Sihan couldn't help but furrow her brows. She secretly sized Zhang Jiacheng up and down. She saw that Zhang Jiacheng lowered his eyes a little, not daring to look into her eyes. He had even purposely placed the back of his hand so she couldn't see.
"Zhang family, the yamen is doing official business, do you dare to stop us?" ZhiNing knocked away Zhang Jiacheng's arm, which was in front of Sihan, and questioned him with a cold voice.
"Can the yamen casually insult my daughter?" Zhang Jiancheng looked angrily at Zhining. He went forward to once again block Sihan with that medicine, but was stopped by Zhining.
ZhiNing turned her head and winked at Sihan, indicating that she should go and examine the corpse.
Sihan understood immediately and turned to walk towards the corpse.
Zhang Jiancheng stood on the spot, looking coldly at Sihan's back. His hands couldn't help but tightly clench into fists.
With the support of a maidservant, Madam Zhang walked up to Zhang Jiacheng's side. She used a handkerchief to amuse herself with the tears on her face, reached out to lightly tug on the corner of Zhang Jiacheng's clothes, and implored, "Master, let him examine Ling'er's corpse, as long as he can find the real murderer!"
Zhang Jiancheng pushed Mrs Zhang down to the ground with all his might, not even sparing her a glance. "Women, what do you know?"
The young maid hurried forward to help Madam Zhang up. She looked at her with concern and asked, "Madam, are you alright?"
Lady Zhang covered her torn hands and shook her head at the maidservant. "I'm fine."
By the time Sihan walked to Zhang Xiaoling's corpse, the constables had already surrounded her body with the drapes so that no one else could see her.
Sihan walked over to Zhang Xiaoling's corpse and squatted down to take off the clothes covering Zhang Xiaoling's body. "Coroner, please record everything I say." Sihan said to the coroner standing outside the tent without raising her head.
Although Cheng Guan was reluctant to do so, Sihan had already told him that he could not refuse her in front of everyone, so he had no choice but to force himself to walk back into the tent.
Sihan pulled open the dead woman's hair and looked at it carefully. Then she said, "The dead man's hair is messy, but there's no grass in it." Then she opened the dead man's eyes to take a look, "The dead man's eyes were bloodshot, there were no scars on his cheeks, no foreign objects in his mouth, and there was a deep finger mark on his neck. There was no trace of a broken throat, so the dead man was probably not strangled to death."
Sihan looked down along the neck of the dead man. "There were five or six knife wounds on the chest, the deepest of which was a knife that was inserted into the chest, close to the heart. The blade was about an inch wide and five inches long. A preliminary estimate is that the victim died with a heavy sword. "
With that, Sihan looked at the dead man's lower abdomen and frowned slightly. "There's a deep purple mark on the dead man's lower abdomen, as if it was hit by a hard object."
Sihan wondered why the killer had hit the dead man in the belly.
While feeling puzzled, she gently placed her hands on the dead body's abdomen. When Sihan's hands touched that hard object on the dead body's abdomen, she couldn't help but be taken aback, raising her head to look at Cheng Guan who was earnestly recording on the side, and slowly said, "The dead body has a hard object on its abdomen, it seems to be pregnant."
Cheng Guan looked at Sihan in surprise. He crouched down and walked to the corpse. He placed his hands on his abdomen and was stunned. He looked at Sihan in surprise, his surprised eyes showing traces of admiration.
Cheng Guan withdrew his hand and read the words that Sihan had just said on the paper.
Sihan looked down along the dead man's lower abdomen. "The legs are as smooth as ever, without any scars, the lower body is loose, and there is blood flowing out of the lower body. It is inferred that the dead man's lower abdomen was hit with a hard object before he died, which resulted in an abortion, causing his lower body to bleed."
Then Sihan raised the dead man's arm and looked at it. "There are no marks on the dead man's arm. There is a red birthmark and multiple bruises on the wrist. It must be because the murderer held her wrist tightly." Bi Sihan gently lowered the dead man's arm. When she put it down, the dead man's arm bent slightly. From the corner of her eye, Sihan saw a small wound on the dead man's elbow. She opened it up and was surprised to find a porcelain like fragment within. Sihan took out the piece of porcelain embedded in the dead man's elbow. "There was a triangular wound on the dead man's elbow."
Finally, Sihan gently turned the body over so that its back was facing her. "The back of the deceased is smooth and unscarred."
"The body of the deceased was covered in blood, but there was no blood under the corpse or on the ground near the corpse. I presume that the deceased did not die here." She covered the dead man with her clothes and stood up from the ground. Walking out of the tent.
Cheng Guan followed Sihan out of the tent. He carefully held the paper in his hand, and every word that Sihan had just said was recorded on it.
Seeing Sihan walk out of the tent, ZhiNing immediately went up to her, looking at her with a questioning look.
Sihan walked past Zhining and gave her a look. Following that, she handed over a small piece of porcelain she had been holding in her hand. Then, she walked to Lord Qi and stood still. She clasped her hands and reported respectfully to Lord Qi, "Sir, this humble one has already found out that the victim did not die here."
"Oh? Where did the dead man die? " Lord Qi asked Sihan.
Sihan thought for a moment, then replied, "This commoner deduced that the deceased died in her room."
"Impossible!" After death, he stepped forward to Sihan's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with her. "Lord, your subordinate has just gone to the dead woman's room, the room is neat and tidy. Other than the mess inside the bedding, everything else is very neat, and there are no traces of a fight at all. Subordinate had once carefully inspected the room of the deceased, but did not find anything suspicious. "
Sihan looked at the constable beside her and asked, "Is there more porcelain in Zhang Xiaoling's room?"
The constable turned his head and looked at Sihan in surprise before replying, "Yes." There are several porcelain vases in the dead man's room. "
"Then did you notice that there was a missing piece of porcelain where the porcelain bottle used to be?" Sihan looked at the constable and asked slowly.
The constable lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he shook his head. "I didn't notice that."
"Sir, Chen Zhi wants to bring a few people to search the room of the deceased to see if there's anything suspicious." ZhiNing took a few steps forward and respectfully asked in front of Lord Qi. She had to reexamine the room.
Lord Qi hesitated slightly before agreeing, "Ok, I will allow you to bring my men to the Zhang Mansion again."
"Thank you, milord." Zhining turned around and left with a few constables.
"Chen Zhi, wait a moment." Sihan called out to ZhiNing who was already mounted on her horse, and then she jogged over to ZhiNing, whispering a few words to her.
After hearing Sihan's words, ZhiNing nodded her head, then rode her horse and rushed towards the capital with a few other constables.
