Chapter 413: Dissecting the corpse and identifying the person
Zhao Yan whispered a few words to Xu Dezu again, but Xu Dezu was stunned, then hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, and then immediately ordered someone to do it, but this time it only took half an hour, and the people sent out quickly rushed back, and then reported the information that Zhao Yan needed.
Zhao Yan, who got the information, was overjoyed, but on the surface, he was silent, and immediately walked up to Wu Qun and the others again and asked, "Several of you are all people who serve Xu Dezu, so you should know what the last meal was before Xu Dezu died, right?" ”
Hearing Zhao Yan ask this strange question, Wu Qun and the others were stunned again, and after a while, a small eunuch standing on the far left replied: "King Qiyu, the villain is usually responsible for Xu Gong's three meals, if I remember correctly, Xu Gong should have eaten fried cabbage, roasted mutton and egg drop soup on the night of his accident, and the staple food was steamed buns and rice porridge, in addition, Xu Gong is used to eating fruit when he gets up every morning, and I prepared melon for him that morning, The whole thing was eaten up by him, so he went to fetch water and wash his face in person according to his previous habits, which could have been done by us, but Xu Gong was used to doing these things by himself, and there was an accident. ”
"Cabbage, mutton and egg drop soup, plus a melon, this is more detailed than the information I got, not bad!" Zhao Yan said to himself with a smile when he heard this, and immediately encouraged the other party a few words, and then turned around and walked to Xu Dezu's corpse.
"King Jun, wait a minute! At this time, Huang Wude suddenly opened his mouth to stop him, and then said to the guards brought around him, as well as Wu Qun and the others, "You all retreat, without the summons of me and the county king, no one is allowed to approach, otherwise you will be killed!" ”
Huang Wude has been in charge of the Imperial City Division all the year round, and he usually has a smiling expression towards Zhao Yan. But when the order above was issued, his whole body exuded an awe-inspiring aura of a superior person, which was his usual true face, and at the same time, the people around him were startled, and they immediately nodded yes without hesitation, and then left the cemetery in a blink of an eye.
"The King of the County. In the future, you must pay attention to the impact of doing this kind of thing, although I know you don't care, if it is spread by others, it will still cause a big blow to the prestige of the county king. Huang Wude turned around again at this time and smiled bitterly at Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yan instructed him to investigate the food that Xu Dezu ate before he died, he had already guessed what Zhao Yan was going to do, but before Zhao Shu only agreed to let them open the coffin for autopsy, but did not let them destroy the body, you must know that the law of the Great Song Dynasty clearly stipulates that destroying the body is a felony. Even when it was done at the time of the autopsy, it could only be examined from the surface, and the corpse would not dare to be destroyed unless it was specially approved by the superiors.
Seeing that Huang Wude drove away the people around him, Zhao Yan finally understood his hard work, although he was moved in his heart at the moment, he still said with a smile on his face: "It's still Old Huang, you think thoughtfully, but Xu Dezu is an unforgivable person." If this corpse was really him, it is estimated that Daddy would not have allowed him to be buried here so peacefully. ”
Zhao Yan said and took out a burden from the side. After opening it, some daggers of different lengths were revealed inside, which was also what he asked Huang Wude to prepare before, only to see him pick out a sharp dagger of suitable length from it, and then cut open the abdomen of the corpse of "Xu Dezu" with his own hands.
It's hard to find two people who look almost the same in this world, but for an organization as large as Netherworld. It's not impossible, in addition, the scars on the appearance of the human body may also be disguised, but Zhao Yan doesn't believe that Xu Dezu will do things without leaking, assuming that this corpse is Xu Dezu's stand-in, then the food in his body will not be the same as Xu Dezu. If the people of the Yin Hades Division could even think of such a subtle detail, then Zhao Yan would have nothing to say.
As Zhao Yan dissected Xu Dezu's corpse, revealing the black internal organs inside, the decay of the corpse generally starts from the inside, so the decay of the internal organs is also the strictest, originally Zhao Yan did not plan to use this method, but he didn't expect Xu Dezu's corpse to be so well preserved, and the appearance is really indistinguishable, so he can only use this method.
I saw Zhao Yanqiang endure the stench and find the stomach from the black internal organs, and when his hand touched the stomach that was already inflated, he couldn't help but look happy, because he found that there was obviously no digested food in the stomach, and there was a lot of it, but according to the palace, Xu Dezu accidentally fell into the well and drowned when he washed his face in the morning.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan reached out and cut out the stomach of the corpse from the inside, and then took it on the flat ground and carefully cut it, only to find that the stomach was stuffed with all kinds of food that had already turned into paste, although it had deteriorated and turned black, it could still be seen that most of it was meat, and it was not digested at all, which showed that the deceased was killed soon after eating these foods, so the food in the stomach was not digested before it was digested.
"Lao Huang, it can already be determined that the deceased is not Xu Dezu!" Zhao Yan stood up at this time and shouted to Huang Wude, who was hiding in the upper wind, if it weren't for the stench emitted by the corpse was too bad, I am afraid he would laugh happily at this time.
"What?" Huang Wude was also very shocked when he heard Zhao Yan's words, and came to Zhao Yan in front of him a few steps, and then looked down at Zhao Yan's autopsy results, but although he had seen a lot of corpses, the appearance of dissecting the stomach of a half-decomposed corpse like this and taking out the intestines and stomach inside still made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, Huang Wude is not an ordinary person after all, he quickly calmed down the discomfort in his heart, and turned to carefully observe Zhao Yan's discovery, but when he saw the various food residues in the cut stomach, his face also showed a gloomy color, he thought that Xu Dezu was really dead, but now it seems that he was almost tricked by the other party again.
"Lao Huang, it seems that Xu Dezu is really cautious, this stand-in is probably prepared by him a long time ago, and even the scars on his body are exactly the same, even if there is a deviation in appearance, but after soaking in the well water for a day, I'm afraid this small deviation will not attract attention at all, but it's a pity that he still missed a point, this stand-in obviously ate a hearty meal of decapitation before he died, and it is estimated that he did not expect that I would cut open the stomach of the corpse." Zhao Yan said with a smug face at this time, he could think of verifying his identity from the food left in the stomach of the corpse, and also benefit from the medical knowledge he learned in the later life, but these belonged to the category of forensics, and he only knew a little.
"The county king is wise, if it weren't for your insistence, the old slave would have been deceived by Xu Dezu." When Xu Dezu said the end, his face couldn't help but show a little anger, and now he couldn't wait to grab Xu Dezu directly, and then tear the other party with his own hands, after all, he has suffered too much from Xu Dezu over the years.
"Now is not the time to talk about this, Lao Huang, you immediately go and arrange the arrest of Xu Dezu, even if you can't catch it, it won't make him feel better, I'll go back and report to my father!" Zhao Yan said immediately.
Huang Wude immediately agreed when he heard this, turned around and left quickly, while Zhao Yan cleaned up this Xu Dezu's stand-in, such as pulling out the intestines and stomach and stuffing it back again, and hastily sewed it, and put on his clothes again, so that as long as he didn't untie his clothes, he wouldn't be found that the body had been autopsied.
Next, Zhao Yan called the surrounding guards to carry the body back into the coffin, and then reburied it in the tomb, speaking of which, this stand-in is also a poor person, and he didn't even have a name left after death, and he was dissected by Zhao Yan, so this cemetery with good feng shui is considered a little compensation for him.
At that moment, Zhao Yan rushed back to the palace as quickly as possible, and then reported to Zhao Shu that he found that the corpse was Xu Dezu's stand-in, but Zhao Shu was angry, and also praised Zhao Yan's intelligence, but he also warned Zhao Yan that destroying the corpse like this is not a last resort, and must not be done again, otherwise it will only leave others to speak, and Zhao Yan also nodded yes.
Zhao Yan doesn't need to worry about the pursuit of Xu Dezu and the elimination of the Yin and Underworld Division, these are all Zhao Shu and Huang Wude's business, but Zhao Shu specially sent a thousand-person forbidden army to escort him back for Zhao Yan's safety, and in addition, near the courtyard where Zhao Yan lived, there was also a thousand-person forbidden army, which shows that Zhao Shu attached great importance to Zhao Yan.
When Zhao Yan returned home, it was already the second watch in the evening, but Cao Ying and the others did not sleep, they were all waiting in the hall of the inner house, until they saw Zhao Yan come back safely, they were relieved, among them, Princess Bao'an and Princess Shoukang asked Zhao Yan a few words, and soon went back to rest, leaving time for Zhao Yan and his wives and concubines.
Cao Ying, Xue Ning'er, Ye Lusi, and Ouyang Wanling all had something in their hearts to say to Zhao Yan, but now that everyone was present, they didn't know what to say for a while, and in the end, Zhao Yan stepped forward to comfort them one by one, and even in order to reassure them, he promised that he would be very careful when he went out in the future, and he would never happen again, which made Cao Ying and them breathe a sigh of relief.
In this way, the family chatted together for half an hour, although there were still many words that were not finished, but Xue Ning'er, Yelusi and Ouyang Wanling all got up to say goodbye, because they knew that during the time when Zhao Yan was kidnapped, Cao Ying supported the Junwang Mansion alone, which can be said to be the hardest one, and Zhao Yan also brought Yan Yuru back to the mansion, and this matter can only be handled by Cao Ying, so the rest of the night must be left for her.
Seeing Xue Ning'er and them leaving, Zhao Yan also thought about Yan Yuru, but before he could speak, he saw Cao Ying take the lead and said: "Husband, I have already talked to Sister Yuru today, and it is not impossible to let her enter the mansion, but I have one condition!"
