   Chapter 310 Recognize the Corpse

  Liu Tuiguan shook his head: "There is no list. There are too many female guests going to Tianyuan Temple, and the female body had been dead for a while when she was found, so there is no way to start the investigation from the pilgrims."

   "On the basis of the scars on the female corpse's body, we can infer that the murder weapon is a hairpin, which does not rule out the suspicion of monks in Tianyuan Temple. Not to mention that hairpins are too easy to obtain, men can also use them to tie their hair, and there are many sharp things similar to hairpins..."

Liu Tuiguan's heart said that Prince Jing's words were really direct, because of the difference in identities between the two, there was no resentment: "The monks in Tianyuan Temple have asked about it, but he was found dead for at least a month, and it has not been found so far. Finding out his identity, it is impossible to find the suspect through investigation."

   Qi Shuo looked away from the case file: "The deceased who was discovered yesterday was killed not long ago, do you have any clues about his identity?"

   Liu Tuiguan smiled bitterly: "Because I lost my head, it was difficult to identify the identity for a while."

"Master Liu has asked the counties under his jurisdiction, especially the two Jingxian counties, to see if some people have reported their family members missing recently. If so, if the age and gender of the missing person can match that of the headless female corpse, they can ask for help. Come identify the body."

  Liu Tuiguan looked ashamed: "Yesterday, I was busy looking for clues at the scene, and I didn't return until it was dark, and I haven't had time to ask."

   He immediately arranged for people to go to two county offices for questioning.

  An official officer at Tianyuan Temple continued to investigate. Qi Shuo did not rush to the scene, but waited for news from the county government with Liu Tuiguan.

   The two county offices are in the capital, and it didn't take long for a reply.

  Dongcheng County reported five missing cases within three months, and Xicheng County reported three missing cases within three months. There were eight missing cases in total. Four cases of missing young children, two cases of girls, one adult man, and one old woman.

   Not to mention other circumstances, the two reporters who soon reported the girl's disappearance were invited to the government office.

   "I have seen Master Qingtian."

  Liu Tuiguan warmly called the two to get up.

  Two reporters, an old man in his fifties and a woman in her thirties.

   "The old man will talk about the situation of Ling's granddaughter first."

The old man rubbed his eyes, his voice was bitter: "Caomin's granddaughter is called Lan Hua, she is 16 years old this year. Five days ago, Orchid said she had an appointment with a friend to pick wild vegetables, and she didn't come back until it was dark. Caomin went to her friend's house. I asked, that girl said that the orchid picked a basket of wild vegetables and left first... Caomin couldn't find anyone everywhere, so she went to report to the official..."

  The old man said and knelt down: "Orchid's parents left early, so they left such a granddaughter to live with each other. I beg the adults to help Caomin find the granddaughter..."

   Liu Tuiguan reassured him and asked the woman again.

The woman's eyes were swollen, and she was obviously washing her face with tears these days: "The little woman's daughter is called Yan'er, and she is fifteen years old this year. The friends who played together said that they never saw her that day..."

   A woman's weeping sounded in the hall.

  Liu Tuiguan glanced at Qi Shuo, saw that the other party did not mean to speak, and sighed secretly: "Yesterday, a female corpse was found in Tianyuan Temple, and it is estimated that the age is between fourteen and twenty-"

   "Master, are you saying that Caomin's granddaughter has an accident?"

   "Yan'er, my Yan'er!"

   Liu Tuiguan hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, you two, please come here to identify the body."

   The old man and the woman looked at each other and looked at Liu Tuiguan.

   That look made Liu Tuiguan couldn't bear to look at it any longer, and reminded politely: "It's just that the corpse is a little scary, and the two of you must be prepared."

   "How terrifying?" the woman asked immediately.

  The old man was also staring closely at Liu Tuiguan.

  Liu Tuiguan hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "No head."

   No head?

   After the old man and the woman reacted, their faces turned pale, one was shaky, and the other covered his mouth and wept.

   The group came to the temporary parking place.

   It was a bright sunny day, but the morgue was cold and cold, which made one’s heart tremble.

  Liu Tuiguan stopped and didn't get any closer: "It's there, you two can go and have a look-"

  The old man took a few steps and could no longer walk, his whole body trembled violently.

   On the contrary, the woman was obviously too afraid, but she approached with heavy steps and walked to the corpse covered with white cloth.

  The yamen stretched out his hand to lift the white cloth, but was stopped by the woman: "I...I'll do it myself..."

  The yamen looked at Liu Tuiguan, saw Liu Tuiguan nod, and took a step back silently.

  The woman stared at the corpse through the white cloth, her eyes became more and more red, and finally she gathered enough courage to lift the shroud.

  Rao was mentally prepared, and the moment she saw the headless body, the woman couldn't help but screamed and backed away.

  The old man's eyes closed and opened, but he saw the corpse first.

   "It's not an orchid!" The old man shouted with joy.

   Liu Tuiguan immediately asked: "Why is the old man so sure?"

  The old man was a little excited, and tried his best to suppress his emotions, so that his expression was a little distorted: "My orchid is black and strong!"

  Although the female corpse has been corrupted, you can still see how a person is. This headless female corpse has slender hands and feet and delicate skin. It can be imagined that she is a girl with fair skin.

   "The orchid is strong, it's not an orchid, it's not an orchid—" The old man was incoherent, and when he saw the stunned woman, he suddenly stopped.

  The woman woke up like a dream, rushed over to support the board with her hands, and stared at the corpse.

   It only took a few breaths, and she burst into tears: "Yan'er, mother's Yan'er! How can you be like this, how can you be like this!"

   Seeing that the woman was about to pounce on the corpse, the yamen quickly stopped her.

   Qi Shuo walked over: "Sister-in-law, are you sure this is your daughter?"

   "It's not wrong." The woman covered her face with her hands, tears pouring out of her fingers, "Yan'er has a birthmark on her wrist, the position and shape are exactly the same..."

   Qi Shuo nodded to Liu Tuiguan.

  Liu Tuiguan understood and ordered his men to bring the old man and the woman back to the hall.

The    woman kept crying, and the old man became silent after the initial rejoicing.

   Even if the body recognized today is not a granddaughter, it does not mean that the granddaughter is safe, let alone seeing a mother who lost her daughter, no one feels good.

   "The old man can go back first, and this officer will arrange for someone to investigate the whereabouts of Ling's granddaughter."

   "Thank you sir." The old man kowtowed to Liu Tuiguan.

  In the capital, there are many people who go missing every year, especially young children. It is almost impossible to expect the government to find them, and many people will not even report to the government.

   As for murder cases, there are actually more unbroken cases than broken ones.

  The old man left, and only the woman was left crying. Liu Tuiguan wanted to ask questions several times. Seeing Qi Shuo waiting quietly, he patiently gave the woman time to vent his emotions.

   Finally, the woman stopped crying and rushed to the two of them and knelt down: "I beg the two adults to find the murderer who killed my daughter!"

  Qi Shuo helped the woman up and asked in a warm voice, "Do you still remember the exact time when your daughter went out?"

   It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when I went out to do errands yesterday, and I have to take the child to the hospital today, so the update time may be a little later these two days.
