"To confirm a person's identity, it is not necessary to look at the head." Zu An took a wooden stick and turned over the bones. "This person has at least thirty wounds all over his body. Even if his head is not beheaded, based on the amount of bleeding, he
I can’t survive either.”
"It was obvious that he had gone through a fierce battle before he died, and the arcs of these wounds were strange. They were completely different from the weapons of Dazhou practitioners, and were very similar to the scimitars commonly used by the demon clan."
"Could it be that some secret force used these scimitars to forge the identity of the demon clan?" Pei Mianman questioned.
"It is indeed possible, but look here." Zu An pointed to the position of the tiger's mouth on the left hand of the skeleton, "Although the cocoon here can no longer be seen clearly, the knuckles are obviously larger than those on the right hand. It is obvious that he is used to using his left hand knife.
of."
"Consistent with the information investigated by my staff, Cheng Ba is indeed left-handed."
"If details such as the knife wounds from the fierce fight and the left-handedness were all deliberate, the probability is too small. So this is probably not the person I am looking for."
"That's true..." Pei Mianman nodded repeatedly and suddenly remembered the meaning of his words, "Who is the person you are looking for?"
"There once was a guard who was loyal to the Duke of Yunzhong who traveled thousands of miles to report to the capital, but was silenced on the way." Zu An looked at several graves, his tone full of respect, "I am the one this time.
Let’s confirm his identity and see if there are any new clues.”
"He is indeed a loyal man." Pei Mianman was also filled with emotion, "By the way, I already said that I was here to help Prince Qi spy on information. Why did you tell me everything? Aren't you afraid that I will turn around?
Reveal it?"
Zu An smiled: "What is our relationship? How can I not trust you?"
Although Pei Mianman felt extremely sweet when he heard this, he still deliberately stiffened his face and lectured: "Sooner or later, you will be deceived by a woman."
"I am willing to be deceived by you." Zu An looked at her affectionately.
"Nasty~" The smile on Pei Mianman's lips could no longer stop, "It's better to get down to business quickly, I don't want to stay here for a long time."
Zu An nodded, covered Cheng Ba's coffin again, and then pushed the seal back again.
He was here to investigate the case, and it was wrong to disturb someone's rest. How could he really expose his body to the wilderness?
Soon the second tomb was opened. Pei Mianman was originally eager to help him burn off the corpse energy accumulated in the coffin, but when she saw the contents of the coffin, her expression changed drastically and she ran to the side and retched.
It turned out that there was a dark, charred corpse lying in the coffin at this time, and many parts of the body were cracked, exposing the flesh inside.
I don’t know if it’s because the body has been there for too long or something else, but the color and properties of the meat are really hard to describe.
Zu An waved his hand to disperse the smell in the coffin, and then explained: "This man is called Shen Zhou. He investigated a smuggling case and found a suspicious warehouse. The warehouse suddenly caught fire and burned him to death inside.
"
"Most likely the smugglers destroyed his body and burned him." Pei Mianman frowned.
"We need to check to be sure." Zu An said as he took out the prepared gloves and put them on, took out a dagger and slowly cut open the chest cavity of the charred corpse.
"What are you going to do?" Pei Mianman's eyes widened when he saw this scene, and he really couldn't understand why he would do such a thing.
While carefully cutting the disgusting carrion, Zu An explained: "See if he was really burned to death. If he was really burned to death, there would be soot residue in the trachea and there would be traces of being burned.
, and if it was silenced and then burned, there would be no such thing.”
"Azu, how do you know so many things?" Pei Mianman was a little surprised. These truths were clear at a glance, but she didn't hear anyone say it. She really didn't know that she could judge like this.
Zu An smiled: "You'll know if you watch more TV series."
"What?" Pei Mianman was a little confused, obviously not understanding what he meant.
At this time, Zu An frowned: "He was indeed burned to death."
Although the body is now somewhat decomposed, cigarette ash can still be vaguely found in the other party's trachea.
"Then his death is no longer suspicious?" Pei Mianman asked.
Zu An nodded slightly and then opened the third tomb.
As the coffin opened, a horribly twisted mummy was revealed inside.
But Pei Mianman was very calm this time, because she had seen a lot of things like this, and she had seen them many times before in Yinxu.
"This man's name is Yu Li. According to the case records, he died after being sucked dry by an unknown evil creature." Zu An looked at the twisted face of the mummy and could imagine the pain he went through before his death.
.
"Are they the same kind as Taoist Mosquito?" Taoist Mosquito had left a huge shadow on Pei Mianman.
Zu An shook his head: "The number of vampires is very small, and if there is any movement, it must have spread throughout the city. This cannot be the only victim."
He checked as he spoke, and soon his expression became strange: "Do I know how he died?"
Pei Mianman blinked, looked at him curiously, and touched a few of them at random, so that he could tell?
"He should have been drained of his essence and blood by Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows..." Then he roughly told the story of how he met Taoist Thick Eyebrows in Yi County and fought with him.
Just because they had fought each other, he could feel the remaining aura on the opponent's body at a glance, and it was clearly the evil skill of the Taoist with Thick Eyebrows.
Pei Mianman couldn't help but sigh: "I have heard a little bit about Taoist Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows' reputation. He has a high level of cultivation and has weird martial arts. Even if he meets someone stronger than him, he will be afraid of his evil skills. But when I meet you,
, it’s also considered unlucky.”
The two of them spent time together in the Yin Ruins, so they naturally knew that he had learned the Taotie Devouring Heaven Technique.
Zu An smiled: "I hope there are more money-spreading boys like Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows, the better."
It was just a matter of snatching those precious materials from the other party. The book "A Thousand Faces of People" was really amazing. The more he studied it, the more he became addicted to it.
"If Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Taoist Thick Eyebrows finds out, I'm afraid you will be very angry." Pei Mianman sneered, and after smiling, there was a hint of worry on his beautiful cheeks, "Now that the investigation of the three of them has been completed, there is no problem with the cause of their death.
Ah, has the clue been broken again?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Zu An smiled, re-buried the two coffins, and then left the cemetery with Pei Mianman.
"Don't touch me." Seeing the other person's hand hugging him, Pei Mianman stepped back with a strange expression.
Zu An was very depressed: "I was wearing gloves just now, and I washed them by the river later."
"I don't care." Pei Mianman's face turned pale when he thought of the scene where the other party had just dissected the half-decomposed corpses.
Zu An: "..."
"Okay, okay, if I don't get hit, I won't get hit. Then you can hug me." After Zu An got on the horse, he motioned for her to sit behind him. Thinking of the wonderful experience along the way, Pei Mianman felt that his chest was still trembling a little.
There was a hint of shame on her pretty face: "Bad guy~"
Despite saying this, she still sat behind the other person.
The bumpy ride made Pei Mianman's peach blossom eyes almost water. In order to cover up her embarrassment, she hurriedly looked for a topic and said, "Where are you going now?"
"Go to their house." Zu An replied.
"Them?" Pei Mianman's voice trembled, "Who were those just now?"
"Um."
"..."
It didn't take long for the two of them to arrive at a small village on the outskirts of the country. There were a few earthen houses scattered around the village.
Zu An walked straight to a courtyard halfway up the mountain. At the door, there was a six or seven-year-old boy, riding a bamboo horse and waving a wooden sword in his hand, yelling: "Charge!"
Apparently they were playing a war game.
Pei Mianman couldn't help but smile: "This child is so cute."
Zu An leaned into her ear and said, "It will definitely be cuter if we have one."
"I hate it, who wants to have sex with you?" Pei Mianman pushed him, but began to long for him in his heart.
"Wow, your horses are so majestic!" At this time, the child obviously noticed them. Seeing the tall horses they were riding, he suddenly felt that his fake bamboo horse was no longer good.
"Kids, is this Shen Zhou's home?" The two jumped off their horses, and Zu An smiled and touched his head.
"Do you know my dad?" The child's face lit up with joy.
"We are your father's friends." Seeing the suspicious look in his eyes, Zu An thought for a moment and took out a dagger from the glass orb. "Seeing that you like to play fighting games, uncle will give you a gift."
There are many weapons and the like in the Glazed Orb, but in order to avoid causing trouble for the child, he chose a relatively ordinary dagger, but the quality of the one he could store in the Glazed Orb would not be any lower.
.
The child really couldn't put it down, stroking the dagger and wanting to hold it in his arms. He thought for a moment and handed over the wooden sword in his hand: "My father said that you can't accept favors from others casually. If you give me a sword, I will give it to you too."
One handful, then we will be even."
A child has a simple mind, so how could he know that the dagger given to him by the other party was worth enough to buy hundreds or thousands of toy wooden swords like the one in his hand?
"Huzi, who are you talking to?" At this moment, there was a squeak, and a woman wiped the water stains on her hands with her apron and walked out of the house. After seeing the two people clearly, her face changed slightly, and she came over with a few strides.
The child held him in his arms and looked at the two of them warily, "Who are you?"
Zu An quickly looked at the other party. Due to working in the mountains all year round, the skin on his face was a little dark and his arms were rough. They were no different from the peasant women he had seen along the way after entering the village. Of course, their appearance was better than those.
But she can hardly be called a beauty.
"They said they were daddy's friends." The child was unprepared and rushed to answer in order to show off.
"Friends?" The woman looked at the two of them suspiciously. It was not surprising that she was suspicious. The main reason was that the man was handsome and the woman was extremely beautiful. Standing in front of them made people feel inexplicably ashamed of themselves.
How could my husband have such a beautiful friend?
