Self-help guide for non-professional young masters

"It's common for women to love beauty, especially for the girls in Fireworks and Willow Lane. Among other things, the scent of makeup must be very strong. Even if you die for three days, the fragrance on your body should not be completely covered by the smell of corpses. Since the two It's all the same, I'm afraid they were already out of control some time before they were killed."

Jun Ziyou's conjecture was well-founded, and Shen Ci listened carefully, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Looking at this posture, even if he doesn't know how to perform an autopsy, this gentleman has some skills. The guilty Luo Wuzuo should have been more flustered, but now he calmed down for some reason, and handed the two of them a square scarf to cover their mouth and nose.

Covering himself tightly, Jun Ziyou also thought it was bad luck, but in order to restore the truth, he had to sacrifice his proud self-esteem.

He took the awl from Luo Wuzuo, pointed at Shen Ci, and said clearly.

"Since the current confusion is that the two girls look exactly alike, what we have to do is to find the difference, come over, stand in the middle, and see where they are different."

Without further ado, Junziyou lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, and the pungent smell became stronger, forcing Shenci to cover his nose, and tears were about to flow out.

"Sir, it's late autumn now, will there be such a strong smell after three days of death?"

"Yuan Fang, you discovered the blind spot. I suspect that the smell is not from the two corpses at all."

"Sir, I am Shen Ci."

"Don't call me Mr., call me Master Di."

"..."

Enduring the discomfort, Jun Ziyou hesitated for a moment, and then chose to start with the girl lying on the left side who had been killed the longest.

He lit a candle and took a closer look, and found that the dead man's nails were full of mud, which was unlikely to be caused after death. He also saw that her hair was disheveled, and there were signs of being bound and large and small bruises on her body. , then it is possible that they were abused during their lifetime.

"Who would put such a heavy hand on a pregnant woman..."

He muttered to himself, then turned back to look at the other dead person. The encounter between her and this person was truly heaven and earth. Although the clothes on her body were a little messy, she was wearing silk and satin, and her nails were also dyed with Kodan. It seems to be a pampered master.

"Shen Ci, who do you think is most likely to be Miss Qihuang?"

Without even thinking about it, the other party pointed to the one who was pregnant with the child, "Because of the grace and conceive of the dragon child, it is naturally this one."

"But her hands are covered with thick calluses. It looks like she's used to hard work. She doesn't look like the gorgeous girl in the building."

"According to what you said, this is Miss Qihuang? But her body doesn't look like Youxi, if she falsely reported her pregnancy, then wouldn't it be..."

"Deceitful."

The gentleman's lobbying is calm and calm, and it really doesn't matter to him, watching the excitement is not a big deal.

Seeing Luo Wuzuo who should be eloquent without saying a word, and Junziyou who should be as silent as a chicken chattering endlessly, Shen Ci felt a little helpless, "Master Luo, don't say a word, it's very difficult for us to do."

"This... what should be said, I let you all say it."

"What's that called? We're not co-authors. You still have to do the autopsy."

Junziyou made a relief: "Okay, it seems that Luo Wuzuo has already experienced the results, and he didn't speak out because he wanted to test my ability. I don't know if you are satisfied with my performance?"

Luo Wuzuo quickly stepped back, "Don't dare. In fact... In fact, this case cannot be investigated in detail. The higher-ups have spoken. Although the deceased was the emperor's favorite girl, she was a man in the world after all. Her status was low and it insulted the dignity of the royal family. , so death...the death is not clear, and you two don't have to get to the bottom of it."

"It's not up to us two servants to talk about the secrets of the palace, but this matter involves innocent people, so we have to investigate it thoroughly and give her justice. You see, she died so miserable. If Luo Wuzuo has the heart, he can help them, otherwise how can his conscience be at ease?"

After hearing his words, Luo Wuzuo was a little shaken, rubbing his hands uneasily, struggling for a long time, and then sighed.

"Well, let me tell you the truth..."

……

Xiao Beicheng and Ye Lanchen waited in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice for more than half an hour. The sky was completely dark, and the two chatted without saying a word. Just doing this and waiting for the result is boring and unbearable. The shredded tobacco was changed one crop after another, just when Ye Lanchen's patience was about to wear off, Jun Ziyou finally came out of the morgue with someone.

In order to prevent the smell of corpses on his body from hitting the two of them, Jun Ziyou stood in front of the court and shouted at the top of his voice, "My lord! My lord! I have a good way to catch the murderer. Do you want to try it?" ?”

Seeing his virtuous behavior, Xiao Beicheng was inexplicably annoyed, "There are no rules, who are you yelling at, come and talk!"

But when Jun Ziyou really stepped forward, he disliked the smell on that person again, frowning and making people back away.

"Forget it, you'd better go away and talk ten steps away."

"...Oh. My lord, in fact, what I have to do is very simple. Ordinary people will always go to court for criminal crimes. Can we not miss this procedure?"

Ye Lanchen's eyes were very unfriendly, every look he looked at him seemed to dig a hole out of him, "I'm going to court if I don't even find the murderer, aren't you in a hurry."

"Hey, what Ye Shangshu said is wrong. One yard is equal to one yard. These are two cases. I think there is no problem in trying them separately?"

"Oh? How can you tell that there are two cases?"

Jun Ziyou smiled meaningfully, "Just watch it..."

The next day, a court trial that caused a sensation throughout the capital began in Shuntian Mansion.

Fu Yin Tan Jiuling was fidgeting in the hall. It was the first time in his life that he saw Jin Wang Xiao Beicheng sitting in the hall with Minister of Punishment Ye Lanchen and observing the court trial. It was impossible not to panic.If this doesn't give a satisfactory result to the two of you, I'm afraid it's not a big deal if you lose your black hat, and if it's serious, you won't even be able to keep your head.

Besides, these two people have different positions, and naturally they want different results. It would be unwise to offend anyone. It's difficult...it's too difficult.

As soon as they heard that the case of Miss Qihuang, the queen of Fireworks Lane, was going to be tried, all men, women and children from all over the capital came to watch the excitement, and the surrounding area of ​​Shuntian Mansion was filled with water.

Most of them, because they didn't have the chance to see her face during their lifetime, they wanted to have a fresh look after death, to see what the beauty that the emperor was so excited about looked like, but the appearance of Jun Ziyou was extremely disappointing.

He and Shen Ci came late, and while apologizing to the adults, they brought in the paper figurines they just bought from the coffin shop, still two!

"Shopkeeper Liu of the coffin shop is very skilled. This paper figurine is beautifully tied, exactly like the one in the portrait."

Everyone looked at the two paper figurines dressed in red and green, with pale faces and blood-red lips, and they felt cold sweat protruding from their backs in broad daylight.

Even if the trial was a murder case, it would be too unlucky to deal with it...

Seeing that Xiao Beicheng and Ye Lanchen's faces were a bit gloomy, Jun Ziyou hurriedly smiled with him: "Don't be surprised, the main thing today is that the two deceased are being tried in court, so it's not good to bring them to the court for a trial, so I'll make such a bad decision .”

Xiao Beicheng didn't say anything, but his smile was a little stiff, but Ye Lanchen covered his mouth and nose and lowered his voice while drinking tea, gnashing his teeth and threatening viciously: "There is such a big commotion and we can't find out the results, be careful This officer wants your dog's life!"

"Don't worry, my lord. I'm here to avenge the dead. There will be absolutely nothing wrong."

In order to prevent people from being confused between the two deceased, Jun Ziyou deliberately wrapped several circles of paper around the lower abdomen of one of the paper figurines, making it look like a pregnant belly.

"The dead can't speak, the murderer's methods are extremely clever, confusing the identities of the two has caused us to fall into obsession, and we can't tell which is the real Qihuang girl, so it is necessary to invite us to be the first one today. Witness, Luo Wuzuo."

Luo Wuzuo, who was timid in the hall, heard that he was called, and his legs became weak. It was Shen Ci who helped him up, so that he had the opportunity to kneel in the hall.

Tan Jiuling asked suspiciously: "Luo Wuzuo, you are the lord of the Ministry of Punishment, just say the result of the investigation is good, why do you have to make such a big gift?"

"Your Majesty and Fu Yin don't know that in this case, the lower officials are witnesses..."

As soon as this remark was made, the audience was in an uproar. In order to avoid suspicion, Jun Ziyou also specially explained: "You don't have to suspect that the results of Luo Wu's autopsy are biased. I watched him carefully examine every part of the two corpses last night. He has no chance to do anything about the details, let alone blind my eyes."

Xiao Beicheng smoked a cigarette, let Xiao Hei roll on his lap, and said casually, "Speak."

Luo Wuzuo wiped away his tears, sobbed and said intermittently: "The two deceased were killed four days ago and yesterday respectively. The one who died first was tortured. Perhaps he was raped by someone. His expression was horrifying before he died. Eyes wide open, mouth wide open, eyes still bleeding, lips blue and purple, yes, suffocated to death."

"What about the other dead man?"

"The body was cleaned up very clean, and there was no external injury on the body, but there was water in the mouth and stomach, and it was drowned."

Tan Jiuling ordered his master to write down these details, and then asked, "Then what is Luo Wu trying to explain by testifying?"

"My lord, this woman who was pregnant and killed first was originally the twin sister of another victim. The two people lived exactly the same, but their fates were very different. In the early years, the older sister had a rift with her younger sister. When he arrived in the capital, he stumbled and fell into the dust. The younger sister traveled thousands of miles from Suzhou to the capital in order to find her relatives. Because the older sister avoided seeing her, she decided to stay in the capital. The younger sister met a beloved man, and she married him and lived in the capital. And sister Yanguan Qunfang won the first place and won the emperor's heart."

Ye Lanchen wanted to ask something, but Jun Ziyou blocked him with gestures.

Everyone didn't say a word, listening to Luo Wuzuo's narration silently, feeling more and more heavy.

"To be honest, my lord, this elder sister is the girl Qihuang who has been favored. She is very ambitious. She is unwilling to spend her whole life as a low-class person in Fireworks and Willow Lane. She lured her sister to the Langhua Pavilion under the pretext of making peace, and ganged up with the turtle to rape her younger sister, and released the news that she was pregnant, so that when her younger sister gave birth to a child, she would I can take this to the top.”

"What you said are all just your guesses, groundless things, do you still want to pour dirty water on the deceased?"

Facing the aggressive Ye Lanchen, Luo Wuzuo immediately wilted like a beaten eggplant.

And Junzi Youzheng Xiao Beicheng was also listening here, with someone behind him backing him, and he said the words that he didn't dare to say out of his stomach.

"My lord, Luo Wuzuo is the husband of the younger sister in the case, Luo Yutang."
