Yan Lin was extremely reluctant. Although he was a doctor, it was unlucky to see dead people.

Thinking of how he had repeatedly asked for water to wash up last night and how the waiter had looked at him as if he were a monkey, Yan Lin waved his hands and said, "No, Zhang is dead. Performing an autopsy on the deceased is the job of a coroner, not a doctor!"

Seeing the officer and his son shoving each other, Xiao Wu also joined in, "Officer, my son has blood phobia..."

"Zhang committed suicide by hanging. I guarantee that Doctor Yan will not faint."

Several officers brought Yan Lin over, but Yan Lin was no match for them and was carried onto the horse like a chick.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuzi volunteered, "I'll go too. I can't be separated from my young master!"

The officer looked at Xiao Wuzi and saw no intention of taking him with him. He suggested, "The lady who went with us to the Ma family yesterday is quite capable. Why don't you go back and tell them about it and ask them to come along as well?"

The Ma family's scandal spread throughout the city overnight, and this morning everyone in the streets was talking about it.

Zhang, as the central figure, suddenly disappeared, which attracted the attention of the people.

"We are under a lot of pressure. The Lord has already ordered that we must investigate thoroughly. Even if Zhang is fickle, she is not a treacherous and evil person who deserves death."

The officer sighed a few times and left in a hurry, leaving Xiaowu standing there in a daze. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly ran to the inn.

After seeing Jiang Yuzhu, Xiao Wuzi wiped his sweat and said anxiously: "Madam Xie, the officials have kidnapped my son!"

Jiang Yuzhu raised her eyelids, took a sip of porridge slowly, and then asked, "Did your son get into trouble?"

"How can that be possible!"

Xiao Wu lamented the young master's bad luck and eloquently explained the whole story, "Zhang hanged herself, and the officials took the young master away, just to throw a brick to attract jade. My young master is a brick, and the officials' intentions are not to drink, but to lure you away!"

Jiang Yuzhu put down her chopsticks, curled her lips and smiled, "You and Yan Lin are indeed master and servant. The misuse of idioms and allusions is no exception."

Yesterday, Zhang was forcibly separated in public, her eyes filled with joy at having survived.

Jiang Yuzhu observed Zhang and always felt that this person valued life very much.

Overnight, the man suddenly committed suicide by hanging himself. No wonder the officials suspected something fishy was going on.

Having nothing to do, Jiang Yuzhu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look at the Sun family."

Jiang Yuzhu brought a few maids to the street in front of the Ma family's gate. The area was already crowded with people who came to watch the fun and were whispering to each other.

"Zhang is a widow, and she got a lot of money from being with Old Man Ma. She has a bad reputation, no children, and doesn't visit her parents. Why wouldn't she run away with the money and remarry?"

"That's right, Zhang is such a flirt and shameless person, how could she possibly commit suicide out of shame?"

Not only did the common people not believe it, even the servants of the Ma family noticed that the atmosphere in the mansion was depressing and weird.

Jiang Yuzhu was standing at the edge of the street. The police officer who was maintaining order was very sharp-eyed and immediately shouted to everyone, "Make way, everyone, the female coroner is here!"

So, under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Yuzhu successfully entered the Ma Mansion.

Having been here once yesterday, Jiang Yuzhu was familiar with the place and went straight to the backyard with a few maids.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Jiang Yuzhu was attracted by the person lying straight on the ground. She rubbed her eyebrows and asked, "Why did Doctor Yan faint again?"

Those who didn’t know would still think that there was a corpse lying on the ground.

Seeing this, Xiao Wuzi rushed forward and wailed, "Master, Master, please wake up and don't leave me behind!"

Yan Lin had just recovered when he was attacked by a splatter of saliva and almost fainted again.

"Little Five!"

The human-shaped water fountain was still producing saliva. Yan Lin finally couldn't bear it anymore and his voice became a little higher.

A police officer came over and apologized, "We didn't lie. Zhang is still hanging on the tree. It was Boss Ma who had a nosebleed, and it just happened to fall on Doctor Yan..."

Yan Lin's condition had improved, but he got sick again because of a sudden nosebleed.

Jiang Yuzhu shook her head and sighed, and for the first time she felt sympathy for Yan Lin's bad luck.

"Mrs. Xie, are you here to save me?"

Yan Lin was very touched and was willing to give Jiang Yuzhu another 10% profit from the medicine shop.

Jiang Yuzhu kept silent, her eyes fixed on an old tree with a thick trunk in the small garden in the backyard.

At the beginning of April in the lunar calendar, the sky is clear and the air is fresh, and fresh leaves have already grown on the trees.

Zhang was wearing a pink dress, hanging high up, with her eyes wide open and her face ferocious.

Under the tree, the coroner was directing the officers while everyone was digging a hole.

Jiang Yuzhu was filled with awe when she saw how professional the coroner was. Could it be that forensic medicine in the Great Qi Dynasty had become so advanced?

In modern times, there is indeed a method of testing the soil below for microorganisms to determine whether the death was suicide.

Standing quietly on the side, Jiang Yuzhu did not disturb.

After waiting for a while, she felt something was not right. She asked the officer beside her, "Sir, is it necessary to dig this pit so deep?"

"Madam, you are a foreigner and don't understand the customs of our place. This pit must be dug three feet deep, not shallower."

After the officer finished speaking, he found a ruler to measure and urged a few more times.

Jiang Yuzhu looked confused. Could it be that she had misunderstood?

Seeing Jiang Yuzhu's confusion, the official took the initiative to explain: "Look, there are many places in the Ma Mansion, but Zhang chose to hang herself under a tree. That's because this way of dying is more down-to-earth."

"It's said that those who hang themselves will not receive a guide from the ghost messenger to the underworld, so charcoal must be buried three feet underground to ensure a peaceful burial and a good family in their next life."

Since Zhang committed suicide by hanging, she must have buried the charcoal first.

This was the first time Jiang Yuzhu heard about it, but she didn't want to show anything. The dead are the most important, so she should respect local customs.

"It was dug out. There was charcoal. It was suicide!"

The coroner and the constable took out the charcoal and showed it to the Ma family.

Strangely, Old Madam Ma didn't show any gloating. Instead, she cried with a worried look on her face, "Zhang, why are you so depressed?"

The rest of the Ma family members had gloomy expressions on their faces, and no expression could be seen.

Ma Xiaoqin, the old man's daughter, scoffed, "How could Zhang, with her shamelessness, give up the Ma family's wealth? It's likely that my father died unjustly, and she's here to settle the score with the vixen!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Ma family had different expressions.

Ma Xiaoqin still felt unhappy and said sarcastically, "Mom, Zhang died at the right time. She could have been buried with Dad, so they could have kept each other company."

"You little girl, why don't you go back to your husband's house and stop meddling in your mother's family's affairs!"

Old Mrs. Ma heard what her daughter meant and jumped up in anger.

Although she had long disliked Old Man Ma, why should she help the dead old man and the vixen? No way!

Ma Xiaoqin said sarcastically, "When my father was alive, he made it very clear that I am a daughter of the Ma family and I have a share of the family property!"

"Stop daydreaming. A daughter once married is like spilled water!"

Since Boss Ma didn't say anything, Second Ma was unwilling.

There is only so much property in the family. If there is one more person to share the money, he will get one less cent.

Ma Lao Er was furious when his own interests were touched. "Marry a man to provide you with food and clothing, but look at the man you married. You go back to your parents' home every few days to beg for money. Aren't you ashamed?"
