Chapter 343 Drowning
Halfway through the way, Chai Yan asked Agate to go to the Beijing Office and invited the most experienced coroner Cai to the Ministry of Justice.
Gu Town is under Songlin County, and there are coroners in Songlin County, but this case involves detailed works, and Chai Yan does not want to disturb the place, so these four corpses were tested by him and Feiyuwei.
They are all martial arts practitioners, and they can judge what kind of weapon is caused by the wounds, but they are not coroners after all.
When Lao Zi arrived at the Ministry of Justice, he saw that there were two female corpses, so he waved his hand and refused to do anything. He asked the apprentice who was following him to invite the Stable Lady over.
Wenpo is here, and Lao Jiao of the Corps is directing through the curtain. Wu Po has worked with Lao Jiao of the Corps many times and has some experience, but after all, it is just Wenpo, not a real corps. The inspection results are not as detailed as Chai Yan and Feiyuwei.
Chai Yan was extremely angry and forced Laozi to perform the autopsy in person. Laozi would rather die than obey. After Fu Wenming heard that, he ran over without even putting his hat on his face.
Corps are not allowed to personally inspect the female corpse. This is written in the Corps Code issued by the Ministry of Justice. Mr. Cai acts according to the rules and does nothing wrong.
Fu Wenming touched the goatee's beard, as if he had made up his mind, walked to the side of the old coroner Cai and patted the shoulder of the old coroner Cai: "Old Cai, you are the old master of this industry. You know the code of coroner, and I understand it, but in the face of major issues, an old master like you must have a more pattern. The so-called pattern is..."
Fu Wenming said a lot, but Lao Jiao Zhu understood four words: You go for an autopsy.
Chai Yan complained in his heart, civil servants, this is civil servants!
Most of the words Fu Wenming said were useless nonsense, but there was one thing he said right.
Lao Jiao is indeed an old master in this industry.
He found out that the young female corpse was not stabbed to death by Emei. Judging from the corpse spots, her death time was probably at least two hours earlier than the other female corpse!
Moreover, she died of drowning!
The four bodies were all fished from the river, and they were thrown into the river after being severely injured. Even if they showed a drowning death, Chai Yan and others would think that these people were thrown into the river before they died after being severely injured. Therefore, they did not think that one of the four people actually drowned first and then was stabbed again.
In addition, the woman who was familiar with the woman before this was found out that although the female corpse was young, she had given birth to a child.
Chai Yan didn't know if Chanjuan or Yan Xuejiao had children, so he still couldn't determine the identity of this person.
But one thing is certain. Yan Xuehuai is so suspicious that this female corpse is not Chanjuan!
The old coroner Cai carefully checked another female corpse. This was a middle-aged woman, but she not only had no children, but also had a virginity.
This person has thick calluses on his hands and feet, and many old scars on his body. There is a tattoo on his right shoulder. The tattoo is a plum blossom, and there are three plum blossoms in total.
Chai Yan asked someone to rub the plum blossoms onto the paper. After thinking about it, he copied two more copies, one left by himself, and the other was sent to the Duke Dingguo Mansion.
Soon, Agate came back and told Chai Yan: "Fusheng said that the flower mother in Pingcheng also had tattoos on her shoulders, and they were also plum blossoms, but there were only two."
Chai Yan checked the old files of the Ministry of Justice again, but found that after the brothel in Xianyun case committed suicide, he only tested the cause of death, but did not let Wenpo check her body. Therefore, it was impossible to know whether the brothel also had plum blossom tattoos on her body.
Chai Yan exhaled, his coriander was a treasure. If it weren't for her, Chai Yan wouldn't have thought that the wound on the young female corpse would have been caused after death.
Regardless of whether Chanjuan is Yan Xuejiao or not, this female corpse is definitely not Chanjuan.
But the other female corpse should be Mama Lin.
The oriole came to save people and also came to silence them.
Chanjuan was rescued, and Mama Lin was silenced.
Mother Lin may not have thought that this would happen to her death until she died.
This detailed work is very cunning. In order to hide her identity, she sent Chanjuan to the flower boat, but she changed herself to dress up and took her bought daughter to work as an old mother at the squire's house.
As alert as Liuli, she was also face to face, but she could not see through her identity. Instead, she was shocked and allowed her to escape.
Such a person was killed in a daze.
Chai Yan entered the palace and reported the matter to the prince.
Yan Xuehuai repeatedly reminded him that if anything is related to official affairs, he must not go beyond the prince to report directly to the emperor. In the past, his father was not the emperor, and his brother was not the prince. He had his father and his brother to deal with him after he caused trouble.
But Yan Xuehuai told him that it was different now. His father was the king, his brother was the crown prince, and he was the minister.
Have you ever seen any minister who kept asking the emperor to cure the aftermath for him?
Chai Yan is not stupid, he is just willful.
After hearing this, the prince frowned. He paced around the house twice and asked, "Have you ever checked other cases of the fine works? In addition to the case in Pingcheng, have any other fine works ever had plum blossom tattoos on them?"
Chai Yan shook his head: "There are no records of plum blossom tattoos in other detailed crimes. I don't know if there is any, but I was neglected back then."
The prince pondered for a long time and said, "That female artist named Chanjuan, this time she was rescued, it would be like a rock sinking into the sea. It is difficult to find the traces anymore. You might as well put it aside first and try your best to investigate the plum blossom tattoo. I suspect this is an organization, taking the plum blossom as a record, but whether it is the Pingcheng Huawuniang case or the current case, everyone is dead, but we still cannot determine which party these detailed works belong to, this matter you are going to investigate now. At least we must know who they are serving for, whether they are Tara in the north, Anxia in the northwest, or Goryeo, Jiaozhi, or a certain force we don't know."
Chai Yan actually wanted to continue chasing Chanjuan. Chanjuan was probably Yan Xuejiao, so he had to let this person die completely.
But the prince asked him to put the investigation of Chanjuan in advance, and Chai Yan agreed casually that he could go and investigate quietly, which would not delay him from checking the plum blossom tattoo.
Before Chai Yan could walk out of the Eastern Palace, he saw Chai Hao running towards him.
"Uncle, uncle, I heard you are going to investigate the case. Please bring me with you, okay?"
Chai Yan smiled and said, "You are going to the academy in Kaichun, how can you have time to investigate the case with me?"
"You also said that it was after the beginning of spring, not now. Now I have time, Dabai and Mantou are on holiday, and all three of us have time."
Seeing that Chai Yan still didn't let go, Chai Hao simply grabbed Chai Yan's arm and refused to let go: "Uncle, you have changed. You were not like this before. Uncle, have you forgotten that you have me, my poor nephew?"
