When Luo Xuening and his group arrived at the woods outside the city, there was already a group of people there. When they got closer, they found that it was Fang Jinyu.

As soon as Fang Jinyu saw Long Moxun approaching, he took the lead in bowing respectfully, which really proved what Long Moxun said that day that he was very polite.

But Long Moxun was also a jerk. In front of Fang Jinyu's men, he didn't even give him the slightest bit of face and walked straight to the crime scene, leaving Fang Jinyu with sparkling eyes.

No one could guess what Long Moxun was thinking at this moment. He was blaming Fang Jinyu, but he was too embarrassed to say, "Just bow, bow. Your smiling face towards Luo Xuening is very annoying to me. Do you know that?"

Fang Jinyu was not surprised, after all, Long Moxun was not used to it, so the task of easing the atmosphere naturally fell on Luo Xuening.

"Master Fang, why are you here?"

She had heard of serial murders, but she had never seen an investigator run into a case. This was really a narrow road for enemies to cross.

"Xue Ning, I'm investigating a case of trafficking of women and children, and the deceased may have been thrown out during the trafficking process."

Upon hearing this affectionate title, Prince Jing, who was striding forward, suddenly felt his back stiffen. He felt very uncomfortable listening to this title.

Luo Xue Ning is Luo Xue Ning, why is it so easy to call her that? How idle is the Six Gates? I will find something for you to do.

Unfortunately, Fang Jinyu, who was smiling like a spring breeze, had no idea of ​​Prince Jing's intention at this time. He just called her Xue Ning and Xue Ning affectionately. Then Long Moxun's secret guards heard their own prince mutter, "You are so idle."

The secret guards were startled and immediately got ready. "Your Highness, we are not free, we really are not free, please don't add any more tasks to us."

Luo Xuening had heard that recently there was a criminal gang in Nanshao that specialized in abducting women and children. This gang committed crimes across borders, selling people from Nanshao, Dongfeng and Xilin to various places, and trading with other countries. In this way, their activities were very frequent. However, it was very difficult to catch this gang that was not under the control of the three countries.

"But Your Majesty, why are you also investigating this case?"

Luo Xuening looked confused, she knew that Long Moxun was investigating a closed-room murder case, which had nothing to do with the transnational human trafficking case. It was really lucky for these two people that they were involved in the same case.

Fang Jingyu's guard glanced at Luo Xuening dimly. "Dear girl, please don't make yourself unhappy. After all, Prince Jing even ignores our parents, so how can he answer your questions?"

However, Long Moxun only coughed lightly, his eyes still fixed on the coroner who was performing the autopsy: "I have received news that the identity of the deceased is suspicious, so I came to inquire about it."

It was just an explanation, but it was enough to prove Luo Xuening's status in Long Moxun's heart, which was at least above Fang Jingyu. The people brought by Fang Jingyu lowered their heads in embarrassment. When it came to slapping someone in the face, they only respected Lord Prince Jing.

However, Long Moxun also said that he was just asking questions. As for how Fang Jinyu would investigate, Long Moxun didn't care at all. He only cared about the identity of the deceased.

Long Moxun waved his hand, signaling the coroner to come forward. Luo Xuening glared at him, "What the hell? It's just such a small matter. Is it necessary for you to bring yourself here? I'm not as free as you think."

Squeezing through the crowd, Luo Xuening saw the dead body lying on the ground.

The deceased was a young woman. Her face was recognizable and she appeared to have not been dead for long.

When Luo Xuening and the others arrived, the body had already been lowered from the tree by Fang Jinyu's men. When the body was found, it was hung on the tree with a hemp rope. After the body was lowered, the hemp rope that served as the weapon was also placed aside.

Luo Xue Ning felt her scalp tingling as she looked at the hemp rope that was as thick as a thumb. She couldn't help but think of the various tools she had found in Wang Wu's yard two days ago, including hemp ropes, thin ropes of varying sizes and thicknesses, and it seemed that this weapon was among them.

Luo Xuening looked at the deceased again. Her eyes were wide open in horror and bloodshot. From a distance it looked like tears were flowing from a corpse's eyes. Her body was covered with all kinds of scars and blood. The deceased had been abused before her death.

Of course, this is only Luo Xuening's preliminary judgment, and the specific details will have to wait for the results of the coroner's examination.

"Sir, the body died last night. The deceased had been severely abused before. There were lacerations on the soles of the feet. Before death, he must have escaped and was caught during the escape. In addition, the deceased's face was swollen, and he must have taken some kind of drug before death."

This is the coroner brought by Fang Jinyu. The diagnosis he made was based on the fact that the deceased was one of the women who was trafficked.

Fang Jinyu nodded, and he waved his hand, and the guard came forward and unfolded a scroll, on which was a portrait of a young woman.

"Can you identify this person?"

Although the deceased had been abused and had many injuries on her body and face, the coroner was able to find that the deceased's face was basically the same as the woman in the painting after careful identification.

However, the deceased's face was swollen, her eyes were sunken and cloudy, and it seemed that she had not had a good time before her death, so she looked miserable and not as stunning as the woman in the portrait.

The coroner sighed, what a pity for this beauty.

"My Lord, it is the same person."

"This is the daughter of the Duke of Anguo. Who would have thought that she would be sold here by a trafficker and die tragically in this desolate place."

Fang Jinyu lowered her voice, a trace of regret flashed in her eyes: "Someone go inform the Anguo Mansion and ask them to come and identify the person."

It is reported that the young lady of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion disappeared half a month ago. In the past few days, the Duke of Anguo's Mansion has been sending people to look for this young lady, and even drew many missing person notices, but in the end there was no news. Now that her figure has finally been found, she is already gone, forever.

On the other hand, Fang Jinyu ordered people to check the surroundings for traces of pursuit. The fact that the deceased could run here at least showed that the human trafficking gang had appeared nearby. This was a great opportunity for them.

"Can you tell the exact time of her death and the actual cause of death?"

By finding out the exact time of the body's death, we can infer the exact time when the criminal gang left. The body had wounds and traces of drugs, and when it was found, it was hung on a tree. The real cause of her death is a mystery.

Fang Jinyu has handled countless cases over the years. He is relatively familiar with the coroner's examination process. He also believes that this should be within the coroner's capabilities, especially from what he has learned so far.

If the deceased was really caught by the human traffickers while escaping, then they should have taken her back without leaving any trace instead of leaving her body in the wilderness.

Moreover, the way of exposing the body seemed a bit strange. According to Fang Jinyu's understanding of these traffickers, these traffickers were always extremely vicious. In the process of selling, it was common for them to beat to death or injure a few disobedient people. So, why did they go to the trouble of hanging the body on the tree? Were they waiting for them to discover it?

However, the coroner brought by Fang Jinyu was stunned. The body was in the woods outside the city, where the temperature always fluctuated. He could infer the time of death from the stiffness of the body, but he could not be sure at what time the body died.

.

Fang Jinyu's coroner was very embarrassed for a moment. In front of so many people, he couldn't answer, which was a huge slap in his face.

He bowed to Fang Jinyu and said, "Sir, please allow me to check again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old coroner brought by Long Moxun was seen walking towards this side. When the two met, Lord Fang's coroner could still receive the provocative look from the old coroner.

Humph, why are you so proud? Did you figure it out?
