The sky was hazy, the night was rising, Huang Xianling saw that Xu Chu no longer spoke, and was worried that she would find something surprising again, so he had to go to the door and ask the officials for lanterns and candles, and then lit the candlesticks in the autopsy room one by one.

The moon shadow was faintly bright, the grass and trees were mottled, and the cold wind suddenly poured into the coroner's room, making the candle flame sway from side to side, and between the light and the extinction, you could see that the original green corpse was covered with white plum cakes.

"It was bruised after abrasions, smashes on the shoulders, and scars on the wrists and elbows." Xu Chu pursed his lips, looked at others through the flickering candlelight, and then pulled out the scene on the file and said, "Look at the subcutaneous bleeding, it was all caused by his life. ”

Xu Chu glanced at the remaining few people, and saw that everyone was surprised, so he said: "Except for these scars, the corpse has no other serious injuries, and there are no injuries to the ribs, collarbones, hand bones, etc. It can be seen that Zhang should be standing in front of the person who started at that time, and then someone pinched her shoulder, Xu was in pain, and she subconsciously struggled to resist. Then he was pushed by the man's wrist, fell backwards and fell to the ground while standing unsteadily, or was pushed to the ground by the man......"

"So Zhang's body has scars on the buttocks, back, wrists, etc., but they are not damaged, and no vase fragments are inserted."

Xiao Qinglang looked at Xu Chu with interest and speculation, and did not interrupt her thoughts. However, Huang Xian Ling was much more impatient, and when he saw Xu Chu speak, he hurriedly asked: "That is to say, the murderer was standing face to face with the Zhang family at that time?" ”

"Don't be too arbitrary, sir. I can only find out that the deceased had pushed or argued with someone before his death, but I can't prove that the person is the murderer. Xu Chu turned his head to look at Huang Xianling, and said, "It's just that the adults can send someone to interrogate the subordinates in the kitchen of the Yu family to see who took boiling water from the kitchen on the day of Zhang's death." ”

"If it's difficult to investigate, then let people secretly find out who the Zhang family admired before they got married." She sighed, glanced at the silent corpse, and exhorted, "If you don't want to cause trouble, you must send someone who is strict and reliable." It's about Zhang's reputation, don't make extraneous branches......"

When Huang Xianling heard this, he immediately responded again and again, and then trotted out to make arrangements.

When he went to the autopsy room, he still thought in his heart that if he could let Miss Xu stay in the county office, then he would definitely be promoted and make a fortune in the future.

The previous case in Hejiacun had already alarmed the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department also specially sent an official document from the capital to come, if this had been placed before, it would have been something he would not have dared to think of. Squire of the Criminal Department, what a big official that must be.

And now, just before the arrival of the adults of the Criminal Department, he will solve another murder case, and when the time comes, he will sell a credit when he meets the adults of the Criminal Department, right?

Thinking like this, he walked to the door of the autopsy room, and was just about to lift his foot when he heard a faint phrase like "autopsy" coming from inside. Immediately, one of the feet he stepped in quietly retracted.

Look up at the sky, hey, it's a nice night tonight. Suddenly, another gust of wind blew, gloomy and cold, as if it was still a little calm, which made him shiver and shudder, and said to himself: "It just seems to be a little cold......"

After that, he chatted with the fast catcher waiting in front of the door, he didn't have any shelf, he was tired of standing for a while, and when he was tired, he saw that he was not done inside, so he simply sat down and waited.

"Are you saying that the Zhang family used to be a girl and promised someone?" Huang Xian Ling smashed the dry grass pulled from the corner a few times, and when he heard the officials on the side talking about Zhang's affairs, his ears couldn't help but stand up.

"It's not, it's just that Zhang Xiucai got the fame of Xiucai later, and he can't look down on that family, so he doesn't recognize it. The family was also honest, they didn't make any trouble, and they moved back to the countryside peacefully, and no one mentioned it later. The official couldn't help sighing, I heard that the two of them were still childhood sweethearts, but they said don't want it, this Zhang family is also a ruthless person.

When Huang Xianling heard this, he immediately glared and complained: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" ”

"The little one wanted to talk about it at the time, but as soon as he got up, you said that the little one was a long-tongued woman who would tell right and wrong." The aggrieved reply of the government service committee made Huang Xianling goosebumps.

"You've been wronged." He slapped the officer on the shoulder, then sighed twice, glanced at the autopsy room behind him, and said, "Let's wait and say, maybe it's bloody and busy inside, it's not good for me to go in recklessly......"

After speaking, he suddenly remembered in his mind that when he was in Hejia Village, the messy corpse that had been dissected and dissected, and his face instantly turned white again.

In the autopsy room, Chen Chengzuo at this time, that is, the older one, no longer had a pinch of demeanor, and after seeing Xu Chuzhen dissecting it, he directly gasped. This woman was really bold, and she slashed down without saying a word, knowing that even if it was him, he had to carefully examine the corpse before dissecting it and then choose a location.

However, between two breaths, I saw that Zhang's abdomen had been exposed. When the blade touched the flesh, it became more and more terrifying in the silent night where only the crackling of sparks. Rao is Chen Chengzuo is used to seeing dead people, and his scalp is numb unconsciously, and his heart is constantly worried.

He glanced sideways at the man who was luxuriously dressed and had a brilliant temperament, but saw that the man just watched Xu Chu's movements for a moment, and he was not half afraid, and a little admiration rose in his heart.

Although I don't know his identity, I may be able to do this, but I am not cheap, and I am really a very small person.

At this time, Xu Chu skillfully dissected the place where Zhang's pelvis cavity, and the sharp autopsy knife turned in the yellowed and constricted flesh, as if it had entered the water without hindrance. Chen Yanzuo was dizzying, but he was reluctant to look away, and he really wanted to take those skillful hands for himself.

Wait until Xu Chu dissects the uterus, and after the examination, he really finds clues.

"The endometrium is severely damaged, resulting in a thin uterine wall!" Xu Chu sighed, and said in a complicated tone, "In short, Zhang's miscarriage caused lifelong infertility due to a large month!" ”

"Big month?"

"Yes, if you have a miscarriage in a young month, you will not be left with irreparable stretch marks. It is only when the months are a little older that stretch marks can be caused. ”

Xiao Qinglang's face was slightly gloomy, and he took the relevant file next to the autopsy table and flipped through it, he had the ability to never forget it at a glance, but he finished reading the file record in an instant. There is no relevant record on it, even before mentioning her marriage, it was just a few words of praise for being gentle and graceful and being kind to others.

If the Zhang family was really pregnant before they got married, and the month was older, it is estimated that the rumors and spitting stars outside could drown her. Not to mention why Yu Fugui is willing to marry her if that is the case, just say that if she really corrupts the atmosphere, I am afraid that it will be impossible not to mention it in the file.

And now it is clean and clean, and there is not a word of rebuke.

The biggest possibility is that either the child is rich and noble, and the two had a personal relationship before they got married. Either Zhang's concealed that she was pregnant, and didn't even let people see the clues.

Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu glanced at each other, obviously understanding each other's thoughts. After proposing it, Chen Yanzuo couldn't help frowning and said, "How is that possible?" Pregnancy is a big deal, not just a matter of hiding a handkerchief. ”

Xu Chu saw that he was really a little puzzled, so he stepped forward to measure the deceased's body frame with his hand, and said: "Zhang's body is relatively plump, if you wear a wide Luo skirt, you can cover your stomach." As long as she doesn't act on her own, it is estimated that no one will think about it easily. ”

Saying this, Chen Yanzuo was stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case. It's like his daughter-in-law, who was five months pregnant and didn't know that she had a body, and others didn't notice anything. Later, she wore a small dress that showed her belly, and when she went out, she supported her waist, and the big guys knew that she was happy.

Xu Chu saw that he understood, so he bowed his head and said, "If I guessed correctly, Zhang's death should be related to this matter." ”

As for whether the fake copper coin is related to the case, more evidence is needed to prove it. However, judging from Xu Chu's battle of wits and courage with those people all the way, the methods and thoughts of this case are not like those of the thieves who are tired to death and the copper mine.

Of course, there are just in case, people are different, and everything is speculation until it is determined.

The new discovery of the autopsy indicates that there has been a new development in the case. Naturally, Huang Xianling's expression became more and more kind.

Among the crowd, Xiao Qinglang understood the solemnity and uneasiness in Xu Chu's heart. In addition to Xu Yanzuo's disappearance, there is also the copper coin that came from nowhere.

The cold wind is steep, and everything is lonely, especially around this gloomy autopsy room, which is even more gloomy. Compared with the hustle and bustle of the county, this is simply a place that everyone avoids.

But it's no wonder that in fact, not only in this county, but also in the entire Great Zhou, in addition to the work, how many people are willing to spend all day with corpses?

Several people walked side by side, only Chen Cheng made an eager inquiry, and Xu Chu patiently answered without hesitation.

After seeing Xu Chu's true skills, Chen Chengzuo no longer dared to rely on the old man to sell his experience, so he was humble and sighed: "Brother Xu really gave birth to a good girl, and the blue is better than the blue." ”

Although he was amazed again and again, there was some regret in his eyes. It's a pity that she was born as a woman, even if she has the ability to perform autopsies, she is just taking on some private work, even if she is used by the yamen, she is not a yamen official.

What a pity......

Xiao Qinglang listened silently to the words of the two, and from time to time answered a few words with the Huang County Order, as for the Huang County Order's open and secret flattery, he just didn't know. However, when he heard Chen Chengzuo's sigh, his steps were still slightly closed, and then he looked at the courtyard of Xiao Se and smiled: "She is indeed a strange woman." ”
