The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 774
To collect the corpse means to wipe the whole body of the dead person, restore what needs to be restored, and sew up what needs to be sutured, making it clean and dignified, so that the dead person can be clothed.

Wu Zuo turned the intestines out, not completely stuffing them in, and a little bit was still exposed.

Chen Pi thought that this was the general's son after all, and that the general was still killing enemies for his country on the battlefield, so he took out the intestines again, recirculated them, and stuffed them back in.

He hated this game so much that he gritted his teeth.

The intestines were connected to the stomach, and the stomach was above the intestines, and it was actually torn somewhat.

At that time, the truth of the case had not yet been found out, and he did not know that the youngest son of the Zheng family had pulled out the intestines by himself. He just thought it was some bastard who had no descendants, and he cursed in his heart.

Eighteen generations of ancestors have come to send their greetings.

"More than ten days later, several of us collectors were talking about the Zheng family's case. One of them mentioned the piece of cowhide hidden behind the intestines. I..."

Chen Pi closed his eyes, "I just realized that the youngest son of the Zheng family pulled out the intestines himself."

He immediately felt something was wrong.

That day he wiped the hands of the youngest son of the Zheng family. The palm of his right hand was clean, except for the blood stains on the back of the hand.

There was blood in the palm of his left hand, but the direction in which the intestines were pulled out was obviously towards the right.

Why is this so?

He thought over and over again about the scene when he entered Haitang Courtyard that day, and suddenly he understood why the youngest son of the Zheng family had blood on the palm of his left hand.

Because he was holding the knife in his right hand, his lower abdomen was injured and he could only cover it with his left hand.

But the problem came again.

Since it was definitely not his left hand, how did the youngest son of the Zheng family pull out his own intestines without any blood on his right hand?

This is impossible to do.

If he hadn't pulled it out, who would have pulled out his intestines?

and also……

Was that half piece of cowhide really stuffed in by the youngest son of the Zheng family?
Thinking of this, Chen Pi broke into a cold sweat.

"While I was sweating, I thought of the second strange thing."

Yan Sanhe: "Where is it?"

Chen Pi licked his chapped lips: "It's the burned female corpse."

Yan Sanhe: "Big one, small one?"

Chen Pi: "The big one."

mother?
Xie Zhifei's eardrum was suddenly hit by something. It not only hurt, but also made a buzzing sound.

Why is there something strange about my mother's body?

If there is something fishy, ​​shouldn't it be Huaiyou's body?
He stared at Chen Pi and burst out word by word.

"What's so strange about the big female corpse?"

"The two burned corpses were on the bed in the west wing. The younger one was lying inside and the older one was lying outside. The fire obviously started from the head of the bed, so the older one's feet were not burned."

Xie Zhifei gritted his teeth and his voice trembled: "Is there something strange on her feet?"

"Yes."

Chen Pi closed his eyes and seemed to be recalling the scene at that time.

"The insteps of those feet are clean, but the soles are dirty."

"What, what do you mean?" Xie Zhifei felt like his heart was clutching at something.

"I, I don't know..."

Chen Pi became a little incoherent again: "I, I, I just feel something is wrong. Why is it... just... dirty?"

A burnt corpse, but the feet were white and tender. This strong visual impact made Chen Pi pay special attention to these feet.

People who do white things are divided into men and women.

Men gather corpses for men;
Women collect corpses for women.

Unless there are special circumstances, this is the rule.

I don’t know what those officials thought, but Haitang Courtyard sent him alone.

Therefore, these are the only women's feet he has seen since he became an adult.When he wiped it with clean water, he found that the soles of the woman's feet were very dirty, not only stained with dust, but also a piece of mud.

"I thought at the time, it's so strange. Didn't this woman sleep with her daughter in her arms? Why are her feet still dirty?"

Xie Zhifei suddenly froze.

The strange thing doesn't stop here. My mother has never liked Huaiyou very much. She rarely even goes to her room, let alone mother and daughter sleeping in the same bed.

July [-]th is his and Huaiyou's birthday.

In order to celebrate their birthday, Dad personally went to the restaurant and brought back more than a dozen delicious dishes, and also bought many sweet and sour preserves for Huaiyou.

Huaiyou also stuffed one into his mouth, almost breaking his teeth.

This is the real reason why the four people in Haitangyuan were not intoxicated by the Menghan medicine - they did not eat the food in the mansion.

The birthday party for four people was very warm.

After eating, Dad walked with Mom in the front yard to eat. He and Huaiyou went to the backyard. He planned to catch a few fireflies for her and put them in the tent.

He came back empty-handed and only caught a few crickets. Huaiyou was so disgusted that he curled his lips at him and went back to his room to sleep.

This girl must go to bed after the second watch, unshakable.

He teased her for a while beside the bed. Seeing that she was really sleepy, he returned to his room.

In the middle of the night, he was woken up by a pee, and when he woke up he found that the lamp was still lit in his mother's room.

Why don't you sleep yet?

After he peed, he went to his mother's room. He turned his head and found that the door was open and his father was standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, his back as silent as a mountain.

By coincidence, he walked over.

Dad heard the footsteps and turned around and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"Woke up from peeing."

"Go to sleep, don't step on the quilt at night, be careful of catching a cold."

"Oh!"

He wanted to turn around, but for some reason, his father's silent back like a mountain pressed heavily on his heart.

"Dad, when I master my kung fu, I will give you a try."

Dad was stunned for a moment, then smiled in his eyes, "Okay!"

When he saw his father smiling, he left with confidence, but after taking a few steps, there was movement behind him.

He turned around and saw his father rushing to the weapons rack, reaching for the sword and rushing out of the courtyard.

He was practicing martial arts with his father when he was three years old. He had never seen his father rush so fast, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Could it be that something happened ahead?

He was no longer sleepy. He went to the weapon rack and picked up his knife, then chased after him with the knife in hand.

As soon as they left, only Niang and Huaiyou were left in Haitang Courtyard.

He remembered clearly that his mother was clearly in his room, so why did she end up on Huaiyou's bed, still barefoot?
Xie Zhifei's Adam's apple slid, "She probably discovered that there was a fire in her daughter's room for some reason, and in desperation..."

"This mother and daughter were obviously killed in their sleep!"

"Killed?"

Xie Zhifei's voice broke, "Why are you so sure?"

Chen Pi: "The mother and daughter were lying there, with no trace of movement or struggle."

Xie Zhifei's heartbeat was pounding, "Where is the fatal wound? Was it a knife? A sword? Or a dagger?"

"The wound was in the neck, with a knife."

Chen Pi: "I felt it out as soon as I touched it. The body was burnt and dark, so it was hard to see clearly."

There was no trace of blood on Xie Zhifei's face, which was paler than Yan Sanhe's.

There was nothing written on the case file, only the sentence "burn to death".

Only this sentence! ! !
