Chapter 13: Initial Post-Mortem

These two are brothers?

Lu Ziqing glanced sharply at Shen Qianmo and Qin Niansheng who were standing in front of him. One is an elegant and dusty boy, and the other is a sloppy boy with a gray face, these two must have been taught by a master? Why is this person wearing half of the mask, can't he show his true face?

But at the moment, he can't care so much, whether it's true or false will be left for later, and solve the problem in front of him first. The body had been in the morgue for two days, and it would only be more difficult to drag it out.

Shen Qianmo's eyes on Lu Ziqing. This is the legendary Dasheng Dynasty's youngest third-grade high-ranking official, and his momentum is really extraordinary. Dressed in a purple official uniform, his face is cold and restrained, but a pair of sharp eyes reveal his shrewdness, as if he can see through the secrets of your heart at a glance, so that you have nothing to hide.

This person is not easy to deal with. knew that Qin Niansheng was like this, shouldn't she dress herself up a little sloppily? Shen Qianmo straightened her expression, and saluted Lu Ziqing calmly: "Caomin Moxin, I have seen Lord Lu." ”

Lu Ziqing knew that he usually always had a black face and didn't smile, and ordinary people couldn't help but be a little scared when they saw him, but today seeing that this Mo Xin can look directly at himself so calmly, he really has a little bit of courage and a little appreciation for him.

"No need to be polite." He said coldly: "Since you are Qin Lin's apprentice, let's go to the morgue with this official." ”

The morgue was built in the basement north of the Punishment Department, where the temperature was cooler and the bodies could be easily preserved. Walking to the door, a cold wind blew, Shen Qianmo saw that Lu Zhu's face was pale, and she was frightened, so she asked her to wait outside the door. Luzhu loyally insisted on accompanying her in.

Entering the door, walking down a dozen stone steps, there are neatly arranged mortuary beds, divided into two rows, each row of 5. Shen Qianmo stopped and said to Luzhu, "Azhu, take out the things in your bag." ”

The name Azhu is unisexual, and it shouldn't make people suspicious.

Green Bamboo carried a blue cloth burden in his hand. After she opened it, she took out a strange lake blue dress and put it on for Shen Qianmo. The cotton and linen material is put in from the front hands and tied with a strap at the back of the waist. The clothes are very fat, covering the whole body, which makes Shen Qianmo's figure even more petite.

No one had ever seen this strange costume, and they looked at her with a strange expression. Lu Zhu took out another mask of the same color and put it on Shen Qianmo's face, and then took out a pair of white gloves to put on her, so that Shen Qianmo's whole body only showed a small half of her face and a pair of eyes. After being fully armed, she nodded to Qin Niansheng and said, "Let's start." ”

Qin Niansheng also put on a mask, walked to one of the beds in the upper left corner, lifted the white cloth covering it, and revealed a ** male corpse. The corpse has been parked for two days and began to emit the smell of corpses, although Lu Ziqing also wore a mask, he couldn't help frowning, and several officials next to him also turned their heads sideways, not daring to look directly, and the green bamboo was even more blue and white on his face, and he wanted to vomit.

This is Shen Qianmo's first real autopsy since she came here. Standing in front of a corpse so heavily armed, she immediately found a sense of professionalism that she had not felt for a long time, and felt that the cells in her body began to function. Lu Zhu looked at his young lady's eyes shining at a corpse in disbelief, and thought sadly: It's over, was Miss stupid because of the fire, why did it become so abnormal?

Shen Qianmo didn't have the time to care about other people's thoughts, she was bending down and intently examining the corpse in front of her.

"The deceased, male, between the ages of 20-23, ...... height" Shen Qianmo paused, she converted it according to the measurement size here, and continued: "About 6 feet, according to the corpse spots, the time of death is ......" She wanted to say 40-48 hours, but when she thought about it, she changed her words: "About 24 hours, that is, two days ago." ”

Shen Qianmo's tone was flat, and she said slowly without a trace of emotion, squinted at Qin Niansheng who was standing on the side, frowned, and said, "You write it down." ”

Qin Niansheng's brain has been in a vacuum since Shen Qianmo bent down to start the autopsy, he was calmed by the light in Shen Qianmo's eyes, and thought: This is professional! Suddenly hearing Shen Qianmo's command, he immediately subconsciously responded: "Yes." "Pick up the brush and brush the record, as if it was a matter of course to follow her instructions.

Shen Qianmo continued to examine the body. "The eyes were slightly cloudy, the nasal cavity and external auditory canal were not abnormal, and the mucous membranes of the lips were pale and undamaged. The teeth are intact with a small black object between the teeth. No neck injuries were observed. There was a slight bruise on the left chest, which was initially judged to be caused by external force, but it was not fatal. No abnormalities were found in the lower body. ”

Shen Qianmo looked at the deceased's lower body as usual, and when Lu Zhu on the side accidentally saw it, he almost screamed, and hurriedly covered his mouth and hid to the side. Lu Ziqing and Qin Niansheng also showed a hint of embarrassment. Shen Qianmo didn't care about them, she was carefully checking the palm of the deceased, and when she checked the palm of her right hand, she paused slightly, looked at Lu Ziqing and asked, "The deceased is from Wenju?" ”

Lu Ziqing was confused by Shen Qianmo's serious demeanor during the autopsy, and suddenly heard her question, and his always sharp eyes were stunned for a moment, but they were also fleeting, and then nodded and said: "That's right, I have checked with the roster of candidates, it is Du Yu, the eldest son of Suzhou Du Yuanwai." ”

Shen Qianmo thought for a moment and said to him, "Come and take a look." ”

The tone that could not be refused was a little tough, but Lu Ziqing didn't care, and walked up to her, Shen Qianmo said, "Look at his right palm." ”

Lu Ziqing is also a delicate and transparent person, and after being reminded by Shen Qianmo, he immediately saw the suspicion: "He is not a scholar!" ”

The child can be taught! Shen Qianmo nodded and said, "Judging from the distribution of calluses on his palms, it looks like he has been holding a sword for many years." ”

Lu Ziqing glared at Qin Niansheng with a dark face, and said coldly: "I can't detect such a superficial thing, and I dare to say that I am a fool!" ”

Qin Niansheng handed him an innocent look, lowered his head and slandered: Did I say that I was a fool? I've been emphasizing that I'm a starter!

There was no abnormality on the surface of the corpse, and no cause of death was found. Shen Qianmo asked Qin Niansheng, "Do you have a scalpel?" ”

Qin Niansheng replied slumbly: "Yes, yes, but ...... It seems to be rusty......"

Speaking of which, the voice became lower later, and it was a little lacking in confidence. Why do you feel a little ashamed? But can he be blamed for this, even when the master is there, he rarely uses it.

Hearing this, Lu Ziqing's face darkened. Shen Qianmo said helplessly to Luzhu: "Azhu, give me the knife in the bag." ”

Lu Zhu said with a bitter face: "Little ...... Childe, you're not really going to do that anatomy, are you? ”

Lu Ziqing's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the master and servant a few times, thoughtfully.

Shen Qianmo nodded to Luzhu and motioned for her to take it out quickly. Lu Zhu reluctantly handed her a small dagger with a light and sharp face. This is the first scalpel that Shen Qianmo drew his own drawings and ordered here, which can just be used to try whether it is smooth or not. She pressed her left hand on the deceased's chest, and with her right hand, the blade slashed in a straight line in the middle of the chest, and a little black blood oozed from the knife, and then a bloody gas spread in the room.

When Shen Qianmo cut open the chest of the corpse, Lu Zhu's face was already white, and now that she smelled blood, she turned her head and leaned down, and couldn't help retching, and the two yacha who followed Lu Ziqing also looked unbearable, and turned their faces one after another.

"If you can't stand it, go outside." Shen Qianmo let out a faint voice, but the movements in her hands did not stop.

"Little ...... Childe, I'll ......" Luzhu couldn't stand it anymore, she rushed out to ask, and then there was a sound of vomiting. After a while, the two messengers also ran out of the door.

In the morgue, except for Shen Qianmo, who was focusing on the autopsy, there were only Lu Ziqing, who looked at Shen Qianmo intently and checked the internal organs of the deceased as usual, and Qin Niansheng, who was writing hard with a pale face.

After a whole hour of examination, through the examination of all organs such as the deceased's head, heart, stomach, lungs, kidneys, and intestinal tube, Shen Qianmo finally came to the conclusion that the deceased died of respiratory failure caused by acute pulmonary embolism, and the cause of acute pulmonary embolism should be some external cause, because the deceased was in good health and had no disease. So is it these black substances in the gaps between the teeth? Shen Qianmo looked at the few black particles wrapped in the white handkerchief on her hand, and thought, this should be some kind of medicine, but what is the composition of this drug, she has to test it further. But she wasn't sure if she could detect it, because the conditions were too rudimentary, and there was a lack of instruments and tools.

In this case, the deceased may have died of poisoning. But who is he? Why do you want to fake Du Yu's identity? Where is the real Du Yu? This matter seemed to be getting more and more complicated, and Lu Ziqing fell into deep thought.

But today is finally a great gain, not only to find out the real cause of death of the deceased, but more importantly, to clear Fengze's suspicion, which is the most important thing. In the past few days, under the pressure of the Zhengxi General's Mansion, Lu Ziqing is still a little tired. Next, the first thing he had to do was to verify Du Yu's whereabouts and the identity of the deceased.

After two days in prison at the Criminal Department, Feng Ze was acquitted. He heard that it was Qin Niansheng's senior brother Mo Xin who helped him clear his suspicion, insisted on seeing him, and had to thank him in person, so he dragged Qin Niansheng to look for people around the Criminal Department.

At this time, Shen Qianmo was being questioned aggressively by Lu Ziqing in the side hall of the Criminal Department.

Lu Ziqing is such a shrewd person, since he found the clues in the morgue, he has seen through the fact that Shen Qianmo and the master and servant of Luzhu are both female companions and men's clothes. At this moment, he stared at Shen Qianmo with burning eyes and asked, "Who are you?" Why did you pretend to be Qin Niansheng's senior brother and disguise herself as a man to infiltrate the Criminal Department? "He has already sent someone to check on Qin Lin, except for Qin Niansheng, he doesn't have a second apprentice at all.

Shen Qianmo secretly complained to herself, this Lu Ziqing is really not easy to fool, was he recognized so quickly? She thought she was dressed like one. It's just that she can't tell him her true identity no matter what, this is not only related to Shen Guogong's Mansion, but also to Xuanwang's Mansion, and she can't afford this consequence. So she could only smile apologetically and said to Lu Ziqing: "Please forgive me Lord Lu, I really can't tell you my identity for the time being, but Lord Lu can rest assured, there is no malice in Xia, and I just meddled in this matter to help an old man." ”

"Who is the old man?" Lu Ziqing frowned and asked.

Shen Qianmo still shook her head, "I can't reveal too much in the future, please forgive me Lord Lu." She can't say that this old man is Feng Ze, so she can only be vague.

"Do you think that if you don't say it, the official won't be able to find out?" Lu Ziqing said coldly.

Shen Qianmo smiled and said, "I think that what Lord Lu wants to do now shouldn't be here to discuss my identity!" "Isn't the identity of the deceased more important?

Lu Ziqing snorted coldly, and when he saw that he couldn't ask anything, he brushed his sleeves away, thinking that he would go to Qin Niansheng first to understand the situation, he didn't believe that he couldn't find out Mo Xin's true identity.
