Borrowing Yuejian's strength to get out of the bamboo forest, and sitting back in the wheelchair, before Chen Chaoyan had time to rest, Mrs. Zhou, who had been waiting outside the bamboo forest, immediately stepped forward and asked earnestly, "Miss Chen, did you find any clues?"

Chen Chaoyan didn't answer and asked instead: "Master Zhou should have told Madam about the autopsy, I wonder if Madam would agree?"

The tears that Madam Zhou had just stopped poured out again, "Miss Chen, did you find the clue that my husband was murdered?"

Chen Chaoyan said truthfully: "No."

"That……"

"The autopsy may not be able to find it." Chen Chaoyan still said truthfully, "Although I haven't seen the body yet, judging from the search in the study, there is still a high possibility that your husband committed suicide. So whether to do an autopsy or not? You have to think clearly."

"My husband will not commit suicide!" Mrs. Zhou said firmly.

Chen Chaoyan neither vetoed nor supported it.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help clenching her handkerchief in disappointment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Dissection! No matter whether I can find any evidence in the end, I will trust Miss Chen!"

After Chen Chaoyan was silent for a moment, she nodded in agreement.

The body is in the mortuary of the sheriff's mansion.

After asking Wang Da to continue to arrange people to guard the study, Chen Chaoyan left Zhou's house and went back to the Sheriff's Mansion.

On the carriage, Yuejian asked curiously: "Did Miss Chen really not find any evidence?"

After thinking about it, Chen Chaoyan said, "It is true that no evidence has been found, but there is one doubtful point."

Yue Jian immediately asked: "What doubt?"

Chen Chaoyan said: "The study is too clean."

Yue Jian couldn't understand.

"Corpse convulsions are a process in which muscles harden, contract, and quickly migrate to become stiff at the moment of death. But you said in the morning that Zhou Zhongcai stabbed himself in the heart with a dagger. That's true. When Zhou Zhongcai committed suicide, You must stab the dagger into your heart without hesitation. With such strength and speed, there should be blood spurting out, but there is nothing on the desk." Chen Chaoyan frowned slightly and said, " I thought he was murdered and moved to the desk from elsewhere, but I checked the tea table and bamboo couch, and there was nothing on the tea table and bamboo couch."

"And the window frame and bamboo forest are also clean. Originally, adding the traces of no one to turn over the outer wall, we can further eliminate the traces of homicide, but it can fly..."

Yue Jian said: "Then Zhou Zhongcai really committed suicide?"

Chen Chaoyan shook his head, "Not necessarily, but what's going on, we have to see the corpse to be sure."

Xie Xuan said sharply: "Miss Chen suspects that the Zhou family committed the crime?"

After Chen Chaoyan glanced at him unexpectedly, she nodded and said, "I have some thoughts about this."

Yuejian was surprised: "So just now Miss Chen asked Mrs. Zhou if she wanted an autopsy, was she testing her?"

Chen Chaoyan smiled and said 'hmm'.

In modern times, when criminal investigation suspects homicide, whether the family members are willing or not, the police have the right to dissect the corpse.Of course, if the results of the autopsy prove that the suspicion is wrong, complaints from family members will definitely be indispensable.

In ancient times, it shouldn't be so troublesome.

The reason why he still insisted on asking Mrs. Zhou's wishes was to rule out the possibility of her committing the crime.

The mortuary is next to the North Prison.

When Chen Chaoyan arrived at the North Prison, the official of the Sheriff's Mansion was already waiting at the door.

The assistant of the prefect's mansion is a thin old man over half a hundred years old, surnamed Sun.Perhaps it was because of Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao's presence, but he was extremely polite to Chen Chaoyan.Chen Chaoyan didn't hold her back either, and followed old man Sun into the mortuary after returning the gift according to the ancient etiquette.

Dissecting suits, masks, gloves, etc., are definitely not available.

Fortunately, the mortuary is quite spacious and bright.

Besides, Zhou Zhongcai died only last night, and the smell of the corpse is not too obvious.

However, seeing Xie Xuan who was still following her step by step, Chen Chaoyan kindly reminded him in return for his help just now: "There is nothing interesting about dissecting the corpse. Why don't you go back to Muyuantang to rest, and wait for me to dissect the corpse?" When you're done, go over and report the results to you?"

Xie Xuan glanced at her, "Instead of worrying about whether I'm afraid or not, Ms. Chen should act faster, so don't waste lunch time."

Fine.

It's hard to persuade a goddamn ghost.

If he wants to see it, let's see it.

Zhou Zhongcai's body was placed on a wooden platform by the window.

Because of the convulsions of the corpse, the corpse still maintained the movement and sitting posture of staring wide-eyed and stabbing the chest with the dagger in the right hand.

sitting posture...

The wooden platform was half a person's height, Chen Chaoyan endured the pain in his knee and supported Yue Jian's hand to stand up, subconsciously touching the handkerchief.After feeling free, she looked at Yue Jian: "Lend me two handkerchiefs."

Waiting for Yue Jian to take out the handkerchief, Chen Chaoyan wrapped her hand with the handkerchief, supported Zhou Zhongcai's arm, and said to old man Sun: "Uncle Sun, please help me lift the corpse up."

"I'm coming!" Lingyou handed the jug and the deed to Chonglou, imitating her appearance, wrapped his hand with a handkerchief, grabbed Zhou Zhongcai's other arm, and lifted Zhou Zhongcai up with a gentle force stand up.

Judging by his posture, it is true that he 'suicide' on the chair in front of the desk.

Lay the body back on the plank.

After Chen Chaoyan relieved the pain in his knees caused by exerting force, he looked back at the corpse again.

Zhou Zhongcai was wearing a single shirt, trousers and shoes and socks for home use.But the front of the single shirt, the bottom of the trousers and the back of the legs, including the socks and heels, were all soaked in blood.In addition, apart from the fatal wound on Zhou Zhongcai's body, there were no other wounds.

Moreover, he died in a sitting position and stabbed his heart. Most of the plaques were gathered on the lower abdomen, buttocks, back of the thighs and lower limbs, so the exposed hands, neck and face were only stiff and white...

what.

A purplish red spot on the base of Zhou Zhongcai's left ear caught Chen Chaoyan's attention.

This blotch is extremely dark in color and slightly transparent.

Chen Chaoyan didn't care about the injury on her knee any longer, she quickly walked over while supporting the wooden board, and lightly pressed it twice with her hands.It is firm in the blemishes and shows no fading changes on time.

This is not a corpse spot.

To achieve this level of corpse spots, it needs to meet the death time of more than twelve hours.

However, according to the records of the case, Zhou Zhongcai died when he arrived at Maoshi when he was ugly.Even based on the calculation of Chou Shichu's death, it has only been nine hours until now.

Moreover, Zhou Zhongcai died in a sitting position, and the corpse spot should not appear in this place anyway.

Suspicious, Chen Chaoyan lifted Zhou Zhongcai's blouse and loosened his trouser waist, and when he was about to untie his trousers to check the corpse spots, Lingyou suddenly exclaimed: "Miss Chen, what are you going to do!"

Chen Chaoyan stopped moving and looked at him.

a little.

She looked at Xie Xuan, Yue Jian, Feng Shoudao and others.

Their faces were also slightly unnaturally looking left and right, but they didn't look at her.

Chen Chaoyan withdrew her gaze, looked at the hand holding Zhou Zhongcai's trousers, and then looked at Xie Xuan and Feng Shoudao again, "If the prince and Lord Feng are embarrassed, they can avoid it."

Lingyou frightened: "Miss Chen, you..."

Chen Chaoyan turned to him and stated calmly: "I am Wu Zuo."

"But, he..." Ling You looked at Zhou Zhongcai, "He is a man."

Old man Sun also said: "Miss Chen wants to check what, tell me, I will do it."

Feng Shoudao glanced quickly at Xie Xuanhou, and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, Miss Chen, if there is anything she wants to check, just tell the old grandson, and you don't need to dirty your hands."

Chen Chaoyan shook his head, and quickly pulled down Zhou Zhongcai's pants.
