Soft and cute female mage

Chapter 217 The Strange Corpse
The entire body was disheveled and piled on the ground like a rotten rag.Because of wild dogs snatching food, his right arm was bitten off at the wrist. Although Wu Zuo retrieved the palm at the slag removal port, the three knuckles may have been swallowed by wild dogs, and his whereabouts are unknown.

Although the legs and feet also have bite marks and skin and flesh damage, but no bone can be seen in the depth, nor is it broken.

It's just that the clothes all over the body were torn to pieces, large areas of skin were exposed, and skin injuries and large patches of corpses could be seen everywhere, which was nothing unusual.

It's just that when Wuzuo pressed the chest and abdomen of the deceased, he was taken aback.Immediately, he raised a torch and moved closer to study it carefully.I saw that the abdomen of the corpse was empty, and the belly collapsed unnaturally.

Of course Fang Ling also saw this, and felt that this situation was somewhat similar to that of the second lady in Luogu Cave back then.

It doesn't matter if the chest and abdomen are collapsed or the corpse is mutilated. What's terrible is that Fang Ling seems to see the dead man's face covered with grass ash, and the corners of his mouth seem to twitch inadvertently.

Suddenly, a heart beat wildly.

After the yamen servant finished recording the various marks on the horse's eyes, he just turned around to take a look, when he suddenly yelled and almost threw the notebook in his hand.

"Are you working on an errand on the first day? What's the ghost's name?" Catcher Li reprimanded.

"Yes, yes...the corners of the corpse's mouth moved..."

Hearing this, Changting looked at the corpse and said with confidence:

"Impossible! Although there are things here, there is absolutely no way they can cause trouble under my nose!"

"Really, I really saw it!"

When the yamen officer saw that Li was about to slap him with a big slap, he quickly shouted to defend himself.

"A worthless thing!"

When Capt. Li saw the frightened look on the officer's face, he finally couldn't do anything and cursed.

"I saw it too." Fang Ling thought for a while and said leisurely.

Chang Ting glanced at Fang Ling suspiciously, Fang Ling's eyes were sincere but could not hide a trace of panic.Only then did Chang Ting look carefully at the corpse, and suddenly, the corner of the corpse's mouth twitched unexpectedly.

"See it, see it... that's a ghost... no... monster, monster!"

The yamen servant was in a mess and screamed.

Capt. Li couldn't bear it any longer and slapped him in the face, shouting angrily:
"To shut up!"

At this time, among the five people present, only Changting remained calm. He patted Fang Ling on the shoulder and said softly:
"Go and see!"

"I?"

Chang Ting looked at her and said calmly: "Otherwise?"

Fang Ling thought that he was really stingy, but just by saying that, he was really being treated as a decoration.While secretly cursing in his heart, he stepped forward and said:

"Are you sure there are no evil spirits on this corpse?"

Changting curled his lips, "Sure! Trust me!"

Fang Ling imitated Zheng Shouyi's Sichuan accent and muttered: "I believe in you Chuan Chuan!"

Perhaps Capt. Li felt that it was unseemly for four grown men to push a woman out, so he simply took the torch from Fang Ling's hand and said:

"There are countless corpses that have passed under my hands. I have never seen any strange things. Are you afraid of him?"

After saying that, he held up the torch and took out the thin knife in the hand of the man. He squatted down and got close to the corpse. He looked at the corpse face to face for a long time, and finally picked out a fat, white, twisting worm from the corner of the mouth.

Fang Ling took a look, isn't this just a maggot?
Li Butou flicked the blade in disdain, whether it was intentional or not, the fat maggot was swished onto the yamen servant just now.The yamen servant screamed in fright and jumped three feet high.

The panicked look made Catcher Li laugh angrily.

"Excellence! A single maggot can scare you to death! It's not as good as a girl! Hurry up and pick up your book, and record that the corpse has rotted and maggots, and it has been dead for more than four days."

At this time, Zuo Zuo, who had been gloomy all this time, finally spoke up: "No, this is clearly something new."

Catcher Li didn't care about the bad words, he just said: "How can you see that?"

Wu Zuo hurriedly stepped forward and opened the eyes, mouth and nose of the deceased and explained to everyone:

"The skin and flesh are still rosy in color, the bleeding from the wounds is not cloudy and black, and the sebum under the tongue and throat has not melted. The corpse spots are distributed in large areas, and the finger pressure does not go away.

The most important thing is that the pupils of the corpse's eyes were not cloudy and whitish, and the pupils were still recognizable, so it can be seen that the death did not exceed two days. "

"Then why did the corpse produce such large maggots?"

"There is indeed something strange about this matter. Please wait until I move the body to a place with sufficient light for further investigation."

At this time, Wang Fu outside had already woken up slowly. Although he still had some lingering fears, he still bit the bullet and came in with two other yamen servants and moved the corpse outside the kiln.

It was nearly noon, and the scorching sun was high.In order to avoid changes during the transportation of the corpse, several government officials built a simple shed on the spot.The old man started to take action.

I saw him unbuttoning the cowhide sash he was carrying and throwing out a row of various utensils, including knives, axes, scissors, hooks, and forks of various sizes.

Someone had already brought water from a nearby stream.He used cotton gauze dipped in water to gently remove the grass ash and bloody mucus from the corpse.

The deceased had sharp-billed monkey cheeks and a small stature, wasn't he the same little man who was beaten up by Zheng Shouyi yesterday?At this time, a villager who was close and sharp-eyed shouted:
"Isn't this that scoundrel Jason?"

At this time, Zheng Shouyi, who was surrounded outside, had a twinkle in his eyes. He shrank behind the crowd, and suddenly ran away.

Catcher Li's eyes were burning brightly, and he had already understood it. After a few brisk steps, he rushed out, cut off Zheng Shouyi's hands behind him, and pressed him to the ground.

Zheng Shouyi deserves to be from a family of butchers, and he is tall and strong, so he has a lot of brute strength.Under the resistance, he almost escaped.However, there were so many people on the other side that other officials quickly arrived and tied him up tightly and brought him close.

Fang Ling never expected that the nephew he had just recognized would become a suspect in an instant.

Capt. Li said, "Tell me, did you kill the person?"

Zheng Shouyi was pressed to the ground with his neck stuck and replied in a rough voice: "It's not me, I never did it."

"Then what are you running for?"

"Just thinking that there is still a lot of work waiting to be done at home."

When Fang Ling heard this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and thought to himself: "Can you make it more perfunctory?"

Capt. Li continued with a sneer: "Know?"

"I don't know! I haven't seen it!"

Fang Ling wished he could go up and give him a kick. What was the point of making up lies that could be exposed immediately?
Sure enough, someone from the nearby villagers immediately interjected: "They clearly know each other. Not only do they know each other, but they also have a long history of enmity and fights from time to time."

"I saw him chasing Jason for two miles yesterday," another added.

Catcher Li: "But the one who beat him to death and threw his body away?"

Fang Ling heard the words and quickly stepped forward to explain: "Absolutely not! He was still alive and well at that time, and later he followed us to the inn in the town for Sapo."

Catcher Li unexpectedly turned his head to look at Fang Ling, "Young lady also knows about this?"

"Ah... we recognize... oh, no, there may be something else to do with it."

At this point, it was impossible to hide the matter. Although Fang Ling was a little embarrassed, he still told everything about yesterday.

Li Butou stroked his chin, and thoughtfully said: "Are you his eldest aunt?"

"It's not biological, it's just... how should I put it, it's sworn sworn."

"I have seen people marrying Jinlan as sisters and brothers, but I have never heard of people becoming aunts."

"No, in fact, he married my younger brother when his father was still alive. This Zheng Shouyi values ​​love, righteousness and seniority, so he just calls me aunt."

"Your brother is sworn sworn brother with his father?" When Catcher Li repeated this sentence, his suspicion was beyond words.But he can't be blamed for this, but no one who hears this will believe it.

Other relationships can still be attributed to seniority, but it is difficult to explain whether it is seniority or age between the younger brother and his father.

Fang Ling obviously couldn't explain clearly, so he had to reluctantly answer: "Maybe...they just admire each other...the type of Wangnian friends.

But it doesn't matter.The important thing is that Jason followed us all the way, and later even acted like a fool in front of the inn. He was still alive and well when we left, as many people can testify. "

While everyone was holding on to their opinions, the old Wu Zuo over there looked at the corpse but couldn't help being surprised and said:

"It's incredible."
