The confrontation between the two sides seemed to last a long time, but judging from the specific details, apart from exchanging information about the Heavenly Palace with Zhong Kui, Zhang San did not waste any time.

It can even be said that Zhong Kui was the main force in this ghost eradication incident, and Zhang San, who had always been in favor of combat, became a slacker instead.

Because he has been promoted to a natural disaster, the Flying Thunder God, which originally consumed a lot of energy, has gradually changed from a killer move to a magical skill for traveling, especially in short-distance attacks. Its effect is far greater than Dean Dai's curse.

As long as there is no cross-kilometer transfer as before, considering Zhang San's current Qi storage speed, it is not a burden.

With the help of space skills, before Zhao Zhen organized the Taiping Guards to evacuate the onlookers, Zhang San's figure appeared on Fushou Bridge again.

Sun Shan was the trusted magistrate of Taiping County. Although his power was greatly reduced by Zhang San, the frequent transfers of Taiping Guards could not be hidden from his eyes.

He had just crawled out from the documents and didn't even have time to ask what had happened. Zhang San, who had just appeared, took Zhao Zhen straight back to Taipingwei.

As a thorn in Master Yan's hand, Sun Shan knew very well why Zhang San was so unwilling to give him face.

In fact, before coming to Taiping County, he had indeed heard from Mr. Yan that Mr. Zhang was very difficult to get along with and that one needed to be mentally prepared to work with him.

Even though Sun Shan had built a complete defense line before coming, no matter how gentle he tried, he could not feel the trust of Mr. Zhang because of the thorn between them.

But even though he complained, thinking about the canal case and Mr. Yan's instructions, Sun Shan could only wave his chubby hands and follow closely.

…

"How's the investigation into the cause of death going?"

While Zhang San was skillfully turning over the bodies in the morgue, he asked Song Ruoxuan beside him, "To be honest, even in modern times, there are only a handful of women working in forensic medicine, let alone the best."

In this ancient social system where ethical standards were more stringent, Zhang San actually admired the woman in front of him, which was why he had said before that Zhao Zhen had good taste.

After experiencing the previous incident of the ghost plague in the General's Tomb, Song Ruoxuan has now restrained herself. Especially when facing Zhang San, she feels an inexplicable admiration for him.

"In reply to your question, after my preliminary autopsy, I have confirmed that the cause of death of the six bodies that appeared after the 15th of this month was not drowning, but poisoning. As for the specific source of the poison, it is still under investigation.

However, what can be confirmed is that the source of the drug is definitely not arsenic, but is somewhat similar to snake venom and spider toxins. "

Considering the forensic conditions in ancient times, being able to achieve this was already considered quite good. Moreover, just these few simple sentences were only possible based on Song Ruoxuan's solid basic skills.

Neurotoxin, this coincides with Zhang San's previous inference, but what puzzles him is that in addition to the signs of death from poisoning, the corpses in front of him also give him a different kind of awkwardness.

"The fifteenth?"

Sun Shan: "If I remember correctly, Wang Baobao was exterminated on this day."

Perhaps because of his awkward identity, when he heard this familiar time point, Sun Shan on the side couldn't help but show his presence.

What "if"? Considering that he was a newly-appointed scholar and a Confucian scholar, how could he not remember the time? But in the face of such a situation, if he didn't pretend, wouldn't he be unworthy of his character with a feather fan and a turban?

No matter from which angle you look at it, the opponent's performance is impeccable. However, what makes Sun Shan feel helpless is that Zhang San's problems are obviously more than that.

"What about the specific identity of the deceased? Any progress in this regard?"

Zhao Zhen: "Your Excellency, we posted the notice as soon as the body was fished out, so we can say that we have made rapid progress, but..."

"???"

"Sir, although the genders, ages, and occupations of these six bodies are different, after our investigation, their identities are more or less related to the Wu family. Do you think this involves any personal grudges?"

Zhao Zhen had never heard of Zhang San and Gu Xuanyan's analysis, so it was normal for him to make such an inference. However, Zhang San, who was well aware of the situation behind the scenes, would never think it was so simple.

Without paying attention to Zhao Zhen's inference, after carefully looking at the six bodies, Zhang San turned to another question.

"The bodies from the fifteenth day and later are here. What about the ones from the last month? What do their autopsy reports say?"

Because of the chaos of yin and yang and the rampant ghost plague today, in order to prevent the corpse from turning into a corpse, even if the Jingyesi cannot find the family of the deceased, in line with the idea of ​​burying the body in peace, they will bury the body on the spot after the first seven days.

This system did reduce the frequency of ghost plagues, but to another extent, it also invisibly increased the workload of coroners.

Although Song Ruoxuan had just taken over as a coroner, because of her father, she knew the Taiping Guard as well as the old hand Yuan Ergou. Therefore, after just a little thought, the contents that had been sealed in the files once again emerged in her mind.

“In terms of the number of bodies with this special cause of death within a month, the two are similar. However, unlike the identity investigation in the past fifteen days, the Taiping Guards were unable to find out the specific identities of the five bodies before they were buried. It felt like they were refugees.

Because the other party was also stripped naked and thrown into the canal just like this time, so I can remember it so clearly. "

The girl's professionalism is indeed good, and the clues she provided are also well-founded. But if that were all, then all of Zhang San's previous expectations would probably be in vain.

Just when he was secretly worrying about this, Song Ruoxuan seemed to remember something else. She closed her eyes and tapped her forehead. A clear look not only cleared up all her doubts, but also brought Zhang San a different surprise.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Unlike the dead after the 15th, most of the dead before that suffered from 'rock disease'."

"Rock disease?" (Ancient name for cancer)

"Yes, it's rock disease. The others' symptoms are not very obvious, but there is one young woman whose symptoms of rock breast are very obvious. My father was also very embarrassed when he performed the autopsy."

As if he had heard something extremely gentlemanly, just as Song Ruoxuan was about to interrupt him, Zhang San's originally unbridled laughter suddenly stopped.

Just now, he finally understood what was wrong with the corpse in front of him.

Unlike breast cancer, which has obvious physical characteristics, the characteristics of leukemia are much more hidden, especially after being soaked in river water. Even Zhang San almost ignored this.

"Let's go, Wu Mansion."
