At this time, the official who went to fetch the pork bones also came with a bag of bones.

Xu Chu picked and chose a bone from the pork bone that looked intact and undamaged.

Then the ink that had been ground to a thick black was slowly smeared on the skull of the deceased and the seemingly smooth and undamaged pig bone. But a quarter of an hour the ink dried, and then she washed it with water, but she saw that the skull was still white, and there was no strange thing about it. On the pork bone, there were wisps of ink-colored traces, and she never washed it even if she washed it with a cloth towel.

At this point, everyone's expressions were puzzled and turned into sudden realization. With such a comparison, who can't think of the truth?

Xu Chu compared the skull with the pig bone, his tone was cold, and he looked at Qin Tiezi's mother, who was still going crazy just now, without emotion, and said: "It has been recorded in ancient books that the ink washing method is used to examine the bone wounds, and if there is damage, the ink will be soaked, and if it is not damaged, the ink will not be soaked." ”

"I won't say if I'm afraid that you will be unreasonable, but I'm afraid that you folks will have doubts, so I'll use a pork bone as a comparison. If you don't want to admit it, that's fine, I'll just prove it in another way. ”

The old lady of the Qin family looked at Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang's condensed eyes, and her face, which had just eliminated the color of fear, turned pale again. She avoided Xu Chu's gaze in a panic, and hurriedly said, "I...... I think that's it......"

Xu Chu did not soften his tone because of her admission, but took a step forward and approached the old lady of the Qin family and sneered: "Do you think that Niu Daxiong did not kill anyone, or do you think that you deliberately falsely accused Niu Daxiong?" ”

The old lady of the Qin family had a panicked face and sat on the ground in a panic, the expression on her face was like seeing a ghost.

"The deceased's bones are bruish-black, but they are not the result of poisoning and injury, and if my guess is correct, he must be suffering from a disease. Qin Song clan, as the mother of the deceased, do you really know nothing about this? She leaned over and looked at the old lady of the Qin family who was trembling in shock.

It wasn't until Qin Song's decadent head cried that Xu Chu turned around and bowed his head lightly to Qian County. The Qian County Order ordered two officials to escort the people back to the yamen to wait.

proved that the original accusation against Niu Daxiong was not established, and the Niu family, who had been being pointed at and frightened on the side, hugged each other and cried. Without waiting for Xu Chu to gather the tools of the autopsy, the Niu family knelt down and kowtowed to her one after another.

Even if Xu Chu is a fool, so what, in their eyes, she is the benefactor of their family. Not to mention that she cleared the suspicion of Niu Daxiong, but only said that the big stone that had been pressed on the back of the Niu family over the years was also moved away by her.

The father of the Niu family cried with joy: "In the future, who dares to say behind his back that our Niu family is a murderer, and I will tear his mouth apart." ”

Most of the onlookers are simple and honest people, although sometimes people will say some bastard things, but in fact, there are not many bad intentions. At this time, some people are embarrassed and some people feel guilty, but it is more of a comfort to the Niu family.

After the matter was settled, the group went to the burial place of Peng Yiguang, who was tested to have died of poisoning.

Compared with the humble grave of Qin Tiezi before, Peng Yiguang's cemetery was repaired on a large scale. The bluestone stele is in front, and the back is the tomb bag made of blue bricks, and there are semi-arc walls around the left and right, and there is an artificially excavated water tank under the four sides, which leads the river water to flow through from a distance.

Even though Xu Chu doesn't understand feng shui, he will feel that this cemetery must have been specially seen by the Peng family.

The father and mother of the Peng family had already brought their subordinates to wait here, and beside them, there was a young man in a splendid robe. Behind the boy were two middle-aged men and women with heavy faces.

"Peng's father and mother were depressed because of the tragic death of their only son. Because he felt that there was no successor and no one to inherit the family business, he succeeded Peng Zhongyi, the second son of his cousin's family who grew up with Peng Yiguang since he was a child. The young man who is now standing on the side of Peng's father and mother is Peng Zhongyi, and the men and women behind him are his biological parents Peng Deguan and Peng Zhang. ”

Xiao Qinglang whispered a brief introduction to the intricate relationship between the Peng family, and Xu Chu, who listened, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

She suddenly remembered that Xiao Qinglang once said that some people will break their teeth and swallow them for the sake of the so-called continuation of the family bloodline, and finally whitewash the peace.

She didn't know if the Peng family was like this, and she didn't approve of their decision, but in her heart, she didn't approve of this approach.

The Peng family is also a well-informed family, and when they saw Xiao Qinglang and others coming, even though they were sad in their hearts, they also saluted. Naturally, there was no contempt for the maid brought by Xiao Qinglang.

"If nothing else, let's do an autopsy first." Xiao Qinglang's status is enough for him not to greet the Peng family without being criticized.

The father and mother of the Peng family naturally knew that the person in front of them was not the Qian County Order, so they didn't say anything more, and directly asked the successor Peng Zhongyi to sacrifice for his brother.

Just when the coffin was opened, he saw Feng Yanzuo standing out of the crowd, his brows furrowed and his face was ugly: "My lord, the body of the son of the Peng family was examined by the grass people themselves. Now that the autopsy is being re-examined, the grass people can't believe this woman who doesn't know where she came from, so they ask to be examined with her. ”

If he obstructs it directly, maybe Xiao Qinglang and Qian County Ling can still reprimand him. But now, his words are appropriate and reasonable, but others cannot blame him.

However, he suddenly intervened, although it was unexpected, but it also made Xu Chu feel very good. was able to suddenly question her with Xiao Qinglang's face, and it was after seeing her previous bone examination, which was enough to show that he was more or less weak-hearted.

And under the weakness of the heart, he will inevitably do something more. As for what to do, Xu Chu probably had a doorway in his heart.

Thinking of this, she was not annoyed, and said directly: "Since this is the case, then Feng Qizuo will come together." But I don't know if you want to see this corpse a priori, or if I want to examine it, or if you and I will examine it together? ”

The Peng family's father and mother naturally couldn't ask for two well-known post-mortems for re-examination. Peng Deguan and his wife on the side were also quite relieved when they saw this, and whispered a few words of comfort to the Peng family's father.

Regardless of whether their concerns were true or not, it was enough to make Xiao Qinglang frown.

Feng Yanzuo said with a cold face: "You want to overturn my autopsy conclusion, and now the autopsy is re-examined, naturally I have seen it a priori." If I am sure again that the deceased died of arsenic poisoning, it will not be too late for another girl to examine him. ”

Xu Chu did not hesitate to respond to his words. She glanced slightly at the coffin, then leaned sideways to signal him to step forward first.

Feng Yan was also meticulous, put on gloves and took out the vinegar and cloth towel from his toolbox, and then gently wiped some of the white bones that adhered to the bedding under the bones.

When the bones were taken out one by one, everyone was shocked to find that the white bones were a little black in some places.

In this way, the inference of arsenic poisoning in his mouth has won the approval of many people. Only Xu Chu and Xiao Qinglang frowned, and continued to watch his movements quietly.

Perhaps because of the support of others, Feng Yanzuo's anxiety in his heart was slightly dissipated, and he raised his voice and said: "Since it is arsenic poisoning, then it is necessary to boil bones for poison testing...... After speaking, he looked back at Xu Chu and said, "Speaking of which, the girl should be no stranger to this method, and in the white bone case that everyone is surprised by, the girl should have used this method." ”

What he said was meaningful, with a bit of cunning, and it was far from the brutal image of the five big and three coarse.

Xiao Qinglang saw that he could actually tell what happened at the beginning, his heart was cold, and his eyes were cold. During the original autopsy process, he had already given a gag order, and even Mingzhu had told him.

And Feng Yanzuo in this remote place can be put forward so easily. This matter really can't be taken lightly by him.

He suppressed the coldness in his heart for the time being, and only glanced sideways at Xu Chu. In addition to his suspicion of Feng Yanzuo, Xiao Qinglang was also a little suspicious of his words.

At the beginning, Xiao Qinglang had seen Xu Chu cook the bones with his own eyes, but he had never heard that boiled bones could also test for poison.

Xu Chu heard him mention the White Bone Case, and his heart was shocked. However, considering that there is no impermeable wall in the world, the original case was a sensation, and it is not uncommon for the autopsy process to be leaked. However, boiled bones for poison testing...... He's really opportunistic.

Seeing that Xu Chu did not answer, Feng Qizuo became more and more proud. He put the bones in a pot and boiled them for a while, and then fished them out, but saw that the color of the white bones had all dimmed.

In this case, who can not believe that the deceased died of poisoning? After all, the most common thing in the book is that someone poisoned with arsenic, and in the end, even the bones of the deceased turned black.

"I wonder what the girl has to say about this? This forest is white, but it is so black and dull, except for the reason for the poisoning, I really can't think of another reason. Feng Qizuo fished out the skeleton and put it on the white cloth, and the blackness became more and more obvious.

"I often look at the autopsy methods that have been leaked out everywhere, and I have known that there has been an experience since ancient times: arsenic poisoning, poisoning before death, the whole body is blue and black, and after a long time, the skin and flesh rot and see the bones, and the bones are black. Since the girl has been working in the family for generations, she must be no stranger to this statement. ”

Originally, when the skeleton was fished out, looking at the wrong color, the onlookers were already embarrassed. If you are bold, you will directly persuade Xu Chu to come, so that she can admit that the deceased died of poisoning.

Now, listening to Feng Tongzuo's eloquent talk about the autopsy method, they are even more convinced.

So much so that a few women had already looked at Peng Ning, who was trembling and sobbing in the corner, and scolded. After all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, no matter how she says, she shouldn't do this to the person next to her pillow.

Only Xu Chu sneered and said, "Who said that arsenic poisoning will turn black bones?" And who said that blackened bones must be poisoned? ”
