Pieces of bones, the largest of which were only the size of the knuckles of the little finger, were pulled out. Not many.
Di Ying thought for a while and asked Xie Jing to find several sieves of different thicknesses.
Then sift the dust.
This method was really fast, and many small bones were sifted out.
Another thing that was screened out was an ear bell.
An earring burned black.
Xie Jing didn't recognize it and asked curiously: "Sir, what is this? It looks like... pearls? And these small bones, what are they? Fish bones?"
Di Ying: "...What kind of fish bones have you seen? They are big and small, thick and thin, and have some twists and turns?"
Xie Jing thought for a while.
She blinked her peach blossom eyes and said, "Sea beast?"
Di Ying: "...You are right."
Xie Jing smiled and rolled her eyes, "Sir, just tell me."
Di Ying nodded. First, he picked up a small bone and said, "If I read correctly, these are all human bones. And this piece is the remnant of the small tip of the human elbow."
Xie Jingyi covered his eyes: "...I guessed...that what interests you, sir, must be bones and the like."
Peng Liang nodded in agreement.
Zhou Lin's deer eyes suddenly flashed.
This time, the adults only took the three of them. The rest of the guards follow the old rules: stand by after falling.
Di Ying is planning a sea ship. This cannot be known to too many people.
"My lord, what is this black lump? This man's bones have been burned like this. How he died must not be known, right?" Curious Xie Baobao continued to ask.
Di Ying smiled and handed the earring to Xie Jing, "Put it away. This is the earring. At present, there is a high probability that the deceased is a woman, perhaps a lady from a wealthy family."
Xie Baobao: "??? Sir, who has bells on their ears? They are not cows and horses. Madam? They are afraid of stepping on ants when they walk. Is it because they are afraid of bumping into people, so they wear ear bells to remind others?
I know that the avoidance bell hung on the carriage is used as a reminder if you are traveling at night and are afraid of hitting someone in the dark. Then the function of ear bells is the same, right? "
Di Ying: "...bad, almost?"
After thinking for a while, he explained in detail: "In the past, men and women were very guarded. Women were not allowed to have contact with foreign men easily. Especially in wealthy families, even uncles, father-in-law, men over seven years old, It’s also not easy to see.”
Xie Jing understood. "Oh, I understand. When your lady arrives, her earbells ring. When the other men hear the sound, they get out of the way to avoid embarrassment, misunderstanding, or unnecessary trouble, right?"
"Um."
Di Ying nodded, then smiled and said: "It seems that your lady shook her head when it was inconvenient to reply.
For example: when other men knock on the door to find their husband-in-law, if the husband-in-law is not there, the lady will shake her head and ring a bell to signal. The man will walk away.
In fact, I was thinking: If they are so rigorous, then... can those men still knock on people's doors casually?
Those with courtyards and servants... those without courtyards are no longer noble. "
Speaking of this, Di Ying paused for a moment, then frowned and thought, then smiled and said: "Maybe I thought wrong. If it was between ordinary civilians, they would be able to knock on the courtyard door. The lady inside You can also shake your head to signal. People outside the hospital will leave when they hear the bell.
so……"
He took the earring from Xie Jing's hand and said: "It seems that she is not a very expensive woman. Gold or silver, at such a high temperature that can burn human bones, will not be completely melted, at least It will also deform. It will never be so complete.
Then this should be made of iron. Nowadays, very few people pay attention to wearing earrings. The age of the deceased... we will wait until a detailed bone examination is completed. "
Now, all that is found are some broken bones and an earring. It is really difficult to tell the specifics.
Di Ying looked around.
At the same time, Peng Liang and the others were asked to look around.
The person who burned the corpse did not remove the earrings of the deceased, so where was the other earring? Could it be that you haven’t even taken off other jewelry?
Xie Jing found it.
Several people were looking for it on the ground and on the beach, while Xie Jing was looking for it in the crevices of the rocks.
Find a snake.
He was naughty and chased the snake away with branches.
When I saw the snake going back into its hole, I dug out the snake's hole.
He was so angry that the snake tried to bite him, but in the end he picked it up with a folding fan and threw it away. Then continue to dig into other people's nests.
He dug out a silver hairpin.
Di Ying gave him a thumbs up.
Xie Jing laughed "Hehe": "When we were in the mountains, we often did this when we were bored. My master said that snakes like shiny things. I was thinking, what if? Sometimes we would still do it when we were in the mountains. You can dig out scraps of gold and silver from the snake's nest."
Di Ying: "...Your master is really good at making money."
Xie Jing nodded fiercely.
Zhou Lin's deer eyes also slightly curved.
Di Ying took the silver hairpin and looked at it.
The style is old, scratched, and a little tarnished. There were no signs of fire.
"It seems that the deceased was at least forty years old. I remember seeing this style on some women of that age."
"My lord, I will go to the nearest fishing village to find out?" Xie Jing understood instantly.
Di Ying thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay. At the same time, let's ask if anyone has purchased a large amount of kerosene recently.
For a corpse to be burned like this, kerosene must have been added. Moreover, it must be beaten after burning to form powdery lumps. It's just that the beating was not too detailed, so there were so many broken bones. "
Xie Jing: "...Sir, do you think it's all you? I guess you are the only one who can discover that these are human bones. If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't have even looked at the ashes."
Di Ying: "...Go quickly. Remember to ask about the earrings when you ask. After all, it makes a tinkling sound everywhere, so the neighbors must have heard it."
"Okay." Xie Jing agreed cheerfully and disappeared quickly with three leaps.
There are no big towns here, just fishermen.
Some have gathered into a village, while others just build stone houses randomly and live by the seaside for easy access to the sea.
Therefore it is quite messy and not neat.
Only the area where the ashes are located has a large beach and is repeatedly washed by waves every day, so no fishermen would choose to go into the sea from here.
Generally, fishermen will choose a beach that has a beach, but is not as big as this and is dry, to stay or go to the sea.
Build boats, repair boats, pull nets, mend nets, sell, dry fish and shrimp, etc. on the beach.
And the pile of rocks at the end of this beach is too big and messy. I can't build a house, and it's still in the way.
