I, Dayan of the senior department, never dies

Lu Huaide let out a long sigh, his face full of self-blame.

"Lord Lu..."

Kelsey glanced at the three servants following him, and said softly:

"Please take a step to speak."

After finishing speaking, Kelsey turned and walked into the mourning hall.Lu Huaide glared at the three who wanted to follow, and then followed Kelsey.

"Master Lu."

Kelsey bowed to him and said:

"I and Gu Zhixian were good friends at the same time. In front of Mr. Lu, I have a merciless request."

"You speak."

Seeing his promise, Kelsey said:

"I know a little bit about coffin-examination skills, and I would like to ask Boss Lu to help me."

"Oh! You want to... open the coffin for an autopsy?"

Lu Huaide pointed to the coffin, his eyes shining brightly.

"Exactly."

"Oh, this is something outside the rules."

Lu Huaide pondered for a moment, and said loudly:

"it is good!"

"Since Mr. Kelsey is a former friend of Guzhi County, then this old man makes an exception!"

He patted his chest and spoke decisively:

"What's the matter, the old man will take care of it alone!"

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

Kelsey got the promise, and turned to the coffin.

As Kelsey's pace approached, the fat man and the thin man ran all the way to the opposite of Kelsey, staring at her closely.

"Ugh……"

As soon as Kelsey's fingertips touched the coffin, the two raised their arms and pressed the coffin lid.

"...What? I want to take a look at my friend's remains, can't I?"

Kelsey's words left them speechless.

"Uh... Mr. Kay misunderstood."

The fat man immediately argued:

"Just because Gu Zhixian died in the fire, and his remains are horrible, it's better not to look at them."

"Hey, yes, yes, it's better not to look at it."

"presumptuous!"

Lu Huaide yelled, and he raised his finger to Kelsey.

"Mr. Kalshi came here from thousands of miles to see the face of his old friend. Isn't it human nature? Why did you stop him?"

Lu Huaide waved his sleeves and stared at the two with his hands behind his back:

"Could it be that you have tampered with the corpse?"

"No, no, no! The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare!"

Where did the two dare to say more, they quickly waved their hands to defend.

The Master Volper on the side shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and said loudly:

"Open the coffin!"

Back to 26 Dialectical

The black-painted coffin lid was lifted and removed by four police officers, revealing the charred carbon corpse that had long been humanoid.

Kelsey leaned close to the coffin, resting her right arm on it, reaching out her left hand to touch the corpse.

The flesh shrunken by the heat and heat of the fire felt awful to the touch, like touching toad skin that had been dried out in the sun.

The emerald eyes moved down slowly, and her fingertips also groped down from the top of the corpse's head, and then she pinched a little carbon ash at the mouth of the corpse.

Lu Huaide and the Master Volper approached here one after the other. Both of them had serious faces, and they looked at Kelsey with different eyes.

"..."

Lynx raised her head slightly and raised her hand.Rubbing with the fingertips, the carbon ash turned into extremely dry particles of dust and scattered into the coffin again.Seeing this, Lynx couldn't help frowning her thin eyebrows.

Seeing this, Lu Huaide asked:

"Any surprises?"

"...Master Lu, thank you very much."

Kelsey shook her head, flicking away the ashes left on her fingertips.

"There was no accident, he died in a fire."

"..."

Hearing this, the fat and thin people looked at each other, and they both saw their relieved look in each other's eyes.

Kelsey glanced at the ashes in the coffin again, then walked away from the mourning hall.

Master Volper wanted to say something to Lu Huaide, but Lu Huaide ignored him and followed him directly.

"Tsk... cover the coffin!"

Walper had no choice but to give up resentfully, and ordered the arresters to restore the coffin quickly, and hurriedly chased the two men by himself.

"Mr. Kay please."

The boy in the county government led Kelsey and the others to a wing of the county government.

"I have something to say to Mr. Kelsey, you go down first."

Bai Zhi gave Lynx a quick look, and then pulled Pei Jue and Master Volper out of the house.

"Mr. Kelsey, please."

After entering the room, Lu Huaide pushed everyone away, and then entertained Kelsey to take a seat.

"Thank you, my lord."

Kelsey did not hesitate, and after thanking Lu Huaide, she chose a chair and sat down.

"Mr. Kelsey. Is it true that you can't find anything famous from the charred corpse in Guzhi County?"

After Lu Huaide sat down, he asked Kelsey suspiciously.

"Lord Lu...what do you mean by that?"

Kelsey also responded with questions.

"Is there no doubt in that charred corpse?"

Lu Huaide asked, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"When Gu Zhixian took office, it was already late when he walked through the suburbs, so he stayed in a post station on the outskirts of the city, and wanted to take office the next day, which made sense."

"But this inn didn't catch fire in the early morning and late in the evening, but in the middle of the night when Guzhi County stayed at the inn, this fire burned a large living person to death."

"Is this really an accidental fire?"

Lu Huaide's face was full of disbelief.

"Lord Lu."

Kelsey said:

"I'm just here to mourn the souls of my old friends. As for where the fire started, I don't dare to speak in vain, let alone comment."

Hearing this, Lu Huaide turned slightly to look outside the house, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping, he turned to Kelsey again.

"The old man will tell you the truth."

"The old man will never believe that it was an accidental fire."

"The death of Gu Zhixian was murdered and then set on fire to destroy the body!"

Lu Huaide's eloquent words caught Kelsey's attention.

"Does Master Lu have any evidence?"

"Ugh……"

Lu Huaide shook his head and sighed.

"If the old man had a shred of evidence, he would have punished those county officials long ago."

"Mr. Kalshi doesn't look at the old man's face, but also for the sake of Gu Zhixian's colleagues at the same time as the husband, and investigate this case to the bottom. The truth will be revealed, so that the spirit in heaven in Guzhi County can have a comfort, and let the old man I have an explanation to the court."

Lu Huaide looked at Kelsey, and in his words, he entrusted all the hope of solving the case to Kelsey.

"...My lord is too serious."

Kelsey frowned slightly, and then said:

"However, from the perspective of my subordinates, Gu Zhixian really died in the fire."

Lu Huaide frowned and asked:

“How come you see?”

"Because Gu Zhixian's mouth contains soot."

Kelsey's words made Lu Huaide even more puzzled.

"Does this prove that Gu Zhixian was burned to death by the fire?"

"My lord doesn't know something."

Kelsey explained to him:

"When a living person encounters fire and is forced to fight by the fire, if his mouth is opened and the air channels flow, then the ashes will surely enter the mouth."

"If the body is cremated after death... the mouth is closed and the Qi channels are stopped, so there will be no soot entering."

Hearing Kelsey's explanation, Lu Huaide nodded slightly, as if realizing something.

"Now the mouth of Gu Zhi County is full of soot, which is enough to prove that he ran in the fire before his death."

"Mr. Kelsey is a great talent. After hearing what you said, the old man really gained a lot of insight."

Lu Huaide expressed emotion on his face, and praised Kelsey in his mouth.

"but……"

He then asked:

"Even if Gu Zhixian died in the fire, didn't someone kill and set fire to destroy the corpse, and then did it on purpose?"

"Guzhi County is an official ordered by the court. Now that he died unexpectedly, even if there is still a trace of doubt that has not been proved, the case cannot be closed hastily."

"We must get the truth out of the matter. If we don't understand, the old man will never give up!"

Seeing Lu Huaide's insistence, Kelsey nodded slightly, and then said:

"After being reminded by the boss, I really want to come."

"Can I go down to see the fire scene?"

"Hi!"

Lu Huaide slapped his leg with a look of joy on his face.

"You and the old man thought about going together!"

Kelsey's eyes moved slightly, and then she slightly arched her hands to show her approval.
