"Yes!" After hearing Su Xuan's instructions, Xiaojing naturally did not dare to waste any time. He immediately followed Su Xuan with a pen and paper in hand and came to the horse lying on the ground.

Lu Feng and the others immediately surrounded the scene to prevent anyone from disturbing the scene. Although there were few people here, their professional habits allowed them to do these things instinctively.

Naturally, the boss and the third master did not dare to neglect. For Su Xuan's safety, they arranged another layer of siege around Lu Feng and the others to ensure Su Xuan's absolute safety.

With the protection of these people, Su Xuan could do things without any worries, so Su Xuan immediately came to the body that fell to the ground together with the horse.

The whole body was curled up. This may be related to the time when the horse came along and was hung on the horse's back. Otherwise, it would not be lying on the ground in this posture.

Su Xuan carefully examined the deceased's head and found that there were no injuries on the head, but there were blood stains on the eyes, nose, ears and mouth.

The deceased had been dead for a long time, but the blood flowing out of the seven orifices was still fresh. However, the blood stains were different from the blood usually seen. It seemed to be thinner and not as dark in color.

There was a piece of wood left on the deceased's chest. This piece of wood ran across the chest and passed through the chest. The strange thing was that the piece of wood had no cutting edge and had flat saw cuts at both ends.

"Miss, how did he die?" Xiao Jing looked at everything in front of her. She had many doubts in her heart, but she could not find any cause of death, so she was very curious about what happened to this body.

"The deceased was a male, about forty years old. He was dressed in luxurious and bright clothes. He did not look like an ordinary person. He seemed to be an official. There was no edge on the wooden block across his chest. It seemed that the cause of death was this wound and the murder weapon.

But it's not the pier. If the inference is correct, the murderer should have killed the deceased first, then dug out such a wound and inserted the pier into the circular wound." Su Xuan simply explained all the findings.

came out.

"Since you have killed the deceased, why do you need to create such a wound across the pillar? Isn't this unnecessary?" Xiaojing was a little confused. The murderer would kill if he wanted to. With just one knife, he could take someone's life.

, and why do these things need to be done after the death of the deceased? Doesn’t the murderer find it troublesome?

"When the deceased appeared here, he was carried by a horse. At that time, the body was almost hanging horizontally on the horse's back. I don't know how long it was hung. From the surface, the time of death of the deceased should be three days ago.

, because corpse spots have appeared on the body of the deceased, but what is strange is that the deceased is still bleeding from the seven orifices at this moment, so strange!" Su Xuan continued.

At present, she has not found the correct time of death of the deceased, so further verification is needed.

"Sir, could this be some kind of sacrificial ceremony?" Lu Feng heard this and immediately said to Su Xuan, as if he had thought of something, so he said such words to Su Xuan at this time.

.

"This is very possible, but now that the imperial decree is there, things like living sacrifices have long been banned, let alone living human sacrifices!" Su Xuan said to Lu Feng immediately.

Although this possibility is relatively high, she believed that under the strict control of the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, human sacrifice should not occur, so she said such a thing.

"We don't know the identity of the deceased, nor why he was killed, and this is an unknown place. We don't even know where this body came from. What should we do?

Check it?" Lu Feng knew that Su Xuan would not ignore the murder case, so at this moment he did not say anything else, but he was worried that there would be no way to start the case.

"It has rained here in the past few days and the road is still a bit slippery. Since the body followed the horses here, we can search by following the horse's hoof prints. Maybe we can find clues along the way." Su Xuan said immediately.

.

She felt that the only breakthrough in this case was the horse, and she just hoped that the horse's hoof prints left along the way could give them a direction and find some clues.

"Understood, I will follow your instructions and investigate at the front!" Lu Feng immediately understood what Su Xuan meant and said to Su Xuan immediately.

After saying this, he took the four detectives together to look for the hoof prints left by the horses, hoping to find some clues as soon as possible to facilitate the detection of this case.

"Third Master, ask the brothers to take this body to our accompanying carriage and continue walking towards the front!" Su Xuan saw that Lu Feng and the others had already taken action, so she immediately said to the Third Master beside her.

She asked the Guards to put the body away until there were clues, leaving a piece of evidence for them to continue investigating.

"Yes!" The third master did not hesitate, and immediately called on the two Guards soldiers to put the body away, and then called on the team to follow Su Xuan and the others on the road, heading in the direction where the horse came from.

Although it has rained here and the road is slippery enough to leave horse hoof prints, which is convenient for Su Xuan and the others to track along the way, this is an official road and countless cars and horses pass by.

Finding the mark of the horse in the footprints is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

This put Lu Feng and the others who were in charge of the search at the front in a dilemma. They looked at each other not knowing what to do, and then turned back to Su Xuan's cavalry.

"Sir, this is an official road. There are many imprints of carriages and horses at the front, and we can't find the hoofprints of that horse." Lu Feng immediately reported the difficulty to Su Xuan.

You must know that they are all ordinary people, and it is impossible to know that there are more ways to verify this, so they can only come back and report the situation to Su Xuan first.

"That's the same thing!" After hearing Lu Feng's report, Su Xuan immediately lifted the curtain, poked her head out of the carriage and looked at Lu Feng and said. It seemed that she also knew the difficulties involved, so she did not blame Lu Feng and the others for their work.

Ineffective.

"Miss, this horse and body have been walking on the road for so long. I don't believe that no one discovered or saw it along the way. Why don't we ask the surrounding villages to see if they have noticed anything unusual!" Xiao Jing immediately came up with an idea.

, as if the answer is right in front of her eyes, it depends on whether Su Xuan is willing to accept her opinion.
