The few of them stood up and followed them out of the hall.
Cao Yujie looked at Liu Xiaoli who had followed him hesitantly. Although he had been disgraced by this brat earlier, Cao Yujie still said to Liu Wei: "Master Si Zhuo, that skeleton's appearance is scary. I think it's better if Young Master Liu doesn't look at it."
Liu Wei smiled slightly: "Master Cao, there is no need to worry, my son is usually very daring, for easy things will not scare him."
The woodshed was two corners behind the lobby. Because there were corpses inside, there were constables guarding the outside. Seeing that the adults had arrived, the bailiff stepped aside and personally opened the door for them.
When he looked at the door, he saw a figure on the long board.
The figure was covered by a white cloth, making it impossible to see its appearance. However, in a pitch-black wooden hut, this sudden tinge of white made it seem extremely sinister.
After a few people walked in, Cao Yujie coughed and said, "A few days ago, Master Chen examined this corpse. It was a female corpse, and her head was cut off by someone without any other injuries on her body. Master Chen suspects that this is Liu Yi's lover, and for some reason, he argued with him and accidentally killed him.
Floating Life really wanted to retort, but when he looked at Liu Wei, he clenched his teeth and endured it.
Rong Ling asked in a bland voice, "How do we determine that the victim is Liu Yi's lover?"
Cao Yujie went blank for a moment, then stammered, "This corpse was found in his chest, and it's said that Liu Yi is a lustful beauty. Cao Yujie went blank for a moment, and then stammered," This corpse was found in his chest, and it's said that Liu Yi is a lustful beauty.
"So, no substantial evidence?" Rong Ling looked over coldly.
Cao Yujie was rendered speechless.
Master Chen looked at Rong Ling and said impatiently: "This lord, when we were discovered, our clothes were messed up, and there were traces of a man's room on our neck, is that not enough to explain the problem?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand to show that he was not happy with being questioned, and the white cloth covering the corpse was lifted with a 'hualala' sound.
Following that, headless people could be seen lying on the wooden boards. Their black necks were frozen bloody scars. With just a glance, ordinary people were already scared out of their wits.
Cao Yujie was so close to him that he was forced to take two or three steps back from Master Chen's sudden action. He held onto his chest and finally stopped.
Master Chen looked at the others with a pleased expression.
The general dressed in a black robe with a long sword attached to his waist had a peaceful expression on his face. Even the handsome young man, the maid who was about ten years old and the four or five-year-old boy by his feet all had ordinary faces.
What was going on? Aren't they afraid of this corpse?
They really weren't afraid.
Rong Ling had fought on the battlefield, killed people, and seen countless of corpses.
Floating Life had always been Jin Nanyun's servant girl. When they were at Qujiang County, Floating Life had often sneaked out to play with his young miss, and created a special dissecting room behind the Qujiang County's yamen. There were bottles and bottles inside, and Lady Liu had had her eyes filled with tears, heart, liver, lungs, baby's head …
As for Liu Wei and Liu Xiaoli, there was even less of a need to talk about …
Master Chen was startled and shouted, "What are you doing, kid?" Things like bones, are not to be casually touched! "
As he spoke, he was about to drag Liu Xiaoli away.
Xiaoli did not even look at Master Chen, but Rong Ling had already waved his sleeves, and a gale wind suddenly blew, causing Master Chen to be forced two steps back, directly colliding with Cao Yujie's body.
The two of them bumped into each other, and when they were able to stand still, they heard the child on the board say: "The corpse is twenty-six to twenty-seven years old, skinny, dark yellow, and severely malnourished; the corpse is rough, has flat nails, and a thick callus on the skin of the fingers, a pair of hands doing farm work since childhood. Judging by the size of the palm, they should be the type that does farm work since childhood and needs to go down to the fields."
Even in the countryside, the average woman would at most help her family cook, make some things to mend and mend their house. There were very few women who would go down to the fields to hoe.
This was also why all the villagers loved males and did not like females. As a result, females could not go down to the earth and thus lacked a labour force.
As Liu Xiaoli said this, he took out a pair of pliers from his small backpack and found a small piece of cloth. He then untied the silk and placed it on the board.
Xiaoli grabbed the corpse's hand, and after digging through the gaps of her fingers for a long time, he took out some small fragments.
Holding it up and putting it on his nose, Liu Xiaoli's eyes shone. "Scented, sandalwood, fragrant, musky … The deceased should have been working in a spice shop when he was alive. We can check which spice shop in the city has recently hired someone. "
Liu Wei asked: "Why is it recently?"
Xiaoli knew that his mother was testing him, so he said proudly: "Because of the corpse's legs."
"What happened to the foot?"
Xiaoli peeled off the shoes off the corpse and revealed the heels of the feet. The two blisters were especially dazzling.
"The corpse isn't used to wearing the shoes of the people of the city when it was alive, so when it was walking, its heels would be broken. If it was a person who normally wears these kinds of wounds, then I deduce that the deceased only recently entered the city to work."
Liu Wei nodded his head, then asked: "How long have you been in the city?"
Xiaoli choked, and stared blankly at his mother.
Liu Wei squinted his eyes.
Xiaoli swallowed his saliva, and quickly looked towards Rong Ling, asking for help silently.
Rong Ling met the little guy's aggrieved gaze, went silent for a moment, and asked: "Who is the culprit?"
Liu Xiaoli: "..."
"The place where he was killed?"
Liu Xiaoli: "..."
"Corpse identity?"
Liu Xiaoli: "..."
