Chapter 54: The detective is right next to me?
Even Liang Zhou and others couldn't help but look at Chang Yunxiao in surprise.
Why is he getting involved in a murder case?
Only Zhu Lan keenly caught the gleam in Chang Yunxiao's eyes.
Is this guy...excited?
"Go back here. Why are you trying to show off instead of studying hard?" Coroner Zhang scolded with his old face drooping instantly.
Captain Zhuang's gloomy gaze hovered between Zhang the coroner and Chang Yunxiao.
He had just reported to the Censor that the deceased committed suicide, and this little brat jumped out to sing a different tune. What does he mean?
Deliberately embarrass him?
Censor Zhao asked Chang Yunxiao with red eyes what basis he had.
In his heart he did not believe that his daughter committed suicide, but the coroner and the captain of the police in the yamen were all very sure about it.
As an imperial censor, he was not good at criminal matters, and now someone finally spoke out his doubts.
"It's just some guesses. We have to wait and see." Chang Yunxiao said directly without even bowing to Censor Zhao.
"Sir, how can you take a child's words seriously? This kid was picked up by the coroner in the government office. Even if he really knows something, he can't be better than his father.
Besides, if the body is damaged..."
Captain Zhuang sounded a little anxious.
Even Zhang the coroner was winking at Chang Yunxiao, telling him to get out quickly and not cause trouble.
Chang Yunxiao looked straight ahead and only looked at Censor Zhao.
Seeing that although he was young, Censor Zhao exuded a calmness that was not in line with his age, he hesitated for a long time and finally nodded.
Chang Yunxiao walked to Zhao Wenyuan's body.
"Wow——" The whole white cloth was lifted, and the corpse with a purple face appeared in front of everyone.
Even Zhu Qingyan and Xue Mei, who were watching, were so frightened that they closed their eyes and dared not look.
Chang Yunxiao walked around Zhao Wenyuan's body twice, and finally stopped beside her neck. He squatted down and carefully observed the mark of strangulation, while measuring something on the mark with his fingers.
Finally, he used a handkerchief to pry open Zhao Wenyuan's mouth and even leaned close to smell it.
Coroner Zhang watched from the side, sighing and shaking his head.
Unprofessional, very unprofessional.
I don't know where this kid learned the autopsy technique, it's such a mess!
The kind-hearted constable nearby handed Chang Yunxiao a bowl of San Shen Soup.
Sanshen Soup is made from three medicinal herbs: Atractylodes lancea, Atractylodes macrocephala, and Licorice. It has the effect of exorcising evil spirits and can prevent you from being entangled by unclean things when you come into contact with a corpse.
Chang Yunxiao didn't notice the person behind him and accidentally bumped into him, and the bowl of soup almost spilled on the corpse.
"Stay away!" He turned back suddenly, frowned and scolded.
He hates being interrupted when he's working.
The constable was much older than him, but he was frightened by Chang Yunxiao's eyes and stepped aside in embarrassment.
Are coroners so brave nowadays that they don’t even drink the Three Gods Soup? Aren’t they afraid of being contaminated by some evil spirit?
Coroner Zhang pulled Chang Yunxiao aside.
"Oh my dear, please stop embarrassing yourself here, okay?"
Then he pointed to the drooping toes of the corpse and said, "If it was killed, the body would be stiff, and then it would be hung up, how could the toes be like that?"
Captain Zhuang is watching us. If I lose my job, how will we feed ourselves?
Please, you are my father, okay?"
Some people in the crowd also started to discuss quietly.
"I heard that Chang Yunxiao is very strange. He likes to go to the government office to dig up corpses whenever he has nothing to do!"
"Oh my god, if I had known he had touched a corpse, I wouldn't have lent him a book last time..."
"I heard that people who work as coroners are a little bit abnormal and have a lot of negative energy. We should stay away from them in the future."
Except for Zhu Lan and the others who had traveled through time together, all the other students had fear on their faces.
Zhu Lan nudged Qiao Youyou with his elbow and asked in a low voice:
"By the way... do you know what Chang Yunxiao did after he graduated?"
Qiao Youyou shook her head in confusion.
Liang Zhou came over, looking gossipy, "I heard that Lao Chang seemed to be studying medicine, but later I heard that he went to the police academy for further studies..."
Xu Shiming slapped his forehead:
"I remember now! One time my father went to the provincial government for a meeting, and when he came back he told me that the Provincial Public Security Bureau had produced a great forensic detective who had solved several major unsolved cases at a young age. He was the youngest legend in the entire police force, and was known as 'Little Song Ci'!
Moreover, the forensic doctor's last name seems to be Chang!"
After Xu Shiming finished speaking, he looked at Chang Yunxiao, and then he realized what was happening. He murmured, "Oh my god, Old Chang is so awesome!"
Everyone: What? The detective is right next to me!
At this time, Chang Yunxiao was helplessly looking at the chattering coroner Zhang, who was spitting and asking him to stop making trouble.
Coroner Zhang thought that the child just loved to show off and, out of curiosity, thought solving cases was fun, so he came out to make such a sensational move to attract attention.
Chang Yunxiao pointed at Zhao Wenyuan's body and patiently explained:
"After a person dies, it takes some time for rigor mortis to set in. If a body has just died, after being hung on the beam for a while, the toes will also droop."
"Nonsense!" Coroner Zhang was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Next time you try it on a freshly dead body, you'll know."
"I'll try your mother's eggs!"
If the Lord Censor had not been present, Zhang the coroner would have taken off his shoes and thrown them at him.
This kid has no control over his words. How dare he say such taboo words?
"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and how many dead bodies have you seen? I've examined more corpses than you've eaten meals, you know nothing, get out of here and go back to school!"
The two of them kept saying "corpse" and "dead man", and Censor Zhao's face became more and more ugly.
“That’s enough!”
Censor Zhao looked at Chang Yunxiao coldly, his voice suppressing anger, "You said my daughter was murdered, do you have any evidence?"
Chang Yunxiao stopped arguing with Zhang the coroner and said to Zhao Yushi:
"My Lord, just look at the marks. If a person hangs himself, he will instinctively scratch the rope around his neck when he can't breathe, leaving marks.
Not only that, when a person struggles, the position of the rope around the neck will move slightly, which means that the marks will not be so neat. "
Coroner Zhang immediately refuted that judging from the condition of the corpse, the person must have been hanged by this rope.
"I didn't say she was hung up after her death." Chang Yunxiao said lightly.
"No, it's not that he's dead... then he must be alive and went up there by himself, right?" Coroner Zhang was confused and started gesticulating with his hands and feet.
Even Captain Zhuang standing nearby was stunned.
Wasn’t this son raised by me? How could he be so noisy?
"What I mean is," Chang Yunxiao explained again word by word, "she was still alive when she was hung, but she didn't hang herself."
"She was probably hung up there after she passed out after eating something."
Zhao Wenyuan's mother had just woken up. When she heard these words, she screamed "Ah" and fainted again.
Chang Yunxiao looked at Zhao Yushi, "If you want to know the cause of death and clues about the murderer, there is only one way."
"What method?" Censor Zhao almost gritted his teeth as he said this.
"Dissect the body and find the food residue in her stomach."
"Asshole!" Censor Zhao was furious.
