Beauty is sick

Pei Zhe didn't go over hastily, he stood quietly for a while, buried on Jin Lingjiu's shoulder, and took a deep breath.

From their vantage point, the head of the corpse was not visible, only the body from the chest down.The corpse's feet and trousers were amputated together, and the fabric of the trousers was torn unevenly. The black fabric was stained with blood, making it difficult to see clearly.

Jin Lingjiu patted him on the back: "Do you want to go and have a look?"

Pei Zhe said in a muffled voice: "Did that man leave? He should have heard us by making such a big move."

Jin Lingjiu said calmly: "Since just now, I haven't heard any movement. He placed the corpse here and arranged the scene. He will definitely not stay."

Pei Zhe sighed: "At first, I guessed whether this incense shop might be a stronghold, but now it seems that the possibility is very high."

If it was really a stronghold, then the man would not have arranged this place as a crime scene, and the corpse would not be left behind. It can be seen that this corpse and the incense shop are all he wants to leave for others to see.

Jin Lingjiu was noncommittal: "Let's go, go and have a look."

Pei Zhe stopped him: "Should we report to the police first?"

Tanhualang still retains the inherent thinking of the imperial court ordering officials, reporting to the officials in advance, and not destroying the murder scene without authorization.

Jin Lingjiu reminded: "You are also an official, and your rank is higher than the officials here."

Pei Zhe touched his nose and said casually, "I've been a civil servant for a long time, but I'm still not used to solving cases."

Jin Lingjiu snorted: "From Huaizhou City to Ye City, I haven't seen you less involved in solving cases."

Pei Zhe: "..."

See through but not say through, understand?

Jin Lingjiu obviously didn't understand, so he led the angry Pei Zhe closer to the door: "Since you are not used to it, then read it earlier to satisfy your curiosity, and then send a letter to the government, and then we can leave it alone." and this case."

Pei Zhe choked: "...Why didn't I find out before, you are really full of bad water."

"Thank you." Jin Lingjiu smiled slightly, "Being with you for so long, I must learn something."

Pei Zhe: "..."

Jin Lingjiu picked up the flower hoe that was thrown aside: "Okay, let's stop making trouble, I will open the window, and I will observe the surroundings of the corpse first."

Pei Zhe was so depressed that he secretly slandered, wondering who was making the trouble? !

The blood flowing from the corpse pooled together, Pei Zhe carefully avoided the pool of crimson liquid, raised his head, and looked up along the drooping feet of the corpse.

Cut off the feet, let the blood out, and hang the beam.

This murder method is very familiar, and it is similar to the scene of the death of the magistrate of Huaizhou City.

At that time, the magistrate was hanged by the neck and hung on the beam of the house, pretending to commit suicide by hanging from the beam, but the real cause of death was that his neck was twisted.

Pei Zhe had some guesses in his mind, but he was still taken aback when he saw the part of the corpse with the chest up.

It was slightly different from what he imagined.

Unlike Lord Zhifu, the head of the corpse was hanging downwards. He raised his head and looked up, just facing the face of the corpse.

There were no obvious wounds on the corpse's face, but both eyeballs had been gouged out, leaving two bloody holes, which looked very creepy.

Jin Lingjiu heard the movement, and hurried over: "What's wrong?"

Pei Zhe was short of breath, patting his chest, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: "The murderer is so fucking ruthless, he made it like this, at first glance, it scared me to death."

Jin Lingjiu didn't understand, so when he was about to look up, Pei Zhe quickly covered his eyes: "Don't look, I'll just explain it to you, so you won't have nightmares at night."

Pei Zhe briefly described the situation of the corpse, and pulled Jin Lingjiu a little farther away. When he said it just now, he noticed that Jin Lingjiu's face was not very good-looking, and his hand holding the handkerchief was very hard. I can't stand the smell anymore.

Jin Lingjiu didn't express any opinion on the corpse, and asked, "Are you planning to intervene?"

They only came to Wuyin Mountain temporarily, and they will return to Huaizhou City after they are detoxified.

Pei Zhe pondered for a moment, and said: "The matter of Feng Tingyu is not over yet, I don't know how the teacher handles it, and the matter of Xiao Chengming, I need to do it myself, if it's not an urgent matter, I can't intervene."

Jin Lingjiu nodded: "I understand what you mean, let's look for it first, and see if we can find any clues about this corpse."

Pei Zhe smiled wryly: "From the point of view of the method of death, it's not easy. You have to look for it first to see if you can determine the identity of the corpse. I hope the matter involved in the corpse is not important, otherwise, after detoxifying you , we still have to spend some more time here."

Jin Lingjiu's focus fell on "us", and he felt a little moved in his heart. Now Pei Zhe can naturally include him in his plan, which shows his position in Pei Zhe's heart.

Jin Lingjiu was placed aside, and Pei Zhe studied the corpse carefully, but found not many clues.

The clothing of the corpse does not have any obvious characteristics. The clothing material is a very common one in the market, so there is no way to judge it from here.

Other than that, there was nothing to prove his identity.

Pei Zhe did not put the body down from the beam. The murderer must have had a special purpose in arranging the body like this. He was going to leave the complete scene to the local officials.

The two returned the same way and left over the wall in the backyard.

Without delay, Pei Zhe and others inquired, and rushed to the government with Jin Lingjiu.

Originally, he was going to find a child to send a letter to the government to lure the local officials to the incense shop, but then he thought about it, in case the corpse was involved in something, he had to reveal his identity in advance so that he could get it from the government. clue.

Pei Zhe carried his waist badge with him, and together with Jin Lingjiu, he went directly into the government office without any courtesy.

It happened to be meal time, and the officials were not in the Yamen, so Pei Zhe revealed his identity and directed a person to call the local officials over.

He pulled Jin Lingjiu to sit on a chair in the yamen: "How does it feel?"

Jin Lingjiu didn't know, so: "Huh?"

Pei Zhe played with his waist card: "You are a person from the world, how do you feel when you come into the Yamen in a fair manner?"

Jin Lingjiu pretended to think about it for a while: "I feel very happy, I can't help but want to say with emotion, it's so good to marry a high-ranking official as my wife."

Pei Zhe: "..."

Jin Lingjiu rubbed his chin: "Pei Lang is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. I always feel like I am eating soft food."

Pei Zhe was angry and funny: "Young Master Ninth has a lot of money, it's almost as good if I eat soft food with you."

Jin Lingjiu thought for a while: "If you want to, it's not impossible. I can afford to take care of you, and I can afford to take care of whatever you eat."

Pei Zhe always had an illusion, as if Jin Lingjiu was about to take out his purse in a second and slap it on the table: "Thanks to the great love, I can still support myself now."

Jin Lingjiu is not without regrets: "Whenever you can't support yourself, that's fine."

Pei Zhe: "..."

What a shit!

Jin Lingjiu was quite looking forward to that day, and he said a few words with emotion, and the veins on Pei Zhe's forehead twitched: "Don't worry, I can not only support myself, but also support you."

"Really?" Jin Lingjiu's eyes lit up, "Then you keep me."

Pei Zhe: "???"

Jin Lingjiu smiled brightly: "I don't mind having a soft meal with you."

Pei Zhe: "..."

When the official arrived at the Yamen, Pei Zhe had already realized the reality: he couldn't say anything about Jinling Jiu.

After briefly talking about what happened in the incense shop, the two of them didn't follow and stayed in the yamen.

Pei Zhe, as the prince's junior teacher, was a high-ranking official from the capital, so he couldn't be negligent. The official sent someone to a restaurant outside to buy a table of vegetables and came back to entertain him and Jin Lingjiu.

Before Pei Zhe and Jin Lingjiu ate soft meals with each other, the two first ate the meal prepared by the yamen.

It is close to Xiaoxiang, and the dishes have similar tastes, which Pei Zhe is familiar with. He ate an extra bowl of rice for the first time.

They are all classic dishes, Pei Zhe can name each one, and explained to Jin Lingjiu next to each other. At the end, he jokingly said: "You should eat more, and marry us in Xiaoxiang in the future. If you are not used to it, there is nothing else It's time to eat."

Jin Lingjiu swallowed a mouthful of food: "Could it be that Pei Lang is misremembering, if you marry me, you will marry me from Xiaoxiang, but if you like Xiaoxiang's food, I can accompany you to live here more. "

Pei Zhe snorted softly: "It's not clear yet, and no one can say for sure, whose taste this dish will be closer to in the future."

Jin Lingjiu squinted his eyes: "I just like Pei Lang's vigor of not looking back without bumping into the south wall."

Pei Zhe: "..."

The two were bickering, and the official who had led the people away hurried over, hesitated to speak, and remained silent for a long time.

Pei Zhe: "What's going on?"

The official said truthfully: "Lord Pei, just now the lower officials took people to the incense shop to look at it, but they didn't find the body."
