Chapter II

Xu Chu looked at him, her heart suddenly shivered, her gaze extremely sharp. As for that person's handsome appearance and eyes that were as cold as the winter night, they did not attract too much attention from her. It had nothing to do with him. In her eyes, it might not even be as attractive as those fifty silver taels.

"The deceased, Qian Zhang, 20 years old, female, 6 feet 2 inches tall." Xu Chu's eyes were heavy as he meticulously examined the body of the Young Lady Qian. After that, he touched the top of her head, which had hair at the temples and behind her ears.

"No damage to the chest …" Xu Chu's gaze followed the direction of her gaze and landed on Young Lady Qian's chest and abdomen, and after a while she neatly checked her lower body, "There are no signs of a marriage or invasion."

As she spoke her words, everyone's expression became more and more complicated, especially when looking at Xu Chu, it was as if they were looking at a monster.

Then, just as the man was about to stop writing, Xu Chu started to use a pair of tweezers to check the location of Young Lady Qian's nails and mouth. Her eyes were calm and cautious, her expression was solemn and she had never shown the slightest detail. With his skillful techniques, and the results of the examination, he was not much weaker than the old coroner Lord, who had been working on it for decades.

This caused the strange man to be slightly surprised.

'Unidentified silk fibers sewn on my fingernails … ' Xu Chu paused for a rare moment, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, she carefully turned the Young Lady Qian over. The calm expression in his eyes suddenly changed. He bent down and approached the corpse to carefully examine it.

"What's wrong with that?" Unknowingly, the strange man behind her had already walked shoulder to shoulder with her.

"There is an obvious pale mark on the corpse." Xu Chu frowned, "There are white indentations on the back, the surrounding corpse spots are lighter … It could have been a result of the suppression or violence of the deceased. "

As soon as he said that, the Qian Family's Young Master Qian's expression changed, not to mention the man's reaction. Even if she was in a daze, her trembling body showed her unease and sadness. As for the old master of the Zhang family, he frowned even more, gritted his teeth and asked the coroner beside him: "Zhao Zhaozhong, back then you solemnly swore that my daughter died from an emergency."

Originally, Zhao Zhaozhong was still calm and composed, but as Xu Chu's actions fell, his expression changed slightly as his eyes filled with disbelief. Although he had heard that the woman in front of him had helped coronation solve a few cases, those were all hearsay. It was already hilarious for a woman to perform an autopsy, so there was no need to bring up any goddesses.

But now, he started sweating profusely and no longer suspected that Xu Chu was just someone who was looking for fame. After all, which girl in a normal family would look at a corpse as if it was a flower? He hated how he couldn't see every hair on his body clearly.

When he thought about his carelessness during the autopsy, his heart couldn't help but thump loudly. When Xu Chu told him the exact hour of death, his heart started to become anxious. After all, not everyone in the Qian Family had the ability to get close to someone. Not to mention, there were quite a few maids and wives by the Young Lady's side. If there really was a danger, how could it not attract people's attention?

The Zhao Zhaozhong did not dare to be careless, the disrespect and disdain from before was gradually replaced by worry, and he, himself, kept his eyes firmly on Xu Chu's every move.

But no matter how many thoughts he had in his mind, he was stunned by the sudden turn of events, especially when asked by the Master Zhang, he became even more flustered, "What imprint is it, how come I don't know about it? Could it be that you want to confuse us by spreading rumors and causing trouble? "

Xu Chu glanced at Zhao Zhaozhong along the way, and spoke with a clear and cold gaze: "Prison matters are more important than the grand opening, the grand opening is more important than the initial love, and the preliminary love is more important than the examination. It was a matter of life and death. It was a matter of life and death. What kind of serious business was an autopsy, and how could it create trouble? When Zhao Zhaozhong first examined the corpse, he only saw that there were no injuries on the body, so he decided that it was a sudden death. Do you know how to apply vinegar? Do you know how to reheat white plum cake? "You are familiar with this method, and you can even read a few of it in the script. Since you have neither tried it nor investigated it, how can you say that you have examined it meticulously?"

"I don't know how you found out about the sudden death of an emergency, but you do know that life is in danger. If not for the pressure marks on the corpses three days later, how would you know that this was a grievance?"

"Who said that you can only look at the corpses' spots at the hour of death?" The lady glanced at Zhao Zhaozhong sideways, she did not want to waste any more time with him. However, when they thought about how most of the coroner s went through the exhumation examination, and how many of the storyteller s had once said that coroner s were "mistakenly wounded, inverted in disorder, all of them flabbergasted when they saw a serious case that was opened for inspection", they couldn't help but hold their hands when they thought about it. At this rate, even if the coroner were upright and upright, it would still be hard to avoid a false conclusion. Thinking to this point, she slightly shook her head and continued.

"The middle finger of the middle finger was pinched in the middle of the afternoon. The palm of the ugly end of Chenxu was released. When the hand of the dead was clenched, it was at the exact moment of death." Xu Chu took off the glove on her hand, only to see her raising Young Lady Qian's arm without saying a word. The corpse was already green and lifeless. Compared to the slender white finger that held her, it was extremely bizarre. Only, Xu Chu herself did not care at all, she only focused on pressing down on the palm of the corpse, and said, "This method is the easiest to determine. If the joints are already soft, you may also see the corneal spots. "

Zhao Zhaozhong was first taught a lesson by a junior and a woman, and had long been extremely embarrassed. He wanted to retort, but he found out that the person had every single word, even more so speaking of ancient autopsy books, he could not find a single reason to retort.

Xu Chu also stopped looking at the Zhao Zhaozhong whose face was flushed red. With a complicated expression, she turned her head to the young master Qian and asked, "What was the young madam doing at that time? Who served you? " Because of his livelihood, Xu Chu did not treat people coldly, but in front of people like the Zhao Zhaozhong, who muddled their way through life, his words would become sharper because of the two lives' habit of practicing medicine. At this moment, since they were going to investigate the case, they naturally wouldn't say anything stiff, so they were a bit more polite.

"It was Ying Er, the servant that served by Ya Niang's side. Seeing that the manor is in a mess, I let the servants press her down in the woodshed. If the lady wants to see her, I'll get someone to bring her here."

Since Xu Chu was invited by the Zhang Family, although she was not a bailiff, the Qian Family did not dare to underestimate him. Especially because Master Zhang was glaring at him like a tiger eyeing its prey, he did not dare to act presumptuously.

So naturally, it was natural for Ying Er to see it, but after seeing how Ying Er looked, Xu Chu could not help but be startled. Other than Ying Er's sorry state of being tied up by all sorts of treasures, and the red and swollen scars on her face, her appearance was actually somewhat similar to Young Lady Qian's. However, thinking about how heartless men were these days, especially the servant girls, they would always be bullied by the male masters at home at any time. If Ying Er really had a sister relationship with the Young Lady Qian, then it was nothing special.

You are the servant that served the young mistress, Ying Er? From the Zhang Family? "

"This servant is Ying Er, I have served Young Madam ever since I was young." Ying Er was terrified, but at the same time, she felt as if she was being tormented by grievances. Seeing that Xu Chu was not about to kill her, she couldn't help but sob.

"Usually, this servant follows the young madam and serves her well. Only that day, the young madam said she was upset and told me to go to the kitchen to get a bowl of bird's nest porridge." This servant thought that it would take some time to get the bird's nest porridge, so she went to look for Auntie Xun at the back door to have a few drinks. By the time this servant returned, the young mistress had already gone out to buy rouge. " Ying Er cried, "After that, Young Mistress has been resting in her room ever since, and just past noon, I had to trouble Zhang mama to help me take care of Young Mistress because I am not feeling well. Later on, this servant became better and asked the mama if she knew that the young mistress was still resting and did not disturb her. It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that I entered the house worried and looked around, only to discover that the young mistress … "Young madam has already …"

After he finished speaking, Ying Er started sobbing.

Young Master Qian, who was outside of the screen, spoke up wearily, "Afterwards, I sent someone to take care of Ying Er. I asked back and forth, but could not find any other words to say. After reporting it to the officials, the county magistrate had also sent people to ask about the rouge shop, and the shopkeeper had confirmed that Ya Niang had indeed been there. "
