"Prefecture Overseer Liao and Prefecture Overseer Jiang, don't you feel that there's something wrong with this case?"
As Luo Lingwei asked this question, she took out the case file and showed it to the two of them.
The two of them took a look and saw that this was the case that caused them so much trouble. When Prefect Jiang saw that this matter had alarmed Luo Lingwei, he knew that this matter would not be resolved. Thus, he smiled wryly. "To reply esteemed wangfei, this was an official who went to investigate the case. This was the case." Prefect Jiang told her everything that he had seen and heard.
It turned out that when the Duke of Jiang had arrived at the Northern District, he had begun investigating the case. In order to prevent the possibility that someone had gone to bribe them, he had arranged for all the servants, coroners, and the like to be placed in the same courtyard.
Because Shen Xiu had died in the court, according to the rules of the yamen, corpses could not leave the scene of death, so Shen Xiu's corpse had been left in the hall. Although people had covered her with a white cloth, it was too bad that the weather was too hot, and her corpse began to slowly rot.
By the time Prefect Jiang and his men went to court, it was already difficult to identify the corpse. However, Prefect Jiang also asked Shen Lian to confirm if the corpse was his sister.
Shen Lian felt sad at this moment. After a few glances, she nodded and cried, saying that it was her little sister. After confirming that the dead body had not been found, the coroner instructed the coroner to go to the coroner's office for an autopsy.
The coroner nodded his head and took out some tools from his backpack, such as a knife, saw, scissors, and iron ruler. Then, in front of everyone in the court, he cut open the corpse's stomach and took out a dead fetus.
"Sir, this corpse is pregnant. This is the stillbirth that was taken from within. Sir, would you like to take a look?" The coroner handed the stillborn child over to Prefect Jiang.
Although he was a little frightened, Prefect Jiang still dared to take a look. When he lifted them up, he found that one of them had a vague outline of a person, and he couldn't help but spit it out.
With Prefect Jiang taking the lead, everyone in the court except for the coroner threw up.
When the coroner saw this, he removed the stillborn child. After everyone vomited for a while, they finally stopped. However, this time, the air above the court was filled with a foul stench.
"Men, clean up this court quickly." The rest of the people, go to the back garden and try again.
Prefect Jiang found a pavilion in the back garden and sat down. There were a few attendants standing beside him and the two people standing below them were Shen Lian and Huang Wen.
Prefect Jiang glanced at Shen Lian. At this moment, Shen Lian was completely at a loss of what to do. He knew that he and his sister were innocent, but why did the corpse on top of the court become the body of a woman with six armors for no reason? He had been too naive to examine the corpses carefully, but now he had fallen into their trap.
"Master, I'm innocent! My sister and I are truly innocent. The heavens have truly pitied us, and if my sister and I were really to be together, then my Shen Alliance would be willing to send down eighteen levels of hell for the purpose of striking down the heavens with five thunderbolts! "
At this time, Shen Lian already had no other choice but to swear a curse. Although these words sounded heartbroken, Prefect Jiang also knew that he could not afford to believe these words even if he swore to himself.
Prefect Jiang glanced at Shen Lian, but his eyes no longer held the respect he had before. Instead, there was a trace of contempt in them.
"You say that you and your sister are innocent, then why did you manage to take out a stillborn child from your sister's corpse?"
After a long time, he finally said to Prefect Jiang in despair, "Just now, that corpse didn't belong to my sister. I don't know why, but my sister's corpse was replaced with that corpse."
"Bastard!" Prefect Jiang slammed his hand on the table in anger. "Just now, I asked you if that corpse belonged to your sister. What did you say?" Now you want to change your mind and say that the corpse is not your sister's. Could it be that the yamen and Huang Wen want to put you to death? "
Hearing this, Huang Wen and Zhao Zhixian couldn't help but tremble, and their eyes filled with panic. Prefect Jiang did not see this, or else he would have brought the two of them to inquire.
"Reporting to the Prefecture Lord, this student is truly wronged!" That corpse is really not my sister's! "Lord, please investigate!" At this time, Shen Lian's voice was hoarse, she wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Alright, I'll give you another chance. If you do a coroner, how will you be able to determine the true identity of this corpse?" Prefect Jiang was also somewhat puzzled and suspicious at this moment, and he thought that it would be good to check it again.
"Reporting to old master, this little one has two methods that can be used. The first method is to bind a blood bond and take a drop of blood from a corpse and a drop of Old Master Shen's blood and place them in the same bowl. If the blood mixed together, it proves that the victim is Shen Xiu. The second was to examine the corpse and take a bone from the corpse. After being steamed in the cage, he would let Master Shen drip blood onto the bone. If the blood could be dipped into the bone, then it would prove that it was Shen Xiu's corpse. May I know which one the old master would like? " The coroner explained the differences between the two methods.
"The method to evaporate the bones is too complicated. I, too, have heard of the Blood Drop technique. Today, I shall use it to bind you together." Prefect Jiang thought for a moment and decided that it would be better to use a method that he understood better.
Once the coroner had received his orders, he took out a small bowl and poured a few drops of water into it. Then, he placed two drops of blood on Shen Lian and the corpse.
In order to prove that this drop of blood was not faked, the coroner had also tested Shen Lian's and his own blood. As a result, no matter how much the two drops of blood were mixed together, they were unable to fuse together.
Seeing that, Shen Lian's face turned pale, as though he was struck by lightning, his face flushed red, spitting out a mouthful of blood, before fainting and falling onto the ground.
When Prefect Jiang saw the results of the blood test and the relationship between Shen Lian and this corpse, his heart was filled with dissatisfaction. Previously when Shen Lian came to complain to him, he believed him. But now, from the looks of the autopsy, Shen Lian is indeed a rotten beast. I have misjudged him.
"Splash them awake!" At this moment, Prefect Jiang was also infuriated. He did not care about the situation with Shen Lian and instructed his subordinates to use cold water to wake him up.
"Crash!" A bucket of cold water was poured on Shen Lian's body. Only then did he slowly wake up.
"Good heavens! I'm innocent! " At this moment, Shen Lian was already on the verge of despair. He knew that no matter what he said, Prefect Jiang would no longer believe him.
"Someone come!" "Put this wicked beast in prison. I will bring the case to the Capital's Ministry of Justice and have him wait for his punishment!"
