The Delicate Lady Coroner - Chapter 209
In the cold wind, the carriage galloped on the snow-covered official road, and half an hour later, it approached the Bezhuang of Zhongyi Bofu. However, before it approached Zhuangzi, a jump of firelight appeared in their vision first.
Soon, a fast horse galloped up, and when the hoof came close, he saw that it was Luke who came. He said loudly: “Master Hou, we came by coincidence. We met halfway, and the one who moved the coffin was The imperial army is facing off now.”
Huo Weilou’s eyes condensed slightly, and when the carriage had moved forward more than ten feet, it was clear that the embroidered clothing envoy was at odds with more than a dozen forbidden troops.
The first officer on the horse was a valiant lieutenant of the Forbidden Army. Seeing the carriage approaching, he knew that the Huo Wei Tower had arrived. He quickly turned over and dismounted to greet him. The carriage stopped, and the Huo Wei Tower opened the curtain to show up, and the faces of the Forbidden Army changed.
“Farewell to Lord Hou——”
The crowd bowed on one knee and saluted. Huo Weilou remained silent and only looked behind them. A few steps away, two carts were pulling the coffin. The coffin was covered with straw mats and tied with twine. “Back to Zhuangzi!”
The embroidered clothes ambassador wanted to lead the horse. The front of the captain Xiaochang’s complexion changed a little, and finally he couldn’t help getting up. He stepped forward quickly, arched his hands beside the carriage window, and whispered: “Honey, The subordinates are detaining the coffin by your majesty’s order. If Lord Hou wants to cut off the coffin, the subordinates will not be able to explain.”
Huo Weilou watched the embroidered ambassadors turn their horses and whispered in a low voice: “The investigation of this case is also ordered by your majesty. What is your majesty’s guilt? You can take it all at ease.”
The Xiaoqiang Lieutenant was hesitant to speak, but he didn’t dare to contradict him, and finally asked hesitantly: “That…the subordinates now…”
“Go back together. If the corpse in the coffin has nothing to do with the case, I will naturally let you continue to **** it.”
Captain Xiao gritted his teeth and nodded in response.
Huo Weilou brought a group of people back to Zhuangzi.
The carriage stopped in front of the gate of the village, and Huo Weilou and Bo Ruoyou came down together. The embroiderer in front had already untied the hemp rope, and when the straw mat was lifted, there was a tightly fitted ice coffin underneath. He pointed to the inside of the gate, “carry it to the courtyard. !”
The ice and snow on Shicai Road was really not a good place for autopsy. When the ice coffin was carried into the front courtyard, many lights were found to be lit. Not long after, the front yard was brightly lit.
This is the first time Bo Ruoyou saw these two ice coffins. The glittering lights fell on the surface of the coffin, reflecting a thin light. Huo Weilou asked which coffin contained Feng Yu, and then personally pushed the lid of the coffin away. .
Seeing the corpse inside, Bo Ruoyou frowned, “First move the corpse of the old man.”
The corpse in the coffin was the same as that seen that day, and because of the bright lights today, the corpse’s surface was more and more pale. The embroiderer moved Feng Yu’s corpse to the straw mat in the room, and the clothes on his body were not polished. , Shattered into pieces, Bo Ruoyou put on his hand guards and cleaned up the clothes sticking to the corpse. This body, which had been parked in the ice cave for seventeen years, revealed the whole picture.
The surface of the corpse was covered by patches of mildew. When the lights were closer, you could see spots and filamentous mildew crawling across the facial features and folds of the epidermis, which even blurred the face of the deceased. The appearance was difficult to distinguish. His cheeks were sticky to the bones, his eye sockets were sunken, and because he was well preserved, there were no obvious wounds on his body. He looked peaceful, as if Feng Yu had just fallen asleep quietly when he died.
“The remains have been parked for seventeen years. Because they are in an extremely cold place all year round, they have not decayed. But because the ice in the underground palace melts, the corpse storage environment is not only cold and humid. Therefore, in addition to mildew, a little bit of growth has been produced on the corpse table. Corpse wax.”
As Bo Ruoyou said, he carefully wiped off the mildew on the surface of the corpse. “The corpse wax keeps the corpse roughly intact, but the water loss of the corpse still makes the skin and flesh shriveled, and the water vapor will also make the corpse grow very slowly. Therefore, The corpse’s snout, lower body, and mildew are even worse, and the corpse wax may preserve the traces of injuries during the lifetime, such as strangulations, grooves, etc.—”
Pieces of mildew adhered to the surface of the corpse, which was difficult to remove due to years of breeding, and the waxy surface of the corpse was easy to be crushed, so Bo Ruoyou had to be very careful to wipe off the mildew and expose the original surface of the corpse.
“If it’s just a light scar, it will be covered up when the corpse wax is formed. Only the deeper mark before death may be left to the present.”
After Bo Ruoyou finished speaking, he had cleaned the face of the deceased. The cheeks of the cute child who were supposed to be Yuxue had long turned into a piece of pewter leather. At this moment, he suddenly saw it. The appearance, the eyebrows and the bones were alternated, and there were indeed two parts of Feng Qin’s shadow. Bo Ruoyou cleaned up from the neck of the deceased again. After the upper body was cleaned up, no suspected injuries were found.
There were no obvious wounds and no scars such as pinching. If no clues were found on the corpse, not only could not prove Feng Qin’s guilt, but their suspicion of Feng Qin’s harm to Feng Yu was wrong.
The cold dripping water in the room turned into ice, and Bo Ruoyou was bent over with his handguards, but sweaty on his forehead. The people at the autopsy were unable to help, so he could only wait quietly without disturbing her. Huo Weilou stood in front, Sun Zhao and Wu Xiang Guarding at the door, the imprisoned soldiers also guarded outside with anxiety. They really don’t know why this Wu Zhaohou came to inspect the bodies of the loyal uncle’s wife and children.
“Master Hou——”
In the room full of silence, Bo Ruoyou suddenly opened his mouth. Huo Weilou hurriedly came forward, only to see that Bo Ruoyou was cleaning the mildew on the child’s feet. However, on the outside of the child’s left foot, there were three fingers wide rotted. The wound.
There was no obvious wound on the whole body. As a result, this wound became extraordinarily weird. After Bo Ruoyou removed the mildew, even after many years, he could see that the skin and flesh of the original wound had turned out, rotted and scabbed.
Huo Weilou’s eyes sank, “What kind of injury is this?”
“It was a trauma. The original breach, perhaps only the size of an inch-long knife, was not immediately sent to the underground palace after the deceased died. Therefore, the wounded place where blood was seen began to rot. Later, the corpse moved into the underground palace and stopped decayed. Keep the wound.” A cold color floated from the bottom of her pupils, “I all know that the child died of the plague, but Feng Yu was a gold medalist, and there was absolutely no possibility that her body would be traumatized. The rod is killed, this is to cover people’s eyes and eyes, and kill people.”
“Later, the child was buried and buried. It was only he himself. Naturally, no one knew of the child’s abnormality. Moreover, most of the children, including Wen Jin, were injured in the bloodline on the outside of the ankle. The wound was not large. Others only thought It was an abrasion, and I didn’t think it was the murderer, and Feng Yu also had a wound on his foot.”
Wu Xiang knew this best, and he immediately stepped forward, “What about the cause of death? Maybe he was bled to death?”
Bo Ruo fainted his eyes, and the body was pale, but it may have been mildewed from freezing all the year round. It cannot be treated as excessive blood loss. Feng Qin claimed that the child had died of the plague. The plague had a sore throat and coughed severely. He could still see blood, Bo Ruoyou pondered for a moment, “The cause of death cannot be determined.”
She looked at Huo Weilou again, “Master Hou, I want to have an autopsy to see if this child has really suffered from the plague. According to the lighting hospital, if he could cough and bleed, and he was stained with red clothes, the child’s lungs There must be a lot of residual blood in the esophagus and trachea, as long as the organs have not rotted completely, it can be seen.”
At this point, Huo Weilou certainly didn’t need to ask Feng Qin’s meaning, he made a decisive decision, “Then the autopsy.”
Bo Ruoyou opened the box and selected a corpse knife in his hand, and quickly pierced the blade into the chest of the corpse. The corpse was frozen all year round. Although it was moved out of the underground palace, it was still cold outside, so the body surface did not change. The waxy skin and flesh were touched like candle fat, and the blade cut in. No corpse water was seen flowing out. Soon, the corpse’s throat and the entire chest cavity were cut open.
A moldy corpse is different from a corrupt corpse, and the smell of the corpse is also weak. However, this is a child corpse, which has been dead for many years, and now has his chest cut open. It is a bit horrible to anyone who has never seen a corpse. With this feeling, Sun Zhao’s eyes trembled and turned and walked away a few steps. Bo Ruoyou knelt on the edge of the straw mat, his sharp sword as firm and steady as her eyes.
The cold wind shouted outside the door. In order to prevent the corpse from being heated, neither Bo Ruoyou nor Huo Wei Building had any intention of starting a fire. After a full half an hour, Bo Ruoyou straightened his waist, “The internal organs of the deceased are also mildewed,” Only the left and right lungs, lung ducts, trachea and throat of the deceased were not found traces of residual blood. Not only that, even though the organs of the deceased were moldy, they were quite different from the tuberculosis organs I had seen. Have suffered from the disease in the lungs.”
Although the plague is not a tuberculosis disease, you can hear Ming Zhonghuai’s description that Feng Yu’s lesions were mostly on the lungs, but now that the autopsy is obtained, Feng Yu is not like a person who has had a lung disease. I speculate that Feng Yu should have only contracted the wind and cold back then, but Feng Qin said that he had the plague, and the plague needs to be separated separately, which is just convenient for Feng Qin to start with him.”
Wu Xiang was overjoyed, “In this way, Feng Qin is lying! With this alone, we are justified!”
Huo Weilou’s cold eyes sank, “Feng Qin kept the corpses of his wife and children in order to make a cover for himself, but he was afraid that he could not think of it. In this way, it happened to keep the evidence of the crime!”
Bo Ruoyou was also afraid for a while. If he had buried the two of them in the first place, or Feng Qin used other methods to preserve the corpse, if the corpse was corrupt, now he could not find the evidence of these crimes!
Huo Weilou turned to make Lu Ke come in, “Capture Feng Qin!”
Whether it is the case of the Buddha treasure or the murder of several children, it has been delayed for several years. These days, everyone has worked hard for this, but the real culprit has always been hidden in the dark. It was easy to find Feng Qin, but he was almost convicted of it. Little escape punishment, and now the four words Huo Weilou have lifted everyone’s spirits!
“Yes! The subordinates will return to the city to get people!”
Lu Ke called a few embroidered clothes ambassadors to accompany him, and he soon left Zhuangzi. Bo Ruoyou sorted out Feng Yu’s body, got up and asked Huo Weilou, “Will there be obstacles to getting people right now?”
Huo Weilou had already thought of this place, “I will enter the palace immediately after returning to Beijing.” He looked at the remains on the straw mat and the ice coffin outside, “The remains of the Anyang County Lord is still temporarily placed here, and Feng Yu is murdered. , His body was sent back to Yizhuang, the capital to be parked.”
Bo Ruoyou had already begun to take off his guards, but when she heard this, she looked thoughtfully at the ice coffin of Anyang Princess.
Before I came, I only speculated that Feng Yu was the victim, so the target of inspection was Feng Yu’s body. Now that Feng Yu’s body is examined, they can leave here and return to Beijing by coffining it, but Bo Ruoyou is suddenly a little uneasy. The sense of.
She stepped up to the ice coffin, “I want to see the remains of Anyang Princess.”
Huo Weilou ordered the embroidered clothes envoy to put Feng Yu’s body back into the coffin, and then came and pushed the coffin lid open. The next moment, the body of Anyang Princess appeared in Bo Ruoyou’s eyes.
The water-red palace dress was bright in color, as if he was happy, looking at this moldy face, Bo Ruoyou seemed to be able to think of how beautiful she was when she was alive. Her pupils suddenly shrank,” Mingyuan said. At that time, the imperial doctor in the palace went to the Bofu. Originally, the condition of the Anyang princess had stabilized, but after the imperial doctor left, the princess’s condition repeated and he died in the end.”
Huo Weilou naturally remembered this statement, “Yes…you suspect that the death of the princess is also weird?”
Bo Ruoyou frowned, “There is no proof, but although the postpartum hemorrhage is dangerous, the doctor said that he has stabilized the condition, so he should not suddenly die.”
“If there is any doubt, check it.” Huo Wei ordered the embroiderer to lift Anyang’s body out and put it back on the straw mat in the house.
Bo Ruoyou naturally wanted to find out what was so easy to worry about, put on the guards again, and examined the head and face of the corpse first.
Also parked in the extremely cold place for several years, the body of the Anyang Princess was also covered with mildew. She was carefully pretended to be annihilated. After a long time, most of the hair fell off, and the remaining hair was also withered and fragile. After a slight stroke, it broke off from the top of the skull. Bo Ruoyou habitually cleaned off the broken hair on the top of the skull, and then went to check the skull that should have been tightly stitched. Soon, a noticeable depression under the fingertips changed her face.
