The procedure of opening the coffin, not only Song Ning, but also Zhao Yi is already familiar with it.

From the first taboo avoidance to the current calmness, Zhao Yi said to Song Ning: "In a few years, I will be able to open the coffin and perform an autopsy alone." ”

"Looking forward to the day of the prince." Song Ning said.

There were more and more people, and Su Li and Su Wang were at the forefront.

Su Qingniang's coffin did not enter the ancestral grave of the Su family, but was buried at the back of the hillside, where there is a wild grave. According to local rules, whether a girl is married or in her mother's family, she cannot enter the ancestral grave after death.

Therefore, there are also people who give the dead girl to others, so that they can have a serious cemetery after her death.

Wang Shishi, the village head, organized people to dig the coffin, and when it was dug up, he was busy asking everyone to retreat and go away.

"Let's go." Song Ning said to Qiu, "Be careful with the nails." ”

asked Su Li again: "Are you sure this is Su Qingniang's coffin?" ”

"Sure!" Su Li replied.

Su Wang said: "My lord, at that time, the woman put a hanging of money and a silver bracelet she liked as a funeral. ”

"Good!"

In the village, someone notified Wang Yao, she rolled off the bed, didn't have time to open the door, pushed open the window, and in the dust, she looked at the villagers who came to report the news: "Open the coffin, check Su Qingniang?" Why Su Qingniang? ”

"I heard that Lord Xiao Song felt that Su Qingniang's case was wrong, so he took someone with him. You go and see, maybe...... The case can be overturned. ”

Wang Yao couldn't believe it, stumbled to the door, grabbed his cane and walked that way.

Seeing that she was really pitiful, someone shouted, "Wait a minute, I'll go home and get the car and push you." ”

A woman went back and fetched a wheelbarrow, and together with her son, she pushed Wang Yao to the place where the coffin was opened.

When they arrived, the coffin had just been opened.

Wang Yao jumped out of the wheelbarrow, and people spotted her, making way for her, and she crashed into the crowd.

Su Li and his wife saw her coming over and let her go.

"My lord, Lord Song!" Wang Yao stopped and looked at Song Ning excitedly, "Do you want to re-investigate Qingniang's case?" ”

Song Ning was packing up her tools, and when she heard this, she looked up at her and said, "Yes, you have to check again." ”

"Do you have any clues?"

Wang Yao knelt down and shouted at Song Ning: "Lord Qingtian, please accept the people's wife!" ”

After speaking, he almost kowtowed to Song Ning on the ground.

Lu Miaomiao went up to help Wang Yao up, and persuaded: "If you have something important, you can tell the adult, if not, don't kowtow or cry, it will affect the adult." ”

"I know I know, I have!" Wang Yao said and shouted, "After the adult opens the coffin and the autopsy is over, the woman and the adult say." ”

Song Ning looked at her and nodded: "Okay, then you go and rest first." ”

Wang Yao should be, standing on one side.

"Let's get started."

The coffin was opened and dispersed, because the temperature here was slightly higher and dry, and the corpses inside had completely decayed, leaving only white bones, but the bones had not yet begun to weather, and were basically intact.

She picked up all the bones and put them on the cloth that was on the floor, and looked at them little by little.

Zhao Yi wrote down the corpse for her.

"Female, died about five years ago, 5 feet 3 inches to 5 feet 4 inches tall, and the overall skull was not damaged."

"Rib ......" Song Ning paused and looked at Su Li, "There are traces of fractures on the fourth and fifth ribs on her left and right, she must have been injured before she died, do you know?" ”

Su Li looked at Su Wang's family.

Su Wang shook his head: "I haven't heard her say it, and she hasn't been injured when she was a child." ”

"It's not an injury when I was a child, it's an injury before I die. Since you don't know, most of them are wounds that were sustained before death. ”

This kind of rib injury is unbearable for ordinary people, and it is not only unbearable pain but also affects the movement of the body.

Su Qingniang carried a basket to hunt pigweed before her death, which means that she is flexible and free without such pain.

"Hurt, hurt? Could that be left over from the fight before death? Su Wang guessed.

Song Ning didn't answer her words again, and then checked down, and after checking one side, she didn't get anything, she didn't give up and went back to check again, and then she was stunned, a little surprised.

"What kind of bone is this?" Zhao Yi asked her.

"Pubic bone!" Song Ning introduced this bone to Zhao Yi, "The male pubic bone is convex, and the female pubic bone is concave, which is one of the methods of judging the gender of human bones." ”

Zhao Yi nodded: "Is there any problem?" ”

"There's a problem, look at this side." Song Ning whispered a few words, and Zhao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "This explanation is just in line with your previous doubts. ”

Song Ning nodded and put the bones back: "Clean it up, it's over." ”

Everyone didn't hear what she said just now, and Wang Yao asked, "Is it over?" Yes, is there a gain? ”

"Yes! When we are ready to clean up here, we will go to Su Li's house to talk. ”

Wang Yao was so excited that he nodded again and again, supported by his neighbors, otherwise he would not be able to stand steadily.

Leaving the scene to the wind and them to clean up, Song Ning took off his gloves and said to Su Li and his wife: "Go to your house, or, if there is a convenient place in your village to talk, if not, go to the county office." ”

"Go, go to my house." Su Wang's said.

Everyone followed Song Ning and Zhao Yi to Su Li's house.

There were not many people sitting in the hall, and Song Ning, who was not an irrelevant person, did not let people in, and even the village chief was guarding the door, not letting the idle people approach.

Wang Yao sat on a small stool against the door, holding her cane and trembling.

Su Wang and Su Li sat opposite, and Su Yunniang took her nephews and nieces next door.

The hall was quiet, and everyone was waiting for Song Ning to speak.

"In this case, I initially felt that there were doubts, and I wanted to take a look at it by the way, and it would be best if there was no grievance. Unexpectedly, after I walked around and asked, I had more doubts. Song Ning said and looked at Su Wang's family, "The main suspicion in this is that you gave it to me." ”

Su Wang's face turned white with a brush.

Yun Niang said that Xiuxiu came to tell her that Qing Niang was killed in the forest, and she first caught Xiuxiu and scolded her, saying that she was early in the morning. This is the reaction of a normal person, suddenly telling someone that a loved one is dead for no reason, and anyone's first reaction is malicious manipulation. Song Ning said.

Wang Zhutou nodded: "Yes, it is like this for everyone." ”

But Yun Niang said that her mother was in the stove house at the time, and her face turned pale with fright when she heard it, but she ran out directly. What does this mean? Song Ning said.

Lu Miaomiao raised her hand: "It shows that she doesn't think it's a trick on her." ”

"Yes, it means that she immediately accepted this message after hearing it."

After she finished speaking, the hall was quiet, Su Li wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and Su Wang asked, "My lord, what do you mean by this?" ”

"It shows that she has such preparation psychologically, so after hearing it, her reaction is diametrically opposite to Su Yunniang."

Su Wangshi pursed his lips and looked resolute: "My mother-in-law has always been smart, and her acceptance ability is stronger than others, this is normal, adults can ask others if they don't believe it." ”

"I'm telling you now, your mother-in-law is dead, what do you think?" Song Ning asked her rhetorically.

"You must think I'm scolding you."

Su Wang's mouth opened, and Song Ning had already continued: "This is just one thing, and the other is the question you gave me. ”

"You said that you saw Wang Xuezhu with his pants peeled and his butt exposed in the grass, and you immediately ran over, but you didn't see Su Qingniang lying on the ground?" Song Ning asked her.

Su Wang's family never felt inappropriate about this sentence, but when Song Ning asked her again at this moment, she sensed the problem.

His face turned pale in an instant.

"Liar, if I take off my pants, you will be so scared that you will cover your face and run." Lu Miaomiao said, "Don't believe I took it off?!" ”

He was about to take off his pants, but Su Wang subconsciously turned his face and covered his eyes.

Then I realized that I had done something wrong again.

"Why?" Song Ning stared at her, "Did you take the initiative to tell me, or did I take you back to the Yamen for trial?" ”

Wang Zhutou stood up and looked at Su Wang's in horror: "...... She lied and gave false witness? ”

At this point, if he didn't understand it, he would have lived in vain for so many years.

"I'm mistaken." Su Wang said, "It was too chaotic at the time, I, I can't remember clearly." ”

"But, but I don't know if I saw it alone, and there were other people who did see Wang Xuezhu holding his pants and grabbing the belt of his trousers." Su Wang's said.

Song Ning frowned and was just about to speak, when Wang Yao shouted: "My lord, she lied!" ”

She stood up as she spoke, pointed at Su Wang's family, and said word by word: "I know why she lied. ”

"You know?"

"That's right! Because she wanted to hide it, Su Qingniang didn't get married, but she had a man outside. Wang Yao said, "I knew about this not long after the accident, and once, I heard their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking." ”

"Su Qingniang is frivolous and profligate, she messes with wild men without getting married, and the other party doesn't marry her, their family feels embarrassed, so they want to pull my son as a substitute for the dead."

"My lord, I suspect that Su Qingniang was killed by her adulterer, but after Su Wang's found her in the morning, she happened to see my unlucky child, so she took the opportunity to bite Xuezhu is murderer, because she was raped and killed by Xuezhu, it is better than letting the yamen investigate and find out that she was killed by a wild man."

"She still has two daughters in her family, and once this thing comes out, the two daughters will be ruined!"

Song Ning asked: "What do you mean is that in order to cover up the scandal, she protected the innocence of Su Yunniang and Xiaohua, protected the innocence of the Su family, and framed Wang Xuezhu." ”

"Yes! It was too simple for her to frame the scold, and when she opened her mouth, she said that Xuezhu's pants were off. The adult also said just now, which little daughter-in-law saw the man's ass and rushed over? That's her conspiracy. ”

Song Ning looked at Su Wang's family, Su Wang's family stood up and roared: "You say this now, why didn't you say it then, why didn't you say it two years ago or three years ago?" ”

"It's useless for me to say it, what's more, the two of them are dead, but Yun Niang and Xiaohua are innocent, I ......" Wang Yao sat back and said in despair, "Two are dead, how can I bear it!" ”

Su Wangshi held on to the table, trembling all over: "You, it's nonsense!" ”

Wang Yao looked at Su Wang's in horror and roared angrily: "I didn't, I'm going to lie and thunder!" ”
