Chapter 109 Autopsy of the Suspended Corpse
When Yun Xi heard that she needed help with the autopsy, she turned around and called Qing Guo and followed Yu Zhi away.
Ran Piao said "Hey" several times from behind, but failed to stop Xiao Yunxi's "decided" back.
"It's broken, it's broken. Lord Lu's jealousy is about to be overturned." Ran Piao said worriedly, "How can Yu Yuzhi be our Lord's opponent?"
Look at that kid who looks like a humble gentleman, but he can't even make a move in the hands of an adult.
"Stop worrying unreasonably." Ren Danqing gently tapped Ran Piao's shoulder with his folding fan, "We adults will definitely put the overall situation first."
Jealousy is a small matter, but solving a case is a big deal. How can you delay business for the sake of your children's personal affairs?
Ran Piao's eyes widened and he asked with disbelief: "How many years have you been a colleague of Master?"
"More than five years!" Master Ren said with a slightly contented expression.
"It's been five years and you haven't seen Mr. Lu acting jealous?"
Huh? There’s a story!
Ren Danqing immediately became energetic. He took Ran Piao's arm affectionately and led him behind the screen. He smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. "Come on, let's talk about it. How do you get jealous?"
…
On the way to Dali Temple, Yun Xi learned that Yu Zhi had come three or four times in the past two days, but was rejected by Lord Ran for various reasons.
Thinking of Lord Ran's protective appearance, Yun Xi couldn't help but laugh.
"We traveled to Beijing day and night, and worked day and night to solve the case... Mr. Ran feels sorry for me." Yun Xi explained patiently: "I didn't mean to make things difficult for you."
"Yun Wuzuo is a capable person who can do autopsy and judge cases. He can even be called Sangu Thatched Cottage." Yu Zhi said apologetically: "It is really a last resort to transfer people from the Ministry of Punishments."
"Please enlighten me, sir."
Yu Zhi, the grandson of the Minister of Dali Temple, is now the chief of Dali Temple and is in charge of the review of cases in various places.
A few days ago, Yu Zhi received a review case from Shuntian Prefecture: the woman disappeared in the middle of the night and did not return home. Early the next morning, her body was found under the wall of an alley with only one fatal wound on her body.
There were no witnesses around, making it extremely difficult to find the culprit.
Shuntian Prefecture investigated for seven days and visited the surrounding people, but found nothing. Finally, they had to classify the case as murder for money and submitted it to Dali Temple as an "unsolved case."
"To tell you the truth, girl, Dali Temple submits as many as eighty unsolved cases every year. In our opinion, there is nothing special about this case. But..."
Yun Xi immediately raised his ears, knowing that Master Yu Zhi had reached a key point.
"But after the husband of the deceased heard that the case was submitted to Dali Temple, he came to the door every day to beg for help, saying that his wife must not have been 'murdered for money' and that there must be something hidden in it."
Yu Zhi has been working as a servant in Dali Temple for some years. Although he lost his beloved, the fire of justice in his heart has not been extinguished, otherwise he would not testify in the case of the girl Tan.
Yun Xi knew his character well and asked, "Master Yu re-investigated the case and found something fishy?"
Yu Zhi didn't know where to start. He sighed and said, "Please invite the girl to take a look."
The layout of Dali Temple is completely different from that of the Xingbu Yamen. Master Yunxi looked at the elegant landscape layout in the temple and couldn't help but said in surprise: "Dali Temple is really different from the Xingbu Yamen."
"This place was once the royal residence. Later, the nobles who lived here moved to the suburbs of Beijing, and the house became empty."
More than ten years ago, the Yamen of Dali Temple suddenly collapsed, and several important errands were reduced to the ground, and errands were temporarily moved to private residences.
After the Ministry of Finance was short of money, the renovation work was put on hold for a long time. The emperor simply decreed that Dali Temple should be permanently located in his private residence, and the plaque at the door was completely changed to "Dali Temple".
Yu Zhi walked at the front to lead the way. During the process, he met many colleagues, who all cast curious glances at the three of them. Some even bolder ones took the initiative to talk and asked about the identities of Yun Xi and his party.
When they learned from Yu Zhi that Yun Xi was a traitor, many officials showed surprise and admiration and politely left.
Compared with the hurried Xingbu, the people in Dali Temple act at a leisurely pace and are much kinder and gentler.
Yunxi likes Dali Temple.
The Dali Temple's widow's house is located in a second courtyard on the edge of the private residence. Its location in a corner makes the surrounding area even more quiet.
"Fang Lian'er's body is in the room, please ask Miss Yun to check it out." Yu Zhi said awkwardly: "If there is any difficulty, Miss Yun must not hesitate to speak out."
"Of course." Yun Xi nodded.
During the autopsy process, Yun Xi never showed off.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yu, my young lady's abilities are definitely fine!" Qingguo assured her with a smile and patted her chest.
Yu Zhi felt relieved and couldn't help but smile: "Thank you."
Yun Xi was about to enter the widow's house when she saw the window in the side room opened with a bang, revealing a solemn middle-aged wrinkled face.
As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, there was a strange air of yin and yang that could not be concealed: "Master Yu is so capable that he left the monks in the temple alone and insisted on going to the Ministry of Punishments to ask for help. 'Foreign monks can chant sutras'!"
Oops, is this mocking her or derogatory to adults?
Yun Xi turned her head and looked at Yu Zhi in surprise, and Yu Zhi smiled good-naturedly: "This is Mr. Huang, the disciple of our temple."
"Hello, Mr. Huang." Adhering to the upbringing of respecting the elderly and loving the young, Yun Xi greeted her politely.
Mr. Huang snorted angrily and raised his hand to close the window again.
Yun Xi blinked innocently, as if she saw a strong resentment pouring out from the closed window.
"Hey old man! What's your attitude!" Qingguo put her hands on her hips unconvinced, wanting to speak out.
Yun Xi grabbed the little maid's arm and shook her head silently.
Yu Zhi said with a headache: "This Huang Laozhen... Miss Yun, don't worry about it, just go ahead. The official is waiting here."
"Okay." Yun Xi didn't waste any more time and took Qing Guo into the widow's workshop.
There was only one corpse in the autopsy room, and it must be the deceased "Fang Lian'er" mentioned by Yu Zhi.
Qingguo was completely stunned when he saw the corpse.
"Oh my god... Miss, tell me, it will be difficult to examine Ms. Feng Zhen'er's body. How should we do anything in this situation?"
Unexpectedly, the case and the body were handed over to Dali Temple, but the body had been decomposed for at least half a month. I just wanted to examine... this bloody appearance, are there any clues that can be seen?
"What are you afraid of?" Yun Xi gestured to the little maid to put down the baggage, and said calmly: "Bossed corpses can be examined, but now it's just a backlog of corpses, so it can be repaired."
It's just that it takes a lot of effort to restore the corpse to the way it looked before death.
The two of them counted the items in the baggage, and Yun Xi found that there were still a few tools missing, so she reopened the door of the widow's workshop and said in a loud voice: "Master Yu, I need a few things, so I have to help you run some errands."
Yu Zhi was surprised to see Yun Xi come out so quickly. Hearing that she needed to prepare things, he simply said: "Miss Yun said it's okay. I will go and prepare them immediately."
Yun Xi lowered her voice and said a few words, then handed a folded small prescription to Yu Zhi.
The more Yu Zhi listened, the more surprised he became. After seeing Fang Zi, Monk Zhang Er was even more confused. He had no idea what these insignificant things had to do with the autopsy...
He suppressed his doubts and strode away with the paper in his arms.
When passing by Huang Lao's window, Yu Zhi still vaguely heard a contemptuous snort coming from inside.
He ignored it and left quickly.
