Yan Ruyu glanced at Song Ping and explained patiently.

“Hands can be said to be a person’s second face.”

"For example, you and Cui Chong, you are both men, about the same age, do you have the same hands?"

Song Ping recalled that he reached the bottom of the cliff first, and then Cui Chong came down carefully. He reached out to hold Cui Chong's hand.

Indeed, it is different.

It's not about shape or size, but something else.

"No, Cui Chong's hands are relatively tender, while my palms are much rougher than his, because I have been traveling around the world for many years, always holding a sword in my hand."

As he spoke, he suddenly understood why Yan Ruyu said that just now.

"I understand. Although Cui Chong is a constable, he doesn't practice much and has few cases, so the skin on his hands is much more delicate."

"Same, if there are two women, one is the master and the other is a maid, no matter how unfavored the master is, she will not do rough labor, but maids are different. Except for the wealthy families, the head maids do not need to do rough labor, but all others need to do it."

"But for a family like the Wu family, it's obviously not like that. So, if the hands of the corpse are still there, we can tell from the hands whether it's the eldest lady or a maid."

Yan Ruyu was very satisfied with what he said.

"Yes, you are right, that is what you mean."

Yan Ruyu showed a smile on her face. She said that subordinates needed to be taught, but more importantly, they needed to be able to think independently. Only in this way could they be thoughtful and have a high success rate when doing things. When they were out there, there were some things that they had no chance to correct at all.

"Princess, how do we judge now?"

Song Ping thought about the results himself and received praise, which made him feel full of energy.

"There is another very important key point, which is why I asked Cui Chong to leave the body behind temporarily."

Yan Ruyu pointed at the corpse's pelvis and said, "The pelvis is also an important basis for judging a person's age. Moreover, the human pelvis is hard and not easily damaged. I think this is why the pelvis is left behind in this corpse."

"Can this tell one's age?" Song Ping was surprised.

What a surprise.

"Yes, although we cannot strictly determine the exact age, we can have a rough range. I have seen Madam Wu and her maid, and the age difference between them is more than ten years."

Song Ping suddenly realized that this could indeed help determine who it was.

The princess knows so much.

"She was so miserable. She was ignored when she was alive, and her body was incomplete after her death. She was eaten by wild beasts like this..."

Before Song Ping finished his sigh, Linlang suddenly said, "This doesn't look like something wild animals would eat."

Linlang hasn't spoken a word since the mutilated corpse was taken out, and her frown has never relaxed.

Song Ping was shocked when he heard this: "No... not a beast? What do you mean?"

The boss was also surprised.

Huo Changhe looked at the wound carefully. It was jagged and not caused by a knife.

Yan Ruyu encouraged, "Linlang, tell me."

Linlang cleared her throat and squatted beside the corpse: "Master, I grew up on the grassland and often saw wolves. I even fought with them and snatched cattle and sheep from their mouths."

"I know very well what a corpse looks like after being bitten by a wolf."

Song Ping couldn't help but say, "It's not a wolf, but it can't be said that it's not a wild beast. We haven't found out what it is yet."

"I haven't finished yet," Linlang rolled her eyes at him, "Wolves are representative carnivorous predators. Even if they are not, bears and tigers are actually not much different. They all have sharp teeth and can tear apart when they bite. The sharp teeth can even crush bones."

"But look at this. Although the wound is uneven and not caused by a sword or weapon, it is not caused by a bite or tear from a big fang."

Song Ping stared at it carefully. Although he was confused, he felt that what Linlang said made sense.

As he watched, he subconsciously asked, "In your opinion, if it's not a beast, then it could be a teaching guide?"

Linlang had been thinking and observing just now. Now that she was asked, she expressed her thoughts.

“Like a human.”

Song Ping stumbled forward, almost falling on the corpse. His face turned pale, and he looked back at Linlang.

"You..." Isn't this nonsense? He just thought what the little girl said made sense.

Take it back!

He was speechless and felt like vomiting.

The big boss was also stunned: "No way?"

Linlang pursed her lips slightly, her face tense: "I think so, but why would people eat people, and eat them raw, I don't know."

She added: "It's not a beast anyway."

Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "Linlang's words are well-founded. Everyone should be aware of this first. Don't tell anyone about this. Song Ping, when you go to return the body, don't tell anyone in the governor's mansion."

The matter has not been concluded yet. If we say now that it is a person, it will definitely cause panic among the people.

"Yes, I understand."

"Go down and rest first. Leave the body here. I'll call you after I examine it."

"Yes." Song Ping turned and walked away.

Linlang and the eldest boss also went to guard the gate of the courtyard so as not to disturb Yan Ruyu.

There was no one else around except Huo Changhe, so Yan Ruyu put the remains of the body into the space.

"You go and check it, I'll be guarding in the outer room," Huo Changhe said in a low voice.

"it is good."

Yan Ruyu returned to the inner room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and her consciousness entered the space.

Seeing the mutilated corpses, one can’t help but feel sad.

Whoever this is, she is a young woman who should be enjoying life, but ended up like this.

Yan Ruyu also thought that if the Wu family fell into decline in the future, she would meet the eldest lady of the Wu family. If she was willing, she could let her support the Wu family and usher in a good life.

Unfortunately, there will never be such an opportunity again.

"It would be great if you have relatives. You can directly test the DNA and don't have to undergo this kind of examination."

But Mrs. Wu had no family and no children.

Yan Ruyu put on gloves, took out the necessary tools and started testing.

……

The two servants of the Wu family came back even later than Song Ping and his companions. They entered the city almost after dark and were almost locked outside the city.

The reason was simple: they were held back and guarded by yamen runners, who neither allowed them to follow to see what was happening nor allowed them to leave.

When Song Ping and his companions left, they took their carriage away.

The two of them could only walk back to the city.

I was almost exhausted.

As soon as he entered the house, he went to see the old lady and reported what had happened.

The old lady had no intention of listening, let alone caring. She was just a bitch, so she should die. She should have died long ago.

Especially after making the shop like that.

She was still in Wu Laosan's yard. Wu Laosan went there to complain and was carried back soon after. Her old wounds had not yet healed and she had new ones.

There was nothing left in Wu Laosan's yard, and he asked someone to carry a bed. Other things were another matter, but he had to get a bed first, otherwise how would he sleep?

She was exhausted after all the work and was about to go back to the yard to rest and eat something when the two servants came back.

Seeing how disheveled they were, covered in dirt, and looking haggard, the old lady frowned.

"What's going on? If you don't know, you might think they are two beggars."
