Chang Yiyan nodded.
He dragged his heavy body up from the ground, wiped a handful of tears, lifted his feet out of the mourning hall, stopped suddenly, and said to Ji Yunshu.
"Brother Ji, my father was most afraid of getting dirty before he died. I want him to be buried neatly, so don't get his clothes dirty?"
The implication is, you can don't dissect my father!
Otherwise, my father won't let you go!
Ji Yunshu nodded affirmatively.
After Chang Yiyan left, Ji Yunshu also started to get down to business.
Go to the coffin and look inside.
Inside, Mr. Chang's face was white and blue, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheekbones were raised, and the corners of his lips were also concave. He had obviously been dead for several days. Fortunately, it had been raining in the past few days, and the surrounding area of the body was also full of light. Sprinkled saponin powder and atractylodes, so the smell of corpse is not serious.
"Are there gloves?"
Butler Chang hurriedly ordered someone to take a pair of gloves for her, and immediately brought a chair to the side.
Respectfully, he said to Jingrong, "Your Highness, why don't you just sit down, I'll order someone to make a pot of tea over here."
Bubble tea
In the mourning hall
Jing Rong curled his lips, sat on the chair, and said, "I don't need tea anymore."
This king doesn't like drinking tea in the mourning hall.
unlucky!
Butler Chang twitched the corners of his mouth, stepped aside, and stopped talking.
Jing Rong's eyes were fixed on Ji Yunshu without blinking.
Watching this little scholar solve a case has always been the most enjoyable place for him.
interesting!
Ji Yunshu put on gloves, put his hand into the coffin, and gently smashed Mr. Chang's head, revealing the streak on his neck. The imprint left by the hemp rope was clearly visible. Traces, nothing else.
Immediately, she opened Master Chang's mouth again, with her tongue pressed down and the tip of her tongue turned upward, her hands curled inward and her feet straight. All the evidence showed that she was hanged.
Is it—
Really suicide
Three people committed suicide together
It can't be said!
Could it be a wrongful death
No, where in this world is there any wrongdoing.
Fang Mingsan stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Ji, how is it? Did you find out anything?"
"It is true that the deceased committed suicide."
"Then... That is, there is no murderer?"
Ji Yunshu frowned, "Not necessarily."
"How to say?"
"If the deceased chose to commit suicide, why did he struggle so hard when he made the choice? His hands were curled up to a great extent, and his eyes were wide and his face full of hideousness when he died?"
Everyone looked at her eagerly, wanting to continue listening.
Ji Yunshu didn't say everything, but asked the housekeeper Chang, "Is the clothes that Mr. Chang wore when he died?"
"exist."
"Please bring it."
"Is there anything unusual about the clothes?"
"Let's take a look first. There is no substantive evidence, so it's hard to say."
Butler Chang said "Oh", and immediately asked someone to bring the clothes.
The clothes of the rich are different. The high-quality brocade robes are also very embroidered. Even the pair of boots are the same, which are comparable to the pair of boots under Jing Rong's feet.
Ji Yunshu checked the clothes carefully, and suddenly noticed a stain on the cuff, touched it, put it to his mouth and smelled it, but couldn't detect what it was.
The next moment, she noticed the shoes again, because it was raining heavily the night Mr. Chang committed suicide, and the soles of the shoes were muddy.
So, this is normal too!
But there is one thing...
The style of the shoes made her feel very strange. The soles were not flat, and the center of the soles was not flat or touching the ground. It was a concave piece.
then-
She took the shoes and compared them with the dead.
His eyes suddenly darkened, and he silently took off his shoes!
As soon as she took it away, she glanced at a tattoo on the ankle of the deceased.
The style of the tattoo is very unique, it is a moon, next to the moon, is an "X" shape.
It is not uncommon for Ji Yunshu to have tattoos on the body of large families, but such a style makes people curious.
He asked Steward Chang, "Why does your master tattoo such a pattern on his body?"
The housekeeper returned, "I don't know."
Ji Yunshu didn't ask anymore, "I'm sorry, the body has been examined, can it be buried tomorrow morning?"
Fang Mingsan heard it and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ji, did you find anything?"
She didn't say a word, and let people take Mr. Chang's clothes and shoes to the yamen.
If there is a murder case, and it is difficult to check the body, how can I bring back the clothes and shoes of the dead person
what does it mean
On the way back to the county government mansion, Ji Yunshu kept thinking deeply.
Jing Rong reached out and touched her, "Tell me, I found some evidence, I have to go back to tell."
Ji Yunshu stared at him.
"Others don't know what you're thinking, this king knows, tell me, is there something wrong with that dress and shoes?"
"Well, there is a big problem. I think Master Chang didn't commit suicide."
"How can you see it?"
"Back to the yamen, I will say it myself."
…
After half an hour, he returned to the yamen.
Ji Yunshu threw the clothes he brought back to Mo Ruo, and said, "I don't know what the marks on the cuffs of this clothes are, and I have to trouble you."
Moruo picked up the small bamboo stick and picked out the clothes, and said with a look of disgust, "Do you really think I am a know-it-all?"
"I believe you have a way."
"Okay, for the sake of your trust in me, I'll check it out for you."
Throw the clothes on the table next to you.
Fang Mingsan and the others looked at it with a dazed expression!
Ji Yunshu then said to him, "Master Fang, if the evidence found below is correct, then Master Chang was not killed by a ghost at all, nor did he commit suicide. It is very likely that he killed him."
Yep
Wen Lingyang quickly took out a pen and paper and asked, "What evidence does Mr. Ji have?"
Ji Yunshu said, "If a person commits suicide, even if he struggles violently before death, his hands are curled up, but at the same time as he struggles, and the feeling of suffocation in the throat is getting stronger and stronger, the person's eyeballs either turn up or down. ."
"That's not right, I have seen it, Master Chang's eyes are enlarged and he is staring straight ahead." Wen Lingyang was puzzled.
"This is the suspicious point. Unless the person who hanged himself saw something before he died, and the image he saw must have made him very scared, so the eyeballs would look straight ahead and show a focused state, and the degree and strength of the curling of Mr. Chang's fingers It's too big, these are enough to prove that he did see something when he was hanged."
Fang Ming pondered, "If that's the case, what did he see?"
"murderer!"
"Murderer? What did Mr. Chang see before he died? This... "
How is this possible
Jing Rong and Moruo sat on the side, silent.
But Fang Mingsan and the others did not understand.
Several asked, "Mr. Ji, if it is really the murderer, then why?"
