Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 140
Li Canghai used tweezers to push away a lump of minced meat, and suddenly a strong rancid smell came out, which made him almost breathless.

The butler was standing about Zhang Xu behind him, and suddenly smelled the rancid smell, and he threw up on the spot.

Li Canghai hurriedly pinched his nose and ran to the ventilated place, took a few quick breaths of clean air, while the housekeeper vomited bile, yelled loudly, and jumped into the pond as if going crazy, gurgling wildly Drank a few sips of pool water.

"Damn, it stinks so badly that my tears are coming out. No, I have to find a way." Li Canghai took a few deep breaths of air and began to flip through the relevant information in his mind.

After a while, it really reminded him of an ancient method.

He thought for a while, and then asked someone to prepare some saponins, atractylodes and other things.

It has to be said that the servants of the Wang family are still very efficient in handling affairs. It only took half a cup of tea to prepare everything.

Li Canghai first smeared sesame oil on his nose, then put a piece of ginger in his mouth, then walked to the side of the paved paper, and set the saponins and herb on fire.

The smoke emitted by the burning saponins can absorb the rancidity in the air, while the herb emits a delicate fragrance, which can be used for disinfection.

In addition, there is ginger in the mouth, so there is no need to worry about the bad smell.

After making all the preparations, Li Canghai squatted down and carefully fiddled with the pieces of meat with tweezers.

Judging from the rancid smell, these meats should have been rotting for a long time, so the question is, what kind of meat are these meats?

The Wang family is a big family, and they would never feed their dogs carrion. Where did these dogs get the carrion?

Just as he was thinking, he fiddled with the tweezers of the minced meat, and suddenly came across a slightly hard object, he hurriedly pushed the piece of meat away, and picked out a half-inch-long, thin thing like a cicada's wing from it.

Li Canghai saw it at first sight, it was the deck of a human nail!

Dead flesh!
This was Li Canghai's surprise. He never expected that these dogs actually ate the carrion of dead people!
Moreover, it still contains highly poisonous carrion from the dead.

Li Canghai's expression became serious in an instant, he stood up hastily, and looked around.

These dogs will not run to the back garden for no reason, and the ditches all died of poisoning after eating carrion, which means that the source of the corpse must be in the back garden.

He walked to those flower beds and searched carefully.

After a while, I found a few dog paw marks and traces of dog planing in a flower garden in the background.

"Come on, find some hoes and dig up this flower garden!" Li Canghai ordered in a deep voice.

The housekeeper was pulled up from the pond at this time, and he was vomiting in the dark, when he heard that Li Canghai was going to dig the flower garden, he jumped up immediately: "No, you have to ask the master about digging the flower garden, otherwise the master will definitely Will be furious!"

"Let me tell you the truth, the real cause of death of these dogs is under this flower garden. They all died after eating poisonous carrion, and the carrion was buried in the flower garden. Corpse, can you bear this responsibility?" Li Canghai frowned and shouted coldly.

Hearing his words, the butler couldn't help but shivered.

These dogs were poisoned to death, and he couldn't escape the responsibility. If it was true that there were corpses buried under the flowerbed as he said, he would not be able to bear this kind of thing.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and get tools to help!" The housekeeper cursed unluckily, and shouted angrily at the servants who were stunned in place.

Those people came to their senses, hurried to get the tools, and then returned to the flowerbed and started digging.

Li Canghai frowned, and the flowers on the flowerbed were quickly cleaned up. As everyone dug, the rancid smell in the soil gradually increased.

Fortunately, Li Canghai asked people to prepare more saponins and atractylodes.

He lit more saponins and atractylodes, and the rancid smell was relieved a lot.

When they dug more than three feet, a servant suddenly exclaimed: "Yes, there are dead people!"

Li Canghai hurriedly separated from the crowd and jumped into the pit.

The stench in the pit was even worse. Before that, a cloth shirt appeared in the pit. The cloth shirt was torn apart by a hoe, revealing a slightly blackened white hand bone underneath.

Letting everyone leave, Li Canghai used a hoe to clean up the surrounding soil bit by bit.

After about a stick of incense, when the surrounding soil was almost cleaned up, a thick skeleton appeared in the pit.

Everyone gasped, the butler's face was even more blood-red, and he sat down on the ground. He never expected that there was actually a dead body hidden under the flowerbed.

The flesh on the corpse had already fallen off, but there was still some skin and flesh connected together, which looked extremely terrifying.

Li Canghai had someone get the body out, and then began to examine it.

He found a lot of bits and pieces of carrion in the flowerbed where the corpses were buried, and after testing it with silver needles, he confirmed that the carrion was indeed poisonous.

Judging from the degree of decay of the dog's mouths, the poison on the carrion was very corrosive, which accelerated the decay of the corpse, making it impossible for him to make an accurate judgment on the burial time of the corpse.

At this time, Wang Buquan, who learned that someone had broken into the house, hurried over with a group of subordinates.

Seeing a group of people in the garden from afar, his expression tightened suddenly, and he hurried over.

"Master, you are back, something has happened, something big has happened!" Seeing Wang Buquan coming back, the housekeeper hurriedly greeted him and said eagerly.

"What's going on?" Wang Buquan asked non-stop.

"Master, there is a dead body hidden in our garden!" said the housekeeper, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Wang Buquan's expression turned cold suddenly, and he walked over quickly.

Seeing Wang Buquan's unkind expression, the servants stepped aside one after another and stood aside.

"Brother Li, why are you at my house?" Seeing Li Canghai, Wang Buquan was a little surprised.

"It's a long story." Li Canghai told him what had happened, pointing to the corpse and said, "This corpse was found in a flower garden, County Captain Wang, you should quickly investigate and see if there is any in the mansion." There are few people, can you find out the identity of this person?"

After Wang Buquan finished listening, his brows were furrowed. He asked the housekeeper to investigate according to what Li Canghai said, and then asked, "Brother Li, have you found any clues?"

Li Canghai pondered and said: "Judging from the decay of the bones and the way the body was disposed of, this is a murder case. After killing the deceased, the murderer buried the body in a flowerbed, and then planted flowers and plants on it. To cover up the evidence. When I first arrived here, I felt a little strange, the same species, why this flower garden is more lush than the flower gardens on both sides, because it is nourished by the flesh and blood of corpses."

"This flower garden has always been taken care of by servants, why have they never found any clues?" Wang Buquan said angrily with slightly cold eyes.
