Chapter 93 Murdered
A moment.
After Jiang Yunxi finished the inspection, he signaled the servants to close the coffin.
"Sister, what's going on with my great-grandmother?" Jiang Jingyan asked hurriedly when he saw her coming over. He also wanted to know what exactly happened.
"She wasn't poisoned, nor was she stabbed. There were no marks on her neck. She died from suffocation." Jiang Yunxi said as she examined her.
She was taking a nap, how could she be short of breath?
"She can't breathe. Maybe she's just out of breath. After all, she's over eighty years old." Zhen Minglang instantly felt confident.
The look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Yunxi was full of disgust and dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yunxi said with a frosty face: "No, she was suffocated to death."
As soon as she finished speaking, the whole audience was boiling.
The old lady was murdered.
Everyone started talking in low voices.
The Zhen family has two sons. The old lady is the eldest daughter-in-law of the family. She is very popular among the elders and manages the Zhen family very well.
He was kind-hearted and did good deeds all his life. He had a very good reputation and never made enemies with anyone. How could he be suffocated to death?
"You're talking nonsense, it's impossible!" Zhen Minglang had an expression of disbelief on his face. How could someone suffocate the old lady to death, especially in his house?
"We can report it to the authorities and have the coroner come to check it out." Jiang Yunxi didn't mind having another person come to check it out.
"Yun Xi, was your great-grandmother really suffocated to death?" Zhen Zhibang was shaking with anger when he said this. You know, he suspected something was wrong from the beginning.
Later, after hearing some words from Zhen Minglang, he dispelled that doubt.
I didn't expect that my mother was really murdered.
"Well, I suggest you report it to the police." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. Only when the coroner comes to check will the people present be convinced.
Zhen Zhibang looked at Zhen Hengyuan and said, "Hengyuan, report this immediately to the authorities and have them send a coroner to perform an autopsy."
"Yes, father." Zhen Hengyuan said and walked outside, intending to report to the police in person. His grandmother had been kind to him since he was a child, and he could not accept that she was killed by someone.
She still remembered that when she went to her third uncle's house at the beginning of the month, she told him with a smile that she would be back next month and would stay in the Zhen Mansion ever since.
I’ll consider whether to go to my second and third uncles’ houses again after the New Year.
I didn't expect that when we met again, she had passed away.
Everyone present was sighing with regret that such a happy funeral had to be reported to the police.
Jiang Yunxi glanced at everyone present one by one. The person who killed his great-grandmother should be among them, but he was not sure whether it was from the third house.
No one knows who the last person my great-grandmother saw was.
"Uncle, I want to go down and rest for a while." Jiang Yunxi said lightly. She couldn't tell them that she was going to look for the soul of her great-grandmother.
"I will immediately arrange for someone to take you to the guesthouse. There are many guest rooms there. Can you stay together?" Zhen Zhibang asked.
"Okay, I have something to tell you in private." Jiang Yunxi said.
Zhen Zhibang quickly followed her out.
The two chatted for a few words, and the housekeeper immediately took them to the guest house and assigned them maids, telling them to just tell them if they needed anything.
In the room.
"Sister Yunxi, was my great-grandmother really suffocated to death?" Jiang Shixue asked with red eyes and deep sadness on her face.
"Yes, she was murdered. I'm going out later, so don't follow me." Jiang Yunxi planned to quietly leave the Zhen Mansion to find her great-grandmother.
With her birth date and her underwear, she has a way to find her.
"Sister, I will go with you. It's very dangerous for you to go alone at night. Although I am afraid of those things, I can accompany you." Jiang Jingyan patted his chest and said.
The main thing is that with her around, he shouldn't be afraid.
"Okay." Jiang Yunxi agreed after considering it. She also wanted him to broaden his horizons.
"You guys go, Shixue and I will take good care of Momo and Mianmian." Jiang Jinghuai did not insist on going. Even though he was in the Zhen Mansion, the child still had to be looked after.
Jiang Yunxi nodded.
In the room.
She placed the old lady's clothes on the table, set up a formation, and then calculated her birth date and time, and soon she determined a direction.
Jiang Yunxi immediately took Jiang Jingyan out of the house.
Before they reached the gate of the mansion, they happened to meet Zhen Hengyuan and his government officials.
"Yun Xi, are you going out? The government officials are here. Why don't you go there first and take a look together." Zhen Hengyuan still hoped that she would go.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, they won’t be able to figure it out.
"Then let's go and take a look." Jiang Yunxi said. The inspection would be quick anyway, so some people might find excuses to make a fuss while she was away.
The group quickly headed to the mourning hall.
When they arrived, there was still a lot of crying, and people came to pay their respects from time to time.
"Father, the government officials have arrived, and they have brought the coroner from the yamen." Zhen Hengyuan walked forward and said quickly.
"Let the coroner check it out immediately." Zhen Zhibang said without hesitation. After the coroner finished the examination, if there were any problems, they could raise them on the spot.
The coroner looked at the coffin and said, "We have to take the body out before we can examine it."
"No, it's already in the coffin and can't be taken out." Zhen Minglang said unhappily.
"Third brother..."
"You should be an experienced coroner. You can check directly after opening the coffin. That's what I did just now." Jiang Yunxi interrupted Zhen Zhibang.
Seeing that they were unwilling to move the person out, the coroner had no choice but to give up.
When he was examining, everyone present was watching, and those who had been crying heartbroken stopped crying.
Jiang Yunxi glanced around.
People from the first, second and third wives are all here.
My great-grandfather had a younger brother, so I guess people from that branch of the family have come as well. My grandmother's cousin is from that branch of the family, so she will definitely come too.
A moment later.
The coroner put down his tools, looked at Zhen Zhibang and said, "Mr. Zhen, the old lady died of suffocation because she couldn't breathe."
"Did she die because someone covered her mouth and nose with something?" Zhen Zhibang's anger grew little by little. He wondered if his mother was tortured before her death.
"Yes." The coroner nodded. His examination confirmed that this was indeed the case.
Everyone: “…”
Jiang Yunxi said calmly: "It seems that I am not wrong. The old lady was indeed suffocated to death."
Zhen Zhibang suddenly looked at Zhen Minglang and said through gritted teeth, "Third brother, shouldn't you explain why mother was suffocated to death in your house?"
Zhen Minglang was stunned and said with great emotion, "Brother, I swear I didn't do anything to kill my mother. Someone must have framed me."
"Third brother, think carefully about who your mother met before she died." Zhen Chengzhou asked in a deep voice. He didn't expect that his mother was really killed by someone.
Jiang Yunxi didn't want to listen to their argument. She winked at Jiang Jingyan, indicating that he should follow her.
The two of them quietly left the Zhen Mansion.
"Sister, have you found where your great-grandmother's soul is?" Jiang Jingyan asked with sparkling eyes.
"Yes." Jiang Yunxi walked quickly towards the south.
