Chapter 32 Two-color lotus 04(1/2)
Bo Ruoyou finally chose a corpse-cutting knife with an extremely thin blade, the size of a willow leaf.
Everyone was curious whether she wanted to use this object to open the cranium, so they saw her walk to the north of the coffin bed and use this corpse-slicing knife to lightly and accurately cut the scalp of the body. The next moment, she lifted up a small piece of scalp on the back of the deceased's head.
"vomit--"
Wu Yu's face turned pale and couldn't help but retching. Seeing Huo Weilou frowned and looked over, Wu Yu covered his mouth, bowed apologetically, turned around and went out.
After leaving the house, he gasped heavily, and Eunuch Fu looked at him with a smile, "Isn't Mr. Wu used to it?"
Wu Yu was still retching, and he smiled bitterly when he heard this. At this time, another person was around him. When he looked up, it was Yue Mingquan. Yue Mingquan frowned and hissed and gasped. Seeing that Eunuch Fu and Wu Yu were looking at him, he raised his hand and touched his hair, and said in a thick voice: "I feel like my head is being lifted off--"
After hearing what he said, Wu Yu couldn't help but feel numb.
Yue Mingquan looked at Eunuch Fu and whispered: "Where did the Marquis find such a person?"
Eunuch Fu smiled and said, "I came from Qingzhou."
Everyone knows that Huo Weilou comes from Qingzhou. When Yue Mingquan heard Eunuch Fu's words, he wanted to ask more. But when he thought of Huo Weilou's temperament, Bo Ruoyou's calm expression of scalp with a knife, he suddenly stopped asking.
At this moment, the sound of "ding ding ding" came from the house.
Yue Mingquan and Wu Yu looked at each other, and the two turned around and looked inward. After seeing this, Wu Yu hurriedly shrank out again. Yue Mingquan's mouth twitched, and he turned around and stood outside the door honestly.
In front of the coffin bed, Bo Ruoyou held a knife in his left hand, pressed the tip of the knife against the skull, and a small iron hammer in his right hand, and was hitting the hilt of the knife with a hammer to pry open the skull of the deceased.
The "ding ding ding" sound was crisp and loud, shaking everyone's hearts again and again. Not to mention Wu Yu and the others, even Huo Weilou was a little surprised. He had seen the corpse cut, but it was the first time he saw it.
If a living person has a skull, he will definitely die. For the dead, any head injury is obvious. Many coroners can tell whether it is a fatal injury by touching their bones. The last time, Zheng Wenchen fell from the building and broke his forehead and died. That time, Bo Ruoyou did not have a skull.
His eyes fell on Bo Ruoyou's face, and she saw her dark eyebrows still frowning, because she had been bent over for a long time, and there was a layer of fine crystal sweat on her forehead, and her bright eyes were slightly narrowed, as if any clue could not escape her eyes.
The pair of hands with slender and beautiful knuckles were very steady in holding the knife and hammer. Although the sound of pounding was clear, the Cun Jin that fell on the tip of the knife was actually extremely exquisite. Huo Weilou narrowed his eyes and saw a bit of a perfect pleasing feeling from Bo Ruoyou, as if her subordinates were not a terrifying corrupt head, but a piece of exquisite jade flowing in green.
Bo Ruoyou looked solemn and focused, and even Huo Weilou's urgency that seemed to be substantial could not be sensed. In her eyes, only this scalp was purple and blue, and she could still see the head of the purple-red branched blood vessel network below. The tip of the knife was stuck in the crack of the bone, and each knock was deeper. Her body was always half-tilted, but the angle of the tip of the knife was changed several times. After two incense sticks, a complete skull was taken off by her.
There was nothing to see when the skull was stuck to the head, but once it was removed, it could be seen that the above was obviously broken, and the broken marks on both sides were uneven, and half of them were even cracked into two layers. Bo Ruoyou took the skull and looked at it for a while, put it aside, and then looked at the brain cavity under the skull. She didn't know what she saw. She pondered for a moment, then took the skull back, pressed it back tightly, and then covered the raised scalp. In an instant, only the initial cut could be seen on the skull.
The injury on the forehead is very similar to that of Zheng Wenchen's previous injuries. Bo Ruoyou was not careless this time, so he also cut it open. The injury is close to the temple, and the bones are also severely broken. Logically speaking, these bone fractures will cause the blood vessels in the meninges to rupture, thus forming blood vessels, but Bo Ruoyou only found a very small blood overflow here.
She frowned and stood up to check the remaining injuries on the deceased.
The deceased died for many days, and occasionally saw mold spots on the corpse. Because it had been soaked in water, even if it was rescued, the water stains on the robes were concentrated on the back, buttocks and thighs, which caused the most rotten parts of the body's back, buttocks and thighs. At this time, insect eggs could be seen growing on it. At first, except for the wounds and surrounding bruises, there were no other obvious scars on the corpse surface. However, when Bo Ruoyou used white vinegar, the scars under the corpse surface slowly emerged, especially on the back, abdomen, and on both arms, there were several obvious purple-black marks.
Bo Ruoyou checked it carefully, then exhale and straightened her body. She looked at Huo Weilou, "Marty, the civilian girl has finished the test."
Huo Weilou nodded, "What's the reason for death?"
Bo Ruoyou said calmly: "The deceased had many injuries, and the injuries were caused from six or seven, the forehead, chest, left abdomen, left arms and thighs, etc., all of which were blood-like, but they were not fatal injuries, and were at the back of the deceased's skull." Bo Ruoyou stood beside the deceased's head and pointed to the wounded.
"The skull bone of the deceased rupture caused the cranial apex plate bone to become a concave shattered, and the lateral plate bone fracture is less than the medial plate bone. Because the medial plate bone is thinner and fragile, the blood vessels under the parietal bone rupture after the skull is broken and the skull is caused to cause large facial bleeding. Just now, the deceased found that there were indeed a lot of blood stains between the meridians of the brain in the deceased."
As he said that, Bo Ruoyou pointed to the injury on the forehead of the deceased: "The injury here is enough to cause death, but the amount of bleeding here is very small, and only a little blood is overflowing between the veins, so it is not a place to die."
After a pause, Bo Ruoyou looked at Wang Qingfu who was still left at the door, and seemed a little hesitant.
Huo Weiluo said: "But it's okay."
Bo Ruoyou then said: "This situation was caused by the deceased's brain injury, which caused a lot of bleeding and even death, and then the forehead was injured again. At this moment, the deceased's pulse was short and the air was exhausted, and the blood flow was slow. Therefore, even if the blood vessels near the temple at the forehead were ruptured, only a small amount of blood was flowing out."
"In the same situation, there were still injuries in the remaining deceased."
Bo Ruoyou walked to the left side of the coffin bed, "The wounds on the chest, abdomen, arms and legs of the deceased were wide and rough, and there were bruises and abrasions of all sizes around the wound. Under the wound, there were also bone fractures. The female speculated that the wounds were mostly caused by rough but hard cuts, while bruises and bone fractures were caused by falling down from a high place."
"In other words, these injuries were caused by Lord Feng falling from the cliff on the back mountain. Lord Feng had already suffered severe damage when he fell from the back mountain. He was first injured and was thrown off the cliff on the back mountain when he died."
Yue Mingquan had previously said that Feng Lun had fallen off the cliff because he was a mistake, but Bo Ruoyou said this and concluded that Feng Lun's death was a murder case.
The atmosphere inside the house suddenly condensed slightly.
Huo Weilou's voice also became cold, "What else is there?"
Huo Weilou had just observed Bo Ruoyou in a slightest way. He saw every change in her expression. Naturally, Bo Ruoyou knew that Bo Ruoyou had discovered more than these. Sure enough, Bo Ruoyou continued: "It rained that night. It started to begin with an hour and a half. At first, the girl saw the deceased's clothes wrinkled a lot, thinking that the deceased fell off the cliff before it rained. But after checking the wound, the girl found that it was not the case."
"The deceased's clothes, hair and shoes were all stained with mud stains. However, there were no mud stains in several wounds, especially the forehead, chest and abdomen of the deceased. According to the wound marks and arrangements, it is very likely that it fell from a high place and fell into a pile of stones and was cut by the tip of the stone. The clothes on the deceased's clothes, chest and other areas were wet with water, so the blood stains on the robes became pale, but the blood stains on the back of the deceased's neck and shoulders did not fade."
"After falling down, the deceased fell down, and just got stuck in the water on the ground after the rain, which wet the robes next to the ground. If he fell down before it rained, the robes on his neck, shoulders and back would also be wet by the rain. In this way, there would be no difference in the thickness of blood on the robes."
Lu Ke listened, and immediately said, "Marty, what she said is right. The place where Lord Feng fell was a depression. There were indeed many stones during this period. When we found Lord Feng, Lord Feng's back was dry, but the rain stopped for a long time. My subordinates only thought that his clothes had dried up by themselves, but they didn't expect that Lord Feng had not been wet in the rain."
Lu Ke's words confirmed that what Bo Ruoyou said was true, but Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "No, the blood can only prove that Lord Feng fell down the cliff after the rain stopped, and had not been in the rain for a long time after being injured, not that he had not been in the rain."
Bo Ruoyou pointed to the robe that was placed aside, "The outer robe worn by the deceased that day was the best Jiangnan silk. If such silk woven items were not well tidyed after seeing water, there would definitely be many wrinkles. Marquis, please see, the deceased's robe, the back of the robe, etc., there were wrinkles. This shows that when it rained at night, Lord Feng was wet in the rain."
Huo Weilou stared at, "That is to say, when it rained at night, Feng Lun was not in his Zen temple, and he was very likely to be arguing with someone when it rained, but the rain stopped when it was pushed down the cliff by the murderer."
Bo Ruoyou nodded, "That's true. In addition to the deaths and injuries on the back of the head, the deceased also had many bruises on his body. The woman speculated that it was left behind when he was arguing with someone... There were a lot of mud stains on the shoes of the deceased. The woman just checked it and found that the mud stains were mostly dark brown, and there were also a small amount of vegetation and wood rot. I wonder if there were pine, cypress or old bamboo forests in this temple?"
Lu Ke hurriedly said, "There is a bamboo forest on the cliff behind the mountain."
There is a bamboo forest just on the cliff of the back mountain...
Huo Weilou asked: "When did you find out that night that he was not in his Zen temple? Is there any abnormalities in front and behind?"
Lu Ke said, "It started to rain when my subordinates arrived at the foot of the mountain. Later, when I arrived at the temple, it was almost halfway through. At that time, several adults came to welcome their subordinates, but they did not see Master Feng. The Marquis of the Subordinate came. That night, he planned to discuss with the several adults what to do about discovering the bones. Seeing that Master Feng had not appeared, he ordered someone to invite him. At that time, Master Feng was no longer in the Zen Temple. So my subordinates said that it was too late. The next day, and the Lords left. We probably sat in the same place for two incense sticks. Then Master Jingming brought his subordinates to take over the guards here, and he also ordered physical evidence before going back to rest. When he went back, the rain had just stopped. Except for Master Feng was not in his Zen Temple, there was nothing abnormal."
Lu Ke saw Wu Yu and the other two more times, and the four of them lived in two incense sticks, and then they dispersed. It was almost the second day of the day. If Lord Feng had not been killed when everyone dispersed, then the incident happened after this.
Huo Weilou turned around and looked at Wang Qingfu, "Where did you all go after you dispersed?"
Wang Qingfu hurriedly said, "Xiaguan and Brother Wu returned to the Zen temple together, and have never been out again. Brother Wu can testify for the sake of the emperor."
Wu Yu hurriedly entered the door, "Yes, Marquis, we can testify against each other."
Yue Mingquan came in and said rudely: "Marty, Xiaguan has also returned to his Zen Temple. It was still raining at that time, and it was too late, Xiaguan has rested by himself."
Huo Wei said: "Can anyone prove it?"
Yue Mingquan's expression changed slightly, "This... there is no one to prove it, but Xia Guan really never went out that night..."
Huo Weilou stared at him for a moment, and Yue Mingquan smiled bitterly, "When Xiaguan was an official in Luozhou, he had a good time with Lord Feng and had no conflicts. Later, Xiaguan went to Zhenxi Army. Lord Feng was promoted to Beijing and had almost no contact. It was impossible for the lower officials to harm Lord Feng. Moreover, the lower officials also did their duty in the past..."
After a pause, Yue Mingquan said: "In addition to us, there are many monks in the temple, especially a few disciples of Master Jingkong. If they blame Master Jingkong for something wrong on us, they might harm people."
Huo Weilou looked at Yue Mingquan calmly, "That skeleton is not yet confirmed to be Master Jingkong."
The autopsy was quite a lot, and the adults who had doubts just now all looked calm and wanted to get rid of the suspicion as soon as possible. Thinking that so many cases were found by Bo Ruoyou, her eyes were a little solemn.
When it was too late, Lin Huai hesitated and said, "Why did the Marquis want a bone test tonight?"
The bones were in the main hall. According to Huo Weilou's temperament, he thought it would not be delayed. However... Lin Huai looked at Bo Ruoyou and saw that she was picking her hands and cleaning up the utensils. He was a little hesitant. The girl was wearing an unconcealed fatigue and didn't know if she could stand it.
"Let's check it tomorrow." Huo Weilou finished speaking, looking at Yue Mingquan and his eyes turned stern, "You are very powerful. This is to investigate the old things that happened back then. It is best to recover the relics, but now the death of Lord Feng may be related to you. In the next few days, you will act under the supervision of the embroidered emblem."
Yue Mingquan and others dared not be disrespectful, so they hurriedly clasped their fists and said that.
Huo Weilou said, "This is the case tonight. I will ask you a lot of details tomorrow, so let's go."
The three of them hurriedly bowed and turned around and retreated.
Huo Weilou ordered Lu Ke: "Send someone to stare at them."
Lu Ke responded and made arrangements since he went out. Bo Ruoyou was cleaning his hands. Lin Huai said, "Mr. Marquis should stop, as he has been quite tired all the way here."
Huo Weilou nodded, "Where is Master Jingming?"
Jingming had been waiting outside. At this moment, after entering the door, Huo Weilou said, "I must let the disciples in the temple not walk around in the past few days."
Jingming hurriedly said, "Don't worry, since the accident between Lord Feng, all the courses in the temple have stopped."
Huo Weilou nodded, looked at the room again, turned around and walked out. Bo Ruoyou saw this and naturally followed. When he left the door, Jingming led the way: "The Marquis' Zen Temple is very close to Lord Lin, but this female donor--"
Huo Weilou asked, "Can there be a wing room in the Zen temple?"
Jingming nodded, Huo Wei said, "It is enough for her to live in the first yard with me."
Jingming responded quickly, and Lin Huai looked a little deeper as he heard it. Although the two of them lived in the same ward, they were in a separate room, which shows that they were not the same as what they thought.
The group left the yard and led by Jingming to the prepared Zen temple.
There are many temples in Famen Temple, which are stretched up the mountain and are endless. Although you can't see clearly in the night, you can still tell the outline of the distant shadow when you look up from afar. There is a Buddha fragrance everywhere in the temple. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of wooden fish practiced by monks in the Zen temple. It is quite peaceful and peaceful. If it weren't for the skeletons hidden in the Buddha statue, and the murder case had just happened in the temple, Bo Ruoyou wanted to enter the temple to worship.
The further you go to the Zen temple, the further you get from the Buddhist temple. Bo Ruoyou retracts his gaze. Suddenly, a young man stood outside the courtyard pavilion ahead.
Bo Ruoyou felt strange, but saw that Huo Weilou did not stop, "Lin Zhao is here too."
Lin Huai smiled and said, "Before the New Year, Your Majesty ordered him to compile the Tripitaka, and this time he would transport half of the Buddhist scriptures in the temple to Xiangguo Temple in the capital. For fear of something wrong, he would let him, who knows some tricks."
The young man was in double 10 years old, wearing a blue shirt, handsome and bright. Seeing everyone, he quickly stepped forward, smiled and bowed to Huo Weilou, "Greetings to the Marquis."
His attitude was clear, not like Wu Yu and others who were afraid of Huo Weilou. When Huo Weilou saw him, he also said in a relaxed tone, "It is rare for you, father and son to come together to do the job together this time."
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "A father is asking for his life. I think there will be no mistakes in this errand. The marquis is going to take a break?" As soon as this was settled, Lin Zhao saw Bo Ruoyou behind Huo Weilou at a glance, and his expression changed slightly, "This..."
Huo Weilou said indifferently: "It is the coroner whom I have come to find." After saying that, he didn't say much, "It's too late, I'm going to take a break."
Lin Huai coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Marquis is working hard all the way, don't delay your efforts." As he said that, he pulled Lin Zhao away, "Mr. Marquis, please--"
Huo Weilou nodded and walked away again. Bo Ruoyou followed Huo Weilou away. Lin Zhao looked at Bo Ruoyou in a daze before he looked away. Lin Huai was a little annoyed and pointed Lin Zhao at Lin Zhao, and first sent Huo Weilou to the Zen temple before coming back.
This courtyard is where his father and son live temporarily. When Lin Huai comes back, Lin Zhao has come back to his senses. He asked, "Father, that woman belongs to the Marquis..."
Lin Huai smiled bitterly, "It's the literal meaning of the Marquis, his newly-seeked coroner."
Lin Zhao's snorted, "It looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Is he a coroner? Is the woman a coroner?"
To be continued...
