Although Xu Sanniang's corpse was not too decomposed, it had been buried for many years, the carrion was attached to the bones, and it was blue and black all over the body, if it wasn't for Gu Yanzhang's special guidance, just relying on Su Si to press with his fingers, for a while, it might not be possible to detect it.

Su Si felt that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he raised his head in surprise and said to the other two: "Here...... It's like there's an iron nail......"

The other two hurriedly followed the probe to inspect it, and sure enough, the place where the tentacle was more than the ordinary hard bones.

After the inspection, in order to be cautious, one person hurriedly took off the gloves on his hand and went to find Zhang Jiu not far away.

The four men were autopsied, and all the results had to be signed by them, and the manager of the Kyoto Prefecture had to join the army, and the relevant officials in the criminal department could confirm it together, and then the number could be counted.

Seeing that the situation here was not right, Tian Feng also turned his head dozens of steps away, although he did not make a sound, but the color of concern was overflowing.

Although Li Chengwei was talking to Xu Liang endlessly, he actually had five or six points of thought, but he put it on the autopsy here, and when he saw that it was wrong, he also kept his mouth shut.

For a while, Li and Xu, dozens of officials and servants, all looked forward to it.

Soon, a slender iron nail four or five inches long was carefully pulled out of Xu Sanniang's left chest.

The iron nail was not the same shape as the ordinary nail, the nail body was thinner, and the top was also unusual The nail generally had a flat head, but only the top was hastily smoothed. Because of this, after the iron nail pierced into Xu Sanniang's left chest, it was buried deep into the bone, and the head did not enter the flesh, the head was very small, hidden between the bones and the carrion, buried deeply, well hidden, Su Si pressed it hastily, but he couldn't touch it.

As the iron nail was held in Su Si's hand, he held it in the air, facing the sunlight, observing the color and remnants of the nail.

It was an iron nail, even though it was thinner than ordinary nails, but it was not a needle, and it was clearly reflected in the scorching sun, so that everyone in the distance could see it all.

The neighborhoods at Junyi Bridge Square and Baokang Gate were in an uproar, and everyone stared at Li Chengwei with unkind faces.

Xu Liang was about to crack, and two or three messengers stopped him, and he almost didn't take the candle.

He struggled forward like crazy, almost roaring and scolding: "The surname is Li, you are so vicious! You can't die well!! ”

Li Chengwei's face was very ugly, his figure only shook slightly, but he still stood still, and he didn't panic, he just turned his head to Tian Feng who was not far away and argued: "Governor Tian, Xiaomin has already said that because I don't know how good Neiko's condition is, I didn't see how much she was sick for a while, before Sanniang died, I was not by her side, this matter really has nothing to do with me, Xiaoming doesn't know why there is such a situation!" There were only the little girl Liniang and a few servant women who were guarding Sanniang's side that day, what medicine did they take, what did they see, but the villain didn't interfere! ”

Tian Feng didn't answer, and a messenger on the side had already stopped him: "Shangguan has his own conclusion, I haven't asked you anything, you don't have to say more!" ”

Not to mention the noisy place, on the edge of Xu Sanniang's coffin, the four servants were shocked.

Several of them are old people for many years, and there are no less than 100 corpses that have been examined, and with their previous experience, they can't make up their minds for a while.

Zhang Jiu whispered: "The dung gate is not swollen, should it not be due to arsenic...... This long nail is five inches full, and I can see that the sternum is concave, and it should be a long nail that stabs to death......"

Another servant in the Sentencing Division shook his head and said: "No, this long nail is not pulled out, although the sternum is concave, the shape is still there, when it will not die because of this, it may still be saved!" ”

Su Si frowned and said: "I only hate that the bones have been in the ground for too long, if you can see it when you stop the spirit that day, you can see whether there are any traces of struggle." ”

Another servant did not agree with Zhang Jiuzhi's words, and said: "The bones of this corpse are blue and black, the abdomen is bulging and swollen, and the eyes are bulging, this is arsenic poisoning. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the iron nails that had been soaked in vinegar water on the side, and said: "Although this corpse was vigorously penetrated into the bone by a long nail from the chest cavity, and the sternum was concave, the shape is still there. ”

The four of them insisted on their own words, and all their words were reasonable, but no one could convince anyone.

After the autopsy was over, the servants needed to sign the report, but they had different opinions, and the clerks who filled in the inquest could only register the shapes they had examined one by one, but they were stuck in the final submission.

The results of the inquest have not been made for a long time, and Quan Zhi Kyoto Prefecture Tian Feng has been a little waiting, he saw Gu Yanzhang standing here, so he simply walked over and asked, "What's the matter?" The corpse has been experienced, can't the cause of death be found? ”

Almost all of the officials who can sit in the position of Quan Zhi Kyoto Prefecture have served several terms as pro-people officials, and they must not only have outstanding resumes and outstanding abilities, but also have good governance skills and good enough butts to stay steady. Although Tian Feng has not sat in this position for a long time, his ability is beyond doubt, he has served as an official in the military of other state capitals for more than 20 years, starting from a staff officer, and the first time he won the official was the position of Anqing Army Push Officer.

The magistrate is already responsible for trying and investigating the case, although he may not have personally examined the corpse a few times, but he has mostly seen ordinary situations, to put it bluntly, who can be a high-ranking official, who will really be a mediocre talent?

After hearing this, several people naturally didn't dare to be perfunctory, and Zhang Jiu hurriedly came out and told Xu Sanniang about the situation.

Tian Feng didn't take this autopsy seriously, but after listening to Zhang Jiu's words, he couldn't help but hesitate.

One by one, everyone has their own reason, no matter which one they choose, they can't completely convince others.

For a while, there was some quietness.

Seeing that several servants were arguing, Xu Liang outside was angry and scolding, Li Chengwei didn't say a word, many people turned their heads to each other, even if there were officials to maintain order, but the scorching sun in the sky was high, and it dragged on like this, it was really hot, and many of the people who were invited to accompany the autopsy were people who had seen Xu Sanniang in the past in Junyi Qiaofang and Baokangmen, and everyone was very old, and they were afraid that they would not be able to last too long.

If you go back today, you will let those old people suffer from heat stroke...... Once you have a ......

Gu Yanzhang thought about it, and no longer hesitated, turned his head to Tian Feng and said, "Governor Tian should have been the governor of Xiangzhou in the first two years?" ”

Tian Feng nodded yes, but he didn't answer.

He was thinking about the cause of Xu Sanniang's death in the coffin, and was analyzing a few words, holding the inquest recorded by the officials in his hand and scrutinizing it carefully, and he didn't have the time to pay attention to Gu Yanzhang.

Gu Yanzhang asked again: "On that day, the officials heard people's words, and they only said that Governor Tian had done a lot in Xiangzhou, especially proficient in criminal and prison matters, and all murders were solved......

Tian Feng smiled politely on his face, but still didn't reply, but he couldn't help but scold in his heart: I thought he was really a practical person, but I didn't think that there was so much nonsense, and sure enough, this guy seemed to be just a waste of fame, and he couldn't say that he still relied on this kung fu to climb up.

I don't know what's going on, this world is really annoying, there are a few people who are capable and willing to work, it's all nonsense, and it all depends on selling lip service, but I see a lot!

I'm busy working right now, how can I listen to your flattery!

Tian Feng thought so, and on the other hand, he had already drawn a big red cross on Gu Yanzhang's head, and decided that if he met this person in the future, he would never be able to use it.

Although Gu Yanzhang didn't know what Tian Feng was thinking in his heart, he saw that the other party only looked down at the copywriting and didn't answer a word, and he knew that this person was not very willing to talk to him.

He didn't care about this, and asked again: "The lower official heard someone say that the prefect of Maeda had sentenced a case of a female corpse in the river, and the woman's family handed a message to the Xiangzhou Mansion's yasman, only saying that she was injured by herself and threw herself into the river, unwilling to conduct an autopsy, only saying that her clothes were intact and there were no obvious scars on her face, so it must not be a thing, and she wanted to preserve her dignity, and refused to let the male maid do the autopsy, and wanted to go directly into the ground, but the official refused, and determined that the deceased was not divided between men and women, and only by careful dissection could it not be caused to die in vain...... Later, the results of the inquest came out, and sure enough, he was raped and killed and drowned......"

Tian Feng listened to him talk for a long time, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't wait to pull out Xu Sanniang's patella in the coffin and plug this Gu Yanzhang's mouth, or plug his ears, don't let the other party buzz like a fly to annoy himself, so that he can seriously ponder the Chinese case.

Although I have seen it several times, I can't see anything, but I may not be able to look at it a few times, and I can't find the clues, even if I can't find the clues in the end, it's better to help than to stand here and compliment each other!

Tian Feng really couldn't help it anymore, raised his head and opened his mouth and said: "Deputy Envoy Gu also served as a general judge in Ganzhou in the past, I heard that he had sentenced a few strange cases that day, and he can be regarded as a rare practical minister in the same batch of Jinshi, I heard that you also asked the person in Ganzhou City to summarize the cases of dissection that he had encountered in the past, all of them were recorded one by one, and they have been summarized into a book for the reference of those who come. ”

While speaking, he handed over the Chinese case in his hand.

However, Gu Yanzhang didn't stretch out his hand to pick it up, but said: "Although Xia Guan has also been sentenced to a few years, he has a specialization in the art industry, and his experience is still shallow, how can he compare with the many years of work in the Criminal Division and the Kyoto Prefecture......

Tian Feng sneered in his heart when he heard this, and said secretly: You fucking know that your own experience is shallow!

While thinking, he raised his head, and said coldly: "That is ...... so"

Before he finished speaking, he only had time to get up, and he could already hear Gu Yanzhang on the other side and said: "The lower officials are not as good as a few servants, and they are far less than the cases tried by the Tian Governor's Mansion, but they have learned a matter from what the former Governor did in Xiangzhou...... Since it is 'only by careful dissection, can people not die in vain', this sentence can be used in the case of the female corpse in Xiangzhou, and it can be used in the case of Xu Sanniang, and it is also universal......"

Tian Feng was stunned for a moment, and the second half of the opening sentence of "That's the case", "You don't have to say much, and stand aside and wait", was already swallowed back alive, almost choking his chest, and reluctantly changed his words: "...... Just now...... It's not ...... already inspected."

Gu Yanzhang said: "Although it has been inspected, the flesh and bones have not been dissected, that iron nail is so deep into the bone, if it weren't for the careful work of Fang Cai, it would have been missed......"

When he said this, Su Si, who was standing on the side, endured it for a while, and finally couldn't help but explain: "Officials must not torture the lower officials, it is not that the lower officials are careful...... It's all up to Deputy Envoy Gu's guidance, if you don't have your hand-in-hand point, I'm afraid that this time I can only detect the poison of arsenic......"

Tian Fengqi was not there at the time, so naturally he didn't know that there was such an episode, and exclaimed: "There is such a thing? ”

Su Si hurriedly said the matter in front of him, although it was simple, it was enough to let people know that if it wasn't for Gu Yanzhang, the iron nail would definitely still be left in Xu Sanniang's chest and sleep comfortably.

Gu Yanzhang didn't pay attention to it, and only continued Fang Cai's words: "Although there are not too many cases that Xia Guan has personally inspected, it can be seen that the documents summarized by the former Ganzhou servants have also been reviewed by many doctors and medical officers, as long as it is arsenic to death, I have never seen the situation that the dung door does not swell, as for the nail in the chest, even if the sternum is broken, even if the sixty-year-old man is not worthy of death, let alone can drag on for a day or two, neither poisoning nor nailing, why bother to be entangled here, it is better to solve it and plane it, and take a closer look at the rest of the fatal points, There may not be new leads. ”

Tian Feng heard Su Si's words before, and he couldn't help but say in his heart: I actually lost my eyes, it turned out that this Gu Yanzhang was such a practical person who specialized in the art industry, and he actually made me mistaken.

At this time, I heard Gu Yanzhang's words again, in fact, they were really long and long, and they were not shorter than the words that praised "Tian Zhifu", but Tian Feng listened to it with joy, and only said secretly: Why don't you think this kid's voice is so good, and his words are quite insightful, I really have entered a dead end, and I am bent on competing with arsenic and iron nails, how can these children have flexible brains, in the end, the future of the DPRK and China will still depend on their generation, in order to get better and better.

I thought again: It seems that there is still a shortage of people in the yamen, I don't know if I can ask His Majesty for someone to come, good and dignified, what kind of deputy envoy to propose, Hu Quan will use someone if he has it! Stay in the Criminal Division, where can you really do things in Kyoto!

Still thinking in his mind, he hurriedly raised his head and ordered a few servants: "In this case, let's dissect it carefully according to what Deputy Envoy Gu said." ”

The four servants were able to speak, hurriedly prepared the materials, and began to dissect the corpses little by little.

Tian Feng was idle, his heart was itching, although he had not really found out the cause of Xu Sanniang's death at this time, but he had already had a little appreciation for the new official in front of him, and he had the heart to ask a few more words about the school examination, and he would use it in the future.
