Chapter 108: Headless Female Corpse (8)
Xiao Qinglang walked out of the room and went directly to the room where Aunt Chu stayed to find her. At this time, he had in his mind Xu Chu's panic and embarrassment just now, as well as the rejection she might have anytime and anywhere, so his tone was quite solemn.
Aunt Chu, who was dispensing medicine, saw Xiao Qinglang's face gloomy, and she chuckled in her heart, she was very afraid of anything, but she was only afraid of Xiao Qinglang's cold face reprimand.
"Childe?"
Xiao Qinglang looked indifferent, looked at her for a long time, and then pursed his thin lips, and then slowly said: "There is still a vacancy for the post of inspector in the inner court, if you want to go, I will let someone arrange it later." ”
"Childe, I'm ......"
"If you want to stay, you have to. It's just that Xu Chu is not an ordinary woman, this ...... I was delighted to see her, and my heart was full of joy. If you honor me, you should honor her. He actually understood that Aunt Chu had no malice in her heart. Probably, I also think that a woman like Xu Chu is afraid that it is just to cling to her identity. That's why he was disrespectful to Xu Chu in words, and even a little contemptuous.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head. If Xu Chu really wanted to cling to himself, then he wouldn't have to work so hard.
Aunt Chu didn't expect Xiao Qinglang to come to find herself so solemnly, in order to give Xu Chu a positive body. She originally thought that Xu Chuneng had been by Xiao Qinglang's side for so long, and got along with Xiao Qinglang as a lowly person, she should be the kind of woman who could mock and ridicule her without self at will.
But he didn't expect that he was just a few words of contempt, which caused Xiao Qinglang to be so unhappy.
She could see that what Xiao Qinglang said was true, and Xu Chu did have a different meaning in his heart.
"Childe......" Aunt Chu hesitated for a moment, then straightened her attitude slightly, "Childe, you can know that her body is seriously damaged, and Xu is also contaminated with corpse poison. Today she said that she had also cut her pulse to diagnose and treat, if she was really as she said, how could she not know how powerful it was? If she has harmful intentions, what should Childe do? ”
This is also what she was suspicious about when she saw Xu Chu for the first time. The prince has been judging cases every day, and most of the people who are mad or powerful and wicked are investigated, so as many people in the world admire him, there are as many people who slander and hate him.
However, the prince went out of the capital to recuperate for only a few months, and there was an inexplicable extra woman around him. And the identity and skills are all valued by the prince. Such a coincidence, she couldn't help but think about it.
Xiao Qinglang's face changed suddenly when he heard this, "Can it be serious?" ”
Aunt Chu frowned, obviously she didn't expect that after listening to her words, her prince still didn't suspect it. But in this way, it can also be seen that the prince is really attentive.
"The corpse poison has not yet penetrated the bones, and it is not serious, but I often have unbearable back pain, as if I am overworked."
Xiao Qinglang saw that Aunt Chu didn't seem to be embarrassed, and guessed that Xu Chu's symptoms were not serious, so he said: "Now that the two Wei Guang brothers have recognized Xu Chu, if the eldest lady is really for me, I will treat her as good, and don't despise her because of her background." ”
Seeing that Xiao Qinglang's face was a little better, Aunt Chu said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, son, I will be measured by the two of you in the future." ”
Joke, you're going to drive me back to the inner court for her, am I going to be stupid enough to go against her? It's just that she wants to take a good look at what kind of heart this woman can make the prince so defending.
Just as the two were talking, Zhang Youwei rushed over with people. Originally, it was not big to cross the hospital, so even if he didn't deliberately look for Xiao Qinglang, he saw this noble boy standing in the side room when he was admitted to the hospital.
He stepped forward to say a few words of greeting, and then asked, "I heard that Miss Chu is unwell, and the official specially asked a doctor to come to see her." I wonder how the girl is now? Is it still possible to investigate the case? ”
It's not that he's inhumane, it's that he's anxious. A case where human lives are at stake, we can't delay it any longer. Last night, he held the freshly baked autopsy sheet, and he barely slept for a night, and his heart was tormented between autopsy and non-autopsy. finally made up his mind, Na Cheng wanted to listen to the people below early in the morning that Miss Chu was sick, and Zhou Gongzi sent someone to find a doctor early.
Just when the two of them were standing on the corridor to talk, they saw Xu Chu, who had cleaned up, rubbing his neck and opening the door and coming out. Although my face is still a little bad, and my spirit is slightly sluggish, I really feel much more comfortable after using the medicine.
Zhang Youwei saw that someone came out, and his anxious voice stopped abruptly, and then directly discarded Xiao Qinglang and turned his head to Xu Chu. That speed directly made Xiao Qinglang raise his eyebrows.
"Miss Chu is okay?"
"It's okay, it's just that my throat and nose are a little uncomfortable, and it's not in the way." As she spoke, she coughed dryly a few more times.
Seeing that she was still weak, Zhang Youwei hurriedly took out a small paper bag from his sleeve as if offering a treasure, and said: "This is a special watermelon cream made by my wife's mother's house, which can remove swelling, pain, white rot, reduce inflammation and swelling." ”
Xu Chu saw that he had an earnest face, and he didn't want to brush off his kindness. In addition, her throat was really uncomfortable, so she took it and sprayed some in her mouth, and sure enough, after a while, her throat became cooler and cooler.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhang Youwei asked people to prepare meals, he has always advocated diligence and thrift, and for Xiao Qinglang and Xu Chu, he specially made an exception to ask people to go to a restaurant outside to order seafood porridge and other food. However, Xu Chu's mouth and nose are uncomfortable now, so he naturally has no heart to eat.
Seeing this, Xiao Qinglang didn't force her, but only persuaded her to drink a few sips of hot soup and leave the table.
"Miss Chu, after thinking about it, I still think that if I can examine it in detail, it is not impossible to dissect the corpse." Zhang Youwei frowned, and the courtesy on his face was slightly restrained and said, "As you said, now the corpse has begun to decompose. Yesterday, when the official saw you inspecting, the nails on the corpse began to show signs of falling off, and if it was delayed because of the official's pedantry, I am afraid that the murderer's wish would be fulfilled. ”
"Well, that's the best way to do it right now. It's been so long since many of the features of the body surface disappeared or changed, and even if I was serious, I would inevitably miss many inferences. Xu Chu's nose was blocked and uncomfortable, and he replied angrily. From time to time, my eyes will hold back some tears due to nasal congestion.
Xiao Qinglang saw that Zhang Youwei's expression was a little distressed, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, so he took the initiative to say with a rare opening: "Someone once said that prison affairs are more important than the big opening, the great opening is not more important than the first love, and the first love is not more important than the test. The facts of the case are serious, but the law of the Great Zhou Dynasty also has a special case of allowing Xu to do an autopsy and autopsy, and the special case of the adults is also dedicated to the public, so there is no need to be too embarrassed. ”
When he spoke, his eyes looked at Xu Chu with more appreciation, and his expression was meaningful but with emotions that Xu Chu couldn't understand.
When Lord Zhang heard this, his spine straightened unconsciously, and a sense of respect arose. At this time, he looked at Xiao Qinglang and saw that his face remained unchanged, and the whole person was not complacent because he said such shocking words, but still stood still like the stone of Mount Tai, and couldn't help but feel in his heart that he was really a talented person in the country.
"Can Childe tell me where the person who said this is?" Zhang Youwei straightened his attitude and asked sincerely.
Xiao Qinglang retracted his gaze at Xu Chu, and said in a tone that did not fluctuate: "I heard that it was said by the ancients, I don't know what the adults have to say?" ”
"Where is there any insight, but when I heard such words, I sighed in my heart, if this person is alive, he must be a handsome person." Hearing that this was said by the ancients, Zhang Youwei was stunned at first, and then shook his head regretfully.
He is also a full reader of poetry, but he has never seen such words in any books. Just wanted to ask, but saw that Xiao Qinglang had calmly taken a handkerchief to take care of Miss Chu, and the two of them whispered in tacit understanding at this time, making it difficult for him to interject for a while. As a result, Mr. Zhang, who has always been confident and talented, also began to have some self-doubt at this time, isn't he lonely and unheard?
Because the corpse had to be autopsied, several people did not linger any longer. Of course, Aunt Chu, who heard the news, also came to ask to follow.
Lord Zhang was a little displeased, but Xu Chu was a little interested because Xiao Qinglang had told Aunt Chu about the origin, so he didn't say much.
In fact, Xu Chu is not unreasonable, but it is very likely that this corpse has been corrupted inside, so she needs someone to do it. Obviously, Xiao Qinglang is not suitable, he can deign to record the autopsy list for himself, it is already rare, to let him touch the corpse decaying corpse water, it is estimated that ...... Even if he is willing, I'm afraid that Brother Wei won't let him.
She had no intention of embarrassing others, but there was Aunt Chu, who was both good at medicine and had dealt with all kinds of corpses in the inner court, which solved her urgent need.
When entering the morgue, Aunt Chu couldn't help but secretly looked at Xu Chu for a long time, and saw that her expression was calm and cold, without any disgust or fear, so she was slightly speechless. But she was surprised, but she didn't believe that Xu Chu, a delicate little girl, really dared to dissect the corpse, and she was afraid that the ultimate was to examine the corpse.
In fact, it's not that she is looking at people in the cracks of the door, but it is actually the inspectors and servants she has come into contact with, most of whom are dozens of years old. Most of the time, when people stand in front of them, they will have a feeling of lifelessness and decay. This is too different from Xu Chu's handsome appearance, who is just over ten years old.
Just when she was pondering in her heart, she saw that Xu Chu had already walked to the side of the corpse. And the toolbox carried by the official was also neatly placed by her.
Xu Chu lifted the white cloth on the corpse, and the moment he saw the corpse again, he couldn't help frowning and sighing. Yesterday, I looked at the body that was still dry but swollen, and now it is becoming more and more unrecognizable.
She saw that everyone's faces were pale and unbearable, so she simply ordered atractylodes and soaphorns after distributing pills. Because he had already used vinegar yesterday, Xu Chuzhong used a small amount of vinegar to disinfect at the moment, and then gently pressed the chest cavity and other parts of the corpse to guess the changes in its interior.
