[Chapter 71 Wei Niang]

,,,,,,,,,,

Most of these bones still have soft tissue on them, not just white bones, so it looks terrible, especially some of the skull bones have hair, and the flesh has not all fallen off, so it’s too late to see Green groaned.

After a long time, Wan Lu calmed down and glanced at Liu Shishi quietly. Seeing him frowning and standing in the corner with disgust on his face, anger rushed up in his heart. Mother came to identify.

But when she got angry, she didn’t get mad at Liu Shishi, she grabbed a pair of gloves from the yamen next to her, put them on quickly, and crouched beside Ran Yan, “Mother, how do you identify this? Let’s

share.”

Ran Yan was observing the grinding process of a skull’s teeth when she heard Wan Lu’s slightly angry voice, she couldn’t help turning her head to look at her, slightly bent her lips, turned her skull upside down, and said, “The sphenoid body The junction with the bottom of the occipital bone is separated by a cartilage before adulthood, which is called the basal suture. The healing of this gap is between 21 and 23 years old. After the age of forty, this gap will completely disappear.”

Ran Yan pointed the gap to Wanlv Look, “Look at this, it’s healed well, but it hasn’t disappeared. It means that it is at least 21 years old and under 40 years old, and then it can be inferred based on the wear process of the teeth.”

Although she has been explaining, but Ran Yan never really Let Wan Lu distinguish, she just thinks Wan Lu is not small and has great potential.

“Wearing means that the tips and occlusal surfaces of the upper and lower teeth are gradually worn away during the process of chewing food during the growth period.” Ran Yan pushed the lower jaw of the skull in her hand, so that Wan Lu could see the transverse surface of the teeth carefully, “such as the teeth of this skull. , Most of the tooth cusps are worn away, and the dentin is exposed in dots, that is, a dot can be seen on the transverse surface of the tooth. This is the exposed dentin after the surface of the tooth is worn away. We can judge the age of this skull, About 36 to 45 years old. ” Wan Lu

said: “Then this skull, that is, 36 to 40 years old?”

“Not bad.” Ran Yan nodded with satisfaction, and continued to check the healing of other parts of the skull, “Wait to find the others. bones, you can narrow the age range error to two years.”

Feng Xun saw that Ran Yan was narrowing the age range step by step, so he also came over, “What if the teeth are not worn out, or are they worn too much?”

Ran Yan did not hide his clumsiness. Situation explanation, “If you want to understand thoroughly, you must first understand the internal structure of the teeth, and you can cut open the teeth to observe when you have time. In general, we divide the loss of teeth into six grades, the first is the cusp tip and edge. Slight wear, this stage occurs around the age of 15 to 25, and the second stage refers to the flattening of the cusps or the depression in the center of the occlusal surface, which occurs between the ages of 26 and 35…”

Ran Yan said,

and quickly eliminated it. The broken bones were thrown aside.

Because these corpses were originally buried in mats, it is not random. Fortunately, the soft tissues did not completely disappear, so that many bones were connected together by them.

The two female corpses of the right age were gradually put together under Ran Yan’s hands.

Liu Rang’s brows loosened a little, and suddenly a team came running outside, crossed hands to Liu Rang, and said: “Inspector, my subordinates were ordered to arrest Yin Niang, and they searched for two minutes in Yin’s mansion, but no one was found, and Yin mansion also No one knows his whereabouts.”

“I don’t know where it ends?” Liu Rang’s brows that had just loosened frowned again, “Send my order, the whole city will arrest.”

“Wait.” Ran Yan stood up and said: “Liu The prefect may wish to send more people on the banks of the Pingjiang River.”

Liu Rang immediately linked the matter to Yin Wanwan’s death, and ordered: “Just send half of the staff to Pingjiang River, this official will go there in person, and the court hearing will be postponed. One day.”

Ran Yan looked down at the two female corpses, then stepped up to catch up with Liu Rang, “Inspector Liu, I’ll go with me, maybe it can help narrow down the area.” The

Pingjiang River is more than five miles long, even if the All the soldiers from the entire Suzhou City were dispatched, and it took several hours to find them. Liu Rang kept walking, nodding without thinking, “Okay.”

Ran Yan and Wan Lu hurriedly followed Liu Rang to the stables. When they turned around, they encountered a middle-aged woman who was pressed by several yamen. The woman’s hands and feet were chained, but her clothes were still neat and decent. The hair on the temples is not messy at all, the light eyebrows and eyes are like ink smudged in the mist and rain, the slender waist is like a willow in the weak wind, the white cicada wing gauze, the light gray skirt, the whole person seems to be walking in June The bluestone alley in Suzhou on a rainy day is gentle and quiet.

When the woman saw Ran Yan’s footsteps, she raised her eyes slightly, jabbed at Ran Yan slightly, and then turned and walked away calmly, as if the ten-pound iron chain under her feet was just a decoration.

“Wei Niang.” Ran Yan had never seen her, but the moment she saw her, she was sure that it must be Wei Niang.

Wei Niang stopped in her footsteps, turned slightly to the side, and said indifferently, “You are Ran Shiqi Niang, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Such a woman who looks like she came out of an ink painting, with an air of elegance, said that she murdered, if it wasn’t enough The evidence is really hard to convince.

But Ran Yan noticed a problem, Wei Niang had never paid attention to Wan Lu at all. If the woman who was conspiring with Cui Mei at that time was indeed her, she would not have completely ignorant of Wan Lu anyway.

“Cuimei…” When Ran Yan said the name, she saw Wei Niang’s body froze slightly, and then she said, “Who is she?”

Wei Niang slowly closed her eyes, her lips parted slightly, “Daughter , she is my daughter.” When she

said the last two words, Wei Niang’s body was tense, her voice was trembling, she took two breaths, then returned to normal, turned to look at Ran Yan, and smiled slightly: “You can ask Do you have one thing?”

“You said.” Ran Yan said.

Wei Niang walked back slowly, stood in front of Ran Yan, held her hand gently, and said, “When I die, I will spend two taels of silver, please help me bury my corpse and bury me and Cui Mei in the One. I think, you might need it.” The

last sentence, others listened inexplicably.

Wei Niangping bowed to Ran Yan and walked away quickly.

Ran Yan clenched the warm and sweaty paper in her hands, and said to her back, “I’ll help you.”

Because Wei Niang was delayed for a while, Ran Yan put what Wei Niang had stuffed into her sleeve pocket and led Wan Lu hurriedly away.

Naturally, arresting criminals can’t take a horse-drawn carriage to pass by slowly. Fortunately, Ran Yan used to go to the horse farm often and regarded horseback riding as a leisure time.

Before Inspector Liu had time to ask, Ran Yan took the whip from the yamen, got on his horse, and pulled Wan Lu up again.

Ran Yan ignored the surprise on Wan Lu’s face, and said, “Hold me.”

Wan Lu hugged Ran Yan’s slender waist according to her words. At the moment, Ran Yan’s whip made a slap, and the horse slowly ran a few steps. , and then rushed out like a gust of wind.

Dust rose from the ground, and all the government soldiers and yamen officers stared at the shadow that was getting farther and farther away.

Liu Rang was also a little surprised, but he couldn’t bear to think too much, so he rushed up with his whip.

The horses galloped for a while, and Ran Yan almost reached the river with Yang Yong, the commander of the government troops.

Ran Yan was carrying two people right away!

Yang Yong was only able to catch up. He glanced at Ran Yan with admiration, and was immediately stunned. This was the first time he had seen Ran Yan’s face clearly. In the morning light, Ruyu’s face was dripping with fine sweat. Makes the fair face more crystal clear.

Yang Yong has heard a lot of rumors in the past few days, but with the delicate and beautiful face in front of her, it is impossible to imagine what kind of expression she should have looked like when she held the knife and cut open the body.

Ran Yan and Wan Lu had just dismounted, and Liu Rang and others had also arrived.

This is the Liudi where Yin Miaomiao and Qin Shilang were on the night of Qixi Festival.

In the daytime, the willow branches are swaying, the water is clear and the blue sky is clear, and a few delicate flowers bloom sporadically in the grass by the river bank, but it is a rare beauty.

Wan Lu was riding a horse for the first time, and her face turned pale when she was beaten. She ran to the side to support the tree trunk and gasped heavily.

Liu Rang looked at the surrounding environment and said, “Seventeen mother, why are you here?”

Ran Yan was about to explain, but she heard Wan Lu scream in surprise, “Mother, there is blood!”

Liu Rang and the others immediately turned over and dismounted. , walked over quickly.

Ran Yan also followed Wan Lu’s point, and there was a pool of blood under the grass, flowing into the river along the slope of the embankment, and at the junction of the water and the bank, curly flowers appeared.

Liu Rang immediately ordered someone to go down to check. After a while, someone came from below, “Inspector, there is no one below, but there are traces of dragging next to the blood.”

“Could it be a corpse?” Liu Rang thought of Yin After being sunk in the night, he immediately said.

Ran Yan slid along the grass to the bottom of the embankment, and watched the dragged bloodstain in person. It was about half a zhang long. It was obviously dragged from the edge of the embankment for a certain distance.

Since it is necessary to drag and drop to move the human body, why do the traces disappear when dragged halfway?

Whether it is sinking a corpse or transferring a corpse, this should not happen.

On the embankment, Liu Rang instructed the government soldiers to look for it in a radius of one mile, and he himself came down to check the blood.

He was also in a hurry, and he saw that the case was about to come to an end. Since there are suspects, witnesses, and some evidence, he is only one step away from the truth, but many mysteries have not been solved yet.

sonicmtl.

The com suspect has disappeared, and it looks like he might have been murdered.

Isn’t Yin Miaomiao not the mastermind, as Wei Niang said?

Liu Rang was devastated. He looked at the half-zhang-long bloodstain, exhaled deeply, calmed the anxiety and confusion in his heart, and carefully observed other bloodstains on the riverbank.

“Miss Yin will be fine, right?” Wan Lu said.

Ran Yan stared at the blood stains in the water, her eyes lowered and she said nothing.

“Wanlu, what is my relationship with Yin Miaomiao?” Ran Yan murmured.

Wan Lu lowered her voice and said, “Could it be that Mother found something and wanted to cover her up?”

“Just answer me.” Ran Yan frowned.

Wan Lu hesitated for a while and said, “Apart from getting along well with Yin Siniang, my mother is generally friendly with other mothers.
