Chapter 1575 Simple and Crude Method
There was a brown-topped carriage parked outside the alley, and Zhong Ziyu was the first to jump on it with his hands on his hands.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Wei standing still outside the car.
He frowned and emphasized once more: "There is only one hour. If we don't hurry up, it will be too late."
Liu Wei seemed to hesitate and turned back to look at Yue Shansheng and Rong Leng who were coming together.
Rong Leng stopped when he was about ten meters away from them. Yue Shansheng continued to come over and walked to Liu Wei. He looked up and glared at Zhong Ziyu on the carriage with hidden anger: "Why are you crazy?"
Zhong Ziyu didn't look at him with a cold face, and urged Liu Wei: "Hurry!"
Liu Wei got on the carriage immediately. Yue Shansheng wanted to stop him, but Zhong Ziyu raised his whip without warning. The dust kicked up by the wheels hit Yue Shansheng in the face.
Yue Shansheng clenched her fists, looked back and saw Rong Leng still standing in the distance, and couldn't help but asked in a tense voice: "Are you just watching?"
Rong Leng darkened his eyes, turned around, and walked in another direction.
Yue Shansheng caught up with her eyebrows furrowed. When she wanted to ask again, Rong Leng took the lead and said, "Go to Meng's house."
…
"You're late, there's only three-quarters of an hour left, hurry up." Outside the back door of the Criminal Department, Wei Chou threw the key in his hand to Zhong Ziyu, and after making sure that no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "I'm keeping watch outside. Hurry up!"
Zhong Ziyu nodded to him, grabbed Liu Wei's hand, and walked quickly.
Along the way from the back door to the cellar of the inner office, Liu Wei saw many sleepy guards scattered about.
She understood what was going on. Wei Chou drugged the person and temporarily knocked him down. Using this simple and crude method, he won the opportunity for an early autopsy for her.
In fact, when Yue Shansheng rejected her request, this thought also flashed in her mind. However, because she did not understand the personnel position within the Ministry of Punishment, she was worried that doing this temporarily would alert the snake.
After all, she really didn't want to alarm the top officials of the Criminal Department and cause unintended consequences during tomorrow's interrogation.
Just as he was thinking about it, Zhong Ziyu took Liu Wei to the ice cellar, and he used the key given by Wei Chou to open the big lock on the door and pushed Liu Wei: "I'll guard here, you go .”
Liu Wei nodded. As soon as she stepped down two steps, she felt a coldness pouring into her whole body.
Familiar, friendly, the smell of the morgue.
There was more than just Meng Qi's corpse in the ice cellar. This place was actually an ancient morgue. The Ministry of Punishment was in charge of handling major cases, and the preservation of corpses was much more professional than the temporary firewood sheds of ordinary state and county yamen.
Liu Wei walked all the way and saw the name "Meng Qi" hanging in the first place in the second row in front of the rows of wooden beds.
She opened the white cloth on the body, and inside, the body of a young man who was thin and blue, with his eyes closed, appeared in front of her.
Not daring to damage the state of the corpse, Liu Wei did not use the knife and only observed the external symptoms of the corpse.
What she needs to do now is not to confirm the main cause of Meng Qi's death, but to adopt an elimination method, giving priority to ruling out whether the body was caused by violence or poisoning.
In two days, the body was properly preserved, and many texture conditions were completely clear. There is a small palm print on Meng Qi's chest. This was done by Xiao Li. Because this is the injured area, the surrounding corpse spots are particularly obvious. They are all dark purple-red. Pressing inward from the skin can touch the organs. The hard core of the body, which preliminarily shows that the deceased has not suffered any rupture of internal organs until now.
Condition.
Liu Wei opened Meng Qi's mouth again. The tongue was dark yellow, with thick tongue coating. There was a slight wound on the tip of the tongue in the mouth. He must have bitten it when he was in pain. The wound did not heal at all. This shows that after the wound was caused, he died immediately. Therefore, the human body itself has Salivary mucosal healing has not yet exerted its due effect
, which also shows that Meng Qi's death did indeed happen suddenly, and the time of death was so short that it only lasted ten seconds or less.
Liu Wei raised Meng Qi's hand again. His fingers were black but not black, and his nails were white, indicating that he died normally and there was no poisoning.
Now it seems that death by suffocation should be accurate, but Liu Wei was still worried that he had not seen clearly, so he turned Meng Qi's body over and looked at his back.
According to eyewitness accounts, after Xiao Li slapped Meng Qi away, Meng Qi knocked over a nearby tea shed and vomited blood.
Judging from the corpse itself, Meng Qi's back did have many contusions.
There are two colors of blue and white around the wound. With a little pressure, the corpse spots are revealed, still dark purple-red.
During cardiac paralysis, the color of the body spots is close to this, which once again deepened Liu Wei's suspicion that the cause of Meng Qi's death was sudden cardiovascular death.
Because she couldn't operate, Liu Wei couldn't explore further, so she moved Meng Qi back and forth, confirming his genitals again and again. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, put his clothes back on, and covered him with white cloth again.
"Dong dong."
There were two knocks on the door.
The small wooden door creaked open. Under the dark night sky outside the door, Zhong Ziyu's face was a little blurry: "Have you finished reading?"
Liu Wei nodded and glanced at the sky. It was already close to three quarters of an hour.
Zhong Ziyu quickly locked the door with his hands and feet, and took Liu Wei away from the original route. When passing an arch, he put the bunch of keys into the belt of the guard leader.
Wei Chou, who was outside the door, was already waiting impatiently. Seeing them coming out, she hurriedly jumped into the carriage driven by Zhong Ziyu and told them to hurry up.
As soon as Liu Wei got on the car, she heard the patrol guard shouting from the Penal Department Yamen: "There is an assassin! Block the front and rear doors, and inform the Minister immediately!"
A large number of guards were stunned, and it was natural to find that someone had sneaked in. However, because the ice cellar was restored to its original condition, and the lock on the ice cellar door showed no signs of damage, no one would suspect it even if someone was found. place.
Tonight, the guards of the Criminal Department on duty will focus on checking whether there is any damage in the study room, investigation room, and even the Ximen dungeon, but they will not focus their main attention on suspecting Meng Qi, who is safe and sound.
Wei Chou took a deep breath. It wasn't until the carriage drove two blocks away that he complained: "I told you that my medicine is accurate, and it can't be delayed even a minute. If it's half a stick of incense later, you say we can't do it." Have you all fallen in?"
He said this to Zhong Ziyu, complaining that Zhong Ziyu had not picked the right time and brought Liu Wei out earlier.
Liu Wei rarely excused Zhong Ziyu: "I'm worried because I've been watching for too long."
Wei Chou said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. I've caught up. It's too late."
Zhong Ziyu glanced at the bastard named Wei, then turned to ask Liu Wei: "Did you see clearly? Are you okay?" Liu Wei nodded hesitantly, but was still uneasy: "The chest was not opened, and the internal organs were intact, but I am not sure. It's not really complete, and after Xiao Li pushed him over, he knocked over the tea shed, and the tables, chairs and benches were not light. Meng Qi also had a thick and yellow tongue coating, a weak body and a weak stomach. His physical fitness was not good. If that collision happened, He really had some kind of bump. Even if I insist that the impact was not the direct cause of death, I am afraid that the Ministry of Punishment will not let go."
