Brocade clothing

Chapter 65
While going downstairs, Chu Qing said indifferently: "Buying a shovel is of course digging things."

"Master Chu, what do you want to plan?" While sitting in the inn lobby on the first floor having breakfast, Yu Zufeng remembered that he forgot to ask, and he ordered the secret guard to buy it, and he estimated that they would get it back after eating.

Chu Qing stirred the porridge with a spoon, and said casually, "Pull the corpse."

"Pfft!" Yu Banfeng almost spat out a mouthful of porridge. Luckily, he reacted quickly enough and turned his head, but a young man on the opposite side got caught, and stood up angrily, "What are you doing?"

"Sorry, sorry, I was not careful." Yu Kufeng hurriedly took out a piece of silver: "This is to compensate you for your clothes, sorry."

When the young master saw the silver, his angry expression immediately changed. He barely wiped his face and pulled the corner of his mouth: "Forget it, my lord has a lot." After finishing speaking, he sat back, stuffed the silver into his arms, and continued We have eaten.

Chu Qing witnessed the whole process: I wouldn't tease him if I knew it earlier, how nice it would be to give her the money.

"Young Master Chu, were you joking just now?" Yu Zhufeng poked his head over and lowered his voice. Although they came here to search for the hidden corpse, they haven't found it yet. Why are they digging now?Who is it?

But Li Tianxiao understood: "You want to see Master Ge's body?"

Chu Qing hummed: "Brother Li is still smart."

Li Tianxiao pursed his thin lips, although it was very slight, but the corners of his mouth were obviously turned up, Yu Zhufeng saw it, and wanted to refute that he was also very smart, think how he can compare with the emperor?Quickly asked: "Mr. Chu, it's been 18 years, even if the corpses have turned into bones, what do you think? Besides, I heard that after more than 100 people were killed, they burned the corpses directly. I don't know who is who, but in the end they all found a pit together and buried them, how do you know which one belongs to Mr. Ge?"

Chu smiled lightly: "No matter what the body is like now, as long as it is not burned to ashes, it will leave traces." As long as traces are left, even if they are clues, if you investigate, there may be unexpected gains.

After Chu Qing and the others had breakfast, they also bought the shovel. Before going to the cemetery, Chu Qing went to the coffin shop and the pharmacy. What was it, Li Tianxiao reached out to take it, but was rejected by Chu Qing: "It's not something heavy, don't bother Brother Li." They rented a carriage and drove to the cemetery. The more than 100 members of the Ge family, Because the weather was hot at that time and there were many corpses, but they were buried together after three days of mortuary, and the place of burial was not a remote place, it was the place where the government usually handles unowned corpses.

Chu Qing had already asked Director Ge for the exact location before, so when they arrived, they didn't delay for long, probably because most of the corpses buried here were unowned, so there were not many people who came to pay homage. Almost all of them covered the graves.

Chu Qing walked to the only place where there was an inscription, looked at the tomb that was estimated to be the largest in the cemetery, and sighed, but lowered her head, her eyes fell on the offerings in front of the stele and the unburned sandalwood, and frowned.

"Huh? Didn't you say that Steward Ge is the only one left in the Ge family? Why are there still people coming to pay respects?" Yu Kuifeng asked suspiciously, "Could it be Steward Ge?"

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "It's not Steward Ge. I asked him yesterday. Butler Ge doesn't come here every year until it's almost dark. Today is the day when the tragedy happened 18 years ago. It may also be the servants of the Ge family who died in vain. My relatives may not know."

"That's right. After all, so many people died at that time. There is no one in the Ge family, but there are still servants and servants inside. It is really possible. Mr. Chu, shall we start digging now?" But what should we do after we dig it out? ?
"Wait a minute." Chu Qing first took out the offerings, sandalwood, and a pot of wine from the bag, and worshiped first: "This time I was disturbed, it is really helpless, I just want to give you justice, and I won't be in the wrong Unjust dead ghost, I hope you will forgive me." Chu Qing bowed three times, poured three more glasses of wine, and then stepped back: "Let's start, be careful, don't break your bones."

Yu Kuifeng said: "Young Master Chu, please be good. It's absolutely fine." The dark guards also came to help, a total of seven or eight people, and they moved very quickly. In less than an hour, more than ten corpses were cleared out, but the more they dug , everyone fell silent, and when the corpses of a few children were brought out, even the dark guards, who were used to seeing life and death, couldn't help their eyes turning red, and hated the person who did it even more, feeling that it was too much. Excessive inhumanity!
Chu Qing was also silent all the time. After carrying out each corpse, she took out a small brush and gently brushed off the dust on it.

After waiting for almost twenty corpses to be brought out, Chu Qing finally said, "Stop."

"That's all right?" Yu Banfeng wiped his face, not even aware of the dirt on his face, everyone's mood was depressed.

Chu Qing nodded: "This is enough."

She placed the twenty corpses separately, including children, women, and men.

After she was ready, she looked at the dead bodies and began to take out the autopsy sheet for Yu Bafeng to record.

She put on gloves, took a slice of ginger in her mouth, took a deep breath, took out a large bottle, and suddenly began to sprinkle on the corpses one by one.

But in an instant, a jaw-dropping scene appeared!

Yu Gufeng didn't know what Chu Qing was going to do at first, but after the liquid was spilled, he saw different degrees of dark colors suddenly appeared on the originally yellow and white bones, which made everyone gasp, thinking that A corpse change happened, and all the hidden guards took a step back in fright.

Seeing that they were all stunned, Chu Qing tried to maintain a calm look, and explained: "These things are jealous, and the injuries that the deceased suffered before death can be revealed. It is not ghosts and gods."

Only then did Yu Kuifeng and the others relax their tense spirits, they were really scared to death just now.

No wonder Mr. Chu wanted to come during the day. If it were night, it would really scare people to death.

Chu Qing waited for those traces to appear, and began to examine the remains.

Li Tianxiao, who had been silent all the time, looked at Chu Qing's figure with complicated emotions in his eyes, but finally suppressed them slowly, and finally turned into appreciation.He really was right.

"The first one: the deceased, female, five feet three inches in length. The head was severely hit before and after death, and there was a wound about three inches long on the calf bone of the right leg, which was suspected to have been injured by a long knife. The fatal injury was in the neck , with a broken neck, wounded by the same long knife."

"The second one: the deceased, female, five feet one inch in length. Before death, the neck bone was broken and she was killed with a knife."

"..."

"Sixth body: the deceased, male, seven feet one inch in length, was beaten in many places before death, with bruises on the back, arms, and legs, three broken ribs, the fatal injury is still in the neck, and the neck bone is broken."

"The seventh..."

"..."

Chu Qing carefully inspected all the twenty corpses. She was covered in sweat as if she had been fished out of the water. She walked over and bowed to these corpses a few more times.Yu Gufeng, including Li Tianxiao and others, also bowed.

Yu Gufeng looked at Li Tianxiao and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

When they went back again, it was already past noon. Before Chu Qing left, her eyes fell on the offerings again, her eyebrows twisted, but she took a piece of each of these offerings, put them in a package, and took them away .

Yu Banfeng wiped his face and was dumbfounded: "Mr. Chu, what are you doing?"

"It's nothing, it's useful." Chu Qing didn't know if her guess was right or not, and she still had to ask Manager Ge for confirmation. If she was suspicious, then that's all.

On the return carriage.

Seeing that Chu Qing had been studying the autopsy list, Li Tianxiao took out a plate of snacks from the hidden compartment, and said, "Eat something to fill your stomach first. It's already half an hour past noon. You've been busy all morning, so you should be hungry."

Yu Kuifeng was stunned at the side: Master would take the initiative to care about people?

Grandpa is not stimulated?
But when Grandpa said this, he was a little hungry, but the snack was prepared for Grandpa, and Grandpa didn't eat it himself, so how dare he eat it?

Chu Qing was really hungry, and after eating a piece, he asked them to eat too, and then continued to read the autopsy list, analyzing the commonalities of the more than 20 corpses.

Li Tianxiao asked Yu Kuifeng to take a piece, took it back, put it in Chu Qing's hand, and sat next to her: "But what did you find out?"

Chu Qing said: "Judging from the knife wounds on the twenty corpses, there were three people who came to destroy the door that night. One is good at using a hammer, as can be seen from the broken skull; the other is good at wielding a long knife. , the blade is about one foot three inches, and there is a butterfly-shaped pattern on the handle, which is revealed on two of the corpses. It should be hit by the handle when doing it, leaving bruises; A sword with a slender blade and a thin blade, likes to kill with one strike, and most of them are killed by him with a supplementary knife; at present, we can only confirm these."

"It's not easy already, but what about going back to the inn?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"No, go to Steward Ge, I want to ask him something."

The broken courtyard where Steward Ge lived.

An hour later, Chu Qing and the others arrived at the broken courtyard. As soon as they stepped in, they saw Ge Shitou crouching in a corner, weaving baskets tremblingly. The basket weaving in my hand blocked above my head: "Don't hit me! I'm very good today! I've been helping Dad weave baskets! No more gambling! Really no more!"

Yu Banfeng snorted: "Did I say I hit you? Are you guilty?"

"No, no! Really not!" Ge Shitou was terrified. Steward Ge came out when he heard the movement, saw Chu Qing and the others, and said gratefully: "Thank you guys, if it weren't for you Shitou would not have known how to get involved. When?"

"It's okay, we're here this time to ask Steward Ge something about you." Chu Qing said.

"What do you want to ask, my lord? As long as I know it, I will know everything." Steward Ge wiped his face and said sincerely.
