"I wonder if the steward will be able to find the stone man?" Du Ruo asked the old steward, "I want to examine the corpse of Shi Yuanwai's daughter, and I still need to ask the Shi family's permission for this matter."

It's just that I'm not the same as an ordinary autopsy, and I may need to use a knife, but I can guarantee that after the examination, I will definitely be able to bury this young lady of the Shi family with dignity.

Please also go to the Shi family to report and ask them what they mean. ”

The old steward knew that Ye Yuanzhou was Lord Duwei, and because he was in charge of the mortuary, he knew that almost all the prison breaks in Songzhou were handled by Ye Yuanzhou, so he only thought that he had a letter to come and take a look.

Now when he heard that he really wanted to investigate this strange case, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly responded, asked the two to wait in the courtyard for a while, and hurriedly went out by himself.

He was old, and his legs and feet were not very neat, so he asked a young junior student nearby to help him go to Shiyuan's house to report a letter.

After a while, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy came to the mortuary out of breath.

"It's here, it's a descendant of the Shi family!" The old steward didn't look old, his eyes were good, even if it was already dark, relying on the light of the lanterns at the gate, he could recognize at a glance who it was.

The little guy ran in and saw the three people in the courtyard, he only knew the old steward, but the remaining two, one was tall and mighty, and the other was as white as jade, after a short hesitation, he knelt in front of Ye Yuanzhou with a puff.

"Lord Qingtian!"

The little guy is still young, he doesn't know Ye Yuanzhou, and he doesn't know what kind of official he is, but he only knows that every time he avenges the Qing officials in the play, he calls people like this when he opens his mouth, so he learns from it.

"Lord Qingtian! My young lady died unjustly! Please also ask the eldest lord to check it no matter how you look at it, as long as you can return our young lady's innocence, prove that she is not provoking evil, and bring the villains who harmed my young lady to justice, whatever! He kowtowed as he spoke.

Ye Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reached out to grab the little guy and pulled him up from the ground: "You don't have to worship me, the person who will help your young lady examine the body for a while is not me, but her." ”

The little guy kowtowed a few times, his head hurt, and he was pulled up by Ye Yuanzhou coldly, hearing him say this, he suddenly couldn't come back to his senses, and looked at Du Ruo in a daze, as if he couldn't believe it.

Du Ruo was not surprised by this, and waved his hand at him: "You go back and ask your master to prepare some food to eat."

It's come to this hour, and after Ye Duwei and I have examined the body, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the house to disturb it. ”

The little guy looked at Du Ruofa and felt that the person in front of him was good-looking, and he looked even better when he smiled, but no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a person who was bold enough to dare to examine the corpse.

But since everyone said so, he naturally had to hurry up and hurriedly run back to report the news.

The old steward of the mortuary took the two men into the house and helped them light a few lamps around so that they could see more clearly.

"Let's go out too, there shouldn't be anything here that needs your help." Du Ruo said to the old steward.

Although the people who can do things in this mortuary are brave people, not everyone can accept her approach.

The steward's interest hurriedly retreated.

Du Ruo came to the big coffin.

The large coffin is very wide and high, larger than the usual funeral coffin, and the wood is very solid.

Du Ruo tried, with her strength she couldn't lift the lid of the coffin at all, but fortunately, Ye Yuanzhou had great strength, and one person held both sides of the lid with both hands, and with the strength of luck, he removed the heavy wooden plank, revealing the inside.

When the two looked inside, they didn't see a snow-white corpse all at once, but a bundle of oily mats and a cold air on their faces, mixed with a strange fragrance.

Du Ruo raised his eyebrows, knowing in his heart.

This Shi family is really trying to keep the corpse in its original state and not decay, not only using a lot of insect-proof spices in this coffin, but also deliberately putting a large amount of ice in the mezzanine of the coffin.

With the help of the cold nature of the mortuary, as long as the interlayer of the coffin is regularly filled with ice, the coffin can always be kept cold, and the thick wood, coupled with the straw mat that has been soaked in oil and become waterproof, can delay the decay of the corpse inside as much as possible.

Du Ruo opened the straw mat and saw the female corpse inside.

The female corpse was exactly the same as the rumored one, the whole person was miserable and white, whether it was hair or eyebrows, even the eyelashes on the eyes were all snow-white without exception.

The female corpse was wearing a silk shirt with a good texture, clean and neat, and there was no stain on the white skin on her body, it was obvious that this was cleaned and wiped, and it was estimated that the clothes were also put on again by the Shi family after they were found.

"Brother Ye, I'm going to have an autopsy." Du Ruo put aside the box containing the tools, opened it, and took out the willow leaf-like knife that Ye Yuanzhou had lent to him from inside.

Ye Yuanzhou nodded, seeing that she was a little hesitant in her movements, he asked with a smile: "What?" Are you afraid that I will be afraid of watching from the sidelines? ”

"Not really." Du Ruo shook his head, "This corpse naturally won't make you afraid, but how I'm going to examine it next, I'm afraid it will make you afraid of me in the future!" ”

"Then try it and see if you can scare me." Ye Yuanzhou looked at Du Ruo with interest.

Since he said so, Du Ruo is not the kind of person who drags mud and water, so he turned his heart sideways, nodded, carefully took off the middle coat on the female corpse, and pressed and touched the skin of the corpse with his hand by the way.

Even if it is so white that it is bizarre, it does not affect the recognition of what kind of beautiful appearance this woman was when she was alive, and it can be seen that she was not very old before her death.

It's just that her skin feels very strange to the touch.

Although it is impossible for people to have the same delicate skin as they did when they died, the difference between young people and old people can still be clearly distinguished.

Du Ruo felt the strange touch of his fingertips as if he was touching a piece of paper, and felt that this young woman did not have a trace of wrinkled skin, but it was no different from the kind of old woman who was dying in her twilight years.

The woman was supposed to be a well-proportioned figure, but now she was as thin as skin, and the bones of her elbows and knees were wrapped in a thin layer of skin, which stood up from under the skin

The strange thing is that such a skinny, skinny, emaciated female corpse, has a slightly bulging belly, as if she was already pregnant with Rokko before she died.
