Chapter 7: The Boy in White
The officials prepared the tools and rushed to the Sun family cemetery to prepare for the opening of the coffin for autopsy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info came to the grave, Xiyuan burned paper and sprinkled wine, and then asked everyone to start digging the grave.
About half an hour later, the officials had dug up the grave, and the coffin was exposed.
Xi Yuan and Ling Yu put on white clothes, put on thick gloves, took a thin slice of ginger in their mouths, dipped their hands in old vinegar, swiped them in front of their noses, and then stepped over the brazier and came to the side of the coffin.
Xi Yuan first sprinkled aged vinegar around the coffin, and then sprinkled fine white wine, so she ordered everyone to open the coffin.
At the sound of an order, the yacha lifted the lid of the coffin, and in an instant a foul smell wafted out, the smell was extremely stinky, and everyone hurriedly took a few steps back.
Xi Yuan walked over to the coffin and began to examine the body, and Ling Yu also came over to help.
The coffin was already black, and the body was basically decomposed, leaving only a pile of bones, all of which were black.
Xiyuan began to examine the bones one by one, from head to toe, one by one, wiping them with alcohol in order to get a better view of the bones.
After about half an hour of busy work, the two of them finished examining the bones. Xi Yuan made a record, and then ordered the Yacha to seal the coffin and bury it.
Long Xuanling walked over and asked, "Miss Xiyuan really deserves to be the coroner, this kind of courage is really admirable, the official's self-sigh is not as good, this kind of thing, I am afraid to think about it, let alone touch it with my hands." Now that the bones have been examined, what have you found?"
Xi Yuan said: "There are no cracks on the bones, obviously not seriously injured. Judging from the bones, he died of poisoning, which should be the same poison as the three corpses found today. It can be seen from this that the case of a year ago is the same as that of today, and if you want to find out about today's case, you must find out the murder case of a year ago. ”
Long Xuanling nodded slightly and said, "But now there is no clue, it is not easy to find out about this case." ”
Ling Yu brushed the green silk and said, "I think so, Lord Long led all the yacha to ask the symptoms of those who died at the same time a year ago to see if they were all the same, and then to see who they had come into contact with, where they had been, and what they had eaten. We are not familiar with this place, and the situation of the three deceased people today will have to be investigated by Xiyuan. ”
Several people nodded in agreement, and Long Xuanling began to assign tasks.
Ling Yu came to Mrs. Sun and said, "Mrs. Sun, please mourn, now that the matter is clear, your two daughters were poisoned to cause their deaths, and they have nothing to do with the doctor of Mengcao Hall." I will try my best to find out the facts of the case, find out the real culprit, and give justice to the deceased, so you can go back and rest first. ”
The people of the Sun family hugged Mrs. Sun and slowly went back. Ling Yu and the others packed up their things and prepared to go back.
Lan Ningxiang and Ling Yu walked together, with a slight smile on their faces, and said, "Thank you Gongzi for helping us out of the siege today, if it weren't for Gongzi, we wouldn't know what punishment we would have to suffer." Today's matter, I can't argue, even if I don't kill anyone, I can't find evidence to prove myself, Gongzi's great kindness, I will definitely repay it. ”
Ling Yu stroked the green silk and said with a smile: "You don't have to say that, and you don't have to repay it, what I do is what I should do." I myself have been a doctor and have suffered from your sins, so I know how you feel. If you really want to repay, promise me to put aside my previous grievances and treat the people well, which is the greatest reward for me. ”
Mei Mengying sneered twice and said, "Do you think that now that they are like this, they will still believe in our doctor? Will they respect our doctor? If we let go of our grievances, will they let go?"
Ling Yu said: "I believe they will, as long as the case here is resolved, the grievances of the doctor can be completely cleared, and the reputation and dignity of the doctor can be restored at that time." ”
Shao Bingyi smiled and said, "Okay, if Gongzi can clear up the grievances of all the doctors and return everyone to a clean slate, I will definitely change the rules of Mengcaotang, treat the people wholeheartedly, and be a doctor with a conscience." ”
Ling Yu said: "Okay, let's make a decision." ”
Several people went back separately and were busy for two days before they finished all the things to be investigated.
On this day, after Xi Yuan came back from the yamen, she came to Ling Yu's room to discuss some things with Ling Yu.
Seeing that Ling Yu was the only one in the room, Xi Yuan asked, "Why are you the only one?"
Ling Yu poured her a cup of tea and said, "Wuwu's injury is quite serious, and he is resting in bed, and the little brother is accompanying him in the house." Long Chenyi had nothing to do, so he went out to play. How's it going, have you looked into everything?"
Xi Yuan nodded and said, "In the past two days, the yamen in the yamen visited and investigated the families of those who died a year ago, and found that all the deceased had one symptom, that is, pain in the heart. These people had all been to Shourentang a few days before the onset of the disease, so this case should have a certain relationship with Shourentang. After my visit in the past two days, the three deceased people in the first two days had all been to Shourentang before their deaths, and they all bought the same set of herbs. ”
Ling Yu brushed the green silk, thought for a moment, and said, "These clues alone are useless, and we can't conclude that this matter must be related to Shourentang. What suspicious people did the three deceased come into contact with, or did they behave in any unusual ways?"
When Xi Yuan heard him say this, she smiled unconsciously and said, "In the month before they became ill, they went out quite frequently, and they all seemed to be extremely happy. This situation also appeared among those who died a year ago, and according to some subordinates, these people seemed to go out to see a son, who was dressed in a white robe and had a good demeanor. According to the descendants of the Sun family, the two young ladies of the Sun family have gone to a son, and judging from the description, the two should have gone to see the same person. It's a pity that no one has seen the face of this son, and they don't know the identity of this person. ”
Ling Yu was a little puzzled, and said: "It seems that it is not easy to solve this case, judging from the current situation, there are not a few people who have been poisoned, if we want to treat these poisoned people, we must find this man in white." If you want to find this white-clothed man, you must first find out how these people fell into the Gu, and if you find the source of the Gu, you can find him. Let's go to Shourentang and find out what's hidden here. ”
