The Delicate Lady Coroner

Jiang Xing had no father and no mother. He learned art from his teacher and father in the early years. Later, he became a drama actor who lived in Huafang. Now he is dead, but he was buried in a mass grave outside the city with a thin coffin. He didn't even have a serious tombstone.

Wu Xiang took some people to find Jiang Xing’s grave, and ordered someone to dig it up. The coffin that had been buried for more than a month was wrapped in wet soil, and the inferior paint on it was mottled. He waited for the coffin to be lifted out of the pit. The smell filled the gap in the coffin lid uncontrollably.

"Open the lid and let off the smell--"

Wu Xiang gave the order and quickly pried the lid of the coffin open. In an instant, a pungent rancid smell came on their faces. Several people glanced into the coffin, turned and ran away and retched.

Wu Xiang bit his posterior molar and pressed down the discomfort in his stomach.

"Okay, take it back to Yizhuang, it's going to be hard work now."

Wu Xiang found an ox cart and pulled Jiang Xing's coffin back to the city. When he entered Yizhuang, Bo Ruoyou was examining Ye Fei's body and was writing the test report.

Seeing Wu Xiang coming back with a coffin dug out of the soil, Bo Ruoyou sighed.

"This is the coffin of Jiang Xing who died a month ago?"

Wu Xiang wiped the sweat from his face, "I didn't ask about Jiang Xing's case, but I didn't expect that the steward in the bird garden said that before Jiang Xing died, a blood bird in the bird garden died accidentally. And by coincidence, he drowned in a water tank."

Everyone now knows that before the murderer kills, he will use the dead blood sparrow as a sign. The blood sparrow was drowned. Soon Jiang Xing drowned in Moon Lake. This coincidence is enough to prove Jiang Xing's death. There are also great mysteries.

Wu Xiang looked at the coffin, "The body can no longer be seen, and I don't know if anything can be detected, it's mediocre, it's hard for you."

At this time, the sun was sinking, and the sky was not early. Bo Ruoyou didn't care about it. He only talked about Ye Fei's autopsy results. The time of death remained the same, only after an autopsy, undigested food residues and a little medicine were found in his stomach."

Wu Xiang raised his eyebrows, "Medicine? I never heard Xiao Si mentioned this before."

Bo Ruoyou said: "According to the post-mortem, Ye Fei's pharynx and trachea are slightly narrowed and occluded, and there is more mucus in the lungs and trachea than normal people. In addition, there is also endometrial edema. , I guess Ye Fei may have suffered from cough and asthma for a long time, and is still a chronic disease that is difficult to cure, so he is often pilled."

"In his stomach, I found honey. Most of these pills are kneaded with honey into pills, so it's not uncommon. There are also gastrodia elata and tangerine peel, which are also good medicines for this chronic disease. But in addition, There is also a blind flavor of Datura powder. Datura powder is mixed with honey tangerine peel and other medicines. It is not easy to be noticed. It is very possible that Ye Fei took this medicine unconsciously."

She glanced outwards, “Now it’s late autumn and the weather is turning cold. It’s when coughing and asthma attacks. At night, people with this disease are more likely to cough and breathe more easily. Ye Fei takes medicine before going to bed. It can be expected."

Wu Xiang immediately said, "I'll let people go to the garden to search again--"

Ye Fei hardly struggled when he was abducted. Since the food used is safe, there are other explanations. He did not use the medicine in front of the young man. No one knows that he has used this medicine. It is difficult to explain this joint.

"The murderer not only knows Ye Fei's medicine, but also knows what kind of disease Ye Fei is suffering from, and he can sneak into Ye Fei's room to secretly replace his medicine. Every time the murderer has a target, he will kill at the time of Xun. , I have stolen Yuyi out, and I want to hang it, and I went to Yu Xun's room that night, then before killing Yu Xun, I will not change the dressing—"

Wu Xiang said immediately: "This medicine has different properties. If you change it in advance, you will be discovered."

Bo Ruoyou responded, and said: "After Yu Xun died, he caught his head and went to search in the garden, and brought Liu Qing back to the Yamen. When Ye Fei died, they were just returned to the Bainiaoyuan. That day."

Wu Xiang recalled: "A few of them were put back around noon. At dusk, they said that they found the nails of the coffin, so I took someone to get Song Zhongming. It was only two or three hours before the murderer was going to change Song. Zhongming’s burden needs to be changed in advance, can it be too late?"

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "I'm afraid it's too late."

"So, doesn't it mean that the murderer was not the few people who brought back to the Yamen that day?"

Bo Ruo pondered for a moment, "Song Zhongming’s baggage was buried in the warehouse where the fodder was stored. The place was quite messy. Except for the servants and the craftsmen who tamed birds and beasts, nobody would go there, especially Liu Qing and the others. A few will never set foot there, and they will not know that Song Gongming has hidden the money privately."

Wu Xiang carefully stroked, "This is indeed the truth. Several of them have a higher status in the garden than ordinary people."

Bo Ruoyou finished writing the test report, put on his handguards, and covered his face with a silk kerchief. Then he walked to the coffin. The coffin opened. The corpse inside had been eroded by maggots, and his robe was soaked in corpse water. , It is difficult to distinguish the original color.

Although it’s autumn, it doesn’t have to be hot in summer, but Jiang Xing was fished out of the lake. He was soaked in the lake water for a night. Later, he was buried in haste, and his body was wet. This accelerated the decay. Now I want to It is extremely difficult to find the scar on the corpse table.

Jiang Xing played the role of blood sparrow in Zhao Yue's favorite drama. He also learned art from his master since he was a child. Even if his flesh and blood are rotten, he can still see that his body is tall and straight. Such a person will not easily fall into the lake due to rain .

And Bo Ruoyou remembers that Moon Lake is not too big. The north and south faces the corridor and are protected by railings. The east and west sides are adjacent to the rockery in the west. There are stone steps extending into the lake. The east side is also a gentle slope. At the edge of the lake, the water just submerged in his knees. Jiang Xing was more than five feet tall and a smart adult man who would never drown after falling into the lake.

After looking at the corpse for a while, Bo Ruoyou ordered the ya chap to move the corpse out.

More than a month after Jiang Xing died, the corpse was decayed and it was difficult to distinguish the appearance. After the maggots on the corpse were cleaned up with clean water, Bo Ruoyou still felt that there was nowhere to start. The traces of the corpse had been destroyed. She checked the bones of the corpse first. After discovering that there was no obvious bone injury, he decided to post-mortem the body.

Most of the corpse's internal organs have been eaten by maggots, and the white bones in the chest and abdomen are faintly visible. Because he was drowned, Bo Ruoyou was examined all the way from his lungs. Although the organs were excessively decayed, he could still see that the lungs were enlarged and there was considerable water accumulation. There are so many corrupt blisters and blood foam on it, which is especially shocking. From this, it can be concluded that the deceased was indeed drowned. However, other than that, only more scalp-numbing corpses can be seen, and I want to check it out. Other clues are hard to get.

There was no trace of food in the stomach, that is, some water plants were inhaled into the trachea and lungs, and decayed along with the corpse. The only thing that made Bo Ruoyou feel strange was that there was no sediment in the trachea and lungs.

Yuehu Lake is an inner lake dug out by a craftsman. It is filled with fine sand. Because of the sedimentation of silt for many years, the bottom of the lake is mixed with sand. The body decayed without a trace.

But after an autopsy, she did not find any sediment particles.

Bo Ruoyou endured the pungent rancid smell, and some of his unwilling experiments became more detailed. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the night was about to fall. Just when she thought she was going to be busy with this, she was suddenly in Something special was found in the corrupted trachea.

The thing was wrapped in corpse water and dirt, and had a somewhat difficult shape, but it shouldn't be something that would appear in the human body. Bo Ruoyou washed it with clear water. At this time, the thing finally showed its shape.

It was actually a piece of bird feather.

She hurriedly changed the water several times, and when the bird feather was washed, she saw a grayish white color. If she hadn't been soaked in the corpse water for such a long time, she was afraid that it was mostly snow-white, so she hurriedly took this thing to Wu Xiang Look.

"Look to the craftsmen in the garden and ask them, they definitely recognize what kind of feathers are on the bird."

Wu Xiang took the small piece of feather and hesitated, "But if the feather falls into the lake, it may be sucked into the mouth."

Bo Ruoyou shook his head, "But there is no sand in the corpse's organs. This is too weird. The place where he was drowned is not like in a lake, but somewhere where there is no sand, but that place is easy. Falling Toba, didn't the head catching go to the bird park? Maybe it's near the bird park."

Wu Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, "I understand, I'm going to the Hundred Bird Park now."

After Wu Xiang finished speaking, he left Yizhuang. At this time, the night was over. Bo Ruoyou simply handled the corpse. When the coffin lid was closed again, she cleaned up the cage. She hadn't finished cleaning, and there were footsteps outside. Tang.

When Bo Ruoyou heard the sound and turned back, she saw that it was Huo Weilou who had come to Yizhuang. She was slightly surprised, "Why did Lord Hou come?"

Huo Weilou looked at the coffins and Ye Fei's body parked in the hall. Knowing that she was particularly busy today, he stepped forward and lifted the cage around her, and took her hand out and walked out, "You haven't passed the whole day." Mansion, I went to Changshou Fang first, only to find out that you had left early in the morning, and then I went to Yamen and said that you were in Yizhuang."

Bo Ruoyou's heart warmed, "Another deceased has been added to the Hundred Bird Park, and today I learned that Jiang Xing, who died that month ago, was the first victim of this case, so I have been busy here for a long time."

The two left the Yizhuang and got into the carriage of Huo Wei Building. Bo Ruoyou felt that his stomach was empty and tired. He hesitated for a moment. He leaned in the arms of Huo Wei Building. Back to Hou Mansion.
