The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 17 Like a wild cat

Wu Wuzuo opened his mouth and opened it again. He felt that he had fallen into a big pit and he felt like crying.

However, under the serious gaze of the man above him, he never dared to fool him.

After a while, he finally shook his voice and said: "This lady is right..."

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

"only!"

Wu Wuzuo said quickly: "The villain did not come to the conclusion just now by talking nonsense!

The villain checked the entire corpse and found that except for the wound on the heart, there were no obvious external injuries. After testing for poison with a silver needle, the possibility of poisoning was ruled out.

Apart from the wound on the deceased's heart, the villain could not think of any other possible cause of death.

So...that's why the villain made this judgment!After all, there are no absolutes in the world. Although there is a difference between a person's injuries during life and after death, what if there are exceptions! "

just in case……

Just because of this ridiculous contingency, he came to such a conclusion casually.

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile coldly.

Her parents died when she was very young, killed by a severely traumatized woman next door to their home.

The woman closed the doors and windows of their room while her parents were sleeping, lit coal inside, and attempted to pretend that her parents had committed suicide.

At that time, she went to her grandfather's house during the summer vacation and narrowly escaped.

Later, thanks to the city's forensic doctor, he discovered the suspicion. He tested the stomach contents of her parents and found that they had eaten steak and drank red wine at night.

That day was the wedding anniversary of her parents. How could a couple who were about to commit suicide have such leisurely time to celebrate this holiday?
At that time, the police also noticed some signs, and through rigorous investigation, they finally caught the murderer.

And the reason why the woman killed her parents turned out to be just that she couldn't see such a loving couple in the world.

Later, when filling out her college application, she mistakenly filled out the major of forensic medicine, perhaps because she hoped that there would no longer be unjust, false, or wrongful convictions in this world.

I also hope that every soul who died in vain can find true rest.

She never felt that it was something unspeakable to be with the dead. She persisted in guarding the door between life and death, perhaps to redeem her helpless and painful self.

However, now, this man can say such uncertain and elusive words as "in case" so casually. Although Xu Jing is very clear that this is due to the limitations of the times and technology, she still can't bear it in her heart. A flame suddenly lit up.

After hearing Wu Wuzuo's words, Xiao Yi was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a female voice——

"No obvious trauma on his body? Did the deceased take off his clothes? Do you know that he had no obvious trauma on his body?"

It was shocking for a woman to say these words.

Others looked at Xu Jing in shock again. Wu Wuzuo's eyes widened slightly and his face was ashen. He wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Xu Jing's sharp eyes. "Besides, the deceased's skin was blue-purple, and his fingernails were obviously blue-black." …”

As she spoke, she suddenly squatted down and touched Peng Shi's body with a pair of slender hands without scruples. First she opened his eyelids and looked at him, then leaned down and looked at the inside of his nose, and finally broke it off. Opening his mouth, he leaned over and made a sniffing motion.

Because they were so shocked, the bystanders forgot to even question and stop Xu Jing, and watched helplessly as she finished all this.

Immediately, she stood up, took out a handkerchief from her sleeves, put it in her hands slowly, and said in a cold voice: "The conjunctiva of the deceased's eyes was congested, and the inside of the nose and oral mucosa were also congested and edematous, and there were even erosions and bleeding in some places.

This is clearly a symptom of poisoning! "

"impossible!"

Wu Wu reacted, jumped up suddenly and said: "You said that the deceased had other causes of death. It is possible, but it is definitely not poisoning! I just tested it with a silver needle..." Xu Jing said coldly With a smile, "Your silver needle just penetrated the mouth of the deceased. Who said that the poison would stay in the mouth of the deceased and wait for you to detect it? Besides, who said that all poisons can be detected with a silver needle?" ?!”

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Wu Zuo's old face turned red. "Silver needle poison testing is a method passed down from our ancestors. It has been done for hundreds of years! Do you have to say that this method is unreliable? The autopsy results of previous Wu Zuo were all wrong." It’s unbelievable!”

"I didn't say that," Xu Jing said coldly: "Silver needles can indeed detect some poisons, but if it is not a specific poison, silver needles will have no effect.

What's more, even a specific poison cannot be detected in some cases.

Mr. Xiao. "

Seeing Wu Wuzuo stretching his neck as if he wanted to argue with her, Xu Jing was too lazy to waste any more words with him. She turned directly to the person who could make the decision and said softly: "The daughter of the people just said it. The daughter of the people asks to prove her innocence." , I dare to ask Mr. Xiao, if you are willing to give this opportunity to a civilian girl?"

Wu Wuzuo was obviously a loyal supporter of the silver needle drug test method. Xu Jing stepped on his feet by questioning this method. She immediately turned to Xiao Yi and said: "Shilang Xiao, this woman is full of nonsense! Don't believe her words easily. !”

Xu Jing ignored Wu Wuzuo and didn't even look at him from the corner of her eyes. She just looked at Xiao Yi quietly.

Xiao Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

He had always been observant and could not miss the slight sarcasm and coldness in the woman's eyes at this moment.

It seems that from a certain moment, her whole aura has changed. If before, she gave people the impression of being at ease, even with a bit of casualness that disappeared when talking and laughing, now she is full of energy. Full of aggression, those clear eyes revealed a stubbornness that would never take a step back.

——Just like a wild cat whose tail has been stepped on.

As soon as this metaphor popped into Xiao Yi's mind, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and his brows suddenly furrowed.

It's simply inexplicable that he still has time to think about this in court.

What's more, what changes have occurred in this woman, and what does it have to do with him?

He looked at Xu Jing indifferently, picked up the gavel on the table, slapped it hard, and uttered one word in a low but firm voice with his perfectly shaped thin lips, "Yes."

Wu Wuzuo immediately looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief and said excitedly: "Shilang Xiao, you must not let this woman fool around! Shilang Xiao is well-known and admired by countless people in the world. How can he trust this inexplicable woman?" Just ruin your own reputation!"

Dong Li, who was standing outside the court and paying close attention to everything, was also shocked, looking at his husband anxiously and puzzled.

Lang Jun is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He can understand that he cannot ignore someone when they complain of grievances, but isn't Lang Jun's current attitude a bit too much?

This is to allow that poisonous woman to do whatever she wants!
Although the poisonous woman seemed to be right in what she said just now, he could not believe that she really had the ability to prove her innocence!

The attitude of everyone in the Peng family on the side also became excited. Although they did not dare to say anything openly, they were questioning Xiao Yi's decision both inside and outside their words.

Xiao Yi just looked at them with cold eyes, and suddenly said in a stern voice: "In your eyes, am I just such a fool who can trust others?"

Who dares to question his confusion in front of a high-ranking court official? !
Everyone in the courtroom, except Xu Jing and his servants, immediately fell to their knees in panic and shouted "Don't dare".

Xiao Yi glanced at them seriously before saying coldly: "Since I took office in the Criminal Department, I have seen many mysterious cases, and there are indeed some poisoning cases that cannot be detected using silver needle poison testing methods. .

Officials who cracked these cases certainly had their own methods, but most of them were by chance or guesswork, and there was almost no set of established methods that could be used to detect different poisoning cases.

Mrs. Xu just said that your autopsy skills were read in some miscellaneous books. I am curious about the methods used to test poisons in those miscellaneous books. "

His words were very upright and full of concern and exploration for the development of autopsy technology at that time, and even made people couldn't help but admire his dedication.

All the people who had been shouting objections just now were speechless. Aunt Xue secretly muttered, "Even if that's the case, that woman can't possibly have that ability..."

Xu Jing just pretended not to hear, raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man above her, and suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and said: "Since Minister Xiao is asking for advice sincerely, a common girl will not dare to hide anything."
