It's night, and a bright moon illuminates the sky and earth like a silver plate.
Chunlan's body is parked in a small house in Zhu's Mansion.
Although Chunlan's body had been covered with flowers and she had put on her best clothes, her face that was burned beyond recognition still made people feel horrified.
There was a dim candlelight in the mourning hall, and a servant was standing there, but he was far away from sleep.
At this time, the boy didn't know that on the opposite eaves, a man in black was walking quickly on the eaves.
When the man in black saw the situation at his feet, he was just a servant, so he no longer felt too cautious. He just couldn't help but move closer to the boy.
Then he just pointed a pebble directly at the boy's sleeping hole.
After being tapped on the sleeping hole, the young boy was just shaky at first, but now he is completely unconscious.
Seeing the boy completely fall to the ground, Wu Chengwei appeared from behind the boy in front of Chunlan.
Before checking, he only took a look at the situation outside the house. After making sure that no one was coming, Wu Chengwei also began to check Chunlan's body.
The first step he made to check was to open Chunlan's lips.
After doing part of the examination, he soon discovered that although Chunlan was completely unrecognizable, there was not much dust in her closed mouth. From this point, it can be concluded that Chunlan was probably burned to death before she was burned to death. It was dealt with by other means.
After all, when people are in a fire scene, they will most likely start to breathe heavily out of survival instinct. If they breathe hard, they will inevitably inhale the dust in the fire scene into their mouth. However, after checking Chunlan's mouth, he found nothing Any foreign objects.
So from this point of view, he could basically judge that Chunlan did die before setting the fire.
After killing Chunlan, the murderer then set the fire on the house. It was obvious that he wanted to cover up his method of killing Chunlan.
But unfortunately he made the wrong calculation.
Every road in this world is marked by traces.
His crude methods were actually not enough in front of a guard who was quite experienced in examining corpses.
After completing this step of examination, and after confirming that Chunlan had indeed died of suffocation before arson, Wu Chengwei could not help but begin to conduct further examination of Chunlan's body.
It was a pity that although Chunlan's body was not burned dry, most of her face was burned black. Therefore, he could not roughly judge the cause of death from the facial skin, so he could only use the elimination method.
The most common method of killing is to use poison, and this is also the stupidest method. If poison is used, even if the corpse is burned to ashes, it can actually be detected, not to mention that it is still a complete corpse.
Thinking of this, he immediately started testing the corpse with a poison-detecting silver needle.
However, no matter how many types of silver needles he changed, the test results of the silver needles were always non-toxic.
On the contrary, it was Chunlan's hands that attracted his attention. The bones and joints of Chunlan's hands were in a deeply curled posture, as if a person had tightly clenched his own hands before death.
This gesture can actually be used to judge a certain way of death during life.
She could have been burned to death. After all, people will only show varying degrees of muscle tension when they are nervous or under certain extreme conditions, and the posture of clenching the hands is the most intuitive expression.
It's just that he had already ruled out being burned to death just now. After all, the cleanliness of the mouth can rule out a certain way of death more accurately than looking at the curling of the hands.
And ruling out the possibility of being burned to death, and ruling out the possibility of using poison, then Chunlan should have been eliminated by someone using some physical method.
Obviously Chunlan's body can directly assume a certain state.
Wu Chengwei only briefly checked Chunlan's superficial skin, and after confirming that Chunlan had not suffered a deeper blow, he immediately confirmed that Chunlan should not have died from being beaten.
Among these common killing methods, the only one left is suffocation.
And her curled hands are also very similar to the state of death from suffocation.
In addition to being burned to death, there are other methods of suffocation death, such as being covered by someone's mouth and nose, or being strangled to death?
Examining these ways of death requires more detailed inspection.
Even if Chunlan's body was more completely destroyed, he could hardly determine how Chunlan died.
But fortunately, Chunlan's body was still intact, so he could conduct another inspection based on this body.
At that moment, he just opened Chunlan's eyelids first, and then he immediately saw many red dots inside Chunlan's eyelids, and her eyes were bulging ferociously. This state almost confirmed that Chunlan was Completely strangled to death.
Unfortunately, the skin on Chunlan's neck had been burnt black, so he could not clearly see the bruises on Chunlan's neck from being pinched. However, with these two points, he could only confirm that Chunlan was pinched. dead.
Next, with the autopsy results, he needed to rule out the person who killed Chunlan.
And when he had just made such a plan and was about to leave, unexpectedly there was a sound of rubbing skirts and stockings outside.
Hearing this sound, I thought someone was coming this way.
Wu Chengwei immediately left here.
Not long after Wu Chengwei left, a maid appeared in front of the mourning hall carrying a basket.
When she saw the sleeping boy, she ignored him.
Even at the moment, she seemed a little afraid of waking the other person up.
After making sure that the boy didn't wake up.
She just placed the tribute directly in front of Chunlan's body, and then she just burned some more paper money into the pot of burning paper money.
After burning the paper money, she just stared at Chunlan's body in confusion.
After a long time, she spoke and whispered to the body of the dead Chunlan, "Miss Chunlan, don't blame me for not helping me. I can't help it. After all, I'm just a slave. I can't help you. If you If you have any resentment, don't come to me. If you don't hate it, just go and I will burn incense for you every year."
After the words fell, the maid only shed a few more sad tears. At the moment, she was just crying while burning money paper for Chunlan.
However, when she was burning the paper, there was only a woman and a maid not far away, holding lights and walking over.
If you look carefully, you can find that the woman is Shen Fanghui who said she wanted to avenge Chunlan.
Just when they were about to arrive at the mourning hall, Shen Fanghui felt that there was a woman burning paper money in the mourning hall. She felt strange, so she couldn't help but ask the woman, "Who is that person inside?"
However, the maid who was burning the money paper felt a great fear.
Then, almost as soon as Shen Fanghui finished speaking, the maid almost didn't even turn her head. She stood up immediately, and she subconsciously ran towards the depths of the mourning hall.
She even accidentally kicked over the pot of burning paper money in the mourning hall because she was in such a hurry. In an instant her embroidered shoes were only covered with dust.
But even so, she couldn't care less.
At the moment, she was just running wildly, and seeing that she was about to run deeper, Shen Fanghui felt something was wrong.
If she had seen someone late at night before, Shen Fanghui might not have been overly concerned. She would have just thought that the person might be Chunlan's good sister.
However, this good sister ran away as soon as she saw him, which made the atmosphere a bit strange.
Therefore, she immediately felt something was wrong, and she immediately followed him in.
However, when she entered, the maid was gone. She chased her all the way but saw only a broken window and a dangling bamboo curtain.
And when she lifts
When she opened the bamboo curtain, she could only see a maid in a white maid costume running wildly under the moonlight. In just a moment, the maid's figure disappeared deep into the bamboo forest.
At this time, the maid behind Shen Fanghui also caught up with her.
She immediately took the initiative to look at the bamboo forest. When she saw the white dress disappearing in the direction of the bamboo forest, she immediately said to Shen Fanghui, "Miss Lu, do you want me to go up and chase her?"
After hearing the maid's question, Shen Fanghui shook her head.
"No need."
Then Shen Fanghui just asked the maid, "Did you see that woman clearly just now?"
Facing Shen Fanghui's question, the maid just shook her head.
Shen Fanghui thought that the woman didn't look back, so it was normal that she didn't recognize her.
So she just changed the topic again.
"Then do you know where the bamboo forest leads from here?"
After hearing Shen Fanghui's question, the maid only thought for a moment, and then she quickly came up with the result.
"You can go all the way to the main kitchen at the back from here. Is that woman the cook over there?" the maid speculated self-righteously at the moment.
Shen Fanghui heard this and did not answer. She just said, "Then does he have a path to other places?"
Upon hearing this, the maid immediately replied, "Other paths are blocked by walls. The only place she can go is the kitchen!"
Shen Fanghui couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was heading towards the kitchen.
She then immediately asked, "Is there a shortcut in the direction of the kitchen?"
After hearing Shen Fanghui's question, the maid only thought for a moment, and then she quickly came to a conclusion.
"I know a shortcut!"
Hearing the maid's answer, Shen Fanghui immediately said, "Take me to the shortcut quickly! Let's see if we can intercept him!"
Hearing Shen Fanghui's words, the maid immediately nodded, and then the two of them immediately climbed out of the window one after another.
The maid then took Shen Fanghui and hurriedly chased him down another trail.
