Chapter 200 Murder in the Fire

Hearing the escorts, Zhang Zong, Di Renjie and others rushed over immediately. This place should be a large mansion. Even though the gatehouse was burned, many ruins were still preserved. The tall gatehouse was also burned into a pile of ruins. There was no way to enter through the main entrance. Zhang Zong and the others could only enter through the collapsed wall gap next to it.

A strong guard stood behind the ruins of the gatehouse. When he saw Zhang Zong and the others pointing to the ground, he said, "Please look at the censor, this burnt corpse is a bit strange!"

Di Renjie and Zhang Zong also immediately walked forward. They also saw some burnt corpses along the way, probably all died of fire, so it seemed nothing strange to see a burnt corpse here.

However, when Zhang Zong and Di Renjie squatted down to check, they soon discovered something abnormal. The charred corpse should have been lying on the ground when it died, so the back and limbs were burned into charcoal. However, when it turned over, the face was still intact, and the guards also spread the corpse's mouth apart, but the inside was very clean, not even a little black and gray.

"Censor, please see, according to the "Xiang'an Lu" released by the court, if it was a person who was burned to death, there would definitely be black and gray in his mouth and nose, but the mouth and nose of this charred corpse were very clean, so he was probably killed first and then burned to a charred corpse." The guard who found the corpse also introduced to Di Renjie excitedly.

"It's not bad, it seems that you have read Xi'an Lu very seriously!" Di Renjie immediately patted the other party's shoulder and said that Xi'an Lu was the booklet about autopsy written by Zhang Zong before. He was just considering his reputation, so he did not sign it. When Di Renjie presented it to the court, he also helped Zhang Zong hide it, saying that it was written by Anonymous, but many people suspected that it was written by Di Renjie himself.

When the guards heard Di Renjie's praise, he also looked excited. He was actually from Feinusi, but his position was much lower than Di Renjie. Now that he could get the praise from Di Renjie, he might be promoted in the future. This is not in vain that he had spent the painstaking efforts on the record of the wrongful revelation.

"Interestingly, a murder occurred in the fire scene. Have you noticed that this burnt corpse is very close to the gate, and it is heading towards the gate, as if it was killed when trying to escape from the gate?" Zhang Zong said to himself, touching his chin at this time.

"Vomit~" But at this moment, a sound of vomiting came from beside him, interrupting Zhang Zong's thoughts. When he turned his head to look, he found that Wan'er was lying in a pile of rubble and vomiting continuously.

Zhang Zong suddenly remembered that it was the first time Wan'er had experienced a scene of an autopsy. Although the charred corpse was not very terrible, it exuded a smell of barbecue. Coupled with psychological discomfort, it was no wonder that Wan'er vomited it out.

Zhang Zong immediately walked to Wan'er and patted her back. When she was almost vomiting, he opened the kettle and asked her to rinse her mouth with water. At this time, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I told you to go back a long time ago, but you didn't listen. Now you are suffering, right?"

"No... it's okay, Wan'er is not afraid!" Wan'er still said a little stubbornly at this time, but she didn't dare to get close to the scorched corpse half a step closer.

Seeing Wan'er's little face turned pale, Zhang Zong felt a little distressed. After immediately reminding her a few words, he came to the burnt corpse again. At this time, Di Renjie had already carefully checked the corpse, but the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

"How is it? Can you find out the cause of death?" Zhang Zong stepped forward and asked.

Di Renjie shook his head: "No, most of the corpse is burnt, the remaining chest, abdomen and face are still intact, but no wounds are found, so the cause of his death cannot be judged for the time being."

"Then let's go to the mansion to see if there are any other clues?" Zhang Zong thought about it and then suggested that although the fire might destroy all the evidence, he had to try to find it no matter what. Moreover, this street is the origin of the fire. In the dark, Zhang Zong felt that this murder case was likely to be related to the fire.

After hearing this, Di Renjie nodded, so the group took action separately. Zhang Zong and Wan'er were also equipped with another guard. Because Di Renjie was worried about Zhang Zong's safety, as for himself, he went into this huge mansion alone, just like other guards, to search for clues.

Zhang Zong was also looking at the situation of the mansion while walking. Although all the buildings were burned down, some rockery and walls remained. In addition, the mansion occupied a large area. From this, it can be judged that the owner of the mansion should be an official of a high level.

"Young master, look, this ground is so smooth!" At this moment, Wan'er suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and immediately ran to the dark ground excitedly and said excitedly.

Zhang Zong walked over at this time and found that the ground was reflecting. Although it looked black, it was actually very smooth. He reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be like touching a piece of glass, and the remaining temperature on it was even a bit hot.

"This should be glass. When the temperature of the fire is extremely high, some materials melt into liquid, and after cooling, they become like this." Zhang Zong explained in a low voice that some building materials such as stones and sand are actually the raw materials of glass. As long as the temperature is sufficient, it is not surprising to burn them into glass.

After Zhang Zong said that, he looked around again, and soon found several glass-shaped objects. It seemed that the fire here should be extremely fierce.

"Young Master!" At this moment, Wan'er suddenly exclaimed again, as if she was frightened. Zhang Zong also hurried over, but Wan'er covered her eyes and pointed at the pile of ruins in front of her.

Zhang Zong looked along Wan'er's fingers and saw a human head exposed in the ruins. The flesh on the surface had been burned out, revealing the black bones inside, which looked quite scary.

Zhang Zong immediately walked over and then looked at the head carefully. It was half buried in the ruins, and the flesh inside had not seemed to have been burned out yet. So Zhang Zong stretched out his hand and wanted to move the rubble and debris above it. Perhaps the corpse under the head was still preserved, and then he might find some clues from the corpse.

The guards next to them also came up to help, but what Zhang Zong never expected was that they had just moved the debris above the human head, but found that there was nothing under the head, and the expected corpse disappeared. Or in other words, there was no corpse under the head, it was just a lonely head.
