Zhong Chu suddenly felt a huge pressure, she tore off a corner of her clothes, covered her mouth and nose, and squatted in front of the deceased, staring intently at the lifeless face.After a while, he closed his eyes again, searching for a similar one from the various facial features stored in his brain!
A room full of people held their breath and stared, for fear of disturbing Zhong Chu's train of thought.It wasn't until a long time later that Zhong Chu suddenly became agitated and exclaimed, "How could it be him!"
”"Who is it?"
Everyone asked in unison.Zhong Chu said: "On the day when the envoys of Fanbang entered Beijing, I was escorted to Dali Temple by General Li, and met a sloppy man on the way, like drunk, and seemed to be delirious, and there was a match in his mouth singing folk songs, I was afraid that he would cause trouble by colliding with the official, and reminded him to walk carefully, he turned back and smiled at me, although his face was dirty and he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but the facial features were very similar to the deceased. ”"Achu, are you sure that the deceased is the person you saw?"
Long Xingtu frowned, "With your eyesight, what kind of identity do you think he is?"
”Zhong Chu clasped his hands around his chest and said in an accentuated tone: "That person was the last person I saw before I entered the cell of Dali Temple, and he was extremely impressed.Based on my experience of walking the rivers and lakes, that man should have been a homeless man who had wandered to the capital from other places, because when he appeared, no one knew him except for disgust and avoidance. ”"Okay, later, I'll call Zhongli to come over and identify the body.""
By the way, I can be sure that the deceased is a foreigner, because the accent of his singing folk songs is definitely not from the capital.""
Do you remember the ballad?""
I want to think about it."
Zhong Chu paced in place, and after a while, his voice cleared, but he said, "I'm a little thirsty." ”Jingzhou Mansion Yin hurriedly shouted: "Come on, serve tea!"
”Long Xingtu was speechless, this girl would really take the opportunity to "be powerful"!
Soon, each person had a bowl of tea, and Zhong Chu said while drinking: "The folk song is sung, although I am not as good as Zhong Li's ventriloquist ability, but I don't forget the ability to forget it, I think it's good, you guys listen to it!"
”"I'll hear you!""
South Mountain North, North Stone Bridge, ducks quacking under the bridge; The bell rings, the jingle bell, the sister sings the song to sell medicine......" a few simple words, Zhong Chu learned the accent of the deceased, and sang it twice, and the officials were excited, "Great!"
Based on the accent, we can find out where the deceased came from and open a breakthrough in the case!
”Yin Guan, the official of Jingzhou Mansion, raised his sleeves, "Come on, please come over!"
”The next person was busy inviting someone.Jingzhou Mansion Yin turned to everyone and explained: "Master Hu of this official mansion is proficient in many languages across the country, please listen to Master Hu, and you will know." ”Long Xingtu was silent in thought.Master Hu came quickly, and after seeing each other, he asked Zhong Chu to sing again, Master Hu listened carefully, and then said: "My lords, this is Fengyang dialect!"
”The dragon star map was like a cold star, "Are you sure?"
”Master Hu affirmed: "Yes, the villain is sure!"
Although Fengyang dialect is not easy to understand, the pronunciation of individual words is different from other places, so it is easy to recognize. ”More and more clues point directly to Fengyang, Ye Hai, the maid, and the anonymous, what kind of relationship exists between these three people?
The dragon star map fell into deep thought.After a while, she instructed: "Lord Fu Yin, please prepare pen and ink."
Zhong Chu, you give me a copy of the ballad. ”After Zhong Chu finished handing it over to Long Xingtu, she attached her ear to Zhong Chu and whispered: "You go back to the hotel to inform Zhong Li, let him come to the mansion in the afternoon to confirm the deceased, and then from tonight, every time, you will pretend to be the deceased, imitate the accent of the deceased, and sing this ballad in the place where you were killed!"
”"Okay.""
In addition, you set off to Fengyang today to inquire about Ye Hai, the Handmaid and the Anonymous Clan, if the two Fanbang people have lived in Fengyang, they will definitely leave traces!
Just in case, you take Liu Zhutou and Song Dabao on a trip!
”"Okay, but I need to draw portraits of the trio."
Long Xingtu nodded, and then explained to Liu Yanzuo, "Prepare to clean the corpse."
First burn atractylodes and soaphorn to get rid of filth. ”"Yes!"
Liu Yanzuo agreed and hurriedly went to prepare.Zhong Chu looked at the deceased, remembered the smile he saw that day, and couldn't help but feel compassion, "Lord Fu Yin, can you allow me to personally fund the purchase of a set of shrouds for the deceased, and buy a good coffin to bury him?"
We finally have a one-sided relationship, talking about the heart. ”Jingzhou Mansion Yin Shen bowed, "Miss Zhong is chivalrous and kind, this official admires her!"
”The rest of the officials also agreed, and they were all impressed by the delicate and rude Zhong Chu.Liu Chengzuo was the most experienced coroner in the capital, but he didn't need to bother with Long Xingtu, he first spread a bamboo mat on the ground, and then took rattan paper as a corpse paper to spread on the bamboo mat, and then lifted the deceased who took off his underwear and put it on it.Long Xingtu took the dagger, disemboweled the deceased, and obtained the test results: "The deceased was indeed only stabbed once, and the murderer's knife technique was fast and accurate, judging from the degree of wound, the knife was at least seven inches long and about two inches wide."
Liu Chengzuo, first clean the face of the deceased. ”Liu Tongzuo first wiped the soap corner to wash the dirt and greasy on the deceased's face, and then rinsed it off with water to reveal the deceased's true face.Zhong Chu immediately spread out the rice paper, picked up the brush, and began to paint the portrait against the face of the deceased.She has been making human skin masks all year round, and her painting skills are very good, and the painting speed is also super fast, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to complete the task and leave with the painting.Long Xingtu immediately ordered: "Liu Yanzuo, you continue to clean the corpse."
After washing, wrap the corpse with heated sake lees and vinegar, cover the corpse tightly with clothes, pour the hot vinegar over it, and then cover it tightly with a straw mat for an hour.When the body is completely soft, remove the covering and rinse off the lees and vinegar with water. ”Liu Yanzuo understood as soon as he heard it, "Master Long suspects that the deceased has other injuries on his body?"
”"Routine, all possibilities are ruled out.""
Yes, the villain will do it immediately."
Liu Yanzuo then took off the deceased's underwear, and Long Xingtu turned his back without a trace, and said, "A few adults, let's take advantage of this free time to discuss the case." ”Jingzhou Mansion Yin said: "Master Long, my lords, let's go to the pavilion outside to drink tea and discuss, how about it?"
”"Please!"
A few people went out and took their seats in the pavilion.Dali Siqing couldn't hide his curiosity and asked, "Master Long, what errand did you arrange for Miss Zhong Chu?"
If it is related to solving the case, this official hopes to know!
”Long Xingtu took a sip of hot tea, "I do have a plan, but it is inconvenient to disclose it for the time being, so as not to achieve the expected effect and affect the progress of the case."
We hope you will understand. ”"Master Long doesn't trust this official?
Although you and others belong to different yamen, they all serve the national case, and no one dares to show favoritism when it comes to major matters related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries!
”Dali Siqing said unhappily.Zhao Shilang was also angry, "That's right, Master Long, how dare this official derelict his duties and leak secrets?"
It's chilling that you're hiding like this!
”
