Originally, it was nothing like a corpse examination. Zhang Zong was a man for two lifetimes and was not afraid of dead bodies. When he encountered a ghost killing someone last time, he curiously came forward to check it out. However, this time the corpse that Di Renjie wanted to test was a dead body that had been dead for more than a month and had been buried. In the current weather, the bodies must have been corrupted. Just thinking about it would be very sour.

But he brags so much that he wants to turn it back with tears in his eyes! Zhang Zong described the corpse spots so detailed before, as if he was really a master of autopsy. Now Di Renjie proposed to ask Zhang Zong to go for autopsy with him, which made Zhang Zong really unable to refuse. Instead, he had to make a happy look and nod in agreement.

However, before leaving, Zhang Zong asked Di Renjie and Zhou Wu to wait for a while. He went to prepare some things, then came out with a small box, and told Wan'er to look after the door at home. Then he and Di Renjie went out, and Zhou Wu had already hired a carriage.

After getting on the carriage, Zhang Zong put down the box in his hand, and then asked Di Renjie: "Di Sicheng, what case are you going to handle this time, and what is the identity of the person who died?"

When he heard Zhang Zong ask about the case, Di Renjie suddenly sighed. After a moment, he said, "I am ashamed that this case has actually been completed. It is just because of my own selfishness that I have forced the whole case to restart. The person who died was actually my friend, and he has been working in the Ministry of Revenue during his lifetime..."

As Di Renjie said that, he introduced the case to the situation of the deceased. It turned out that the dead man was named Xu Wei. He and Di Renjie were fellow villagers. They had gone to Beijing to participate in the imperial examinations and were both admitted to the Mingjing subjects. Later, although the two went to the two to serve as officials in both places, they kept writing letters. Later, the two were transferred to Chang'an one after another and walked more frequently.

But just a month ago, Xu Wei suddenly died suddenly. Xu Wei was five years older than Di Renjie, and this year was exactly fifty. He had a serious illness two years ago and almost couldn't be rescued. Since then, Xu Wei's health has been getting worse day by day, and he has even considered resigning his official position and concentrating on recuperation.

It is precisely because Xu Wei's health was not good that it seemed normal for him to die suddenly. However, Di Renjie felt that his friend suddenly passed away was a bit strange, so he checked it while changing clothes for the corpse, but no obvious trauma was found.

However, Di Renjie did not give up at first, so he asked the Xu family's servants again about whether there were any abnormalities before and after Xu Wei's death, but he did not find anything. This finally dispelled his suspicion, and Xu Wei was also buried after the funeral.

"Hey, since everyone has been buried, no abnormality has been found. Then Di Sicheng, why do you want to open a coffin and perform a body?" Zhang Zong couldn't help asking curiously when he heard this.

"Young Master Zhang doesn't know anything. Just three days ago, my little nephew Xu Kuan, the eight-year-old son of Xu Wei, suddenly ran to my house to seek justice for his father, saying that his father was killed by his stepmother Wang. Although the child is still young, he will never joke about his father's life and death, so I decided to restart the case." Di Renjie also showed a little sadness and guilt at this time. If his friend was really killed by someone, he would have to seek justice for him no matter what.

"But the child's testimony does not seem to be used as evidence, right?" Zhang Zong frowned when he heard this. He had been dead for a month, and it was a case reported by a child, which made him feel that the case seemed a bit unreliable.

"Yes, Xu Kuan is still young, and he can't come to court to test the test, so I wanted to open a coffin and examine the autopsy, because according to Xu Kuan, although his father was in poor health, his condition had begun to improve after the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. However, the day before Xu Wei's death, Wang drove everyone out and strictly prohibited anyone from going to Xu Wei's room. It was not until the next day that Wang suddenly announced the news of Xu Wei's death. However, at the time of his death, the testimony between Wang and Xu Kuan appeared in a different place..."

Di Renjie said and explained the detailed case. It turned out that according to Wang, she found out that Xu Wei died when she woke up in the morning, but the night before Xu Wei passed away, she fed Xu Wei and drank medicine and even chatted for a few words.

However, according to Xu Wei's son Xu Kuan, Wang drove everyone out of the inner house the day before. Although Xu Wei was a child, she had a deep relationship with her father, so she secretly sneaked into her father's room in the evening. Wang was not in the room at that time, but he found that his father had passed away and was curled up on the bed, with a very painful expression.

After all, Xu Kuan was a child. He was very scared when he saw his father's tragic situation when he died. After returning, he fell seriously ill. At that time, Di Renjie had visited him. Xu Kuan was extremely ill at that time and could hardly speak. Di Renjie lamented that this child was a person who values ​​feelings, and he was also immersed in the grief of his friend's death, so he didn't think much about it.

When Xu Kuan recovered from his illness, he immediately ran to tell Di Renjie about his discovery that day. His father obviously died the night before, but Wang concealed Xu Wei's real death time. Instead, he said that he died the next morning. There was obviously some reason for this, so Di Renjie took on the case desperately.

However, after hearing the whole case, Zhang Zong frowned again. After a while, he said, "Di Sicheng, if Xu Wei had just passed away, he could judge the time of his death by the degree of corpse spots or corpse zombies, but he has been buried for a month. Now it is probably not easy to find evidence from the corpse."

"I know, but I can provide a clue to Mr. Zhang!" Di Renjie did not give up, but said solemnly again.

"What clue?" Zhang Zong also asked hurriedly.

"On the day Xu Wei passed away, I was a friend and helped him change his clothes. When changing clothes, I found a large corpse spot on his chest and abdomen. Whether it was Xu Kuan or Wang, their confessions said that when Xu Wei's body was found, Xu Wei was lying on the bed, which means that no one had touched Xu Wei's body during this period." Di Renjie explained again.

"I understand. Xu Kuan's body will definitely be corrected after it is discovered. If the corpse spots on his chest and abdomen still exist, it means that when Wang discovered his body, Xu Wei had been dead for more than a day, but she said that Xu Wei was still alive the night before yesterday, which is obviously very contradictory. The corpse will not lie. The only possibility is that Wang is lying!" Zhang Zong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and finally understood Di Renjie's meaning.

"Yes, according to what Mr. Zhang said before, if the corpse spots are fixed, the person will definitely die for more than one day. Xu Wei had just passed away. According to custom, he had to clean himself and change his clothes and then get buried. I happened to participate in the whole process that day. I was very sure that there were large corpse spots on his chest and abdomen. But I didn't know the magical use of corpse spots before. Until I heard Mr. Zhang's explanation, I felt like I was enlightened and figured out the key!" Di Renjie also showed a grateful look to Zhang Zong at the end.

"But..." Zhang Zong suddenly thought of something again, and then frowned again, "But it only took one or two hours to appear. You just helped Xu Wei clean the corpse and did not observe it all the time. If the corpse spot was not fixed and after turning the corpse, the original corpse spot would slowly disappear."

Zhang Zong also looked at Di Renjie very seriously after opening the coffin and the corpse spots on Xu Wei's chest and abdomen disappeared, it would not prove that Wang was lying. What should you do when Di Sicheng?"

The ancients believed that death is the most important thing for people, especially after burial, the coffin must not be opened again to avoid disturbing the peace of the deceased. Even if the grave is moved, the coffin will not be opened. Therefore, Di Renjie now requires the opening of the coffin and the autopsy is subject to great risks. If it is discovered, it is better, but if it is not discovered, then he will be in trouble!
