The first work of the imperial prison

Ganquan Street is on the extension line of the east and west main streets, close to Huajiefang City, it is very lively no matter day or night, the street is wide, there are many shops, and naturally there are many people.

When Shen Jiang arrived, the scene was under martial law, Jing Zhaoyin's people had already arrived, and the servants in soap clothes maintained order under the command of the superior, circled the crime scene, separated the crowd, and cleared the atmosphere. Looking at each other from a distance, whispering, but not daring to cause chaos.

When encountering a corpse or a murder case on the road, the first reaction of the people is to report to the officials, and the government office directly under the Central Government is Jing Zhaoyin. Similar scenes have long been commonplace.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Shen Jiang Dama Jindao separated from the crowd and walked in, raising his chin and posing, trying not to cover his buttocks as much as possible.

The people below guarded him and walked in, while raising their voices: "There are hundreds of households in Jinyiwei here, who dares to act presumptuously!"

As soon as the word Jin Yiwei was heard, the scene was suddenly silent, and no one dared to speak.

Shen Jiang walked quickly, looking around, and when he was about to understand the environment of the crime scene, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a person from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who was getting off the carriage on the side of the road, wearing official uniforms.It is estimated that he also heard the news and came to 'take' the case.

Heh, what a joke, when it comes to robbing things, who can compare to Jin Yiwei?Don’t even think about a hair of yours what the old men want. The old men have chewed through and chewed them up, and you have to ask the dog if they want to eat the boring dregs thrown out before it’s your turn. It’s up to you A few bamboo poles like weak chickens dare to show embarrassment in front of the master?

Shen Jiang's fingers were a little itchy, and he pressed the Xiuchun knife on his waist.

Sure enough, the other party was scared, winked at his colleague, waved his hand, and shrank back to the wall like a quail.

Shen Jiang recognized this person, He Yiming, the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment of 'Da Yi's Killing Relatives', well-known, like a thunder, isn't he the brother-in-law of Young Master Jiao?

Not to mention the itching of the hand holding the Xiuchun knife, his fist is hard, if it is not inconvenient to face a case now, he must teach this man with a sack, what is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, what is Filial piety, loyalty, bravery and honesty!

The more he likes young master Jiao now, the more he dislikes this surname He. What a broken adoptive brother, he sent his adoptive father to the execution platform with his own hands, and his younger brother doesn't care about him in prison, bah!I want to see, what good will happen to you in the future!

Walking into the circle in a blink of an eye, Shen Jiang was startled when he saw the crime scene.

It's not that he boasted, since he joined Jinyiwei, his horizons have been 'broadened' a lot, he has gained a lot of knowledge every year, and he is rarely frightened by the outside world.But the scene under the sun in front of him still made his heartstrings tense.

The hands of the deceased were cut behind the back, tied with a thin and tough cowhide rope, which was very tight, and the blood line of the bone was almost visible, and the ankle was also tied with the same cowhide rope. The visual effect is extremely uncomfortable.

The deceased’s eyes were half-opened, and he knelt on the ground in an awkward kneeling position, with his forehead on the ground and a ball of cloth stuffed in his mouth. It seemed that his hands and feet were bound first, and he knelt on the ground, and then either voluntarily or He was held down and kowtowed, and then killed.

The fatal wound was very clear. It was on the neck. A large gash was opened on the left side of the deceased's neck. The flesh and blood turned out and the wound was extremely deep. But it wasn't this that was horrifying, it was the blood on the ground.

The blood flowed down from the neck of the deceased, soaked the clothes, and soaked the ground. A very, very large piece almost covered the entire body of the deceased... Was the blood all over the body drained?

Why don't you hang people up like a pig!Wouldn't it be drier?

What is more distinctive is the paper money scattered around the deceased.

That's right, paper money, yellow and white, square and round, with different shapes cut out in the middle, it looks like paper money to be burned for the dead, there are a lot of them, as if they were picked up in handfuls and raised to the sky, falling everywhere , on the ground, on the back of the deceased, and also in the pool of blood, stained with blood-colored soil and some unknown color, it looks even scarier.

The murderer is very interesting, killing people and burning money to die?Then why not just do another favor and bury him?

Jing Zhaoyin saw Jinyiwei Baihu, and came over with a smile on his face: "Master Baihu has worked hard, this time you will see the case—"

"Stop!" Shen Jiang Tongling stared at him viciously, "Stop! Just stand there and don't come over!"

Cooperating with Ye Baiting to solve the case, he knows the rules of Young Master Jiao very well. The whole crime scene must be painted back to him in detail, no mistakes are allowed, no omissions are allowed, every extra trace is a burden, turn around Being scolded, his mind is full of grass, he can find someone to cry!

Jing Zhaoyin: ...

His face was full of innocence, and his face was full of grievances.

Shen Jiang: "The Fusi of Beizhen is asking for this case, take your people and get out."

"This..." Jing Zhaoyin cautiously said, "The Commander's signature on the document..."

Shen Jiang sneered: "I can't go away, Mr. Jing Zhaoyin seems to be quite free, why don't you go to Beizhen Fusi to ask for an invitation?"

Jing Zhaoyin panicked in an instant, and almost pulled off a few beards: "Master Commander has a lot of things to do every day, how dare the subordinate officials disturb you because of trivial matters? Lord Baihu, don't forget to go through the process later."

Shen Jiang's reserved jaw: "Sir, please?"

Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and after handing over to Jin Yiwei, he took the people away.

Shen Jiang asked the people below to control the scene, and asked them to bring paper and pens to draw the scene himself, and called the person who first discovered the deceased to come to him for questioning...

After I was busy, I found that the scene was not noisy. Most of them were frightened by the majesty of Jinyiwei and did not dare to speak loudly. However, the number of people surrounding them was not small at all, and even more and more. You will pass it on to me and I will pass it on to you. You will know soon Yes, the deceased was Shen Huarong, the county horse of Princess Yun'an.

Feeling that this matter was a bit big, Shen Jiang thought about it, and had to report to the commander.After finishing the matter at the scene, he carried the body of the deceased back to Beizhen Fusi, and suddenly found that there was no need to report specially, because the commander just came back and met him at the door.

Qiu Yiqing didn't even look at Shen Jiang, and didn't stop on his feet. He walked over him with a calm and elegant posture, as it should be: "Get ready for the autopsy."

He obviously knew everything, so he didn't need to talk nonsense to report the previous situation, but the direction he went was not to the Zuo room, but to the side of the main hall, the room where he rested.

This is to... change clothes and come back again?Also, the smell of blood on this set is so strong, it is obvious that they have come back after doing a big job!

Shen Jiang's eyelids twitched, and he obediently saluted and agreed. He didn't dare to delay at all, and ran to the prison in three steps at a time. He couldn't care about the pain in his buttocks, and ran with grinning teeth——

How long does it take to change clothes, I have to invite Young Master Jiao out quickly, otherwise what will I do later, make Young Master Jiao transform in front of the boss!He hasn't lived enough yet!

The sound of footsteps came from far to near, and Ye Baiting frowned when she saw the sweat on Shen Jiang's forehead: "I asked you to handle the case, I didn't tell you to dedicate yourself to death—" Before finishing a sentence, she felt something was wrong, and paused Next, "Is Qiu Yiqing back?"

Shen Jiang was sore and tired, he couldn't breathe well, and he unlocked the lock with shaking hands: "Hurry up, hurry up, change your clothes quickly, the boss will be here soon!"

Ye Baiting frowned: "I want to do an autopsy in front of him?"

"Otherwise?" Shen Jiang was tired, "I wore your little skirt and went there and showed my secrets?"

Ye Baiting: ...

Can you not mention the little skirt, is that my little skirt, you Shen Jiang brought it over and asked me to change it!

Shen Jiang had already risked it all: "Anyway, the commander has already beaten me up. You can understand what it means. I can't. I'm playing hide-and-seek with you smart people. It's better to just lie down and laugh at me. That's it, love." What the heck, the first life is one life, so you can just take it, and I won’t be able to sleep all night long!”

Ye Baiting walked out with him, looking down at the bright and dark shadows in front of his toes: "It's probably...a way."

Shen Jiang: "Just give it a try. We're going to solve the case and make meritorious service. How can he refuse to accept it? He used to think that I was just playing tricks and pretending to be meritorious, and he didn't know that you were a prisoner..."

Ye Baiting was amazed at the simplicity of the opponent's mind.

But forget it, as long as you are happy.

The two walked to the changing room, and Ye Baiting once again showed dislike for the little skirt.

Shen Jiang coaxed in a low voice: "Then what, this is a new winter coat, the color is brighter, the pleats are better, and it won't wrinkle anywhere when you wear it. Look at the little purple flowers on it, isn't it much brighter?"

Ye Baiting: ...

Does he look like he's particularly interested in the little purple flower!

"And it's thicker, windproof and warm—"

"You said keep warm?" Ye Baiting frowned a little.

Shen Jiang nodded quickly: "That's right! You try it on, you'll know it, it's warm!"

In terms of practicality, Ye Baiting endured it.

Putting on a small skirt—no, soldier-style winter clothes and skirts, the two quickly headed to Wuzuofang.

But it was still a step too late, Qiu Xunqing had already arrived.

He changed into a new set of clothes, black bottom, narrow sleeves, green gold pattern, not a flying fish suit, no dragging, more like a light riding suit, mainly for neatness and convenience in doing things, because of the tailored body, it looks like he has broad shoulders and long legs, Incredibly good figure.

He glanced over Shen Jiang, and swept Ye Baiting up and down: "Not bad."

Ye Baiting tilted his head slightly, didn't understand, what's good?

Qiu Yiqing: "No wonder you begged me on your knees to try on the new winter clothes, purple flowers match you very well."

Ye Baiting instantly remembered the narrow encounter behind the small dark door, he was exhausted and simply knelt down and the girl sat down, this man imagined that he was begging for such a thing without authorization!

You are only matched with Xiao Zihua, and your whole family is matched with Xiao Zihua!

Shen Jiang was very shocked, and looked at Ye Baiting like an innocent boy who was caught in a fairy dance——

The two of you even secretly hooked up on this kind of thing!I didn’t see it, Young Master Jiao, he pretended to be like the rough men outside in front of me, all kinds of disgusting little skirts, but in fact he secretly hooked up with his boss, and used all kinds of means to try on the new little skirts... The position is so coquettish ah!

Ye Baiting: ...

Destroy this stupid world!

Qiu Yiqing: "Let's begin."

Shen Jiang was stunned. This is... the beginning?Seeing that he brought Young Master Jiao over, he didn't have any questions at all, didn't even ask?

Qiu Xingqing's eyes narrowed dangerously: "Why, the board is not enough, and you still have to work hard?"

"No, no, no," Shen Jiang quickly waved his hands, "You have sharp eyes, how dare your subordinates come again? It is true that my subordinates are very good at looking at corpses when they solved the case before, so..."

Qiu Yiqing: "Okay, let's start."

The body of the deceased was placed on the mortuary table, doing the work he was used to, no matter what the environment, no matter who was watching, Ye Baiting was not nervous, stretched out his arms and rolled up his sleeves, and started calmly.

The Wuzuo room is much cleaner than the imperial prison, and everything is in order. There are enough cotton cloths, and it is still possible to make a simple mask.He did it in twos and threes, looked at the empty palm, and paused for a moment, if only there were gloves...

But at this time, where can I find gloves?

He shook his head, went to the sink to wash his hands, came to the mortuary table, and pulled off the white shroud.

The deceased's rigor was very obvious, and he maintained the posture at the time of death.

Compared with the urgent time limit requirements for solving the case, the government here cares more about the dignity of the deceased. Generally, after watching the scene and recording everything, the transported body will try to lay down as flat as possible. sent over.

The scene of the death was scary enough. A single corpse placed on the mortuary table did not lose any points. It seemed even more terrifying!

Shen Jiang sneaked a few glances at Young Master Jiao... Is it okay if you don't have any expressions?Are you really not afraid at all?

Okay, you are the young master, you are awesome.

Ye Baiting first inspected the entire corpse, the hair, the state of the clothes, the characteristics of the limbs, then opened his eyelids to look, stretched out his finger and pressed on the arm of the deceased——

"The cornea is slightly turbid, the corpse is patchy, and the stripes start to merge, and the color gradually darkens, and gathers on the arms, inner neck, abdomen, front of the thighs, etc., the acupressure completely subsides and changes color, and the fingers reunite - the time of death of the deceased Within four hours."

Shen Jiang did the math, now is the end of Chen Shi, within four hours, that is to say, people die after Zi Shi?

Ye Baiting inspected the deceased's wrists and ankles, where they were bound by cowhide ropes: "...the epidermis was contused, peeled off and bled, with blurred boundaries, tissue shrinkage, obvious bruises, a large number of scabs that were dark red... there was no tissue shrinkage, and no subcutaneous bleeding Or a small amount of sallow wound with coagulation phenomenon."

Shen Jiang: "What do you mean? Why do you have everything?"

"The former is an injury during life, and the latter is an injury after death," Ye Baiting said. Up, within an hour."

He unbuttoned the clothes of the deceased, wanting to continue to observe, he unbuttoned his pants and paused: "Eh?"

Shen Jiang came over: "What's wrong?"

"This deceased person, you should pay attention to those who have close relationships with him," Ye Baiting pointed at the private part of the deceased, near the excretory organs, "Chancre, a round or oval ulcer with clear boundaries and herpes, this is... Hualiu."

Modern medicine is called syphilis, and this term should not exist in ancient times.

Shen Jiang moved closer: "Yo, this freshman has contracted such a dirty disease - can this be seen?"

Ye Baiting: "This kind of trace has cartilage-like hardness to the touch. If hundreds of households don't believe it, why don't you try it?"

Shen Jiang didn't want it, and subconsciously wanted to jump back, but before he moved, the back of his neck tightened, and he was pulled away by Qiu Yiqing. Qiu Yiqing not only pulled him away, but also pulled Ye Baiting: "Let's leave some."

No, you can pull it as long as you want, can a bowl of water be leveled?Why would you be violent when you pull me, and be gentle and gentle when you pull Young Master Jiao, as if you are afraid of breaking someone's waist?Would it be great to be able to conduct an autopsy, or superior to others!

Ye Baiting smiled at Qiu Yiqing: "Commander, don't worry, this disease has a fixed transmission route, just take a look, it doesn't matter."

But—he really lacks gloves, but unfortunately he doesn't know how to find them.

Qiu Yiqing glanced over somewhere of the deceased, but his brows were still tight: "That should be far away."

Shen Jiang felt something was wrong, but he hadn't thought about it yet, and was dropped by the commander again: "Immediately after the inspection, go find some gloves. They should be thin, waterproof and oil-proof."

"what?"

Qiu Xunqing looked at Ye Baiting's hand: "Small size."

"...the deceased had no obvious external injuries, only a few scratches on his knees, which should have been caused by his kneeling position. The murderer did not torture him violently. He was only strangled by a rope, and this kneeling position—this position lasted until his death. back."

Before Shen Jiang could think through Qiu Yiqing's words, he was immediately pulled back by Ye Baiting's message, and he clucked his tongue when he heard it: "That is to say, he was tied up for a long time? The rope will keep him tied until he dies." , has been bleeding—until he was killed by the murderer, and the blood all over his body was radiated?"

Ye Baiting nodded: "Yes."

But how did the murderer restrain him?Still tied up in this pose?

He moved his gaze upwards, moved it a little bit, and looked very carefully. When he reached the neck, his pupils paused suddenly: "There is an injury on the left side of the neck. The deceased has been knocked unconscious by the murderer." He moved away and pointed to the neck. The side injury, "Look here—the wound on the neck of the deceased is too large and deep, and it is easy to cover up the redness, swelling and bruises. This mark from the left side to the back is a wound from a blow during his lifetime."

Shen Jiang poked his head to look carefully, but didn't understand: "Where is it?" It's all bloody, why can't he see anything special?

Ye Baiting: "If you are blind, don't come out and show yourself."

Qiu Yiqing recognized it at a glance, stretched out his finger, and clicked the location: "Here is the edge of gravity - hit first and then kill, the traces cover each other, the murderer is smart."

Shen Jiang: "Knocked out first...and then tied up and killed?"

Ye Baiting was speechless: "Otherwise? If you were the deceased, would you obediently be tied up like this?"

Shen Jiang shook his head like a wave drum: "That can't be done."

"The fatal injury in this case can be seen clearly at a glance, it's on the neck," Ye Baiting pondered, "This amount of bleeding would kill anyone, but this posture is a bit strange...why do you kneel?"

Shen Jiang: "Fang, is it convenient for bloodletting?"

Now even Qiu Yiqing doubted his decision to be promoted: "The problem is not the posture itself, but the purpose. Why did the murderer insist on this step?"

Shen Jiang: ...

Ye Baiting: "Where's the picture of the scene?"

Shen Jiang quickly took it out, Ye Baiting took it, Qiu Yiqing also leaned forward, the two of them were looking at a piece of paper together, their heads were very close, their breaths were faintly intertwined, Ye Baiting was very focused, apparently he didn't notice.

There was no change in the expressions of the two, Shen Jiang's heart was jumping up to his throat, don't, don't get so close, their faces are almost stuck together!Isn't it embarrassing to come back to your senses in a while!

Don't think I don't understand, when it comes to that kind of embarrassment, you two have thick skins and you won't be embarrassed, who could be the unlucky one?Of course it was me, poor Baihu, a bystander!Maybe I will beat you up again, blame me for not reminding you!

He opened his mouth slowly, trying to remind vaguely: "Then what, I tried my best to restore everything at the scene, the footprints next to it are from officers and soldiers, and under the wall, they must not be left at the time of the crime, there can be so many murderers what..."

Ye Baiting couldn't bear it in the alley, and suddenly said: "When the deceased was suffering from pain, the murderer seemed to stand aside and watch."

Qiu Yiqing tapped on the picture, not far from the corpse, there was a pair of footprints: "Stand here, at least for a quarter of an hour?"

What is this man doing?

The two looked at each other for a moment, raised their eyes slightly, and looked at Shen Jiang together.

Shen Jiang was taken aback: "Again, there are new clues?"

But I can't guess!I don't know everything like you guys, can I let the honest man go!

Qiu Yiqing: "Kneel down."
