Several people walked out of the palace quickly and got on the car directly, until they sat in the car, Zhou Heng leaned against the wall of the carriage, feeling out of strength.

Only then did he realize that his back was already soaked, and the cold at the moment made him shiver with cold.

Zhu Yunmo threw a stove to Zhou Heng, looked Zhou Heng up and down, leaned closer and said in a low voice:

"What you just said, but is it true?"

Zhou Heng stared at him, "Of course it's true, can I still deceive the emperor?" ”

Liu Xiuer sat on the outermost side, with a look of self-blame.

Zhou Heng looked at Zhu Yunmo and glanced at Liu Xiu'er.

Zhu Yunmo rubbed his nose, as if he knew what he had just said, and he was extremely distrustful of Liu Xiu'er.

"Miss Xiu'er, I didn't say I didn't believe you, it's just that the footprints made of salt are really incredible, who can know such a method?"

Liu Xiu'er hurriedly knelt down, "It's all Xiu'er's fault, causing trouble for the prince and the second brother." ”

Zhou Hengyi raised his hand, "What are you talking about, if I hadn't asked you to teach Shuguifei Jian acupuncture therapy, this would not have happened, I am thinking now, who did this, the palace maid named Su'e, who was decisive in Dongnuan Pavilion, seemed to be fearless, either being threatened, or letting people grasp what shortcomings." ”

Zhu Yunmo snorted.

"The methods of the harem are the most dirty, and you said that Sun Zhaoyi has been dead for a long time, but you can find that his little eunuch didn't say, people are still soft? If it freezes overnight, won't this person be frozen into a stick? ”

Zhou Heng squinted his eyes, "People will become stiff after a day or two of death, and then they will gradually become soft in a few days, this is corpse stiffness, just dead and four or five days after death, people are soft, it is winter at the moment, even if you die for a few days, you can't see it, as for what Shizi said is frozen hard, I don't think so, the leeward of the rockery gap, the sun can shine directly, and the day of the palace banquet is very warm." ”

Liu Xiu'er nodded, "It was indeed not cold that day. ”

Zhu Yunmo narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Heng.

"The puppet you are talking about is your nephew Zhou Yi'an, right? Isn't that your apprentice? ”

Zhou Heng copied his sleeves and glanced at Zhu Yunmo with a serious face, this product is really underwhelming.

"Master and nephew, not an apprentice, I am a doctor, if you say to the outside world that my apprentice has a job, will anyone still see me in the future? Do I treat the living or the dead? ”

Zhu Yunmo smashed his mouth, and only at this moment did he understand Zhou Heng's intentions.

"Just now in front of Uncle Huang, you recommended Zhang Fuling to thoroughly investigate this case, will you offend Fang Jizhong, after all, it was his factory guard who investigated it before."

Zhou Heng shook his head, with a helpless face, he could only make a choice at this time.

"I don't know, it's important to get out, and besides, Lord Zhang Fuling will investigate this case, at least it will be fair, although there are not many clues, I think as long as Zhou Yi'an looks carefully, he can still find some clues, a Zhaoyi has been dead for several days, and the people in her palace can't shirk the blame, and the other is that Su'e, as long as you grasp these three aspects, the case will definitely be solved."

......

Early the next morning.

A few fast horses walked to the front of Dali Temple, jumped off the horse, and a few people walked in.

A waiting messenger led them straight to a courtyard on the east side, came to the door of a house, and saluted several people:

"Captain Zhang, Zhang Shaoqing, is waiting for you inside."

Zhang Wanxun nodded, "Okay, you go down, Zhou Yi'an, let's go in." ”

Saying that, he took Zhou Yi'an into the room, several eunuchs and Zhang Fuling stood in the room, Zhou Yi'an was a little nervous, and quickly knelt down to give a salute.

"Zhou Yi'an to meet Master Zhang."

Zhang Fuling raised his hand, did not make an introduction, just pointed to a table in the middle of the room, and said:

"Get up, please come here to do an autopsy, this official wants to know the time of this person's death, and the cause of death."

Zhou Yi'an said yes, quickly got up, and then raised his eyes to look at the platform in the middle.

The platform was covered with a white cloth, and it was obvious that the corpses were covered underneath, but he did not know what the eunuchs were here for.

Master Zhang Fuling asked him to do an autopsy, of course, he had nothing to say.

Lord Liu Renli has already said that he must do his best, and also said that this was recommended by his uncle Zhou Heng, so he must take advantage of such an opportunity, so let's do it.

A little eunuch lifted the white cloth, and Zhou Yi'an had already changed into a leather apron, wrapped his hair with a piece of cloth, and put on gloves and masks.

I opened my baggage, opened several boxes, and placed the tools neatly, and then wiped my gloves clean with an alcohol cotton ball.

Then I walked to the corpse, and the room was lit with an oil lamp, but because it was winter, the sky had just brightened, and the room was a little dim.

Zhou Yi'an just saw that there was a female corpse in a gorgeous costume on the table, and this kind of brightness was really difficult to operate.

Turning around and glancing at Zhang Wanxun, "I'm tired of Captain Zhang lighting the horse lantern for the small one, it's too dark here to be observed." ”

Along the way, he used Zhou Yi'an's horse lamp to illuminate, Zhang Wanxun hurriedly took out Zhou Yi'an's baggage, lit it, closed the lampshade, and brightened it a little.

For a moment, it seemed to be daylight in the room, but there was no hanging place around, Zhang Wanxun stood directly at the head of the corpse, holding a horse lantern.

Zhou Yi'an looked at the corpse, starting from the head, the edges of the bun, cheeks, jaw, neck, mouth, arms, nails, and various joints, and examined them one by one.

I don't know what I found, so I pinched a little thing with tweezers from time to time, put it in a plate, and placed it next to the table one by one.

His eyes fell on the corpse, and Zhou Yi'an was a little embarrassed.

"Lord Zhang, do you need to dissect or only check the corpse?"

Zhang Fuling leaned over, "If you just look at the corpse table, can you know the question I just asked?" ”

Zhou Yi'an shook his head, "I can only know a part of it, if you want to know the details, you need an autopsy." ”

Zhang Fuling looked at a white-haired old eunuch beside him, Yi An really surprised him this week, to say that he had also come into contact with some, and it was rare to be able to answer so clearly, and suddenly asked with interest:

"And what can you see from the corpse?"

Zhou Yi'an thought for a while, walked to the head of the corpse, and then said:

"My lord, please see, there are some faint red marks around the lips of the deceased, although it is impossible to determine the form, it can be seen that the deceased was blocked by someone before he died, and some liquid was also taken out of the nasal cavity, which was slightly yellow and not viscous, this is drowning, that is, a liquid that will ooze out when the person who suffocated to death is dying."

With his explanation, Zhou Yi'an held up a plate and showed it to Zhang Fuling and the people around him.

Although the white-haired eunuch was staring at the plate, he had already covered his mouth and nose.

Zhang Fuling didn't care, and motioned for Zhou Yi'an to continue.

"As for the deceased's mouth, there is some reddish-brown liquid, which smells of wine, and there is a bloody smell, and there is a lot of residue, between the teeth, in the throat, and in the pharynx.

"Anything else?"

"The deceased had corpse spots on his jaw, which did not fade when pressed, and the joints in various places had become soft, so the time of death of the deceased was more than five or six days. The fist had been clenched for a long time, and even though the zombie had dissipated, the palm had left a deep indentation, and because of this, the contents of the palm had been preserved. ”

As soon as he said that there was something, Zhang Fuling's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked:

"What's that?"

"Look inside the gap between the fingernails, the small one found a few pieces of skin and a piece of hair, this human skin, half an inch long, plus the hair just now, the person covering the mouth and nose of the deceased must have been scratched by the deceased on the face or neck."

The old eunuch was a little out of breath, hurried over, looked inside the plate, and sure enough, a palm-long hair and a few pieces of bloody skin were lying in the plate.

Zhou Yi'an held his hair with tweezers and sent it to Zhang Fuling.

"Adults can sniff it, there is a hint of hair oil on this hair, but what kind of hair oil it is, I don't know what kind of hair oil."

Zhang Fuling leaned over and sniffed it, and sure enough, there was a faint aroma on it, and he couldn't tell what it was.

Just as he stopped, the white-haired old eunuch came up.

"Zhang Shaoqing let our family take a look."
