As soon as these words came out, Cheng Engong and his wife immediately showed surprise on their faces.

Mrs. Zhou didn't expect that in less than a cup of tea, Shen Lingxi would come to such a conclusion.

This means that her daughter was killed, not killed.

Even Cheng'en Gong Mu Tiangang also looked at Shen Lingxi differently.

What his wife said just now was not polite, but I didn't expect this little girl to be generous.

Shen Lingxi didn't care about the eyes of others, carefully observed the two scars, and even looked up at the beam.

In the matter of an autopsy, if you want to examine the deceased as "hanged", you must be very cautious.

After all, once it is confirmed that the deceased hanged himself, it means that there is no murderer, and the government does not need to investigate the case again.

However, if it is found that there is a possibility of "homicide", even if there is only a trace of it, it is safest to immediately ask the presiding judge to order the arrest of the murderer.

"Two strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased." Shen Lingxi pointed to the purple-red strangulation marks, "This wound is a fatal injury, proving that the deceased was indeed hanged." It's just that compared with the ordinary hanged corpse, this strangulation mark is slightly shallower, which shows that the height of the rope when the deceased died was not high, and such a scar does not match the height of the beam. ”

He also pointed to the white strangulation marks, "After a person dies, his breathing stops, and the blood does not circulate, although he is bound by a rope, the scars will not be purple and red, but white, and this strangulation mark is caused by the removal of the corpse." ”

Shen Lingxi said, walking under the hanging beam, "The corpse should not have been removed from the beam before it arrived, so that the corpse could be seen in the state and position of the body hanging on the beam......

She looked at Dong Lixin and asked suspiciously, "When the internal guard found the body, was the body already underneath?" Have you ever checked who put the body down? ”

Dong Lixin glanced at Mrs. Zhou, and stopped talking.

Cheng Engong Mu Tiangang on the side explained apologetically, "It was Neiko who couldn't bear to hang her daughter's body on the beam, so she asked someone to take it down." ”

Mrs. Zhou only felt shameless and covered her face with a handkerchief, but she was unwilling to admit her rash stupidity.

"Xue'e is the county lord of Bingqing who is given by Qin, and she loves beauty the most during her lifetime, if she knows under the spring, how can she be willing to hang her body under the beam all the time......"

Shen Lingxi's apricot eyes were slightly raised, and he pretended to be surprised and asked, "Could it be that in the eyes of Madame, the dignity of her daughter after her death is more important than the cause of her death?" Destroying the scene of the crime is a taboo, and if the lady doesn't understand, she should ask others if they are. ”

Mrs. Zhou choked, "The official government's serious deeds only need to be examined by the autopsy to find out the clues, why do you need to check from these side doors......"

Mother said carefully. Mu Huai'an interrupted her words in a cold voice: "The crime scene related to the corpse belongs to the category of inquest. Besides, even the work of Dali Temple will humbly ask Miss Shen for advice, does her mother know more than the work of Dali Temple? ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, Mrs. Zhou's face stiffened slightly, and she reluctantly closed her mouth.

Shen Lingxi glanced at her lightly, turned to Chu Yan and saluted, "Now that the body has been taken down, please also ask Your Highness to send an embroidered garment to Shangliang to inspect it, if the deceased hangs himself, he will definitely struggle before he dies." If there are no traces of dust and friction on the beams, it can be confirmed that the deceased was hung here after his death, and this is not the first scene. ”

Chu Yan bowed his head at Chunjun and motioned for him to go up to the beam to check.

Chunjun has his own light skills, and when he jumped up, he jumped onto the beam.

Sure enough, "there was only a trace of a silk rope on the beam, and there were no scratches of struggle." Chunjun said.

"My poor daughter......" Mrs. Zhou twisted her veil and cried again, "I knew that she would not be killed, and she was indeed killed...... I don't know who killed her with a thousand knives, if I had known, I would have given up this life to seek justice for my poor daughter......"

At this time, everyone was quietly waiting for Shen Lingxi to examine the body, but she was the only one crying.

In the silent hall, only her cries echoed.

Chengen Gong Mu Tiangang frowned deeply, and he was overwhelmed, "Okay, if you want to cry, go back and cry, don't disturb the Taoist chief here, and delay the embroidered clothes to arrest the murderer of his daughter." ”

In his tone, he already had a little more respect for Shen Lingxi than before.

Mrs. Zhou's crying stopped, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand, her face full of grievances.

Shen Lingxi didn't bother to look at her, and all his attention was on the pitch-black square table under the beam.

On the table of the square table, there are several extremely shallow footprints.

It looks like Mu Xue'e stepped on things before she "hanged herself".

Her fingertips wiped the corners of the top table with only a shallow layer of dust.

Then reach out and wipe the back of the chair next to you—

Obviously, the dust on the back of the chair is much thicker than on the table.

Shen Lingxi took off the shoes on Mu Xue'e's corpse and lightly covered one of the footprints.

"The footprints on this are indeed Mu Xue'e's."

Shen Lingxi pondered: "It's just that it was windy last night, and there are no doors and windows in front of and behind this hall, and the dust on the desktop should be as thick as the dust on the back of the chair." ”

"Even if the desktop is trampled on by the deceased, it will be cleaner than other places, but the dust in the corners should not be reduced."

"However, at this moment, the dust in the corner of the table is thinner than the dust on the back of the chair, which shows that after hanging the body on the beam, the murderer deliberately wiped the table to wipe off his footprints, and then took the deceased's shoes and covered the footprints......"

After saying this, Shen Lingxi walked back to the corpse, put the shoes back for Mu Xue'e, and observed the skirt of the corpse again.

Fang Cai raised his head and said to Chu Yan: "It rained heavily last night, there was no trace of rain on the deceased's dress, and there was no mud on the soles of his shoes. ”

"The fact that the murderer was able to move the body here without drenching it in too much rain means that the place of the crime should not be far from the Jizo Palace. Please focus on the search of the nearby area, and I think you will soon be able to find the first crime scene. ”

Chu Yan glanced at Chunjun.

Chun Jun waved his hand to receive the order, and took the embroidered messenger to search.

Cheng Engong Mu Tiangang watched from the sidelines, and looked at Shen Lingxi's gaze, which had changed from doubt to complete approval.

"Thank you for performing the autopsy on the little girl." He waved his hand at Shen Lingxi.

Mu Tiangang is also a pivotal figure in the court, if he is an ordinary person, he will be flattered by being treated like this.

However, Shen Lingxi just bowed, and his expression was indifferent.

With such an attitude, Mu Tiangang not only didn't think that this little girl was ignorant, but looked up to her a little higher.

Shen Lingxi didn't care about Cheng Engong's attitude towards her, her eyes only fell on Mu Huai'an, who was opposite her on the opposite side of the corpse.

Judging from the traces left at the scene, the murderer was not a clever killer.

Whether it is the strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse or the footprints on this table, it is obvious that there are doubts.

Such a shallow trace, let alone her, is Mu Huai'an, who has always had experience in handling cases, to check it himself, and at a cursory glance, he can also find clues.

But why didn't he say it, but asked her to open this mouth?

Seeing her gaze, Mu Huai'an stretched out his hand and pointed at the corpse's shoulder.

Shen Lingxi lowered his head and looked at the place of his fingers-

The cloak of the big red gorilla felt wrapped the upper body of the corpse very tightly.

Shen Lingxi only focused on the fatal strangulation marks on his neck, as well as the exposed skin and joints.

After Mu Huai'an reminded her, she reached out and lifted the cloak tightly wrapped around Mu Xue'e's corpse.

Under the cloak, the shoulders of the white robe faintly revealed some dark marks.

She reached out and lifted the hem of her robe-——

Immediately, I saw a small, dry hole of blood......
