Chapter 442 Remote Autopsy
The villain under Shan Tao immediately said: "Cui Fu Yin asked the little one to notify the street patrol! A female corpse was found under the Zhuque Bridge!"

Suzaku Bridge!
Shan Tao immediately shuddered!
Zhuque Bridge is the main bridge of the moat of Nanya. Officials working in Nanya must pass through Zhuque Bridge to enter the imperial city of Nanya.

The moat under the Zhuque Bridge is also the moat that surrounds the Nanya palace wall. The body was found under the Zhuque Bridge. This case is no small matter!

You must know that ordinary people have no way to get close to Zhuque Bridge.

How did the prisoner put the body under the Zhuque Bridge?
Shan Tao immediately got on his horse and rushed to Zhuque Bridge with his bad guys.

When Shan Tao arrived, the officials from the Jingzhao Mansion and the Wu Zuo from Chang'an County were already present, and the sharp-eyed Shan Tao even saw Jing Zhaoyin's carriage.

Shan Tao immediately walked over and said, "Meet Dayin."

Cui Guangyuan opened the curtain of the carriage and motioned for Shan Tao to go in and talk.

Shan Tao got into the carriage, saw Cui Guangyuan's sad face and said:

"The corpse was found under the Suzaku Bridge. Yushitai has already started to impeach the government. The street patrol envoy, you and I are running out of time."

The body was found under the Zhuque Bridge, and the nature of the body of the prostitute found in Jinggong Square is completely different.

The other party can kill people and hide their corpses under the Zhuque Bridge, so can they also assassinate the court officials under the Zhuque Bridge?

And when the emperor returned to Chang'an, he had to walk through Zhuque Street through Mingde Gate, cross Zhuque Bridge, and then enter Taiji Palace through Chengtian Gate.

Does that mean that the perpetrator could also assassinate the emperor on the Suzaku Bridge?

Jing Zhaoyin, as the person in charge of public security in Chang'an, Cui Guangyuan will naturally take the blame.

Unexpectedly, Cui Guangyuan was in a bad mood when he encountered such a case just after taking office.

Shan Tao said calmly: "Da Yin, I want to see the corpse."

"The corpse is right next to the Zhuque bridge, you should take a good look."

Shan Tao immediately walked to the edge of Zhuque Bridge. Cui Guangyuan was also a thoughtful official. He ordered the servants to draw the curtain to block the corpse.

Shan Tao immediately used the video function in the game to contact Song Ya in Longyou.

"Old Song, you must help me with this case!"

Song Ya already knew the urgency of the case, and he said to Shan Tao: "You follow my instructions to inspect the corpse, and you must be careful not to damage the scene."

"understand!"

"Do you have tweezers with you?"

"Well, no, can chopsticks work?"

"Alright, find a few more clean white porcelain plates, and follow my instructions to examine the corpse at a slower pace."

Shan Tao ordered his men to find white porcelain bowls and plates from nearby restaurants, and a pair of chopsticks. He took a deep breath and pushed aside the curtain, walking to the corpse.

There were some water stains on the body, and there was already a faint smell on the body, and maggots could even be seen in the carrion.

But most of the corpses were well preserved, the skin was shriveled and yellow, and it seemed that they had been dead for a while.

Song Ya said to Shan Tao through remote video: "First ask about the situation, how the body was found, and how it was when it was found."

Shan Tao called the soldier who found the body at that time, and the soldier said in shock:
"I am Wang Dalang, the right guard guarding the Zhuque Bridge. I am on duty today. Today Zhang Si of Dali Temple is taking Qian Niuwei out of Nanya on business. While crossing the Zhuque Bridge, I suddenly heard something falling into the water."

"Zhang Sizheng thought that someone had fallen into the water, so he asked us to search under Zhuque Bridge, but we didn't expect to find such a corpse."

Shan Tao looked at Zhuque Bridge and asked, "In other words, this corpse has been tied under Zhuque Bridge?"

The soldier of the right guard was pale, and he was on duty these days, that is to say, he guarded the Zhuque bridge with the corpse tied up for several days.

Thinking of this, Wang Dalang couldn't help but feel nauseous.

He is also a soldier who has been on the battlefield, but killing an enemy on the battlefield is still different from this kind of brutally murdered corpse. Wang Dalang only felt his stomach churning.

Shan Tao asked Wang Dalang to go to the side to rest first, and he said to Song Ya, "Old Song, you heard me."

Song Ya, who was far away in Shazhou, said: "My guess is correct. The corpse was embalmed before being tied under the bridge, so most parts did not rot, and because of this, there was no rancid smell."

"The corpse is probably not tied tightly. The Zhuque Bridge is a busy bridge. Qianniuwei escorted Dali Temple's temple out of Nanya on business. It may have caused the resonance of the bridge, causing the ropes that bound the corpse to fall off, and the corpse fell. into the water."

Shan Tao nodded. Song Ya really had two brushes. His speculation also explained why the body was found.

Shan Tao asked, "Shall we start the autopsy now?"

Song Ya said, "Don't worry! Just look at the corpse first, let me take a good look."

Shan Tao moved the camera carefully, aiming at the slowly moving corpse.

Song Ya said, "Stop!"

Shan Tao immediately stopped the camera, and Song Ya said, "This is the arm. This should be the part that was missed by applying the antiseptic. This piece of meat is already rotten."

Shan Tao endured the nausea, the piece of meat had rotted and turned black, and it was a little rotten after soaking in the water of the moat.

Song Ya said: "Now cut the meat with a knife, be careful, and then use chopsticks to pinch the maggots out of the meat."

Hearing what Song Ya said, Shan Tao almost vomited.

"Old Song, do you want to play so perverted?"

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want me to help?"

"I'm coming!"

Suppressing his nausea, Shan Tao took all the maggots out of the carrion and put them into a white porcelain bowl.

"Go on, you find the carrion on the body, and then pinch all the maggots out for me."

Shan Tao endured his nausea, and after finally pinching out the maggots from the entire corpse, he couldn't help asking:
"Old Song, what are you doing with this thing?"

Song Ya said: "Analyze the time when the body dies."

"That's okay too? Is it accurate?"

Hearing someone questioning his professionalism, Song Ya said:

"For the maggots to hatch, the corpse needs to be dead for three days. I just checked the samples of all the maggots in the corpse. The largest one is a three-day-old maggot, so the corpse should have been dead for about six days."

Hearing Song Ya's analysis, Shan Tao was already dumbfounded. Is the forensic doctor so awesome?
Song Ya said: "Actually, this analysis is also a rough analysis. I don't have a control group for the growth rate of maggots under the temperature and humidity in Chang'an, but this accuracy is enough for you."

"Enough is enough!"

Shan Tao said excitedly, knowing that the corpse had already begun to rot and had been embalmed by the murderer, even the Jingzhao Mansion's officials could not determine the time of death.

Song Ya was able to analyze the time of death from the maggots in the corpse, which already surprised Shan Tao.

"Okay, now the formal autopsy begins, you first cut open the abdomen of the deceased."

"Yes, take your time, wait, the internal organs of this corpse have been emptied!?"

Shan Tao immediately stopped, and sure enough, the abdominal cavity and chest cavity of the entire corpse were empty, and all internal organs were gone.

Shan Tao first went to the dead man without a liver in Jinggong Square, and he exclaimed, "Is it really a serial murder?"

Under Song Ya's guidance, Shan Tao inspected the corpse, and then ordered the government officials to send the corpse back to the morgue in Jingzhao Mansion with a serious face.

He recruited Wang Dalang, a soldier of You Xiaowei, again.

Shan Tao asked Wang Dalang kindly: "Wang Dalang, were you also guarding the Zhuque Bridge six days ago?"

Wang Dalang immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, this job of guarding the Zhuque Bridge is on a rotating duty. We were not the ones guarding the Zhuque Bridge six days ago."

"Who is that?"

"Six days ago, the right guard of the Eastern Palace was in charge of guarding the Zhuque Bridge. We were handed over two shifts ago."

"The right guard rate of the Eastern Palace?"

Wang Dalang said: "The Zhuque Bridge is guarded by the South Yamen Guards and the East Palace Guards in rotation."

Shan Tao suddenly realized.

The location of Zhuque Bridge is crucial. You Xiaowei is an armed force belonging to Nanya, and it is an army under the complete control of Zhengshitang.

In the Shenlong coup that forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, it was You Xiaowei controlled by the prime ministers who played an important role.

But the location of Zhuque Bridge is crucial, and it is completely under the control of Nanya, so the emperor probably won't be able to sleep.

The right guard rate of the Eastern Palace is an armed force directly under the Eastern Palace.

The Eastern Palace and the Prime Minister restrain each other, which is the balance technique of Datang.

Hearing that the person who was on duty at the Zhuque Bridge six days ago was someone from the East Palace, Shan Tao's heart skipped a beat.

If Song Ya's deduction is correct, then the body was placed under the bridge six days ago.

Fixing such a corpse under the bridge, but the soldiers on duty at the time did not report any abnormalities, it seemed very suspicious.

Shan Tao immediately stepped out of Zhuque Bridge and came to Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan's carriage.

"My lord, I want to summon the soldiers led by the right guard of the East Palace who was stationed at Zhuque Bridge six days ago!"

Cui Guangyuan heaved a long sigh when he heard Shan Tao's words.

The guard rate of the Eastern Palace is the guard directly under the Eastern Palace.

To interrogate the guards of the East Palace will inevitably offend the prince.

But this case has reached this point, and if the investigation is not continued, I am afraid that my official position will be lost.

Jing Zhaoyin Cui Guangyuan gritted his teeth and said:

"You take the warrant of the prefect, and go to the East Palace to summon the guards who were on duty at the Zhuque Bridge that day!"

"Order!"

Shan Tao led the bad guys towards the East Palace on the east side of the imperial city.

At the same time, in the East Palace, Dou Shen, the confidant of Li Chu, Prince Guangping of the Tang Dynasty, was pacing back and forth at the door of a newly built alchemy room.

Dou Shen walked around a few times, gritted his teeth and called out a confidant guard.

"Deal with the soldiers who were guarding the Zhuque Bridge that day."

The confidant Chi asked: "Dong Gongwei is the elite who is carefully selected and trained by His Highness, do you want to report to His Highness?"

"His Highness is not in Chang'an City, it's too late to report now, do it quickly, be quick with your hands and feet, and don't let yourself be caught."

"As ordered!"
