I am imprisoned in Kaifeng Mansion

Today, before release, Li Cai suddenly found Han Qi, and reported Cui Tao's strange behavior in the new cell in detail with Han Qi, thinking that she might have escaped from prison.

Originally, this kind of thing only needs to be ordered to strengthen the guard, but for some reason, Han Qi wandered here, intending to see for himself.Probably because Cui Tao is too smart and treacherous to make people figure it out. He is worried that others will miss something.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the window, intending to hear what the 'strange movement' Cui Tao was making, the people in the room noticed it and knocked on the window to call him.

If ordinary people call 'Master', it is impossible for Han Qi to feel that the other party is calling him.But Cui Tao was different, she seemed to have this quirk, she would easily call him 'Master' when she was in a hurry.

"My lord, I can smell it~"

Seeing him answering for a long time, the person in the window yelled again.

Smell?No wonder she could find herself through the window.

Han Qi raised his arm and smelled his own scent——

"It stinks!"

Han Qi: "..."

"The weather is so hot, the corpse will rot faster. A corpse that rots too much is not conducive to autopsy, and it is easy to miss important clues in the case." Cui Tao continued to lobby without getting a response.

"You still know autopsy?" Han Qi looked in the direction of the window, but his eyes were out of focus.The room was pitch black, and the lights were not lit, so he didn't know where Cui Tao's figure was.

"Of course I will, and I promise to be stronger than Zhang Wenpo." The self-confidence in Cui Tao's words is naturally revealed, and it is almost impossible to question.Besides, this kind of cowhide is not something that can be blown casually. The mortuary is in the next yard, and I will meet Zhenzhang immediately.

This Cui Tao knew a lot in the first place, but if she still knows how to do autopsy now, just saying that she is a small workman, it would be to underestimate her.Could it be that she has another identity?

When Han Qi hesitated, Cui Tao spoke again in the room.

"Are you worried that my autopsy on a prisoner will not be convincing? But it is better to have an autopsy than no one. Besides, the job of autopsy on female corpses is low-level work, and there are many female relatives who wear crimes to do it. Although I am now suspected, but I have not been convicted, even if I do an inquest, I can still say it."

Since the 'crime' can hardly be covered up, why bother to cover up her talent deliberately, she still has a way to 'make amends'.As long as she is good enough to show inhuman talent.As long as she did not commit any heinous crimes in the past, it is still very possible to find a noble person to protect her because of her talents in this holy year when there are many ministers.

Although Han Qi is not the best candidate, he is currently the only candidate, so we can only reluctantly start with him.

Cui Tao, who opened up new ideas, felt that her future was vaguely bright.

Cui Tao waited for a long time but did not hear Han Qi's response. She was afraid that she would lose the opportunity to show her talent this time, so she wanted to continue lobbying Han Qi unwillingly.

Suddenly there was the sound of unlocking the door, and then the door was opened.Li Cai entered the house with a lantern, instantly illuminating the square hut.

Han Qi stood outside the door in a crescent white robe, his clothes were spotless, and the lights shone softly on his whole body.

Alas, she is also beautiful and talented, and she is sitting in jail comfortably while she is an official.If God is fair, her surname is Han Qi!

Cui Tao followed Han Qi to the next yard.

Because it was a female corpse that was being inspected, Han Qi and other male officials had to avoid it.Cui Tao asked Li Cai for soft cloth, needle and thread, and scissors, and then went into the morgue alone with a lantern.

After Cui Tao entered the room, he lit the oil lamp and looked around at the morgue. It was spacious and gloomy, and there were eight corpses parked there, all of whom were involved in the recent death.The autopsy tools were placed on a table near the window, clean and tidy. It seemed that Mrs. Zhang Wen did a lot of tidying up.

Cui Tao spread the soft cloth on the table, then pressed his hand on it, drew a rough outline with a brush, then cut it into two pieces, quickly sewed it into a pair of simple gloves, and put them on his hands.

The female corpse that needs to be examined by Cui Tao is the one near the door. The corpse is still wrapped in a straw mat, and I can't see the situation inside clearly. I can only see a lot of blood on the scattered hair, and there are obvious serious injuries on the head. .

Cui Tao slowly opened the straw mat, and placed four oil lamps close to the corpse, so that the whole corpse could be clearly illuminated.

Even the well-informed Cui Tao couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the corpse.

The female corpse was not covered with a thread, and there was almost no intact part of the body. Not only were many places beaten and turned purple, but there were 28 knife wounds on the upper body, which were almost pierced into a hornet's nest. The bleeding volume of these wounds was small. There is no obvious life reaction, all of which are caused after death.

Then the condition of the wound on the head of the deceased was checked. This was an injury during his lifetime. In the posterior thalamus, the wound was in the shape of a depression, the longest part was three inches, and there was a large amount of bleeding, which should be fatal.

Cui Tao found a piece of mung bean-sized gravel at the dried blood clot in the wound, and washed off the blood stained on it, it can be seen that the gravel is greenish in color and has a luster.

Both hands of the deceased had defensive injuries, and there was brown soil in the nails. Among them, a small piece of brownish-yellow substance was mixed in the nail of the left index finger. It was soft and curled up, smaller than a mung bean. Cui Tao wanted to spread it out with bamboo tweezers. However, the piece is too small, too soft and rotten, and it will rot when poked.It's a pity that there are no modern tools to analyze its composition and accurately determine what it is.

Cui Tao also found that the soil from the nails of the index finger and middle finger of the deceased's right hand was slightly different in color from the other nails.Cui Tao then transferred this part of the soil to white paper and wrapped it up.

Generally speaking, if a female victim dies naked, there is a high possibility that she has been sexually assaulted...

After Cui Tao checked the last step, he lit a handful of wormwood to dispel the odor in the corpse room.

The whole process took about a stick of incense.

When Cui Tao came out, Han Qi was looking at the sycamore tree in the courtyard with his hands behind his back. He didn't know if there was a phoenix on the sycamore tree or what, so he looked so seriously.

"My lord...cough, Han Tuiguan, the examination is over." Cui Tao presented the corpse list she had written to Han Qi.

Han Qi turned his head and glanced at Cui Tao first, then his eyes fixed on the list of corpses.

Such a clear lower case script!

Han Qi took the corpse list and frowned slightly after reading the contents above.

"Where is the official Han in doubt? The women can help you out." Cui Tao looked at Han Qi with bright eyes, and she was very service-oriented.

Han Qi probably knew the trauma of the female corpse, and he had no doubts about her post-mortem injuries after being stabbed 28 times in her body.He just wondered how Cui Tao judged that the murderer committed rape and violence against the victim after his death, not during his lifetime.

"Can this also be detected?" Han Qi pointed to the content on the paper because it was inconvenient to say some words to Cui Tao.

"The deceased had defensive injuries on both hands and arms, indicating that the deceased had strongly resisted before she was alive. However, there were no abrasions caused by resistance on the inside of her legs, and the lacerations were also post-mortem injuries. "

After Cui Tao finished explaining, she suddenly remembered something and asked Han Qi, "Has the identity of the deceased been confirmed?"

"The daughter of a farmer in Junyi County went to the river to wash her clothes after breakfast, then went to pick wild vegetables in the nearby mountains, and disappeared. The body was found by the official road ten miles away from the village this evening."

"Judging from the spots and rigor, the deceased died at least one day ago. In other words, she was killed not long after she disappeared. The deceased had just washed her clothes before she was alive, so the nails on her hands must be clean. If there is no blood, the murderer may have scratches from the dead!"

Even though Han Qi was smart, he didn't understand autopsy, so he was somewhat puzzled by what Cui Tao said.

Cui Tao went to get the package of nail polish, dipped a clean brush in a little water, then moistened the soil in the paper package, fiddled with a bamboo stick a few times, and the white paper under the soil was gradually dyed red. .

"Although the deceased's hands were dirty, they were not stained with blood. The bloody feces in her fingernails were probably contaminated when she scratched the murderer during her lifetime. Ordinary people only show their head, neck and hands when they wear clothes. If scratches are caused, it is very likely Most likely in these three places, it will be very conspicuous."

This is indeed a very important clue.

Han Qi couldn't help but glanced at Cui Tao approvingly.Judging from the speed and proficiency of her autopsy, she looks like an experienced veteran, and her ability is indeed not inferior to that of Zhang Wenpo.But Zhang Wenpo is nearly forty years old, and she is a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, where did she find so many corpses to give her rich experience?

Cui Tao could see that Han Qi was deepening his suspicion of her because of her ability.

Not afraid at all, because people in Kaifeng mansion always talk about evidence, as long as there is no evidence to prove that she is a demon, no matter how suspicious Han Qi is, he will not bear her.

Now she is looking for opportunities to display various talents, so that it is possible to enjoy the special treatment of "special talents" and avoid the risk of being served by dog ​​heads again.

"Is the official Han very curious about how I have so many?" Seeing Han Qi silent, Cui Tao continued, "I am also curious about how a young adult can be ranked second in high school? How many scholars have been studying for a lifetime, and their beards are gray Well, I haven't been able to win a Juren yet."

Cui Tao's words relieved Han Qi's doubts about her.In this world, there are indeed some people with superb comprehension, who are naturally more capable than ordinary people. Perhaps Cui Tao is such a special person.If so, she is a talent.In fact, there is no need to use "if" to assume, judging from her current performance, she can be sure that she is a rare talent.

The next day, the news that Guihuai Village was successfully suppressed was sent back to Kaifeng Mansion. In total, more than [-] bandits were captured during this campaign, and more than tens of thousands of money and food were seized.

This ghost locust village has been hidden in the deep mountains for many years, and the people nearby and the merchants in the past were greatly disturbed by it. Now when they heard the news, everyone clapped their hands happily and praised the imperial court for its power.

Therefore, Han Qi can be counted as meritorious service, and has his first political achievement.Bao Zheng was also praised in court that day.

After Bao Zheng returned that day, he heard from Han Qi that Cui Tao had the ability to conduct autopsies, and he couldn't help but sigh that she was a talent.

"Which talent in Kaifeng mansion can impress you two, bring it to me." After the words fell, a clear man in black robe came in.Behind him were two plain-clothed attendants who bowed their heads humbly and walked quietly, not daring to make any more noise.

When Bao Zheng and Han Qi saw him, they quickly stood up and saluted, shouting together: "Your Majesty!"
