Chapter 4 Autopsy
"Don't you dare!" Mu Liuyun quickly stopped the official, fearing that the walls had ears and would cause trouble for him, "We all live in the emperor's salary, worry about the emperor, serve the court, and do things for the people!"
"A good one serves the court and does things for the people."
Just after finishing this official tone, a cold male voice came from behind. Mu Liuyun turned around and saw that there was a man there. He was about twenty years old. He was wearing an elegant plain clothes and had an autopsy cover on it.
He was just wearing plain white linen clothes, his hair was tied up with a small crown, his sword eyebrows were flying at an angle, his eyes were like deep pools, there was no expression on his face, and there seemed to be an inexplicable chilling air around him.
Mu Liuyun met the man's eyes and was a little dazed for a moment. However, he quickly came back to his senses and glanced at the black-faced evil star who was striding towards this direction. He understood in his heart, bowed his hands and said respectfully: "
I’ve met Lord Ti Xing!”
This man was none other than Yuan Mu, the Living King of Hell. Mu Liuyun recognized him at a glance. He was not surprised. He just nodded slightly and said, "Sir Mu, if you have time to show your loyalty here, why not change your clothes quickly and conduct an autopsy. I will wait for you."
I can't afford it, but the corpse can't wait much longer."
Mu Liuyun quickly said yes, Yuan Mu had already put on the linen clothes, and it seemed that they were going into the tent to watch together. He did not dare to delay, so he quickly asked the Yamen to help him get the linen clothes to cover him, and tied up his wide sleeves.
, lift up the hem of the gown and tuck it neatly around your waist.
"That's it, Mr. Yuan. I'll go check it out now." He smiled flatteringly at Yuan Mu, turned around and walked quickly towards the straw mat tent. When he reached the tent, he slowed down and called the five people next to him, "Cangzhu, Zao
Have you burned the horns to remove the smell?"
"Sir Mu, I haven't burned it yet." Wu replied honestly.
Mu Liuyun paused and stood still: "Well, then go and get some to burn. Burn more to drive away the smell of the corpse."
The five people ran away in response, and Yuan Mu had also followed him to the tent. Mu Liuyun took out a cloth scarf from his arms with great skill and put it on his face to carefully cover his mouth and nose: "I heard that Mr. Mu is in charge of Jiang
There are also some days in state prisons. Is this because of the smell of corpses or because of bad luck?"
"Don't be afraid," Mu Liuyun said while tying the cloth tightly behind his head, "I just think the rules cannot be broken."
"So, the manager is a rule-abiding person?"
Yuan Mu's question was a bit strange, and Mu Liuyun's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason. He didn't know what the Lord of Hell meant, and he didn't dare to show anything on his face. He hurriedly replied respectfully: "That's natural, that's natural.
…”
Yuan Mu nodded and said nothing. He just stood aside with his hands folded. The five men just now were honest. They used Atractylodes and Sapodilla Root as instructed. Mu Liuyun stared at the brazier in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
I wished I could blow it out as soon as possible, so I rushed into the tent and immediately started to examine the body.
It is said that being with a king is like being with a tiger. I imagine that the little ghosts who often accompany the Lord of Hell in the underworld will have a hard time. Now that I am standing in front of this "living Lord of Hell", I feel an inexplicable chill running down my spine, and I feel particularly uneasy.
Mu Liuyun always felt that when Yuan Mu looked at him, there seemed to be an inquisitive look in his eyes, which was unpredictable. However, this was only the first time the two met and they had never dealt with each other before, so this was really unreasonable.
When no one was paying attention, he secretly lowered his head and looked at his chest, which was flat and smooth as before.
Mu Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he might have thought too much.
When the contents of the brazier finally burned out, he quickly stepped forward and entered the tent.
It would be more comfortable to stay with Yuan Mu's lifeless corpse.
After entering the tent, Mu Liuyun's whole appearance changed. His expression was solemn and his eyes were focused. He waved to Donggu County Chief Bo who was waiting aside and took the autopsy grid to enter the account records. He walked around the female corpse on the ground.
Turned around first.
The female corpse was lying on her back, with a plain middle coat on her upper body. She had no shoes on her feet, only wearing stockings. The stockings were as white as new, not to mention stains and dirt, and there were not even any grass clippings or leaves on them.
, nothing unusual can be seen around.
"Has this body been moved before?" Mu Liuyun asked the officer on the side while watching carefully.
"Sir, I have never moved." The officer replied cautiously, lowering his head and not daring to look at the decapitated female corpse.
"That's easy to handle," Mu Liuyun looked happy, took lime from the side, spread it carefully around the female corpse, and said, "Call two men to come in and put the corpse on a straw mat.
Wrap it up and move it with the tent to the west a foot away for me!"
The yamen officials were puzzled. Usually when they saw corpses undergoing autopsies, the corpses were always parked in the same place, let alone moved, even if they were touched by accident. However, Mr. Mu from the yamen in this prefecture had not even touched the deceased, so he called for someone to do so.
Moving is something that has never happened before.
He didn't dare to move rashly. He felt that Manager Mu looked a little unreliable, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape the blame when he was later held accountable by his superiors. He quickly looked at Yuan Mu, who was standing silently with his hands behind his back.
Yuan Mu nodded slightly, acquiescing.
With his consent, the Yamen official felt confident and ran out to call a few soldiers to come in and move the tent and the woman's body to the west as Mu Liuyun ordered.
Mu Liuyun didn't waste any time. He rummaged through the box containing tools and objects on the side. Soon he found a jar of strong wine and a jar of vinegar. He picked up a small jar with one hand and returned it neatly to the place where the body was laid.
He poured vinegar and wine on the ground in turn, then squatted aside and stared intently at the land that had been drenched with vinegar and wine.
Seeing him like this, other people stretched their necks and curiously looked at the place where the lime powder was circled and where wine and vinegar had been sprinkled. However, they looked around and couldn't see any clues. They couldn't see anything different from the surroundings.
place.
After about a cup of tea, Mu Liuyun stood up again, turned around and got into the tent ten feet away to the west.
Yuan Mu also came to the place circled by lime, watched carefully for a moment, and then looked up at Scarface and another person standing by: "Yuan Jia and Yuan Yi, come in with me."
After saying that, he followed Mu Liuyun into the tent.
The Scarface who went to invite Mu Liuyun earlier was named Yuan Jia. He was Yuan Mu's bodyguard. He and Yuan Yi were brothers. He followed Yuan Mu when he was urinating.
"I don't understand. Why should our father care about such a little manager who is neither male nor female and as timid as a mouse!" Yuan Jia complained to his brother in a low voice, "He is the person I despise the most in my life.
Such a swaggering pretty boy!"
"Didn't you see that I asked us to follow him in? I think it is probably because he wants us to see what this Mr. Mu is capable of!" Yuan Yisui and Yuan Jia are similar in appearance, but their temperament is much gentler.
Yuan Jia snorted, full of disdain, but did not dare to disobey Yuan Mu's order, and reluctantly followed Yuan Yi into the tent.
In the tent, Mu Liuyun had already taken off all the clothes on the female corpse and had a general inspection. At this moment, he was leaning over the broken neck of the corpse and looking at it carefully, with a focused expression. Even the black-faced god who was very scared before came in.
Didn't even notice it.
"Master, record!" After looking at it for a long time, Mu Liuyun called to the master who was standing far away and did not dare to look over, "The deceased was a married woman. Except for the head, there was no trace of the rest of the body.
All hands and feet are complete.
I just poured vinegar and wine on the place where the corpse was buried. If the deceased was killed here and his head was cut off, the blood would flow out and seep into the soil. If you pour wine and vinegar on it, blood will emerge from the ground in a short time.
.
However, I had just spilled my wine and vinegar, and after looking for a long time, I didn't see any change on the ground. It could be seen that the deceased was killed, his head was cut off, and his body was abandoned in the forest.
Look at the many blue spots on the body of the deceased, which are as green as bruises. This is a precursor to the decay of the body. The appearance of such blue spots can be concluded that the deceased was killed less than three days ago.
What was the cause of death... No fatal injuries were found. It was probably poisoned. The poison used was rather cruel and it only takes a short time to kill. The head was cut off after the body had cooled and the blood had coagulated.
came down.
The severed heads were hidden or discarded separately, and the robes worn by the deceased were also stripped off, all in order to conceal the identity of the deceased and prevent the government from identifying the deceased."
Mu Liuyun squatted next to the headless corpse, and continued to examine, while whispering to himself: "Is it possible that this dead woman is the wife and concubine of a wealthy family in our Taiping County? But recently I have not heard of any family missing something like this.
