Chapter 41: Determine the identity of the deceased(1/2)

The next morning, a ray of morning light penetrated the window paper and reflected into Yun Yaru's face with freshness, causing her to wake up from her sleep.

"Hongye!" As soon as she called out, the door was pushed open from outside.

"Young Master, wipe your face first!" Hongye said, handing a brocade parfait to Yun Yaru.

After Yun Yaru washed up, Hongye combed her a simple bun.

"Did that painter Tong come yesterday?"

"Young Master, that painter Tong seems to be painting in the coroner's room." Hongye nodded.

Yun Yaru just asked, but she didn't expect that this person had come to the county government so early. It seemed that he was a person who kept his promises.

"I'll go over and take a look first, and come back for breakfast later." As he said that, Yun Yaru had already stepped out of the room.

When Yun Yaru came to the coroner room, she found that painter Tong was holding a golden pen and outlining something on the paper.

A figure blocked in front of Master Tong, forcing him to stop the movements in his hand and raise his head. Yun Yaru was dressed in men's clothing, very simple and elegant.

"Mr. Yun!"

"Master Tong, this county is just here to take a look." Yun Yaru nodded, left two pumpkin fan bags, and left here.

Painter Tong lowered his head and lowered his eyes. When he saw the pumpkin vermicelli bag on the table, he couldn't express his feelings.

I saw him fold back to the table and start drawing portraits on rice paper.

In a short while, a portrait was completed.

Then Painter Tong put down the Golden Pen, picked up the pumpkin vermicelli bag and started eating it in big mouthfuls.

Soon, the two pumpkin vermicelli bags were wiped out by him.

"Your painting skills seem to have not regressed." The old coroner's voice sounded.

"Old coroner, I make a living by painting. You say this and want me to lose my job." Painter Tong took a sip of the slightly cool tea.

"I didn't say that." The old coroner beat him up and refused to admit it.

In this way, it took almost half an hour for Painter Tong to draw all the portraits of these heads.

...

At this moment, A Shu's long-lost voice sounded.

"Congratulations to the host for discovering special talents."

"Ashu, you are talking about Painter Tong, are you?" Yun Yaru immediately reacted.

"The host is like you think. You don't know, because of your two pumpkin fan packs, it makes the painter Tong feel that you are different from other officials."

"Ashu, I don't believe it. You just want to say a few words to me." Yun Yaru looked disbelieved.

"This system is mainly looking for you to remind you that if you can take this artist named Tong for your own use, you will receive a good reward."

Yun Yaru thought about it and felt that if she could keep this artist Tong in the yamen to do things, she might provide some convenience for her in the future to solve the case. Besides, there are rewards, so why not do it?

"Ashu, will I be rewarded every time I encounter this situation in the future?" Yun Yaru asked curiously.

"Host, don't daydream." A Shu said like a basin of cold water, which immediately drank those unrealistic fantasies behind her.

...

"Brother Yun, I didn't expect you to get up so early every day."

"Brother Chu, your injury has not healed completely yet, why don't you rest more?"

"My body is fine!"

Seeing this, Yun Yaru didn't say much. The two soon came to the side hall. Zhan Zhao had just sat down. The three of them were eating pumpkin vermicelli bags and drinking the lean meat porridge in the bowl.

After a breakfast, the three of them quickly finished their meal in this warm and warm atmosphere.

"Let's go, I think Painter Tong should have painted all the portraits now, right?" Yun Yaru was a little uncertain. After all, she had only heard of them in her previous life.

"I'm going to see if he really can restore his head like the old coroner said?" Mu Zehao whispered.

Zhan Zhao was also the first time he heard about it, and he was very curious about it.

While the three of them were talking, they already appeared in the coroner room.

"Sir, I have already drawn all the portraits according to your requirements." When Painter Tong saw the figures of the three of them, he walked out with a smile.

The three of them opened the portraits separately and looked at them carefully. Unexpectedly, after the skillful hands of Painter Tong, they actually drew the portraits.

"I found that these portraits today look a bit dull." Yun Yaru always felt strange.

"Sir, after all, there is still a difference between painting a skull and painting a real person." Painter Tong quickly explained.

"It's amazing!"

Mu Zehao just took a quick look at him yesterday, but he didn't expect that he could really draw the appearance of the deceased, which made Mu Zehao feel unrealistic. It was really that this painter Tong painted it so vividly that he felt like he saw a real person.

He was very shocked. He didn't expect that there were such talents hidden in Yuxian County. It was said that the saying "The masters from ancient folks" were really good.

Zhan Zhao looked at Painter Tong and showed an incredible look, "Fortunately, we heard the recommendation of the old coroner, so we went to find Painter Tong and you come back."

Painter Tong smiled slightly, feeling happy that his painting skills were recognized by others, which was completely different from what he had painted for those people before.

"Okay! With your portraits, I believe we will be able to determine the identity of the deceased soon." Yun Yaru looked at Painter Tong with a smile.

"I will live up to the entrustedness of the Lord." Mr. Tong still looked modest.

"Master Tong, I wonder if you would like to stay in the county government?" Yun Yaru asked tentatively.

Painter Tong didn't expect Yun Yaru to say this, "Sir, can you allow me to go back and think about it carefully. I'm going to give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

Yun Yaru didn't think that Master Tong would reply immediately, so she nodded, "By the way, Master Tong, if the identity of the deceased cannot be determined, please draw a few more pictures tomorrow to facilitate searching."

After Yun Yaru finished speaking, the three of them did not stop and walked towards the study with these portraits.

"Don't worry, I'll come here again tomorrow." Painter Tong looked at Yun Yaru's back.

Yun Yaru just waved her hand back.

The three of them quickly stepped into the study.

"Let's hurry up and compare these portraits with those from yesterday to see if there are any similar ones." Yun Yaru said, already opening one of the portraits.

At the same time, Zhan Showa and Mu Zehao have already unfolded all the portraits yesterday.

...

"Brother Tong, go back and think about it. Our current Lord Yun is completely different from the previous county magistrates." The old coroner reminded him in a vague way.

"Don't worry, old coroner, I will definitely think carefully after I go back." Painter Tong was a little worried, "I just don't know if I agree, can I help others paint outside in the future."

"It's easy to say. You can ask Lord Yun personally tomorrow." Old Corps stroked his beard, "but I can remind you that if you agree to Lord Yun's request, you will not be drunk in the future."

"Don't worry, old coroner, I still understand this little brother." Painter Tong nodded and thanked, "Then I will say goodbye first."

After saying that, he began to hold back the guys he would have for the future.

...

"I didn't expect that we really found the identities of two of the dead in the portrait." Yun Yaru felt that it was beyond her expectations and expected.

It turned out that one of the two deceased was Lin Tingyi, the third lady of the Lin family, from Mr. Lin’s family.

But from this point of view, Caiyun and Caixia are obviously hiding something.

"Sir, can we send someone to inform these two families?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Yun Yaru hesitated a little, after all, the only head left of the deceased is left, and her face is so scary.

"Brother Yun, what are you afraid of?" Mu Zehao noticed that Yun Yaru's face was a little wrong and hurriedly said.

"I'm mainly afraid that the two families will come to recognize the body and find that the deceased has only a head, so they may not be able to accept it. At that time, if they faint in our county government because of this, it will be troublesome." Yun Yaru thought for a while and said it.

Zhan Zhao thought about it and felt that the situation Yun Yaru mentioned was really possible.

"Why don't you look for those who know how to make masks and see if they can make masks that look similar based on the portrait?" Mu Zehao said, unable to help frowning.

Yun Yaru thought about it, and finally asked someone to notify the relatives of the deceased as soon as possible.

"I originally wanted the deceased to look normal, but I thought about it and just told the deceased's relatives directly." Yun Yaru did not agree in the end.

"After a while, let Captain Xiao send someone to inform Lin Xinyi of his death, and bring Caiyun and Caixia back to the yamen. There is still something to ask about in the county." Yun Yaru said outward.

"yes!"

Mu Zehao looked at Yun Yaru for a while, "Brother Yun, don't you doubt that these two people have any handles that fall into Tan Mingyang's hands?"

"Brother Chu, if this is not the case, I can't think of why they were lying for the time being." Yun Yaru did feel a little strange.

"But sir, I can't figure out what the relationship between Mr. Lin and the old Tan family's bun shop?" Zhan Zhao frowned slightly.

"Then let's go to the side hall to wait for them. When asked, they should know the answer." As he said that, Yun Yaru took the first step to leave the study.

...

Not long after, Lin Xinyi's biological mother, Aunt Zhang, was helped in by a maid, and Qin Mingan's parents also rushed over.

"Sir, Caomin and his wife heard from the man who just said, "You have found our son." Qin Mingan's parents came into the house and knelt on the ground with a thump.
