readx;? The clues provided by Lu Baiyu are of great value, at least it can explain that before Huai Hua'er, except for Zhao Gaoyi, there were indeed other people who stayed in the practice room, and they also knocked Huai Hua'er unconscious, changed into her clothes and went out.

But whether this person is a man or a woman, and whether he is really the daughter of Longshu Toast, needs further verification.

It stands to reason that this old mother has no reason to tell lies, but Yang Jing still told Lu Baiyu the results of the interrogation, asked her to verify it, and asked her to go to the gatehouse to inquire about the guards in the mansion and the guards who kept vigil to see if they had found anyone in and out of the Zhao Mansion.

After Lu Baiyu took the order and left, Yang Jing was a little uneasy, so he simply acted separately, and asked Wang Buliu and Lu Changan to also go separately to inquire about the news, anyway, he did the autopsy himself, and inquired about the news, whether Wang Buliu or Lu Changan, it was a good hand.

And they are all vicious people, whether the person being questioned is lying or not, they can see at a glance, and the efficiency should be much higher than that of the deer and white fish.

After making these arrangements, Yang Jing came to the mourning hall with the ugly man.

The people in the mourning hall were dismissed, and the eldest lady Zhao Chen was left in charge of the overall situation, Yang Jing nodded with her, seeing that her face was a little gloomy, and she also knew that opening the coffin was a big taboo, especially for a person with Zhao Gaoyi's status, it was a little unreasonable to delay the burial, and now it was a little difficult to accept that the coffin was to be opened.

Although she and Zhao Gaoyi have different dreams in the same bed, they are still husband and wife in name, and now that Zhao Gaoyi is dead, the entire Zhao Mansion is counting on her as the eldest lady, even if it is not for Zhao Gaoyi, she should also think about her own children, and hope that this matter will be resolved as soon as possible.

Yang Jing, Wang Buliu and others speculated earlier that Zhao Chen's had stayed in the practice room based on the quilt, but in the end they found that it was just a misunderstanding.

"Madame, let's take care of this coffin opening, and ask Madame to avoid it for the time being. ”

Zhao Chen heard Yang Jing say this, so he nodded and left the mourning hall as well.

Yang Jing looked at Zhao Chen's back and pondered for a while before he instructed the servant, "Open the coffin." ”

The servant hurriedly pushed the lid of the coffin open, and Yang Jing opened the investigation box, put on gloves, and conducted an autopsy.

Although it was already August, the temperature during the day was still relatively high, and the body had been parked for a few days, and the smell was already very strong, so Na Zuo couldn't help retching as soon as he opened the lid of the coffin.

Yang Jing's face was as usual, and he first observed the corpse, but he saw that Zhao Gaoyi was really as Wang Buliu described earlier, the skeleton was strong and tall, and the fingers were thick and short, at this time, the inside of the corpse had begun to decay, producing corpse gas, the corpse was swollen, the belly was high and bulging, and the eyes were bulging, but judging from the color of the body skin and other appearances, there were indeed no signs of poisoning and injury.

Yang Jing asked the servant to take off Zhao Gaoyi's shroud, checked the corpse spots, and found that the corpse spots were mainly concentrated on the back buttocks and the back of the thighs and arms, which corroborated the testimony of eyewitnesses, Zhao Gaoyi was indeed lying on his back when he died, and the practice room was also the first scene, and the body was not moved.

However, what made Yang Jing feel strange was that although the corpse had swelled, the swelling of the stomach was really terrifying, the high bulging belly was like being pregnant for nine months, and the skin was stretched thin and shiny, as if it would be broken when poked.

This Zhao Gaoyi's corpse is really as previously understood, except for some old scars, there are no other abnormalities on the body, and even the degree of decay is relatively slight, and it is extremely well preserved.

If there is something really eye-catching, it is that Zhao Gaoyi's lips are red and black, and when he opens his lips, his teeth are black, and there is a layer of black calculus in the inner socket.

Could this be a sign of death from poisoning?

Yang Jing looked at the work and dispelled this thought, because the lips were also red and black, and the teeth were also jet black, and even the few Zhao Gaoyi guards he saw earlier were in the same situation.

Yang Jing knew that this was not caused by poisoning, but because these people were used to eating betel nuts!

Betel nut is also known as big belly, has the effect of dissipating accumulation, phlegm, malaria treatment and insecticide, etc., cut open boiling water to drink can drive roundworms, since ancient times it is the good fruit of welcoming guests in the southeast coastal area, because betel nut homonym "Binlang", the meaning is very good.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo once wrote a poem about the red tide and drunken betel nut, which is the favorite chewing hobby of the southern ethnic minorities, and the Lingnan people use betel nut to resist miasma and poisonous insects, and use licorice to ward off evil spirits.

These people also like to use betel leaves, that is, betel leaves wrapped in betel nut and lime to chew, can stimulate the nerves, make people excited, this way of eating has been spread, there is still a tradition of wrapping the mixture in India to chew, and long-term consumption of betel nut may produce hallucinogenic and addictive.

The Yuezhou Army is located on the periphery of Baling's ethnic minority settlements, and although the military town is quite lively, it is easy to understand that the soldiers are contaminated with local customs and chew betel nut for a long time when they are bored.

However, what made Yang Jing feel strange was that the same Yuezhou army, Luo Jin and his subordinates did not have a similar situation.

Putting these aside, if you want to determine the cause of Zhao Gaoyi's death at the moment, you can only dissect the corpse, but the autopsy requires Zhao Chen's consent, Yang Jing had to ask Yu Zuo to discuss with Zhao Chen, but Zhao Chen agreed.

Yang Jing asked people to close the mourning hall, and did not allow idle people to enter and exit, and sent the work out, so he started the dissection work alone.

He carefully inspected Zhao Gaoyi's body, and even checked his scalp, and there was indeed no external injury, and now to rule out whether Zhao Gaoyi died violently, it is necessary to check the condition of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular organs and tissues.

Of course, the most important and most eye-catching thing is Zhao Gaoyi's exaggerated belly.

It is said that Zhao Gaoyi has been practicing martial arts all year round, and it can be seen from the tendons and flesh on his hands and feet that this conductor is extremely well maintained, and his figure is also strong, without a trace of fat and excess fat, this poop and belly is really strange.

Yang Jing took out the marker pen and drew a positioning line on Zhao Gaoyi's body, when the tip of his pen crossed the bulging belly, Yang Jing's heart suddenly trembled, and he stopped in a hurry, and gently pressed his palm on the belly, after a while, Yang Jing's hand trembled!

Because he felt the beating!

Yes, it's the pounding of the heart!

Yang Jing leaned down, his ear was close to Zhao Gaoyi's chest, naturally he couldn't hear his heartbeat, Yang Jing moved his ear to his stomach again, but this time he really heard the heartbeat!

Strictly speaking, it is not Zhao Gaoyi's heartbeat, but the kind of heartbeat similar to that of a fetus, rapid and powerful, stronger and more obvious than an ordinary fetal heartbeat!

"Could it be that Zhao Gaoyi's belly is a fetus?!!! this is impossible!"

Yang Jing has been engaged in forensic work for a long time, and has seen, read and heard many strange cases, but this is the first time I have seen this situation!

He knew that there would definitely not be a fetus in this belly, because Zhao Gaoyi was normal before he died, and the fetus needed several months to grow, and it was impossible for it to grow up to what it was now in just a few days.

So what is in Zhao Gaoyi's belly? Why does the fetus's heartbeat occur?!!!

This made Yang Jing temporarily forget to dissect other places and rule out the vicious disease and violent death, and all his attention was attracted by this slippery belly!

Yang Jing touched the stomach again, put his ear on it and listened to it for a long time, and after confirming that it was correct, he pinched the scalpel, but after several times, he still couldn't do it, so he could only walk out of the mourning hall and let a secret inspector who was guarding outside go and find Lu Baiyu back.

Lu Baiyu hurried back, and when he saw Yang Jing, he told him that the old mother's words had confirmed that someone had indeed come out of the practice room wearing Huaihua'er's clothes that night.

Where is Yang Jing still in the mood to take care of these problems at this time, his mind is full of the high bulging belly, and the curiosity occupies all his attention, he is too curious, because he has never seen such a situation!

"Eldest sister, let's take a look first!" Yang Jing was anxious, so he took Lu Baiyu's hand and walked into the mourning hall, Lu Baiyu shrank his hand, but after all, he was still led by Yang Jing and walked into the mourning hall.

When she saw Zhao Gaoyi's high bulging belly, Lu Baiyu's face also became serious, she first checked Zhao Gaoyi's nails, and then opened Zhao Gaoyi's mouth to check it, and then gently put her hand on her belly.

Yang Jing had also examined Zhao Gaoyi's limbs earlier, and in addition to the lack of injuries, he also found a problem, Zhao Gaoyi's body did not appear to be stiff, but this did not cause him special attention.

Because mortis will appear one to three hours after death, and depending on individual differences, some may even appear in more than ten minutes, and then after a day or two, the mortis will begin to slowly relieve.

Of course, there are also cases where the stiffness begins to be relieved within a few hours, as the enzymes inside the body's tissues begin to digest the muscles themselves, also known as autolysis, which is also the natural process of deterioration.

Five days have passed since Zhao Gaoyi's death, and it takes three to seven days for the corpse stiffness to be completely lifted.

But now looking at the mobility of Zhao Gaoyi's limbs, Yang Jing finally couldn't sit still.

This Zhao Gaoyi's limbs are too soft, and the skin has not lost its luster, as if his body is still alive, if it weren't for Lu Baiyu to re-examine, if it weren't for this weird big belly, Yang Jing wouldn't have thought about this aspect at all!

When Yang Jing was still muttering in his heart, Lu Baiyu had already taken his hand back, with inexplicable anger in his eyes, and said to Yang Jing: "I didn't expect them to be so vicious! I'm afraid this is the cause of Zhao Gaoyi's death!"

"Who are they? What is in this belly?" Yang Jing rarely saw Lu Baiyu so angry, it seemed that Lu Baiyu knew this very well, and immediately asked urgently.

"This Zhao Gaoyi is a yuan baby in his belly, and this thing killed him!"

"Yuan Ying?" Yang Jing heard this term, and his face was also speechless, because in Yang Jing's cognition, Yuan Ying was what he read in later novels, and it was a professional term for some cultivators who cultivated the truth, which means that the cultivator condenses his spiritual power and other nothingness into a Yuan Infant in his body, and this Yuan Infant can have all kinds of powerful magical powers!

However, he knew that these were all non-existent things, and since Lu Baiyu recognized it, the answer was about to come out.
