After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 24: Come to the door
"Surround this place! Question everyone before they can leave."

Wei Ling approached with a toolbox and glanced around coldly, her eyes falling on Yu Qiuping who furtively turned her eyes away.

Jade Governor glared at Yu Qiuping's master and servant angrily, and yelled at the little girl Honglai, "Why don't you take your young lady back?"

How unbecoming it is for a good lady to stand in front of a gambling house and watch what is right and wrong!

"Wait a minute." Wei Ling raised her hand to stop her and looked Yu Qiuping up and down, "When did Miss Yu arrive? Did you see anything just now?"

The girl Honglai couldn't help but become anxious, and stood in front of her young lady to defend herself, "My young lady just came out for a walk with nothing to do. As soon as she arrived in front of this gambling house, she heard someone shouting that she was dead. We didn't do anything. See! It’s just blocked here by the crowd.”

"Miss, are you taking a leisurely stroll to the gambling house?"

Yu Qiuping's face turned blue and white, she bit her lip and lowered her head in silence.

Wei Ling did not continue to be embarrassed, turned around and smiled at Governor Jade, "Master Governor, let's go in first to see the condition of the body, and let the brothers stay here to question everyone."

Jade Governor glared at his daughter angrily, turned around and called "Master Chen", and quickly followed Chen Buyu and Wei Ling into the gambling house gate.

The manager in charge came forward with sweat on his face and saluted repeatedly, "Sir."

"Whose body is it?"

The steward smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, sir. There are so many people coming and going here every day. I really don't know who this person is."

"Not to mention this man's face... Oh, my lord, please, you will know it after seeing it."

"The body was hidden under the table in the lobby. If someone hadn't had a fight and knocked over the table, the kids might not have discovered it until tomorrow."

As he spoke, he stopped and pointed forward with fear on his face, "Sir, it's right there. The little one just took a look and vomited. Adults, please be careful when you go there."

Jade Governor looked calm, "Did your belly get hollowed out?"

He saw three hollowed-out corpses in succession, which made him feel more courageous.

I thought it would be okay to take another look at the fourth corpse, but I overestimated my ability to bear it.

After a while, Governor Jade rushed out the door, holding on to the door frame and vomiting repeatedly.

Wei Ling took sesame oil and smeared it on her nose, put on a pair of silver gauntlets, and squatted next to the corpse to examine it. "Based on the complexion and stiffness of the corpse, it is estimated that the time of death should be more than six hours."

Several officials from the governor's office standing behind Wei Ling looked at Wei Ling who was examining the body with respectful expressions.

The corpses were all in such a state of disintegration, but the female officer's expression remained unchanged. The grown men like them were still trying their best to hold back the feeling of vomiting.

I really admire the calmness and composure of the female officer in front of me.

"The abdomen was cut open, just like the first three corpses, and the heart, liver and organs were removed."

"The deceased's face was smashed. Judging from the body marks, the murderer should have been holding two machetes and repeatedly chopped the deceased's face."

"There were no obvious injuries to the neck."

Wei Ling lifted up the arms and legs of the corpse and inspected them one by one: "Both the hands and feet were broken. Judging from the degree of force, someone should have hung them up and pulled the hands and feet in the opposite direction, causing the fractures."

Jade Governor walked over slowly, not daring to approach from a distance.

Hearing this, he quickly raised his voice and asked, "Master Wei, then, were this corpse and the three corpses in front of them killed by the same person? Is it a demon?"

Wei Ling stood up and said, "The specific situation needs to be taken back for reexamination. But this kind of repeated smashing of the deceased's face, in my opinion, is a bit like concealing the true identity of the deceased. Demons usually kill people in a straightforward manner. It won’t be so circuitous.”

Jade Governor's eyes lit up, "So Mr. Wei feels that this is a man-made serial murder case." Chen Buyu walked up to the two of them, "First carry the body back and then examine it. It's just that the face of the body was broken into pieces. In this case, how to identify the deceased?"

Wei Ling also frowned, "It's really not easy to tell. If my master were here, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to completely restore the appearance of the deceased in a short period of time."

"What's so difficult about this? There is a master of bone touching in the governor's family. I might be able to help you if you can't figure out any kind of bones." Mu Feng walked in the door and opened his mouth.

As soon as he walked to the corpse and glanced at it, he immediately changed his face and felt nauseated.

Changqing, the guard with an expressionless face, took out a jade bucket from behind and asked his young master to hold it and squat aside to vomit.

He just knows, he just knows, he just knows, he likes to join in the excitement, and this is the result.

"I've met the Crown Prince." Everyone saluted in unison.

Mu Zhao waved his hand, "Just do things without being formal."

"The second batch of relief food has arrived. The prince and I were preparing to take people to the city gate to count the food. When we passed by, we realized that something had happened again." Lu Qian glanced at the corpse and thought for a moment, "What Xiaofeng said just now That’s right.”

"Jade Governor, Miss Linlang is very good at bone examination. Maybe she can help us."

"The murderer deliberately smashed the deceased's face into pieces in order to confuse the public and make the investigators lose their direction."

"If we can restore the appearance of the deceased, we can collect more clues."

"Sir." Chen Buyu's guards came over in a hurry and handed over a big red scarf, "This thing fell not far from the body. The steward said it didn't belong to Changle Gambling House."

Wei Ling took it and looked at it, then stepped forward and sniffed it, "The material is not that good, but it is made of satin. This thing looks like a wrapping cloth wrapped in a baby's swaddling clothes."

Everyone looked at each other, confused for a moment.

When the body was covered with a cloth and carried out, Yu Qiuping felt unlucky and stepped back several steps while holding Hong Lai's hand.

Jade Governor accompanied Mu Shizi and Mr. Lu out. When he saw that his eldest daughter had just been interrogated by the guards of the Demon Suppression Department, he glared at her and told her to go home quickly.

Yu Qiuping held the handkerchief tightly and watched Mu Shizi and others leave.

She walked out of the crowd depressed.

Honglai followed his girl with envy in his eyes and murmured, "Oh, the second young lady is really lucky. She has a wife to help her arrange her marriage. If the marriage of the Lu family in the capital is decided, the second young lady's status will rise again."

Yu Qiuping pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.

I feel happy when I go out, but I feel sad when I come home.

Yu Qiuping was worried, thinking that her father would scold him if he turned around, and her face tensed up.

There was a corpse covered with white cloth in front of the governor's house, surrounded by a noisy crowd.

When Yu Qiuping came over, she happened to hear someone shouting and scolding outside, "Let Yu Linlang from your governor's office come out!"

Two powerful women knocked on the door and pushed the boy guarding the door hard, "Let someone come out quickly!"

Yu Qiuping's eyes suddenly lit up.

Yu Linlang, a country girl from the countryside, has been called in to cause trouble. The master and his wife have no time to care about whether she goes out for a stroll. Yu Linlang must be dealt with first.

This happened just right!
