Chapter 6363 (Revised) Cheng Mansion
Although Liang Yi assured Su Yan that her autopsy skills were superb, Yan Zheng still did not dare to hold out hope.
Let’s not talk about Su Yan, let’s just talk about Liang Yi. He is a noble prince, how could he have ever been in charge of a murder case in the capital?
In Yan Zheng's opinion, Liang Yi is also a powerful person, but he is just a powerful person with a good heart. As long as he is a powerful person, he will be a headache for him.
But Yan Zheng had to listen to Liang Yi's words.
Not to mention him, even if the Minister of Justice came, he would have to be respectful to Liang Yi.
Liang Yi has a close relationship with Liang Yu, and Liang Yu is close to Zhao Mingde. It is destined that Liang Yu will inherit the throne in the future.
Although the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty was in name only, Yan Zheng was still just an ant in front of the royal family.
Yan Zheng looked at Su Yan with a frown.
The little arms and legs look handsome, but how to perform an autopsy?
The coroner was filled with grief and anger when he saw that Yan Zheng actually agreed to Su Yan's autopsy.
He, who used a back door, actually encountered a bigger back door. What a shame!
The coroner pursed his lips, waiting to see what was happening.
Cheng Jian had already died, and his body was soaked in the river. His face was facing downwards, and the downward part had been pecked by fish. Even his back had signs of being pecked by birds. He, a grown man, didn't dare to approach, so what could a little girl like Su Yan do?
Amid everyone's distrustful gazes, Su Yan walked to the side of the corpse, not forgetting to sigh: It's great to have power, no wonder in times of troubled times, countless people emerge to want to be emperor!
With just one word from Liang Yi, she could perform an autopsy without any evidence.
The coroner looked down upon the corpse and moved towards the river bank. He wanted to see how a woman performed an autopsy.
A rotten corpse with a hideous appearance. Not to mention the thin woman, even he would feel sick at the sight of it.
Even the government officials did not dare to come near after just smelling the odor.
The smell of death is different from others. The strong smell makes people feel despair and suffocate.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Yan squatted down beside the corpse.
The body was soaked in water, face down, and when the yamen runners fished it out, they placed it face up. Half of Cheng Jian's face had been eaten by fish, the blood was washed away by the river water, and pieces of flesh hung on his face. After the river dried up, the pieces of flesh seemed to merge with his cheeks again.
The more so, the more frightening it is.
Su Yan calmly examined the body.
Yan Zheng saw Su Yan first confirm the condition of Cheng Jian's face before undressing him.
When his fingers touched the rotten meat, Su Yan did not hesitate at all. He even picked up a piece of rotten meat that had accidentally fallen, looked at it carefully, and gently sniffed its scent.
Yan Zheng: “…”
The yamen runners who saw this scene: "..."
They try to maintain the dignity of men.
Liang Yi was very proud. Look how brave the people he brought were!
It’s just…his stomach was also feeling uncomfortable, and Su Yan’s performance was really too good.
Yan Zheng watched Su Yan prepare to take off Cheng Jian's clothes, and stepped forward to stop her, saying, "Girl, I don't believe you enough, but don't do an autopsy here. The deceased is a man, and you are a woman, this..."
Men and women should not touch each other!
Su Yan understood the meaning of his words and asked back: "Captain Yan, if you meet a female doctor, you will not treat her? Or is it that if a young lady in Beijing is sick, she can only go to a female doctor to treat her? I am a coroner, I only perform autopsies, I don't have any other ideas."
These words make Yan Zheng seem very petty.
He smiled wryly and said, "Anyway, I'll have someone take the body to the morgue. You can go with them for further examination."
Su Yan decided to stop while he was ahead and had no objection.
*
The morgue in the capital is much more luxurious than that in a small county town, and the corpses are treated better.
Su Yan still used her own tools, as she was not used to the bamboo tweezers provided by Chen Shi.
Yan Zheng already understood that Su Yan really had some skills, and just because she dared to play with rotten meat, Yan Zheng wanted to kowtow to her.
For the next period of time, Yan Zheng didn't dare to disturb Su Yan.
With Liang Yi and Shi Yanli around, Yan Zheng didn't dare to give orders to the yamen runners at will. Liang Yi told the others to continue looking for clues along the river.
An hour later, Su Yan walked out of the morgue.
With Liang Yi around, Su Yan could perform an autopsy on the body openly, and even the Cheng family would not dare to raise any objections.
"Cheng Jian was brutally murdered. He had 64 cuts on his body, which were caused by sharp objects. The wounds were about three centimeters long, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, probably by a dagger. None of the 64 wounds were fatal. Cheng Jian was bled to death by the murderer. He bled to death."
Upon hearing this result, Yu Xian's expression changed drastically, "Jingrong would never do such a thing!"
Yan Zheng said: "Women are indeed less powerful."
"We can't rule out the woman as a suspect based on this," Su Yan said, "The deceased had injuries on his wrists and ankles. He had been tied up before he died."
"If it's a woman, I'm afraid she won't be able to subdue him, right? Unless she's a martial artist."
Su Yan said: "I also checked the deceased's internal organs, including the stomach. He had taken medicine before he died. Judging from the smell, it was the fluid of the mandrake flower. Perhaps it was a knockout drug? He was drugged first and then controlled. A woman can also do this. Don't forget that he went to buy a gold hairpin before he disappeared."
"I see, you are really attentive... You just said autopsy?!" Yan Zheng was horrified when he heard this. He really couldn't imagine a young woman cutting a corpse into pieces.
The coroner was also surprised and asked, "You dissected the corpse alive?!"
Su Yan said: "To be precise, it is life and death."
Wuzuo: "..."
The way he looked at Su Yan could no longer be described as horror.
It took him a long time to overcome his fear of corpses. His master had indeed taught him how to perform an autopsy, but the people of the Zhou Dynasty had always been against damaging corpses. He always liked to be lazy, thinking that it didn't matter if he didn't perform an autopsy, and he didn't put his heart into learning.
This little girl actually dared to use a knife on a corpse? !
The coroner ran out of the morgue in shame.
He doesn't dare to stay in this place anymore!
Yan Zheng was surprised for a while, then forgot about it.
The Zhou Dynasty had been in turmoil for many years, and the restrictions on women were not as strict as before.
"Do you have any suspicions?"
Su Yan said: "I think Cheng Jian might have had another woman outside. He bought her the hairpin and gave her the silver. He might have tried to find a woman to be affectionate with him but was rejected."
"What do you mean?"
"There were scratches on his body, on the front, not the back. There were also deep bite marks on his shoulder. It would have taken a lot of force to get to that extent."
Yan Zheng said: "That's strange, since she is his woman, why would you refuse?"
Su Yan didn't find it strange. It was normal not to want to have intimate behavior for a while, but this woman was not a prostitute. Who was she?
Su Yan couldn't help but ask, "Does no one in the Cheng Mansion know who he has been in contact with recently?"
"Cheng Jian...his parents are too lazy to care about him. As long as he doesn't want to marry a woman from outside, his parents have no objection."
It is also because of this that now that Cheng Jian was murdered, there is no trace of the murderer.
Right now, all we can do is ask Yan Zheng to look for witnesses or the place where the murderer committed the crime. But how easy is it to find these in such a big city like Beijing?
That night, Su Yan stayed in the inn.
Liang Yi arranged a yard for her, but it was too hasty and it had not been cleaned up yet, so she could not move in until two days later.
Su Yan didn't want to owe too many favors to others, but after all, she came to Beijing with Liang Yi, and had contacts with Yun Xing. She probably couldn't hide these from Zhao Mingde. Once Zhao Mingde became suspicious and took action against her, even ten of her would not be able to stop him.
So in the face of Liang Yi's kindness, Su Yan could only choose to accept it, as it was a guarantee of survival.
As for the money, Su Yan received a lot of benefits from Yun Xing on the way to the capital, so he did not spend as much money as expected, so he could pay Liang Yi part of the rent.
Liang Yi sent Su Yan to the inn and arranged for Feng Tu to stay and protect her.
Although Su Yan didn't know why she needed to be protected so far, she did not reject Liang Yi's kindness.
Feng Tu is a quiet guy, but he is handsome, which is good.
Su Yan insisted on paying the rent, and Liang Yi couldn't persuade her, so he had to agree and collected a symbolic part of it.
After Liang Yi left, Su Yan fell on the couch in the inn, feeling empty inside.
After finally arriving in the capital, Su Yan felt very confused.
What can she really do in the capital?
Can she find the real owner of the token and the murderer who killed her parents?
What happened back then?
