How to work

"Peach blossoms?" Shen Wansha leaned his head over to take a look, very surprised, "There are peach blossoms in this season?"

Peach trees like warmth, even if the weather in central Sichuan is humid and winter is not too cold, the peach blossoms will not bloom in the first month, no matter how early they have to wait until February, why are there now?

Lu Li's eyes slowed slightly, pointing to the edge of the petal, "Look carefully."

"Withered?" I heard that the corpse died on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and now it's fifteen years old. Isn't it normal for the petals to wither?Shen Wansha couldn't figure it out.

Lu Li shook his head and pointed at the petals, "If it's a fresh peach blossom, even if it withers, it shouldn't be so dark in color after being soaked in water, let alone the petals have such deep vertical lines..."

"I know, these are dried flowers! Dried flowers soaked in water!" Shen Wansha's eyes lit up, "Peach blossoms have many uses, such as brewing wine, making incense, grinding powder, and dressing up. The deceased was a brothel woman, so it's normal to have dried flowers !"

"It doesn't have to be hers." Lu Li sighed softly, closed the woman's fists, and beckoned the police to come over, "Send her to the morgue."

Shen Wansha twitched his brows, and winked at Lu Li: Why don't you try it yourself, don't let that Jingxing take too much advantage!

Lu Li waited for the policemen to carry the corpse away before he said softly, "The corpse is too wet to inspect, and more marks will appear after drying, and then the inspection will have the greatest harvest." He looked at Shen Wansha, Eyes blinked smartly, "My young master, don't worry, I promise not to let us suffer."

"Is that right?" Shen Wansha put his arm on Lu Li's shoulder, "We can eat anything, but we can't suffer!"

Zhao Zhu frowned, and pulled Lu Li away from Shen Wansha's arm, "Look at the scene."

Although this is not the scene of the crime, but the kindly burial place of the old bustard of the drunken red building, it is still necessary to investigate.Lu Li nodded and got down to business.

……

On the way back, Shen Wansha had a question, "Why don't we go to Zuihonglou and ask about the condition of the deceased?"

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, seeing Zhao Zhu nodding, he smiled happily, "Brother Zhao said that someone will send a message to the door soon, we can first examine the corpse, integrate the clues, and then ask for a confession."

"Ah?" Shen Wansha immediately looked around, "Is someone following us?"

He couldn't find it, so he glanced at Zhao Zhu.Zhao Zhu's expression was cold and arrogant, as usual, he couldn't see anyone except Lu Li.

Shen Wansha: ...

He looked at Lu Li again.

Lu Li blinked, leaned over as if to tell him, he immediately approached excitedly, and pricked up his ears.

"I won't tell you." Lu Li said these four words, and then smiled slyly at him. Shen Wansha immediately understood that he was being molested, and screamed and grabbed Lu Li to tickle him.

Lu Li actually didn't know, and Zhao Zhu didn't say anything specifically, but he believed in Zhao Zhu, and he also liked to tease Shen Wansha, and the two teenagers had a quarrel on the road.

Zhao Zhu: ...why have you been banned repeatedly!

The distance to the outskirts of the city was a bit far, and the three of Lu Li set off early in the morning, and it was too late to return to the city.Lu Li didn't want to do an autopsy at the same night as last time, wasting his eyes and mind, so he only rested for a while, ate something, and arrived at the morgue.

The body was carried all the way back, and the skin on her body was already dry, because she was only wearing a set of dresses, and the clothes were completely dry, and there was no wet place on her body except the place where her hair was curled up.Lu Li took a look, then opened the box and said, "Let's test it."

A policeman next to him stopped him, "But Mr. Jing hasn't arrived yet."

"Mr. Jing is busy, so we can do the autopsy. We are used to it, and there will be no omissions." Lu Li smiled with a little sarcasm, "Don't worry, if there is a need for an autopsy, I will let you do it Mr. Jing, don't make things difficult for you."

That person was a little embarrassed, "Sir, that's what you said... Sir, please, Mr. Jing's consent is required for whether the left and right autopsy items can be used as evidence, and Mr. Jing can do whatever he thinks he can, and the villain dare not stop him."

"That's good." Lu Li took out the atractylodes saponins and burned them, cleaned his hands, and when everything was ready, he walked to the corpse.

The woman on the mortuary table has smoky eyebrows, a cherry mouth, and long eyeliner. It is conceivable that she must have a pair of beautiful eyes, looking forward to shine.

Lu Li breathed out and stroked the woman's hair, "Is your name Chen Jiaojiao? Tell me what you have experienced..."

"Examination—corpse girl, pretty face, neat makeup, slightly dizzy..."

Lu Li untied and removed the dress from the body of the corpse. He saw that there were continuous stab wounds on her abdomen. He measured the length and depth of the wounds, and observed the blood around the wounds. Do the case with the same strength method.

The water on the corpse was completely dry, showing a strange paleness, and the wine and vinegar were applied slightly, revealing the scars on the body one by one.There were many bruises down the shoulders of the deceased, suspected pinch marks and hickey marks, especially on the chest.There were no traces of violation on the private parts of the lower body, and no semen spots on the body, but because the body was buried in water and the marks on the body were washed away, it cannot be judged that it was not molested.

Lu Li turned the body over and found that there were dark bruises on the back of the neck like Bi Yi's, which is very important.

If it is not a coincidence, the formation of this scar must be the key to the murderer subduing the two deceased.

Flat and round, wide at the top and narrow at the top, it looks like a blow wound like a wooden stick with a thick top and a thin bottom.

What was the murderer holding in his hand, and where did he subdue the two?

It is difficult to accurately determine the time of Chen Jiaojiao's death, but Bi Yi disappeared at dusk on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, before picking up the guests. During this time, there were very few outsiders in the building. What kind of weapon would the murderer hold so that no one would notice?Can he even take people out of the brothel in full view?

And this peach blossom... where did it come from?

Lu Li frowned remembering the smell when he first saw the corpse.He approached the dead man's head and bent down.

In order to smell the smell, he bent his body very low, and he was about to touch the corpse. Because the deceased was a beautiful woman, the degree of damage to the corpse was not too high, and he was a good-looking young man. As if he was going to kiss this woman.

Zhao Zhu raised his eyebrows immediately, but this time before he could do it himself, Lu Li had already straightened up, as if he had discovered something, his eyes were shining brightly, "Come and see, young master!"

Shen Wansha leaned over suspiciously, pointed at his nose, "Me?" He doesn't understand autopsy!

"You often go to the brothel, so you must be familiar with the girl's makeup. Do you think the deceased's makeup is a bit wrong?" Lu Li looked at him expectantly.

Shen Wansha: ...Young Master, you don't often go to brothels, do you?

But the big talk has been blown out long ago, and now it's too late to feel guilty, Shen Wansha bit the bullet and went over to look.Not to mention, he really saw the difference.

There is a mother in charge of the house, so it is impossible for him to go to the brothel often, but there are many maids in the house, and the mother is very generous, the little girls love to clean up, and he has seen a lot of women's makeup.I didn't pay attention to this corpse before, but now I take a closer look, the color of the rouge and lip balm on her face seems to be different?

Although the deceased was washed with water, the makeup on his face was blurred and became much lighter, but a careful observation will reveal this, which is very obvious.

Shen Wansha immediately pointed to the lips of the deceased, "Her rouge is orange, but her lips are pink!"

Lu Li nodded and looked at Shen Wansha, "A girl who loves beauty won't have such omissions, huh?" The makeup color must always be the same and harmonious.

Shen Wansha affirmed with a serious expression, "But any girl who is more particular will not be like this!"

Lu Li took out a Yupa, bent over and gently wiped the dead man's lips.

Although it is not obvious, it can still be found that after the thin pink is wiped off, there are orange traces on the corners of the deceased's lips. It is obvious that her lip balm was once orange, the same as the rouge on her cheeks.

This means...someone has touched up her makeup.

Smelling the towel closely, Lu Li found that this layer of pink lipstick smelled a little pungent, not as fresh as the scent of powder on the face of the deceased.To prevent it from being an illusion, he also asked several people in the room to smell it one by one, and most of them thought so, except Zhao Zhu.

It's not that Zhao Zhu disagreed, he didn't want to hear it at all, and his expression was as disgusting as it was.

"This corpse was restrained by the old bustard of the drunk red building, but the old bustard saw that her make-up was indecent, so she helped her fix it?" Shen Wansha scratched his chin, thinking of this person.Even if this person can restrain himself with kindness, it is also possible to tidy up his remains a little bit.

"Not necessarily." The brothel girl who died unexpectedly, no matter how soft-hearted the bustard is, she still has to think about her own business and the girls in the building. It is very likely that she will not move it back to wipe her body and restrain herself. Maybe she will just tidy it up in the back alley and move it directly. When you arrive at the water burial place, you can tell a thing or two by looking at the simple clothes on the body of the deceased who only have one set and are not shrouds.

"Who made it up for her? Could it be..."

Shen Wansha looked at Lu Li in horror, Lu Li narrowed his eyes slowly, his lips curled up, "Murderer."

"Where is Bi Yi's body!" Lu Li immediately asked the police to bring Bi Yi's body over, he thought he probably knew what he had overlooked at that time!

The morgue is connected to the autopsy room, and Bi Yi's body is in the third room from the left. The police quickly brought the body over. Lu Li hurried up to have a look, and then he understood.

Bi Yi's lip makeup has also been touched up, because the rouge on Bi Yi's cheeks is light red, he didn't pay attention at that time, but felt a little wrong when he smelled the pungent fragrance in the elegant makeup powder, but looking at it now, he understands it.

Due to unknown reasons, the deceased's lip makeup fell off, and the murderer touched up her makeup, and the time to touch up... probably after he killed the deceased.Yesterday Lu Li found a light red mark on the wall of the dark alley where Bi Yi died, perhaps it was left by the murderer accidentally when he was touching up the makeup of the deceased.

"Little Lizi, this smell... seems to be the fragrance of peach blossoms!" Shen Wansha sneezed, "It's just too pungent!"

Lu Li exhaled deeply.

Pink lip balm, dried peach blossom petals, peach blossom fragrance.

"The murderer we are looking for is still a romantic man." Lu Li's voice was sarcastic.

There were more and more clues, and the atmosphere in the room was a little relaxed. At this moment, Zhao Zhu suddenly moved, "Who!"

Before he could jump out of the door, a thin arrow had been shot quickly.

Zhao Zhu's eyes turned cold, and he struck out with the wind of his palm. He didn't know how he did it. When he stopped, his long and slender fingers closed together, and there was something between them, it was the thin arrow that glowed with cold light.

The thin arrow is different from other arrows, in addition to being small and delicate, it has no point, and a thick letter is stuck on the arrow.

"Brother Zhao is good at martial arts!" Lu Li's eyes were excited, and he gave Zhao Zhu a big smile.While looking around, I seem to see a figure in Tsing Yi disappearing on the roof, which is somewhat similar to the "uninvited guest" who caught a glimpse yesterday in the Yicui Tower.

If... it is really that person, there should be no malice.

Lu Li took off the envelope on the thin arrow and opened it.

Shen Wansha also came over, "I want to see it, I want to see it too!"

Zhao Zhu stared at the distant wall with some displeasure, why didn't those stupid subordinates send the news.

Xing Zuo didn't dare to show his face. My lord, it's not our fault. Commander Yuan and Ah You are not familiar with this place. It will take some time to investigate. It's not as good as the locals who know everything. They made it clear that they didn't have any malicious intentions. Don't dare to stop, the princess is waiting to solve the case!

This is really a very useful letter of help. The letter detailed the living conditions of the deceased Chen Jiaojiao in the past two years, what kind of customers she received, who she was friends with, who she had friends and enemies...

The letter was a bit long, but Lu Li was not annoyed at all, and read the whole letter with gratitude.

After reading it, he took a long breath, "I probably have to do an autopsy again."
