Chapter 60: The Autopsy (Thanks to the "Seeking Fish" for the Reward)
"All the corpses of the Li Mansion are placed here?"
Wang Xu glanced at it, the corpse room was about the size of a hall, surrounded by dim oil lamps, and the ground was scattered with velvet grass to remove the strong corpse stench in the room.
The simple wooden shelves were filled with all kinds of corpses, some covered with white cloths, some simply left at all, and placed at random, like useless garbage.
As soon as Koma Caifu walked in, he raised his mask, took a packet of spices and put it on his nose, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word.
The coroner was relieved to see the performance of Ju Caifu, this is the reaction that a normal person should have, if he behaves without a reaction, or if he is willing, it is abnormal.
Just like the performance of the young man with a knife in front of him, there was no reaction, Leng Bingbing was more like a corpse, which was extremely weird, but because of this, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down slightly, and said cautiously.
"My lord is joking, these naturally can't all be the corpses of the Li Mansion, and some of them are from other cases.
The corpses that Li Fu moved in were all put at the forefront, but some of the incomplete ones had been disposed of before they entered the morgue, including some of the burnt charcoal that was not visible ......"
Wang Xu nodded indifferently, "Take me to see the body of the Li Mansion, and I'll ask you for other things." ”
The coroner saluted respectfully and led the way ahead.
He walked to a corner, deliberately took an oil lamp, and shone it in front of him.
The coroner leaned sideways, held the oil lamp steadily, walked a few more steps, and then pointed to several corpses covered with white cloths, and said: "My lord, these bodies were found in the hall of the Li Mansion, although they have been scorched, but they are still relatively intact, and as for the others that are difficult to identify, they have been destroyed on the spot." ”
Wang Xu nodded, very satisfied, dealing with smart people is the most easy, no need to say more, no need to ask.
He brought himself a layer of prepared gloves, and then slowly uncovered the white cloth, and suddenly there was an unbearable stench, but fortunately the velvet grass piled up on the ground absorbed some of it, otherwise this corpse was really difficult to enter.
The coroner next to him frowned, but did not move away.
Wang Xu paused, but still did not stop his movements, and did not stop until a pile of charcoal-like corpses was revealed.
He pointed indifferently, "What is the cause of death on them?" Also, are there the bodies of important members of the Li family? ”
The coroner's face was straight, and he arched his hand, "Tell your lord, according to the judgment of the lower officials, they mainly died in that fire, because judging from their bones, there do not seem to be traces left by other methods."
However, after all, the body has been destroyed like this, so I'm afraid I can't make a conclusion yet. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to one of them and said, "Your Excellency, this corpse has a narrow and high pelvis with a thick and rough pelvic wall. ”
As he spoke, he slid his fingernails on the bone wall, "Coupled with the thick skull and rough bone surface, it should be a man's bone." And the one next to it is obviously a female skeleton. The other three are one woman and two men.
As for whether it is an important member of the Li family......"
The coroner hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "The lower officials can't tell the difference, it's really difficult to confirm." ”
After listening to this, Wang Xu asked silently: "How can there be only these five, as far as we know, the hall should be deliberating or doing other things at that time, how can only these five bodies be left." ”
"My lord doesn't know, these corpses have been selected by subordinates and colleagues to be representative, and the other corpses are worthless and have been disposed of."
The coroner hurriedly argued.
"How many are there?"
Wang Xu suddenly asked softly.
The coroner was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully, "There are probably a dozen of them that can be spelled out." ”
"How many men and how many women?!"
Wang Xu's voice became solemn again.
The coroner hurriedly knelt on the ground, "My lord, there are seventeen bodies, only four female bones, and the rest are all male bones." ”
Wang Xu was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and asked him to stand up, "Take me to see the other corpses." ”
"Okay, sir, go this way."
The coroner had cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it, he now felt that this master was a little moody, so it was better to be careful.
He covered the white cloth that had just been pulled open, and walked inside, saying as he went, "My lord, there are the last two corpses in front, and these two are more ...... It's weird. ”
He thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to describe it, and finally said with a different face.
Wang Xu asked calmly, "Where was the body found?"
He followed the coroner for a few steps before stopping.
"It's in the back kitchen of the Li Mansion."
The coroner carefully lifted a white cloth stained with blood with his gloved hands, "These are these two." ”
Wang Xu's eyes shrank under the mask, but he calmed down in an instant, he rummaged around casually, and asked, "What's the matter?"
The coroner covered the white cloth and said in a low voice: "I don't know, one of these two has obvious knife marks, and it is judged that he should have killed him, and the other body has too serious burns, some can't understand it, like it was burned to death or like it was stabbed to death with a knife, one knife sealed the throat, and the other stabbed in the heart."
If it's just these, it's nothing, Xia Guan has been autopsied for so many years, and no matter how strange the injuries are, I've seen them, but ......"
He took a deep breath, a hint of horror flashing in his eyes, "But there is something in their stomachs, at first we thought it was the meat of livestock, but from the bones it was not any known animal, but ......
But...... It's like human flesh! ”
After the coroner finished speaking, he licked his dry lips, "But how can people eat human flesh, what livestock can there be in the Li Mansion?" So some people speculate that the murderer was extremely vicious, not only physically, but also mentally torturing the other party. ”
Even he shuddered a little after he finished speaking, how much hatred this is, or how vicious his person is, to torture a person like this.
"My lord, that's basically it, there are no other corpses in the Li Mansion."
The coroner waited for a while, but found that there was no response, and he looked up cautiously to see that the person was far away.
Wang Xu walked out with the horse Caifu who couldn't wait for a long time, and Huang Lao heard the sound outside the door, bowed down, and opened the outermost wooden door, and the warm sunlight was waiting for them outside the door.
"This dead man lives forever in the dark, and the living always go to the sun."
Huang Lao squinted his eyes and said with emotion.
"Dead people are good, no one cares what they want to do."
Wang Xu replied lightly and got into the carriage.
"Whew-"
On the carriage, Ju Caifu shook off the bad luck on his body, opened the window wide, and took a few deep breaths, "Brother Xu, I only know how good it is outside now!" ”
"It's good outside."
Wang Xu looked at Yaoyang and muttered to himself.
