In the main hall of Fu'an Hall, because Dali Temple has not taken over the case, Zhao Gong sat upright and Mu Huaian sat down next to the lower head to listen.
The yamen carried Yao Niang's body out of the ice cellar and placed it on the desk in the middle, and the coroner performed the autopsy.
At this time, Yao Niang was wearing plain clothes. Apart from the makeup on her face, she was still delicate and lifelike, and could not see any of Ang Lee’s appearance at the wedding.
The three coroners focused on checking the limbs and joints of Yao Niang's body. After the examination, they looked at each other, with doubts in their eyes.
"How?" Zhao Magistrate Zhao asked with a stern face and directly: "Is there someone placing a mechanism in the joints of the body?"
Among the three, the oldest coroner came forward to report: "The princess of the body has complete skin and joints, and has only been treated with anti-corrosion, and there is nothing else."
Prefect Zhao frowned.
Could it be that the Li family’s wedding banquet is really a powerful ghost?
Today's saints hate "witchcraft" and "ghosts and gods".
This case is now causing a lot of controversy in the capital. Even if it is really a terrifying ghost, it cannot be closed with it. Otherwise, the black gauze above his head will not be protected.
Zhao asked in a difficult manner: "Mu Shaoqing thinks, how should this case be handled?"
Mu Huaian stood up, walked to the body, took a clean long needle from the coroner's wooden box, and personally checked the knee joints of Yao Niang's body.
It was confirmed that what the coroner said was the truth, and he could not hide his surprise in his eyes.
Yun Jiang's silk-pulling puppet technique requires transforming the human joints into mechanisms and then controlling them with tough filaments, which can make the corpse walk like a living person.
But the joints of the corpse are intact and there is no sign of the skin being cut open.
This means that the body that was walking freely at the wedding banquet last night was not controlled by silk-pulling puppet technique.
As the young minister of Dali Temple, Mu Huaian has handled countless cases, so naturally he would not believe that there are really evil ghosts in this world.
Shen Lingxiding also had a way he didn't know to control the body.
Thinking of this, Mu Huaian became more determined to take Shen Lingxi for his own use.
He threw the long needle back into the wooden box, walked to Shen Lingxi, and said two words in a voice that only the two of them heard, "Please me."
Shen Lingxi lowered her head and took a step back silently.
The meaning of rejection is very clear.
She wanted the dog official to arrest her in prison, so how could she ask for help?
Seeing that she was unwilling to bow her head, Mu Huaian turned around and walked back, and said in a formal manner: "Although this corpse has not been tampered with, it is not ruled out that someone pretends to be a god and makes a fool of himself in the name of a corpse. Dali Temple only took over the case of Li Tanhua killing his wife, and Yao Niang's corpse fraud case was handled separately, and the government office was responsible for it. Zhao Gongfu would try it as he wanted, so there was no need to ask the official again."
In his heart, the prefect Zhao cursed "What a treacherous fox cub". It turned out that he had brought the case that was easy to be tried, leaving a hot potato left, and asked their government office to take the blame.
Since he cannot really use "ghosts to deal with" to close the case, what can he do?
For the sake of the official voice and the black saint above my head, I could only find a living person to take the blame.
This orphan in front of me who has no identity background and no relatives is the most suitable one.
He thought that this little girl had some friendship with this fox, so he came here to take this trip in person.
Now it seems that you can let go of your hands and feet.
"What Mu Shaoqing said is very true." Zhao Gong turned his head and ordered the yamen: "Catch this witch who dared to pretend to be a ghost in public and take it back to the government office for careful review!"
