On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1844 The 1st Scene

Yan Ruyu did not leave immediately. She turned around and looked at the yard.

The deceased was carried out from inside, and the place where she was standing was not the primary scene.

"Go in and have a look."

Governor Cao also brought people over, and Yan Ruyu said, "Sir, when you send people to look for the murderer, be extra careful of those who have problems with their right index finger."

"It's not just about major problems like missing fingers or broken fingers. We also need to pay attention to minor problems like weak fingers."

Governor Cao was still confused, but Huo Changhe understood: "Did you notice, sir, that there are purple finger marks on the face of the deceased, probably caused by the murderer pinching him. The mark on the index finger is slightly lighter than the others."

Governor Cao suddenly realized.

"This princess will go in and take a look. My Lord, please arrange some personnel. The fewer people who come to the scene, the less damage the better."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu went in and took out a flashlight.

This place was already dilapidated, and now that no one has moved in, it looks even more desolate.

Like a haunted house.

"Over there," Huo Changhe pointed.

As the two walked over there, Yan Ruyu whispered, "When I was doing the autopsy just now, I saw the fatal wound. It must have been a very special murder weapon. After it was pulled out, the wound left traces of flowers."

Huo Changhe was slightly surprised: "Flowers?"

The two looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

Before this, they always thought that Hua was Gongyang Hua.

But how could Gongyang Hua rape and kill a woman?

That doesn't quite make sense.

When we arrived at the scene, the ground was a mess with footprints and signs of dragging.

As well as torn dresses and half sleeves.

They all belong to the dead.

Yan Ruyu handed Huo Changhe a pair of gloves, put them on herself, and then took a piece of paper to make a copy of the footprints. The family members of the deceased had been here, so there was more than one pair of footprints, which actually meant that the scene was destroyed.

If no one else came, there should only be two sets of footprints, that of the deceased and the murderer.

Huo Changhe pointed to the door frame: "There is blood here."

Yan Ruyu came over quickly and shone the light: "Don't touch it."

The bloodstains are small, but the fingerprints are real.

This is a huge gain.

Yan Ruyu took out the tools from the space and collected the fingerprints. Fortunately, there were still a few complete fingerprints.

“There are big ones and small ones, not just one person’s.”

Yan Ruyu nodded: "The small one should be the deceased's, and the big one should be the murderer's."

Huo Changhe turned his head and saw a faint glow behind the door.

He pointed to the ground: "Can you walk?"

"can."

Walking around, Huo Changhe picked up a hairpin with blood on it behind the door.

"Yu'er, look."

Yan Ruyu used a handkerchief to pad her palm and caught the hairpin.

The hairpin is quite delicate, with a plain silver body and a butterfly-shaped tip inlaid with cat's eye.

Yan Ruyu recalled the man's clothes. They were not particularly bad, but he did not look like he could afford such a hairpin.

There was still blood on the hairpin.

"This should be the hairpin that the deceased used to stab the murderer when he was resisting. Later, he was counterattacked and threw it over here."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Go back and do a blood test, and we'll know if it's the blood of the deceased."

If not, then it belongs to the murderer.

If the murderer was really injured, that would be a major clue and would be very helpful in finding him.

Yan Ruyu was about to move when her toes seemed to step on something. She picked it up and saw that it was a button.

Small, round, and emerald green.

"This is a top-grade jade buckle," Huo Changhe picked it up, "and the quality is pretty good."

This kind of thing is really out of place in this dilapidated place.

If it wasn't used by the woman, then it belonged to the murderer.

Yan Ruyu put away the buttons as well: "Show it to the people under Governor Cao, and have them look for it."

After looking at the scene and finding nothing else, the two left together.

The people in the alley outside had already been persuaded to leave by Governor Cao.

Governor Cao was standing at the entrance of the alley, talking to Cui Chong.

When you see them coming out, rush to meet them.

"My Lord, Princess, do you have any clues?"

Yan Ruyu handed him the button and said, "Sir, take a look at this. It should belong to the murderer. This is also a clue."

"Okay, okay, great."

Governor Cao nodded repeatedly. He finally had some clues, but he looked unhappy and didn't look pleased.

Just when the incident of Guiyan killing civilians was suppressed, another incident arose.

Although only one person died, the nature of the crime was still vile and outrageous.

My mood had just recovered a little tonight, but it was completely ruined again.

Huo Changhe said: "Sir, don't be discouraged. Finding the murderer, redressing the deceased, giving an explanation to the family, and reassuring the people is the most important thing."

"Yes, Your Majesty is right. I will arrange it immediately."

Huo Changhe looked at the time and said, "Forget about it tonight. It's getting late. Go back and have some rest. Come to the palace early tomorrow morning and I will do it with you."

"After all this trouble, the murderer has already fled. It's curfew and people are all at home. We can't wake them up in the middle of the night, so let's talk about it tomorrow."

Governor Cao thought about it and realized it was true, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.

He took his men away, and Huo Changhe also returned home with Yan Ruyu.

The eldest lady had not gone to bed yet. When she heard that they had gone out again, she could not sleep at all. She told the doorman to report immediately once they came back.

"What happened?" asked the first lady. "Is it difficult?"

If it was a normal matter, both of them wouldn't go out so late.

Huo Changhe did not hide anything and briefly explained the matter.

Although the deceased's injuries were not mentioned, the eldest lady was also deeply saddened.

"How could this happen? The murderer is truly a heinous criminal. If we catch him, we must first castrate him and then kill him."

Huo Changhe: "..."

"What a piece of shit! No, it's worse than a dog. It's unworthy of being a human to do such a thing that's worse than an animal."

She cursed a few times, but became even angrier.

Yan Ruyu changed the subject: "Mother, how is Wen Xiaolian these past two days?"

Wen Xiaolian is Xu Congshan’s wife.

"She's fine. Sun Hengheng comes to check her pulse often. Don't worry."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "She is also pregnant. Mother should be careful when she is with her and not let her know about this."

The eldest lady suddenly realized and nodded, "Yes, you are right. I have to remind Madam Rong and the others not to tell her about this."

Rong and several female soldiers often came to see Wen Xiaolian, taught her some skills, chatted with her, and got along well with her.

If this incident doesn't spread throughout the city tomorrow, at least it will spread to Xicheng District.

After giving instructions to the lady, Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu back to the courtyard.

Yan Ruyu entered the space, kept the collected footprints, recorded the fingerprints, and also took the bloodstains on the door and hairpin for inspection.

After doing this, she drew the shape of the deceased's wounds.

I was thinking about borrowing the abbot's cell phone tomorrow so I could take some pictures.

I was busy until very late before I had time to go to sleep.

The next morning, they both woke up early, feeling a little uneasy as this matter was unresolved.

Especially the shape of the wound made them even more confused.

Just after breakfast, someone came to report that Governor Cao had arrived.

Huo Changhe smiled bitterly: "It seems that Governor Cao didn't sleep well either."

"Please ask him to wait in the front hall."

Yan Ruyu took her lunch box, carried a breakfast, and went to the front hall with Huo Changhe.

As soon as I saw Governor Cao, I could tell that he didn't sleep well the night before.
