Seeing Hua Qiao wearing gloves and masks, Hu Yanjin knew that this girl was about to start "no one in her eyes" again, so she left Wang Chengzuo and the old scribe in the compartment, and pulled Yi Chengjin out by herself. Looking back again, Qing Yu didn't follow.

Yi Chengjin was a little puzzled and said, "The current girl ...... Are you so bold? ”

"Hua Qiao said that in the eyes of the man, the corpse is not a human body, but the last chance left to us by the original owner to see through the truth." Hu Yanjin smiled and walked towards Yu Tongju, who was standing far away under the tree. Take advantage of this time to talk about Chen Xuan.

Yu Tong saw the two of them coming over, quickly left the tree they were leaning on, and greeted them with a smile: I didn't expect that the two little entourages really came to conduct an autopsy.

"Yu Tongju, is there any news from Chen Xuan?"

Chen Xuan was his brother Chen Kai who escaped when someone came to arrest him before his brother Chen Kai was arrested, that is, the day before Chen Kai was arrested. The people of the Cleaner Division searched for three days, but they did not find anyone back. Yu Tongju was still wondering just now, why did the two of them investigate Luo Wenting's case first when they came, instead of asking Chen Xuan first?

Yu Tongju frowned and said: "The day after Chen Xuan escaped, the two men under Master Yi came overnight, but they were acting together with the Clearance Department of the Criminal Department, and we were only responsible for cooperating with the search of the academy. There were 32 children in the academy preparing for the exam, and in order to reduce the impact, the prefect only told the children to stay in their rooms, and we searched the list one by one. ”

"What day was the search? Did Luo Wenting show up? Yi Chengjin suddenly asked.

"On the day the Qing Officials Division arrested people, when they all went to search, Luo Wenting was still imitating the test in the bookstore. And after the search, the library was re-locked from the outside. The next day, the suspect Xu Zhijin went to deliver breakfast, and after entering the bookstore, Luo Wenting died. Someone proved that a few days ago, in order to compete for the time of the imitation exam, Luo Wenting and Xu Zhijin also had a dispute. ”

"Oh? What kind of dispute? As far as this official knows, Xu Zhijin is a modest person, how can he argue with others over such a trivial matter as the imitation exam time? Although Hu Yanjin and Xu Zhijin have not interacted, in the past ten years, based on what he did when he saw Xu Zhijin, he has long judged his personality.

"Luo Wenting is to blame for this, the academy originally arranged for him to take the mock exam next month, but he wanted to exchange with Xu Zhijin, who took the mock exam this month. Xu Zhijin agreed, but his brother Xu Zhiheng was not convinced, so he quarreled. ”

said that Xu Zhiheng was looking for trouble, but Hu Yanjin believed it a little.

In other words, the Department of Clearing Officials of the Criminal Department went to the academy to arrest Chen Xuan, they searched the academy and did not arrest Chen Xuan, but they proved that the deceased Luo Wenting was still alive at that time. After the search, the door was locked from the outside, and the key was held by Xu Zhijin, who was in charge of delivering the candidates' meals. The next day, when Xu Zhijin went to deliver breakfast, he killed Luo Wenting.

After the autopsy, Luo Wenting was indeed stabbed to death with the iron tip of a candlestick that day, and there was a testimony to prove that Xu Zhijin was seen to open the door with a key, and the rest of the children in the academy all had proof that they did not leave the bedroom that night, only Xu Zhijin had no one to prove, because his fellow room was Luo Wenting, who was closed in the study room to imitate the exam.

It is precisely because he is in the same room that Xu Zhijin is responsible for delivering meals to his classmates in accordance with the regulations of the college.

Hu Yanjin straightened out his thoughts, motives, time, and witnesses, Xu Zhijin was indeed the most suspicious, and it was not too much for the government to arrest him.

Chen Xuan is a little talented, he relied on his own imitation of a good hand, forged a fake edict for his brother, although Chen Kai has been punished, but Chen Xuan is also unforgivable. We will stay in Yangzhou for a few days, and our criminal department will also send more manpower, and please continue to blockade Yangzhou City, don't let him escape! ”

Yu Tongju hurriedly said yes. In the past few days, all the soldiers in the government have been dispatched, and the city gate has been strictly checked, just for fear that Chen Xuan will run away from their territory, but Yangzhou City is not small, and it is not impossible for Chen Xuan to find a place to hide.

The three of them were talking softly, and suddenly saw Tao Qingyu come out and wave at the door, Hu Yanjin and Yi Chengjin hurriedly walked over, Yu Tongju was embarrassed to say that he was afraid of the Yin people's longevity, and he also followed in.

Hu Yanjin walked to Hua Qiao's side, Hua Qiao raised her face, and the big eyes exposed outside the mask flashed with a hint of excitement. She pulled off her mask and hurriedly said, "Senior brother, I suspect that the time of death of the deceased was not the day before yesterday, but at least five days ago!" ”

"Five days!" Several people exclaimed in unison.

"It's impossible! Three days ago, we went into the academy to search for Chen Xuan, obviously we had seen Luo Wenting alive, he would never have died five days ago! Yu Tongju, who was standing behind Hu Yanjin, couldn't help but raise his voice.

What this little guy said was too outrageous, Yu Tongju hurriedly turned his eyes to Wang Chengzuo on the side, but he didn't expect Wang Chengzuo to lower his head, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't care about what he said.

Hu Yanjin looked at Hua Qiao and encouraged: "Tell me, what evidence is there to prove the time of his death?" ”

Hua Qiao shook her head: "There is no direct evidence, I just rely on feelings." ”

Yu Tongju almost wanted to laugh out loud when he heard the words "by feeling", he had never heard of it, and he could write a post-mortem list with a conclusion based on feeling.

Yi Chengjin also frowned: It seems that the little girl is still unreliable, how can she rely on her feelings when she decides the case and talks about evidence?

"What does it feel?" Hu Yanjin asked.

Hua Qiao lifted the clothes on the deceased's chest, revealing the right side of the chest, only to see that the corpse was covered with cyan reticulated bloodlines, Hua Qiao pointed to those reticulated veins and said: "This is called the Corrupt Vein Net, if the time of death was two days ago, with the current temperature, it should not appear so dense." And just now Wang Tongzuo also recalled that two days ago, the autopsy did not have these corrupt vein nets on the corpse. ”

Hua Qiao covered her clothes and said quietly: "Why is it that in just two days, the corpse has decomposed so quickly?" There is only one reason, and that is that the time of death of the deceased was not two days ago. But why the autopsy two days ago did not show up at all, this is unreasonable. ”

She lifted the corpse's belly again, and obviously saw that the corpse had emphysema, and everyone only felt disgusted, especially Yu Tongju, who was already eager to gouge out his eyeballs.

"The same is true for the swelling of the body and abdomen, and the emphysema to such an extent that it is impossible to do it in two days, at least five or six days. But what puzzles us is that the corpse did not show emphysema two days ago, but suddenly decomposed in the past two days. ”

She walked around Hu Yanjin, walked to the head of the deceased, pointed to several parts of the skin on her face and said, "Here, the skin has been frostbitten. Yangzhou in April, at the turn of spring and summer, why does frostbite appear, and it is on the face? ”

At this time, even Yu Tongju began to suspect that there was something strange about the corpse, and he couldn't help asking: "Wang Tongzuo, did you conduct an autopsy two days ago and found no frostbite marks on your face?" ”

Wang Chengzuo also had a headache, at that time it was a corpse examined at the scene of the bookstore, there was a dead person in the house, and the yin qi was very heavy, he mainly checked the murder weapon and the wound, the two matched, and the cause of death was determined. As for the corpse, there is nothing suspicious about it except that it is relatively cold.

"This can't be blamed on Wang Yanzuo, this kind of frostbite is easy to see after a long time of death, and the corpse begins to lose water." After speaking, she raised her head and looked at Hu Yanjin firmly and said:

"So I suspect that the water stains on the ground didn't knock over the bucket, but the ice turned into water!"
