Uncle Detective Di Renjie, I build a crime-solving team

Outside the Chang'an County Government Office, dozens of tall horses were walking in the front, and the Qianniu Guards behind them surrounded a carriage in the middle.

The carriage was extremely luxurious and it was obviously the vehicle of Wei Wang Wu Chengsi.

They arrived at the gate of the county government office. Lao Hei, who was driving the carriage, and Lao Bai, who was in charge of protection, took a quick look around and confirmed that there was no hidden threat before letting Wu Chengsi get off the carriage.

There was no need to be so vigilant before, but because of the Xue Mansion case, all officials in Chang'an were in a state of extreme panic.

The daring Wu Chengsi was naturally not afraid, but Lao Bai and Lao Hei decided to be on high alert for the sake of their long-term jobs.

After getting off the carriage, Wu Chengsi took big strides and was about to walk in front. Lao Hei and Lao Bai did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly stood on the left and right to protect Wu Chengsi.

Turning his head to look at the guards on both sides, Wu Chengsi held his forehead and said:

"What are you afraid of? With General Hu Jinghui and the Qianniu Guards there, and you two following behind, who can kill me in this situation?"

"The tragedy at the Xue Mansion was all due to their poor defense. Look at my house, all kinds of things won't happen. You two should step back a little and don't get too close."

Old White and Old Black reluctantly took a step back to make some space, but still looked around with extreme caution.

Hu Jinghui entered the county government office first, took a look around, and only let Wu Chengsi in after finding that everything was fine.

There was no one in the lobby, so everyone simply turned directly to the second hall. The Qianniu Guards quickly deployed their defenses and surrounded the entire county government office.

In the second hall, hearing hurried footsteps outside, Li Yuanfang pushed open the door and walked out.

Everyone looked out of the open gate and saw that the Qianniu Guards had already deployed their forces in the yard. Wu Chengsi and Hu Jinghui in the yard were walking towards the second hall.

"Huai Ying."

Wu Chengsi shouted, and the moment he opened the door, he saw Di Renjie's fat figure at a glance.

"The King of Wei has arrived."

Chen Ya had already finished her story, and Di Renjie stood up happily and greeted her with a smile.

The investigators who were temporarily put together finally gathered together, and Li Yuanfang also stood with Hu Jinghui.

Several guards gathered together and began to chat. With the protection of the army, Ma Rong, Lao Bai, Lao Hei and others seemed quite relaxed today.

"Your Highness the Prince of Wei, Lord Di, General Xiao, have you all had breakfast?"

"If there isn't any, I'll have my servants make some and bring them over for you to use as you please, and then we can go investigate the case, okay?"

Chen Ya quickly stood up and bowed, with an extremely respectful attitude.

"That's not necessary. Although I haven't had breakfast yet, I have to go to the mortuary later, and I don't want to vomit just by looking at it."

The King of Wei waved his hand.

"Everyone, go to the morgue and take a look. If you can find some clues, that would be the best."

Everyone agreed and let Chen Ya lead the way, and they went to the morgue to see the body.

The death of everyone in the Xue Mansion was a tragic case of the extermination of the entire family. Except for Xue Aocao, whose head was cut off and buried early, the bodies of everyone else were kept in the morgue waiting for inspection by the minister in charge of the investigation.

However, Li Cunxi, who had long known that Xue Aocao was not dead and suspected that Xue Nanze was not dead either, did not comment on this. The body was in the coffin, so let it be. Anyway, Di Renjie was too meticulous, and the coffin would be opened for an autopsy sooner or later.

Entering the morgue, he saw dozens of corpses. Except for Xue Nanze, who was wearing clothes, the other corpses were naked. Probably because of Xue Aocao's personal preference, most of the corpses were female corpses and children. Li Cunxi felt a little nauseous when he saw it. It was the first time he felt that such a scene was extremely disgusting.

Di Renjie and others seemed to be already familiar with the situation. They stepped into the morgue without hesitation and began to listen to the coroners' explanations.

"Except for Xue Nanze, there were a total of nine male corpses. The fatal wounds were all on the neck. Their throats were cut with a knife."

"There were 35 female corpses in total. All of them had fatal injuries on their necks. Their throats were cut with a knife."

"There were 26 pedophiles in total, 11 of whom were pedophiles and 15 were pedophiles. They had fatal injuries all over their bodies. Because of their fragile bodies, there was no hope of survival after one cut."

"The male corpse was Xue Nanze, 23 years old. He had twelve non-fatal wounds on his body, all of which were sword wounds. One fatal wound was on his neck, where someone had cut his throat with a knife. The cut was very shallow, so it is speculated that he died from bleeding."

The coroner spoke as he walked away from Xue Nanze.

The crowd watching this shocking scene had very ugly faces. His Majesty's male favorite Xue Aocao was dead, and everyone in the palace was dead too. Everyone died very quickly and cleanly, except for Xue Nanze, who was bled to death.

What kind of deep hatred caused Xue Nanze, a man who had never even entered the imperial palace, to be bled to death?

Wu Chengsi and Di Renjie both began to silently think about what might have happened.

Most of the people who followed were just there to watch, so naturally they had no idea what was going on.

After walking around Xue Nanze's body twice, Li Cunxi looked at the coroner who had stepped aside and asked seriously:

"I would like to ask you, what would the facial features of a person who died from bleeding look like?"

The coroner said quickly: "His face was pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were bloodless."

Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi suddenly reacted and looked at the face of Xue Nanzhe's corpse.

Li Cunxi pointed at the corpse and said, "But his complexion remains the same as before. He doesn't look like someone who died from bleeding at all."

Thinking of the fake Fang Qian in Youzhou Governor's Mansion who took arsenic but still looked the same as before, Di Renjie suddenly realized.

It turns out there’s something wrong with Xue Nanze’s face!

"Human skin mask!"

Several people present shouted in surprise.

Li Cunxi walked around Xue Nanze again, nodded, and said:

"If my guess is correct, there is a human skin mask on Xue Nanze's face. The face underneath the mask is the true appearance of the deceased."

Di Renjie used the same trick again and said, "Come here, bring in a towel and a basin of hot water."

Soon, the county government's runners brought hot water and a towel. Di Renjie personally dipped the towel in hot water and carefully wiped Xue Nanzhe's handsome face.

Soon, wrinkles appeared on Xue Nanze's face. As he wiped along the wrinkles, he saw the edge of a human skin mask.

Di Renjie put down the towel, stretched out his hands and carefully uncovered a little bit of the wrinkles, and then carefully peeled back part of the human skin mask.

The face beneath the human skin mask was extremely pale, with sunken eye sockets and bloodless lips.

At this point, a new clue has emerged.

Xue Nan Ze, who had his throat cut by a knife, had dozens of cuts on him, was bled to death in Xue Mansion in Chang'an City, was not the real Xue Nan Ze!
