Chapter 102 Turn 14

Bo Ruoyou's ears were hot when he heard it. He turned around and stared at Huo Weilou with disagreement. This made Huo Weilou laugh. His eyes were a bit meaningful, which made Bo Ruoyou's heart jump very quickly, and he was stunned.

She turned around in a daze, feeling that she had never seen Huo Weilou smile like this before. She was a very handsome person, but she had a cold face every day and was not close to her. However, she didn't know that when she showed her face, she was quite touching.

When Wu Xiang in the water looked at Huo Weilou, he saw a smile between his eyebrows and eyes. Others were stunned and quickly raised his hand to rub his eyes. When he looked again, he saw Huo Weilou's serious and solemn look again. He sighed and thought to himself that he was really entangled by water ghosts. Although this Marquis Wu Zhao was in the age of ten or three, Sun Zhao was very awe of him. It was so good. How could Marquis Wu Zhao show his beauty to their subordinates?

He shook his head and dived into the bottom of the water. Not long after, he brought out a bunch of bones. Bo Ruoyou took a few bones casually and looked at them. His face suddenly became serious, "These bones are men and women, most of them are adult men and women, but there are also children."

She turned her eyes to look at the Zhang brothers lying on the ground. When she heard her words, the man had no fear and guilt on his face. He just looked at the branches slanted above his head with his eyes half open, looking insensitive.

Her expression was a little cold, and she first went to replicate the seal script on the stone statue, and then cleaned the bones. Seeing that there were too many bones, she said, "Catcher, these bones need to be tested for a while. It is inconvenient here, so I am afraid I will take them back to a farmhouse to see."

Wu Xiang came to the shore and touched the water on his face, "Let's go back to the Zhang family. His house is at least rich, and there are too many bones. And so many people died this time, I have to go back to Beijing to report to Lord Sun, I'll first--"

"I will send someone back to Beijing." Huo Weilou saw that the yamen was not enough, so he spoke in time.

Wu Xiang felt even more grateful and thanked him repeatedly. Huo Weilou ordered a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, and the man quickly left here.

Wu Xiang said again: "Don't catch them first, clean up the bones and bring them back to the Zhang family. You can check them slowly and then come and salvage them."

Bo Ruoyou responded, Wu Xiang called someone out, washed the mud and moss on it, and sent it to the Zhang family together. He thought that Grandma Zhang and others were still in custody. Wu Xiang frowned, "These people are not in a hurry to investigate, they will detain and consume their energy. After they have enough hands, they will be tried again."

Huo Weilou also ordered the attendants of the Hou Mansion to help, so in just one trip, he carried a pile of bones back to the Zhang family. After the bones were put, Bo Ruoyou ordered Zhou Liang to bring the autopsy box on the carriage. Wu Xiang wiped his sweat, "Then I will leave one person to help you, and the others will go to the pool to salvage the corpses--"

Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said, "There is no need to keep anyone, and you can't help if you stay." As he said that, he glanced at Huo Weilou, "The Marquis has not left for a while, and I have no worries about safety. Don't worry about being on the head."

Wu Xiang was still dripping with water, and he didn't care. "Okay, I'll take the Erlang of the Zhang family to the Wu family for supervision first. The others in the village will also take it and ask, so as not to run away and go to trouble."

Wu Xiang wanted to break up a few yamen in two or three for use. Seeing that there was Huo Weilou here, although he felt that it was a little strange, he still hurriedly left the Zhang family to get someone to take care of the bones.

As soon as he left, only Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou were left in the Zhang family. Zhou Liang and other servants were guarding outside. The two of them became quiet and looked at the skeletons piled up on the ground. Bo Ruoyou looked solemn, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to do a big fight.

There are too many bones and mixed together, so even Huo Weilou feels a little headache when he looks at it, "How to test this?"

Bo Ruoyouru always said: "It mainly depends on how many people there are, and then judge whether they are male or female, and how old they are. If they die from trauma, it is best to test the death and the weapon, but if they are suffocated or have not left traces on the bones, they will not be able to test anything."

It is not easy to judge how many people there are, but to check whether there are any scars one by one, and to see which bone is on the corpse, it is even more difficult. Huo Weilou's phoenix eyes were slightly deeper. When he wanted to say something, he saw Bo Ruoyou had already begun to lean over and pick up the skull and open it aside. Her expression was quiet, her beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his solemn appearance made him swallow the encouraging words.

Above tolerance, she always devoted herself to it without any unnecessary words.

Huo Weilou stood by and watched, and the pile of white bones with a terrifying feeling turned into human shapes in her slender hands. He watched her touch and explore each piece of bones carefully. Soon, he had simply pieced together a few human shapes. These pieces of human shapes could roughly show the height of his predecessor. Among them, the two extremely short bones were shocking.

After putting together five or six human figures, Bo Ruoyou straightened his waist and wiped the thin sweat from his forehead. Only then did she remember that there was someone beside her. She quickly turned around and saw Huo Weilou sitting aside for a long time, but she didn't say a word.

Seeing her looking over, Huo Weilou got up and squatted beside her, "Stop?"

She didn't expect that he would squat beside her, and the distance was close at once. The breath seemed to fall on her. His eyebrows and eyes were deep, and the outline of the knife and axe was close in front of her. It was different from the ordinary people and the cold and gentle. At this moment, his eyes were full of concern and concern was hidden in his eyes. A sweet spring spring was overflowing in her heart like the spring breeze and rain.

Bo Ruoyou smiled, "I'm not tired, can the marquis help me remember some details of the bones?"

Huo Weilou didn't say anything, and raised his hand to stroke her forehead. His thick fingertips rubbed her brows, and a touch of moistness appeared to his fingertips. He seemed to have a hint of pity in his eyes, but he had not said anything and stood up to search for the wing rooms on both sides. Soon, he found the rough paper of pen and ink, and Bo Ruoyou breathed out, and marked the marks on several corpses before starting to discuss.

"The first skeleton was an adult man. The bones were five feet long and the body was about five feet and two inches long. There were two injuries left on the bones, one was the forearm tibia, and the other was the second rib under the left rib. The deaths were mostly in the ribs. Judging from the traces of the aging of the bones and the pubic bones, the deceased should be between thirty and thirty-five years old."

"The second one is a girl's skeleton, with a skeleton of three feet and two inches long and a body size of three feet and four inches. No obvious wound marks were found on the skeleton. The lower eye leg bone and right upper arm bone were missing. Judging from the humerus and ulnar bones, they should be around ten years old. The cause of death is unknown, and it is speculated that it is not traumatic death-"

If it weren't for the death of external injuries, it might have been drowned for strangulation. After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, he made a mark and turned to the next skeleton. When a rough skeleton was pieced together in front of him, the remaining skeletons could not be separated.

Huo Weilou put the paper aside, and Bo Ruoyou stood up, "There are old and young among these bones, most of them were the people in the village at that time. There were only a dozen people in their group. How did they harm so many people?"

Huo Weilou looked at him, "It is not impossible if the people here are unprepared. Two years ago, the bandits in Qinzhou looted a town at night. Although they were a group of mobs, they could explore them in advance and acted ruthlessly. In just one night, they murdered many people."

Bo Ruoyou's back felt cold. When he turned his eyes, he saw that it was almost noon above the sun. Bo Ruoyou thought that everyone had not eaten food today, so he asked Zhou Liang to find some grain and rice to prepare some lunch at the Zhang family. Huo Weilou ordered the attendants of the Hou Mansion to help. When Wu Xiang returned with his bones, there was already a smell of food in the kitchen.

Everyone had lunch, and Bo Ruoyou wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, so he raced against time to check his bones. When it was dim, he put together the remaining bones into several complete human bodies. The only thing he was glad that the bones fell into the pool, and most of the skulls were intact. The number of dead people could be determined by relying on the skull. Wu Xiang and others took out many fine bones such as finger bones and teeth, but most of them were difficult to judge who belonged to. Fortunately, the impact was very small, and more than ten bones also had a general understanding of the cause of death.

Bo Ruoyou recorded all the details and then said: "Any trauma is probably the knife marks we found in the empty house. Judging from the traces left on the bones, they are also sharp blades and broken bones hit by blunt objects. In addition, there is also a bone that is quite special. It has just entered the water recently."

Bo Ruoyou pointed to the skeleton on the south side of the ground and said, "It's this one. This one should be the one we found in the cellar. It's different from other skeletons in the water for many years. The surface of this skeleton has wax left by dry rot, and its color is also weathered, and there are traces of moss. I think one of them was afraid that we would search the house, so they stole the corpse and threw it into the pool."

The place set as an altar is hidden in the mountain stream. If you don’t search the mountains, it will be difficult to detect them. It is naturally safer than leaving the corpse in the cellar. At this point, Wu Xiang suddenly said: “It was not the brothers of the Zhang family who stole the corpse that day, but the son of Grandma Zhang.”

Bo Ruoyou didn't know about this, and was shocked, "Has someone else returned to the village?"

Wu Xiang nodded and frowned again, "Yes, I just ordered Hou Yang to get people. I searched for a circle in the village and didn't find this person. I was afraid I had already escaped. This was a bit difficult. It was dark last night and I didn't see his appearance clearly."

Bo Ruoyou never expected that Zhang Yu's father had quietly returned to the village. At this time, Wu Xiang said again: "In addition, I found a few young women's clothes in Old Man Wu's house, and asked them to take them over later. See if it was the one you saw that day."

Bo Ruoyou's heart tightened, "There are only more than ten corpses found at the moment. At that time, there must be more than these people in the village. In addition, Zhang Yu's mother was missing and most of them had been killed, but her body has not been found yet."

If Zhang Yu's mother is killed, it will only take ten days. Wu Xiang nodded, "I will definitely find it if I search the mountains tomorrow!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Yang outside entered the door, "Mr. Marquis, Captain, Lord Sun has arrived!"

When everyone heard this, they went out to greet him. Sure enough, they saw Sun Zhao bringing more than ten or twenty yamen servants. The group was very powerful. Sun Zhao's horse stopped at the gate of the courtyard and immediately turned over. He came forward a few steps to salute Huo Weilou, "Welcome to the Marquis, why did the Marquis come here in person? If the officials knew, they should follow the Marquis."

Sun Zhao was a little nervous. On that day, Huo Weilou went to the yamen to retrieve the files, but later he did not say that he would come to find it himself. The case was far from the point of direct envoy taking over. He never thought that he was still waiting for Wu Xiang to send someone back to Beijing, but he didn't expect that the person who was waiting for Huo Weilou was the one who was from Huo Weilou, which made him a little panicked. When he heard that there were many people dead in the village, he immediately brought people over with him.

Huo Weilou looked as usual: "I am not here for the case, so you don't have to be nervous. Since you are here, you can arrange personnel earlier. After this, you can go back to Beijing to make a decision."

Sun Zhao's eyes rolled, and he nodded again and again, and then pulled Wu Xiang aside. Before asking about the case, he had to ask Wu Xiang how Huo Weilou came. Wu Xiang grabbed his head, "The Marquis said that he came for private matters this time. After coming, he helped a little, and did not ask too much."

Sun Zhao was stunned and looked back. He saw Huo Weilou was talking to Bo Ruoyou, and he had no intention of interfering in the case. He suddenly realized and smiled mysteriously, "Forget it, it doesn't matter, you can talk about the case in detail."

Wu Xiang briefly reported that after hearing this, Sun Zhao immediately mobilized new people to search the mountains and search the mountains and the bones. When he heard that the suspect was detained elsewhere, he immediately charged Huo Weilou with him and went to the Wu family to see Grandma Zhang and others.

Seeing that Sun Zhao was also a little decisive, Bo Ruoyou was a little worried, "The Zhang family has a child, but he looks like he is only six or seven years old. He should have nothing to do with the case, and I don't know how to resettle him this time?"

He is indeed an innocent child. In addition, Bo Ruoyou is particularly pitying for the child, so he is even more worried. Huo Weilou comforted him and said, "Since he is innocent, he will not be involved. Sun Zhao will be placed, so you don't have to worry."

Bo Ruoyou was quite convinced of Huo Weilou in business. Now that he has a different feeling, he is more likely to be comforted by him. She responded and went to count the remaining bones. When it was dark, the bones in the pool were basically fished out, and Bo Ruoyou tested the two more. In this way, the bone test came to an end.

She had been tired for two days and almost didn't sleep last night. Her tired expression was obvious. Not to mention Huo Weilou, even Wu Xiang was quite ashamed of the blame, so she asked her to rest in the Zhang family. Because she had no results in searching the mountains, Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang would interrogate Grandma Zhang and others tonight. Around the hour of Hai, the escaped Zhang brothers were captured by the Yamachai and the guards of the Hou Mansion.

When Bo Ruoyou learned about this, he felt relieved and one more person was caught, and there was a little more possibility of confessing from the truth. As long as one of them spoke, the truth of that year could surface.

Huo Weilou said he would not interfere in the case, so he really didn't care. Even though he knew that Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang had gone to interrogate the suspect, he didn't ask any more questions. He only accompanied Bo Ruoyou to record the remaining corpses and recorded them on the case. When he finished recording it, it was already time for me. As a coroner, Bo Ruoyou had done everything she could do, and then he felt extremely tired.

Uncle Liang prepared some simple meals for everyone to use. Bo Ruoyou couldn't help feeling sleepy. Huo Weilou was helpless and led her into the main room. It had rained here. It used to be Zhang Yu's parents' residence. Maybe Zhang Yu's mother died here, but for Bo Ruoyou and Huo Weilou, such taboos are negligible.

Huo Weilou closed the door, "There is no need for bone tests, it's time to rest."

Bo Ruoyou really wanted to find a place to take a nap, but Huo Weilou was still here, so she hesitated a little, "Where is the marquis resting? I can only spend one night tonight, and the marquis will return to Beijing tomorrow morning."

Huo Wei's floor was still colored, "Will you dare to sleep if I go somewhere else?"

Bo Ruoyou wanted to say something else, but he pulled her hand and took her towards the bed, and there was something unquestionable. Bo Ruoyou looked eager to speak but stopped. Huo Weilou said angrily: "I will not sleep with you."

Bo Ruoyou felt a little relieved when he heard this. Huo Weilou pulled over the chair beside him, and Hengdao immediately sat on the edge of the bed. When he saw Bo Ruoyou standing by the bed, he said helplessly: "I'm afraid that I'll do anything to you?"

Bo Ruoyou sat down. At this moment, Huo Weilou suddenly said, "How did you rest in the past two nights?"

Bo Ruoyou said honestly: "I squeezed into the wing outside to rest."

Huo Weilou's expression suddenly changed. Bo Ruoyou thought it was not good and immediately explained, "They were not relieved that I was resting alone, and the place was not big. The yamen officers were lying on the ground, so I leaned on the couch to rest in a shallow sleep, and there was no rudeness."

Huo Weilou brows slightly, but he was still unhappy in his heart, so he didn't say anything for a moment. Seeing his calm face, Bo Ruoyou softened his voice, "Mr. Marquis, don't be angry, this is also a way to do it. You know that the people in this village are all cruel people, just in case."

Huo Weilou's eyes darkened, "I pity you for such suffering."

Bo Ruoyou's heart was a little sad, but he forced himself to look at himself, "The Marquis is working hard outside. What's my point?"

Huo Weilou was helpless again, "I am a man, you are a woman, how can you compare?"

Bo Ruoyou blinked, "What about a woman? It turns out that the Marquis said that he was not allowed to get involved in the tolerant because he was pitying the woman?"

These words were just a sarcastic revenge. Huo Weilou smiled bitterly and couldn't help but leaned over to hold her hand. "I really didn't believe that you were good at autopsy at the beginning. Later, if you hadn't been flexible in your heart and done your job, I wouldn't have taken you to Luozhou."

Bo Ruoyou understood very well, "I know what the Marquis thought. The Marquis appreciated my autopsy technique at that time."

Huo Weilou looked at her and felt that this was not easy to respond. He pondered for a moment, "At first, it was like this, but later on the way to Luozhou, I felt a little unbearable when I saw you forcing myself. Before you, no one had ever ridden my horse."

Bo Ruoyou wanted to laugh in her heart, but she didn't show her face, "Is this the reason why the Marquis lifted my skirt?"

Huo Weilou frowned for a moment, as if recalling the situation at that time, "I could tell at a glance where you were hurt. There were men around me. If anyone was injured, I would not need my care, so I would not have to worry about it."

Bo Ruoyou felt that Huo Weilou was very easy to talk at this moment, and couldn't help but whisper: "The Marquis was acting in the past, and I was afraid that he would really treat me as a man. After all, I thought the Marquis treated me seriously."

Huo Weilou stared at her eyes, and his knuckles tightened, and he held her hands in his palm with some care. "I really don't want to let you know so quickly. If you hadn't been attacked that day, I'd be afraid I would have climbed for a few more days. It can be seen that you were seriously injured and almost on the line of life and death. I couldn't help it. If I told you earlier and would have a better understanding of you, you would not have had such a disaster."

Bo Ruoyou's heartbeats quickly, his eyes were soft and shiny, like a star falling into Minghu. "Ko... But the words of the Marquis only surprised me very much, such as the words of entrusted me, I... I dare not believe it."

Huo Weilou closed his hands tighter, and his eyes were unprecedentedly deeper. "You should believe me, just as you trust me in the form of a tolerance. I have no idea about marriage, but if I settle down, I will never regret it."

Seeing her expression a little moved, he said again: "Know clearly what you want, it is a gift and a nature. I want more stable and unshakable friendship than you."

Bo Ruoyou moved his lips, but his mind was held back by him, and his ears echoed. His voice was low, but every word was stern, which was unquestionable to hit her heart, causing her limbs and bones to tremble uncontrollably.

This is not the first time Huo Weilou said these words, but in the past she was shocked, respectful and fearful to him, and had many weighed the pros and cons, so she dared not respond to what he said. If he was a little stronger, she would be afraid that she would escape. Now that she was in a state of mind, she heard such open and clear words again, she felt that this was exactly what Huo Weilou should say.

How could a person like him hesitate and cowardly in love? And what he said was the stable, reliable and unshakable friendship, just like his indestructible appearance in her heart, which made her unstoppable heart-warming.

Bo Ruoyou swallowed with difficulty, "Mr. Marquis—"

Before she could continue, he held her hands tightly, "I know you don't understand your thoughts very well. This is nothing serious. I just want you to know what I am thinking. I am not just ambiguous with you, nor do you want you to be afraid and hesitate."

Bo Ruoyou's heart trembled slightly when he heard it. Huo Weilou swept over her faint blue color at the moment, got up and took off her shoes, and then made her lie on the bed, "Sleep, I won't leave here."

Bo Ruoyou's cheeks were flushed. He wanted to say something, but his heart was turbulent. He didn't know where to start, but he felt that the bedding was not clean, so he took off his robe and put it on her. Seeing her eyes clearly looking at him with black and white eyes, he leaned over, "If you don't sleep, I won't allow you to sleep."

Bo Ruoyou was startled and quickly closed his eyes. Huo Weilou stood up, looked at her for a moment, turned around and leaned against the head of the bed and did not go back to the chair. Although Bo Ruoyou was lying with his eyes closed, he could feel that Huo Weilou was just a short place. This small bed was almost shrouded in his breath, and her heart was full of peace.

Huo Weilou's shadow fell on her and blocked the dim light from the distance. She thought that Huo Weilou had just said, but in just a moment, she was sleepy and pulled her into the darkness.
