Chapter 281 Autopsy
This news made Lu Zhiran's heart sink.
They were in danger just to attract fire. If anything happened, both she and Xiao Yanci would be to blame.
The most urgent thing is to send someone to find out the news immediately.
If I’m alive, I must see people; if I’m dead... I can’t die!
She immediately signaled the secret guard to go and inform Xiao Yanci and let him make the arrangements.
Sun Muzhi saw her worry and took the initiative to comfort her.
"General Ge is an exceptional martial artist, and Miss Ye is also proficient in martial arts. They will definitely be fine."
Lu Zhiran nodded, hoping so.
She quickly brought the conversation back to the topic, "You dug up the grave just to get to the bottom of this?"
Jiang Nansheng nodded. "When I heard someone was possessed by an evil spirit, I rushed over immediately to try to diagnose their pulse, but they were being held captive by the soldiers, leaving me no chance. Watching them from afar, I felt their condition was suspicious. I desperately wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
She also knew that digging up human graves was not a good idea, but she decided to take the risk anyway.
If she made a mistake, she would return and make generous offerings to that person as apology.
But they didn't expect that when they were halfway through digging the grave, so many twists and turns would arise, and they would meet their old friends one after another.
Lu Zhiran made a quick decision. "Dig! Not only do you find this matter strange, I find it very suspicious too. Zhao Shuning is an old acquaintance of mine. She's very good at using those insidious tactics. I want to see if she was involved in this incident."
The secret guards who had been hiding appeared one after another and began to help dig the grave.
No one had ever thought that one day they would be doing such a job.
The small earthen grave was quickly dug up. The deceased had just been buried and there was no strange smell on his body, but he was a dead person after all, so Lu Zhiran avoided looking at him.
Jiang Nansheng, however, showed no sign of surprise at all. Her aura completely changed at that moment. Her eyes were calm and her expression was focused.
At this moment, she had already blocked out everything around her.
Lin Zheng stood beside her, ready to protect her at all times.
Jiang Nansheng examined the deceased's face and eyeballs, looked closely at his fingers, then undressed him and checked his chest and abdomen.
The deceased was a male, but in the eyes of the doctor, there was no distinction between men and women, only the difference between the dead and the living.
The livor mortis on the deceased's body was already very obvious. She pressed her hand gently on his abdomen, but unexpectedly, the muscle bounced back quickly.
He has been dead for a long time, and it is impossible for his skin to still be so elastic. This is very strange.
Jiang Nansheng pressed it several times in a row, and it was the same every time.
She placed her hand on it and listened intently.
After a while, she withdrew her hand and said something shocking, "I want to dissect the body."
Everyone was shocked by these words, and Sun Muzhi's expression froze for a moment.
He looked at Jiang Nansheng with an indescribable expression.
Is this person really a woman? How could she remain calm in front of a corpse and even talk about dissecting it?
But if she was Jiang Nansheng, everything seemed to make sense.
She has lived as a man for more than ten years, and she is also a doctor. I really shouldn't look at her as an ordinary woman.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Lu Zhiran immediately asked people to prepare more torches and the tools needed for dissection.
Again, since she would do that, she must have a reason for doing so. All I have to do is cooperate, no need to say anything more.
Jiang Nansheng didn't know if she had ever done something like this before. At this moment, she was extremely calm and not afraid at all.
On the contrary, I can't wait.
She really wanted to know what secrets were hidden behind this corpse.
Soon, everything was ready. Jiang Nansheng bowed reverently to the corpse, apologized for his offense, and then took action.
Lu Zhiran had her back to them, but perhaps because it was too quiet around her, she thought she heard the sound of a knife cutting flesh, and soon smelled a strange odor.
The smell was that of blood, but more pungent than blood, and extremely disgusting.
Even Sun Muzhi couldn't help but frown when he saw the scene of the belly being ripped open.
But Jiang Nansheng remained calm and didn't even frown at the strange smell.
Seeing this, Sun Muzhi felt a bit of respect for her.
The Jiang family's little miracle doctor is not just a name.
What she possesses is not only innate talent, but also heartfelt love and persistence, and hard work that is many times harder than others.
Lin Zheng looked at Jiang Nansheng quietly.
What she was doing with her hands was clearly bloody and dirty, but in Lin Zheng's eyes, her whole body seemed to be glowing.
The person in front of him is just an ordinary citizen. In the eyes of those nobles, if he dies, he dies. Who would care?
But she cares.
In order to find out the truth about his death, she was not afraid of dirt or stench. How many doctors in the world could be like her?
Lin Zheng was a speck of dust in the mud, having been abused while growing up. Originally, there was no possibility of any intersection between the two of them. It was she who pulled him back from the brink of death when she had only her last breath left.
From then on, there was a ray of light in Lin Zheng's heart, and the source of that light was Jiang Nansheng.
Just as he was lost in thought, Jiang Nansheng let out a sound of surprise.
“Found it!”
Lin Zheng came back to his senses and immediately looked at her hand.
Lu Zhiran also subconsciously turned around, and was instantly shocked by the bloody scene, which made her stomach churn. Jiang Nansheng's hands were covered in blood, and he was holding a wriggling black insect in his hands.
Someone among the secret guards exclaimed, "It's a poisonous insect!"
The secret guard was from southern Yunnan. There were great witches in southern Yunnan who raised Gu, but it was banned by the imperial court in recent years. However, there were still great witches who raised them secretly.
He had seen it with his own eyes, and the poisonous insect was exactly the same as this insect.
When everyone heard the word "parasite", their faces changed.
Lu Zhiran's expression changed several times, looking extremely ugly.
Zhao Shuning actually used witchcraft!
Where did she learn this?
How dare she use such a sinister method?
"Bring me a container."
A secret guard took out a small transparent porcelain bottle and threw it over. Lin Zheng caught it, and Jiang Nansheng put the little bug into the porcelain bottle.
Jiang Nansheng tidied up the body of the deceased, and everyone buried him again, and the grave was restored to its original state.
After doing all this, Jiang Nansheng finally spoke.
"I was a little unsure at first, but now I'm certain it's a poisonous insect. The symptoms they call being possessed by evil spirits are probably caused by poisonous insects."
Jiang Nansheng couldn't remember the people and events he had met in the past, but he remembered the medical books and notes he had read clearly.
She felt extremely fortunate for this. At least, she did not become a truly disabled person. This was God's mercy to her.
When she first saw the symptoms of those possessed by evil spirits, her first reaction was to think of witchcraft.
