Chapter 259 Following the Scent to Catch the Murderer
Faced with the probing question from the old lady of the Sun family, Ye Shaohong denied it without hesitation.
joke.
He is not stupid.
It's Zhou Haichao whose identity has been exposed, not him, so why should he admit it?
If they admit it, they will have to face the accusations from the Sun family.
Ye Shaohong didn't want to cause himself any trouble.
After a brief response, Ye Shaohong did not linger and went directly to the courtyard where the third concubine lived.
Grandma Sun turned around and watched Ye Shaohong walk into the courtyard. Li Yunlong and Zhou Haichao stepped aside to make way for him, and the old lady couldn't help but shrink her eyes again.
Things quickly returned to normal.
"let's go!"
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the eldest daughter-in-law immediately went over, took the old lady's arm with one hand, and led the Sun family members away.
"This old lady wields a lot of power."
Zhuang Yifan witnessed the entire process and couldn't help but secretly marvel at the sight of those people walking away.
"It's normal."
"This is the traditional Chinese family."
“In ancient times, when the law did not extend to the countryside, the power of the leaders of powerful families was even greater than that of the law in their respective territories.”
Ye Shaohong chuckled softly, offering no further comment on the old lady of the Sun family, and stepped into the courtyard where the third concubine resided. Behind him, Zhuang Yifan tactfully closed the gate.
Led by Li Yunlong, the group entered the third concubine's bedroom together.
The moment he stepped inside, Ye Shaohong narrowed his eyes.
Looking up, he saw his third concubine, whom he had just met that afternoon, hanging high above the beam in his bedroom.
Her eyes were wide open.
They were practically glaring out of their sockets.
The long tongue dangling over the lower jaw is even more creepy and terrifying.
Even though Ye Shaohong had mentally prepared himself before entering, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.
Then he reached out and hugged Yu Manli.
Ye Shaohong also felt a little regretful.
If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have brought Yu Manli here. Seeing this scene, she'll have nightmares tonight.
"fine!"
"It's just a dead person, it's not like I haven't seen them before."
Yu Manli's expression did change, but she remained strong and did not cry out, nor did she have any intention of running away.
This finally put Ye Shaohong's worries at ease.
If we're talking about who performed the worst among them, it would be Zhou Haichao.
Despite being a veteran of the Special Service, he has risen to the position of deputy section chief of the Action Section at the Jiangcheng Station of the Special Service and has seen quite a few dead people.
He has taken more than a dozen lives.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Haichao immediately showed signs of vomiting.
He tried to hold on, but eventually couldn't hold it in any longer. He turned around and ran out to the locust tree in the courtyard, where he bent over and began to retch.
"That's it?"
"And the deputy head of the action section?"
Li Yunlong curled his lip, looking down on Zhou Haichao, and then stepped forward and directly took the third concubine down from the roof beam.
That's right, it was picked.
They lifted the third concubine's body from the wooden rope noose, as if picking something up or down.
The feeling was very strange; watching it being picked made one's hair stand on end.
Zhuang Yifan wasn't idle either.
Seeing Li Yunlong remove the body of the third concubine, he went into the bedroom and took the bedding from the bed.
It was laid flat on the ground.
Only then did Ye Shaohong get a closer look at the Third Concubine's appearance.
She is indeed a beautiful young woman who still retains her charm.
Unfortunately, her death was truly gruesome. Even if she was good-looking, with those wide-open eyes and long tongue, it lost its aesthetic appeal.
"Yifan, you are a martial artist, so you should have some understanding of the human body structure."
"We did not bring a professional forensic doctor with us this time."
"It's hard to find anyone with a medical school degree around here. Why don't you check it out for Third Madam?"
There is no other way.
Fortunately, Zhuang Yifan has this ability. He has been practicing Bajiquan since childhood, for more than ten years now, and has a thorough understanding of human anatomy.
Upon hearing Ye Shaohong's words, Zhuang Yifan immediately went over.
He crouched down and began a thorough examination. After a short while, Zhuang Yifan had finished examining the Third Concubine's entire skeletal structure.
"Team leader, the inspection is complete."
"I can confirm that the third concubine did not commit suicide."
"Instead, he was strangled to death by hand before he was born and then hung from the roof beam with a rope."
When he reached this conclusion, Zhuang Yifan briefly explained his method of judgment to Ye Shaohong.
For example, there were skin wounds, broken necks, the location of rope pulling, and the lack of struggle marks on the third concubine's neck.
His own unique set of theoretical knowledge aptly explained all the problems.
"Can you tell whether the person who killed the third concubine was a man or a woman?"
This was Ye Shaohong's biggest concern at the moment. "It should be a woman."
Without hesitation, Zhuang Yifan made his judgment, and when he answered, he deliberately twisted the neck of the third concubine's corpse.
It revealed the mark left by a fingernail.
"female?"
"That's troublesome. The Sun family these days has a lot of women, though."
"Leaving aside the maids, cooks, and old women, just talking about Sun Yihui's concubines, besides the seventh concubine who was locked up by the old lady, there are five others."
"These people could all potentially try to kill the third concubine."
As Ye Shaohong was pondering, he suddenly noticed that Yu Manli had left his side and walked towards the dressing table.
She started rummaging through the items on the dressing table.
Seeing this, Ye Shaohong was also intrigued. He walked over and stood behind Yu Manli, quietly watching her pick up rouge and gently sniff it.
A moment later, Yu Manli finally finished checking all the items on the dressing table.
A look of sudden realization flashed across her face at just the right moment.
"Anything discovered?"
"Ah."
Ye Shaohong's sudden question startled Yu Manli. She opened her mouth wide and first gave Ye Shaohong a reproachful look.
She then recounted her discovery.
"Shao Hong, as you know, I run a rouge shop in Jinling City."
"For this reason, I also know a little about rouge."
"When I first entered the room, I immediately noticed a strange fragrance. At the time, I thought it was the rouge that the third concubine had applied herself."
"Later, I heard Zhuang Yifan say that the person who killed the third concubine was a woman, so I had an idea and came to the dressing table to check the third concubine's daily necessities."
“I can confirm that the fragrance I smelled when I entered was not the rouge that the third concubine usually used.”
"On the contrary, it seems more like..."
