In the Yamen of Yingtianfu, Tian Ke happened to be there, and Lan Yinger walked up to Tian Ke holding the wooden box containing the beads.

"Tian Tuotou, are Ying Shuqiong's prayer beads in this wooden box?"

Tian Ke glanced at the blood-stained Buddhist beads in the wooden box, and nodded: "They are all there, I have searched carefully, there will be no difference."

Lan Ying'er didn't have much to say and found two more disciples to keep, she just said: "Ying Shuqiong's Buddhist beads were torn off when she was struggling, which means that the Buddhist beads should all be in the room, but some beads are missing inside."

Tian Ke lowered his eyebrows: "There is such a thing? When I searched for physical evidence, I only thought about clearing out the scattered physical evidence in the house, but I didn't pay attention to the number of Buddhist beads."

Lan Ying'er pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to go to Yizhuang for a new autopsy."

"Okay, let's go together."

Wen Chen's voice came head-on, Lan Ying'er was overjoyed, she looked away, and saw Wen Chen coming down the steps of the front hall with a linen bookbag in his hand.

Lan Yinger greeted him and asked, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

There are several counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtian Mansion, she only thought that Wen Chen had gone to the county government office, but she didn't expect that he was in the government office.

Wen Chen shined the case file in her hand under her nose, and said: "There is a flower-picking robbery case that has been backlogged for more than two years. I don't know if it is a harvest." He took the wooden box in her hand, and handed the case file to her. give her.

Lan Ying'er unwrapped the tight string of the cloth bag, and pulled out the file from inside. Seeing that there were several pages inside, she unfolded it, read the first page first, and frowned slightly after reading a few lines: " Two years ago, the murderer raped and murdered eight people in the capital within one year, this flower picker is too vicious and rampant! But the murderer committed crimes through broken windows, obviously not familiar with the victims."

Wen Chen: "Go down and read the autopsy records."

Lan Yinger flipped through the eight pages of autopsy records below. She flipped through the pages one by one, and said in shock after reading: "The murderer stuffed foreign objects into the body of the deceased five times."

Wen Chen nodded: "The last autopsy, we only opened the abdominal cavity."

Lan Yinger thought to herself that when Wen Chen asked her to check whether there was any foreign object in the vagina/vulva of the corpse, she only pulled out her eyes lightly, so she put away the case file: "Let's go to Yizhuang!"

Wen Chen and Lan Ying'er left the government office together, got into the carriage together, Ah Liu drove the horse.

Tian Ke also rode along with two captors to follow.

When Ying Shuqiong's body was brought to Yizhuang, Song Xueshi came forward and asked the prefect Zhang to place the body in the inner room of Yizhuang alone. In order to prevent others from humiliating the corpse, Song Xueshi also sent two servants to guard the body in Yizhuang. , In addition, I went to the Royal Ice Cellar to ask for some ice to preserve the body.

According to Xueshi Song, Ying Shuqiong, as his former fiancée, could be regarded as doing her last bit for her!

It was early summer, and the weather was getting hotter. Fortunately, there was ice to preserve the body, otherwise today's autopsy would be extremely uncomfortable.

In the morgue inside, Wen Chen turned his back, and he handed over the task of autopsy to Lan Yinger.

Lan Ying'er put on gut gloves, covered her mouth and nose tightly with a cloth towel, and placed a piece of fresh ginger in front of her nose.

"Let's start! From top to bottom, the seven orifices start." Wen Chen turned his back and said.

Lan Ying'er lifted the white scarf, and carefully cut open the seven orifices with the autopsy knife. She tried to make the incision as small as possible, so that the corpse could be as complete as possible.

As a result, there were no seven orifices.

Further down, the corpse's chest was bloody and bloody, Lan Ying'er gritted her teeth and searched for the incision on the chest, and finally found nine rosary beads and one chaplain in the flesh and blood on the breasts.

The abdominal cavity has been opened before, so there is no need to open it again. Then there is no wound in the armpit, and it can only be the perineum.

The previous autopsy did not find any foreign objects inside. If we want to check now, we have to search carefully in some places inside.

After making a small cut and examining it carefully, she was startled, all the rest were stuffed in by the murderer, not only that, there were extra.

After the corpse examination, Lan Yinger looked at the bloody beads in the wooden tray, her heart was choked up, her throat was choked, she was really uncomfortable, she threw the autopsy knife into the wooden tray, and turned her back Raising his arms, he wiped away the tears that could not be held back.

Is there anyone in this world more pitiful than Ying Shuqiong?There must be, but to her, Ying Shuqiong is the most pitiful woman she has ever seen.

I didn't enter the Jiaofang Division when I was a girl, and my body was trampled on every day and every night. At the age of 26, I thought I could escape the sea of ​​suffering, but I didn't expect to die unexpectedly. Insert foreign objects.

The murderer's behavior was simply outrageously cruel.

Wen Chen looked at her silently, feeling sorry for her, but could not comfort her.

After feeling sad for a while, Lan Ying'er turned around and sewed up the place where the corpse should be stitched, and then covered it with a white cloth.

When Wen Chen stepped forward to hold the wooden tray containing the beads, he said in a deep voice: "She is not wrong, what is wrong is only this world."

This she, of course, was Ying Shuqiong.

There was a piece of soap in the autopsy tool that Wen Chen brought. After he handed the wooden tray to Ah Liu, he picked up the soap and helped Lan Yinger wash her hands by the well in the yard.

Seeing so many big men in the courtyard, Lan Yinger was embarrassed to ask Wen Chen to help her wash, but Wen Chen didn't hesitate, just grabbed her hand and scrubbed her carefully.

Everyone in the courtyard knew about their relationship, but they couldn't help but become curious when they saw the usually indifferent Wen Chen showing such warmth, and they all stared.

After Lan Yinger's hands were washed, Ah Liu also put the Buddhist beads taken out of the corpse into the previous wooden box.

Wen Chen walked up to Ah Liu, glanced at Tian Ke, and said, "You and Tian Butou go to the homes of the victims of the flower-picking robbery case and see if there are any new clues."

Ah Liu and Tian Ke agreed to leave on horseback.

Wen Chen personally drove the carriage, and took Lan Ying'er to Biyun nunnery again.

In Biyun Nunnery, Wen Chen washed the Buddhist beads in the wooden box, and then took out a Western magnifying glass to let Master Wuzhi identify the ten extra Buddhist beads. These ten beads are exactly the same size and color. Two of them were left by the disciples, which Lan Yinger had found under the bed in the room earlier.

Master Wuzhi pointed to the ten beads and said, "No, these beads are definitely not from this nunnery."

Lan Ying'er said: "Master, earlier you said that every time those people came to find Chen, if they couldn't be driven away, they would go to Xifeng Temple to ask the abbot of the temple to help?"

Master Wuzhi frowned and nodded: "Yes, every time the poor nun can't drive away those disciples, he will let Li Yuan go to Xifeng Temple to ask Master Suchi to help."

Wen Chen asked, "How many people usually come to Xifeng Temple?"

Master Wuzhi said: "Generally, Master Suchi brings his chief disciple Qingzheng over here. They are highly skilled in martial arts and don't need too many people."

Lan Ying'er asked Yuan to distinguish the beads again, Yuan Yuan took a closer look and shook his head: "Too many people use this kind of beads."

"But this prayer bead is obviously old."

Liao Yuan still shook his head: "Although the poor nuns often go to ask Master Suchi to help, they have never paid attention to the beads they wear."

There is a difference between men and women, especially nuns and monks, and they dare not take a second look at them. Lan Yinger can imagine this.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask in Biyun Nunnery, Wen Chen said, "Let's go to Xifeng Temple."

Xifeng Temple is not too far from here, but it's time for a stick of incense.

Unfortunately, Master Suchi was not there.

Xifeng Temple is a royal temple. The presiding Master Wujue who passed away ten years ago was the benefactor of the Tai/Zu Emperor, and the current presiding Master Suchi is the great disciple of Master Wujue.The temple is protected by the royal family, and the incense is very strong.

Moreover, Master Suchi, the abbot of Xifeng Temple, has high martial arts skills. The disciples in the temple practice martial arts every day, and they are never afraid of officials and family members.

It happened that Qingzheng was Suchi's chief disciple, so Wen Chen found Qingzheng and asked, "Where did Master Suchi go?"

Master Qingzheng is in his 20s, of medium height and ordinary appearance.He stood up with one hand, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging in his palm, and said: "The noble concubine in the palace is ill, and was invited by the emperor to pray for the noble concubine."

Wen Chen stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and there were a few rosary beads in his palm: "Excuse me, Master Qingzheng, have you seen these rosary beads?"

Qingzheng raised his hand and pinched a rosary bead in Wen Chen's palm to take a closer look. After looking at it for a long time, he shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."

Wen Chen glanced at Lan Yinger, Lan Yinger gave her a look, and Wen Chen said goodbye to Qing Zheng.

On the steps leaving Xifeng Temple, Wen Chen asked: "Do you think Qingzheng's expression is strange?"

Lan Ying'er nodded: "Yes, when he was looking at that Buddhist bead, his eyes sank for a moment, but he let go after a while, and told you he hadn't seen it."

Wen Chen glanced at the sky and said, "Go back to Jinyiwei first."

Xifeng Temple is on the mountain, although the mountain is not high, but the carriage cannot go up, the two of them walked along the steps for half an hour before reaching the bottom of the mountain.

The carriage was stored in a guesthouse at the foot of the mountain. Wen Chen and Lan Yinger took the carriage after having dinner in the guesthouse, and took Lan Yinger slowly to the street.

It was now dark and the streets were silent.

Lan Ying'er was sitting alone in the carriage, dozing off with her eyes closed, when suddenly the horse groaned, and the carriage stopped abruptly, causing a heavy vibration in the carriage, shaking her so that her center of gravity was unsteady, and her whole body was on the back of the carriage. board.

Before she could react, she saw several footsteps coming from outside quickly, and she heard the sound of Wen Chen's Xiuchun knife being unsheathed, followed by clang clang clang... the sound of fighting between weapons.

She was about to lift the curtain to come out, but Wen Chen yelled: "Don't come out." She quickly retreated into the carriage.

Obviously, there were many people outside, and Wen Chen was protecting her with all his might.

There was a lot of screams outside, it seemed that Wen Chen blocked many people, but suddenly, the horse let out a scream, and Lan Ying'er felt that the carriage was running fast.

Lan Yinger understood that the horse was frightened by the injury, and there was no one to handle the horse, so she had to venture out of the carriage, but just barely sat down, she saw Wen Chen jumped off the roof of the carriage, and he tried to pull the horse, But the horse could no longer be controlled, and Xuanwu Lake was a few miles ahead. In desperation, Wen Chen had no choice but to tighten her waist and lead her to jump out of the carriage.

The black-clothed assassins who rode their horses from behind rushed over, and they were surrounded by a dozen strong horses on the remote and uninhabited path.
