Chapter 15: No Peace After Death



This is the opportunity I want!

Hua Yuanzhao let out a long sigh and slowly let go of Hua Yuanshan, who was almost strangled to death.

She walked forward slowly. Although she was not a forensic medicine major, she did not slack off when she was learning human anatomy. At most, she could just treat it as if she was facing a cadaver teacher!

"The deceased is a female, 4 feet 7 inches tall, with multiple contusions and abrasions on the surface of her body, but they are not fatal."

Hua Yuanzhao looked focused and her eyes were sharp. There was no panic in her movements. She was as calm as a doctor who often dealt with corpses.

"The wound on the heart is seven fen wide and deep..." Hua Yuanzhao used a straw as a ruler to estimate and said, "About an inch deep."

"The wound was vertical and there were no signs of secondary injury. It can be basically determined that the deceased did not struggle before being stabbed. It is preliminarily inferred that the deceased was unconscious or dead when he was stabbed."

"There are no spray-like blood stains around, and the amount of blood seeping out of the clothes is low. If there are no signs of human movement or cleaning of the body, it can be determined that the deceased was already dead when he was stabbed."

"And the time to draw the sword is one and a half to two and a half hours after death." After Hua Yuanzhao finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Hua Yuanshan shrinking back out of the corner of his eye, as if something in his mind had been exposed.

As she spoke, she raised her hand to untie Han Yunlan's clothes. Hua Yuanshan was already feeling guilty, so she quickly tried to stop her: "What are you doing!"

"Strip off the clothes for an autopsy." Hua Yuanzhao said as a matter of course.

Upon hearing Hua Yuanzhao's words, Hua Yuanshan immediately became anxious.

Judging from the current situation, Hua Yuanzhao does know some medical knowledge. In the current situation, if she really gets lucky and finds out the cause of death and clears herself of suspicion, wouldn't all her hard work be in vain?

Thinking of this, Hua Yuanshan cried hoarsely: "When my cousin was alive, you found someone to defame her innocence. After she died, you took off her clothes in public and defiling her body! How can you be so cruel!"

"Do you want her to have trouble resting in peace even in the underworld?" Hua Yuanshan asked harshly.

When Hua Yuanshan spoke, someone nearby echoed her.

"This Miss Hua has a vicious mind..."

"That's right, how can you compare to the kindness of the Second Miss?"

However, Hua Yuanzhao remained calm and said, "It's just a basic job for the coroner. Stripping and autopsy is for the deceased to rest in peace! If the cause of death is unknown and the real murderer is at large, the dead soul will not be able to rest in peace!"

As she spoke, she looked up at Hua Yuanshan, curled her lips, and said, "Since you are trying to stop me from investigating the cause of my cousin's death, aren't you afraid that she will come to you at night to complain about sisterly love?"

Hua Yuanshan had done a lot of bad things to Han Yunlan during the day. When she heard Hua Yuanzhao's words and looked at Han Yunlan's defeated face on the ground, she screamed in fear.

"Hua Yuanzhao, if you want to test me, just do it. Don't act like a ghost and scare others." At this time, Gu Changsu said, "I'll only give you this last chance."

Hua Yuanzhao did not hesitate and raised his hand to lift Han Yunlan's clothes.

There were horrible scars on her white body, all of which were left by the leper's torture yesterday. Many people looked away after just one glance, unable to bear to look any further.

The coroner saw her tossing the corpse and thought she had evil intentions. He said dissatisfiedly: "I have examined the body. Apart from the wound on the heart, there are no other fatal injuries!"

"I have been a coroner at the Dali Temple for more than 20 years. It is not impossible that I cannot even figure out the cause of death! Why is Miss Hua doing useless work?"

He looked at Hua Yuanzhao with contempt, thinking that she was overestimating her own abilities and acting recklessly just because she had learned a little medical skills!

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yuanzhao had already taken great pains to turn the corpse over.

The coroner was filled with resentment.

The knife is only one inch into the heart, even the gods can't save him! With such an obvious fatal wound, why are you investigating behind it?

Hua Yuanzhao started from the potentially fatal part of the head and gently pressed to search, examining extremely carefully, until her fingertips pressed on the back, when she suddenly stopped.

Hua Yuanzhao frowned and slowly moved his fingertips to the back of his heart and pressed lightly. There seemed to be hard dots in the skin under his fingers, and he felt a slight tingling pain at his fingertips when he pressed lightly.

Could this texture be like a needle tip?

Hua Yuanzhao raised his hand and looked at it carefully, only to find that the needle was extremely thin and almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.

She stretched out her hand to the coroner and said without looking up, "Scalpel, forceps!"

The coroner stood there in a daze, thinking there was something wrong with his ears.

Hua Yuanzhao frowned when he got no response, thinking that there were no scalpels in this era, so he changed the topic and asked, "Then there must be beryllium needles, right?"

The beryllium needle is one of the nine needles. The tip of the needle is shaped like a sword, with sharp edges on both sides. It can also be used for dissection.

"You, what are you doing?" The coroner's forehead was covered with sweat. He really didn't expect that this young lady who looked like a fool would know these things.

"Autopsy!" Hua Yuanzhao looked at the coroner in confusion, not understanding why he asked this question.

Everyone was horrified, their stomachs churning, and they felt that what she said was ridiculous.
