.

Chen Hu was immediately surprised and said: "Why...how did Mr. Fang's body become like this?!"

He was called over by Xiao Yi this time because he helped Xu Jing in the Peng Shi case last time.

As a county government official, he had seen many corpses, but he was not a professional assassin and was not familiar with the various changes in corpses.

He remembered that when Old Mrs. Fang's body was first brought back, it was still normal. But now... why it seemed to be swollen, especially in the chest and abdomen. It was as bulging as those of pregnant women. stand up!
The eyes are protruding, the lips seem to be enlarged and turned out, and the tongue... the tongue is sticking out!

The color of the skin also showed a faint green color, which looked indescribably disgusting.

Xu Jing said quietly: "The corpse has been left for four days in such a season, and it is very rare for it to be like this now."

The giant look of this corpse is not serious, probably thanks to the ice cubes that were so generously placed throughout the room.

As the Minister of Justice, Xiao Yi still knew that this was a normal change of the corpse. He couldn't help but look at Xu Jing deeply, "Mrs. Xu, do you know what this phenomenon is?"

"Giant View."

Xu Jing has always been an efficient person, and has begun to carefully examine every inch of the body, starting from the head of the corpse. "To put it simply, the organs in the body begin to decay after death, releasing a large amount of pollutants." Green putrid gases, when these gases fill the human body, it will naturally make the human body bulge like a ball.

The giant view of this corpse is still in its early stages. In severe cases, the skin may even burst. Well... it's almost like a ball being blown open. "

Chen Hu was stunned and didn't know what expression to use to express his inner feelings.

How did Lady Xu manage to say the most powerful words with the calmest expression?
He felt that he would probably not be able to look directly at the ball again!

Xiao Yi's eyes couldn't help but become darker.

However, he knew that even if he asked her where she knew these things, he would only get a reply: "Shilang Xiao needs to read more books."

Oh, if such a book really existed, how could the imperial court allow it to be lost among the people? It would have been copied into several copies as if it were a treasure, and distributed to various yamen!
At this time, Xu Jing had finished examining the deceased's head. She stood up straight, looked at Chen Hu and said very naturally: "Mr. Chen, please take off all the clothes of the deceased."
