Chapter 47: Autopsy (II) 3,000-word chapter
After taking the autopsy sheet handed over by the old housekeeper, Sheng Mingyu looked at it carefully.
Although Sun Tongzuo is old, fortunately, he still followed the steps of the autopsy and conducted the autopsy step by step.
The deceased were all women and none of them were over 40 years of age.
There are no common features, and there is no connection between the deceased.
It can be said that the deceased did not know each other.
Since the deceased did not know each other, what was the motive of the murderer?
Why did the murderer target the dead?
After reading the autopsy sheet made by Sun Yan, Sheng Mingyu did not get the information he wanted to know.
Presumably Sun Yanzuo hasn't found out that information yet, right?
Since Sun Chengzuo didn't find out, it was up to her to find it herself.
Hearing that Sheng Mingyu wanted to re-examine these corpses, the old steward of Yizhuang hurriedly asked the officials below to take out the autopsy equipment that Sun Chengzuo had come to examine and did not bring back.
Burning the soaphorn atractylodes, the smell of the corpse in the ear room was gradually covered up by the smell of the soaphorn atractylodes.
Changing into the autopsy suit that Zhan Hongling had prepared in advance, Sheng Mingyu put on the gloves he wore during the autopsy, and then began the autopsy.
However, when she conducted an autopsy, she had to ask someone next to her to record what she had found on the autopsy sheet.
Obviously, the person who recorded it was Zhan Hongling.
After all, Zhan Hongling brought her out of the city, she didn't come to be the person who recorded it, who would be the person who recorded it?
Because the deceased were all women, when Sheng Mingyu examined the body, the men in the house all retreated, leaving only Sheng Mingyu and Zhan Hongling.
In the mortuary, Sheng Mingyu inspected and told the results of the examination, which were recorded by Zhan Hongling on the autopsy sheet himself.
The first corpse, which looked to have been dead for more than a month, was missing both arms and other parts of the body.
The first corpse, and the most decomposed of the four.
The thick smell of corpses instantly overwhelmed the smell of Saponaria atractylodes and attacked Sheng Mingyu's mouth and nose.
Sheng Mingyu hurriedly asked Zhan Hongling to find a thick cloth to help Sheng Mingyu cover his mouth and nose.
After covering his mouth and nose, the strong smell of corpses dissipated a lot.
But there was still a corpse stench, which penetrated the thick handkerchief and entered Sheng Mingyu's mouth and nose.
"The fatal wound to the corpse was the massive bleeding caused by the loss of both arms."
When Sheng Mingyu examined it carefully, he found that there were no other wounds on the corpse except for the huge wounds on his arms.
If you don't find the wound, you may have died of poisoning.
When Sheng Mingyu poked the deceased's throat and abdomen with a silver needle, none of the silver needles turned black, so the deceased died of poisoning, which can rule out this possibility.
When Sheng Mingyu was inspecting the corpse, suddenly, the arm of the second corpse twitched, and Zhan Hongling was so frightened that Zhan Hongling hurriedly threw out the autopsy sheet in his hand and smashed it on the corpse.
"Ahh Miss Sheng, there are ghosts! The corpse was alive, and just then I saw her arm and moved. ”
Zhan Hongling hid tightly behind Sheng Mingyu, pushing Sheng Mingyu towards the corpse.
Sheng Mingyu only felt helpless, he was at a loss to Zhan Hongling, or was he a well-informed catcher?
Why are you afraid of even a corpse?
How will you catch thieves in the future?
"Isn't it well-informed? How can you even be so scared of such a corpse?"
Sheng Mingyu said this, only to see that Zhan Hongling was still scared, hiding tightly behind Sheng Mingyu, holding Sheng Mingyu's hand tightly, and not daring to let go for a moment.
Seeing that she was so scared, Sheng Mingyu decided not to scare her.
Just now Zhan Hongling said that the arm of the second corpse moved, Sheng Mingyu turned around, came to the bed where the second corpse was placed, and carefully examined the second corpse.
The second corpse in front of me is not alive, but a reaction after the corpse is frozen and encounters high temperatures.
In the last life, when Sheng Mingyu met the doctor who came out of the palace, he learned a lot from the doctor.
The doctor is not only a skilled doctor, but also has his own set of methods for autopsy.
It's just that in the previous life, she followed the doctor and only studied for a few days, and she only understood a little bit of skin.
She wanted to continue her studies with the doctor, but the doctor left Tokyo City and disappeared.
I don't know if she can meet the doctor again in this life and learn this medicine from him again.
After the four corpses were examined, Sheng Mingyu did not find anything wrong, these four corpses were all killed by a knife.
The wound was so deep that it was cut into the bone marrow.
Presumably, when the murderer committed the murder, he must have exerted great strength.
In other words, the murderer must be a practitioner, so when he cut off his arms and legs, he came down with a knife.
If you are an ordinary person, I am afraid that even if the skin and flesh are chopped up, there is no way to completely remove the arms or legs.
In Sheng Mingyu's heart, he already had a clear direction for the murderer.
Either it is a butcher who specializes in slaughtering in the market, or a skilled practitioner.
In the process of Sheng Mingyu's inspection, Sheng Mingyu also found an extremely critical point, which did not appear in Sun Cheng's autopsy list.
It was the four corpses in front of me, and all the internal organs were shattered.
Except for people who have kung fu internal strength, it is difficult for ordinary people to do this, and one palm can shatter people's internal organs.
Zhan Hongling is also a practitioner, you might as well let her take a look, what kind of sect does this murderer's kung fu come from?
"Hurry up, come and take a look! When I examined the corpses, I found that the internal organs of these four corpses had been shattered with great force. I thought it was the murderer who did it. ”
Sheng Mingyu said, lifted the white cloth covering the corpse, took off the clothes on the corpse, and asked Zhan Hongling to use her own method to examine the internal organs of the four corpses.
"Miss Sheng, what you said is right, the internal organs of these four corpses have indeed been shattered by strong internal force, looking at this appearance, I am afraid that he is a martial arts master, and his skills will not be below me, and even compared to me, his internal strength is much higher than mine."
After Zhan Hongling inspected it, he said slowly towards Sheng Mingyu.
Since the internal organs of the corpses were shattered by someone with strong internal force, then the person who killed them was not a butcher or cook within the scope of their search, but a martial arts master with deep internal strength?
Since he is a martial arts master, searching and arresting is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
She doesn't want to find out the real murderer in her life.
Just when Zhan Hongling sighed and was about to come over and pull Sheng Mingyu away.
Sheng Mingyu suddenly remembered that since the murderer was a martial arts master and shattered the deceased's internal organs, then logically speaking, the deceased should also be dying.
But why did the murderer cut off the legs and hands of the deceased?
Isn't this leaving evidence for those who investigate the case?
Could it be that it was not the martial arts master who really killed the dead, but someone else?
Even so, let Zhan Hongling follow her original train of thought and track it down, maybe she can find any clues, or the key to solving the case.
Seeing Sheng Mingyu bowing her head and making no sound, Zhan Hongling raised her head and looked at her.
"But what comes to mind? Why don't you talk to me?"
After checking here and examining the corpses, Sheng Mingyu still doesn't know, what are the identities of the four deceased?
Sheng Mingyu decided to ask Zhan Hongling what he might find out from the identity of the deceased.
"Hurry up, I don't know what kind of people these four corpses are in front of you?"
Hearing Sheng Mingyu's question, Zhan Hongling approached Sheng Mingyu, looked around, and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his voice and cautiously returned to Sheng Mingyu beside him.
"Miss Sheng, these four corpses in front of you are all serving in the palace. It was the palace maid who served by Sheng Guifei's side, and Sheng Guifei sent to Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, to purchase medicinal materials for her. ”
"Half a month ago, I received the order of the noble concubine Niangniang to return to Beijing, who knew that before entering the palace, she died one after another. These days, some people have rumored that these four palace maids brought the plague in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou, which led to the disaster of killing. ”
"What's more, when the four of them came back, it is said that they came back in a carriage, and there was a huge cage in the carriage, and when the bodies were found, they did not find the cages they brought into the capital."
"This is killing people for money?"
Sheng Mingyu asked rhetorically.
Zhan Hongling shook his head, took Sheng Mingyu's hand, and went out of the ear room, preparing to go back to the yamen to give Lord Yin his life.
"These things are too strange, Miss Sheng still don't ask. But I can tell Miss Sheng accurately that what was in that cage was anything but belonging! It's a scourge! What a scourge! ”
Zhan Hongling suddenly laughed at the end.
Sheng Mingyu was startled by her laughter and took a few steps back.
Seeing her frightened look, Zhan Hongling turned around again, took her hand, and walked towards the carriage.
"Hurry up, what kind of scourge did you just say? Why don't I understand at all?"
"Could it be that in that cage, there are monsters that can eat people?" Sheng Mingyu asked.
Zhan Hongling didn't make a sound, and let the coachman start his journey.
Since she invited Sheng Mingyu over, she naturally had to send her back completely.
"The cage is not filled with people, but people, extremely terrible people?"
Sheng Mingyu was stunned when he heard this.
Zhan Hongling said that the cage that the palace maids brought into Beijing was filled with people, how could this be possible?
If the cage is filled with people, and if you stay in the cage for a long time, you may be dead, where can you still live?
If it's not a person, it must not be a person!
Sheng Mingyu seemed to be extremely tired, and not long after getting into the carriage, he fell asleep.
Zhan Hongling was afraid that she would catch a cold while sleeping in the carriage, so she took out a quilt and covered Sheng Mingyu.
Slowly, Zhan Hongling also closed his eyes.
Where could she tell Sheng Mingyu that the cages brought into the capital by the four palace maids were accepted by Kaifeng Mansion.
Out of curiosity, she opened the cage and took a look, and what was in the cage was indeed not property, but a scourge!
What a scourge!
Sheng Guifei was so bold as to bring the plague patients from Jiangzhou and Liuzhou into Beijing in a carriage?
What exactly is she trying to do?
That's a bloodthirsty monster, a man-eating youkai!
A youkai that falls asleep during the day and grows more and more crazy at night.
As for the whereabouts of the cage, she did not know.
But what she can be sure of is that someone has already transported the cage into the palace.
An unknown storm is creeping in.
As to whether this storm was a blessing or a curse, it is unknown.
