Master Liu didn't expect that Jade-faced Yama would be so disrespectful, so he scolded him a lot when he came up, so he had to change the topic while apologizing.
"Please ask the priest of Dali Temple to check the body, so as not to waste your time, Prince Su."
Yao Shu could tell that Fu Xiujin didn't seem to like Magistrate Pei very much.
She announced her identity, then stood directly at the table and asked which box contained the bones. Master Liu immediately pointed to the larger box, and then began to briefly describe the situation of the bones.
"The deceased, Chen Suqing, was sixteen years old, female. She was kidnapped and burned to death. Since the case has been going on for three years, only the bones are left. You can check it. If the bones are OK, they can be stamped and taken away."
Without saying a word, Yao Shu rolled up her sleeves and skillfully rummaged through the scattered bones to find the pelvis that determined the gender and age. Suddenly her movements froze. She suddenly picked up the skull and put it on the table. She rummaged for a while and took out the pubic bone. She compared the two and her face darkened.
"Did they give the wrong bones? Judging from the degree of tooth wear and the texture of the pubic symphysis, the deceased was at least 25 years old, and the skull showed that he was struck to death with a heavy object."
"Impossible! A seal was affixed after the bones were sealed. The seal was broken just now when you opened the box. If you can't do it, ask someone else to review it. Although I am only the chief clerk, I can take pictures of this kind of thing. I guarantee that there will be no mistakes in my chest." Standing beside him was Master Liu, who was worried. This major case of collecting the wrong bones is a major matter related to the reputation of the government, and it must not be careless.
How dare you say she can't do it? Yao Shu knew that Master Liu was going to suffer.
"Master Liu, are you worthy of questioning me, a member of Dali Temple?" Fu Xiujin frowned and spoke in a horrifying tone, his eyes like knives directed at Master Liu.
Yao Shu laughed secretly in her heart, and she was indeed very protective of her shortcomings.
Master Liu was completely panicked now. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He raised his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, he felt blessed. He immediately pointed to the corpse guard and explained, "There was only this corpse at the scene. , was burnt into a charred corpse. Mr. and Mrs. Chen personally came to the scene to identify the body. We collected the body and performed an autopsy in front of Mr. Chen and Mr. Chen, then sealed the box and put a note inside. The jade bracelet that went in had the word "Qing" engraved on it, so it's definitely not that we collected the wrong bones, the bones are indeed Chen Suqing's body."
Fu Xiujin looked towards Yao Shu, and Yao Shu understood. She rummaged in the box for a while, and indeed found a jasper bracelet. Looking at it against the light, the word "Qing" on the inner wall was very conspicuous.
There is no doubt that this body is indeed that of "Chen Suqing" recovered from the crime scene.
Zhao Shaobai, who had been standing by for a while, thought for a moment and suddenly interjected, "I just looked through the file. The murderer took the ransom and killed Chen Suqing. When the two elders of the Chen family went to identify the body, the scene was in a mess and nothing was left. Only this corpse, how did he determine from a charred corpse that it was his daughter?"
"The body definitely does not belong to 16-year-old Chen Suqing, but it is indeed "Chen Suqing" that you recovered from the scene. I think the Chen family misidentified the body from the beginning." Yao Shu spoke firmly. She was very confident in her professional skills. Have confidence.
"There is another possibility. Mr. Chen knew that this was not his daughter's body but deliberately deceived everyone." After Fu Xiujin finished speaking, he stood up from the Taishi chair, took a long step over Yao Shu and Zhao Shaobai, and walked out of the room. Hall.
His cold voice came from the front, "Take the bones and files and go to the Chen Mansion."
When Yao Shu and Zhao Shaobai followed them out, a graceful figure turned in from the moon arch door, and the woman called out to Fu Xiujin.
"Why did the prince leave so soon? Yingxia just heard from my brother that you were here to do something, so I came over to take a look. Who are you, a woman?" Pei Yingxia's originally smiling face suddenly stagnated, and her appraising eyes stopped. Yao Shu's face.
"This is my brother-in-law of Dali Temple. I have official business to attend to, so I won't talk to Miss Pei any more. I'll take my leave."
Fu Xiujin walked past Pei Yingxia without even looking at her and strode away. Zhao Shaobai held the box and pushed Yao Shu from behind to signal her to follow. Yao Shu could only look away from the girl and followed.
"Oh, it's a pity that my sister, with such a pretty face, was treated as a widow. Does Dali Temple also accept female widows? I heard that Dali Temple's recruitment requirements are very strict. What kind of connections did my sister get in? I will also introduce my friends next time. Go and give it a try? Sister, please don’t be angry. Sometimes Yingxia speaks a little bluntly, so don’t annoy me.”
With such a strong tea smell, the rank is still a bit low. Yao Shu shook her head.
"If you have nothing to do, just study more. If you have knowledge, you can get in. It's not a big problem for you to question me, but don't question Dali Temple's recruitment standards. After all, you are outspoken and it would be bad to offend our prince. The prince is not like me. So tolerant and generous.”
After Yao Shu finished speaking, she raised her legs and left. Anyway, Fu Xiu was careful to protect his shortcomings and it was estimated that Pei Yingxia would not dare to do anything to her. Zhao Shaobai followed behind, suppressing his laughter, but Pei Yingxia was the only one who turned around in anger and walked to the side hall.
"Go and find out who this woman is. She is actually following Prince Su, and she dares to talk nonsense to me. You can't let her go." Pei Yingxia looked at Yao Shu with eyes as sinister as a poisonous snake, which was different from her innocent look just now. Big difference.
Zhao Shaobai was very happy to see Pei Yingxia frustrated, and he couldn't close the chatterbox once he opened it.
"Let me tell you, this Pei Yingxia is Prime Minister Pei's legitimate daughter. She has liked our prince since she was a child, but Prime Minister Pei doesn't like the prince, so they can't get along."
"Does the prince like Pei Yingxia?" Yao Shu became curious. Fu Xiujin looked so innocent, so he wouldn't be eaten by this green tea.
Zhao Shaobai rolled his eyes, "The prince doesn't like her. She only has a prettier face and a bad temper. As long as she has a chance to take revenge on any woman who is prettier than her, she will take revenge on others. What do others have? She won't be happy if something is better than her, and she always has to push others down. It's obvious that she just thought you were prettier than her, and that's why she got so angry."
Come on, I still like female competition. Yao Shu's rating for Pei Yingxia was directly negative.
When the three of them arrived at the Chen Mansion, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen were in the backyard. When the concierge heard that Prince Su was coming, he immediately ordered someone to invite him. He led the three of them to the flower hall to rest first.
Yao Shu was drinking tea when Mr. Chen and his wife hurried over. Mrs. Chen suddenly knelt down towards Fu Xiujin, with tears streaming down her face and began to cry.
"Your Majesty, you are as discerning as a god in your case. I beg you to find the murderer of my Qing'er. I dream about my Qing'er dying every day. I haven't found the murderer for three years. I hate it!"
"Get up and speak. Marquis Yongning and Mr. Chen are family friends. He asked the government to transfer the case to Dali Temple. I will do my best to find the murderer."
