The Tang Dynasty’s Female Forensic Doctor - Chapter 252

[Chapter 254 The mysterious mother and daughter]

Just like the time set by Ran Yan, the restoration of the appearance was completed in the afternoon of the next day. Because there was no condition to paint, Ran Yan could only give up, and painted the appearance of the deceased according to the restored appearance.

It was snowing heavily outside, Ran Yan was lying on the table, a young lady in her twenties leapt out of the paper under her pen, with lily eyebrows and almond eyes, the roundness of life, and the feeling of a little home jasper, but she was dressed in luxurious clothes. The half-turned bun looks a bit inconsistent.

Xiao Song stood beside her, and when she saw her put down her pen, she turned her attention to the paper. After a look, she couldn’t help but be a little surprised, “This lady…”

“What’s wrong?” Ran Yan rarely saw him show this expression naturally, so she couldn’t help asking curiously, “Have you seen her?”

Xiao Song slowed down and said, “No, when I arrested Dou Chengfeng, I found out that he was living in a lady’s house, and that lady was very similar to the person you painted, at least six points alike, but Age makes a difference.”

“Could they be sisters?” Ran Yan asked.

Xiao Song shook his head, “I guess it’s a mother and a daughter. That lady is out of 30, her charm is still there, there is a red mole at the corner of her eye, and she herself admits to having an affair with Dou Chengfeng.”

“Then her daughter…” Ran Yan frowned, her mother had an affair with Dou Chengfeng, but her daughter went on an outing outside the city with him. What does this mean?

Does Dou Chengfeng have that kind of relationship with this mother and daughter?

Xiao Song obviously thinks the same way, “This woman is around 20 years old, and she would have married and had children under normal circumstances. If she has a husband’s family, she should not be reported to the authorities after she has been missing for so long, and for her disappearance, It’s very strange that the mother didn’t mention it at all.”

The news of the other two people is like a rock sinking into the sea, and their life and death are still unknown, and there is no clue.

Xiao Song has ordered people to search for all suspected clues, and even carefully searched every one they might have gone to, but nothing has been found.

However, the good news is that Dou Chengfeng finally regained consciousness, and under Xiao Song’s repeated interrogation, he explained the identity of another person.

“According to Dou Chengfeng, he only knows another man named Yu Lang. It is said that he was born very handsome, and he is a friend of He Yan, but I sent someone to investigate, but all the people who knew He Yan were not. I don’t know a person named Yu Lang.” Xiao Song paused and said, “I suspect that he is the son of the Xiaozhulou, and has already sent someone to investigate.”

The identities of the remaining people are already clear. They are He Yan, a 19-year-old scholar of the poor family, without a title, Dou Chengfeng, the son of Dou’s concubine, Zi Yuancheng, and a Yu Lang who only knows his name.

Xiao Song’s suspicions are not unreasonable. Although Chang’an City is there, the household registration is basically counted. Even the brothel and the clerk’s building are in it. It is only a matter of time before the identity of Yu Lang is found out.

“He Yan and Yu Lang are friends, is it possible that the two of them joined forces to kill someone and abscond?” Ran Yan asked while making final adjustments to the portrait.

Xiao Song looked at her fair and slender neck, which was like a warm jade against the background of black hair, and felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. He was emotional at this time, but he did not want to destroy this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere. stared at her.

Ran Yan put down her pen, seeing that he hadn’t answered for a long time, she couldn’t help turning to look at him, “What are you smirking?”

Xiao Song has always looked calm and capable, but this was the first time he showed such an expression. He was caught in the face. He only coughed dryly and answered her question indifferently, “It’s very possible that you said it, because Dou Cheng Feng said that he drank a lot of alcohol and smoked Afu Rong. When he woke up, he found himself in a coma in the woods. He thought that his companion was deliberately playing tricks on him, so he walked back to the city on foot. Later, he heard about the case. , for fear of involving himself, so he hid in Xianghao’s house.”

This rhetoric is full of doubts. Since it is so simple, what does he have to hide?

Hiding for a while and hiding for a lifetime?

He took his old friend’s daughter out of the city to play, and when he came back, he lost someone. The woman didn’t ask her daughter’s life or death, and she helped to cover him up?

The truth must be more than that…

Xiao Song and Ran Yan both thought so, and there were many possibilities in their hearts, but they didn’t find any clues to prove it.

You can only go to verify and exclude one by one.

“What’s the situation on Wenxi County’s side?” Ran Yan was very concerned about this woman who was five or six in her appearance and who had experienced misery. In particular, she had the possibility of split personality, which made Ran Yan’s curiosity even more serious.

“The county lord Wenxi went out in disguise that day, and went to a small monastery in the east of the city, but he just showed his signature.” Xiao Song took the portrait of the self-conscious girl, looked at it again and again, and did not hesitate to praise: “Your This skill is really amazing, I am afraid that it is the first person in the Tang Dynasty!”

Compliments can be very unrestrained, and Dan Xiao Song also has doubts in his heart, how could a clan lady like to play with dead people?

How can you be good at this?

It can be said that most of the women in the Tang Dynasty are very individual, with a kind of tenacity and strength in their bones. There is no shortage of women who are not allowed to be men. However, there is no one like Ranyan, who does not change her face when she sees a dead person, as if she was born to do this. one line.

Although Xiao Song felt that they needed to be frank with each other, but there was still a long time in the future, and he was not in a hurry.

Ran Yan’s thoughts were still on the county head of Wenxi. She thought for a long time before she said, “Going out to ask for a signature when the limelight is so tight?”

It’s nothing if it’s put on someone else’s body, but I heard that the county owner has a different identity and is extremely cautious… Then again, it’s just a sign, she just went there openly, and no one stopped her.

“I want to contact Wenxi County Lord a few more times, don’t you know it’s convenient?” Ran Yan asked.

Seeing that she was looking forward to it, Xiao Song smiled, “It’s not inconvenient, just be careful when you go.

This matter can be big or small, and no one will stare at Chai Mansion all day long, but if someone with a heart finds it, it will inevitably be used to make a fuss.

“Thank you.” How could Ran Yan not understand what he meant, but the happiest thing was his support.

Seeing her smiling, Xiao Song felt a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before. He climbed step by step to the high position of the fourth-rank servant, every step he expected, and he was very happy every time he was promoted. A joy that pays off, and this moment is different.

He reached out and scratched her petite and upturned nose, and deliberately poured cold water and said, “Don’t be too happy, I received the news that the old lady will be here tomorrow afternoon, she is impatient, if she wants to see you, she may be the day after tomorrow. Run to Ran’s house.”

Ran Yan glared at him, “Stunning scenery.”

Xiao Song got up, put a kiss on her forehead, and rolled up the dried picture, “I’ll go to the official office, wait for me to come back and see you off.”

“It’s boring for me to stay. You don’t need to take me. I can go back by myself.” Ran Yan spent the whole day in his house mainly to help him a little. here.

“There is a room next to my study. I have prepared some things. You can go and have a look.” Xiao Song put the scroll in a special bamboo tube. He has been very busy recently because he was injured and came back to restore his appearance. The portrait of her, so he just stole it for a while, otherwise he would have wanted to accompany her.

“Okay, you go to work first.” Ran Yan replied.

Xiao Song took the bamboo tube with the picture scroll and left in a hurry.

Ran Yan and Wan Lu sorted out the things in the house a little and went to the study.

There was a young servant standing under the study, who was specially in charge of the study. He received Xiao Song’s explanation, so he let Ran Yan visit at will, and he only waited on the side.

This pavilion is not small. There is only one huge library on the first floor. Ran Yan walked around in it and made a rough estimate. There must be at least five or six thousand books. There are all kinds of books, mostly miscellaneous notes and maps. , local chronicles, medicine, Taoism, the art of war and other aspects of knowledge, and even some collections of words, and the Confucian classics of the eight classics only account for a small part.

Xiao Song’s character can also be seen from this collection of books, covering a wide range of subjects, not being old-fashioned, and not being too influenced by Confucianism.

After visiting the library, Ran Yan went up to the second floor.

There are four rooms on the second floor. Xiao Song’s study, which is full of case files, is in the second room ahead of the stairs. That is where he works. Ran Yan didn’t plan to go in privately, so she went directly to the next room.

Before opening the door, Ran Yan smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

The servant opened the door, and an eight-screen screen was erected at the front entrance. The translucent silk veil made the interior look not stuffy, but a branch of red plum was embroidered on it, which made her both amused and annoyed.

Com seems to be able to see Xiao Song teasing and running on her.

Isn’t it good to write poetry?

Ran Yan snorted lightly, and walked around the screen. Everything in the house came into view, and Ran Yan looked around in surprise.

This room is more than twice the size of Xiao Song’s “office”. The four walls are surrounded by cabinets dedicated to pharmacies. The names of medicines are marked on the small drawers. The wood looks very new. Not long after it was done, there was a long case in the color molybdenum lead mine by the window, and there was a set of scalpels exactly the same as the one she used in Liu Pinrang, and even better.

Ran Yan couldn’t help picking them up and looking at them one by one, and found that the ones that were better than Liu Pinrang’s set were not in the material, but the blade should be thin and thin, and the blade should be thick and thick. Obviously, it was designed. The people who have carefully pondered which part of the human body these knives are used in, and what kind of thing is good.

The servant didn’t know what these knives of different shapes and sizes were used for, and thought they were cooking utensils of many different styles. Seeing that Ran Yan was very happy, he also explained diligently, “These utensils are specially made by Langjun. It was made by someone, and I asked Dr. Liu for advice many times, and these medicinal materials are also the best, this year’s fresh goods.”

The little servant said, and felt a little wrong in his heart. This is clearly a pharmacy. What are the cooking utensils in the pharmacy?

But it makes sense to think that it may be that Lang Jun planned to surprise Lady Ran together.

The doubts in his heart flashed past, and the little servant felt that it was not easy for his husband to marry a daughter-in-law, and he kept saying good things in front of Ran Yan, saying how much effort Xiao Song had put in, and what he had done by himself. got it.

“There are also medical books collected by Lang Jun.” The servant took out some nanmu boxes from the grid under the medicine cabinet. “These are the things that many doctors dream of.”

,Please.
