Chapter 103: Autopsy
Thinking of Shen Chi's painstaking worship, Cheng Ye finally understood what he was going to do.
As a last resort, investigators may also collect evidence by dissecting the body for the needs of the case.
It's just that this kind of technique needs to be approved at various levels, and it is also necessary to pay homage to the gods before dissecting it to show solemnity.
Shen Chi saluted the emperor first, as if he was hesitating to say something, and the emperor immediately waved his hand to him and said:
"I'll take people out and wait for the results."
Cheng Ye also nodded, on such an occasion, no one wanted to stay indoors, just thinking about the sound and smell was uncomfortable enough, not to mention the bloody corpses and carrion.
Cui Xi had already led people to set up chairs and stools and tea soup in the aisle of the gate, and also carried out a large bronze beast's foot brazier and placed it next to the emperor, and took the hand stove from the carriage and gave it to the emperor.
Looking at such thoughtful service, Cheng Ye and Yuan Zheng glanced at each other silently, pursed their lips and smiled.
"This is all the actions of Huda in the twelve hours before the deceased fell from the building, and what he ate and did at what time was listed."
Yiqiu took out a stack of papers and presented it to the emperor, and said:
"We interrogated Huda's wife, concubine, maid and several house stewards separately, and after combining and verifying everyone's confessions, we can't be wrong."
The emperor took the confession in his hand, glanced at it a few times, and then handed it to Yiqiu, and said with a smile:
"Sister Qiu, I don't have to worry about it, let's wait for the result of Shen Qing's here."
Yiqiu was used to hearing the emperor call her "Sister Qiu", and she didn't dare to deliberately correct it every time, but fortunately, it was all in private, and she went with him if she called too much.
Therefore, when she heard the emperor's words this time, she just responded solemnly.
Turning his head, he took a stack of documents from the hands of his entourage, plus the confession of Hu Da's family, and handed them to Cheng Yedao:
"Knowing that you will definitely come today, I specially brought you the file of the Huda case to show you."
The emperor ordered Cui Xi to give Yiqiu and Chengye a seat and serve tea, and everyone talked about the details of Huda's case while waiting for Shen Chi's autopsy results.
*****************
At this time, in the upper room, behind the wooden screen.
Except for Shen Chi's occasional cough, the room was so quiet that only the sound of large pieces of flesh being rolled and stirred could be heard.
"My lord, there are multiple fractures in the deceased's skull, and multiple fractures in the chest and limbs, all of which match the results of the examination at the scene."
A young voice described respectfully.
"Don't look at ahem...... Don't look at what has already been found out, see if there are any new discoveries? ”
"Yes."
Then there was a long silence, save for the sound of flesh being torn apart and stirring.
"Huh?"
"How?"
"There was nothing else in the deceased's stomach, what remained was like ...... Banxia. ”
"Ahem...... I'll take a look," Shen Chi's voice said.
After a while, I heard Shen Chi speak again, "Banxia rice soup? ”
The young man responded:
"That's right, I should have drunk a lot of Banxia rice soup."
"And what is this? cough cough cough ...... Take it back and check it out. ”
Shen Chi commanded.
After a while, Shen said slowly:
"Look at the nostrils of the dead!"
Scold......
Shen Chi and the young man lost their voices at the same time, this thing ......
"You can give the emperor a life first."
Shen Chi said quietly.
*****************
In the aisle of the gate outside the courtyard, the emperor was comforting Zhang Ping and several guards who were kneeling down to apologize.
"I know, since the person is dead, let Shuntian Mansion Yin clean up and deal with it, you get up first."
Yuan Zheng looked at Zhang Ping with a smile and beckoned to Cui Xi behind him.
"Xiao Xizi, come, I have prepared something to reward your master and these guards, you can take them to receive the reward."
The emperor swept his eyes over them one by one, pausing for a moment on one of the kneeling guards in the back row, and then quickly looked away.
At this time, the door of the upper room opened from the inside, Shen Chi covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, coughed a few times, and walked quickly towards the aisle where the emperor was sitting.
The emperor waved his hand to everyone, and Zhang Ping obediently led the people to retreat, and he stayed at the end and took the gate of the small courtyard.
Only the emperor and Cheng Ye, Yi Qiu, and Shen Chi were left in the aisle.
The emperor raised his hand to stop Shen Chi from kneeling and saluting, "Old Shangshu is working hard today, don't worry about these complicated etiquette, if you find anything, you might as well say it directly." ”
The admiration on Shen Chi's face was beyond words, and he still pushed the emperor to the end.
Only then did he say unhurriedly:
"The emperor is sympathetic, the old minister is afraid, the minister has already made some discoveries, and now he needs to take a look at the confession of Hu Da's family first."
After receiving a few confessions from Yiqiu's hand, Shen Chi took a closer look at them, and replied to the emperor firmly:
"Your Majesty, according to the confession of Huda's family, cough cough cough...... The old minister could be sure that the deceased was not Huda. ”
What was found during the autopsy? How can I be sure that the deceased is not Huda?
Most of the subordinates who report in front of the emperor need to analyze and cite evidence in detail, and finally say the conclusion. Shen Chi concluded the conclusion in advance without mentioning the process, which was somewhat deliberately pretentious and suspected of gaining attention and attention in front of the emperor.
Of course, he is qualified to have the qualifications to be so showy, Yuan Zheng just smiled and looked at Shen Chi and asked:
"How did Lao Shangshu find out that the deceased was not Huda?"
Shen Chi respectfully presented the confession to the emperor:
"The results of the autopsy of the old minister showed that the food in the stomach of the deceased was completely different from what Huda had eaten, which was one of them; Second, the Banxia rice soup left in the stomach of the deceased is a medicinal diet to calm the nerves and sleep, and after taking a large amount, it will inevitably make you drowsy.
According to the confession, Huda did not fall asleep or be drowsy for a long time. These two points are enough to prove that the deceased was not Huda. ”
Such simple evidence requires such complicated means to obtain, but in this way, it is clear that the deceased is not Huda.
The emperor was slightly annoyed, and the opponent's layout took a lot of effort, and they needed to dismantle it even more to get closer to the truth step by step.
It is a simple conclusion that the deceased was not Huda, and they could not find evidence until an autopsy was performed.
There are many more problems to be solved.
Since the deceased is not Huda, where is the real Huda?
Since the deceased is not Huda, who is the real identity of the deceased?
Shen Chi carefully observed the emperor's expression and said in a low voice:
"Lao Chen also found other clues in the body of the deceased, but he still can't understand it for a while, and after going back, he should be able to find out the true identity of the deceased."
He could see that although the young Son of Heaven in front of him tried his best to hold back, he was still angry.
Although the investigation of the case is tedious and requires a lot of meticulous work, it is not difficult to find out the truth, and what is even more difficult to find out is the layout behind it and the opponents hidden in the shadows.
Hu Da in this case, who is in the high position of the right attendant of the military department of the court, is just an outcast in the bureau, and at the moment, they have not even seen the tip of the iceberg of the other party's layout.
Shen Chi put away the emotion in his heart, and Wen Yan said to the emperor:
Since the deceased was not Hu Da himself, Lao Chen first ordered Hu Da and the murder suspect Niu Fang to be wanted immediately. As for the true identity of the deceased, at the latest, the old minister will definitely give the emperor an accurate answer. ”
Although the situation is sinister, he relies on his intuition cultivated by decades of experience in the sea, and he is determined to follow the young son of heaven in front of him.
He Shen Chi has not missed the opportunity in his life, and he must have chosen the right one this time.
Shen Chi held the handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose and coughed a few times, and the corners of his mouth covered by the handkerchief were silently hooked.
