Chapter 162 Murder Case

In the summer suburbs, there is an apricot forest. At the end of July, golden apricots hang on the branches, and the breeze blows, bringing out bursts of sweet and attractive fragrance.

This is supposed to be a relaxing place, but the occasional odor is mixed in, polluting the air that should be fresh.

It was early in the morning, and you could see smoke rising from cooking pots everywhere, along the winding path beside the apricot grove, and a few men on their way in a hurry.

One of them was urinating under the apricot tree. He was whistling and looking around. Inadvertently, his eyes were fixed on a patch of grass not far away. When he saw what it was, he was startled. He was so frightened that he peed halfway and quickly raised it. Pants ran to his companions, grabbed the sleeve of one of them, pointed in the direction where he just peed, and stammered, "Yes, yes, there are dead people, dead people..."

Dali Temple got the news immediately.

Qing Lin led people to quickly survey the scene, and then sent someone to ask Qin Changge to come in person. Qing Lin also said that a female widow was needed to do the work.

After saying this, Qin Changge knew that the case was not simple.

As a widower, he immediately thought of Hua Jianli.

On the outskirts of the city, a female corpse was lying in the grass next to the apricot grove. The person who discovered the deceased was a businessman who was out of town. He was in a hurry to relieve his urination. He accidentally found a human foot exposed in the grass. He stepped forward to investigate. Found out to be a person.

A naked woman was covered by two banana leaves, and the smell of corpses was faintly coming from under the leaves.

This is what Qin Changge saw when he brought Hua Jianli over. Many people who were entering or leaving the city had gathered around him.

Seeing the two people arriving, Qing Lin recounted the situation to them.

The more she listened, the more Hua Jianli frowned.

Originally, the death of one person was not worthy of Qin Changge's personal intervention. The problem was that the deceased was Zhang Suwan, the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital, and the woman in green who was causing trouble in Zuixian Tower. Yesterday, they were watching a play together in the Lihua Troupe. Coming.

Unexpectedly, when we meet again, she is already a corpse.

There are no signs of fighting or dragging here. It is initially judged that this is not a murder scene, but rather a place where the body was dumped after being killed.

The whole body of the deceased was covered with scars. You can imagine how tragic the battle situation was at that time.

"Go and have a look!" Qin Changge said to Hua Jianli.

"Oh."

Qing Lin had already asked people to pull up a curtain around the body. The curtain was connected by the clothes of the yamen servant. After all, she was a woman, and they still cared about the reputation of the deceased.

Hua Jianli lifted up the curtain and entered, and saw a woman lying on the ground with her long hair hanging loosely and her eyes closed tightly. He uncovered the banana leaves on the woman's body. Several flies flew away quickly, and the smell of corpses also hit his face...

The woman was very young, with a delicate face that still showed the unwillingness before death.

With the silver needle in hand, she quickly inserted it into the throat. The silver needle turned black and brought out impurities, indicating that her throat showed signs of poisoning and was rotten.

This is why the odor spreads quickly.

After searching Zhang Suwan's mouth, she found nothing. She initially suspected that the poison should be a gas that entered through the nasal cavity, so there was no trace left in her mouth, and she could not tell what kind of poison it was.

There were a few foreign objects scattered in the hair. Hua Jianli didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking they were grass clippings on the ground, but the next moment she realized something was wrong. In an instant, there were several more flies, hovering around the head of the corpse.

She picked up a dead leaf, gently picked up the foreign object on her hair, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, eh~

It's feces!

Then she went down and found a hard lump in the woman's lower abdomen.

There were large and small clear pinch marks on her body, and her lower body was clean. However, there were signs that she had been on good terms with Ren Yan during her lifetime, indicating that this woman was no longer innocent.

As for the lump in her abdomen, if she guessed correctly, it should be a newly formed fetus...

Killing for love was the first thing Hua Jianli thought of.

After another tea time, she covered it with banana leaves and walked out. “What have you discovered?” Qin Changge asked.

Hua Jianli said, "The deceased's pearls, hairpins, earrings and other valuables are still there. First of all, rule out the possibility of robbery! The body has started to smell. The time of death should be between the end of Haishi and the beginning of Zishi last night. Someone was raped during this period." Poison, her throat has been corroded. As for the poison, I haven’t been able to find out what kind of poison it is. I also found dander tissue in her nails..."

Qin Changge interrupted her statement, "Are you afraid?"

"what?"

"Are you afraid?" he asked again.

Then, she shook her head. She was a doctor herself and had seen countless dead people and corpses. She had long been used to it, but no one had ever asked her if she was afraid in these years.

At first, I was a little scared, but after more exposure, I became numb.

Besides, what harm can a corpse do? It is the "living ghosts" with ulterior motives that are frightening.

"Also..." Hua Jianli whispered, "She is pregnant. The murderer may be this person..."

In order to protect the reputation of the deceased, she did not tell everyone about the discovery, but only told Qin Changge and the master. The master was also shocked and quickly wrote Hua Jianli's narrative in the file.

Qin Changge stared at the flowers gradually leaving.

Immediately, Hua Jianli thought of something and glanced at the crowd.

"What are you looking at?" Qin Changge followed her gaze.

“According to statistics, some criminals will most likely appear at the crime scene, firstly to see if they have any flaws or leave anything behind that can reveal their identity, and secondly, to detect how strong their opponents are so that they can act more conveniently in the future. "

Qin Changge saw it in his eyes and heard it in his ears, and he was also surprised.

According to the statistics! Whose statistics?

The master was shocked, "You mean the murderer is among these people?"

The people around me looked at me and I looked at you, as if everyone was suspicious.

"Not entirely. As I said, nine times out of ten, not all murderers are like my analysis. Maybe the murderer does the opposite. We thought he would show up, but he just didn't show up."

"Oh?"

"The daughter of a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, with a flamboyant personality, entered into an engagement with the son of the editor of the Hanlin Academy years ago. Who would have thought that not long after, the young lady of the Zhang family would die here..." Master told what he knew. , "It stands to reason that Miss Zhang is a daughter of a famous family and has strict rules and etiquette. How could she..."

It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.

"A young lady from a big family is nothing more than that..."

"That's right, it's so shameless..." The women whispered to each other.

"It's really embarrassing and a disgrace to our ancestors..." One of the men, who was in his fifties, said angrily. After speaking, he sprinkled plant ash around, which was a method similar to disinfection.

Hua Jianli looked over and saw a short old man wearing gray patchwork clothes.

As soon as he spoke, people would echo him and say whatever he wanted.

"Such a woman should sink into the pond..."

"Yes, yes, Shen Tang, Shen Tang..."

Hua Jianli walked over and said, "Please be tolerant and respect the deceased."
