Bai Shao looked after Chen Qiyang in Liyuan, but did not go to the mortuary.

She has never seen Zhou Zhongcai's corpse before, so she has no objective empathy for Lingyou's exaggeration.

Entering the Zhaixing Tower, seeing Yuejian's busy figure, she just said "I'll take Miss Chen to Muyuantang", and pushed Chen Chaoyan away.

Xie Xuan also soaked in medicinal soup and changed his clothes.

Leaning on the table and sitting on the imperial concubine's couch, when he heard the movement at the door, his eyes moved over immediately and fell on Chen Chaoyan.

Feng Shoudao was there every time he came over.This time when I came here, seeing that Xie Xuan was the only one in the room, Chen Chaoyan said rather strangely: "Master Feng didn't come to pester you to ask you the result of the autopsy?"

Xie Xuan lazily said: "Here he is, I drove him away."

Chen Chaoyan looked at him, "Do you doubt Master Feng?"

Xie Xuan laughed and asked her back: "Why can't you be suspicious?"

"That's right. Song Yanzhong works in the county guard's mansion, and Qingxi County is a county under the jurisdiction of Luyang County. Master Feng is indeed very suspicious." Chen Chaoyan didn't argue with him on this topic.Because, the maids who filed into the house came with food.

Grilled Shrimp, Preserved Concentric, Sheepskin Filigree, Eight Immortals Plate, Five Animals Plate, Vinegar Lotus Root, Scrambled Eggs with Chives, Stir-fried Cress, Ginseng Chicken Soup, Tohuazi, Roasted Pear, Yulu Ball, Sweet Snow, Crystal Dragon and Phoenix Cake , Imperial Concubine Red, Longevity Porridge, Crystal Rice, Fruit Platter.

Chen Chaoyan counted, there are eighteen.

Although the portions are not large, there is still a full table.

It was only when she picked up the chopsticks to eat that she realized that Xie Xuan was still sitting crookedly on the imperial concubine's couch, and there was no food in front of her.

After Chen Chaoyan looked at him clearly, he ate alone.

As usual.

After she ate sweets such as Yulu Tuan and Tianxue, she began to cook bright shrimp and other dishes.

When she was eating, Xie Xuan looked at her.

Seeing her holding the chopsticks, picking up shrimp for a while, shredded sheepskin for a while, and bear meat and venison from the five animal plate for a while, all kinds of images of her cutting open the belly with a knife unconsciously flooded into her mind.

Stomach churned, Xie Xuan forcibly pressed down.

Looking at Chen Chaoyan who was eating more and more delicious, Xie Xuan couldn't help but said: "You can eat it!"

Chen Chaoyan raised the corner of her mouth slightly, glanced at him and said, "What meat is not meat?"

While speaking, he picked up a piece of concentric dried fruit and ate it into his mouth.

Xie Xuan quickly put away the jade bone landscape fan, and quickly left Muyuan Hall.

Looking at his back, Chen Chaoyan couldn't help laughing.

Bai Shao also laughed, "I've been following the young master for so many years, this is the first time I see the young master running away."

Chen Chaoyan said casually: "It's quite normal to see the autopsy for the first time."

Bai Shao withdrew her gaze and looked at her: "Miss Chen, has the corpse been dissected many times?"

Chen Chaoyan smiled and said: "Although I know you are testing me, I still want to say, yes, I have done it many times."

Counting from the time she entered the Provincial Criminal Police Force, in the past five or six years, there have been no more than one hundred autopsies, and there will be eighty.

Bai Shao did not deny that she was testing, but continued to ask: "Miss Chen is not afraid?"

"At first I was scared, and I couldn't eat." Chen Chaoyan looked at the delicious food on the table, "After seeing and dissecting a lot, I gradually got used to it."

Bai Shao asked curiously: "Why does Ms. Chen learn Wu Zuo?"

After thinking about it, Chen Chaoyan said: "Punish the evil and eradicate the evil, and uphold justice."

This is the original intention of her choice of forensic science.

Bai Shao nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Chen Chaoyan continued to eat.

After dinner.

After a short rest, Xie Xuan came back.

When he walked past her, he stopped, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Fine." Chen Chaoyan nodded with a smile, raised her head and asked him, "What about you, have you eaten?"

Xie Xuan left.

Walking to the imperial concubine's couch, she leaned against the chair and sat crookedly, skipping the topic of eating, and said directly: "Lingyou asked Mrs. Zhou about it. Last night, they were indeed eating at Xushi."

"As for the meal in the early morning, we are still inquiring, and there is no result yet."

"What about the fertile fields outside the city?" Chen Chaoyan asked.

"There are 120 mu of fertile land outside the city, all of which are recorded in the name of Zhou Zhongcai's wife and brother." Xie Xuan said leisurely while drinking strong tea, "That piece of fertile land is all first-class official land. Mu needs 120 yuan. 120 and 42 mu, converted to [-] yuan. Zhou Zhongcai is just a low-level secretary in charge of warehouses, and his monthly salary is always added up, which is only [-] yuan. This money, excluding family expenses , there is almost no money left. Not to mention, when he bought the [-] acres of fertile land, he also bought seven servants who were in their prime of life. Such servants alone in the capital cost fifteen guan .In Luyang County, it costs nearly six to eight guan. Calculated on the basis of six guan, the seven servants also need [-] guan. "

"With Zhou Zhongcai's ability, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he can't afford these things."

Two thousand 540 taels of money... Chen Chaoyan silently counted how many twenty pieces of money there were, and said sadly: "That is to say, Zhou Zhongcai's money is likely to come from a wrong source. The source of this dishonesty is Did you kill him to protect yourself?"

"I remember you agreed in the morning that corpse spasms are important evidence to distinguish suicide from homicide, and that corpse spasms cannot be faked." Xie Xuan looked at her.

"What I'm saying is, generally speaking, corpse convulsions cannot be faked artificially." Chen Chaoyan corrected, "But there are always unusual times."

Xie Xuan hooked the corner of his mouth, "Zhou Zhongcai was at that unusual time?"

Chen Chaoyan nodded, "Obviously."

Xie Xuan said with interest: "Tell me."

"As I said earlier, the scene of Zhou Zhongcai's death was very clean. Except for the fact that there was no splattered blood, there were no other suspicious points." Chen Chaoyan sat up straight, his eyes gradually became serious, "If it wasn't for the autopsy At that time, Zhou Zhongcai found a purple-red spot on the base of his ear, even if there is this doubt, it cannot prove that Zhou Zhongcai died of homicide."

Xie Xuan became more interested, "During the mortuary, you said that Zhou Zhongcai's purple-red scar on the base of his ear was a boxing injury. That is to say, punching the base of the ear can cause the corpse to convulse and fake the effect of suicide?"

Chen Chaoyan glanced at him, "Corpse convulsions mostly occur when the mind is highly stressed or the brain is damaged, and it also occurs when the medulla suffers from severe mechanical damage, such as medullary hemorrhage. Zhou Zhongcai's boxing injury at the base of the ear is exactly one of the mechanical injuries." .”

"In addition, the link between the brain stem and the medulla oblongata, which can also be referred to simply as the medulla oblongata, is in the deep cranial cavity of the root of the ear."

"The root of the ear lacks subcutaneous tissue, and the muscle and skin are extremely thin. Therefore, the root of the ear is the weakest part on the side of the head closest to the medulla oblongata."

"The medulla oblongata is the center of human life. Its main function is to regulate the activities of internal organs and maintain the heartbeat, breathing, and digestion necessary for life."

"In short, hitting the base of the ear can easily shock the base of the skull, and the shock at the base of the skull will affect the medulla oblongata. If the force is strong enough, the shock will cause hemorrhage in the medulla oblongata. Piercing Zhou Zhongcai's heart can fake the suicide scene of the corpse convulsing."

"Zhou Zhongcai's boxing injury at the root of his ear was an injury during his lifetime, which fully meets the conditions for a fake suicide."

"It's just that Zhou Zhongcai was killed on the chair in front of the book case, and there was no trace of being restrained. To meet these two conditions at the same time, the murderer needs at least two people!"

After Chen Chaoyan finished speaking slowly, she looked up at Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan also looked at her with deep eyes.
