Chapter 7 Taihe Academy
Although Qin Wanyue patted her chest and guaranteed that she would keep her word, the clerk and Su Yan did not dare to really believe her.
If something happens, County Magistrate Qin will not do anything to his precious daughter.
The clerk found a constable and ordered him to report to the county magistrate immediately, while Su Yan continued to perform the autopsy.
Although Qin Wanyue was not well-educated, she was a girl after all. She could not bear to see the naked male corpse, so she found an excuse to slip away.
Chu Feng did not follow.
He looked at the busy Su Yan and said softly, "If you are tired, take a rest first. If an autopsy is really necessary, it may take some time."
Chu Feng's voice was as gentle and soft as always.
Su Yan did not respond as usual, but took out the scalpel he made and prepared for the autopsy.
Seeing this, Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "Are you angry with me? I... I actually admire you very much, you should know that, but I have my own difficulties, please understand my difficulties."
Su Yan put down several knives of different sizes, and smiled when he looked at Chu Feng, as if they were still close friends who understood each other and had never had any estrangement. "What happened? How could I be angry with you? Get out quickly. If the county magistrate allows an autopsy, it might make you uncomfortable."
Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
For some reason, he was always worried that Su Yan would misunderstand him, and he didn't want that to happen.
Chu Feng said: "Okay, if you need my help, call me as soon as possible."
Chu Feng turned around and left after giving instructions. When he was about to leave the door, he suddenly heard Su Yan's voice - "It's okay. Everyone has this dream of marrying into a wealthy family."
Chu Feng: “…”
A wealthy family refers to a rich family? But since it's about getting married, it shouldn't have anything to do with him, right?
Chu Feng frowned and left with trepidation in his heart.
Qin Wanyue was taken to the guest room for entertaining distinguished guests to drink tea. The tea was boiling hot. Qin Wanyue was most afraid of heat, so she didn't care about the rising steam when she picked up the cup to drink the tea.
Chu Feng hurriedly snatched the white porcelain teacup and said, "Let it cool down before drinking."
Qin Wanyue looked solemn.
Chu Feng was worried that Qin Wanyue and Su Yan would have a quarrel, so he said, "Actually, Miss Su didn't mean to offend you. She just spoke her mind a little too quickly. She..."
Before she finished speaking, Qin Wanyue slammed the table and stood up, "No, I have to go and see how she does the autopsy! Who knows, maybe I'm better than her!"
Chu Feng: “?”
Isn't it time to be jealous of him?
Due to the seriousness of the case, with the support of Cheng Wenshan, the county magistrate allowed an autopsy.
Su Yan picked out a handy scalpel, and moved the blade down along the center of the chest and abdomen, drawing a straight line.
Her technique is so skillful that even the experienced coroners who have worked in the government office for many years are not as good as hers.
Even the clerks admired this.
This was especially true for Qin Wanyue who was peeking through the crack in the window.
She watched in horror as Su Yan fiddled with the corpse, as if to Su Yan, the corpse was a lamb to be slaughtered in the hands of a butcher.
Especially at the moment when the scalpel pierced the chest, Qin Wanyue's scalp went numb, as if she was the one being dissected.
...What a scary woman!
Su Yan learned the skill of dissecting corpses when he was in school in later life. The more common order of dissection is abdomen, pelvis, neck, thoracic cavity, and cranial cavity.
The deceased had no head, so the autopsy would be faster.
Su Yan slashed with the knife in one smooth motion. When he saw the victim's internal organs, his eyelids didn't even twitch. He was even able to take them out and examine them carefully.
The clerk had seen autopsies before, but he still felt nauseous every time he saw them. Fortunately, Su Yan remained calm.
An hour later, the clerk made the final note and breathed a sigh of relief, "Little Su, are you relieved now? The deceased has no other injuries."
Not only that, there were no abnormalities in other parts.
Su Yan took out a handkerchief, which contained the debris she had taken from the corpse. She used bamboo tweezers to pick up a tiny piece of stone and said, "Look, this is what I found from the deceased's blue shirt."
The clerk was puzzled, "What is this?"
"There's a lot of gravel."
"What does this prove?"
"Not only the gravel, I also found a bloody hair," Su Yan said, "I'm afraid the murderer's method of killing people is to work on the head."
At this point, the clerk finally understood, "You mean, he was killed by someone using stones?" "In addition to the stone fragments, I also found some broken bones. The deceased was probably hit on the head and his head was cut off after death. In this case, the real crime scene is more likely to be in the mountains." Su Yan said, "Without the head, many clues are difficult to find out. Is the murderer's cutting off of the deceased's head related to the cause of death? Although these are not clear yet, I think if we search the back mountain, there may be clues."
It was the detective's job to investigate clues. Su Yan was busy for the whole afternoon, and it was already dark when he left the morgue.
The moonlight was clear and bright, and big red lanterns were lit in front of the shops on the street.
Su Yan found a relatively busy stall and ordered a bowl of wonton noodles.
She was very hungry and didn't care much about her image, so she just focused on eating.
After drinking the hot soup, his stomach felt better. When there were only two wontons left, Su Yan heard some movement at the table next to him.
She tilted her head and saw three men just sitting down around a square table.
All three were dressed in black. Two of them were wearing the same uniform and had long hair tied up high. They seemed to be guards.
The man in the center has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight back, and a dark black crown on his head. His clothes are also more luxurious, with auspicious clouds embroidered with gold thread on his sleeves and hems.
What was different was that he was wearing a strange black mask that covered the upper half of his face. You could faintly see the patterns on the mask, but you had to look closely to see anything. However, the eyes under the mask were frightening, and you didn't dare to look him in the eye. Even his thin lips looked a little cold.
Su Yan took a glance and felt that he looked familiar.
However, one could tell at a glance that he was either rich or noble. Su Yan didn't recognize people of noble status. She muttered in her heart -
"As expected, good-looking people make people feel friendly."
"I really have an eye for beauty."
"It would be nice if I could take off the mask and take a look."
"Forget it, saving your life is more important."
Su Yan saw that they were not good people, so she quickly swallowed the last few wontons. She stood up, smiled and handed a few copper coins to the vendor, without looking at the uninvited guests, and left quickly.
After Su Yan's figure went far away, the guard lowered his voice and said, "The superiors have instructed that this time we must completely eradicate Cheng Wenshan, this cancer. Cheng Wenshan has been staying in the academy for many years. Should we take action tonight?"
The man did not respond. His eyes followed Su Yan's receding figure and he said in a low and cold voice, "I seemed to hear some strange noises just now."
"The sound? There are only a few of us here, what do you mean?"
"Forget it," the man retracted his gaze. Compared with the cold aura emanating from his body, his eyes were somewhat empty. He said nonchalantly, "Taihe Academy, no one will be left alive."
