Chapter 259 An autopsy in court
"Back to the king, it is precisely because of Mrs. Yi Jiang's noble status that Huo Xi does not dare to slack off. Pen ~ fun ~ Mrs. www.biquge.info Ge died of poisoning by others, and the child in her womb suffered this bad luck, which is unfortunate, if you can't find out the real culprit to comfort Mrs. in the sky, it is a dereliction of duty, Huo Xi is even more shameless to face the adult who handed over this heavy responsibility. "Since I have checked, then I have verified the body of Mrs. Yi Jiang today.
"So, what does the doctor think?" The king is now a peacemaker again.
Doctor Zheng Guo was hindered by the presence of the king, even if he had a temper, it was inconvenient to attack, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked. "The minister wants to ask Miss Huo Xi, how do you decide that Yi Jiang's death is suspicious?"
The king followed his words and looked at him again.
"Back to the king, my lord," I saluted the two of them successively, "Mrs. Yi Jiang's death is suspicious in itself, and it is said that Mrs. Yi Jiang was poisoned, so what is the poison in her body?" When did it happen? Who can be around to take care of you during the seizure? Has she tested the food she ate that day? Can you infer when you were poisoned? No one can answer any of these questions. Huo Xi investigated in the adult's mansion, and everyone was unanimous that they all knew that Mrs. Yi Jiang was poisoned, but no one knew the details when asked. Besides, Huo Xi remembered that when he was in the village, Lord Wandering Yan beside the adult brought a slave to search the village to arrest Mi Ji, saying that Mi Ji had killed someone. Mi Ji threatened Huo Xi's life, but she was still arrested, and later Huo Xi learned that everyone in the adult's mansion believed that Mi Ji was the murderer of Mrs. Yi Jiang. But Huo Xi remembered that Mi Ji begged Huo Xi to save her when she was desperate, she said that she was framed, Huo Xi could see from her reaction that she was very worried that she would be poisoned by the murderer after being caught. ”
"Oh? Miss Huo Xi could still see these things from her reaction? The king did not disbelieve, but only voiced their doubts.
"Exactly." I bowed my head.
"This is really an amazing skill, could it be that Miss Huo Xi can also see what Gu is thinking at the moment from Lone's reaction?" The king seemed to be joking.
After speaking, he looked at Dr. Zheng Guo quietly, and both of them ended with chuckles.
Different from Dr. Zheng Guo's restraint and strictness, the king's words sound a lot tactful, but every sentence is on the point, and judging from the interaction between him and Dr. Zheng Guo, not only Dr. Zheng Guo is jealous of the king, but the king is also very attentive to Dr. Zheng Guo's every move.
"The king is thinking about how to help Huo Xi and solve the doubts in his heart for the adults." My face doesn't change.
The king was stunned, and the people around him also lowered their heads, and Dr. Zheng Guo's eyes wandered as if he was speculating.
Naturally, this is not what the king wants.
Judging from his reaction, he has been paying attention to Dr. Zheng's every move, indicating that he is on guard. He will appear here today, it is really for the sake of Mrs. Yi Jiang's probability is not high, and the timing of his appearance is just right, which happens to be a critical moment in the conflict between us and Dr. Zheng Guo, so I speculate that from the beginning, this king has been quietly watching not far away, but why should he catch up with this moment of tension between us and come out to stir up the situation?
If, as I suspected, Mrs. Yi Jiang's death may have been politically motivated, who is the impact?
It is Mrs. Bo Jiang who has the greatest interest in Mrs. Yi Jiang, but Mrs. Bo Jiang has already let herself out of this relationship chain in a few words. Then next, the political position that may be involved in the next step is Dr. Zheng Guo, but the king came out at this time, he looked like he was muddying the waters, but he also supported the investigation of the truth. I have reason to think that if Madame Yi Jiang's death involves Zheng Guochao, it will inevitably make people wonder if there is any relationship between the king and Dr. Zheng Guo. Then the king in front of him is destined to take the blame, so no matter who checks, it is inevitable that the king wants to find out the truth.
His purpose is very simple, which is to prove that this matter has nothing to do with him, but he can't explain it thoroughly, so my statement is the most appropriate.
After being stunned for a moment, the king smiled again, and he pointed at me and said to Dr. Zheng Guo, "It is worthy of the person Aiqing chose to appoint, as if he can really see through people's minds." ”
I read his mind, but his reaction now tells me that he also sees mine.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Doctor Zheng Guo also wanted to thank him personally, and then raised his head, "It's just that seven days have passed today, and since Yi Jiang's body has been carried out of the mourning hall, it's not good to carry it back again." If it is placed in another place, it is also against the law of etiquette. ”
"What do you say? Since this case was entrusted to you, what do you think? The king threw the problem over again.
"This ......" is really tricky, the coffin is carried out of the mourning hall, and the tomb has been opened today, I am afraid that it really can't be changed again. I clenched my fist in my sleeve and looked tentatively at Shi Yu, who seemed to understand what I meant, and nodded to me. I said ruthlessly, "Since it is inconvenient for Madame's body to be removed from him, let's examine it here." ”
Check it out here.
It was a rare experience to open an autopsy on the day of the body's burial, before her grave.
"Nonsense," Dr. Zheng Guo scolded, before pleading guilty to the king, "King, these places are all domestic slaves, Yi Jiang is also the old minister's insider, and he is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the old minister, how can he undress and perform an autopsy in public!" ”
The king thought for a moment, "Hey, this is really difficult. Mrs. Yi Jiang's coffin was carried out of the mourning hall, and since seven days had passed, it could not be carried back again. Seeing that this tomb is open, it can't be filled in first. But if this is examined on the spot, it will indeed hinder Mrs. Yijiang's reputation, it is better to ......" He suddenly thought of a good idea, and I could see his thoughts from the pair of eyes he subconsciously looked at, "Qi Ai, you go and order them to take the lonely canopy and curtain to cover it, and let Miss Huo Xi inspect it for Mrs. Yi Jiang in the curtain." ”
Subsequently, he asked Dr. Zheng Guo's opinion, "What does Aiqing think?" ”
Previously, he used Mrs. Yi Jiang's face as an excuse to shirk, but now that the king has agreed to cover it with a canopy, how can he have any objections to such an honor.
"Minister, respect the king's will." Dr. Zheng Guo should do this.
"King Xie!" Overjoyed, it is really another village.
......
Canopies and curtains were arranged, and even the tools for the autopsy were ready.
Mrs. Yi Jiang's body was placed in the curtain, and the outline impression of the inside could be faintly seen from the outside, I am afraid that this was to make it convenient for them to monitor me and not do anything to Mrs. Yi Jiang's body. Even though he helped me to perform an autopsy this time, this body was his father's wife after all, so he waited outside the curtain, and I walked into the curtain alone, so I could talk to him and ask for verbal help and some material identification.
"Let's get started." I was in the midst of the curtains, and Mrs. Yi Jiang's coffin had been opened.
Outside the curtain, in full view of everyone, it was really stressful for me to complete this post-mortem work.
"The body is swollen, and the arms, calves, and the lower part of the neck are covered with irregular dark black lines." These are not corpse spots, these traces are distributed along the blood vessels and capillaries, "probably toxins deposited in the tiny blood vessels that have not yet been broken down by the body." ”
Outside the curtain, he recorded what I said on the bamboo slips, raised his head and looked ahead, and said, "Check whether Mrs. Yi Jiang's hands are swollen and whether their nails are black. ”
I put on a towel and lifted Mrs. Yi Jiang's hand from the coffin, and examined it carefully. "The knuckles are swollen and unusually thick, and the ten fingers are black."
"Check again, whether Mrs. Yi Jiang's eyes are congested and whether there is any abnormality in her pupils."
I had to carefully put her hand back in the coffin, then walked to the front of the coffin, reached in and lifted her eyelids, "the whites of the eyes were crimson and bloodshot all around, and the black pupils were small, and the pupils were deep...... No, the depths of her pupils weren't black, they were turquoise, very dark. ”
Sai Yu was stunned, a little surprised, and thought carefully for a while before speaking. "Okay, you can undress her now and inspect the surface of her body."
Although I can complete some of the simple work by lifting my hand in, if I untie my clothes, it will take some effort, which is very laborious. "The swelling on the surface of the corpse is very exaggerated, not like a normal death, a peculiar smell emanating from the corpse, in addition to the corpse smell of the corpse itself, there is also ...... "What is this smell?" I approached her mouth and made a few distinctions, "There is a sour taste in her mouth, not a stink, but a very light fragrance." ”
How can a corpse smell after a person dies?
Her lips were dark, "Dark lips are a sign of poisoning, and Mrs. Yi Jiang's corpse is actually swollen like this?" The pale body was like a balloon that had been blown up. The whites of his eyes are red and bloodshot, and his pupils are smaller than normal. "Sacrifice Yu Gongzi, how many months was Mrs. Yi Jiang pregnant before she died?"
Sai Yu counted the next day, "There is more than May." ”
"More than May?" More than five months, plus seven days after she was killed...... Why is her belly so big? "Give me the blade."
I put my hand out of the curtain, and I handed the blade to me.
For a while, the people waiting in the pavilion not far from the curtain didn't know what was happening, but they clearly felt the tension coming from inside the curtain, especially Dr. Zheng Guo, who actually walked outside the pavilion and looked at it with concern.
There won't be such a thing.
"What's wrong?" After seeing that I was going to pass the blade, Sai Yu was stunned in the curtain and didn't move, so he asked.
"Priest Yu," I tilted my head, "do you think that after a mother dies, her baby will grow in her womb?" ”
I knew it couldn't be, but before I dropped the knife, my hand caressed Mrs. Yi Jiang's bulging belly, which was almost speechless, and I actually ...... I felt a slight movement in her stomach.
Could it be that the child is still alive?!
