The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 73 The Missing Woman ([-]st update)
Xiao Yi did not deny it and said: "Don't worry, the new county magistrate is a trustworthy person. Moreover, Anping County really needs a good assistant. You know Wu Zuo's ability."

It's not that he hasn't thought about cultivating Wu Wuzuo, but some people just can't stand up to the wall.

Last time, after Wu Wuzuo saw Xu Jing's autopsy with his own eyes, all the arrogance he felt disappeared in an instant, and he never said anything about asking Xu Jing for advice again.

Xu Jing couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi inquiringly, "Is this case a test for me?"

Test whether she can work for the yamen for a long time.

Xiao Yi was silent for a moment and said: "It's not a test. I know Madam Xu's abilities very well. However, the new county magistrate is too upright and is not someone he recognizes, so he may not be willing to use her.

Madam Xu is a woman. If she doesn't show off her abilities in front of him, even if I speak in person, it may not be useful. "

Then he added, "The facts of the case are coincidental. I originally planned to let Madam Xu conduct an autopsy in front of him, but I never expected that an unknown female corpse would be suddenly discovered outside the city this morning, because Since the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, the work of the county government cannot be carried out, so I wanted to trouble Mrs. Xu to make a trip."

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

An unknown female corpse generally refers to a female corpse that has nothing on its body that can indicate the identity of the deceased. What's more, if the corpse is too badly decomposed, even her appearance and age may not be determined.

Xiao Yi's words were very clear. He wanted to pave the way for her to continue to engage in autopsy investigations in Anping County in the future.

He came to see her so suddenly today because he was about to leave Anping County and didn't have much time to pave the way for her.

Xu Jing didn't hesitate for long before she nodded decisively and said, "Okay, I'll go with you right now!"

After saying that, he went in and explained the precautions to the Cheng brothers and sisters, telling them not to rush to a conclusion if they had complicated medical conditions that they were not sure about, and wait until she came back in the evening. Then he and Xiao Yi got up and sat over him. carriage.

Cheng Qingqing and Cheng Xianbai were left staring with big eyes, unable to react for a long time.

In the end, Cheng Qingqing spoke first, "Master Xiao...won't he fall in love with Sister Jing?"

This is not impossible!Sister Jing is so beautiful and so capable!She is a man and also likes Sister Jing!
"What nonsense!"

Cheng Xianbai rolled his eyes and said: "Of course Madam Xu is very good, but what is the identity of Xiao Shilang? He is a famous man who can speak in front of the Holy Emperor, not to mention that he is from the Xiao family, one of the four major families of Da Chu. He is his legitimate son. Such a person, even a noble princess or princess, can be chosen by him.

Even if he really falls in love with Madam Xu, it is very likely that Madam Xu can only be his concubine. My father often said during his lifetime that he would rather be a poor man's wife than a rich man's concubine. With Madam Xu's temperament, she would not be his concubine. He must be willing to be detained in the backyard of a deep house. "

When Cheng Qingqing heard this, she suddenly became a little angry, "Sister Jing doesn't want to be a concubine! Most men may not have Sister Jing's abilities! At most... At most, I will marry Sister Jing and live together with Sister Jing!" "

Cheng Xianbai: "..."

No, even if you fight for Mrs. Xu, you won’t scare her brother like this!
After Xu Jing got on the carriage, she asked about the case.

Xiao Yi said: "The deceased was found by a woodcutter on a mountain outside the city in the morning. When he was found, the deceased was naked and stuffed in a tree hole. If the woodcutter hadn't happened to be sitting on that tree while he was resting, You may not be able to find it next to a tree hole.

The deceased did not have any clothes or jewelry on her body, only an ordinary light apricot hairband remained on her head, and her body was highly deformed, forming the giant look you mentioned earlier, and she could no longer be seen. Her appearance in life has been changed, and even her age cannot be determined. The only thing that can be determined is that she is a woman. "

The situation was pretty much what she thought it would be.

Xu Jing then asked: "What was the cause of death of the deceased?"

Xiao Yi glanced at her, his expression seemed a little subtle, but his words were still calm: "Wu Wuzuo did an autopsy in the morning. Before death, the deceased... had been violated, and his lower body was bleeding profusely. There were also many wounds and bruises from being beaten on his body. , Wu Wu concluded that the deceased should have been beaten and violated to death."

Xu Jing couldn't help but frowned.

The cause of death was too rough to judge. Beating and assault could not be the direct cause of death. It can only be said that they may have caused massive bleeding or sudden lesions somewhere in the body of the deceased, leading to death.She suddenly understood more deeply why Xiao Yi said that Anping County also needed a good wife.

Xiao Yi continued: "The place where the deceased was found is also a bit tricky. There are three villages near the mountain forest where she was found. The total number of villagers in the three villages is nearly 500. Fortunately, these three villages are under the jurisdiction of Anping County Next, this morning, I asked someone to roughly count the number of women missing in these three villages in the past six months, and there were nearly 60 of them."

Xu Jing frowned even more tightly.

In ancient times, public security was not good, and human trafficking was common. Among them, women were high-value commodities, and they were even more fat in the eyes of human traffickers.

Some of these missing women are women who left home on their own due to various reasons, or women who encountered accidents while away from home and were unable to return home for a while, or women who were never able to return home.

In Sanjo Village, less than [-] women have disappeared in the past six months, which is considered a small number.

However, with so many missing women, it will be difficult to identify the deceased in the short term.

If the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, the case cannot be investigated. No wonder Xiao Yi made a special trip to invite her over.

Soon, the carriage drove into a mountain forest and finally stopped beside a mountain path.

Seeing how deserted the place was, Xu Jing guessed that she had to go further inside where the body was found. Just when she was worried about how to get there, Xiao Yi suddenly took a folding wheelchair from the carriage, unfolded it, and looked at her He said, "Can Madam Xu sit in by herself?"

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows.

She had been thinking about the case just now, but she didn't even notice the wheelchair.

She nodded and said, "Of course."

During this time, she always seemed surprised by this man's attentiveness.

Could it be that there is a little baby at home who needs to be taken care of?

After Xu Jing sat in the wheelchair, she was pushed forward by Chen Hu, who came with them.

Although the road in the forest is rugged, fortunately it is mostly flat ground. Xiao Yi's wheelchair is obviously not ordinary, so he can walk smoothly on such a road.

Soon, some figures appeared in front of them, most of them were county government servants, and there was also a handsome man wearing a light green official uniform who looked very young and fair. Xu Jing guessed that he was the new arrival from Anping County. Ordered.

But they were all gathered around a body lying on its back, discussing something in a low voice, with distressed expressions on their faces.

Hearing the noise, one of the guards turned around first. When he saw Xu Jing and Xiao Yi, he immediately said with joy: "Shilang Xiao is back! Madam Xu is here too!"

This servant was one of the servants who came back from Xinglin Hall. Xu Jing remembered that his name was Meng Anhe. He had a pleasant round face, and he was fair and clean. He looked like an honest man. .

It can be seen that Xiao Yi uses him quite seriously on weekdays.

Hearing this, the young man wearing a light green official robe also turned his head and looked over. When he saw Xu Jing sitting in a wheelchair and wearing a veil, he seemed very surprised, and his face darkened visibly.

Xiao Yi didn't seem to see the change in his expression. He pushed Xu Jing to the young man and said softly: "County Magistrate Deng, this is what I just told you. I specially invited the police officer to assist the county government in solving the case. ——Mrs. Xu.”

County Magistrate Deng seemed to be surprised, his fair face flushed red, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said: "Xiao, Xiao Shilang is making a fool of me, can't I be demoted?
This, this is obviously a woman, how, how could an autopsy be performed!Xiao Shilang, but, like others, looked down on the official, so he specially found a woman to humiliate the official! "
