The Delicate Lady Coroner

In a piece of ice and snow, Luke took the embroidery agents to dig bones in Wang Qingfu’s old house. The bones were in the dry lotus pond in the backyard. However, now the weather is freezing and the soil in the lotus pond is frozen like iron. The progress of the embroidery agents Extremely slow.

On a straw mat on the shore, there are several excavated human bones. Although the bones can be distinguished as human bones, it is impossible to judge whether the deceased is a man or a woman, nor can it be judged whether the deceased is longevity or not. And know.

Huo Weilou stood on the shore wearing a black cloak, and Luke returned to the shore not long afterwards, “Master Hou, I’m afraid it will take a whole day to dig it all.”

In the distance, an embroidered clothing envoy brought a basin of carbon dust and poured it on the frozen soil. Huo Weilou said quietly: “Don’t worry, the background of the longevity has been checked?”

Lu Ke nodded, “The clear records in the palace, together with Sun Lu’s remarks, are already clear. They all entered the palace at the age of seven or eight, and spent 40 years in the palace. Their longevity is pretty good in the palace. Everyone said that he was diligent and honest, and because of this, he has not made any mistakes in these years, and he has done a lot of work.”

“He was a few years younger than Sun Lu. He left the palace earlier and asked for grace. This matter was asked to Chief Executive Fuquan. He still remembers this matter, and he finally gave the affection, otherwise he will probably have to stay for a few more years. To get out.”

Huo Weilou asked again: “There are relatives in other clan land?”

“There is a cousin, who later visited him in Beijing many times. The cousin passed away the year before, and only his nephew was left. In fact, it is reasonable to say that such a senior **** like him can be regarded as an **** in the palace. Destiny, although he has a cousin in the clan, he is not close to him, and I don’t know what he thinks–“

Huo Weilou stared at him and said: “If you dare not stay in the palace for anything, it makes sense if you ask for the elderly care in the palace early.”

Lu Ke looked at the human bones on the straw mat, “Hou Ye, do you ask the county owner to examine the bones? The county owner’s skills will surely help us determine the identity of the dead.”

If it was in the past, Huo Weilou would respond right away, but now Bo Ruo feels unwell, he hesitates a lot, but at this moment, there is embroidered clothes outside that makes striding over here, “Hou Ye, Father Fu and The county owner is here—”

Huo Weilou raised his sword eyebrows, and his frosty expression suddenly came alive earlier, and he walked outwards. After not taking a few steps, he saw Father Fu and Bo Ruoyou walking inside, Bo Ruoyou dressed in snow. The cloak, walking between the ice and snow, is lined with ice muscle and bones, beautiful and refreshing.

Huo Weilou’s footsteps was faster, and he walked to the front and said, “Why are you here?”

In front of these many people, Bo Ruoyou was blessed, Huo Weilou grabbed her, and Bo Ruoyou just smiled and said: “I heard that the corpse was found. I guess Hou Ye will wait for someone to examine the bone, so I will come. NS.”

Huo Weilou then glanced at Father Fu in a cold swish, and Father Fu squashed his mouth, very aggrieved.

“It’s freezing cold, I didn’t want you to come.” Huo Weilou led Bo Ruoyou to the bank of the lotus pond.

Bo Ruoyou smiled and said: “I guessed it, but fortunately I’m here, otherwise Master Hou will probably leave this job to someone else.”

Huo Weilou shook his head helplessly and pointed to the straw mat on the shore, “Now only these are dug out, and the others are still buried underneath. The embroiderer found another old steward in Wang Qingfu’s house and asked about how long he lived back then. When the **** was away from Beijing, the old steward said that no soil had been moved in the mansion in those few days, so the people underneath went to the cellar secret rooms, wells, ponds and other places in the mansion.”

“After this mansion was confiscated, there was no new owner. The lotus pond was already dry, and the silt on the surface was washed away by the summer rain, and the bones underneath were exposed, so it was quick to find it.”

Bo Ruoyouben also felt that the search was quick, and she understood it when she heard it. She squatted down and looked at the bones, “It’s human bones, looking at the calf tibia and fibula. It is difficult for men and women to judge. If you can find the skull or pelvis You can see more of the pubic bone.”

“The soil underneath is freezing badly. I should be able to find it later.” After saying this, Huo Weilou’s eyes swept around, looked at a room not far away, and told Luke, “Go and put a charcoal in that room.” Pots.”

Lu Ke responded and hurried away. Soon, Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou to the house and waited.

The room was already empty, and the door was covered and a charcoal basin was placed. It was much warmer than the outside. The two were seated on the open chairs they had moved. Huo Weilou held her cold hand and said, “Did you sleep well last night?”

Bo Ruoyou didn’t hide it from him, “I had a nightmare in the middle of the night last night, and it was strange. I sometimes feel that my hands and feet are not at my disposal.”

Huo Weilou felt very distressed, “But thinking about Lan Zhou’s case again?”

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, “I didn’t think too much, and I usually don’t remember what dreams I had when I woke up, but I remember vaguely last night. In my dream, I heard the sound of three clear bells and saw a forest. Thinking, that scenery can’t come out of thin air, could it be the place where my brother and I were taken away back then?”

At this point, a senseless panic struck her heart again. She held Huo Weilou’s hand instead, a little disturbed. Huo Weilou noticed it and held her both hands in her palms, “Don’t think about this. Lest it be hard to endure.”

Bo Ruoyou held his mind firmly, “If you want to think about it, I always feel that I am sick. If I say that I am mad, but I am just like an ordinary person. I have no signs of symptoms. After the nightmare last night, When I woke up, I even felt that someone was urging me to hide in the closet. If I didn’t believe in those, I would feel that I was being attacked by evil spirits.”

Huo Weilou knows Bo Ruoyou’s temperament. No matter how scared she is, she will never escape because of this. Moreover, this disease is a hidden danger. She is not afraid, and he can’t stop her, “Someone urges you to hide in the cabinet? “

“I just feel that my hands and feet are suddenly unwilling, like hiding in the cabinet instinctively, as if I’m scared, but I don’t understand why this is–“

Bo Ruoyou is accustomed to the sheer cocoon when investigating a case. At this moment, he wants to know where the strange behavior that happened to him came from. Huo Weilou calmly said: “Mr. Cheng doesn’t know exactly how sick, how can you figure it out? “

Bo Ruoyou shook his head again, “My illness is related to the events of the year, and I may have seen scenes in my dreams, but I can’t remember it. The first few times I woke up from sleep and got sick suddenly, so most of them It has something to do with the dreams I’ve had. I wonder if I’m scared, could it be that when things happened back then, I had the same experience?”

Bo Ruoyou’s words made Huo Weilou’s mind raised, “Also hiding somewhere?”

Bo Ruoyou nodded, “My brother and I were taken away back then, I wonder if I avoided somewhere after I escaped…”

At this point, Bo Ruoyou looked at him suddenly, “I want to go to the Yamen to see Li Shen’s testimony.”

Knowing that Li Shen’s guilt had been determined, Bo Ruoyou didn’t intend to investigate it carefully, so as not to cause serious illness, but last night she had a cold back when she thought of it now, and she understood that it was not enough to just rely on time to dilute the matter.

Huo Weilou began to hesitate again. Hearing Li Shen’s confession that day, Bo Ruoyou felt very uncomfortable. Now he is looking at the confession. What if it is causing her illness?

Bo Ruoyou saw that he was hesitating, so he resolutely said: “Master Hou, if my strange illness comes from a heart disease, maybe I will heal when I remember what happened that night. Now I can’t remember it, so I can only rely on Li. The gentry’s testimony comes to mind.”

Her eyes were firm, and the beautiful Wutong looked at him unblinkingly, and Huo Weilou thought for a long time before responding with a good voice.

Although she accepted her testimony, the bone test is still important now. The two waited in the room for an hour, and the deceased’s skull and other parts of the skeleton were dug out by the embroidered clothes ambassador.

Bo Ruoyou put on his handguards and went out, cleaned his skull in the ice and snow, then spliced ​​the corpses he found, and began to examine the bones. “The deceased’s skull was thicker, the cranial cavity was also large, and the forehead and top were curved. The square shape, the supraorbital rim is relatively blunt, and the top line is also thick…It is certain that the deceased was a man.”

Bo Ruo carefully looked at the skull, and then went to check the pubic bone that was found. “The pubic bone has a smooth surface with small holes, the front edge of the front edge is raised, and the periphery is relatively blunt. The deceased should be between forty-five and fifty-five years old when he died. between.”

“According to the estimation of the body bones, the deceased’s stature was more than five feet and a half. As for how long the deceased died, it is temporarily difficult to estimate. The corpse will completely disintegrate after a person’s death for more than a year. It used to be a lotus pond. The speed will be faster. And based on stature, age and gender, it is difficult to determine how long the deceased is.”

When the voice fell, more bones were found. They were buried in the soil for many years. The dirt on them was heavy. Bo Ruoyou cleaned up first, and then checked carefully. At this moment, she saw that there was a rib on a rib. There was an obvious trace of callus, and she cleaned it up again, and quickly came to the conclusion, “The deceased’s left three ribs were fractured, and it should have been fractured four to five years before his death. Because of his age, Although the broken bones have regrown, they will not recover like a young man without a trace.”

Huo Weilou looked at Luke, and Luke immediately said, “Subordinates go to the palace! Check it out again!”

Huo Weilou nodded, and Bo Ruoyou put down the rib and said, “There is no fatal injury from the bones. It is very likely that it was drowning in the water. The injury on this rib is not old. Such an injury requires at least two days in bed. Healed in March. If it is really longevity, most people in the palace will remember it. If this matter is also closed, the deceased can be identified.”

After checking for a long time, her hand was frozen ignorantly. When she took off her handguard, she saw that all her fingers were red. Huo Weilou put her hand in her palm and covered it. The bones underneath will take some time, I will accompany you to the Yamen.”

Bo Ruoyou did his best and didn’t want to stay here any longer. When he got into the carriage, Huo Weilou grabbed Bo Ruoyou’s hand and put it into his shirt. His hands were naturally not as warm as his body.

If it’s just behind the inner robes, Huo Weilou actually let her hand touch her chest, which caused a red glow to rise rapidly on Bo Ruoyou’s face, “Hou Ye——”

“Don’t move.” He put her hand on his chest, “it will be warm in a while.”

Bo Ruoyou’s pinna was also dripping with blood, “Why do you need this…”

“I just warm your hands, where do you want to go?”

Bo Ruoyou felt even more embarrassed. Her fingertips regained consciousness, and she could feel his tough texture. The two were not yet married. At this moment, they seemed to be on a blind date. How could she treat them normally?

There was a smile in Huo Weilou’s eyes, and when she realized that her hands were warm, she released her hands compassionately, and put her head down on her palm again. The hot breath instantly made Bo Ruoyou shiver.

He arranged his clothes slowly, as if it were a matter of course, when the carriage stopped in front of the Yamen, the red tide on Bo Ruoyou’s face could withstand retreat.

Li Shen’s case has been transferred to the Criminal Ministry. Fortunately, the original testimony still remained in the yamen. Wu Xiang found out the testimony and handed it to Bo Ruoyou with some worry. “Why do you want to see the testimony suddenly?”

“I seem to remember something.” Bo Ruoyou said.

Huo Weilou was by Bo Ruoyou’s side. Seeing that she had not read the testimony enough, she read it a second time, and her brows became more frowning, and after repeated confirmations, she raised her eyes and looked at the two of them.

She said coldly: “Li Shen’s testimony is a bit weird–“
