How to work

During the long bone examination time, everyone behaved differently.

Some people's eyes are full of hope, waiting patiently, looking forward to Lu Li's final miracle, such as Shen Wansha, Zhao Zhu, He Lianyu, Wen Qi...

Some people's eyes flickered, hoping that Lu Li could find nothing, and lost face, just to give them a chance to express themselves, such as Bai Shi, Zhuo Xiuyuan, Wen Rang...

Most people in Jianghu hope for results, because the atmosphere at the scene is too exciting, and there are not many opportunities to experience such events in person.

So even if the time is a little longer, some people feel a little tired, but everyone is still very excited.Seeing that Lu Li suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, the clear pupils of his eyes were filled with light, as if there were stars shining——

Everyone cheered up, here we come!

Little Mister found something!

Shen Wansha was the most impatient, and jumped to Lu Li's side, "Little Li, do you know! The cause of the deceased's death!"

"Well! I see!" Lu Li raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

Zhao Zhu snatched the handkerchief from Hu Weiwei and wiped the sweat off Lu Li's forehead.

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, his bright eyes were full of joy, "Zhao Zhu, I know how the old castle master died!"

"Well, don't worry, take your time."

Lu Li raised his face and let Zhao Zhu wipe his sweat away, his bright black pupils were full of Zhao Zhu's figure.The height and shape of the two people are quite different, but their appearance and temperament are both good. The atmosphere is harmonious and tacit. Under the bright candlelight, this scene is as beautiful as a clear ink painting.

It wasn't until Zhao Zhu finished wiping Lu Li's sweat, and his slightly rough fingers caressed his smooth cheeks, that Lu Li blinked, stepped back half a step, adjusted his expression and returned to the bones.

"The deceased's bones are complete and there are no obvious injuries. It seems that the cause of death cannot be identified, but," Lu Li picked up the humerus from the corpse and showed it to the people in the room, "Everyone, please look at—"

He pointed to the glenoid above the humerus, "Here, like a suction cup, is an important part of the human body to grow cartilage and increase joint stability. All large joints have such a structure, and it should be round and smooth... "

"But if you look closely, you will find that the joints of the old castle owner, ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders, almost every part, has signs of damage—please take a look."

Lu Li showed the deceased's arm bones and leg bones to the people present for observation, pointing out the location of the contusion.

Soon, everyone understood Lu Li's meaning, but they still didn't understand the cause of the old castle owner's death.

"Generally speaking, joint dislocations don't kill people, and the performance of some abrasions on the bones is not even obvious. However, if most of the joints of the body are contused and dislocated like the old castle master, it is not easy."

The bruises on the bones and joints of the deceased were similar. These injuries should have been formed at the same time. Even if they were not at the same time, the time interval would not be too long...

Lu Li's face was solemn and his voice was low, "Before the old castle master died, he experienced severe pain."

Listening to Lu Li's analysis, everyone present couldn't help gasping. All the joints on the arms, waist, and legs were dislocated at the same time. Just by imagining, you can guess how painful it is...

"But—" Wen Qi's eyes contained grief and indignation, "My father knows martial arts."

"So there are not many people who can hurt the old castle master like this." Lu Li glanced at the people in the room, "It must be able to restrain the old castle master."

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.The old castle master of Wenjiabao is a figure in the Jianghu. His own martial arts are good and his influence is not small. At that time, the situation in Daxia was very chaotic. Needless to say, there must be many guards around him. It is very difficult to restrain him... It is very difficult. Will there be one here? ?

Zhuo Xiuyuan stroked his beard and interjected, with a gloomy voice, "After talking for a long time, don't you still not know how the old castle master died? If you can't find out the cause of death, find out the murderer, and avenge the old castle master, we will gather together What's the point here?"

"Master Zhuo, don't worry, I can see it." Lu Li turned to Zhao Zhu with clear eyes, "I remember you once told me about the punishment of asking for a confession."

Zhao Zhu used his gaze to describe Lu Li's facial features, "...Which one?"

"Four hooves gathered upside down."

Zhao Zhu fixed his gaze, "Oh, that."

Shen Wansha didn't understand, and asked hastily, "What is it?"

Lu Li explained, "It is to tie the wrists and ankles behind the back and hang them face down from a high place."

"Ah..." Shen Wansha covered her mouth with her small hand, and frowned, "It must be very painful!"

"Yes, people who are hung like this, the joints, skin, muscles and bones of the limbs, waist and hips are squeezed and stretched, which is very painful." Lu Li glanced at Zhao Zhu and continued to explain, "This method is mostly used to extract confessions. If tortured If the perpetrator does not open his mouth, the perpetrator can pull the rope to a high place, let go of it suddenly and let it fall, and stop suddenly when it is close to the ground; or tie a heavy object around the waist, so that the joints will not only be squeezed and twisted, but will be pulled and dislocated .”

"If the weight around the waist is too heavy, it is normal for the victim's bones to shatter, the belly to burst open, and the internal organs to overflow."

Shen Wansha didn't understand again, "But you said that the bones of the deceased were not broken..."

"The old castle owner should have passed away before this." Lu Li explained, "The old castle owner is old, and his body organs are not as strong as the young man's. Hanging him for such a long time may cause cerebral congestion. , suffocated to death."

Lu Li said and looked at Wen Qi, "The old castle master was subjected to this torture, probably his martial arts had been suppressed at that time, and the old man in his 50s was hung like this, so he couldn't last long...Because of the long time, the body's skin and flesh have been decomposed There is no evidence to support the cause of death due to cerebral congestion and asphyxia, but judging from its symptoms, it is mostly true.”

Wen Qi clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were red, "Who did it! Who is it!"

There was silence in the hall, and no one answered.

Everyone looked at the angry Wen Qi for a while, recalled what happened at the beginning, and guessed who did it; then looked at Lu Li, this skill is too powerful!Peeping Leopards in the Tube can clearly see the details, today is really an eye-opener!

Shen Wansha lifted his chin, and looked around arrogantly, especially the pig-faced one, the uncle named Zhuo, and the uncle named Wen.

See it, see it all!It's useless for you to use any tricks or clever tricks, my little Lizi is just that powerful!Before you want to provoke, polish your tricks first, don't just run out and embarrass yourself!

Zhao Zhu helped Lu Li take off the autopsy blouse, and glanced at Wen Qi indifferently, "What did your father hide?"

As soon as he said this, everyone's thinking was immediately expanded.

That's right, since it is a punishment for extorting a confession, there must be something to ask.What kind of treasure is the old castle owner holding in his hand for others to covet?

After the death of the old castle owner, the Wenjiabao was in chaos for a while between the sons and the second and third leaders in the castle. When Wen Qi came back, the castle returned to life. Wenjiabao's status in the world has always been Not low.

The old castle master is a smart man with martial arts skills and subordinates. At that time, he held a hero meeting in his own land. Who can stop him? What method did he use?

This person must not be simple.

To allow others to take risks on Wenjiabao's territory, and to kidnap and torture the master... What the old master of the castle is holding must not be a simple thing.

"In any case, the body of the old castle master has been replaced." Lu Li stood with his hands tied, his brows and eyes full of thought, "It wasn't because he was insane, when Ruan Ying's mother found out, it was before and after the burial."

Wen Jiuxian thought about it for a moment, then bowed and replied, "After the old castle owner was buried, the family invited monks to perform ceremonies, and sent several people to guard the tomb. They have been working day and night for two full years. It is impossible to change after the burial. It should be before the burial."

"Then, it's before and after the insanity." Is the insanity real, or is it someone else's deliberate trick?

Wen Jiuxian sighed, "It's a pity that the old castle master rested alone in the room that night, and didn't let anyone come forward. No one saw what happened."

"No, there is." Lu Li looked towards the wall on the east side of the hall.

Today's bone test, Ruan Ying is also there.

He had told Lu Li before that on the night of the old castle owner's accident, he went to the garden near the waterside pavilion to find his mother, but was beaten unconscious.

Wen Jiuxian followed Lu Li's line of sight, looking surprised, "Ruan Ying?"

Wen Qi also turned his head to look over, frowning tightly, "What are you doing here?"

Seeing that she was discovered, Ruan Ying stood up boldly and walked in front of the people, with a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyebrows, "I want to know, the old castle master... what happened to him?"

The body of the old castle owner was invited out, and Mr. Wu Zuo performed a bone test to reveal his experiences before his death. There were also many people from the world to testify at the scene. It seems...it is time.

Ruan Ying looked at Wen Qi quietly, "I went to the garden and approached the waterside pavilion the night the old castle master passed away."

When he said this, the scene fell silent, and everyone reacted differently.

Some were surprised, some were puzzled, and some murderous intent burst forth instantly...

Lu Li stood aside and saw everyone's expressions clearly.

Ruan Ying is quite decisive, she doesn't say anything, once she makes a decision, she won't back down.

He moved his eyes away from Wen Qi and scanned the people in the hall, "I suddenly wanted to find my mother that night, so I quietly entered the garden and walked towards the waterside pavilion of the old castle owner, but I will walk to the rockery, the back of my head Sudden pain, and was knocked out. When I woke up, I was in the room of the servant girl Chun Xing."

At that time, Chun Xing only said that she had finished her errands and returned to the servant's room. After seeing the rockery, Ruan Ying fainted and took him back to the room.Ruan Ying asked Chun Xing if she saw who knocked him out. Chun Xing paused for a while, but didn't answer directly, and warned him that there was chaos in Zhuangzi recently, and there were many people in the Jianghu, so he should not cause trouble.

Although the Ruan family was highly valued by the Wen family, they were servants and foreign surnames. They were afraid of being taboo. Ruan Ying listened to Chun Xing's persuasion and stopped thinking about it.

But the next day, Ruan Yingniang found out about the death of the old castle owner. Ruan Ying was so nervous that she went to look for Chun Xing, who was also stunned.Chun Xing was so nervous that she told Ruan Ying that she actually saw it last night. She saw what the person who stunned Ruan Ying looked like. She didn't know him, he was a stranger.

The timing of this incident was subtle, and it seemed to be related to the death of the old castle owner, but they didn't know more. After struggling and discussing, the two decided to tell the owner about it.No matter what, they were from the Wenjiabao. If the old castle owner really died because of this, at least they could let the deceased die in peace.

Unexpectedly, once the old castle owner died, the castle immediately became chaotic. Everyone wanted to be the new owner, and there was no one in charge. They wanted to talk, but they didn't know who to listen to...

Until Wen Qi came back.

But after Wen Qi came back, his personality changed a lot. He was no longer as humble as before. He became indifferent, violent and murderous without blinking an eye. The two of them dared not mention this matter. manage?

Chun Xing absolutely refused to talk about it. Ruan Ying and Wen Qi had a gap at this time, and she didn't want to talk about it. She just buried this matter in her heart, hoping that one day the opportunity would come, and she could find out what happened back then.

Then came the hero meeting.

The night Ruan Ying fell into the water, Chun Xing did go to him, with a terrified expression, she said that she saw the person who attacked Ruan Ying back then.Ruan Ying comforted her, asked her to calm down, and asked her if she knew who that person was.

Chun Xing said that she only saw the man's face from a distance, a little older than a few years, but still very young, but she still didn't know who he was.Ruan Ying then told Chun Xing to calm down and not to show expressions on her face, otherwise, if someone noticed, disaster might happen.

Everything, wait until that person reappears and understand his identity.

After persuading Chun Xing to go back, Ruan Ying couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she simply walked into the garden where the accident happened again, trying to recall and see if she could remember anything.

He always felt as if he saw something before he was knocked out, and the information was fluctuating in his mind, but he just couldn't remember it.

He had something on his mind, so he walked carelessly, didn't pay attention to the movement around him, and was accidentally pushed into the lake...

"I always feel that Chun Xing's death may have something to do with what happened back then." Ruan Ying's eyes drooped slightly, "Maybe she met a young man she met back then, and she showed her flaws, and was murdered to silence her."

This shocking news shocked everyone, the death of the old castle owner actually had such a secret!

Wen Qi stared at Ruan Ying, gritted his teeth, "Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"I told you earlier, would you believe it?" Ruan Ying smiled wryly, "You would think I was playing tricks."

Wen Qi was startled.

Indeed, the trust between them was broken when he unexpectedly left home many years ago...

Shen Wansha's big eyes flickered, and he didn't understand, "You are in the dark, others are in the light, and it's like killing you, why did you let you live until now?"

Lu Li thought for a while, then turned his head and said to him, "Maybe the other party thinks that Ruan Ying and the two of them didn't see much, and they didn't pose much threat to their affairs; or the situation at that time did not allow killing people, and killing people would be a bad thing; or, The other party stayed in the village at that time, secretly monitoring Ruan Ying and the other two, seeing that they did not affect the overall situation, so it is better to have one more thing than one less..."

"Or maybe they didn't see Ruan Ying's face clearly!" Shen Wansha caressed, his eyes sparkling, "Is that night, the bad guys were doing bad things, and when they heard human voices, they immediately knocked people out out of guilt, but the bad guys I’m still working on my work, so I wanted to finish the work first, and then come back to clean up the people, but when I came back, the people were gone!”

"Then at the hero meeting, Chun Xing saw the bad guy and came to find Ruan Ying again, but was discovered by the bad guy. The bad guy looked around and saw him doing bad things before, so he pushed Ruan Ying away. In the lake..."

Lu Li nodded lightly, there is also the possibility of what the young master said.

Wen Qi's eyes left Ruan Ying, and swept across the people in the hall, his eyes were sometimes ruthless and sometimes gloomy.For this hero meeting, he wanted to open the coffin for an autopsy, so he invited many people who had participated in his father's hero meeting at the same time. Did these people see anything... Or, the person who killed his father was... Not right here!

"Ruan Ying," Lu Li looked at Ruan Ying with gentle eyes, "You said what you should have seen that night, but you can't remember it?"

Ruan Ying nodded, "Yes."

"You can try to think about it, have you inadvertently seen eye-catching things, such as bright colors, strange dresses; have you smelled special smells, heard words that you don't often hear?"

Ruan Ying's eyebrows drooped slightly, her eyelids trembled, and she tried to recall, "It's not common... eye-catching... Ah yes, I remembered!"

"I seem to see a beard! That man has a well-groomed beard!"

As soon as Ruan Ying's voice fell, Wen Qi's murderous eyes fell on Zhuo Xiuyuan, "Uncle Zhuo."

Zhuo Xiuyuan moved his eyes slightly, with a friendly smile on his face, "Why is my nephew looking at me like this?"

Wen Qi's voice was cold, "Among our group, you are the only one with a beautiful beard."

Zhuo Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Nephew, is this trying to doubt me? Your father and I are life-and-death friends who survived bloody battles together."

"The friendship between life and death...but I didn't leave a single thing in memory of the deceased, and I still have to ask me, a junior, for it—" Wen Qi's eyebrows were full of hostility, "I'm afraid what Uncle Zhuo wants is not just thinking about it." .”

From the very beginning, Wen Qi didn't like this person who approached him under the guise of his father's best friend, and he didn't know why.His father has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he has made many friends, and there are senior elders who kindly teach him how to do things. He is not disgusted, but towards Zhuo Xiuyuan, he subconsciously takes precautions.

He didn't understand before, that's why.

His broad-minded and unparalleled father may have been harmed by Zhuo Xiuyuan!

"Nephew speaks with evidence." Zhuo Xiuyuan seemed to be angry too, his voice was cold, "If I killed your father, why are you so enthusiastic and asked Bai Xiaoyou to help you find out your father's death? I But I look forward to finding out the truth and letting your father rest in peace."

Wen Qi glanced at Bai Shi.

Bai Shimi clenched his hands under the fence, his heart was beating wildly, the opportunity came!

I saw him staggering twice, as if he couldn't stand, his voice was broken, full of sadness and disappointment, "So it's so... so it's so... I said, Uncle Zhuo, why would you let me do this..."

Wen Qi heard the key words and immediately asked, "What did he ask you to do?"

"Let me...be sure to show my talent as a craftsman. The owner of the castle prefers to preside over the exhumation and autopsy. He also said that the corpse has been dead for many years, and it doesn't matter if it can't be tested..." Bai Shi seemed to understand, "No wonder he keeps mentioning King Ping... The matter with me was originally intended to force the castle master to agree to open the coffin for an autopsy, and the castle master has what he wants here..."

Before Zhuo Xiuyuan could refute, his son Zhuo Ziang jumped out first, pointed at Bai Shi and scolded, "You fart! You said that you have already made love to King Ping, and King Ping will marry you soon, my father Only then will I believe you!"

Bai Shi's voice was fragile and aggrieved, as if he was crying, "You...how can you say that! It's obvious that you guys are talking about this matter in order to achieve something, regardless of my own wishes, and are exaggerating to the fullest!"

He turned his head to Zhao Zhu's direction, and then slowly turned back, his voice shy and timid, "I like Prince Ping, I admit it, but the prince is a cloud in the sky, and I am the mud on the ground, I only dare to have a heart of reverence. I dare not have any unreasonable thoughts, because I know that I am not worthy. I can speak out my feelings in front of others, but I never dare to say anything false about the prince!"

As he spoke, he took two steps in the direction of Zhao Zhu, held back again, and couldn't help bowing softly, "Please believe me, my lord!" Even his voice was so mellow and pitiful that one couldn't bear to refuse.

At this moment, Zhao Zhu felt that Lu Li was suddenly far away from him.The warmth in the daughter-in-law's clear eyes faded, and a faint alienation permeated.

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips curled up slightly, he thought he understood why Lu Li would be at odds with him when they reunited...

Zhuo Ziang snorted, "You can pull it off! The whole capital city knows that King Ping has an affair with you, and you didn't make it up. Could it be that someone else made it up after they were full? "

"It's all a misunderstanding..."

"Other people misunderstood, you can't explain? I think you are enjoying it, you are very beautiful! It's the same here, when my father mentions King Ping, you just blushed in shame and silently acquiesced. How dare you say that you were forced by us?" Zhuo Ziang snorted coldly, "Before you were good with us, you were like one person. Now that your condition is not good, you immediately change your mouth and bite others. When I say it bluntly, you are not a very good person."

Bai Shi trembled, and wept softly, "If you didn't threaten my family's life, how could I be with you..."

"You surnamed Bai, don't spread rumors! We are not gangsters, so we can't do such things as forcing people into prostitution!"

"If you are good people, how could you take advantage of your friendship and take advantage of old Castle Master Wen not to be on guard against you, to commit such a black hand!"

……

The two people quarreled face to face, and the amount of information exposed was astonishing, and everyone listened with gusto.

"Hahaha——" Shen Wansha couldn't straighten up laughing again, "So it was a dog biting a dog! You are not bad, you dare to look like King Ping..."

Following his voice, He Lianyu flicked his hand, secretly knocking down the fence on Bai Shi's head, and Bai Shi's pig-headed face was immediately exposed in front of everyone.

Everyone's eyeballs are about to fall out, is this ugly guy that beautiful little Mr. Bai?

Bai Shi screamed, fell to the ground, covered his face with his head on his back, and wept softly, "My lord, don't look... Please don't look, lord!"

"Hahaha——" Shen Wansha laughed out of breath, pointing at Zhao Zhu, "Prince Ping, I beg you to take pity on me!"
