Chapter 96 Identity of the Corpse(1/2)

"Smelly man, does this child of yours have a brain disease?"

Su Su trotted into the study room, and the thorny feeling in her back disappeared. It was strange that she was made uncomfortable by being stared at by a five or six-year-old child.

"You are the only one who is sick. Your whole family is sick. Oh, I forgot that your whole family has been executed."

Xu Qi'an responded mercilessly. He had forgotten his aunt's joke and thought Su Su was trying to kill Xiao Douding.

"squeak......."

Xu Qi'an closed the door of the study and wanted to pour a cup of tea for Li Miaozhen. However, considering that there might be an autopsy next, it was not the time to drink tea, so he did not serve tea to the guest.

Li Miaozhen didn't waste any time. He took out the fragment of the book and shook it lightly. A black shadow fell down and fell to the floor of the study room with a "clack".

Xu Qian, who has keen senses, smelled a strong smell of blood.

He stared at the headless body for a moment and asked, "Where is his soul?"

Just a headless corpse can't explain anything. Since Li Miaozhen said it was a big deal, he must have used Taoist methods to summon the soul.

Li Miaozhen patted the sachet, and a wisp of green smoke curled around Nana, turning into a middle-aged man with dull eyes and blurry face in mid-air. He murmured: "Three thousand miles of blood massacre, three thousand miles of blood massacre, please send troops to attack."

....."

The Tianzong Saint's face was heavy, "His soul is damaged. I want to know the follow-up content. The only way is to nourish the soul. Depending on the degree of damage to the soul, it will take at least two months."

Xu Qian looked at her and said, "Haha": "After two months, the day lilies will be cold."

Li Miaozhen stared: "Then what do you think we should do?"

She really didn't know what to do. There was only such a clue, no beginning and no end. How to find out the truth?

Su Su's beautiful black and white eyes stared intently. She knew that with Xu Qi'an's ability to solve crimes, he would definitely not be as confused as his master.

Su Su was looking forward to and curious about this, wondering from what angle he would analyze it.

Xu Qian thought for a moment, then leaned over to remove the clothes from the body. After looking at it, he said, "No surprise, he should be from the north."

Li Miaozhen's eyes lit up instantly and asked: "What's the basis?"

She watched the shameless No. 3 examine the body, but she did not come to the same conclusion as him.

"A person is raised by a different land and water. You can tell who the deceased is from his appearance and skin. There is no head, and the ghost's face is too blurry... So I want to determine where this headless corpse is from.

You have to verify it from the physical details."

Xu Qi'an raised the corpse's right hand and said, "Look, in addition to the calluses on the palm of this person's palm, he also has a thick layer of calluses on his index finger. This kind of calluses will not occur when wielding a knife or a sword."

Su Su and Li Miaozhen took a closer look and found that it was indeed the case.

The stunning female ghost blinked her beautiful eyes and said softly: "What kind of weapon was used? Don't tell anyone about it."

Li Miaozhen looked astonished: "It's a bow."

As expected of a female general who was waiting in the military camp, she responded quickly...Xu Qi'an nodded: "Yes, this person is good at shooting."

Su Su tilted her head and retorted: "How can you prove that he is from the north based on this? I feel like you are making nonsense. There are many people who are good at shooting, so they can't be from the army?"

Li Miaozhen nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Miss Susu is right. For example, there is a person beside you who is good at shooting and is not in the army."

Xu Qian winked, kept moving his hands, separated the legs of the headless corpse, and said:

"Look carefully, there are no calluses at the base of his thighs. If he is a soldier who rides for a long time, there will definitely be calluses on his thighs. He is not a member of the army, and he is good at shooting. This is in line with the characteristics of northerners. People from all over the Dafeng area

Jianghu people are not good at using bows."

Northerners are good at bows and arrows. Even an ordinary adult man can shoot a bow. According to Xu Qian's understanding, the standard equipment for people in the martial arts in several northern states is a knife and a bow when going out.

Sometimes, you can even do without a knife and use a dagger and a broken blade instead, but you can't do without a bow.

At this time, Su Su came up with another retort and said, "Maybe it's the archers."

Xu Qian sneered: "Who would send an archer to deliver a message? If I guessed correctly, this person is probably a person from the north. As for what he meant by what he wanted to convey, who he was appointed by, and whose murderous hands he suffered, I

I don’t know.”

Li Miaozhen exhaled silently and said happily: "Then I'll leave his affairs to you. As a watchman, Yin Luo should handle these matters."

Su Su also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that although this stinky man was lustful and annoying, he was really good at it.

The analysis was sound and well-founded, and she was still convinced.

He and his master were confused and had no idea how to investigate further, but after handing it over to this man, they immediately had clues.

Although Su Su often complained that Li Miaozhen was nosy, and although she liked to absorb men's energy, she knew that she was a kind-hearted female ghost.

If the matter of the headless corpse is not handled properly, both she and Li Miaozhen will suffer psychological burden.

Therefore, this highlights how good Xu Qian is and can bring such a sense of security.

...........

After arranging guest rooms for Li Miaozhen and Su Su, and instructing the cook to prepare some snacks, Xu Qian returned to the study, collected the corpses into fragments of books, begged for the remnant souls, and rode the little mare to the Yamen.

"I remember Wei Gong said that there were frequent wars in the north, and Dafeng was defeated one after another. Civil servants wrote to impeach the King of Zhenbei, but Emperor Yuan Jing forcibly passed the blame to Wei Yuan and removed him as the censor of Zuodu.

"Three thousand miles of bloody massacre. I can't imagine such a big thing... Why haven't I heard of it before? It's a serious matter. We must report it to Wei Yuan in time."

The little mare galloped to the Yamen. Xu Qian handed the reins to the official on duty at the door and hurried to Haoqi Tower.

"Xu Yinluo, Wei Gong just ordered the carriage to be prepared and is about to enter the palace." The guard downstairs replied.

You have to enter the palace... Entering the palace is also a waste of time arguing with Emperor Yuan Jing and the civil servants... Xu Qi'an said with a straight face: "Don't talk too much, go in and pass the news."

"Yes..." The guard ran into the building knowingly.

After receiving a confirmed reply from the guard, Xu Qi'an pressed the knife with one hand and climbed up the steps. He saw Wei Yuan sitting behind the desk, eyes full of vicissitudes washed by the years, looking at him gently and calmly.

He was still wearing green clothes, but it was embroidered with complicated cloud patterns, and there was a blue dragon on his chest.

This is the court dress Wei Yuan wore when he went to court or went to the palace to meet the saints.

"You only have time for a cup of tea. If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly." Wei Yuan spoke to his confidant in a not very polite tone.

"Since Mr. Wei is in such a hurry, I'll keep the story short." Xu Qian'an didn't feel well, so she took out the jade fragments and shook them gently.

Bang...the headless corpse fell into the clean and tidy tea room, polluting the clean floor.

Wei Yuan was a little shocked, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on."

"Li Miaozhen arrived in the capital today and is currently staying at my house." Xu Qian said.

"Um!"

Wei Yuan nodded, not caring about this. He stared at the headless corpse and said calmly: "But what does it have to do with this corpse?"

Xu Qian grinned: "It's a big deal. She found this body eighty miles away from the capital, and it was decapitated with a single knife. It was neat and clean."

"Li Miaozhen is a nosy person, so he summoned the remnant souls of the deceased to ask about the situation. Who knew..."

He paused deliberately, trying to pass it off, but when he saw that Wei Yuan's face was not very good-looking, he suddenly felt afraid that his salary for the next month would be deducted because he stepped with his left foot first when leaving the house, so he immediately said:

"The soul said something, well, Mr. Wei, you can read it yourself."

He took off the sachet that Li Miaozhen gave you, opened the red rope, and a puff of green smoke emerged, turning into a man with a blurred face and dull eyes in mid-air, murmuring and repeating:

"Three thousand miles of bloody massacre, three thousand miles of bloody massacre, please send troops to attack..."

Wei Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the remnant soul with extremely sharp eyes.

He was silent for a few seconds and said, "Do you have any clues?"

This is not a question, but an affirmative sentence. It seems certain that Xu Qi'an must have discovered something.

Sure enough, the little silver gong he admired never let him down. Xu Qianhui reported: "The humble official initially concluded that he was from the north and was killed on his way to Beijing to report."

He explained his speculation in detail.

"There has been no war in Dafeng recently. Except for Wei Gong in the north, the situation in the north may be worse than we imagined. But the court did not receive the corresponding report?"

"No."

Wei Yuan shook his head and frowned slightly: "Do you suspect that King Zhenbei lied about military information?"

Xu Qian glanced at Wei Yuan, "This is not surprising. What is strange is that if King Zhenbei lied about military intelligence, why didn't the Yamen receive the intelligence?"

There are hidden secrets all over Jiuzhou. How could there be no news about such a big event as the bloody massacre of three thousand miles?

"At the beginning of the year, I deployed most of the secret agents to the northeast. Very few stayed in the north, so news was inevitably blocked." Wei Yuan said helplessly.

Have all the hidden men been dispatched to the northeast? What does Wei Gong want to do, attack the Witch God Cult? Xu Qian suddenly realized and stopped asking, "Then what do Wei Gong think about handling this matter?"

Wei Yuan glanced at the water drain placed in the corner of the room and said: "I will go to the palace to face the saint first, and I will take away the body and soul. You don't need to pay attention to this matter."

After Xu Qi'an nodded, he continued: "Now that Li Miaozhen has arrived in the capital, the covenant between heaven and man will end soon, and the public security in the capital will be much better.

"I don't know how many spies have sneaked in during this period to find out information. Fortunately, there are guards watching, so we can't cause any trouble.

"You ask Li Miaozhen to pay more attention. In extraordinary times, don't go out of the city at will, don't cause trouble, and be prepared for possible dangers."

"What dangers may there be?" Xu Qian asked back.

Wei Yuan looked at the water leak again and said very quickly: "I will only tell you the dangers she may encounter: first, the danger comes from the imperial court. Second, the danger comes from spies from other countries. You can think of the reasons for yourself, I have to
To be continued...
