While Qin Yugu was thinking, the person from the county government who was responsible for recording the condition of the corpse also arrived.

Along with them came a large number of huge carriages covered with white cloth.

"You, dispose of all these corpses! Tell me about the condition of each corpse!"

He said he wanted Qin Yugu to work, but the man clearly had a pen and paper, but showed no signs of using it. Qin Yugu also understood the situation and silently stared at the trucks that had begun to emit smells, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"I'm going to prepare some things and wait a moment."

After Qin Yugu finished speaking, he quickly ran to the backyard of the government office and started rummaging through the garbage thrown out from the kitchen.

Direct contact with the corpse in this way will definitely lead to contamination, so at least you need to find tools to block it.

Don't even think about plastic gloves, but you can still use them after washing them with the animal's stomach bag.

It happened that yesterday the county government master ate a roasted whole lamb, and the lamb's stomach was cut off and thrown out. Qin Yugu picked up the lamb's stomach in the disgusted eyes of the surrounding attendants, and poured the water from the water tank without any scruples.

He took out a little bit, washed the sheep's stomach and carried it back.

"You put this on your hand when you left?"

The recorder of the case file looked at the stomach bag gloves she put on her hands with disdain. It seemed that they were simply scratched a few times with a kitchen knife and then sewn together with needle and thread.

"Well, these corpses are contaminated with corpse water, and there may be corpse plague, so be careful."

As she spoke, she walked around the clerk and suddenly lifted the white cloth covering the vehicle, exposing the twisted faces to the sun.

Without exception, all the old, young, women, and children died of illness. They all had more or less fatal stab wounds on their bodies. Some young people had even more horrific wounds, and the disgusting smell of blood could even be smelled.

The clerk was also shocked by this scene and backed away, but the coachman had no reaction. They had been responsible for this kind of thing all year round and were accustomed to it.

"Sir, just sit there. The others can help me move these to a cool place. The body will rot easily if it is exposed to the sun for a long time."

Qin Yugu even had a peaceful smile on her face that looked very charming now. She pulled the body of a child less than five years old off the roof of the car, tried her best to keep her movements offensive to the deceased, and slowly removed the corpse of the deceased.

Take it to a place where the sun does not shine and store it flat.

She carefully opened the deceased's eyelids, her movements skillful and calm.

"According to the condition and time of pupil dilation...the time of death was about the afternoon two days ago...roughly around five to seven o'clock..."

Her voice was very soft, which was Qin Yugu's professional habit. Firstly, it was convenient for the recording pen to remember, and secondly, it would not disturb the deceased.

Furthermore, these words were not meant for the people present.

The clerk stood aside with a pen and noticed that Qin Yugu had spoken, so he signaled her not to ramble.

"What are you muttering under your breath?! Hurry up and check and explain the situation!"

She frowned slightly, then stood up with a sinister smile.

"Of course, but there is an old Taoist priest in our village who once said that if the dead don't say some words of comfort, they will run home to find you in the middle of the night. Of course I am not afraid of my humble life. This is for your own good, and so do you.

do not wish……"

As she spoke, she glanced seriously at the corpses lying on the ground in miserable condition, with a hint of awe in her cold eyes.

When the girl said this, the clerk stopped saying anything, huddled his neck and sat in the sun, looked around for a while, and tightened his clothes.

Where there are a lot of dead people, people infiltrate! Fortunately, this girl is not afraid and has the ability to watch her movements, otherwise he would not dare to stay here!

She continued to examine the corpses, and the driver next to her kept carrying the corpses over. She directed them to put the corpses into categories according to gender and age while continuing to examine them.

When all the examinations of the elderly, children and young men were completed, Qin Yugu walked to the area where the women's bodies were placed, squatted down to examine them, and his expression became extremely strange.

There are no wounds on these women at all! They just wear coarse clothes stained with blood!

She checked her arms and palms again—

"The calluses are too thin, and the skin is not in the condition that can be maintained in a village environment..."

She then reached out and touched the waist of the deceased, further confirming her judgment.

She has never given birth! She is also very young! And...

She looked inside the sleeves and saw bruises that shouldn't appear on a woman in a deserted village.

Is there only one... or...

Trying to remain silent, she put down the dead man's arm and walked towards the other dead man.

It turned out that the features on her body were almost exactly the same as those of the deceased! There were similar bruises on the hidden parts, and the appearance of her body was not at all what a normal village woman would have.

If she is a rich girl... that is not accurate. Although the calluses on her hands are not as thick as those of village women, she is still a woman who has undertaken a certain amount of labor.

But she is not someone who is engaged in farm work or heavy manual labor. She is more like a good girl who used to be a prostitute in her boudoir...

Most of them were around seventeen or eighteen years old. In ancient times, it was very normal to get married and even have children at this age. But not only did these dead people not have any! They were also much better maintained than village women!

The scars of abuse that are not easy to detect, the changed clothes...Who on earth wants to replace the bodies of these young women here?!

Qin Yugu squatted in front of the second corpse without moving for a long time. The corpse examination she had been responsible for flashed through her mind, and a conclusion that was very similar but she really didn't want to think about it in detail came to mind.

If the methods of torture are similar... then the methods of killing are also...

"Hey?! What are you dawdling about! Hurry up and report the test results, it's already noon!"

The clerk was also a little impatient. The corpses Qin Yugu checked were the last batch of corpses. Although everyone in front of them was moving very quickly, they stopped moving when they reached the group of women.

What was she trying to do by stalling for time? Or did she change her mind?

She ignored the clerk's urging and began to search around the body.

"I'm sorry for the offence."

She did not untie the woman's clothes, but slowly held her forehead and turned her over.

There were no blood stains at different times on the clothes, and the wound was most likely not on the body, at least not on the front.

As expected, the time when the blood scab formed on the clothes on the back was consistent with her observations.

Where exactly? How exactly...

Someone was watching, and she couldn't point out that the way these women died was abnormal. Even though she had already seen that these people were not villagers in Qinjia Village, and even though she was not familiar with the elderly and children, she could basically confirm their household registrations.

Qin Yugu was struggling when a burst of dazzling sunlight suddenly hit his eyes.

It turned out to be noon, the sun was shining high, and the yard that was originally shaded was basically covered by sunlight.

An extremely prominent silver light spot flashed across Qin Yugu's field of vision, and she locked her sight on the back of the deceased's neck.

Although it was difficult to see clearly from this distance, it should be the end of the thin metal needle. It was not completely inserted and the end was still outside the skin. If it were not for the reflection of sunlight, it would be difficult for her to see it.

There were no modern instruments here, so Qin Yugu could only perform autopsies under limited conditions. He felt really lucky and sneered.

"This is really..."

The killer kills those old people and children, all with one blow with a long knife, and then devotes his energy to inserting silver needles into the spinal cord to cover up the traces? Ridiculous!

Obviously he didn’t want people to find out how these women died! That’s why he acted like this!

As for being able to switch the body that was transported to the county government, except for people from the county government, she didn't believe that the carriage drivers had the courage!

With the basic results in hand, she stood up and walked to the clerk.

"All the deceased died from accidentally drinking the river water that was contaminated by corpses. Most of them were dumped by people at the mass graves to the river, and the river water was contaminated with corpse poison. It's really unfortunate..."

She had a look of regret on her face, as if she was really distressed by this tragic "accident".

The clerk jotted down two notes casually, and Qin Yugu asked with a smile -

"Sir, does our county master have a son? How many ladies do he have in his house?"

The clerk saw that Qin Yugu did not question the examination results of the corpse. It was normal for a girl of her age to be interested in such questions, so he answered a few words casually.

"My first wife passed away three years ago, and the young master is not yet married...but with your beauty..."

He glanced at the hideous burns on Qin Yugu's face and suppressed the urge to gag.

"It's better not to think about it. It's lucky that someone wants you. Do you still want to have a relationship with the county magistrate?"

Qin Yugu put his twisted fists behind his back and covered the burns on his face, feeling inferior and timid.

"I...how can a pariah like me think too much? It's just asking about the situation. With such a face, I have to avoid noble people in the house as much as possible...it also clears everyone's eyes."

Her appearance is quite pitiful, but with such a face, it really makes people lose the desire to protect her.

The clerk got up and left with the coachmen, waving his hands.

"You can keep these corpses for a while. There is a cellar under the other courtyard, just throw them in!"

Qin Yugu stood behind him and nodded.

"By the way, remember to clean up the ground. The governor will come to inspect it in the near future. Don't let these unlucky things dirty the governor's eyes! The date of burning is also waiting for the county magistrate to notify you!"

"clear."

She bowed and saluted, the disdain in her heart growing stronger.

Should the superiors temporarily seal the body after inspection and wait until the governor leaves to dispose of it? It would be nice to destroy the body and eliminate traces...

It's just that the things that the county magistrate's family wants to hide are probably far more than just the massacre of Qinjia Village, right?!

After those people left, she moved all the bodies into the hut by herself, cleaned the hut again, checked the sanitary environment, and closed all the windows that exposed to direct sunlight.
To be continued...
