Chapter 491 Male Corpse
On a winter night, the grass is quiet and there are no insects chirping.

Ling Yan stood for a long while, and did not return to the room to rest until the third watch was over.

At five o'clock, there was gradually movement in the east, and the dark clouds turned fish-belly white. Ling Yan got up and got dressed before the long wind came in.

"Your Highness, the Yamen has been contacted."

Ling Yan nodded, "Let's go."

Recently, an inexplicable murder case occurred in Louyue Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing. After several investigations by the government to no avail, the matter was reported layer by layer, and finally fell to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

When Emperor Zhao heard about it, he sent Ling Yan to deal with it.

In the past few days, he has been running outside the city, but he has gained very little.

Louyue Mountain is not well-known. There are often woodcutters to chop firewood, and there are no wild animals. There have been no problems in the past ten years. Recently, there have been frequent accidents, which always reveal a bit of weirdness.

After Ling Yan finished his meal, he rushed to the yamen.

Fu Yin Zao respectfully stood aside and waited, surrounded by yamen servants, all of them looked solemn.

"Another male corpse was dug up this morning?" Ling Yan went straight to the mortuary without stopping.

Fu Yin just wanted to stop him, but found that he had already strode far away, so he could only follow.

When the crown prince came in person, how could he not follow in?
Wu Zuo had just finished the inspection and was washing his hands. When he saw Ling Yan coming in, he quickly saluted.

Ling Yan raised his hand to signal him to stand up, and when he lifted the white cloth, a stench was emitted immediately, making him take a few steps back.

Ling Yanzai took a careful look, then covered the white cloth again, "What's the result?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the identities of these people have been confirmed. They are all nearby villagers, and the time of death is relatively close."

Ling Yan narrowed his eyes, "The fatal injury is the bloodstain on the neck?"

"Yes."

Wu Zuo said ten thousand words, "The wound was injured by a sharp weapon. Judging from the wound, it should be a sword. The technique is neat and killed with one blow."

In recent days, male corpses have been dug up, without exception.

Ling Yan frowned and remained silent.

The people around did not dare to disturb.

After a while, Ling Yan said to Chang Feng, "Go and check first, is this person the same as others and has no enemies."

"Yes."

Chang Feng was ordered to go out, Ling Yan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, called the man back, and lowered his voice, "Send someone to search Louyue Mountain, especially pay attention to whether there are any caves."

"My subordinate understands."

If there are several people with the same death status, and there is no enemy in the world, there is only one possibility.

That is, when chopping firewood, I saw something that shouldn't be seen, so I was silenced.

But Louyue Mountain is short and there is nothing unusual except that there is a Louyue Mountain Villa.

"Louis Moon Villa..."

These four words slowly overflowed from Ling Yan's mouth, turned around and walked out, leaving a few people in the yamen, and then took Luo Qi to Louyue Villa.

The villa is located at the top, surrounded by numbers, with mottled steps and covered with moss.

As Ling Yan walked up, he listened to Luo Qi's report on the situation of the villa.

"This villa was built six years ago. The owner's name is Bailiyu. His ancestral home is in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, his family was in trouble. The family was going to the capital to make a living. After passing through the village near Louyue Mountain, they settled down after several inquiries. There is also a pawnshop in the middle of the night."

Ling Yan didn't stop walking, "Continue."

"There are a total of more than 30 people in the villa. Besides Bailiyu's relatives, there are also some chivalrous men who have run away."

Ling Yan nodded, "This villa is a mixed bag."

While talking, people have arrived at the door.

Ling Yan looked at the entire building and structure of the villa, and had a general understanding of the owner's personality, so he asked Luo Qi to negotiate.
