Chapter 326 Identity of the deceased

326 Deceased Identity

Qiao Muchen nodded: "Then it seems that the deceased should have been killed by King Chu, and King Liang put the bones in this cave. Moreover, although the clothes worn by the deceased are rotten to the eyes, they are not ordinary at first glance. The identity of the deceased is definitely not simple, but we cannot confirm the identity of the body now."

At this time, Zhao Zhitong thought for a while and said, "The corpse has been severely boned, and basically I can't get much useful information. However, I can try to restore the appearance of the deceased through the skull of the corpse."

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was shocked, and even more unbelievable.

"What, that's okay too?"

Zhao Zhitong nodded: "I can try."

Speaking, he stood up and said, "Take the evidence and the skull back to the inn first."

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and it was indeed not suitable to stay on the mountain for a long time. Everyone decided to go back to the inn first.

Wait until Zhao Zhitong recovers the appearance of the deceased before making plans.

Wei Zijian took off his clothes, wrapped the skull of the deceased and took it away. They buried the other bones beside Sun Moon Lake.

In the next few days, Zhao Zhitong nestled in the inn and began to study a skull.

Recalling Song Renying's confession before leaving Beijing, saying that if they are unsure about something, they can go to Mr. Zhang to discuss it.

So, Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue sorted out the evidence for several days, and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Mr. Zhang.

This matter is related to the emperor's nephew and the most favored adults. It is not a trivial matter. If one is not careful, his life will be lost, so it must be foolproof before taking action.

Gong Zhang stroked his beard and said, "The king of Chu and Zhuo An are first-class, they have harmed the court for a long time, and their foundation is deep. If you can't kill them in one fell swoop, don't act rashly."

Zhang Gongcheng acted on his behalf, Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue listened carefully.

Mr. Zhang thought for a while and said: "But they are not invulnerable. Over the years, they have shown off their power and secretly engaged in some small tricks, which has offended many people. We also have no shortage of allies."

Mr. Zhang said this on purpose to remind them.

And both of them also thought of one person—Princess Anping.

Zhao Yue and Qiao Muchen are busy joining forces with Princess Anping to plan and deal with King Chu and Zhuo An.

Zhao Zhitong is also intensively restoring the appearance of the deceased.

Wei Shulan and Wei Zijian wandered around Zhao Zhitong's room from time to time, beating up Zhao Zhitong. They were really curious about how Zhao Zhitong restored the appearance of the deceased.

Zhao Yu held his sword in both hands and guarded Zhao Zhitong's door to protect her safety.

Wei Shulan looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Tongtong, are you afraid of facing a skull all day long? Do you want me to sleep with you at night?"

Zhao Zhitong smiled: "No need, I'm not afraid."

Wei Shulan was extremely curious: "Tongtong, what are you doing now? Making clay figurines?"

Zhao Zhitong held the soft clay in his hand and said with a smile: "I learned this from books, there are thirty-six bone points in the human skull.

By marking the bone points, we can infer the movement and thickness of the muscles, and roughly draw the appearance of the deceased, but the process is a bit complicated and requires sufficient endurance. "

After speaking, he smiled and said: "However, I can't guarantee the accuracy. This is also my first time practicing."

Wei Shulan smiled and said: "I believe you can do it, Tongtong, do you want to eat fruit, I will peel an orange for you? Water, do you want to drink water?"

Zhao Zhitong shook his head: "No, no need, I will drink water by myself when I am thirsty."

Wei Shulan nodded: "Okay, then take your time, don't worry, we won't bother you."

As he spoke, he pulled out the serious Wei Zijian who was watching from the sidelines.

Wei Zijian who was taken away was very reluctant: "Hey, why are you pulling me, I want to see how the master restores it."

Wei Shulan pulled the person out of the door forcefully: "What are you looking at, don't disturb Tongtong, what should you do if you distract her."

…

The two quarreled, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

Zhao Zhitong couldn't help but smiled, and lowered his head again to fiddle with the skull.

I worked on it for almost two days, and Zhao Zhitong didn't sleep well for almost two days. Finally, he drew a charcoal drawing and handed it to Qiao Muchen: "It's roughly like this."

Zhao Yue anxiously leaned forward to take a look, and said in surprise: "Wow, it's amazing, it can really recover, but who is this boy?"

Qiao Muchen looked at the painting, thought for a while and said, "We can show it to Princess Anping."

Zhao Yue nodded.

If the identity of this boy is not simple, Princess Anping has probably seen him before.

Several people were still admiring Zhao Zhitong's power, but Zhao Zhitong waved his hands and said modestly: "It may not be useful."

After speaking, he yawned unconsciously, his face was full of fatigue.

Qiao Muchen immediately put away the painting, and drove the other onlookers out of the room.

Then he slightly reproached Zhao Zhitong: "Have you not closed your eyes for two days? No matter how anxious you are, you have to sleep. Go and rest now, and leave the next thing to us."

After finishing speaking, he just watched Zhao Zhitong lie down, then closed the door and backed out.

Hearing the door close, Qiao Muchen's footsteps left, Zhao Zhitong also closed his eyes, and slowly fell asleep.

She slept long enough, and when she woke up, it was already night, and Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue had already returned.

Zhao Yuexing hurriedly told Zhao Zhitong that the young man she painted had a real identity. He was the emperor's little prince who disappeared in the autumn hunting ground seven years ago.

is the younger brother of Princess Anping.

Murdering the prince, if the identity of the deceased is confirmed, the king of Chu will be charged with a serious crime this time. For this reason, Princess Anping wanted to go to Sun Moon Lake to see the corpse in person.

The next day, Qiao Muchen and Zhao Yue took the princess to Sun Moon Lake. When they saw the clothes on the corpse, Princess Anping decided that this was her real brother.

"It's Ziyan, it's Ziyan. The riding outfit on him was given to him by the princess!"

Princess Anping's eyes were red when she spoke.

"Well, Pei Siqing, you are really ambitious!"

Princess Anping then ordered someone to take the little prince's body back secretly.

The fact that Liang Wang was arrested for rebellion did not affect the arrival of the ranking day.

Two days later, the announcement day came as scheduled. Early in the morning, everyone got up one after another to watch the list.

The people living in the Wuyou Inn are basically the students of this exam, so they got up very early today. At this time, they are downstairs, discussing nervously while eating.

"I hope this one can make the list."

"Brother Ren is a great talent, he will definitely win."

"Thank you, Brother Wang, for your good words. Brother Wang will definitely be able to go to high school."

…

Many people are still worried and nervous.

There are also some who don't even eat, and after getting up, they go to wait at the place where the list is published.

Zhao Zhitong and the others went downstairs together, found a table and sat down, and asked Xiaoer to serve some bowls of plain noodles.
