The Qian family and the Wu family joined forces to attack the Yamen, just to find the remains of their relatives as soon as possible. They were not treacherous criminals. Not to mention Lu Qingfan and his party, no one even the ordinary police officers seriously attacked them.

The two families were sure that the government would not really kill them, so they became so arrogant.

"How is it appropriate to block people in the street and push them around?" Magistrate Song became furious and angrily told everyone to let go, and then he managed to control the messy situation.

He pulled up his clothes angrily and said in a deep voice: "For the case of Qian Feng and Wu Tai, I specially invited people from the Criminal Department to assist me. What else do you want?"

"An official of the Ministry of Justice...is he older than the prefect?" A charming concubine from an unknown family in the crowd asked rashly, but was glared at by the middle-aged woman with a face as big as a silver platter at the front, and she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"As long as the master's remains can be found as soon as possible... our Qian family will never treat our benefactor badly." The middle-aged woman finished her words, and the thin woman beside her couldn't help but nod.

Come to think of it, the person who responded was Mrs. Wu.

"Master Lu is about to be transferred to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The Yun Zuo next to him has solved a major case in Qingzhou that has been difficult to solve for several years. Are you still afraid that Qian Feng's body will not be found?" Magistrate Song immediately pushed Lu Qingfan and Yun Xi out.

.

"She? She's a female prostitute? Can she do an autopsy..." Not to mention Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Wu, even the few servants in the crowd showed disbelief.

"I can do it." Yun Xi emphasized seriously: "Two madams, I can identify the remains and trace the corpses."

She is also good at medicine, medicine, poisoning, and fragrance mixing...but these are not enough for outsiders.

"Although Yun Zuozuo is a girl, she is also a member of the Yamen who has obtained an official post. Do you two still have any doubts?" When Lu Qingfan opened his mouth, his cool and calm aura was quite convincing.

The two ladies looked at each other and didn't raise any further questions.

Seeing this, Yun Xi said warmly: "If we want to identify the remains of the two gentlemen, Yun Xi still has some details to ask. I wonder if the two ladies would like to come to the Yamen to talk about it?"

Different from Lu Qingfan's sharp and oppressive attitude, Yun Xi's beautiful appearance and gentle attitude are even more approachable.

Mrs. Wu looked at Mrs. Qian with an inquiring gaze, and Mrs. Qian nodded briefly: "That's fine, let's chat with the adults for a while."

The two ladies had to go to the Yamen, and the others had to disperse.

When the streets and alleys outside the Yamenkou returned to silence, Yun Xi clearly saw that Magistrate Song's tense shoulders relaxed.

He has been troubled by money recently, and the Wu family has been having a hard time!

Yun Xi's master and servant wanted to go to the autopsy first, while Lu Qingfan and his entourage followed Magistrate Song to interrogate the suspect; Mrs. Qian and Wu were waiting for Yun Xi in the side compartment.

The three groups of people in the group were busy working on their own, and then met at the back office to exchange news.

Master Yunxi and his servant were led by a servant to a small room deep in the backyard.

After opening the door, Yun Xi found that it was just an ordinary woodshed with no corpses at all.

"Brother, where is the body we want to examine?" Qingguo asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Don't worry, girls, the body is indeed in this room." The eldest brother chuckled, poked a lock on the ground with the key around his neck, and opened the wooden board to reveal a large cellar that could accommodate several people passing through side by side.

"It turns out there is another cave." Yun Xi chuckled and pulled Qing Guo to follow.

The servant leading the way suddenly blushed, and he did not forget to explain in a low voice: "The Qian family and the Wu family used to do business together. The family is so big that they don't need money. No, the two masters were accidentally killed, and the bodies can't be separated.

Obviously, they simply stored the bodies in ice coffins."

"No wonder." Yun Xi nodded clearly.

The weather is getting warmer in April, and people in the Jiangnan area have changed into light clothing and thin clothes. If you want to preserve the ice coffin for a long time, it is indeed more suitable to store it in a cellar.

It's just that for the author, it is easy to misjudge the time of death from a frozen corpse, and some clues may be lost due to the low temperature of the corpse.

Now is not the time to care about these things, only after a priori experience.

Walking into the cellar, there was a flat area. Yun Xi discovered that there were several coffins neatly placed in the cellar. There were also notes on the sides of the coffins with their names written on them, making it easier to identify the deceased.

I have to say that Lingshui City is really particular about preserving corpses.

She also had a good impression of Lingshui Magistrate's Yamen in her heart.

"That's it for these two." The officer found the body of the principal and asked politely: "Yun Zuo, do you need to carry the body up?"

"If you need it, you can do it."

After Yun Xi finished speaking, the officer blushed again and hurriedly left to find someone to move the body.

After a while, the group of people placed the body in a special widow's room.

Yun Xi put on her bib and sheepskin gloves and prepared for the autopsy.

After taking a cursory look at the two corpses, she couldn't help but sigh. "No wonder Magistrate Song said it was difficult."

One of the two corpses was wearing a green and purple gold-swallowing crane brocade robe, and the other was wearing a purple satin eight-treasure dragon coiled shirt... At first glance, they really looked like the same person.

"Miss, why do these two deceased people look like the same person?" Qingguo also felt that something was wrong.

"Yes. That's why Magistrate Song said it was difficult to tell, and even the family members couldn't explain it."

The two deceased persons were similar in stature, age, and even the style of their clothing.

If you want to accurately determine which of the two is who, a caesarean autopsy is indispensable. There are very few people in this dynasty who are good at caesarean autopsies. The best ones are all in the capital. It takes a lot of time to go back and forth, and we really can't afford to delay them.

Only then did Magistrate Song have to seek help from Yun Xi and his party who were passing by here.

If the skull of the corpse is still there, Yun Xi may be able to more accurately determine who is Qian Feng and who is Wu Tai by performing a craniotomy test.

Now, we can only rely on caesarean section and autopsy.

After untying the deceased's clothes and placing them neatly, Yun Xi picked up the scalpel and pointed it at the deceased's chest, saying softly: "Let's work."

At this moment, Lu Qingfan and the Leng brothers followed Magistrate Song to the prison.

On the way, Lu Qingfan had already quickly read the file and the confession... No, maybe this cannot be called a qualified "confession".

Because Wu Tai drank too much, he answered "I don't know" to all the important questions asked in the Yamen interrogation: he didn't know whether he really killed someone, nor did he remember that he didn't kill someone.

This was also the first time Lu Qingfan had seen a suspect who was so vague and did not dare to complain.

"On the day the deceased was discovered, the suspect Zhang Ye, Qian Feng and Wu Tai had dinner and drinks together. Qian Feng, the heaviest drinker, even drank himself down, not to mention Zhang Ye, the least drinker of the three. He didn't even remember how he got home that night.

.”

Magistrate Song said with a slightly helpless tone, "It is a common thing for these three people to drink together. People in Lingshui City are not surprised."

The Qian family came to report to the government the next day, saying that Qian Feng had not returned all night. Coincidentally, before noon, they found a headless corpse in the bushes of the deserted garden.

"Of course we think the person who was beheaded to death was Qian Feng! Mrs. Qian also confirmed that the clothes of the deceased were exactly what he was wearing when he went out the day before."

Unexpectedly, three days later, a headless corpse appeared again. His stature and appearance were very similar to Qian Feng, but his clothes belonged to Wu Tai.

"The ladies of the Wu family are so confused. Their man has been missing for three days without reporting it to the official. It was us who came to find him."
