Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"Sir, we suspect that this man did not die from falling on a rock." Gu Yue showed half of his head from behind Gu Xu.

The coroner said, "I also compared the wound on the back of his head. The shape is the same as the stone you provided."

"I once heard from a knight who liked to travel around that people who died from falling on their heads and those who died from being hit on the head would have different marks in their heads." Gu Yue lied first, and then began to explain the concept of concussion injury.

"For those who died from a blow to the head, their head remained still, so there was only a wound where they were hit." Gu Yue said, "And for those whose heads fell, their heads fell down very quickly. At the moment of falling, the skull stopped, but the brain inside did not stop..."

The coroner listened carefully.

"The brain will hit the skull in the opposite position, causing some bleeding or damage." Gu Yue said.

He then smiled and explained, "I'm not a coroner either, I just heard of this folk legend. Why don't you help us check and see if there is any bleeding on the opposite side of his forehead, that is, on the inside of his forehead?"

The coroner's assistant frowned. "This is unheard of. My lord, an autopsy is not a storytelling exercise."

The coroner raised his hand to stop him: "What he said makes some sense. Let's open the skull and take a look."

The assistant stopped talking and walked over to help.

Gu Yue quickly hid behind Gu Xu.

There was a sound of sawing bones, a creaking sound, and Gu Yue felt cold all over.

After a while, the coroner replied: "There is no damage to the brain on the opposite side of the wound."

"Not at all?" Gu Yue poked his head out again, "He lived for a while before he died. Is it possible that the bleeding was absorbed?"

"It doesn't look like it has any injuries. Why don't you come and take a look in person?" the coroner said with a smile.

"No, no, I absolutely trust your judgment." Gu Yue refused again and again.

The assistant said, "What the gentleman said may not be true. We still cannot conclude that this person was beaten to death. After all, it is just a rumor that came from nowhere."

The coroner said, "I think it makes sense. However, such things can only be confirmed with examples. If we encounter such a case in the future, we can verify it."

The assistant nodded his head.

Gu Yue didn't care about that. He didn't care about scientific conviction. It was difficult to judge based on the body alone, but combined with the various traces at the scene, the truth of the matter had surfaced.

All he wanted was someone to help him open Yin Bai's skull to see what caused his death.

Hey, isn’t this the knowledge I learned from reading crime novels that is now useful?

Gu Yue's heart was filled with joy.

Because of interest or some knowledge learned unintentionally, it may become the key to solving the problem at some point in the future!

Isn’t it for this moment that people keep learning and exploring?

He pulled Gu Xu: "Let's go."

Gu Xu was confused: "What about the autopsy?"

"I've already gotten the answer I wanted. The result here is no longer important." Gu Yue's eyes flashed with a light that Gu Xu couldn't understand: "We have more important things to do."

Gu Xu looked at him for a while and smiled: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

……

Before the beginning of winter, the Ganzhou incident was settled and the prince returned to Luoyang with his troops.

The internal affairs of the Western Di had just been brought under the jurisdiction of the Right King, and there were many things to do, so naturally they could not spare any manpower to disturb Ganzhou again. Moreover, Tuertan received the favor of the crown prince and sent envoys and gifts to show his sincerity.

The Jing army, the Donglin Guards and the prince returned together, escorting twelve Ganzhou rebel generals, a group of witnesses in the gold mine case, and many carts of gold and silver into Luoyang city.

The people from Baoshun Pharmacy were also secretly sent to the capital under Wumen's surveillance, waiting to be closed in.

Outside Luoyang City.

Zhou Xiuyu and Zhao Gui got off the carriage, knelt on the ground with gratitude, and thanked Gu Xu and Gu Yue for their kindness.

Gu Yue quickly picked him up.

"No need to thank me. The main reason is that we are not sure whether there are still remnants of the party near Ganzhou. We are afraid that something will happen to you, so we decided this way." Gu Yue said with a smile, "Since you are willing to develop in another place, then I will go with the flow."

"My Lord, you gave me money and a carriage. I feel really bad about it." Zhao Gui started crying again. "Wow... My husband and I are lucky to have met you two noble people in this life..."

"Stop crying, let's go." Gu Yue thought that this carriage belonged to Baoshun Pharmacy, and he was just borrowing flowers to offer gifts to Buddha, "We have to hurry into the city."

"Sir, let's say goodbye now." Zhou Xiuyu also had tears in her eyes and bowed again, "May you have a smooth life and get what you want..."

The couple got on the carriage and left along the official road.

Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

I feel embarrassed when people thank me all the time.

He turned to Feilan who was sticking her head out of another carriage and said, "You can't leave now. You have to tell the emperor about your situation. You can definitely get rid of your citizenship. We will try to get your family out for you."

Feilan's face was excited: "Thank you, sir!"

Mrs. Zhou from the Lu family was also in the team. She came along with them, and after the truth was revealed, she knew that this was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the family, but she still did not choose to divorce Master Lu.

She can run away, but her children can't, so they might as well follow and see if there's anything that can work.

Instead, she sent away all the concubines in the house who could be dispersed, and she did not try to persuade the remaining few who insisted on staying with her.

Several other wealthy businessmen and their families all had their own choices, but the master in charge, Qin Zhaoyue, was ruthless and arrested them all.

There were nearly a hundred people involved, and Qin Zhaoyue arrested them all. Including the Hidden Dragon Guards and Chang'an Guards brought by Qin Zhaohong, they were safely brought into Luoyang.

In the Jinluan Palace.

The emperor remained silent for a long time after listening to the eunuch reading the memorial submitted by Qin Zhaoyue.

The entire hall was in complete silence.

After listening to this memorial, Mu You breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Zhaoyue really had no actual evidence to prove that these things were related to his Mu family, so he could only hint at the culprit in his memorial.

The emperor glanced at him lightly.

Mu You's back was covered in sweat, but his expression did not change at all. He couldn't let anything slip.

The emperor asked, "Has Gu Xu been brought here?"

Gu Xu took a step forward and knelt down to greet him: "I am Gu Xu, the humble servant, and I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The emperor's gaze was fixed on his face.

Gu Yue and Gu Xu did not follow the original plan after all.

It was originally planned that Gu Yue would be the one to take the credit, and Gu Xu would be hidden behind the scenes to prevent his identity as the descendant of King Shen from causing any changes. But Gu Yue was repeatedly targeted, and Gu Xu was unwilling to let Gu Yue be the first to take the credit.

He would rather reveal his identity immediately.

Therefore, only Gu Xu was present at this court meeting.

The emperor took a long time to ask: "Who are your parents?"

Gu Xu's eyelids drooped as he answered, "I was separated from my parents when I was young and suffered some injuries, so I don't remember who my parents are."

On the other side, the old tutor Su, who had retired long ago, was already in tears.

He went to court again after several years just for this man who was suspected to be his grandson.
