Then he looked at Tang Qingqing: "Sir, does the government office have nothing else to do? Let a little girl examine my son's body. If the judgment is wrong and the real murderer is released, who will bear the responsibility?"

Both inside and outside the words were distrust of Nan Xi.

Tang Jingjing glanced at Father Shen: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The Shen family was relatively wealthy in their hometown, and they would give them some thin noodles whenever they met, but it was nothing in the capital. Shen's father also felt the gap during this period, and he really did not dare to support Tang Jingkong anymore.

Shen Wenjin's body was pulled away, while Nan Xi and Tang Jingkong were still questioning the confessions of those around them.

"Did you hear anything special last night?"

"No, sir, we were all drunk yesterday and slept very deeply."

"Where were you last night? What were you doing?"

"Sir, we just finished the exam yesterday. We thought we performed well, so we went out to celebrate and didn't come back until dawn. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

I asked several people one after another and the answers were all similar.

Almost everyone in Zhuangyuan Hutong had alibi last night.

"When was the last time you saw Shen Wenjin?" Nan Xi asked Jiang Zhicheng.

Jiang Zhicheng still looked dull and honest, "Yesterday when Xu was approaching, he and Nan Mingkun invited me out for a drink. I didn't go, and we haven't seen each other since."

Shaoyao returned with the guard.

The guard's name was Zhou Mu, and he was a little excited when he saw Nan Xi, with gratitude and admiration in his eyes.

"How is your injury?" Nan Xi asked.

Zhou Mu raised his hand. The tiny holes from the centipede bite were still there, but the redness and swelling had subsided quite a bit.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, thanks to Miss Nan."

Nan Xi checked his wound again, and then asked: "Where were you bitten by a centipede yesterday?"

Zhou Mu took Nan Xi to Courtyard No. 72.

"It's right here. At that time, my subordinates were still wondering, how could there be such a big centipede in a place like this?"

Nan Xi looked around and moved his nose, as if he smelled something.

She turned to the door and asked loudly: "Who lives in this courtyard?"

"Jiang Zhicheng, he is the only one living here."

"Reading all day long, often all night long, makes it hard for people to sleep well, and no one wants to live with him."

Everyone looked at Jiang Zhicheng with disdain. Such unsociable people were usually treated in such isolation.

And Jiang Zhicheng seemed to have gotten used to it, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Nan Xi asked: "Do you live here?"

"Correct."

"Which room?" Nan Xi asked again.

Jiang Zhicheng walked into the courtyard and pointed to the room on the left.

Nan Xi walked over and opened the door, but found nothing wrong except that it was too clean.

But it is not difficult to rule out the possibility that Jiang Zhicheng has mysophobia and loves to clean.

She walked out, her nose twitching, and she could still smell the smell of sulfur.

very light.

If she hadn't been practicing medicine for many years and had a keen sense of smell, she would be almost undetectable.

"Han He Peony, open the other two rooms." Nan Xi said suddenly.

"Yes."

Jiang Zhicheng's eyes moved slightly, and panic flashed across his face.

Nan Xi had been paying attention to him. When he saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly, took a step back, and whispered something to Zhou Mu next to him.

"Girl, there are snakes and centipedes in this room. They are in a wooden basket. They should be raised by someone." "Girl, I found sulfur here."

Jiang Zhicheng's steps moved slightly, but before he could react, Zhou Mu stepped over and stopped him with a light grasping hand.

"I, I didn't do anything, why did you catch me?" Jiang Zhicheng tried to struggle, but his little strength was nothing in front of Zhou Mu, who knew kung fu.

Hanlian and Peony put the sulfur and the wooden basket on the ground.

Nan Xi glanced at it and asked Jiang Zhicheng: "How do you explain these things? Don't say they are not yours. Everyone is either preparing for or taking exams these days. Only you have enough time. These centipedes bit people yesterday. Could it be? Did they run back into the basket on their own?"

Zhou Mu exerted force on his hand, and Jiang Zhicheng instantly grimaced in pain.

The original timid look seemed to be gone in an instant, and there was a hint of gloom in his eyes.

Tang Jingjing also saw it and ordered in a deep voice: "Take it back to the government office."

"Yes!"

The yamen officer stepped forward and took Jiang Zhicheng from Zhou Mu's hand.

The others looked at Jiang Zhicheng with even more contempt and contempt, and pointed at him in angry tones.

"What's wrong with raising snakes? It turns out he was the one who killed Shen Wenjin."

"Oh, luckily I live far away from him, otherwise I would have been bitten by a snake and I would have died."

"Shen Wenjin and Nan Mingkun drank with him, which prevented him from entering the examination room in time. Could he have deliberately let the snake bite Shen Wenjin?"

"Haha, it was discovered early, otherwise Nan Mingkun's life would not have been saved."

In the government office, Tang Jingkong was interrogating Jiang Zhicheng, while Nan Xi was conducting further examination on Shen Wenjin's body.

The conclusion was drawn that he had indeed died from snake poison.

And she made a new discovery.

"Hanlian, Shaoyao, help me turn Shen Wenjin's body over. I want to see his back."

"Yes, girl."

Hanlian and Shaoyao turned Shen Wenjin over and lifted up his clothes.

Shen Wenjin's family was well off and he had fine skin and tender meat, but there were light red marks on his back that couldn't be found unless you looked carefully.

"Girl, what did you find?" Shaoyao asked curiously.

Nan Xi thought about it carefully and went to the next room.

Guan Wanqing's body is placed here.

The Guan family came to inquire several times and wanted to take her body back for burial, but Tang Jingzong blocked her from going back because the second autopsy had not yet been completed.

"Girl, aren't we examining Shen Wenjin's body? Why are we here?" Shaoyao asked in confusion.

Nan Xi still couldn't explain it. She asked Hanlian to help her take off all the clothes on Guan Wanqing's body and found red marks similar to those on Shen Wenjin's body.

Shaoyao exclaimed: "It's strange, why does Guan Wanqing have such marks on her body?"

Hanlian said: "It seems that Guan Wanqing has more of them. What a coincidence."

Yes, what a coincidence.

Excessive coincidence is a source of suspicion.

"But these were clearly not found during the last autopsy." Shaoyao was puzzled.

Nan Xi looked solemn: "Because some scars will not appear until some time after death, and Guan Wanqing was abused before her death and has too many scars on her body, so it is easy to ignore these."

She examined Guan Wanqing's body again, and after confirming that nothing was missing, she asked Hanlian and Shaoyao to help Guan Wanqing put her clothes back on and tidy up her appearance.

"Girl, what are those traces?" Shaoyao asked.

Nan Xi thought for a while, "Hanlian, where are those centipedes and snakes?"

Hanlian: "Next door."
