Chapter 110

The people in the back hall didn't have time to think about it, and hurried to the mourning hall in front.

I saw that Li Aotang's concubine had collapsed beside the golden coffin, her complexion pale as paper, she pointed at a black cat that was jumping up and down like crazy and shouted:

"My lord, there are wild cats! There are cats!"

When conducting autopsies, I was most afraid of cats jumping over the corpse. Firstly, I was afraid of causing the corpse to change; secondly, many fleas and mosquitoes on the cat would contaminate the corpse, which would have a great impact on the results of the autopsy and the direction of the subsequent case. .

The case was already full of fog, and the dead body was the key. If this wild cat of unknown origin was destroyed, what would happen?

At this moment, He Xixian couldn't control whether the dead body changed or not, so he just picked up the stick and swung it over:
"How dare you come here to act wildly!"

Seeing this, Tang Feng and Wei Qi did the same!

But for some reason, the black cat flew around the mourning hall like a maniac.In a blink of an eye, a dozen red, green and green paper-made boys and girls parked next to the coffin were knocked upside down, and the plain silk banners were scattered all over the ground.

Instead of hitting the beast with their sticks, they smashed the incense candles and dessert plates on the incense table to pieces.

Seeing the black cat jump up the beam again, and was about to bend down, Wei Qi felt that this was not an option, and wanted to call the brothers from the Shenji Camp to come in and help.

Unexpectedly, just as the black cat jumped up, it screamed and fell straight down.

"boom!"

Seeing that the cat corpse was like a rock, its whole body was already stiff.

"Hey, it was a false alarm." He Xixian took out a handkerchief from his lapel again, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted outside, "Someone! Throw this vile animal out!"

Several yamen servants came over upon hearing the sound, and were about to make a move, but were stopped by Lu Yungui.

"Wait a minute, let me see."

He had been observing the condition of the wild cat just now.

It is autumn now, and it is definitely not the season for livestock to be in heat, and it is obviously abnormal for this wild cat to be too excited.Immediately afterwards, after a short twitch, his whole body fell stiffly, making him more sure of his judgment.

This cat must have been poisoned by eating something.

Lu Yungui immediately asked the frightened concubine: "Is this cat like this when it came in just now? Or, what did you feed it?"

"Nujia, I didn't give it anything to eat!" The concubine sobbed and rolled her eyes, "Ah~ I remembered, this cat became like this after it jumped into Li Lang's coffin."

As she spoke, she said in horror again:
"Could it be that the cat came to disturb Li Lang's cleanliness because I came to worship with my body? Oh, why is my life so hard~~"

When He Xixian heard that this concubine was about to cry again, his head buzzed instantly, these women are really troublesome!

"That's enough! You all come here and cry every few hours, how can I decide the case!" He angrily called the yamen servant, "Come on! Take this woman out! Examine the body No one is allowed in until it's over!"

"Yes!"

After the concubine left, the entire mortuary finally fell silent.

Seeing that Lu Yungui looked at the cat corpse and didn't speak for a long time, He Xixian stroked his beard and poked his head over: "Did Doctor Lu find anything?"

"Look at the body first."

After Lu Yungui finished speaking, he lit atractylodes atractylodes and other things to decontaminate and deodorize, and took out a few pills of styrax from the medicine box, distributed them to several people and put them in their mouths. He put on his gloves and went to the coffin bed to check the corpse.

When his eyes fell on the corpse, Lu Yungui's whole body changed.

The warmth and elegance just now faded away, and concentration and solemnity emerged from his eyes.

The son of the Marquis of Dingbei was lying quietly in a black mourning robe with blessings and longevity patterns. It looked like he was wearing five collars and three waists. However, the weather is hot today and cool at night. It has only been a few days. The head, face and cuffs of the corpse leaked from the collar The leaked hands were already covered with scars and rotten beyond recognition.

"Why are you wearing mourning clothes so early?" Lu Yungui was a little displeased, and unbuttoned his clothes after speaking.

Fortunately, the decay inside the corpse was not serious. Apart from the bruises all over the body and the purple-black trauma, the five blood holes on the chest were the most obvious.

He learned from his brothers that the scarred man who died together in the Temple of Bliss was Tie Zhao Pulsatilla who stabbed him with his suddenly deformed five fingers and killed him with one blow.

The wounds of the deceased in front of him had neat edges, more like being wounded by sharp arrows.But the wound was extremely shallow and did not go deep into the internal organs, so it would not have killed the deceased in an instant.

"Tang Feng, since you were there that day, do you know when Li Aotang rushed out of the Temple of Bliss, and when did the news of his death come out?"

Tang Feng, who was watching, didn't dare to breathe heavily. After being named, he desperately recalled:

"I just watched from the hole in the roof that he was almost crushed to death by the pulsatilla. It took only a quarter of an hour before I heard shouts outside the door that he was killed."

"Oh, I see."

After Lu Yungui heard this, he put the mourning clothes of the deceased back in their place, but when he touched the cloth, he frowned suddenly.

this is?Water stains?
He immediately cut off a piece of clothing and put it in clean water.

All three of them held their breath and watched as Lu Yungui put the clear water under his nose and sniffed it.

Immediately after, a string of names of herbs that they didn't understand overflowed from his mouth: "Chuanwujian, Caowujian, Shengpinellia, Shengnanxing, Pipera, Toad Su, Pepper, Xinxi."

"What is this?" He Xixian blurted out when he saw his solemn expression.

Lu Yungui took off his gauntlet and began to pack the medicine box: "It's nothing, it's an anesthetic."

"Anesthetic?" The three spoke in unison.

"That's right. Based on the wild cat's reaction just now, I can conclude that this is a kind of drug that will give people a short-term excitement after ingestion, and then paralyze the body. It is usually used when taking arrows and lead bullets."

But he still wasn't sure: "But..."

"But what?"

"I just don't know how the murderer injected the anesthetic into his body, which can instantly paralyze the heart of the deceased, leading to his final death. And no sharp weapon was found at the scene of the crime, right?"

"This..." He Xixian racked his brains to recall, but he couldn't remember at all whether there were arrows scattered around Li Aotang at that time, or other things that could cause such wounds.

"The officer will take his leave first."

Lu Yungui didn't seem to want to chat with them, and hurriedly walked out the door, regardless of the other party's persuasion.

He suddenly remembered that a brother seemed to have mentioned to him that King Yu seemed to have been hit by lead bullets that day.

But before he stepped out of the door, he heard the sound of a few firecrackers coming from outside the house.

"boom!"

Sparks flew everywhere, instantly smashing the tiles of the mortuary and scattering them down.

"Doctor Lu be careful!" Tang Feng behind him flew forward and stopped Lu Yungui behind him.

At this time, Wei Qi flew out.
