Hui Mo takes a stone and starts to grind the garlic and soak it in the cloth. He says complacently, "Haha, how can I not take it with me? It took me two days to come up with this secret book. I won't teach it to anyone else. Isn't it smart? "
Ning Shu wanted to say that he didn't mind the smell, but after thinking about it, she decided to keep her mouth shut. She took the gloves and the cloth towel soaked in garlic juice from his hands and put it on. She helped him carefully carry the corpse down and lay it flat on a platform without any water.
The body has been dead for a long time. There is a dizzying smell coming from it. Hui Mo goes to the door and takes a deep breath. He comes back and squats in front of the body. He says, "Excuse me." Then he starts to work.
"Six feet three inches tall. She was not raped before she died. The cause of death is that she was stabbed in the heart. The knife went right through her heart. She didn't show any signs of struggle."
Ning Shu listens to him and analyzes, "Did you find any traces of knockout drugs in her mouth, throat, or intestines?"
"No."
"The murderer was either a very strong man who could control her without any resistance and then stab her to death. Or he suddenly swung the knife when she was unprepared. The knife went right through her, indicating that it was very likely to be someone she knew, which was why she was so unguarded. Or it was the last one."
"Which one?"
"The ghost of Empress Zhou enchanted her mind."
Hui Mo trembles when he hears this.
It was one thing for others to say, but he had seen it with his own eyes. The ghostly figure floating in the void was too real, and he couldn't help but believe it.
He quickly shakes his head to shake the horrible scene out of his mind. He lowers his head to untie the phoenix robe on the body, "The victim was burned after she died. Her face was burned the most. According to the weather and the decay of the body, she died less than a month ago. Her phoenix robe is intact, but there is a lot of dust on it. Judging from the marks on her neck, she was hung on the beam two days ago. Otherwise, her head would have been cut off."
Ning Shu looked around carefully and found that there were four relatively large puddles on this floor.
She frowned and bent down to touch the corpse. She continued, "The deceased should have been buried in the ground after death. These days, the murderer noticed that I was investigating this case, so he dug up the corpse and created the strange scene today. He completely blamed this case on Empress Zhou. Let's go out and check later. We should be able to find a piece of land that has just been turned over nearby. As for the fire after her death, it was probably because she didn't want others to find out her identity. "
Hui Mo's hands carefully touched the burnt flesh, "Judging from the growth of the left palm, the phalanges, the wrist bones, the radius and the ulna bones, he should be around eighteen or nineteen years old, no more than twenty years old. His body is well-proportioned, there are calluses on his fingers, but there are no calluses on his palms. I need to clean up the remaining flesh on my face and remodel it with clay. I should be able to recover about seventy to eighty percent of it. "
Ning Shu: "If there are no calluses on the palms, it means that they don't usually do heavy work. But if there are calluses on the fingertips, it's a characteristic of people who play the zither."
She raises her head and looks from the high beam above her head to the broken half of the wall opposite the door. There used to be countless rare treasures here. They were either destroyed in the fire many years ago or stolen by the people who broke in later. Now the walls here are empty except for the grayish yellow wall in the south. The mural of immortals descending to the earth with stars in their hands is broken and withered. Only half of the wall is left, which is particularly desolate.
After looking at it, she goes back to Hui Mo and squats down, "Please open her throat and check if there are any calluses or polyps on her vocal cords."
