Chapter 56: Anatomy? Let me open my eyes!
Since Zhong Maoqing said he would do it himself, Censor Zhao immediately expressed his complete confidence.
If even Zhong Sicheng can't be trusted, then no one can be trusted!
The autopsy could not be performed in broad daylight, so Zhong Maoqing asked two constables to move Zhao Wenyuan's body back to the study.
He and Chang Yunxiao walked in one after the other, and the door was closed tightly.
When Ouyang Ye learned of Zhao Wenyuan's death, he had already ordered the academy to be sealed off and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
The students could not go home, and since it was their first time experiencing such an exciting thing, many of them stayed in Qingyayuan to see what would happen next.
"What is this 'anatomy'?" Xue Mei covered her mouth and asked Zhu Qingyan secretly.
Zhu Qingyan also shook his head in confusion. It was not written in the book.
"I know, I know!" Xiang Wenyuan's head squeezed between the two of them.
"Have you ever seen people slaughtering pigs and sheep? They use a knife to dismantle a human body, taking apart all the internal organs, arms and legs..."
"Ahhh, stop talking!" Not only did Xue Mei cover her ears and scream, but everyone around her was frightened to the point their faces turned pale.
“How terrifying!!!”
"This Chang Yunxiao, is he a pervert!?"
"Oh my god, he wouldn't... have killed anyone, right?"
"I've long felt that he had a problem. How can a normal person not talk all day and be happier to see a dead person than a living one?"
Zhu Qingyan was so frightened that his legs went limp. He heard Xue Mei beside him asking tremblingly:
"They... dragged the body into our library for dissection. Where would they put it? Would they put it on the bed where we sleep?
And...how much blood would be shed..."
Just thinking about the bloody scene, Xue Mei almost collapsed.
But when he found that Zhu Qingyan beside him did not react, he suddenly felt a strong sense of admiration in his heart.
As expected of Senior Sister Qingyan, you’re not afraid of this!
His psychological quality is unmatched!
She nudged Zhu Qingyan with her elbow.
Unexpectedly, the next second, Zhu Qingyan's eyes rolled back and he fainted on the spot.
In the study, white sunlight shines in through the window paper, and a faint dust can be seen floating in the air.
Chang Yunxiao used a piece of white cloth as a mask to cover his mouth and nose, and had improvised tools such as tweezers, silver needles, scissors, hooks, etc. at hand.
He held a small sharp knife in his hand and the body in front of him, and he felt like he was back at the workbench in the forensic laboratory.
Not to mention how kind it is.
Chang Yunxiao closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Well, it would be more comfortable if there was some formalin smell.
He took out another piece of white cloth and handed it to Zhong Maoqing.
Zhong Maoqing took out the white cloth, puzzled for a moment, and then covered his mouth and nose like Chang Yunxiao.
Chang Yunxiao undressed the corpse, marked the bloodless body, and when he was about to operate the knife, he looked at Zhong Maoqing again.
Then he handed the knife over backwards and asked, "You go first?"
Zhong Maoqing took two steps back and shook his head like a rattle.
No, no, you come.
Chang Yunxiao tilted his head, then realized that the Dali Temple Secretary was in charge of criminal cases, but he was not a coroner after all, so he would not do this.
Zhong Maoqing forced out a slightly awkward smile.
How should I put it, he is really curious!
Anatomy!
I've only heard about it from experts before, but none of those idiots in the Dali Temple understood it, okay!
If you can barely move a knife twice, you are already a top-level coroner.
I didn't expect to meet a guy who knows anatomy when I came to the academy. Regardless of whether he really knows it or not, what if it's true?
"Do you want to step away for a while?" Chang Yunxiao reminded him kindly.
Zhong Maoqing, of course not!
What a great opportunity! He must broaden his horizons!
"Ahem." He coughed lightly to cover it up and urged, "Why are you talking so fast? Let's get started."
Chang Yunxiao originally wanted to kindly ask him if he had had breakfast, but after hearing what Zhong Maoqing said, he was too lazy to ask any more.
I picked up the washbasin from the study and placed it aside for later use.
He put on simple finger gloves made of sheep intestine and closed his eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, there was no longer a single distracting thought in my mind.
The wonderful feeling of working is back.
…
“Found it.”
Chang Yunxiao slowly raised the tweezers in his hand to his eyes, with a strand of white stuff on it.
He turned his eyes and finally found Zhong Maoqing's weak figure in the corner of the study.
He held the basin and vomited out almost all the gastric juice.
Chang Yunxiao was not at all surprised by this.
"It wasn't long between the time the deceased ate and the time he died, so most of the food in his stomach hadn't been digested yet."
He found several suspicious items from Zhao Wenyuan's stomach contents and carefully placed them on a clean white porcelain plate.
There are no chemical solutions or instruments here, so it is difficult to directly test what is wrong with the food.
Zhong Maoqing, who was exhausted from vomiting, asked if he could use a silver needle to test for poison.
Chang Yunxiao shook his head. The silver needle poison test was not a universal method. It could only detect some poisons but could not determine the type and dosage of the poison.
Moreover, silver needles can only detect poisons containing sulfur or sulfide, such as arsenic in ancient times.
And Zhao Wenyuan was obviously not poisoned by arsenic.
Now we can only use the most primitive testing method.
Zhong Maoqing held the door and walked out of the study. Censor Zhao hurriedly came up to him and asked what the result was.
He couldn't help but look into the study again, and saw that Zhao Wenyuan's body had been dressed and didn't seem to have any serious injuries, so he felt relieved.
Zhong Maoqing said that he already had a clue, but he needed to catch a few mice to test for poison.
"Didn't you hear me? Go catch the mouse!" Censor Zhao said angrily to Captain Zhuang.
Captain Zhuang had a sad face. This was an academy, not a farmyard. Where could he catch mice?
"I know where the rats are!"
Qiao Youyou suddenly shouted and brought people to the door of the warehouse where the library’s supplies were stored.
"This... this is a warehouse, how could there be rats..."
As Supervisor Xu spoke, he secretly glanced at Ouyang Ye's expression.
"Open the door." Ouyang Ye said in a deep voice.
Supervisor Xu had no choice but to take out the key, the door was pushed open, and a musty smell hit him in the face.
“Squeak—”
A big rat jumped out of the warehouse, causing screams.
Seeing the situation in the warehouse, Ouyang Ye immediately understood what was going on.
Longchang Academy is not short of money, and the supplies provided to students are of good quality. In addition, special funds are allocated every month for warehouse supply maintenance.
With so much money spent, it’s maintained like this?
But now is not the time to settle the score. Ouyang Ye gave a cold look to Supervisor Xu, who lowered his head guiltily, not daring to argue.
The detectives found tools and quickly caught the three mice.
Chang Yunxiao took out a little bit of each substance he found in Zhao Wenyuan's stomach, fed it to three mice, and then put them in a cage to observe.
The three mice were running around in the cage, squeaking and screaming.
But after a while, one of them obviously slowed down its movements, and its limbs seemed to become increasingly stiff.
"Look, that mouse, that mouse doesn't seem to be moving!"
