The Delicate Lady Coroner

The wind and waves on the Moon Lake were calm, but Bo Ruoyou's words fell like a stone in the lake, and a ripple was swept from the bottom of Huo Weilou's heart. His eyes fell on her, and the gleam of light clustered in her eyes, "How to lead him out?"

Bo Ruoyou said: "The murderer is hiding in the garden. Maybe he is a servant who is responsible for sweeping, or a craftsman who trains and raises birds. , The most agile way is for us to lead the murderer out. If we wait any longer, even if the murderer has no chance of committing a crime, he might escape."

Bo Ruoyou thought while talking, and then went to see the dead bird in the cage, "The murderer wants to use this method to seek revenge, and he has to make a lot of preparations. Before that, Ye Fei was unprepared, and this allowed him to succeed. What will the murderer do if he wants to murder someone?"

It is not easy to repeat the murder of the Zhao family members. Bo Ruoyou has examined many corpses and has seen many cases. When deducing how the murderer committed crimes, he must guess the murderer’s motives and then think about the murderer. How to murder people step by step in order to find the murderer’s mistakes and omissions, and now, she also wants to use the murderer’s perspective to make predictions.

"These methods of harming people are quite harsh. If the murderer acts like this, he depends on the victim's painful death. Therefore, he must first find the right time to control the target without dying, and poisoning is also possible. Or sneak attacks are all methods. In addition, he has to look for artifacts at his fingertips and break the bones of the victim to death. This is not easy."

Bo Ruoyou looked at the ya chap who was not standing far away, frowned and said, "This is too difficult. Now there are ya chai monitoring in the garden. If Liu and Qing are put back, they will definitely have to send more people, the murderer. It’s not easy to do this."

Huo Weilou listened to her whisper, his face was contemplative, but did not continue, but said: "Liu Qing and the others, although they didn't know who Zhao Jiaban died and who lived, what if The murderer was a survivor of the Zhao family, how could they not recognize it? Even after more than ten years, the appearance of people will not change drastically. None of the five of them recognizes the murderer, which is a bit weird."

Bo Ruoyou's heart moved slightly, "It was said earlier that most of the survivors of Zhaojiaban have burns on their bodies. Should we use this to search in the garden? If the search results are not found, it may be that we suspected the wrong direction. The survivors of the Zhaojiaban are indeed related to the case, but they are not the perpetrators."

It is not difficult to search the entire garden. If anyone is found to have burns, they are the most suspected. Wu Xiang also stared at the Huo Wei Building when he heard the words, as if as long as the Huo Wei Building nodded, he would immediately go to get people.

However, Huo Weilou said: "If you don't rush to search, the current search is equivalent to telling the murderer that we knew about the fire in Zhao's family.

After a pause, Huo Weilou said again: "The murderer in this case is thoughtful and uses the blood sparrow as a foretaste, as if to say that we can't find him. I guess, he is afraid that there is no such obvious injury on his body that makes us suspicious. Or, he had already thought about a countermeasure."

Bo Ruoyou thought that the murderer had deliberately nailed the coffin to Song Zhongming, so as to transfer the ya chase to kill Ye Fei. He did feel that this person was very intelligent, and her heart sank slightly, and she couldn't think of a comprehensive method for a while. .

Seeing her eyes condensed, Huo Weilou calmed down: "Don't worry too much, what you said makes sense, we can draw him out."

Bo Ruoyou has expectations in his eyes, "How can I arrange it?"

Although Bo Ruoyou has this idea, he has no foolproof plan. Huo Weilou's lips raised slightly, "The murderer is clever and cunning, and more confident. It is not difficult to make good use of this point to make a layout."

He looked at Wu Xiang and said, "We dispatched personnel to strictly guard the people in the garden, and when Sun Zhao is finished, he will bring Liu Qing and Chen Mo over."

Wu Xiang responded and called the ya who had been in the garden to ask where the blood finch came from. The ya said, "I have already asked, it is the blood finches raised in the garden. The blood finches were sent into the forest last night. It has never been taken back for stocking. This morning, the dead blood finches were found. The descendants took the blood finches back into their cages and counted them again. Indeed, one was missing."

"The master who tamed the birds said that these blood finches are all spiritual and easily frightened. It is difficult for ordinary people to catch them when they enter the bird forest. They put the birds in the forest, and they did not expect that the murderer would catch them again. Birds, and several masters who know how to train birds, have witnesses from last night to this morning, and they are not the ones who killed the blood finches."

Huo Weilou said solemnly: "A murderer can tame birds."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Bo Ruoyou, "When you went to look at the case file, besides the master juggler with the surname Qian, were there any detailed records of the other two people who were alive?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "No, there is no surname, only the first name, and it should be the first name in the troupe."

Huo Weilou turned around and looked around. Because of another incident in the garden, no one dared to walk around randomly. The surrounding area was quiet, and his eyes suddenly flashed with two sharp lights, as if it was only at this moment that the case was really true. Of the heart.

"It seems we have to meet those two people." He looked at Wu Xiang, "Look at the garden a little bit tighter. It's best to watch the water leak."

Wu Xiang looked at him, "Don't worry, Lord Hou, don't let out a single bird!"

Huo Weilou took another look at the cage containing the dead bird, and left with Bo Ruoyou, and got into the carriage. Bo Ruo looked at him intently, "Hou Ye already cares?"

Huo Weilou pulled her closer to him, "How do I know that I'm already worrying about it?"

Bo Ruoyou tilted his head to look at him for a moment, "I can't tell you, Master Hou is always quiet, as if everything is done in my mind, in my opinion, I feel that Master Hou has a plan in his heart."

Huo Weilou chuckled. Although she did not deliberately, the words were trust and reliance, which made him quite satisfied. He took her into his arms and couldn't help kissing her on the forehead. "Then I said There is no strategy, will you be disappointed?"

Bo Ruoyou put his hand on his shoulder and looked at him carefully, "Is it because I thought wrong? Although Lord Hou didn't show it, I can still feel it after I followed Lord Hou for many days. Lord Hou came and went with me in the morning. At the time of the yamen, I didn’t pay much attention to this case, just like an ordinary business. It wasn’t until a moment ago that Lord Hou really took it seriously..."

Her black pupil was bright and clear, and her words did not conceal anything. There was a flash of light in Huo Weilou's eyes, seeming to be a little surprised. He leaned forward and met her eyes, "How can you tell?"

"An ordinary case, Master Hou usually investigates and handles, but this murderer is arrogant and agile, making Master Hou even more want to catch him."

Bo Ruoyou finished speaking hesitantly, only to feel that some words were not expressing his meaning. Huo Weilou has always spared no effort in tolerance, but for a person like him, the more cunning and ruthless the opponent, the more it can arouse his emotions. The slightest difference was not obvious. She might not have seen it in the past, but now she unconsciously sets her gaze on him, and can always perceive him more keenly.

There was a low laugh from Huo Weilou's throat, and he couldn't help but rubbed her lips a few times. He had no desire in his eyes, but was a little pleased. When he parted, he only cherished her and hugged her in his arms. There is a plan."

Although he had a plan, Huo Weilou did not elaborate. When he arrived at the Yamen, Sun Zhao happened to finish the interrogation of Chen Mo. Seeing Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou come back, Sun Zhao said: "The interrogation of Chen Mo is almost the same as what Liu Qing said. "

"Banzhu Zhao and his wife have no children, and they have taught many apprentices. After arriving in the capital from the south, they first attracted some guests by using Chaozhou operas and earned income. Then the couple began to adopt apprentices, and all they received were left outside. In the past two years, droughts occurred frequently in the northwest. Many refugees came to the capital. Almost all of the more than a dozen children they adopted were homeless refugees."

"A few of them spent three years in the troupe, learning acrobatics, and usually respected the master Zhao as their master. But after three years, the troupe gradually became unable to make ends meet. It would be difficult to raise so many children, so the master Zhao Asking a few older troupes to leave the troupe and make a living on their own. They had learned a lot of figure skills at the time, and it was not useless to go out. However, they did not expect that the first troupe to go tortured them. That's choking."

"This tone fell on the master Zhao, who abandoned them. Chen Mo said that the benefactor Liu Qing mentioned is true, and there is indeed a Bodhisattva Sutra. He was on the dock at that time, and the man was dressed in luxurious clothes. They ate food and silver, and they didn’t need them to work for him. They just let them listen to the lecture for half a day. Chen Mo said he didn’t like it and didn’t listen to what was said in it."

"Later the benefactor left, and the other people were even more angry with the master Zhao. The last time they discussed, they returned to the capital and killed all the people in the Zhao family. The stone medicine that poisoned the rats was bought in the grocery store, because it is not counted. It's cheap, and they buy very little. They came from the Zhao family's class. They are naturally familiar with the surrounding area and it is not difficult to administer medicine."

"The murder was commanded by Jiang Xing, who was the first to die. He was twenty to five years old. He was eleven years old. He was the eldest of several children. He admired the benefactor very much, and he said that he would do evil and retribution. Yes, they killed five people, and they all used different methods, and they seemed to have received different retribution."

"Because they are refugees, they have suffered a lot on the road. They watched the death of their relatives one by one. Quite a few, in the Zhao family class, they also learned kung fu and swordsmanship, so killing people is not very difficult for them, and more importantly, they felt that killing Zhao Banzhu and others was listening to the words of the Bodhisattva. , Will be blessed by the Bodhisattva."

Sun Zhao took a breath and said: "Now I don't know if they are trying to excuse me, or if it was true at the time. After killing a few people, they started to be afraid, so they finally decided to light a fire, leaving those who weren't dead. They would be burned to death by the fire, and the corpses were destroyed. The next day, they fled the city and hid in a village outside the city for two days. Hearing that the incident had caused a serious disturbance in the city, they did not dare to come back and went straight. I arrived in Luozhou, and later moved into the theater."

"I spent the middle few years in Luozhou very hard. I thought I could find glory in Beijing. The brothers separated and went back to the capital. They went into the theater to paint the boat and pretended not to know each other." Sun Zhao shook his head and said, "If not listen. Their testimony is the same, it is hard to believe that they were still children when these things happened."

After listening to Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou, the last trace of doubt in their hearts was also resolved. They were both adopted by Master Zhao at the age of seven or eight. The seven or eight-year-old children have begun to learn about the world, and they are accustomed to the sufferings of the world, and they seek survival in their hearts. Their instincts are greater than good and evil thoughts. Pan Master Zhao saved their lives. They are not grateful. On the contrary, after three years of good life, when they suffer again, they turn the humiliation and pain in their hearts into resentment towards Pan Master Zhao. , Coupled with the so-called Bodhisattva Sutra, they did evil with peace of mind.

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou: "What are the names of the two in the file?"

"One is called Yu Ge'er and the other is Hua Hua." Bo Ruoyou remembered very clearly, but this name seemed to have been taken by Class Master Zhao. It was in the middle of the shop, and there were many people with this name.

Huo Weilou looked at Sun Zhao, "Go and ask Liu Qing, how old these two people, plus Master Qian, looked like back then, and what are their obvious characteristics."

Sun Zhao led the way, and Huo Weilou instructed the embroiderer beside him, "Let Luke come to see me."

When the embroiderer left, Bo Ruoyou thought of Lu Ke's ability to learn from other people's voices. Her eyes rolled, wondering whether Huo Weilou would use a similar method.

Sun Zhao came out very quickly, holding a confession in his hand and handing it to Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou took it in his hand and looked at it, and his eyes quickly appeared in a daze. Only four years old, Master Qian is thirty-two, and the three of them are all ordinary in appearance, without scars, birthmarks and other marks. Goodbye now, most of them can only recognize Master Qian."

Seven or eight-year-old boys first saw the bones, but the four-year-old boy was still a baby. After 14 years, if these two appeared in front of them, the least likely to be recognized was this brother Yu.

Huo Weilou gave the certificate to Bo Ruoyou to watch, and after a while he told Sun Zhao, "Prepare, and when it gets dark, send Liu Qing and Chen Mo back to Bainiaoyuan and put them under strict control."

Sun Zhao opened his mouth, but Huo Weilou didn't explain, he had to ask the Ya Chai to send Liu and Qing back to Bainiaoyuan.

Liu Qing and Chen Mo in the cell were very desperate after they confessed, but they shuddered when they thought of sending them back to the Bird Park, thinking that the Bird Park had hidden a murderer who came to seek revenge, Jiang Xing, Yu Xun and Ye Fei, these three died more miserably than one. They would rather be convicted in prison than suffer the suffering.

But they have no room for bargaining.

At sunset, Wu Xiang returned from the Hundred Bird Park. He had arranged the manpower in the Hundred Bird Park. He and Sun Zhao escorted Liu Qing and Chen Mo back to the Hundred Bird Park.

Huo Weilou was not in a hurry. When Luke arrived at the Yamen, he explained to him in detail for a moment. Soon, Luke rushed to the Yamen with a few embroidered clothes ambassadors.

Bo Ruoyou didn't know what Huo Wei Tower's plan was. It was too late, but Huo Wei Tower was calm and calm to send her home. Upon seeing this, she became more sure that Huo Wei Tower had a perfect plan.

The carriage moved around, and Bo Ruoyou couldn't help it anymore, so he asked, "How did Lord Hou plan?"

Huo Weilou beckoned to her, and Bo Ruoyou leaned closer. He hugged her waist and whispered in his ears. Bo Ruoyou only felt that the heat of his lips made her ears itchy. When he finished speaking, she Half of her body was a little numb, but what he said really surprised her, and he couldn't take care of all that, "Is this method really feasible?"

Huo Weilou smiled, "Does this not believe me?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head quickly, "Naturally not, but the murderer is cunning, in case he doesn't give in..."

"Cunning, but also anxious, he can't wait long." Huo Weilou stared at Bo Ruo's red ear beads, almost wanting to stretch out his hand to twiddle, but he held it back, and said: "If you don't believe it, then Make a bet with me."

"Huh? What are you betting on?" Bo Ruoyou asked, following him.

Huo Weilou's eyes became unpredictable, and an ominous premonition filled Bo Ruoyou's heart. She immediately changed her words: "I believe, I believe in Lord Hou, I can't believe it anymore--"

Her trip caused Huo Weilou to laugh, shook his head and didn't tease her again.

Huo Weilou did not leave until she was sent to the gate of the mansion.

Bo Ruoyou had been thinking about what Huo Weilou had said in the evening, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Huo Weilou had carefully studied the murderer's mind, and the more he felt that he had arranged it very well, so that he could rest assured.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bo Ruoyounian's corpses were still in the Yizhuang before the final inspection. After breakfast, they went straight to Yizhuang.

When I arrived at Yizhuang, the sun was high above the sky. Bo Ruoyou entered the door, but he saw that Hu Changqing was in Yizhuang. After asking, he found out that now the weather has turned cold and Uncle Kun who guards Yizhuang is suffering from wind pain in his legs and feet. It is intolerable. Hu Changqing came today to take the leg ointment for Uncle Kun.

Bo Ruoyou didn't expect him to have this intention, but he was a little moved.

When Hu Changqing saw Bo Ruoyou come to examine the bones, he thought that Wu Xiang did not let him do an autopsy in this case. He wanted to leave to avoid suspicion. When he left, Bo Ruoyou stopped him, "Hu Youzuo knows that the bones are steamed." Law?"

Hu Changqing was a little inexplicable, "What is the method of steaming bones?"

This is not knowing, and Bo Ruoyou said: "If Hu Yazuo doesn't know, he can stay and help me for one or two. In the future, if a bone examination is required during the post-mortem, Hu Yazuo will do it himself."

This is to teach him! This made Hu Changqing flattered, and felt embarrassed when he thought of all the previous things.

The bones were placed in the backyard. The steamed bones had to dig out a hole. Bo Ruoyou asked Uncle Kun to point to a soil **** not far from the Yizhuang, and then told the yacha who stayed in the Yizhuang how to do the hole. To help, he sent the bones to the cave. Bo Ruoyou asked Zhou Liang to find the spirits and explained every step to Hu Changqing. Hu Changqing held his breath and took his mind to remember. Most of the time he was so busy. The examination of the five skeletons was completed just now.

This bone steaming method is to identify the blood stains on old corpses, and to determine the death wounds. After an investigation, the results are no different from Bo Ruoyou's inference. It is the first time that Hu Changqing saw this bone test method. Bo Ruoyou generously taught him, and I was very grateful, and even more respected Bo Ruoyou than before.

Bo Ruoyou didn't realize it. She did a business, not a business of eating by stunts. One more person with exquisite skills can make a few strands of the wrong soul. Why not? go.

Sun Zhao was handling other official duties in the yamen. Bo Ruoyou handed in the certificate and asked about the Bainiaoyuan. He knew that the embroiderer had taken over the case in the Bainiaoyuan. With assistance in the park, there was no other news to send back, Bo Ruoyou was suspicious, and after leaving the Yamen, he thought about it and went to the Hundred Bird Park.

When he arrived at the Hundred Bird Park, Bo Ruoyou called the door tightly closed. He saw that she was coming, and immediately invited her in. Wu Xiangben patrolled the park and greeted him after a short while.

She asked about the arrangements in the park, and Wu Xiang said: "Don't worry, the murderer has no chance to take advantage of it. I brought twenty people to stay here, and Master Hou also sent an embroiderer. Now Liu Qing and Chen Mo are next to you. Someone stayed and watched, no one else could see them, and they had to be checked when delivering meals. I really couldn't think of how the murderer would do it."

At this point, he thought of something like: "Also, didn't that person killed the bird? Right now all the blades and hammers in the park have been taken away, including the copper hammers and swords used for singing. If you go away, the murderer won't really bring a stone to the door to hit someone."

"But..." Wu Xiang frowned slightly, "but I don't understand what Hou's arrangement is. We look so tight that although the murderer can't contact the target and the victim, it will only crush the murderer. But you can’t force him to show his feet. Yamen has other errands. If you delay like this, will the gains outweigh the losses? There are embroiderers who enter the garden in regular clothes, but they don’t visit the garden. They seem to have other plans."

Today is a sunny day. The scorching sun over his head dissipated the coolness of early winter. Bo Ruoyou even felt that standing under the sun was a bit of roasting. She soothed Wu Xiang, "Master Hou ordered you to guard against death, don’t make the murderer shine Your son’s method of death is murderous, you just do, trust Lord Hou."

Wu Xiang scratched his head, "Naturally I believe it, but I don't understand it. Lord Hou didn't let us control the people too much. Perhaps because the government stayed behind in the garden was much worse, everyone felt very stable, but in the past two days. Without this prerequisite, I am afraid."

Bo Ruoyou raised his lips, "After all, there is a murderer by his side, and everyone is terrified. Now that there are more government officials, everyone feels that they are protected. Naturally, there is no such thing as before."

Bo Ruoyou's trust in Huowei Tower also made Wu Xiang reassured. Bo Ruoyou didn't want to disturb them, and soon left the Bainiaoyuan. She rode a carriage straight to Wuzhaohou Mansion, wanting to see Huowei Tower at this moment. doing what.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Huo Weilou was drinking medicine. The poison was removed very slowly. Therefore, the wound was always repetitive. Cheng Yunzhi was afraid that he would fall to the root of the disease, so he added another prescription.

She told Huo Weilou about the situation in the park, and he was relieved after listening, and Bo Ruoyou asked him, "How many days do you think you have to wait?"

At this time it was dusk, the afterglow was overwhelming, and the sunset glow spread across the sky like wildfires and splashed up like colorful dyes. Huo Wei said in the corridor: "The warlock of the Qin Tianjian said, the weather has been fine in the past few days, I guess four. After five days, there will always be a result."

Bo Ruoyou thought for a moment, and felt very reasonable, but neither she nor Huo Weilou had thought of it, but after only three days, the murderer could not hold back.
