The first work of the imperial prison

The case-handling procedures are all familiar. Seeing that the commander had no other orders, Shen Jiang turned around quickly.

Ye Baiting also wanted to get to work immediately and bring the corpse back to Beizhen Fusi, but the on-site investigation work was not over yet, and the various sorting and handing over of the deceased's body had not yet been completed, so he had to wait for a while.

Waiting is waiting, why not do something else?

He looked to the side, and Qiu Xunqing, who had finished talking with his subordinate Jin Yiwei: "Go to the scene again?"

Hatred and green jaws: "Yes."

Ye Baiting saw that there was some thought in his expression, and then looked at the back of the little soldier just now: "But what did you find?"

Qiu Xunqing: "I just asked him to inquire about the movements of the deputy leader of the mission last night."

The deputy leader... the one named Mu Ya?

Ye Baiting responded instantly: "His alibi?"

"Last night, not only Suji Winery, but also other restaurants came to hand over the wine and clear the goods. Some of them have a large quantity, and some have a small quantity. Someone needs to keep an eye on them," Qiu Xunqing said, "Mu Ya has been watching from the sidelines. , never left, only went to the latrine once in the middle, and went with others, came back very quickly, the whole process was under the watchful eye of the guards, there was no possibility of committing a crime.”

Ye Baiting raised his eyebrows: "The guards are all our own?"

Qiu Yiqing said concisely: "I believe it."

Although he did not personally participate in the reception of the mission, the security guards had to intervene. All the people sent over were personally selected by him, completely eliminating the possibility of taking advantage of Fang Fang's loopholes. There will never be any problems. See, Muya didn't leave anything, making small suspicious behaviors, just busy all night.

Ye Baiting: "That's why this alibi is valid...Muya has nothing to do with the murder?"

Qiu Yiqing: "If you have other doubts, check again."

The two walked to the front hall again.

The north is the host seat. Last night, the diplomatic mission hosted a banquet. This seat belongs to Daha at first glance. There is a large space ahead for singing and dancing. There is a row of short ones on the west side. The closest place to Daha is Hong Bi Hezheng of the Lusi Temple, directly opposite him is the first person on the east side, who used to sit here was Zhong Xingyan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and under Zhong Xingyan, the person carrying his case tightly is the seat of the deceased Lu Ming.

Lu Ming is Zhong Xingyan's master, so it's normal to be close to him, but he is just a master. On this occasion, it can be said that it is very face-saving to sit in the second seat on the left.

"Look at this window," Ye Baiting pointed at the window, letting Qiu Suqing look at it, "according to the current climate, it is impossible to close it tightly at night. The deceased is sitting here, and the view seems to be good. Just pay attention, there will be people passing by outside. Whoever, what happened, he can know."

That's why he could immediately see Su Jiujiu who was lost and wanted to leave immediately, and raised his voice, asking people to pull her in and force Jiu to press her head, so...

Qiu Xunqing: "If a woman is being chased by a man, he will see it too."

The traces in the meadows and bushes to the east, if timed properly, had occurred before Lu Ming died, and there was a good chance he knew who it was.

Ye Baiting looked at the surrounding environment, walked to the case of the deceased again, and carefully observed the seat where he had sat. This time he looked at it for a long time and carefully, and soon found something different: "Commander, come and see -"

He pointed to the pattern on the wine cup on the table: "Is the color here a little different?"

This is a copper wine cup for entertaining guests. It has three legs at the bottom and carved patterns on the top. It looks elegant and generous, and it is not easy to slip off when you hold it in your hand. The color is not bright like gold or silver, but a little dull. That's why I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now if I look carefully, it is stuck in the gap of the pattern, and there is a little darker plum color.

"Neither sticky nor soft, neither mud nor food..."

Ye Baiting was a little uncertain about what this was.

Qiu Yiqing quickly gave the answer: "Kao Dan."

Ye Baiting paused: "Dye your nails?"

Nowadays, there are many kinds of nail art. Due to the need of forensic identification, he has learned about many types of nail polish with different effects, but he has forgotten that in ancient times, women had a more natural way to dye their nails, using brightly colored flower clay and alum. It will produce colorful colors.

But as far as he knew, nails dyed this way didn't seem to fade easily?

"It's not discoloration," Qiu Yiqing found a piece of broken nail in the gap of the carpet under the table, "Her nails are damaged."

Ye Baiting took the wine cup under the sun, observed carefully again, and finally found this difference.

Ancient nail dyeing is purely natural. It is not covered on the surface like nail polish, but penetrates into the nail layer a little so that it is not easy to fall off. However, if the nail is scratched vigorously, the surface will also be scraped with fine particles. These fine particles Mixed with the dyed color, isn't it left here?

Just because the amount is too small, it is not easy to see the difference.

This is the wine cup of the deceased, and it will leave traces of the female Koudan. Needless to say, a woman must have touched this wine cup. If it is only used for drinking, just lift it up with your fingertips. To the degree of nail injury, there must be pushing and rejecting movements in the middle, and the strength is great.

The only way Ye Baiting can think of is to persuade him to drink.

"Su Jiu?"

As soon as the name came out, Ye Baiting shook her head: "No, her fingers are very clean."

She was embarrassed by Lu Ming and persuaded her to drink, so she didn't drink, and there might be some pushing and shoving in the middle, but she made wine and didn't have the habit of dyeing her nails. She didn't like this kind of occasion, and there was no need to dress up carefully.

It's not her, it's another woman...

"Last night was a banquet, and Daha mentioned singing and dancing." Ye Baiting frowned, "Could it be a singer and dancer?"

A Su Jiujiu, a singer and a dancer, Lu Ming is so proficient in using routines, and his movements are so forceful that the opponent's nails are broken. It can be seen that this is not the first time he has done this kind of tricks.

Ye Baiting suddenly thought of the room where the violence happened, the girl who was bullied——

"Are there similar traces in that room?"

Qiu Yiqing turned around directly: "Go and have a look."

The two went out again, turned the path, walked through the bushes, came to the room, and looked around carefully...

"Really!"

It's just very obscure, the position is slightly higher, in the corner of the window lattice, near the upper position, stuck in the window slit, it has a dark plum color.

This location...

Ye Baiting pursed her lips, this girl should have been bullied here by raising her hand, otherwise there would be no traces of such a height left.

"There are also here." Qiu Yiqing squatted under the table, pointing to the bottom of the corner of the table.

Ye Baiting went to see it, and there was a small collection of scratches, and the wood on the bottom of the table even had burrs.

This position is also very obvious. The girl was pushed back on the table, her hands were restrained, she couldn't struggle, and she couldn't touch it anywhere else, so she could only scratch here repeatedly.

"It seems that we have to search this place carefully, not letting go of any corner."

"Ah."

After watching the scene again, the two walked out along the door, each thinking in their hearts.

Ye Baiting still couldn't ignore the existence of the Su family in this case. Whether Su Jiujiu has anything to do with these things is not sure yet, but...

"Su Tu, the owner of Suji Distillery, have you noticed? He seems to be—"

"Veteran." Qiu Yiqing said firmly, "Body posture, eye expression, and vigilance are all different. He must have been a well-trained soldier, but he was accidentally disabled and had to return home. "

Ye Baiting looked at Qiu Yiqing: "The way he looked at you...was a little strange."

Qiu Yiqing: "Everyone will not be calm when they see me for the first time, especially veterans."

Ye Baiting admits this point, Qiu Yiqing's temperament is too strong, like a sword drawn out of its sheath, with a sharp and piercing sense of coercion, he is someone who will never be ignored, ordinary people dare not even look at him, veterans It's not abnormal to be subconsciously alert when you see it.

"Woo! Woah! Woah—woof!"

Suddenly, Ye Baiting heard a familiar voice, is it Xuanfeng?

When he turned his head, he happened to see the dog being led by the soldier.

When Xiaobing saw the young master and the commander, he immediately saluted: "When Shen Baihu asked people to go back to send a message, they said that they were in a hurry to find something here, and they were afraid of delaying too long. come over."

"Wang!"

Xuanfeng greeted Ye Baiting enthusiastically, ran over and rubbed against him, was appeased by touching his head and scratching his chin, and immediately ran back satisfied. The whole process was very fast and very restrained.

Ye Baiting didn't even realize it: "Huh?"

Qiu Yiqing's lips curled up for a moment, before his fist reached his lips, he reminded in a gentle voice: "Look at its strap."

Ye Baiting looked down. Needless to say, in Fusi of Beizhen, the dog is well-trained, well-behaved and sensible, but there are rules. The Jinyi guards are familiar with it. Generally, it is not tied to the leash, but it is different when going outside. Those who know it know It is sensible, but ordinary people don't know, what if they get scared when they see it?

As long as you go out of the gate, you must be tied.

As a dog general with extraordinary ability and excellent performance, Xuanfeng also has many nooses, with different colors and textures. Only when performing tasks, he must wear a uniform pure black noose, braided leather, and belt buckle. , It's cool and mighty.

Ye Baiting instantly understood Gouzi's meaning——

Those who have to go to work today must be polite, keep a distance, and not be distracted!

"Wang!"

As if he could see that the young master understood, Gouzi wagged his tail, said goodbye, and left with the soldier with a serious face. He was dignified and mighty.

Ye Baiting: ...

OK.The dog looks like the master, and you are all pretty good at pretending.

"Go back tonight and prepare some meat and bones for it?"

Just now I was still complaining about people being able to pretend, but now I feel sorry for them...

The blue eyes of hatred slowly slowed down: "Okay."

For the rest of the time, they still had to wait for the corpse. Ye Baiting walked around randomly to see if he could help more. Sometimes Qiu Xunqing was nearby, but sometimes he was out of sight because he wanted to ask for instructions.

Finally, the Jinyiwei soldier came to report that Lu Ming's body had been approved at the scene and could be transported back to Beizhen Fusi. Just as Ye Baiting was about to follow him back, he heard a loud dog barking in the distance, which was continuous and noisy .

It's Xuanfeng.

Dogs don't bark like that for no reason, did they find something?As expected of General Dog, he is quite fast.

The task dogs searched out a variety of things, which may be evidence or other things. Although Ye Baiting was curious, he didn't intend to ask. He has personal responsibilities, and his main task scope is still to collect evidence from the autopsy.

He didn't stop, and continued to walk out.

But before reaching the gate, Jin Yiwei chased after him: "Young Master, stay a step! Another corpse was found in the back, Commander, please go over!"

Another corpse?

Ye Baiting frowned, and immediately turned around: "Lead the way."

This time the location was a warehouse, the door opened and there were stairs going down, it was built underground, like a cellar, before Ye Baiting saw anyone, he heard the sound of arguing inside.

"Master Da is really well-informed, and he came very quickly."

"If I don't come, do you want to demolish my site! Why do you even have to check this kind of private warehouse! All the secrets that I have kept here are all my secrets, do you want to peep!"

"Steal your mother - you killed someone here, didn't you see it! Who was the one who reported the crime with great fanfare!"

"I applied for Lu Ming, and I didn't know there was another one here!"

You don't need to look at it at all, you know it's Shen Jiang and Daha, and they are fighting again.

Ye Baiting looked left and right, this place is very remote, at the back, walking down the stairs, the temperature is getting lower and lower, this kind of place is good for the preservation of corpses, if it wasn't for an inch-by-inch inspection, Jin Yiwei might have missed it, if it wasn't for the dog The child is here, and there is really no way to find it so quickly.

"Wow! Woah—"

Walking into the room, Ye Baiting saw Gouzi baring his teeth and confronting Daha. Daha's expression was wonderful, with a headache and disgust on his face, as if he was roaring silently——

Why are there dogs here!Where is the dog!Why is this dog staring at him, is it going to bite someone!Jin Yiwei is too despicable, even using such indecent methods!

Gouzi is not afraid at all, all the acquaintances are here, a provocative two-legged beast, afraid of shit?It bared a mouthful of white teeth, fierce and proud.

"Boss Da, we meet again."

When Ye Baiting sees people, he always says hello: "It's so nice to change clothes so quickly."

"I told you my name is Daha!"

Daha looked at him darkly: "It's no match for your Jin Yiwei, you really are haunted."

Shen Jiang stopped doing it again: "What nonsense are you talking about? You obviously called us here, and you missed a dead person in a hidden way, and you came here in a hurry, and refused to let the inspection or entry. It is obvious that you have ulterior motives. I didn't bother you!"

"you--"

Daha's fingers trembled in anger.

Only then did Qiu Yiqing stop Shen Jiang: "Do business."

Shen Jiang glared at Daha before bowing his hands to the commander: "Yes!"

When Ye Baiting walked all the way down, he took a brief look at the cellar. There were a lot of things here. It wasn't particularly clean, but it was organized and orderly. a corpse.

Qiu Xunqing obviously had a judgment on this: "This should not be the scene of the first crime."

Ye Baiting nodded, put on his gloves, squatted in front of the corpse, and observed carefully.

This is a very beautiful girl, lying on her side, wearing plum blossom makeup, her face is smooth and smooth, a plum blossom is outlined with gold powder between her eyebrows, she is wearing a deep crimson long dress, the skirt is layered and elegant, and plum blossoms are secretly embroidered with gold thread , Look at the color and style, it is not everyday, but it is suitable for the performance stage.

Her nails were also dyed a beautiful plum color, which matched her makeup and clothes. The thumb and index finger nails on her right hand were obviously damaged, and one piece was split greatly, revealing bright red blood.

In addition to nail damage, there are many fine injuries on her hands, such as being accidentally scratched by a hard object while holding something, or accidentally falling on the ground or wall, and the palm and back of the hand were scratched by rough stone sand.

There are also many bruises on her arms, concentrated on the outside, from bumps or resistance injuries.And on the legs...

Ye Baiting looked at each of them, and every injury seemed to match the traces left by the man's violence in the previous room.

I am afraid that this girl was in that room at that time. She should have come out of the banquet hall. She was chased by someone on the grass in the east. here.

Ye Baiting began to identify the cause and time of death for the first time.

"The rigors spread all over the body, the plaques were small and streaky, the finger pressure completely subsided, the retracted fingers reappeared, and the cornea was slightly cloudy... The time of death of the deceased was within six hours. Judging from his performance, the exact time should be the same as Lu's." Not too much difference."

"Nails are slightly cyanotic, eyes are congested, optic discs are pale, and the smell of wine is obvious..."

Ye Baiting got up: "More detailed clues need to be autopsyed, but from the current point of view, the cause of her death should be the same as Lu Ming, which is also the poison of fake wine."

"Fake wine again?" Shen Jiang rubbed his arms, "Is the murderer doing wholesale fake wine?"

Qiu Yiqing looked at Daha: "Can Chief Da know the dead?"

Daha snorted unhappily: "I know, she is the dancer recommended by the director of Jiaofang, her name is Yu Linglong, she said that she dances in ice flowers and snow, her skirt is flying, and Luan returns to Fengzhu. It is unforgettable for people to see. It was her last night." I have been serving you all the time, and she was the one who came over for the two small banquets before, and everyone was very satisfied."

Ye Baiting: "Have Yu Linglong and everyone else drank?"

"Drink it." Daha seemed to recall the scene of last night, touched his chin, and had a bit of aftertaste, "She is a sensible girl, she toasted everyone present, and she didn't get drunk after a thousand glasses, which is amazing. .”

Qiu Xunqing: "Has she ever refused the drink from the men present?"

"Women need to be bold when drinking. Naturally, they have to refuse to greet, so they can enjoy it. Aren't they all hanging on men like this?" Daha raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "Pushing must be pushing, but pushing The purpose is not necessarily to refuse."

"When did she disappear in the banquet hall, did you notice?"

"I don't know. There was singing and dancing on the field, and she disappeared several times a night. Women have a lot of things to do, maybe it's makeup, maybe it's changing clothes, maybe it's going to the latrine, maybe it's waiting on men... How do I know when she's going?" Disappeared, where did it go?"

"Why did she die here?"

"How do I know?" Daha's dark eyes contained some kind of malicious speculation, "Maybe it's because he drank too much alcohol, and the wild man is wandering here, who knows that he accidentally drank fake wine by mistake before, and just wandered past like this .”

Shen Jiang: "She ran out from the banquet hall and came all the way here, but no one noticed? You don't let the guards go?"

Daha narrowed his eyes: "Isn't this house a guard for you Dazhao? It is said that it is safe and secure, and no one will offend and intrude. Why do we waste our manpower on guard?"

Ye Baiting recalled the process of walking over just now, his eyes slid left and right, and slid across the room.

There are large and small items in the warehouse. He doesn’t know much about them, but they seem to be very expensive from the packaging to the texture, and Daha’s attitude is also very important. They think it’s not an insignificant thing. They choose this warehouse to store , because it is the most remote and private place.

As for why there are no guards... It's not that there are too many guards around the courtyard, but that it is unnecessary.This is the very back, the deepest and innermost point, and there is only one road leading to it. Wala does not need to put guards at this door, just keep an eye on the small intersection in the distance.

When he walked over just now, he saw two unfamiliar faces with obviously different clothes, and they were the people used by the Oirat mission to warn.

But what he thinks most now is not the existence of this warehouse, what is in the warehouse, what he thinks is that it takes a period of time for fake wine to kill, why did the dancer Yu Linglong drink fake wine, was it an accident or someone deliberately?Why was she being chased, why was she so scared, so unwilling, but she didn't shout out, preferring to be bullied?

What is the difference between her and Lu Ming's death time, whether there is cause and effect, where did the fake wine drink, why did she come here... and the room where she was violated, the sense of direction and distance is very subtle.

Also, what he needs to judge most now is how Yu Linglong's injuries are.

The woman was brutally raped, the degree of injury was mild or severe, whether she could walk afterwards, whether she lost her mobility... was something that had to be confirmed.And this matter, he didn't want to show it to everyone in public.

"Send it back to Beizhen Fusi."

"Why, this is not an in-person interview?" Daha was dissatisfied, and his eyes slipped around the dancer, with a malicious yin and yang look, "Don't tell me there is something hidden?"

Ye Baiting's eyes immediately turned cold.

Forensic autopsy is to restore the truth and comfort the souls of the dead. Its work is full of awe and rigor. Although when discussing autopsy matters with many family members, the family members often reply with the word "respect for the dead", but what forensic doctors hate most is , It is also disrespectful to the dead. The purpose of all their work is just to analyze the truth.

He didn't misinterpret Daha's curious look, it's just that it's not a big deal to watch the excitement!Daha has seen the way the deceased is lying here, the angle at which the skirt is torn, the faint blood on the thigh, and wants to see more!

"Boss Da doesn't respect the dead, isn't he afraid of encountering ghosts at night and being killed by people?" Ye Baiting didn't want to express it like this, but in this era, ordinary people are more afraid of ghosts than people.

Daha was startled, and looked left and right: "You, don't scare me with these words!"

Ye Baiting snorted coldly: "I don't mind showing my skills again, but why? You have no reason to let you see my ability and learn my skills. Did you give it to Shu Xiu, or did you perform the six rituals?"

After finishing speaking, he also looked at Qiu Yiqing: "Commander, do I have the right to ask for tuition fees?"

"of course."

Qiu Xunqing looked at Daha: "The attack performance of the leader Yida during the autopsy process, frequent interruptions, the six rituals should not be taken lightly, at least doubled - our number one talent is difficult for ordinary people to see, but it is invaluable of."

worth what?Even what city?What are you implying?

Just take a look at the autopsy, do you still want to blackmail us into a city!

"Don't you-"

Before Daha cursed, Shen Jiang followed him again: "Anyone who makes a bet casually has to make some bets. You not only need to learn skills, but also be picky as a layman. No, how uncomfortable is it for our young master to have to do things while making noises? You don’t want to win any prizes, so you just want to see it for nothing, isn’t it natural?”

"I think you have a vast land and few people in Wala, you lack food and clothing, and you don't have any good things. We don't look down on you," Shen Jiang smacked his lips, "Or just a few thousand horses? Three thousand horses, how about it? If you give three thousand horses, our young master will ask you to see the autopsy, how about it?"

Like your mother!

Daha almost wanted to curse, the best thing I have is a horse, why give it to you!Three thousand horses, you dare the lions to open their mouths, do you know how difficult it is to raise them!I gave it to you, and General An will use it in front of the battle. Will our cavalry survive?

Shen Jiang felt that his proposal was very good, and asked Ye Baiting's opinion seriously: "What do you think, young master? Would you like to be more generous?"

Ye Baiting smiled and raised his eyebrows: "But——"

Before finishing a sentence, Daha flicked his sleeves and left: "It's just an autopsy, what's so strange, I have killed more people than you have ever seen! It's just a dirty woman, I don't want to see it." Hurry up and tidy up here, and don’t invade my territory, the things here are registered and registered, if there is anything less, I will never end with you!”
