Autopsies were Yun Que's specialty.
Especially demon corpses, thousands of which have been examined.
Not only autopsies were performed, but sometimes they were also dismembered and skinned and cramped.
"How can Wu Zuo not know how to do an autopsy?" Yun Que said.
Master Li nodded and said, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Yun Que glanced at the other party suspiciously and said:
"If you have any orders, sir, you might as well say so."
"Come with me to examine a corpse. If you can find some useful clues from the cause of death of the corpse, you will have meat to eat every day in the prison." Master Li said straight to the point.
"Okay, but in addition to eating meat, I also want the right to have sex every day." Yun Que bargained.
"Don't be too greedy. With your crime, today may be the only time you can leave the cell." Master Li said coldly.
It didn't matter to Yun Que that he didn't let go when he saw the other party.
It's good to have meat to eat, at least you don't have to go hungry.
After agreeing, Yun Que was taken out of the cell and followed Mr. Li to a large room where corpses were stored.
The cold air hit my face as soon as I entered the house.
In the center of the room is a large wooden platform covered with a white cloth.
There were many people standing in the room, all wearing official uniforms. They all had solemn expressions and furrowed brows, and occasionally whispered to each other.
There were three official servants in costumes discussing the autopsy results.
Seeing Master Li arrive, everyone in the room immediately became quiet and greeted him one after another.
The people in the station room were all officials from the Ministry of Punishment.
The Jin Dynasty had six ministries, namely the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry.
As one of the six ministries, the Ministry of Punishment is responsible for the administration of punishments in the world. It has great responsibilities and is divided into five divisions.
The Supervisory Department is in charge of arrest matters and hunting down escaped criminals; the Autumn Trial Department is in charge of autumn trials and court trials; the Prison Department is in charge of prisons, in charge of jailers, inspecting criminals in various prisons; and the Punishment Department is in charge of collecting stolen goods. Release stolen money and confiscated property in cases; Department of Laws and Regulations, responsible for amending laws.
The heaven and earth are under the jurisdiction of Tilao Division.
The Tilaosi is headed by Mr. Liang, the punishment officer, and has ten subordinate officials, referred to as subordinates and also called Lingshi. Except for those who are directly under Tianlao, all those present are Lingshi from the Tilaosi.
A subordinate of Lord Plow.
After Yun Que entered the room, he glanced at Commander Shi who was present.
There were about ten people in total, with different looks, old and young. Most of them frowned and looked sad. Maybe this murder case involved a lot, and they all felt unlucky.
After seeing Yun Que being brought in, these leaders took one look and looked away.
No one wants to look at a prisoner one more time.
Only Ling Shi, a young man in his twenties, made eye contact with Yun Que, and then nodded slightly.
Since the other person nodded, it was equivalent to a silent greeting, so Yun Que nodded towards him.
This young man left the deepest impression on Yun Que.
Not only was this person the only one willing to greet a prisoner like Yun Que, but another factor was his appearance.
Half of this man's face is covered with scars, and one corner of his mouth is cracked. At first glance, he looks a bit scary.
He was disfigured.
From the other half of the face, it can be seen that this person should be dignified and a handsome young man.
It's a pity that half of the face was destroyed, so that the young man could no longer be known as handsome.
Master Li nodded and asked the three men:
"There may be new clues."
The tone was cold and there was no expectation at all.
The three gangsters quickly bowed and replied.
"Reporting to my lord, I can only confirm that it was homicide for the time being."
"The murderer was killed with one sword, and his swordsmanship was fierce."
"Judging from the fact that no one found the murderer at the scene, the murderer most likely used a flying sword to kill people from a distance."
The three widows each said a word and then fell silent.
These three people are all experienced operators. After checking for a whole day and night, they found no useful clues.
After all, it was just a corpse. Apart from how it died and what the murder weapon was, there really wasn't much that could be revealed.
Lord Li had known this would be the result, and said to Yun Que:
"Come and see."
Yun Que didn't waste any time and directly opened the white cloth, revealing the body underneath.
Even though they had already seen the corpse, when Yun Que pulled away the white cloth, the people around him, Ling Shi and Na Li, subconsciously took a step back.
The body was that of a young woman, around twenty years old.
The corpse was well arranged, upright, but in two pieces.
A human head was cut off all at once!
There were a lot of ice cubes piled under the wooden platform. The body was now a little white, and the blood stains had long been frozen, like a sculpture.
Yun Que didn't look at the wound, but first looked at the corpse's clothing.
He is wearing a satin lining, the coat has been removed long ago, but the shoes are still there.
After a quick glance, Yun Que had already determined the identity of the deceased.
The corpse's hair was arranged in an extremely complicated and dignified way. This kind of hairstyle is usually beyond the reach of even ladies from wealthy families. It requires someone to take care of it, and it is definitely not a small family.
The shoes, in particular, are very exquisite, embroidered with small peonies and still using gold thread.
Standing on the Yao ladder alone, wearing gold-threaded shoes through the cold.
This pair of shoes alone costs a lot of money!
Yun Que judged that the dead woman should be someone from the palace, possibly a palace maid with a high status.
And this woman is well-educated.
Yun Que judged from the calluses on the woman's palms that the deceased was a warrior and often used swords.
As for the identity of the concubine, it is unlikely.
The concubine Bin is the emperor's woman. Even if she dies, she will not take off her coat and let a group of grown men examine her body. This is something the emperor cannot tolerate.
After seeing the identity of the corpse, Yun Que casually asked:
"The deceased, when did he die?"
When he died, it actually didn't matter to Yun Que.
But Mu Qingyao entered the palace last night and has not shown up yet. I wonder if the death of this palace lady is related to Mu Qingyao.
"One day ago." Master Li said solemnly.
Yun Que felt relieved when he learned the time.
He and Mu Qingyao entered the imperial city just last night. By then, the palace maid had already died.
Yun Que then began a careful autopsy.
First he picked up the head and played with it for a while, and then he got closer and smelled it, his nose almost touching the face of the head.
Yun Que's behavior made several adults around him frown.
Even the three gangsters stared wide-eyed.
I asked you to do an autopsy, not to play with the corpse. It seems like you still want to have a taste.
After looking at the cross section of the wound, Yun Que put the head and body together and asked:
"When the body was found, was the deceased's face up or down?"
"Face up, I can see it with my own eyes." Lord Li said solemnly.
"Come up, I've finished the test." Yun Que said with a relaxed expression: "What clues do you want to know, sir?"
Seeing that Yun Queqi was calm and calm, as if he was fully confident, Master Li immediately brightened his eyes and said:
"Is the murderer male or female? Is the murder weapon a knife or a sword? Is the murderer's cultivation level high or low? Any clues related to the murderer will be fine!"
Yun Que nodded after hearing this and took a deep breath.
Just when everyone thought he was going to talk eloquently, they heard Yun Que say:
"I don't know the gender, I don't know how to use a sword, and I don't know the level of cultivation, but I know that this woman has not yet left the court. If you don't believe me, find a matchmaker and find out."
A group of officials thought they had clues to the murderer, but at this moment they all became discouraged and glared at Yun Que.
Lord Li was stunned and said angrily:
"I don't care about the body! I just want clues about the murderer!"
"Don't worry, sir." Yun Que said with a smile: "I can't see anything else, but I can conclude that the murderer is not a human being."
"I know that the murderer is not a human! He is a cold-blooded beast! Do you know how to do an autopsy?" Mr. Li was so angry that his head was almost smoking.
Others were speechless.
They all looked at Yun Que with admiration and said to themselves that you are really smart. If we offend our immediate boss, we will definitely be punished. You, a prisoner, dare to play tricks on the executioner. From now on, don’t think about resting in the prison. Just wait and suffer. .
Yun Que explained calmly:
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I was not talking about humans, nor was I talking about curses. I was talking about the murderer being inhuman. He didn't use a knife or a sword. He used claws."
In one sentence, Master Li was suddenly startled.
Others were also stunned.
One of them retorted:
"Young man, didn't you see the wound? It's such an obvious cut surface, it's neither a knife nor a sword! The worst it could be is an axe, how could it be a claw?"
Yun Que didn't explain any more, but pointed at the head and said:
"My lord, what do you think the deceased is like now?"
Master Li and everyone else turned their attention to the corpse. A group of people looked at it for a long time and shook their heads.
"What other posture can there be? A posture of death!" said an elderly Ling Shi.
Yun Que sighed and pointed: "Look carefully, she is lowering her head."
After Yun Que finished speaking, Master Li and others finally discovered that after the head and torso of the deceased were closed, they were indeed bowing their heads slightly, but the amplitude was not large, and it was difficult to detect without paying attention.
"So what if you lower your head? What can you prove?" Master Li asked suspiciously.
"It can prove that she was not killed by anyone." Yun Que said.
The veins on Mr. Li's forehead collapsed, as if a volcano was about to erupt, and he kept getting lucky.
What Yun Que said was cloudy and foggy. Master Li was a fourth-grade criminal officer and had been in the Ministry of Punishment for many years. He was an experienced veteran, but today he couldn't understand a word he said.
"Anyone with a sword can lend it to me, and I will restore the true cause of death of the deceased." Yun Que said.
The others did not move, but the young Ling Shi, who had half his face disfigured, handed the waist knife he carried to Yun Que.
Yun Que thanked him, then suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath and slashed at Master Li's neck.
A series of actions, unexpected and lightning-fast!
Everyone around was frightened, thinking that Yun Que was going to commit murder on the spot and kill the executioner.
Master Li was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and had no time to react.
The long knife stopped suddenly and stopped firmly in front of Mr. Plow's neck.
Master Li could clearly feel the cold blade against his throat.
It doesn't take much, just cut off one more inch, and his life will be settled.
"You, what are you going to do!"
Master Li was covered in cold sweat and said anxiously: "Yun Que, don't be stupid! Your crime has changed, and it is not necessarily a capital crime! There is a word "pending trial" marked by the adults on the roster. There is something hidden in your case, but the investigation has not started yet. !”
Master Li was so frightened that he revealed all the secrets of the roster.
Yun Que was also a little surprised.
It was just to help with the autopsy, but there was an unexpected gain.
Yun Que's current state was exactly the same as when he held Master Li hostage.
The young man who lent the sword made Shi frown, and silently clenched his hands into fists. At the same time, wisps of energy unique to a warrior appeared on his arms.
Obviously this person has some cultivation and is ready to take action.
After all, it was him who lent the sword. Once Yun Que killed Master Li, he would not be able to escape the relationship and would be easily identified as Yun Que's accomplice.
At this time, Yun Que calmly said to the others: "My lords, watch carefully whether Lord Li is raising his head or lowering his head."
"Look up!"
"Yes! It's looking up, that's right!"
Several officials quickly confirmed.
No need to ask, even a blind person can see it.
Yun Que then put down the knife and handed it back to Ling Shi, who had half his face disfigured.
Lord Li was shocked and said angrily:
"Whether I raise my head or lower my head has anything to do with the murderer!"
"Of course it does matter!" Yun Que said with a smile, "Master, please listen to me explain in detail."
