Chapter 344

The corpse is weird.

The process of falling from the building was strange.

Based on these two points alone, the murderer cannot be identified, but they can be used as clues to track down.

Thinking of this, Lu Li said: "Last Yuan Festival, without the need for paperwork, what kind of enjoyment is this?" Let this case be handed over to the cat in front of me, no, Mr. Shaoqing, after all, those who can do more work.

The most important thing is that every time Wannian and Chang'an counties report weird cases to Dali Temple, Li Bing leads people to handle them.

In other words.

It's experienced.

Therefore, in order to solve the case as soon as possible and avoid being entangled in official affairs during the Lantern Festival, Lu Li decided to reveal the last clue.

In fact, no need to say much.

Li Bing, the royal cat, had noticed the two letters in Lu Li's hand.

"Miss Mingyue wrote a poem before she was alive, hoping that a certain down-and-out scholar would redeem her, but the other party and Shi refused..."

Hearing this, Li Bing nodded, took the letter from Lu Li, and lowered his head to sniff——

Both have done it.

"Do you smell something?" Lu Li stood on the roof, facing the night wind, and said to himself, "There are two strange fragrances, one is sandalwood, and the other is familiar but unidentifiable."

"It's sesame oil, pressed from flax. You can't tell the difference because the monks in the temple added some homemade spices to it."

Having said that, Li Bing paused, looked up to the east side, "It seems that the suspect lived in the temple for a while, otherwise, the letter would not have such a strong smell of sandalwood and sesame oil."

To the east of the south gate of the square, there is Baotang Temple, which was built in the second year of Kaihuang in the former Sui Dynasty. It was originally called Bodhi Temple, and it was renamed Baotang Temple in the sixth year of Tang Dazhong. This is the nearest temple, and there is only a long street and seven or eight families away from the place where the murder occurred.

"Since the clues are clear, thank you for your hard work, Shaoqing. I will wait for the good news." Lu Li smiled and rubbed Li Bing's head to show his closeness.

Then, under Yumao's death gaze, he quietly withdrew his hand, pretending nothing happened.

Hmm...it feels nice and soft.

below.

The three foremen discussed how to conduct an autopsy.

"Let's start, make sure to check carefully, and don't miss anything." Having said that, the old servant lowered his voice, "This case is taken over by Dali Temple. If something goes wrong during the autopsy, I'm afraid we will all be held accountable."

"Here."

Only one person answered, the other nodded, took the brush from the belt, and took out the cardboard from his pocket, walked to the side and waited.

Two people inspected and one person recorded the process. The whole process was rigorous, coupled with their solemn expressions, it gave people a very reliable feeling.

Behind him, Marquis Wu and the unscrupulous people scattered one after another, holding up torches to disperse the darkness in the courtyard.

At the same time, Lu Li and Li Bing jumped down from the top of the building, waiting for Wu Zuo's autopsy results.

"Lu Qing is very skilled."

And Li Bai and the others hurried down from the attic. After Chao Heng praised in a low voice, he fell silent, which was regarded as respect for the deceased.

crackle!

Cangzhu and saponins exploded in the brazier, and the scent of the medicine wafted out. Lu Li felt that this was done to drive away evil spirits, because after seeing this scene, several bad people nearby took a few steps back...

"The deceased, Mingyue, a famous prostitute in Pingkangfang, was preliminarily judged to have died of falling from a height."

After saying that, the two assistants began to formally inspect the corpse. Starting from the front, the top, fontanel, hairline, forehead, and eyebrows went down along the top, and when they reached the eyes, they opened the eyelids for inspection.

"No foreign matter remains in the nose and mouth."

"Teeth and tongue are complete."

"There is no trace under it."

"There are no scars on the neck, no fractures."

The clerk who acted as a clerk worked hard to record the reported situation one by one.

Looking through the light and thin clothes easily, without having to remove all the clothes, you can see that the oiran Mingyue has not suffered any skin trauma, and it is better to say that she died suddenly than falling from a building——

No trace of injury could be found at all.

And as time went by, the old Wu Zuo felt more and more helpless. Just like the female corpse examined last night, there was not a single scar on her body. If it wasn't for the cold skin, she was almost the same as a sleeping person.

well……

With a low sigh, the old man turned around, but when he saw that there were people standing behind him, all of them with extraordinary demeanor, he was stunned again, and for a while, he didn't know who to report to.

Lu Li said casually, "There's no need to be too polite, just speak up."

"The body surface of the deceased has no external injuries, and no abnormalities were found. Do you want a re-examination?"

The so-called re-examination is actually to remove the clothes and re-examine the surface, and then invite a few women who help women to give birth to come to help. After all, men and women are different, and some places are not suitable for women to inspect. In the end, the belly is cut open.

And in the large hall, in order to improve efficiency, if you want to forcibly remove the clothes of the deceased, Lady Mingyue will really lose her reputation. In addition, the matter has come to this point, it can already be concluded:

Both oirans died unexpectedly, and the murderer was the same "person".

Because of this, Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Let's go here first, put the corpse in the coffin, and send it to Dali Temple in a Taiping car later."

"Here."

Hearing this, the two officers in charge of the autopsy let out a long sigh of relief, and at the same time took out a bamboo tube from their backpacks.

There is a sour smell of acetic acid.

Under everyone's searching eyes, they poured the vinegar into the brazier, and then jumped over it, as if to exorcise evil spirits.

"Everyone, the corpse is a filthy thing. To prevent it from being hit by something, it's best to step over the brazier." The old buddy explained while washing his hands with the forging water prepared in advance.

Li Bai and Wang Wei were skeptical, while Chao Heng frowned and remained silent.

"Just do it, it won't take long anyway." Supervisor He made a final decision.

Zi does not talk about strange powers and chaotic spirits, if he does not believe in it, he respects ghosts and gods and stays away.

Wu Zuo works with the dead almost every day. Although he is a subordinate official and eats food from the court, it is a low-level industry. After all, who would like to contact people who are free to get in touch?

The most important thing is that most of the legends about ghosts and snakes in the market come from Wu Zuo, which is very strange.

It is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not.

With this attitude, Lu Li followed suit. He washed his hands over the brazier and lime water. After rinsing them with clean water, the old foreman distributed a bowl of soup to everyone. Arrived.

Seeing this, Yuan Zai was speechless for a while. Earlier, he ordered Wu Zuo to go to the autopsy. As a result, this group of people waited for a long time before starting. They thought they had something important to do, but now they saw that they were busy building fires and cooking soup. .

Of course, Yuan Zai also thought about it in his heart, the movements of his hands were not slow at all. After getting the Sanshen soup, he raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp.

The strong herbal smell hits Tianling Gai directly.

In fact, there is nothing unusual about this Sanshen Decoction. Most people who are engaged in Wuzuo know this recipe: Cangzhu three liang, soaked in rice swill for two nights and then dried, then take Atractylodes macrocephala half liang, together with roasted licorice Boil in a pot, and finally put some salt.

In this way, it can ward off death.

Let's develop it separately, the first update of this month.
