The punishment of the female imperial court

Chapter 19 Autopsy, full of doubts

Lin Shen leaned over and asked in surprise, "Are you going to do the autopsy yourself?"

Boyi had never seen any corpse before, so he was naturally not afraid, so he came over to stand with Lin Shen.

Yuqiansi lowered her head in a deep expression and said nothing.

The condition of the corpse was really bad. After being pressed down by the stones in the house, the limbs were directly exposed to the fire and almost charred.The prone position before death did not preserve his face.His head was covered with a black layer, and it was not known whether it was the hair or the scalp.

However, because the body and back were pressed by stones, there were still some places that were not damaged by the fire.

"There is no ash in the mouth and nose, there are blood clots protruding from the back of the brain, there is a lump on the forehead, and there are many purple corpse spots on the undamaged chest and back, which should be caused by heavy pressure after death."

As long as the mouth and nose are clean, it is clear at a glance.

"That's right, the deceased should have died of severe blows to the front and back of the head. After death, the body was burned. If there hadn't been this fire, maybe some traces could be found in the nails."

The people from Annan County quickly and carefully recorded what Yuqiansi said.

"Huh? What is this?" She turned to the back of her neck, making her a little confused.

The back of the neck of the deceased was just pressed by numerous stone carvings, and the skin color could be vaguely discerned.There seems to be a flower-like mark in the middle of the back of the neck. The color has been dimmed by the smoke, but its shape can still be seen.

Seeing this, Lin Shen found a clean wet handkerchief and wiped it lightly.It can be seen that its color is bright pink, as if someone pinched a flower with a fingernail.

birthmark?

Everyone was puzzled.

"What about the time of death?" Bo Yi hurriedly asked, this was what he was most concerned about.

Yuqiansi was also very curious, and tried to pull the eyelids of the corpse, but found that both eyes were burned, and there was no way to start.

There was a chuckle coming from behind, you don't need to turn your head to know it's Boyi, the corner of Yu Qiansi's mouth let out a slight smile, rarely annoyed.

"It's burning again, and pouring water, so the freezing reaction is beyond count. Do you think it's so easy to tell the time of death?"

Lin Shen wanted to see Yu Qian sweeping away thousands of troops, and was a little anxious, "What should I do then?"

Yu Qiansi stood up slowly, with a look of "don't panic", and called out loudly: "Follow the wind!"

Come with the wind.

Seeing that she was indifferent, she instructed earnestly of course: "Take the corpse quickly to Xiao Zhang, and wait there for him to check the time of death, and then bring him back to his life."

Looking up at the sky, he said again: "He is probably still sleeping at this point, remember to bring him some delicious food."

All the people present were stunned when they heard the words, and looked at Yu Qiansi with a well-thought-out look and a look of his own.

"."

Is this over?

It was Lin Shen who was the most courageous, and couldn't help opening his mouth: "Don't you need little Yilun to help?"

Yu Qiansi smiled "hehe", and said, "I just need to know the traces of the corpse and the situation at the scene. The real time of death is the next thing I need to know. There is no rush."

After all, with this copper water pestle placed here, it doesn't matter when the deceased died, what is important is that the murderer wants everyone to think when he died.

Suifeng has long been used to Mr. Si Yin's various strange thoughts, he grinned and took the order to leave.

Yu Qiansi's eyes swept across the grass, and landed on a sudden black spot by the pond.

When I got closer, I saw that it was also wet.Taking a closer look, she bent down and picked up a small piece of cotton rope that had been stained by muddy water and black ash so that its original color could not be discerned.In line with the idea of ​​"making the best use of everything", he waved to Bo Yi.

"Come and smell it for me, what's on this cotton thread?"

Boyi glared: Do you treat me like a dog?It's just cotton thread, what can you smell?
The knife-carved face was full of blackness and anger at the moment, but he still leaned over and sniffed lightly.

When the smell enters the nostrils, his complexion freezes, a little dizzy.

Mixed with grassy wet air, there is also a hint of pungent greasy.

"It's the smell of fire oil."

Yu Qiansi pinched the dirty cotton thread, found a bowl of clean water and washed it in it.The cotton thread had barely turned gray-yellow, and there were traces of fire at both ends.After thinking about it, he lifted his foot and walked into the house, but was grabbed by the corner of his clothes by the person behind him.

She turned around in confusion: "What are you doing?"

Boyi: "I should ask you this, what are you doing?"

Yu Qiansi felt that the man in front of him was so stupid and unreasonable.

"Of course it's to check the scene, why don't you just stand here and wait for the evidence to fall from the sky and hit you on the head?"

Boyi looked up at the house where ash and muddy water were falling from time to time, loosened the corner of her clothes, and said, "I'll go with you."

Yuqian cursed secretly, "I'm sick", and the two entered the room one after the other.

Even at noon, the light in the room was not very bright, and it was pitch black.The ground was full of puddles, and it was wet.

From time to time, some ash-covered water droplets dripped from the top of the head.It fell on Yuqiansi's red dress, like a blurred ink stain.

As soon as you enter the room, you can see a large pile of stone carving materials stacked in the corner of the window.This is also the most severely damaged place. It seems that this is where the fire started.

Not only that, everything in the room, tables, chairs, benches, and even candlesticks are made of stone.

"Heh, this carving is really good."

She lowered her head and took a closer look. Through the dim sunlight, there were indeed many black flocs in the shallow puddles.

She looked around for a while, got up and went around the rock pile to observe carefully, then laughed, picked up something from the gap between the rock pile, looked up at the sky outside the window and smiled, "Ha, what a luck!"

His eyebrows and eyes are curved, like a little beggar who is full of contentment after begging for a brand new copper coin.

The window paper had been burned long ago, leaving only the charcoal-black panes, helplessly allowing the sky to leap into the room, casting slanted streaks of light.

Directly facing outside the window is a half-short small building.It's shady and cold in the yard, but it's a good place to store ice.

Boyi could only see a small pitch-black object. He didn't know what to be happy about. He crossed his arms and said in a bad mood, "Yes, you are lucky. If you don't know how to do an autopsy, there will be someone to help you. If you need to check the smell, there will be someone to help you." Even the trivial things like finding someone, the magistrate of the county will do it for you."

Dare to rely on others for everything.

Yu Qiansi looked back and smiled, charming and proud.

"I am a prisoner, not an author. Since there is an expert who can test quickly and well, and he can be used by me. Then why do I have to do it myself? Put people with different abilities in positions that suit them, Isn’t it the way of the world? If you have to do everything by yourself as you said, then the sage above the royal palace doesn’t rely on the officials to rely on himself, and he won’t be exhausted? Or do you think the sage has nothing to do?”

Want to dig a hole for me again?Boyi has become vigilant and will no longer be fooled.

Thinking of the Duke of Qi's mansion, he felt sarcastically: Today's sage can't rely on all the ministers.They found a "good helper".Controlling the state affairs, deceiving the superior and the subordinate, certainly does not need to bother oneself.

"If a saint is as ignorant of the world as you are, and doesn't know how to check and balance, I'm afraid that position won't last long."

Unexpectedly, these pointed words had no effect on Yu Qiansi, she was still cheeky, and smiled brightly while rummaging through the cracks in the stone.

"So, I'm just a minor prisoner, and I don't need to sit in that high position. I just need to do my best to investigate the suspicious cases. The messy things among these aristocratic families are of no help to me in investigating the case."

Waste of time.

Hearing the creaking sound from the top of his head, Boyi didn't care about bickering with her, grabbed Yu Qiansi's arm, took three steps at a time, and pulled her out of the room.
