The first work of the imperial prison

Ye Baiting's handwriting is not good, and he has no talent in painting. He has learned sketching and played sculpture. Although he is often said to be a craftsman by his teachers, he still has a little foundation in art. If he can't do too much, it is enough to assist forensic observation.

Skull restoration is not simple, it involves a lot of knowledge, such as anatomy, anthropology, genetics, etc. The main work is done on the skull, based on the shape of the skull itself, it is required to accurately determine the thickness of the soft tissue, and the position and structure of the facial features depend on Due to the shape of the bones, different genders and ages will form different facial features. With the help of modern technology, computers can perform more accurate [-]D reconstruction. There are many masters in this field. For example, Ye Baiting knows a professional in item technology Professor, once used a small piece of broken skull to accurately restore the face of the victim...

First, after cleaning, check and correct the shape of the skull, whether there is any deviation in the front and back, and whether there is any dislocation caused by external force on the back of the neck and mandible. In ancient times, there were no convenient and fast materials, so we had to find substitutes. Ye Baiting tried it, and the yellow clay was good. Add some viscous accessories, and it can be used completely. Except for the darker color, it may not look so good. Looks good, the effect is about the same.

During the process, he needs to measure a lot of data and calculate various heights and angles. He needs to find a ruler with the highest precision available here. He may also need to do a little manual work and a caliper. The brush is not easy to use. He simply changed to a charcoal pen, which is convenient for writing and calculating.

Ye Baiting was very thankful... Fortunately, he did not forget his knowledge of mathematics.

All hands-on work must be precise, and mistakes should be minimized as much as possible. It is best not to make mistakes. The curvature of the face determines the appearance characteristics. A mistake of a millimeter may make a huge difference.

Little by little, Ye Baiting calculated, holding the cut, thin and short wooden strips, and marking on the skull model, hairline, eyebrow, philtrum, suborbital rim, subchin...especially Pay attention to the shape and direction of the facial features. The deceased was in his 20s and had characteristics unique to this age.

The whole process required a lot of care and patience, and it took a long time. He was not impatient, and planned according to the steps he should have, all the same, without missing a single bit.

So in the past few days, Beizhen Fusi saw the young master holding a skull, washing, pressing, and sticking mud up, pushing up mung bean-sized things one by one, stopping from time to time, and looking at it from a distance , Standing closer to see, if you are not satisfied, you have to adjust it, and often remove the mud that seems to be wrong and stick it again...

Just that bit of mud, really, not much, the young master is about to play with it, and he still holds his small tweezers when he is meticulous, dividing little by little, and putting it up little by little!

The guards in Jin Yi looked really strange, they all grew up from little brats, who had never played with mud, but who played with mud and played tricks like this?Skull and mud, what combination is this?

I heard that to solve the case, the young master wanted to pinch the face of the deceased out of the skull, and everyone was silent.

No, can you do this job?Can a face be spelled out with just a skull?The young master is a man and a god, so powerful!

Everyone looked fresh at the beginning, then their eyes were filled with respect, and finally they all walked slowly when passing by, for fear of disturbing the young master.Pinching the face on the skull, who in the world has heard of it?If he is really capable of doing this, let alone Beizhen Fusi's first job, it is Dazhao's first job!

……

In Ying Gonghou, Shen Jiang made an investigation and asked for a confession. He used all kinds of tricks, this time even brought wine, and stuffed it to a [-]-year-old steward: "Speak to me secretly, no one knows, I I promise not to betray you, nor to let you testify in court, what are you afraid of? I don’t ask those secrets that you can’t tell, I’m just a little curious, why are there only young people serving in the mansion, and how many old people are there?”

The little steward looked around, and took the wine carefully: "Are the rules in the Hou's mansion very strict? It's difficult to keep them. If you don't keep them all, you will make a mistake... The servants here are changed every few years, and at most it can't exceed ten years. Pulling the villain to ask, the villain can’t have anything to do with you, or he will be replaced soon, the villain really doesn’t know anything, there are rules, it’s impossible for others to tell, and it’s impossible for the villain to ask... "

"Just chat a few words casually, and I'll let you go after the chat. Don't be afraid, have you ever been to the yards of the masters in the mansion?"

"Each house is guarded by a special person, and others are not allowed to approach."

Shen Jiang rolled his eyes: "These courtyards are so big, so empty, and how scary they are when they are quiet. Have you heard any movement?"

"Nope," the little steward looked around, and lowered his voice a bit, "It is said that this house will be haunted! There are often creaking, I don't know where it comes from, and there are female ghosts whimpering, which is a bit like Doing that kind of thing... Cough, it just sounds like it, maybe it's just rumors, so it can't be true!"

While Shen Jiang was chatting with the little steward, his mind was spinning fast. The strange sound that the other party described was like the sound of the secret passage mechanism being opened, the sound of the door opening and closing, what kind of female ghost did that kind of thing, it was obviously the people in this house cheating!

"Which yard has a female ghost? It's interesting, tell me."

"Is this..."

……

As the commanding envoy, Qiu Xingqing had more than this case to work on. He squeezed time to receive new case information and issue orders. When he had a little time, he went to follow up and investigate in person.

He found that wooden chrysanthemums are extremely rare in Dazhao, and only merchants who specialize in foreign goods will sell them. In response to the rules and attitude of the Gonghou Mansion, they generally would not deal with such wild merchants. So where did this thing come from?The appearance of this chain made him feel a little strange.

Ying Gonghou also gave him a very strange feeling, he had seen a lot of high-ranking families, but this was the first time he had seen such a thing, he always felt that there was something hidden in the depths that hadn't been dug out, or even seen.

When he was running around to follow up the case and look for clues, he would occasionally run into Dongchangchang Gong Fu Lixing, or Xichangchang Gongban and An. , Say hello, but it's just a hello, then turn around and leave.

It seems that they met by chance, thinking too much is an illusion, but Qiu Xunqing knows that this is not an illusion, these two people have something wrong recently, what are they trying to do?The person who robbed him?

The commander squinted his eyes, it was really a dream.

While everyone was busy, they did not delay receiving new news. Shen Jiang knew that the young master was "playing with mud" and wanted to restore his appearance. He felt very regretful at the moment, but what a pity that he was not by his side at such a powerful moment. can not see!No, I have to speed up the work process, so I can go back and see what kind of game it is!

Qiu Yiqing is naturally proud, although he rarely shows it, no matter how busy or tired he is, he has to go back to Beizhen Fusi every day, even if he changes clothes, sometimes in the middle of the night, sometimes in the daytime, no matter how busy or tired he is. I don't know, whether I saw him or not, as long as he can look at Xiao Wuzuo, he will be full of energy and continue with the next work.

The Fusi case in Beizhen is a secret, and it is impossible to disclose it until it is found out. Personal skills are not secrets. Sometimes the more mysterious things are, the more they spread. Ye Baiting filled the bones with mud to make the dead look reappear Many outsiders also know about it.

"This kind of thing can really be done? Why am I so unbelievable..."

"Beizhen Fusi must be trying to scare people, no one in the world can do such a thing!"

"If it's true... I want to ask, is Jin Yiwei accepting people now? The kind who are strict and diligent, and don't have to pay wages!"

It doesn't matter, I just watched the fun, it has something to do with it, I am very curious, I want to know how it can be done, all kinds of gossip are spread from the small courtyard of Fusi in Beizhen, to the prison, the market, the officialdom, and even the palace...

I know everything I need to know.

Ye Baiting herself didn't pay attention, she was totally immersed in her work, concentrating on it, forgetting to eat and sleep, she almost slept with her bones in her arms.

Occasionally, he used his eyes too much, and he really had a headache and sore eyes. He also knew to take a break, go out and move around, and relax, otherwise his own bones would cause problems, not to mention other people's bones.

Xuanfeng is very important at this time, it seems to have a kind of ability, as long as the young master comes out and wants to move around, it knows, and immediately runs over with a small rattan ball in its mouth, asking the young master to accompany it Play.

Ye Baiting first stroked the dog from top to bottom, each person and the dog were both happy, so he found an open place to play with the ball.

Beizhen Fusi's front yard is empty and quiet, with a solemn atmosphere and no sound, but today is a little different.Ye Baiting saw two people, one was older, with gray temples, the other was younger, with a not too straight back, with the same aura, similar but different clothes, upon closer inspection, they both knew each other, wasn't it just the two factory workers? male?

Are the two still arguing?

Ban Hean and Fu Lixing met at the gate of Beizhen Fusi, and each of them cursed inwardly, why did they come across this thing!

Everyone is a scene person, scolding the street in their hearts, but polite on their faces. The two are of the same level. Ban and An are older, and they speak first: "It's rare, I met you outside."

R&F also put on a smirk: "Isn't it a coincidence, our family happened to be passing by here, and you too?"

Ban Hean nodded, his hands were tied in his sleeves, and he was very steady: "It seems that the imperial concubine has been living happily and in a good mood recently."

Otherwise, you lackey, how can you stroll outside when you have time?

Fu Lixing knew what the other party was talking about, and immediately returned it: "The empress dowager must be in good health these days, there is no need to summon the imperial physician."

Otherwise, you old dog, why are you free?

Ban He'an: "The old man is indifferent to fame and wealth, and his appetite for food and drink has diminished. We usually recite Buddha and enjoy flowers. Our Ningshou Palace is used to being quiet, and we can't compare to you. It would be a mistake not to run a few times on weekdays."

You're so free today, is it because your master doesn't need you anymore?You don't feel uncomfortable, don't you know how to review it?

Fu Lixing: "You are also young and full of energy. As a junior, you have to keep everything in mind. Our Changle Palace has everything, and we hope that everyone can take care of it. We are always reluctant to let others suffer."

If you have that leisurely mind, you might as well worry about yourself. As long as your master is as strong as he is, what will happen to you if he leaves someday?

The yin and yang of the two sides passed the trick, ran on each other, and smirked together, Ban and An said: "The imperial concubine is in a good mood, it is because the inner palace has taken good care of it, and it is also a blessing for you and me."

Fu Lixing said: "The Queen Mother is in good health, not only you and me, but also Dazhao's blessing."

This greeting process is almost over.

The two politely avoided the direction: "Your Majesty goes first."

"You go first."

"Please—"

"Please—"

Since it was a 'passing by', 'encounter', even if the gate of Beizhen Fusi was right in front of them, they would not go in, but passed by each other and walked towards the direction the other party came from.

Ye Baiting finished admiring the factory eunuch's talk with relish, but it's not enough yet, is this the end?

He stroked the dog's hair: "Do you still want to play?"

"Wang!"

Xuanfeng looked at the young master with dark eyes, rubbing and sticking, and tilted his head to gently bite the sepak takraw ball in his hand, wanting to play with it!

"Then you have a good idea—"

Ye Baiting threw the ball, this time with more force and a little farther, the dog jumped out with a bark, and headed towards the direction of the ball, with those firm little eyes, that lightning speed, invincible!

He had a great time here, how could he have expected that the two factory bosses were 'wrong shoulders', they just acted like that, the goal was to trick the other party away, so that he could enter Beizhen Fusi, in fact, no one left, surrounded by Beizhen Fusi circled around and turned to the door again.

They bumped into each other again.

But just now it was one west and one east, now it is one east and one west, the two changed directions.

This is awkward.

I can't say anything about coincidences, chance encounters, once encounters by chance, can we meet by chance again?Are they still at the gate of Beizhen Fusi?It's all a fox's dream for thousands of years, who is it to fool.

But even though I lied and got slapped in the face, the other party is also the same. Whoever is embarrassed at this time will be at a disadvantage. The two father-in-laws are more stable than the other, and the other is more fake than the other. He arched his hands.

There is no way to speak so peacefully, with somewhat murderous intent, Ban He'an: "In the early years, the imperial concubine was favored because of her ability to 'get lost'. Unexpectedly, the people below are all promising and well versed in the essence."

Look at how considerate I am, I even found excuses for you.

Fulixing smiled and said: "The empress dowager often fell ill in the early years, 'in poor health', thanks to your inconvenient legs and feet at a young age, you always have to rest after calling the imperial doctor, and you forget things too much, the late emperor That's why I was repeatedly forced by the imperial physician to perform my filial piety."

Who does an old dog scold?The bottom of my butt is not clean, and I still want to blame others?

The two looked at each other, the more unpleasant it became, and the more they felt that this face was hideous and not a thing, and finally let out their breath with their noses together, and let out a "hum".

You're a shameless person who just won't leave!

This time Dongchang R&F started to speak first: "Mr. Banchang is here to enter Beizhen Fusi? Our family will sell you the news that the commander is not here, so it is useless to go in. It is impossible to curry favor."

Ban He'an looked puzzled: "What does Mr. Fuchang mean by this? Our family is here, why do you say 'flattering'? They are all doing things for the imperial court, sharing worries for the present, and they should support each other, but Mr. Fuchang you , the empress in the palace is still young and has a lot of work to do, so you really don't want to go back to the palace to serve? Be careful, the position will be squeezed out if you make a mistake."

Fu Lixing narrowed his eyes: "Do you dare not let me in?"

Ban and An Hengmei: "Didn't you stop me?"

The eyes of the two competed again, and they also knew that today could not be good, and they couldn't be fooled.

R&F: "They are all smart people, Mr. Banchang, tell the truth, who are you looking for?"

Ban and An's eyes were indifferent, and they asked back: "Doesn't Mr. Fu know all about it?"

"Didn't you Xichang always advertise that you don't cling to the party? Since there is something wrong, Mr. Banchang might as well be tougher and talk to the commander directly."

"How can it be said that it is clinging to the party? I heard that Mr. Wuzuo, the Fusi of Beizhen, has done a good job. I am also serious about handling cases in Xichang. I should come to ask for advice. Open your mouth and shut your mouth to refuse, why, the young master is yours? Who gave you the courage, the imperial concubine?"

"Don't label people casually. The young master is the young master of Beizhen Fusi, and I, Dongchang, just have something to ask for advice!"

The two stood at the door and finished arguing, then hummed again and turned their faces away.

"Since I kindly persuade you not to leave, then—"

"Everyone speak according to their ability!"

Not to be outdone, the two entered the gate of Fusi in Beizhen side by side.

Ye Baiting stood in the yard and listened to all the conversations. His angle was rather tricky, he could see the other party, but the other party couldn't see him.

So these two people... came after him?

He lowered his eyes belatedly, and looked at the small bell on his wrist. He was just an ordinary prisoner who was still under the supervision of Jin Yiwei. How could he make the two factory owners care so much?

"Wow - woof!"

The dog saw that the young master was stunned and didn't catch the ball it was holding for a long time. He thought the young master was tired and didn't want to play any more. It's the arching of the big head, all kinds of coquettishness and cuteness, seeking attention and attention.

The dog is so cute, Ye Baiting couldn't hold back, squatted down and held it down, and started pawing, the dog is so beautiful, its tail is almost wagging like a windmill.

There are very few visitors in Beizhen Fusi. It is not like the outside rumors. No one is allowed in or out. Once in, they cannot get out. As long as they do not commit crimes and register according to the procedure, they can enter.

After the two father-in-laws finished the process, they still competed secretly, never letting the other take a step ahead of them, and walked forward side by side, and soon saw Ye Baiting playing with the dog.

The dog is very energetic, jumping up and down, very rude, licking the young master's face, hugging the young master's waist, gnawing the young master's paw... No, gnawing the young master's hand, this is a human hand, the said autopsy master outside, bit it to pieces what to do!

As for this ignorant thing, the young master still pampers it, lets it mess around, lets it lick and gnaws, and doesn't scold or beat it!And pat the dog's head!If it weren't for so many people watching, the young master would be embarrassed, I'm afraid he would kiss the dog's forehead with that posture!

The two father-in-laws took a deep breath——

Qiqi stepped forward, one with a smile on his face, and the other with a calm and steady face, R&F took the lead: "Young master, is he busy?"

Ben and An Xin said what kind of nonsense is this, who are you mocking?It's not your mistress, how can you be busy playing with dogs?That's a break—

"I heard that the young master has been working very hard recently, day and night, please pay attention to rest, don't get tired."

Fulihang: ...

It seems to have lost.

"Wow - woof!"

Before Ye Baiting had any reaction, the dog ran over, first growled and bared his teeth, threatened a few times, then circled around them twice, sniffing them carefully, no matter the sound or the movements, they were not very friendly.

This is going to be another dog, maybe they kicked him out a long time ago, but this is the young master's favorite dog, so I have to bear it whether I am happy or not.

Ye Baiting: ...

"Xuanfeng is back." He hurriedly called the dog back, "Don't be afraid, you two, it doesn't bite."

After finishing speaking, I felt that this was a bit of a problem. All dog owners seemed to say that, and added: "It has been trained, and it still has homework every day, and it will never bite people casually."

Gouzi: "Wow!"

The two father-in-laws stood solemnly, regardless of whether they wanted it or not, and how much conflict there was, in front of the young master, there must be time and peace.

Finally, after a fight in front of the gate, registration at the gate, and Gouzi's permission, the two of them can talk to the young master normally. Fu Lixing thought that I couldn't lose, and said, "I heard that the governor of Beizhen is always elite, and the domesticated task dog is the world's best dog." First, is this General Dog? It is an honor for our family to meet you today."

He also bent slightly, smiling all over his face: "General Dog has made countless achievements, but he is a hero, so don't neglect, next time our family will bring you a bone to eat, okay?"

"Wang!"

Seeing his face approaching, it was not good-looking at all, the dog was startled, so he swung his paws to pat it.

Ban and An Laoshen are here: "General Dog has discipline, Mr. Fuchang should not be too enthusiastic."

The two don't want to fight again, Ye Baiting said: "Where are you two coming today?"

Ban and An cupped their hands: "I want to find the commander to say something related to the case."

R&F: "But he doesn't seem to be here."

"I heard that the young master is also busy with this case..."

"That's the same as you said."

Ye Baiting lowered her eyes and said in her heart that I believe you are a ghost, but of course she must ask for clues about the case: "If that's the case, let's go into the house and talk?"

He found a room, invited the two of them in, and found a clerk, came in with a pen and paper, sat in a corner, and took notes.

The dog didn't go out either, Da Da Da followed the young master into the house, and lay down at his feet.

"Who will come first?"

Ye Baiting looked at the eyes of the two and seemed to be competing again, as if to say "listen to me first", "if this dog has any good clues, let me listen to it", he simply pointed at one person: "Mr. Come?"

Ban and An Duancha smiled: "Then our family will do our part. Our family doesn't know much about the case of Ying Gonghou's mansion, and we don't intend to spy on it. However, due to some old disputes in the early years, we knew something about the eldest daughter Ying Bai Su. You know, my lord, why Ying Baisu didn't talk about getting married until she became an old girl and had to be arranged by the family to marry into the Shi family?"

Ye Baiting didn't know, but he had a guess in his mind: "Love? Does she like someone?"

Fulixing didn't say a word, just glanced at Ban and An—you old dog will understand about love and love?

Ban Hean calmed down and straightened his cuffs lightly. All the women in the harem came from Gongdou. Do you think that only your mistress can play with this matter?When I understood, you didn't even know where to pretend to be a grandson.

He bowed his head solemnly: "Young master's eyesight, that's about the same thing."

Ye Baiting was still very puzzled. It was not easy to search for the news in the inner house. It was indeed difficult to search. He said it was easy to search. As long as one point was caught, it could be picked up in a line. But Shen Jiang has not found anything so far, which proves that Ying Bai There is no one outside Su.

Based on her past experience, it is particularly inconsistent.

"Who is this person?" Who was it that Jin Yiwei didn't even find out?

Ban and An smiled: "Young master, do you want to guess?"

Ye Baiting suddenly cleared his eyes: "Are... people from Ying Gonghou's mansion?" But all the people here are her relatives, how is it possible?

Ban He'an: "Butler Xu Kai."

When Ye Baiting heard this name, he paused for a moment, completely unexpected.

He had met Xu Kai twice before and after, and this person gave him the impression that he had a weak sense of existence, not very conspicuous, not outstanding in appearance, not outstanding in personality, and he was a bit positive when he was doing the affairs of the head of the house, Ying Bai Su Where did you see him?

Ban and An's eyebrows were dark: "Young Master, what do you think a little girl locked in a deep house wants most?"

Ye Baiting: "Freedom?"

Ban He'an: "They really want freedom, but freedom is often accompanied by risks. Most women can't bear it. When you open the door, what she sees is not hope, but fear. There are dangers everywhere outside. She is a delicate girl. How to resist the villains, how to live? Why give up a rich life and go out to wander?"

Ye Baiting understood: "What she wants is freedom."

Ban He'an has a deep meaning: "Men in the world choose women mostly based on their appearance and body. It’s not convenient to use it properly.”

The author has something to say: The two factory owners (thinking): I don’t know what the young master likes...

Ye Baiting (playing ball with Xuanfeng): I like Gouzi.

Master Xichang (get down immediately): Wang!

Master Dongchang (followed by): Wang!

Shen Jiang (kicking the two out of the door): Do I need you!Young Master, look at me—woof!

Qiu Xunqing (kicks Fei Shenbaihu and hands the sepak takraw ball to Xiao Wuzuo): ​​Baby, I want to play with the ball.
