Daxuanti criminal officer

Chapter 77

The body of the female body was not covered with a cassock, but a common gray monk's robe made of ordinary material.

I don't know how long the woman has been dead. Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, it seems that she has merged with the stone platform.

Turning to the corpse, Xu Zun saw that it was indeed a relatively young woman.He has long black hair, without hair bundles or any decorations.

The woman's eyes are closed, her hands are clasped together, and a string of rosary beads is hung around her neck, maintaining a posture of chanting and meditating.

Oh……

Xu Zun's heart trembled, and a chill came out spontaneously.

This posture seems normal, but as a corpse, it is too weird!
Obviously, such a death posture of the deceased must have deep meaning.

Looking at the woman's face, although it can't be said to be very beautiful, it can be considered beautiful.It is only waxy white due to the freezing of frost and snow.

Xu Zun also smelled a faint fragrance from the woman's body, like some kind of sandalwood.

The woman's body is relatively thin, and she looks light and weightless.

"This girl..." Zhao Yu bit her lip and pondered, "If it's not Miss Lu, don't be that girl Xiaofeng anymore?"

Lu Xiaofeng?
Xu Zun also had this idea, and immediately asked Ju Ran: "Ju Shenzhang, did Hou Ye say anything when he saw the corpse just now? Does he know this girl?"

"Ah?" Ju Ran was taken aback for a moment, and replied falteringly, "No? Master Hou just said that he is not Miss, and didn't say anything else?"

"Really?" Zhao Yu asked, "What about the servants of the Hou Mansion? They didn't recognize the girl's identity?"

"Hey?" Ju Ran asked, "What do you mean by this? Today is also the first time we have come to the scene of the crime. No one mentioned that they recognized the deceased?"

Oh?
Then it's not Lu Xiaofeng!

Yes, Xu Zun just remembered that the maids said that Lu Xiaofeng was two years younger than Lu Mingyue, so at most 14 years old.

But the girl in front of me has obvious adult features, and she should be between 18 and 20 years old by visual estimation.

"Ju Shen catcher," Xu Zun approached and observed carefully, and found that there was no scar on the woman's neck, so he asked Ju Ran, "Can you see the cause of death?"

"I can't see it," Ju Ran replied, "but judging from the environmental factors here and the signs of the corpse, she has been dead for at least ten days!"

"Ah?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Has it been so long?"

"It's freezing cold," Ju Ran said, "The corpse has obvious signs of dehydration, and it may not only last ten days, but even longer."

"Looking at the appearance alone, it seems that there is no frostbite," Xu Zun speculated, "that is to say, he didn't freeze to death..."

When speculating, Xu Zun couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to untie the monk's robe and take a look inside.

"Hello?" Ju Ran hurriedly stopped her as if frightened, "Wait a minute, my lord!"

Xu Zun stopped his hands, his face was puzzled.

"My lord, um..." Ju Ran hurriedly explained, "The clerks in the yamen will be here soon, they are more professional, let them handle it!

"This may be the first time you have come to Shangyuan City," he whispered in Xu Zun's ear, "This Huguo Temple is a bit evil, in order to prevent your lord from getting any bad things, please don't do it yourself. !"

"Oh……"

Xu Zun wanted to argue with him, but found that Ju Ran's forehead was soaked in cold sweat, and his eyes and expression were very unnatural.

Could it be... what does this Ju Ran know?
Or, does he have any dark secrets?

"It's okay, it's okay," Xu Zun took out a pair of rough gloves from his sleeve, put them on and said, "If I wear this, I won't touch the corpse directly!"

This pair of gloves was brought over by Xu Zun from Xinye County. They are made of thick waterproof cloth, and they were also used by the autopsies in the past.

With that said, Xu Zun stretched out his hand towards the corpse again.

"My lord, wait a moment!" Ju Ran stopped excitedly again, "This woman died in the monastery wearing a monk's robe, I'm afraid my lord will be in danger!"

Ok?
The more Ju Ran obstructed him, the more suspicious Xu Zun became.

"Damn," Xu Zun suddenly pointed to the distance and yelled strangely, "There is a ghost!"

"what?"

As soon as Ju Ran turned his head, Xu Zun immediately reached out and grabbed the monk's robe of the female corpse.

shuh...

Ju Ran realized that he had been fooled, and flew out of the scabbard of the sword, blocking Xu Zun's arm.

Xu Zun flicked off the scabbard with one palm, and stretched out his other hand, but Ju Ran blocked it with the scabbard again.

"My lord, my lord!" Ju Ran yelled, "It's really untouchable! Listen to me!"

"I am imposing punishment, can't I even examine the corpse?" Xu Zun got angry, opened the scabbard again, and stretched out to the corpse again.

Ju Ran brandished the scabbard again to stop them, and the two actually started fighting!
At the same moment, the outside police officers rushed into the scene when they heard the abnormal movement, and they all showed their swords.

"Young lady, bear!"

Zhao Yu also didn't expect that the two of them would fight as soon as they said they wanted to, so he hurriedly raised his knife and came to help.

"My lord, listen to me..."

Ju Ran was very anxious, and his subordinates were getting faster and faster.As a headhunter in Shangyuan City, he is naturally not weak in kung fu, and he forced Xu Zun to retreat in the blink of an eye.

However, he ignored the tacit understanding between Xu Zun and Zhao Yu.

When he turned around again, ready to meet Zhao Yu's attack, he realized that Zhao Yu didn't draw his sword to launch an attack, but took the opportunity to pick up the monk's robe from the female corpse!

It turned out that Xu Zun was deliberately forced to leave by Ju Ran in order to lure him away so that Zhao Yu could attack him.

"what!!?"

After removing the monk's robe, Zhao Yu froze in place.

"This……"

Ju Ran ran over quickly, and after seeing the situation on the female corpse, her knees softened and she landed on one leg.

Xu Zun followed closely behind, and when he came to the front, he suddenly saw a long and eye-catching knife cut on the abdomen of the female corpse!
However, the incision has been stitched up! ! !

After seeing this scene, all the policemen who entered the scene put down their swords, with a strange look of relief on their faces.

"Bold!" Xu Zun yelled at Ju Ran, "You know the cause of death of this female corpse but you didn't tell the truth, and you still want to obstruct it. What's your intention!?"

"My lord, I..." Ju Ran knelt in front of Xu Zun, and argued, "I... I don't know the cause of her death! We all came to the scene with Lord Hou, and no one opened the monk's robe... ..."

"You still dare to quibble!?" Xu Zun was furious, and expressed his inference, "Since you don't even know the cause of death, why did you insist that it was a murder just now!? Why didn't you suspect that she committed suicide or What about freezing to death?"

"This..." Ju Ran was speechless.

"If you don't know that she was disemboweled, why bother to stop her?" Xu Zun shouted, "I see, you not only know the cause of the female corpse's death, but also the ins and outs.

"What audacity, you dare to attack me, trying to attack me!
"Ju Ran, do you know that you are committing the following crime, can I deal with you now?"

"My lord, my lord calm down..." Ju Ran said with a frightened face, "This...that's not what I meant, my lord!"

"what!?"

Xu Zun's heart skipped a beat, he didn't expect to encounter such unexpected things when he first arrived in Shangyuan City.

If Ju Ran acted at the behest, does that mean there is someone else who wants to stop him?

"Ju Ran," Xu Zun shouted, "I'll give you another chance to make it clear, if you can't make it clear, then I'll put you in prison right now!

"Don't think that I can't do anything about you because you have a backer. I will tell Master Hou about this, and say that you obstructed my investigation into Miss's disappearance. See if Master Hou will let you go?"

"My lord, my lord, you misunderstood, really misunderstood!" Ju Ran said, "The case of the female corpse has nothing to do with Miss Hou Ye, but... but..."

"But what?" Xu Zun shouted, "Quickly say it!"

"Female corpse in monk robe..." Ju Ran murmured, "This is not the first time in Shangyuan City..."
