Chapter 782: Living People in the Charity House
Jiang Youzhen was prepared, so he wasn't shocked.
After lifting up all the white cloth, Jiang Youzhen's eyes fell on the neck of the corpse.
It was a long, thin cut that was obviously very deep, cutting off most of the neck, leaving only a small part attached.
Hiss~ How fast must this person's weapon be to be able to cut the cervical vertebrae so neatly?
Jiang Youzhen took another look, lifted up all the clothes, and found no other wounds on the body. The abdominal cavity had been opened and sutured again, so the coroner must have performed an autopsy.
Judging from the skin color, there was no sign of poisoning. She frowned, but unfortunately she couldn't see the autopsy results now.
After observing carefully for a moment, he found nothing unusual, so he turned to look at the other corpse.
It says that it is Xu Zhanrong's concubine? Why did Xu Zhanrong bring his concubine with him when he went on a secret visit? This doesn't make sense, does it?
Jiang Youzhen was puzzled and lifted the white cloth to take a look.
The female corpse had a good appearance and looked very young, no older than 20 years old. Judging from her attire when she was alive, she must have lived a life of luxury.
Her fingers were as green as green onions, and her clothes were made of good material. Suddenly Jiang Youzhen's eyes fell on the other person's bun. She looked pampered, but she only had a wooden hairpin?
Was it looted by dishonest guards, or was it used as evidence of a death?
Her wound was in her chest, pierced by a sword. Unlike Xu Zhanrong, she was probably stabbed by a long sword, the kind with a blood groove in the middle of the blade.
Two weapons? That means it can't be one person.
Jiang Youzhen remembered that he said that no one in the family was left alive, so there should be bodies of other servants here.
Sure enough, Jiang Youzhen saw Xu family's servants not far away. There were only five of them. They were temporarily renting a residential compound, so it was impossible for them to bring so many servants.
But since Xu Zhanrong was going to go on a secret visit, why did he bring so many servants? Shouldn't he bring all the guards?
After checking them one by one, two of them had calluses on their palms, so they must be the guards. These two were also killed by a sword, but judging from the location of the wounds, they must be the same person who killed the concubine.
They were guards after all, but they didn't even have the strength to fight back? Were they controlled at that time?
As for the other three people, one was a maid and the other two were probably servants. These three were killed with two kinds of weapons.
The old woman's wound looked like a knife wound, and the other two had no obvious wounds, but there were bruises on their chests, and judging from the shape, they must have been kicked.
Perhaps the force was too great, and the two men's internal organs were ruptured. But these two men were not weak, so how could they be so vulnerable?
By this calculation, there were three or more assassins on the day of the assassination.
After covering everything with the white cloth, Jiang Youzhen was about to leave when he heard footsteps outside the door.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, and still close to the window, Jiang Youzhen quickly put the two people on the ground into the storage space.
Fortunately, the storage space is now large enough to hold living things, but the disappearance of these two people will definitely arouse suspicion.
Didn't he say he was resting? Why did he come again? She had just inquired and found that the only living people in the charity cemetery besides her were the master and apprentice who were guarding the cemetery and the two guards.
"Where are the people? Didn't you say there were two guarding them? Why is there no one?" one of them asked in a low voice.
"Huh? They were here just now? Did they go somewhere to slack off? They usually hide somewhere else to drink. Anyway, this is a charity cemetery, and usually no one comes here."
This was the voice of the guard. Jiang Youzhen could recognize it easily because the man's voice was very hoarse, like a broken gong.
What's going on? Are they here for Xu Zhanrong's body as well?
"You'd better tell the truth!" The candlelight illuminated the room, and Jiang Youzhen discovered that there seemed to be more than two people outside the door.
"Go in first and see if there's an ambush!"
Soon the door was opened and people inside and outside were on guard. Jiang Youzhen discovered that there were two men in black standing outside, holding a man in his fifties hostage.
This man is thin and has a frightened look on his face. He should be the one who guards the Yizhuang.
Jiang Youzhen hid behind a black sail, and when she saw the two men's eyes were about to turn towards her, she quickly hid in the storage space.
She is also a living being, but before the upgrade, the owner of the space was not allowed to enter with her body, but this is not a problem now.
As soon as she entered the space, she saw that the space in front of her looked like a large square, but it was foggy not far away. There was only one place where she could see the supplies she had placed before, and the two guards were lying there quietly.
In the space, she could still hear the conversations outside.
"Indeed, no one!"
"Where are the bodies of Xu Zhanrong and that woman?"
Jiang Youzhen immediately became interested. For so many days, those people hadn't made a move. She had already arrived in Lin'an Prefecture. What was the purpose of these people coming again?
"It's at the corner over there." The old man guarding the village said tremblingly.
Jiang Youzhen was concentrating, wanting to know what was going on outside. Suddenly, it was as if a screen had opened in front of her eyes, allowing her to see the scene outside clearly.
I was delighted, it seems that the storage space has a great function. Maybe there will be more surprises after the system is upgraded.
"When it was delivered, were there any items?"
"No!" The manor guard shook his head. Seeing the two men in black looking at him unkindly, he immediately said, "Really, there is nothing. Even if there is something, it should have been registered with the government."
One of them continued to hold the man guarding the village hostage, while the other began to caress Su Zhanrong and the woman.
Jiang Youzhen suddenly had an idea. What on earth were they looking for?
When they heard that the items were in the government office, they still wanted to search me. Does that mean they had already searched the government office? Or do they know everything that was registered with the government office?
The man searched for a long time, even searching in his hair, but still found nothing.
He took the wooden hairpin in his hand and looked at it. Not finding anything unusual, he put it back on the woman's head.
"Search again! Search those five men too!" the man in black who was holding the man guarding the farm hostage ordered again.
The man searched the other five people as well, and finally shook his head, "Still nothing."
"It must still be in the house. Let's go back and search." The two still did not give up and decided to go back and turn the place upside down when the time comes.
"Then what should we do with him?" The man who was searching pointed at the man guarding the farm, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"Please spare my life! I am just a village guard and I don't want to get involved. As long as you don't kill me, I won't tell anyone.
Just spare my life. If the news leaks out in the future, you can kill me later! Besides, if I die now, the government will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
"Boss, what he said makes sense."
"Humph! Then we'll let you go. If you dare to tell anyone, even a single word, it will be easy for us to kill you."
Perhaps considering the final trouble, they let the guard go.
After the people left, the man guarding the village collapsed to the ground, shaking with fear.
This saved his life, fortunately he was able to think of a clever idea in a hurry.
Suddenly, something cold pressed against my neck, "Don't move!"
