[Seven-Five Doujin] Zhan Guard, please stay!

Only when you look with your heart can you see clearly, what is essential is invisible to the eyes.

At the beginning of the early summer of this year, Emperor Renzong appointed Bao Zheng and asked him to go to the south of the Yangtze River for inspection.When Bao Zheng went south for inspection, the privileged class Huangfu Nan naturally followed him.After staying in Kaifeng for several months, Huangfu Nan also wanted to take this opportunity to go out and let the wind go.No matter in the past or in modern times, she has long admired the literati demeanor of Jiangnan, so she would be very happy if she could go and see them.

All the way from Kaifeng, although there will be complaints along the way, the overall journey is peaceful.It was noon that day, and the group of them was on their way to Hangzhou City, only half an hour before they could enter the city.

Huangfu Nan, Gongsun Ce and others rode horses together. Zhan Zhao, who was dressed in royal blue casual clothes, was riding a black horse to observe the road ahead, while the hungry Huangfu Nan and Gongsun Ce were talking about the snacks in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Gongsun, did you just say that there is something delicious in Hangzhou?" Huangfu Nan licked his lips and looked at Gongsun Ce. Talking about food when he was hungry was a torment, but thinking of going to the city soon , I still can't help but ask.

Gongsun Ce was amused by her greedy look, and said: "The most famous snack in Hangzhou is of course the shortbread. It is crunchy and delicious. It is a well-known local specialty in this area."

Just when Huangfu Nan was about to ask how the Suyoubing was made, suddenly there was a commotion in front of him.

Zhan Zhao in front of him waved his hand to signal everyone to stop.

Huangfu Nan and Gongsun Ce exchanged glances, then looked at Zhan Zhao, who got off his horse and walked to Bao Zheng's sedan chair, "My lord, something seems to be happening ahead."

Bao Zheng opened the curtain and walked out, "Go and have a look."

Zhan Zhao answered yes, and took Zhang Long and Zhao Hu over there. After a while, Zhan Zhao and the others came back, "My lord, a corpse was found in the woods ahead."

Corpse?

Both Huangfu Nan and Gongsun Ce were taken aback.

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, and said, "Let's go and have a look."

When they went to the woods, there were several people dressed as civilians sitting not far from the dead body. When they found the dead body, one of their companions had already gone to report to the government, but unexpectedly met Bao Zheng and others.After Bao Zheng and the others revealed their identities, Zhan Zhao, Gongsun Ce and the others asked several civilians about the situation, and then let them leave the scene.

Gongsun Ce and others were inspecting the corpse, Huangfu Nan couldn't help but also walked over.

Zhang Long accompanied Bao Zheng at a place far away from Gongsun Ce and others, and when he saw Huang Fu Nan walking over, he nodded, "Fourth Miss, Mr. Gongsun and Guard Zhan are doing the autopsy, you just wait here. Don't go there. The corpse is scary, and I don't know who has such a deep hatred with him, and even gouged out his eyes after killing someone."

Huangfu Nan hesitated for a moment, then stopped, Zhan Zhao, who was standing upright, leaned over, and was observing something with Gongsun Ce, Huangfu Nan thought for a while, and said to Bao Zheng: "Brother Yi...I still want to go have a look."

Bao Zheng waved his hand and said, "Don't go there, there are Mr. Gongsun and Zhan's guards. You are a girl, and seeing the bloody corpse may not be able to bear it." Although this trip south, Huangfu Nan followed After coming out, Bao Zheng also felt that this righteous sister was quite smart and clear-headed enough, but that didn't mean that he didn't think that this righteous sister who looked at her delicately could see such a bloody corpse with her eyes gouged out. Will be scared to the knees.

Huangfu Nan said: "If I don't know anything, how can I be investigating the case with you?"

Bao Zheng said: "It's okay, you just need to know what's going on."

Huangfu Nan pursed his lips, frowned, and did not say a word.Looking at her slightly frowning brows, Bao Zheng felt like a bully brother who bullied his younger sister, and a sense of guilt suddenly arose in his heart.Forgive him, he was originally the youngest in the family, since he was a child, his father did not love his mother or his mother. Although the eldest brother treated him well, it was also the brotherhood between men.For this adopted sister whom his wife helped him recognize, Bao Zheng never knew how to treat her better, as if he was a brother, and seemed too rough, so he was a little cautious in private .

Seeing Huangfu Nan frowning without saying a word, the hard-hearted Bao Zheng suddenly softened, and waved his hands helplessly, "You can go if you want, and you can't blame others if you are frightened."

When Huangfu Nan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a smile, "No." As he spoke, he walked quickly to where Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao were.

"You can see that the fatal wound on his body was in the abdomen. He died with a single knife and lost too much blood." Gongsun Ce squatted beside the corpse, carefully observed the corpse, pointed to the eyes that had lost their eyeballs, and said to Zhan Zhao: " There is no trace of struggle on his body, so his eyeballs were gouged out after his death, and this person should have been killed a day ago."

Zhan Zhao nodded, lifted the hem of his clothes and squatted down, "There is no sign of fighting nearby, which means that he came here voluntarily." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the purple-black lips of the deceased, and the bright red on his lips was particularly obvious .

Gongsun Ce followed Zhan Zhao's gaze and said, "That's Rouge. Could it be that he came here for a tryst late at night and died?"

"Several uncles just said that this is the third male corpse found in Hangzhou in the past three months. In the first two months, a man was killed every month. After the death, his eyes were gouged out. Before Zhan Zhao could answer, Huangfu Nan's moderate voice sounded behind the two of them.

Zhan Zhao turned his head and saw Huang Fu Nan standing behind him.

Gongsun Ce was stunned for a moment, "Huangfu, why did your lord let you come here?" Such a bloody scene, how inappropriate for a girl to see.

But Zhan Zhao was a little surprised at Huangfu Nan's calmness. It was different from the last time she witnessed Feng Junxi committing suicide. Although watching a person's life pass by is a cruel thing, the scene at that time was very different from the scene now. This corpse is dripping with blood, his eyes have been dug out, his face is covered with blood, and there are some insects crawling on his body. Even for a brave person, if he is not used to seeing corpses and death, it is impossible She got used to it, but Huangfu Nan's performance was beyond his expectation, she hardly changed her face.

Huangfu Nan's gaze fell on the corpse, and he said, "I'll follow the case to investigate, so I can't be ignorant of everything."

Gongsun Ce smiled when he heard this, and made room for her.Among the people in Kaifeng Mansion, he had the most contact with Huangfu Nan. He found that Huangfu Nan was very good at logical reasoning, and sometimes he would re-enact the crime scene with him according to the case description in the brochure.

"What do you think?" Gongsun Ce asked.

Huangfu Nan lowered his head, his eyes fell on the bright red on the lips of the corpse, and asked, "Is this rouge poisonous?"

Gongsun Ce said: "I don't think ordinary rouge is poisonous, but for the sake of caution, I took some back and tested it again. Huangfu, who do you think the murderer is?"

"Well, the murderer is a woman." After a pause, she continued, "And it should be a woman who has practiced martial arts or studied medicine."

Zhan Zhao wanted to find out the depth of Huangfu Nan, so he followed her words and asked, "How do you know?"

Huangfu Nan said: "There was no trace of fighting at the scene, he came here voluntarily. The rouge on his lips shows that he was making out with a woman before he died." It is the easiest time to take his life, so I think the murderer did it when he was making out with him. Gongsun also said that the victim was killed by a knife, which shows that the murderer has a certain understanding of the vital organs of the human body and knows how to kill him. With one knife, only those who practice martial arts or medicine can understand the structure of the human body so well."

"But I don't understand, why did she goug out his eyeballs? If the murderer just wanted the victim's life, she had already done it, why did she goug out his eyeballs after killing the victim?" Gongsun Ce asked.

Zhan Zhao squatted and found his legs numb, so he stood up and said, "Maybe the murderer is collecting their eyeballs."

Gongsun Ce: "..."

Huangfu Nan was startled, then nodded and said: "It's not impossible." In this world, there are all kinds of collectors, and it's not surprising that a sick person who likes to collect people's eyes suddenly appeared. thing.

Zhan Zhao glanced at Huangfu Nan, and then said to Gongsun Ce: "Anyway, this is the third corpse that appeared outside Hangzhou City. Every victim was murdered in the same way, so we have reason to suspect that this is the same person What we did. Let's report the situation to the adults first, and then go to the Hangzhou mansion to ask the prefect of Hangzhou about the case."
