I heard His Highness has supernatural powers

There was only Li Haoying's corpse in the whole room, and that corpse looked pale and pale under the moonlight, which looked a bit scary. ,

The old Wu Zuo stepped into the door and said, "It's strange to say that the body was supposed to be inspected this afternoon, but I don't know why, but whoever gets close to the body will suddenly fall down. He was hit on the head by an unknown stone, that's why it dragged on until now." He said, bowed to Li Haoying's corpse, and chanted some unknown mantras, Xuanjing seemed to be like a heavenly spirit. of.

Thinking that this was Tie Ying's masterpiece, he had no choice but to hold back his smile and try to keep a straight face.

After the old man finished praying, he ordered Xuan Jing to light the candles in the house, and then stepped forward to start the autopsy for Li Haoying.After Xuan finished lighting the candles, he was busy holding a booklet, and followed behind the old servant.According to the rules of inspecting corpses in the Han Dynasty, the experienced assistants are responsible for examining the corpses, while the apprentices who have just started are holding a small book next to them to record the inspection results that the master said, and then go back and sort them into the file. Filed as evidence in the case.Before coming here, Xuan Jing made up for the autopsy process of the next boss a little bit, in order not to reveal his secrets in front of the old boss.

I saw that the old master inspected Li Haoying's body, including limbs, torso, and tongue one by one in detail. While checking, he said what he saw and the conclusions that could be inferred from this phenomenon.While Xuan Jing was recording from the side, he did not forget to look for relevant clues on the corpse.

When the old Wu Zuo carefully examined Li Haoying's head, Xuan Jing found that the hands of the corpse were fist-shaped, as if they were holding something.Taking a sneak peek at Old Wu Zuo with squinting eyes, he carefully opened the left hand closest to him and found that there was nothing inside.Then quietly went around to the other side and parted his right hand.With this break, he really found a piece of evidence.It was a small piece of cloth, a light brown coarse cloth, which is usually used to make men's coats.Xuan Jing carefully hid the cloth in the girdle, and then returned to the original position with a natural expression.

And at this moment, the old master who was looking carefully at Li Haoying's neck suddenly let out a "huh".Xuan Jing immediately stepped forward and said, "What's wrong?"

The old Wu Zuo pinched Li Haoying's jaw with one hand and twisted it back and forth, revealing his pale neck with bruises: "Look, although there were bruises on the neck of the deceased, the marks on the part where the rope was suspended were very shallow and less bruised. It means that he was hanged after death and did not commit suicide." Seeing Xuan Jing thoughtful, the old man explained, "If he hanged himself normally, his neck would be blocked by a large amount of blood, and there would be a heavy bruise. Purple, not like it is now."

The old Wuzuo said, he took Li Haoying's hand and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look: "There are also a few pieces of meat left between the nails. It seems that the deceased had fought with someone before his death and scratched the murderer."

Xuan Jing's heart sank, sure enough, this Li Haoying was silenced, but I don't know who did it.

After the old Wu made the inspection, he and Xuan Jing waited outside the house.Not long after, the officer who led the way came over. When he saw the two, he did not take them away immediately. Instead, he stared at Wu Zuo for a while before slowly saying, "This suicide case is done according to the usual rules." Just deal with it, don't make more things, you hear me?"

Xuan Jing's eyes froze, this was clearly to make them lie about the corpse.The old master at the side seemed to be used to this. After the initial silence, he cupped his hands expressionlessly and said, "Yes, when I go back, I will sort out the characteristics of the deceased's body caused by suicide and make a case file."

Satisfied with the old butcher's answer, the official sent a smile and said, "If you're okay, just follow me." As he spoke, he took the two of them through various twists and turns, and sent them to the gate of the Tingwei Office the door.

When the two of them watched the elder brother leave, Xuan Jing pretended to be dumbfounded and asked: "That man clearly committed suicide, why did that little brother insist on committing suicide?"

The old Wu Zuo was startled, looked around, pulled Xuan Jing to a corner and whispered: "Shhh, it's good to keep such words in your heart from now on. We don't care about the affairs of the officials. Sometimes In order to save my life, I can only turn a blind eye and close one eye, and there is no other way." After finishing speaking, the old master sighed.Seeing that Xuan Jing still looked ignorant, he shook his head, took the toolbox from Xuan Jing, and said, "In the future, you will get used to this job after seeing a lot of it."

Until the old Wu Zuo walked away, Xuan Jing was still standing at the corner of the wall, his eyes darkened.

***

When Xuan Jing climbed over the wall and returned to his room, Fu Yun had already fallen asleep lying on the stone table in the yard.The moonlight shone on his handsome features, revealing a hazy sense of beauty.Xuan Jing couldn't help standing quietly beside Fu Yun, staring at his sleeping face for a while, then bent down to pick him up and walked into his room.After he put Fu Yun on the bed, Fu Yun woke up slowly, with sleepy eyes: "You are back."

"Well, seeing you sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to wake you up." Xuan Jing smiled and kissed his cheek, stood up and prepared to leave.

Fu Yun immediately came to his senses, and grabbed his sleeve: "It's okay, I'll help you remove your makeup." Now Xuanjing still had that dull youthful face.

Originally planning to go to Tie Ying to remove her makeup, Xuan Jing had no choice but to stop and let Fu Yun go.

Holding the sweat towel in his fair hand, he rubbed it in the basin, and then gently wiped it against Xuanjing's face that had already removed his make-up. Fu Yun put the sweat towel back into the basin until he was sure that it was wiped clean.The basin that was clear and clean is now a cloudy brown.

Xuan Jing looked at the restored face in the mirror, secretly amazed, even though he had been disguised many times.But every time he saw himself changing from one face to another, he was still curious.After all, in modern times, even if makeup is so advanced, it is impossible to transform oneself into another person just by makeup.

Fu Yun put the sweat towel aside and asked, "Have you found anything?"

Talking about Li Haoying, the smile on Xuan Jing's face softened a bit: "This man was indeed killed by him, but he didn't know who the murderer was, so he only found this piece of fabric." He took out the light brown piece of fabric from his waistband Show it to Fu Yun.

Fu Yun took it over, took a closer look and said, "This kind of fabric is very common, but the patterns on it are rare."

"Oh?" Just now in that dim room, Xuanjing was not easy to take a closer look, so he just took a cursory look and hid it, not noticing the patterns on it.Hearing what Fu Yun said, he quickly took it over and examined it carefully. Sure enough, he saw a semicircular curved stripe on the small piece of brown clothes.Generally speaking, the coarse cloth coat of this kind of cloth is rarely embroidered with stripes.So, it's kind of weird.

Looking at the pattern, Xuan Jing smiled and said: "It seems that there is another clue."

Fu Yun, who didn't understand why Xuan Jing wanted to investigate this case, said in confusion: "You want to find out the real culprit for Li Haoying?" Based on his understanding of Xuan Jing, Xuan Jing would not investigate a case for no reason. unrelated case.

"Of course not. At first I was just out of curiosity. I pretended to be an apprentice just to verify my conjecture. But now my conjecture has been confirmed, which shows that the Guodu county government is indeed a key department. I don't know what Li Haoying did. To be killed by the black hand behind the scenes, or what position this county government occupies in the entire network. Although I haven't figured it out yet, I have an intuition that as long as I find out the joints, I can catch him. Live the lifeblood of this force." Xuan Jing spoke with eloquence.

"Judging from your tone, you seem to have someone to suspect?" Fu Yun said.

"That's right, the Cheng family and the Huang family are seriously injured, and they won't do such small tricks for the time being. The only one left is the Taiwei family. But this is just my speculation, there is no evidence. Without 100% certainty, I dare not make random moves." Conclusion. After all, life is always full of various accidents and twists and turns." Xuan Jing spread his hands helplessly, seeing Fu Yun's lips moving slightly and preparing to say something, Xuan Jing hurriedly hugged him into his arms, leaned over and kissed Fu Yun's cheek He licked his lips lightly before leaving Fu Yun, his lips pressed against his lips and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed first. As for the clues, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Fu Yun to speak out, he kissed Fu Yun's lips deeply again, and pressed him down.

Beautiful night.

Xuan Jing woke up early because he had to go to bed early and had to arrange the search for the murderer in advance.After washing up, he called Shitou and Tie Ying together.These days, Shi Shi was in Prince Jing's mansion, either learning to write with Luo Youlan, or learning martial arts with Tie Ying.Although every day is full, he still inevitably wants to do something for Xuan Jing.After all, he is now Xuanjing's personal bodyguard, and he just sits in the palace doing nothing every day, which really makes him feel bad, and feels like he is eating nothing.Therefore, when Xuanjing called Shito to the yard this time, he was very excited for a while.

Xuan Jing briefly explained the task, and asked them to split up near Li Haoying's house and ask the surrounding residents and grocery vendors about who they saw or what unusual behavior they had on the night Li Haoying committed suicide.Finally, he showed them the brown cloth and asked them to look for anyone wearing similar clothes, male or female.Seeing that Shi Shi brought Daha with him, Xuanjing also asked Daha to smell the cloth, and told it that if it found someone with a similar smell, he would treat it to eat bones at night.Daha jumped up and down happily on the spot, and the stone beside him was inexplicable.

"By the way, the most important point is that during your investigation, no one will see that you are investigating the case. Do you understand?"

"Ah? But, as soon as I ask people, they will know." Shitou didn't understand, so he felt that Xuanjing was joking.

Tie Ying on the side said two words with a blank face: "Idiot."

"Hey, who are you scolding?!" Shitou was so angry that he almost rushed up and grabbed Tie Ying's lapel.

Tie Ying didn't even look at him, and knelt on one knee to Xuan Jing and said, "Yes, master!" After speaking, he disappeared in a flash, leaving Shi Shi stunned and angry.

"What, relying on your own high martial arts, it's amazing." Shito muttered in a low voice, very unconvinced.

At this time, a woman's voice came from not far away, "Don't worry, my lord, Shitou and I promise to complete the task!" Luo Youlan, who was hiding outside the courtyard at some point and changed into light men's clothes, walked over quickly and stopped Stone's nonsense.

Seeing this, Xuan Jing, who was about to mention Shi Shi, smiled: "Then there will be Mrs. Lao Shi."
