There is a difference between men and women, which is why he has not examined the deceased's lower body.

Although both had already guessed that the deceased was likely to have been abused, in order to avoid suspicion, they stopped the autopsy and waited for Wen Po to come.

There were usually no female servants in the yamen, and the corpses were examined by men, both male and female.

But when it comes to cases of abusing women, the yamen usually asks Wen Po to come and help with the examination.

The mother of the deceased and other blood relatives must be examined together for the examination.

During the examination, the woman had to cut off her nails, tie her fingers with cotton wool, and put her fingers into her pussy.

Because after Tao Zhaoxue's death, there were signs of falling into the water, and the blood on her body was washed away by the water, and the two could not be sure whether she was humiliated before she died, so they had to wait for the experienced Wen Po to come to test.

What's more, the two guessed that the foreign body in the deceased's abdomen entered the lower abdomen from his pussy and involved the female private parts, so the two could not easily inspect it.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, Wen Po finally came, and at the same time, Mrs. Tao, who went to the county government to complain, also came to Shilipo.

After Kang Xu briefly explained the situation to them, he let Tao Youran and Mrs. Tao, together with Wen Po, enter the grass shed together.

When the Dow couple saw the shocking scars on their daughter's body, their hearts ached inexplicably, and they hugged their heads and cried.

"Daughter, what kind of beast who has been stabbed with a thousand knives has done this to you! Oh my daughter! Mrs. Tao cried so loudly that she almost lost her breath several times.

Tao Youran's eyes were bloodshot, his chest rose and fell violently, and his whole body kept shaking. He roared in a low voice, "Master Li, you called us in." Is it just to let us see the tragic death of the little girl? You have been examining this for a long time, but what about the murderer? Who exactly is the murderer? The old man wants to break his body into ten thousand pieces. Avenge the little girl! ”

"Tao Gong, don't get excited, I will definitely find out the murderer. The reason why this official asked you to come is to explain to you the real cause of Ling Yuan's death. Kang Xu didn't care about his rudeness, but said very politely.

"The cause of death? What was the cause of my daughter's death? Say it! Tao Youran's eyes widened angrily and roared angrily.

Kang Xu said a few words to Wen Po, who immediately nodded, walked to the corpse and squatted down.

After a while, Wen Po said, "My lord." This young lady was indeed insulted, and there was a lot of blood in her womb, and the humiliation was very serious. ”

When Tao Youran and his wife heard this, their bodies shook involuntarily a few times, and they almost fainted.

Kang Xu nodded and motioned for Wen Po to continue.

Wen Po rolled down her sleeves and reached into the deceased's lower body and groped for it.

Suddenly, Wen Po seemed to have touched something, and her face instantly became terrified.

"Big ...... My lord. The old body touched the ...... of the foreign object. Wen Po said tremblingly, and suddenly from the bottom of the deceased, her right hand took out a slender sharp knife!

The sharp knife was seven inches long and about two fingers wide. It was coated with plasma.

Everyone was taken aback, and Mrs. Tao screamed when she saw that the sharp knife had been taken out of her daughter's body. Passed out directly.

Kang Xu and Xiao Wu gasped, and they looked at the sharp knife. At the same time, there was a shudder.

Although the two guessed that there was a foreign body hidden in the deceased's body, they could not imagine it anyway. It turned out to be a sharp knife!

Tao Youran let out a violent gasping sound, he trembled violently, two lines of old tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, he was so angry that he opened his mouth and spewed out a blood mist.

"Big ...... People, little girls, died so miserably! Tao leisurely coughed up blood and said miserably.

Kang Xu sighed, knowing that this blow was too heavy for the Tao family, and it was already very cruel for this white-haired person to send a black-haired person, not to mention that he also learned the truth about his daughter's tragic death.

When ordinary people encounter such things, they have long passed out, but Tao Youran can still persevere, and the strength of his heart can be seen.

"Gong Tao, in the case of Ling Yuan's murder, this official will definitely find out the murderer and give Miss Tao justice." Kang Xu solemnly assured.

"In this way, there will be Master Lao." Tao Youran instantly aged a lot, he helped up the fainting lady, and said weakly: "Old man, take the lady back to prepare for the little girl's funeral first, and say goodbye first." ”

Kang Xu nodded, and after sending Tao leisurely away, he ordered someone to put the body in the funeral, and then take it back to Yizhuang for storage.

"Brother Kang, this case is a little tricky!" Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Wu frowned and said.

"The murderer's methods of killing are extremely cruel, and there are few clues to look for, which is indeed a bit tricky." Kang Xu rubbed his eyebrows slightly, he looked at the surroundings, and suddenly said, "Chang Feng, who found the corpse first?" ”

Chang Feng was leading people to decorate the corpse, and when he heard Kang Xu's words, he hurriedly walked over and said, "The first person to find the corpse was a shepherd boy. ”

"Where is the shepherd boy now?" Hearing this, Kang Xu pondered for a moment and asked.

"He's in our custody." As he spoke, Chang Feng shouted to several officials not far away: "Bring that shepherd boy here, and the adults will ask him for questioning!" ”

When the two officials heard this, they hurriedly walked over with a shepherd boy.

When the shepherd boy saw Kang Xu in official uniform, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"What's your name?" Kang Xu asked gently.

"Dog...... Dog eggs. The shepherd boy replied timidly.

"Dog, don't be afraid, let me ask you, did you find that sister lying on the ground first?" Kang Xu pointed to the body of Tao Zhaoxue, who was being buried in the car, and asked.

The shepherd boy nodded timidly and said, "I...... I was herding cattle here, and then I saw my sister lying in the water, and I pulled her out of the water. ”

"You mean, you found that sister in the water? Can you tell me exactly where? Kang Xu said in surprise.

The shepherd boy pointed to the surface of the water and said, "That's where the algae is." ”

Kang Xu looked up at the surface of the river, and on the water surface about three feet away from the river bank, there were dense duckweed algae, and there was an obvious trace of being dragged among the algae, which seemed to be true to what the shepherd boy said.

"Chang Feng, you go down there and have a look." Kang Xu pondered for a while, and then said to Chang Fengdao.

Chang Feng heard this, without any hesitation, and walked directly into the water.

Kang Xu really saw that the algae area, the water depth was about the height of Chang Feng's chest, and the algae grew very luxuriantly, blocking some debris floating down from the upstream.

After a while, Chang Feng came up from the water, he twisted the water on his clothes, and said, "My lord, I have taken a look, the water level there is shallow, but there is an undercurrent surging from upstream, I think the body must have been brought here from the upstream." ”

"Upstream?" Kang Xu pondered for a moment and asked, "Send someone along the river bank and upstream to find out if you can find a clue." ”

Chang Feng nodded, and then led a group of officials along the river and walked upstream.

Although Tao Youran and his wife left, they left a family here.

Kang Xu looked at the family and then asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Back to the eldest master, the little one's name is Zhang Jia." The family replied honestly.

"Zhang Jia, have you been to any suspicious places these days?" Kang Xu asked.

"Back to my lord, our young lady has always been in the room, rarely goes out, and I haven't seen her go to a suspicious place recently." Zhang Jia replied honestly.

Kang Xu clasped his hands in front of his chest and said in a deep voice: "Then when did your young lady disappear?" ”

"Early yesterday morning, when Miss's personal maid went to call Miss to get up, she found out that Miss had disappeared." Zhang Jia recalled.

Kang Xu's brows furrowed, and he then asked, "Before that, when was the last time you saw her?" ”

Zhang Jia scratched his head and said: "After discovering that Miss was missing, the master asked Miss about her personal maid, according to Dongmei, after dinner the day before yesterday, she also saw Miss, but after a night, Miss disappeared." ”

"Since your young lady has been missing for more than a day, why don't you report it to the official?" Kang Xu asked.

Zhang Jia spread his hands helplessly and said: "My lord, this is all an order from our master, he doesn't let us publicize this matter, let alone report to the official, and we have no choice but to look for it in private." We searched all over Zhengyang City, but we didn't find the whereabouts of the young lady, so we ran outside the city to try our luck, but we didn't expect to find the body of the young lady here. ”

A sadness appeared on Zhang Jia's face, and he sighed: "Poor my young lady is in the prime of her life, but she was killed, my lord, you must find the murderer and avenge my young lady!" ”

"How is your young lady?" Kang Xu nodded and asked.

"My young lady is gentle and virtuous, kind and dignified, extremely filial to the old lady, even to our subordinates." Zhang Jia said with a sad face.

"In that case, your young lady is missing, why didn't your lord let the official report it?" Kang Xu asked, touching his chin.

Zhang Jia let out a long sigh and said hesitantly: "Master, you don't know something. Miss She ...... She has been in some trouble with her master recently. ”

"What contradiction?" Kang Xuqi said.

"Our young lady has a fiancé who is married to her fingertips, and she came to Zhengyang some time ago to find her husband to propose marriage. The old man kept him for a few days, but the old man disliked him for being poor, and after letting him live for a few days, he drove him out of Tao's house. Speaking of this, Zhang Jia let out a long sigh and said, "However, the master didn't expect that the young lady would fall in love with that poor scholar, and she had to marry him." The lord did not agree, so he locked the young lady in the boudoir in a fit of anger. After the disappearance of the young lady, the old man thought that the young lady must have gone to find the poor scholar, and in order to prevent such ugly things from spreading, the old man concealed the disappearance of the young lady. ”

"Poor scholar?" Kang Xu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and he suddenly remembered that when he was in the county office, Mrs. Tao said that he was a murderer, so he said: "That scholar is surnamed Zhang, his name is Zhang Hebi?" ”

Zhang Jia was surprised, he said in surprise: "Exactly, he is Zhang Hebi, how did the eldest master know?" ”

Kang Xu knew in his heart, no wonder Mrs. Tao was so angry when she saw Zhang Hebi, and she even identified him as a murderer without thinking about it.

However, recalling Zhang Hebi's expression at that time, he didn't seem to be lying. (To be continued.) )
