Chapter 157 Eight Treasures Makeup 11
Jiang Xing has neither father nor mother. He learned art from his master in his early years, and later lived on a boat and became an actor. Now that he is dead, he is buried in a mass grave outside the city with nothing more than a thin coffin, without even a decent tombstone. nothing.
Wu Xiang led people to find Jiang Xing's grave, and ordered people to dig it open. The coffin, which had been buried for more than a month, was wrapped in wet soil, and the paint on it was mottled. When the coffin was lifted out of the pit, The smell of rotting corpses could not be suppressed and filled the air from the cracks in the coffin lid.
"Open the lid and let the smell out——"
Wu Xiang gave the order and quickly pried open the coffin lid. In an instant, the pungent rotten smell hit their faces. Several people took a look inside the coffin, turned around, and ran away to retching.
Wu Xiang bit his back molars and suppressed the discomfort in his stomach.
"Okay, let's carry it back to Yizhuang. It's going to be hard for Xiaobo now."
Wu Xiang found an ox cart and pulled Jiang Xing's coffin back to the city. When he entered Yizhuang, Bo Ruoyou was finishing the autopsy of Ye Fei's body and writing the autopsy report.
Seeing Wu Xiang come back with a coffin dug out of the soil, Bo Ruoyou's heart skipped a beat.
"Is this the coffin of Jiang Xing, who died a month ago?"
Wu Xiang wiped the sweat from his face, "I didn't ask about Jiang Xing's case at first, but I didn't expect that the steward of the bird park said that before Jiang Xing's death, there was an accidental blood sparrow in the bird park. And died, and by coincidence, he drowned in a water tank."
Everyone now knows that before the murderer kills, he will use the dead blood sparrow as a foreshadowing. The blood sparrow was drowned, and soon Jiang Xing also drowned in the Moon Lake. Such coincidences are enough to prove that Jiang Xing There is also a lot of mystery in the death of Xing.
Wu Xiang looked at the coffin, "The body can no longer be seen, and I don't know if anything can be found. Xiaobo, I'm sorry for you."
At this time, the sun was setting in the west and it was getting late. Bo Ruoyou didn't care about this. He only talked about Ye Fei's autopsy results first, "After Ye Fei's autopsy, it was almost the same as what was found in the Aviary Garden." , the cause and time of death remained unchanged. Only after the autopsy, undigested food residues and a little medicine were found in his stomach."
Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, "Medicine? I've never heard the boy mention this before."
Bo Ruoyou said: "The autopsy showed that Ye Fei's pharynx and trachea were slightly narrowed and blocked. There was much more mucus in the lungs and trachea than normal people. In addition, there was also endometrium. Due to the edema, I guess Ye Fei may have been suffering from cough and asthma for a long time, and it is a chronic disease that is difficult to cure, so he is often prescribed pills."
"In his stomach, I found honey. Most of these pills are kneaded into pills with honey, so it is not unusual. There are also gastrodia elata and tangerine peel, which are also good medicines for treating this chronic disease. In addition, there is Datura powder, which is mixed with honey, tangerine peel and other drugs, making it difficult for people to detect. It is very likely that Ye Fei took this drug unconsciously."
She glanced outside and said, "It's late autumn now and the weather is getting colder. It's the time when coughs and asthma occur. And at night, people with this disease are more likely to cough and have difficulty breathing. Ye Fei said before going to bed Medication is something you can expect."
Wu Xiang immediately said: "I will have people search the garden again -"
Ye Fei barely struggled when he was kidnapped. Since the food used was safe, there is another explanation. He did not use the medicine in front of the servant. No one knew that he had used the medicine. If not, Bo Ruo According to the autopsy examination, it is difficult to explain this joint.
"The murderer not only knew that Ye Fei was taking medicine, but also knew what kind of disease Ye Fei was suffering from. He was also able to sneak into Ye Fei's room and secretly change his medicine. Every time the murderer made a target, he would kill him. At the time of Xun, Yu Yi had already been stolen out, and he wanted to hang him. If he went to Yu Xun’s room that night, then he would not have changed the dressing before killing Yu Xun——"
Wu Xiang immediately said: "This medicine has different properties. If you change it in advance, you will be noticed."
Bo Ruoyou responded and said: "After Yu Xun's death, the arrests went to the garden to search, and Liu Qing and others were brought back to the Yamen. When Ye Fei died, they had just been released to Baidu. That day at the Bird Garden."
Wu Xiang recalled: "They were put back around noon. At dusk, they said they had found the coffin nails, so I took people to get Song Zhongming. It only took two or three hours for the murderer to To change Song Zhongming's burden, I have to change the dressing in advance, is it too late?"
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late."
"So, doesn't it mean that the murderer was not the same people who were brought back to the Yamen that day?"
Bo Ruoyou thought for a while, "Song Zhongming's baggage was buried in the warehouse where the fodder was stored. The place was quite dirty and messy. Except for the servants and the craftsmen who tamed the birds and beasts, no one would go there, especially if they wanted to Liu Qing and the others will never set foot there, so they won't know that Song Gongming hid money secretly."
Wu Xiang thought about it carefully and said, "That's true. Their status in the garden is higher than that of ordinary servants."
After Bao Ruoyou finished writing the examination statement, he put on the gauntlet and covered his face with a silk handkerchief, then he walked towards the coffin. The coffin was opened, and the body inside had been eaten away by maggots and was beyond recognition. Even the robe on his body had been eaten away. The corpse was soaked with water, making it difficult to distinguish its original color.
Although the season has entered autumn, it is not necessarily hot in summer, but Jiang Xing was fished out from the lake and had been soaked in the lake water all night. Later, he was hastily buried and his body was dripping wet, which accelerated the decay. Nowadays, it is extremely difficult to find scars on corpses.
Jiang Xing plays the role of Blood Sparrow in Zhao Yue's favorite play, and he has learned skills from his master since he was a child. Even if his flesh and blood are rotten, his body and bones can still be seen. Such a person will not easily fall into the lake due to a slip on a rainy day. drowned.
Bo Ruoyou remembers that Yuehu Lake is not that big. The north and south sides face the cloisters, both of which are protected by railings. The east and west sides are next to the rockery, with stone steps extending into the lake. The east side is also covered by a On a gentle slope, next to the lake, the water was barely above his knees. Jiang Xing was over five feet tall and an agile adult man. There was no way he would drown after falling into the lake.
After looking at the body for a moment, Bo Ruoyou ordered the Yamen to move the body out.
More than a month after Jiang Xing's death, the corpse was so decomposed that it was difficult to distinguish the appearance. After using clean water to clean away the maggots on the corpse, Bo Ruoyou still felt that there was nowhere to start. The traces on the corpse's surface had been destroyed, so she checked first. After removing the skeleton of the corpse and finding that there were no obvious bone injuries, it was decided to conduct an autopsy.
Most of the body's internal organs have been eaten by maggots and silkworms, and the white bones in the chest and abdomen are faintly visible. Because it was drowned, Bo Ruoyou performed an autopsy on the lungs. Although the organs were excessively decayed, it could still be seen that the lungs were enlarged. There was a lot of water, and the rotten blisters and **** foam on it were particularly frightening. From this, it could be concluded that the deceased had indeed drowned. However, other than that, we could only see more numbing corpse insects. It is difficult to find other clues.
There was no trace of food in the stomach, and any aquatic plants were inhaled into the trachea and lungs and rotted with the corpse. The only thing that struck Bo Ruoyou as strange was that there was no sediment in the trachea and lungs.
Yuehu Lake is an inner lake carved out by craftsmen. It is filled with fine sand. Due to the sedimentation of silt over the years, the sediment at the bottom of the lake is mixed. If Jiang Xing drowns in the lake, he will inhale some of it, but the sediment will not be absorbed. It will not rot with the body without leaving a trace.
After the autopsy, she did not find any sediment particles.
Bao Ruoyou endured the pungent rotten odor and examined it more carefully with some reluctance. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the night was about to fall. Just when she thought she would be busy this time, She suddenly discovered something special in the rotten trachea.
The thing was wrapped in corpse water and dirt, and its shape was somewhat difficult to distinguish, but it should not be something that would appear in the human body. Bo Ruoyou washed it with clean water, and at this time, the thing finally showed its shape.
It was actually a bird feather.
She quickly changed the water several times, and after washing the bird feathers, she saw that they were all gray-white. If they had not been soaked in the corpse water for so long, they would probably be snow-white. She quickly took the thing away Show it to Wu Xiang.
“Ask the craftsmen in the garden, they will definitely recognize the feathers on which bird it belongs to.”
Wu Xiang took the small piece of feather and hesitated, "But if the feather falls into the lake, it may be sucked into the mouth."
Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "But there was no sediment inside the body's organs. This was so weird. The place where he drowned didn't look like he was in a lake, but somewhere without sediment. It was just It’s easy for birds to lose their feathers in that place. Didn’t the head catchers go to the bird park? Maybe it’s near the bird park.”
Wu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, "I understand, I'm going to the Aviary Garden right now."
Wu Xiang left Yizhuang after saying that. At this time, the night had shrouded. Bo Ruoyou simply disposed of the body. When the coffin lid was closed again, she cleaned her hands and packed the boxes. Before she finished packing, there were footsteps outside. The sound entered the back hall.
When Bo Ruoyou heard the sound and turned around, she saw that it was Huo Weilou who had come to Yizhuang. She was slightly surprised and said, "Why is Mr. Hou here?"
Huo Weilou looked at the coffins and Ye Fei's body parked in the hall. He knew that she was particularly busy today, so he stepped forward and lifted up the box next to her, then took her hand and walked out, "You have been busy all day." Before passing the Hou Mansion, I first went to Changshoufang, only to find out that you left early in the morning. Just then when I went to the Yamen, I was told that you were in Yizhuang."
Bo Ruoyou felt warm in his heart, "There is another deceased person in Bainiaoyuan, and I just found out today that Jiang Xing, who died a month ago, was the first victim of this case, so I have been busy here for half a day."
The two left Yizhuang and got on Huo Weilou's carriage. Only then did Bo Ruoyou feel that her belly was empty and her body was tired. After a moment of hesitation, she leaned into Huo Weilou's arms, and Huo Weilou stroked the top of her hair. , ordered the carriage to return to the Hou Mansion.
