The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

Xie Shuting learned that Xie Tingwen had already prepared the private school house, so she took Lian Xi and Song Zhen to check it out. As soon as they arrived at the door of the house, they felt a cool breeze coming.

Xie Shuting couldn't help but frown, and then asked Lian Xi to inquire about the origin of Zhang's house. Fortunately, Song Zhen knew that they would be stationed in Laigu County, so he found out some things in the county early on.

Among them, it was about the reasons why Zhang's house was sealed and why Zhang's house fell into decline. After Xie Shuting learned the reasons, she obviously felt that there seemed to be a secret, so she decided to visit Zhang's house in person.

After touring Zhang's house, the group found nothing wrong, but Xie Shuting discovered something fishy in a flower garden. Based on his experience as a graduate of an agricultural university in his previous life, he knew there must be something fishy going on under the flower garden.

Immediately! He ordered Song Zhen to arrange for people to dig in the flowerbed. As the soil was turned over, a foul smelling wind blew in.

Xie Shuting's expression was startled, and she immediately felt something was wrong and said, "Stop it."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhen hurriedly signaled to the escorts to stop, and then followed Xie Shuting to check. At this moment, he was also feeling a little uneasy.

Xie Shuting walked to the dug soil, picked up a branch on the ground and fiddled with it a few times. Looking at the white bones wrapped in the soil, his heart instantly rose to his throat.

"Send someone to the county government office immediately to invite father to come, and bring the coroner with him. I'm afraid this house is more complicated than I imagined."

"You, go to the county government office immediately to report to Lord Xie." Song Zhen casually assigned an escort.

The escort did not dare to delay and rode quickly to the county government office, while Xie Shuting stayed where she was, looking at the exposed bones and thinking about countermeasures.

About an incense stick's time later, Xie Tingwen arrived with the coroner and a group of yamen runners. Of course, they were accompanied by an old acquaintance, Sun Cheng, the head of the Criminal Court.

"Hello, Miss!" Sun Cheng stroked his hand and said.

Xie Shuting bowed in return, then looked at Xie Tingwen and said, "Father! There are bodies hidden under this flower garden, and there are so many of them, I'm afraid this is a big case."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen frowned in doubt, and after glancing at the flowerbed, he saw the problem. He then ordered, "Go and level the flowerbed for me, and dig three feet deep to see how many bodies there are."

"Yes!" the yamen runners responded and started digging from the flower bed.

Their excavation techniques were more professional than those of the escorts, and they were gradual and orderly. Xie Shuting took a look and couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Why does it feel like archaeology?"

"Archaeology?" Xie Tingwen couldn't help but ask.

Xie Shuting knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly took a step back and did not dare to make any more judgments. Instead, she glanced at the yamen runners and began to figure out their intentions.

She wanted to open a private school, but among so many places in Laigu County, she chose Zhang's house. And she accidentally uncovered the case of Zhang's house.

The murderer had no time to cover up and it was impossible for him to make his weakness known to the public. The only explanation is that the person who knew about it must be among this group of yamen runners, or in other words, inside the county government office.

The bones were taken out one by one, and after the coroner examined them carefully, a hint of doubt suddenly appeared on his originally calm face.

"Sir! These bones look like they were killed by some blunt weapon, and one of the bodies has been in skeleton form for at least five years." The coroner leaned over and said.

"Bones from five years ago?" Xie Tingwen glanced at the other bodies in doubt and asked in a cold voice, "Can the time of death be inferred from the other bodies?"

"This!~"

The coroner glanced at the corpse with a puzzled look, then grabbed a handful of dirt around the corpse and smelled it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"My Lord! These bones were formed over a period of no more than a year, or perhaps half a year. I cannot tell the exact time because corpse powder was added when the bodies were buried."

"Corpse powder? Isn't this thing only available in the underworld?" Song Zhen said at an inappropriate time.

Xie Tingwen only noticed the other party at this moment, but because he was protected by the Fuwei Escort Agency when he took office, he did not reprimand the other party.

Xie Shuting glanced at the corpse, and then looked at every corner of Zhang's house. The small courtyard was in her sight.

As the layout of the yard emerged in her mind, she felt a little uneasy, realizing that this matter might not be as simple as she had imagined.

"Father! There are so many corpses in this Zhang residence. I'm afraid it must be hiding some big secrets."

"Yeah!~"

Xie Tingwen nodded, agreeing with Xie Shuting's opinion, and then raised his hand and waved, "Come here! Search Zhang's house thoroughly, and don't let me miss any clues."

"Yes!" the yamen runners echoed.

Dozens of figures quickly rushed into the courtyards of Zhang's house and began to search through the drawers and cabinets. Accompanied by the sound of "crackling", Zhang's house seemed to be undergoing a house search.

After a while of searching, the noise in the room became quieter and quieter, and all the bones in the flower garden were taken out. After the coroner conducted an examination, he wrote it down in the autopsy record and submitted it to Xie Tingmin.

Looking at the autopsy record in his hand, Xie Tingwen couldn't help but frown and said, "There are 18 skeletons, 14 adults, 3 children, and one person over 60 years old. All of them died from blunt force weapons. How much hatred does Zhang Lei have for the murderer?"

Xie Shuting also showed a trace of confusion on her face. She took the autopsy record and glanced at it. What she was concerned about was not the age of the corpse but the gender.

Seeing that nine out of the fourteen people recorded in the autopsy records were girls, Xie Shuting's face darkened as if she had grasped something.

But for now, she had too little information to get a full picture of the case. After handing the autopsy record to Xie Tingwen, she slowly walked into the main hall of Zhang's house.

At this time, the main hall had been turned into a mess by the yamen runners, and all kinds of items were thrown on the ground at random, making it impossible to find a place to stay.

Xie Shuting stood in the main hall and glanced around the room. She realized that no matter how hard she searched, she would not be able to find any clues.

"Hey!~"

She sighed and was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly attracted by a spirit tablet on the ground. On the tablet was written "Jiang's Spirit Tablet".

It is not specified on the spirit tablet whether it is "the late father" or "the late mother". This kind of spirit tablet is either intentionally concealing something, or the other party is afraid of something.

She slowly squatted down and gently picked up the spirit tablet. The dust on it stained her fingers, but she didn't care at all. However, the moment she got the spirit tablet, she felt that there was something else behind it.

Xie Shuting gently flipped through the spirit tablet, pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked into the courtyard, shouting at Song Zhen, "Chop it open."

Song Zhen subconsciously swung his sword, and there was a loud bang. The black spirit tablet instantly broke into pieces, and then a small book fell out of the spirit tablet.

"There really is a mystery." Xie Shuting secretly rejoiced.

Everyone had already been attracted by the scene before them, and they all came towards Xie Shuting. Xie Shuting casually flipped through the book, and a look of fear suddenly appeared on her face.
