C77 (1/2)
The sun was not too hot at this time of the year.
A few officials dug up the grave, and a foul stench immediately wafted out.
The stench of the dead made some of the officials gasp for breath, but they had to bite the bullet and carry the coffin out of the grave.
Su Li indicated for the Da Wa to stand far away from him. He took a deep breath and walked over to the coffin.
As the lid of the coffin was opened, a gust of black Qi blew into her face. She covered her mouth and nose and looked inside.
The body inside the coffin was already rotting and reeking.
In some places the soft tissue was weathered, in others the bones were exposed.
Beside the corpse, there was something that looked like human tissue. She put on a pair of gloves and carefully unrolled the pile of tissue.
The tenacity of the organization was still there, so when it was completely activated, Su Li's head exploded with a ”weng” sound.
It was a piece of human skin that had only reached the chest!
If you looked carefully, the human skin was not complete, and there were many places that were broken. However, according to the broken parts, and looking at the bones, you could see that the human skin was still on the bones and had not been peeled off.
Just as she had speculated, the culprit's skills were not proficient in the beginning, but through practice, he was able to peel off human skin like what Hu Guangzhuo did.
”How is Fourth Miss?” Wang Quanan asked.
Su Li sighed, took off his gloves, and walked back to the group.
”Just as I had speculated, Zhang Xian Ren had also been skinned, and the culprit had become proficient in the crime. I'm afraid it's been more than two to three months.”
”What?” Wang Quanan didn't react for a moment as he stood there in a daze.
When the Widow Zhang and the Da Wa heard this, they couldn't help but rush towards the coffin and call for their husband and father.
However, they were just commoners after all. When had they ever seen such a severely rotten corpse?
Seeing the situation inside the coffin, Widow Zhang immediately fainted. He did not dare look and threw himself at his mother's side and cried.
Su Li quickly ordered the two officials to carry Widow Zhang back.
She pinched someone for a while before she slowly woke up.
The moment he woke up, Widow Zhang immediately grabbed onto Su Li's arm tightly, ”My husband … Was he really skinned? ”Dead without a complete corpse?”
Su Li pursed her lips and nodded.
Hearing this, Da Wa clenched his fists tightly and kneeled in front of Su Li, ”Fourth Miss, please take the culprit away and avenge my father. I can sell myself to you as your slave and listen to your orders.”
Su Li bent over and helped him up, ”Men have gold under their knees, do not kneel down easily, understand?”
Da Wa did not understand too much, but he still nodded, ”I will listen to whatever Fourth Miss says.”
Su Li really liked this child. Just as he was about to retract his hand, he caught a glimpse of his ten slender fingers from the corner of his eye.
Although the skin on his hands was rough due to doing rough work, it did not affect his spirit in the slightest.
She curled her lower lip but did not say a word. Instead, she bent down and helped the crying Widow Zhang up.
”Fourth Miss, you must avenge my husband …”
”I will!” Su Li nodded seriously, he looked at the officials and said, ”Send the coffin to Yi Village first.”
”Yes.”
”Fourth Miss, now that this case has become like this, what should we do next?” Wang Quanan regained his senses, and started to complain.
”If you don't know when the first crime was committed, you won't be able to determine the direction of the investigation. That way, you can find a few bodies that were buried within six months and check to see if they were skinned. According to the result, scale the time, and make sure the time the murderer committed the first crime.”
”Alright.” Wang Quanan nodded.
Just then, Song Lai caught up and ran over covered in sweat.
”Fourth Miss, am I late?” He panted as he spoke.
”It just so happens that the corpse is going to be sent to the Yi Village, so you should follow the officials back to the Yi Village. As for other things, I'll explain in detail to you during the autopsy.”
