C7 Necropsy

The next day, at the Zhu Mansion entrance.

The blinding morning light hit the eaves of the Zhu Mansion door. With a light movement of the door latch, the scarlet door was slowly pulled open.

"Please take care, my lords. My body is getting more and more unsatisfying, so I can only give it to you." Zhu Chusheng leaned on the servant's body, which was as thin as a piece of paper, barely able to support his body.

Upon seeing this, the two people, Su and Bao, clasped their hands and bowed. Then, they turned around and got on the carriage, which was sent over by the yamen to wait for them.

The person who was driving the carriage was Wang He who had been unsettled for an entire night. He was wearing a hat made from straw and even Su Mu almost did not recognize him because he did not look carefully.

Wang He reached out and grabbed Su Mu's arm. When he helped her onto the carriage, he asked in a low voice, "Is everything alright?"

"Yes." Su Mu nodded. Unavoidably, he did not say anything more and stepped into the carriage.

Entering the carriage, he suddenly saw Lin Yi sitting in the middle of the carriage with his eyes closed as if meditating, holding a fan in his hand.

It was only until Bao Fusheng got into the car that he heard Lin Yi's low voice, "How's the investigation going?"

Because she didn't know who he was asking about, Su Mu didn't open her mouth and allowed Bao Fusheng to speak first.

"There's something wrong with the Zhu Family. This mother Zhu must not have been harmed by some outsider, and can already be determined to be the cause of the people within the Zhu Mansion." Bao Fusheng said.

Lin Yi, whose index finger was lightly tapping his leg, was not surprised, as if he had expected this would happen, he closed his eyes and continued to ask: "Evidence?"

"Last night, brother Su and I sneaked into the rear courtyard of the Zhu Family and observed, and discovered that there was a baby inside the woodshed. During this time, only Nanny Liu had entered. And I was weird on the beam of Mama Zhu's room. There was a thick layer of dust on the beam, but a small part of the dust had been disturbed. I guess there was a rope around it, and there was also some blood on the dust, which was very suspicious. " Bao Fusheng turned his head and looked at Su Mu. Seeing that he had no intention to say anything, he repeated the scene and situation to Su Mu and then added, "Thus, I believe that the culprit is most likely that Nanny Liu."

"Not necessarily." After entering the carriage, Su Mu, who had not spoken a single word, suddenly spoke.

Lin Yi also opened his eyes as a result. There was hope in his eyes as he looked at Su Mu.

Su Mu slightly raised his head and looked at the two of them separately for a moment. Then he said, "The person who reveals the most might not necessarily be the culprit, but it might be a clue or a key character. The Nanny Liu looked suspicious, but lacked the motive to kill. Man is not a plant, every one of the seven emotions and six desires can motivate man to act. The same goes for the crimes. The tools, the techniques, and the motives are all indispensable. In my opinion, it is still uncertain who the culprit is. "

"But according to what you said, the person who killed her mother was the mechanism left behind in her room. It would take time to set up the mechanism, but the person who can set up an ingenious mechanism in her room and not arouse suspicion would definitely be the person from Zhu Family." Su Mu added.

Bao Fusheng heard her and thought for a moment. When he felt that Su Mu's words were reasonable, he nodded his head in agreement.

On the other hand, Lin Yi's eyes gradually filled with curiosity and doubt. He closed the fan in his hand and used his strength to hit his leg.

Wu City City wasn't that big to begin with, and since the Zhu Mansion located on the east side street wasn't far from the county magistrate's residence, they arrived shortly.

The moment the carriage stopped, Lin Yi's clear and cold voice sounded out from within the small carriage, "Floating Life, cooperate fully with Prince Su's investigation."

"If you need anything, you can ask the Floater for it." Lin Yi looked straight at Su Mu, "If you want me to save the two of you, I only have one request, and that is to finish the case within three days."

When Su Mu heard this, he lowered his eyes and began to ponder. Traveling here and there for half a year was no different from a stray dog. She should have been able to bear the consequences of her father's actions, but no, he could have a better future or a happy family.

Thinking till here, Su Mu met Lin Yi's cold gaze, and said with an emotionless tone: "Ok."

Thus, an agreement was made. It was not a simple matter to solve the unsolved murder case in March.

As a result, once they got out of the carriage, Su Mu didn't even talk to Wang He. The portable Bao Fusheng had hurried to Scroll Sect's branch office in the yamen to investigate the case file.

Because the county magistrate had sloppily closed the case and filled it with false information, there weren't many useful files left. Su Mu's investigation had been like a thunderbolt in the ocean, greatly increasing the difficulty of solving the case.

Even the seemingly refined and refined Bao Fusheng could not help but scold him when he was looking through the documents, "He really is a useless dog official. This pile of documents is no different from scrap paper."

With that, Bao Fusheng raised his head and looked at Su Mu, who was still rummaging through the scroll, "brother Su, why don't you stop wasting your time here?"

Just from what she saw in the Zhu Family last night, it was not enough for her to be sure of the culprit. Even if she had already faintly guessed at the culprit, without sufficient evidence, no one would believe it. Even she herself was still guessing.

Closing his sore eyes, Su Mu nodded towards Bao Fusheng. These files were indeed useless.

But without a first-hand record of the case, how would she do it? Su Mu rubbed his temples and carefully recalled the sequence of events from the beginning to the end when his father handled the case.

Files, records, crime scene, and...

And the autopsy.

Because Su Mu was young, her father often brought her along to investigate cases but never allowed her to enter the place where the coroner was examined, saying that he was afraid that she would have nightmares at night. Thus, Su Mu would habitually neglect this step.

However, more than three months had passed since the incident and the body of her mother had been buried a few days after the incident had occurred. It was even more impossible for her to open the coffin and examine the corpse, and even more so, if she did not ask Zhu Chusheng if he was willing, she would probably drown in the saliva of the citizens of Wu City.

"How do I get an autopsy?" Su Mu could not help but feel a headache coming on.

When Bao Fusheng heard this, he asked in puzzlement, "brother Su wants to open the coffin and examine the corpse?"

Su Mu shook his head and Bao Fusheng followed through with his thoughts, "Then, shall we look for the coroner?"

Her eyes immediately lit up, and a smile appeared on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time. His head really hurt from being wrapped by this scroll, since he didn't even think of finding the coroner.

"However, since this file is written like this, I wonder if the coroner has really checked it." Bao Fusheng's was like a bucket of cold water that was poured down.

"However, Su Mu shook his head resolutely," A few days ago, when I was searching around Zhu Mansion for news, I saw that coroner. He said that the victim died from excessive blood loss due to a cut on her neck, and for him to say such words, he must have undergone a serious examination.

As expected, the two of them went to the old coroner's house. Although they knew that the magistrate was incompetent and that there was a high chance that the case would turn small and cause trouble, he still did not want to work. Now that there was someone who wanted to investigate deeper, the coroner hurriedly took out a book that was written down. The details of the injuries and fatal wounds on the body of Mother Zhu were recorded on the book.

Most importantly, the deceased had taken the Soul-Calming Elixir not long ago …

"Who said that?" Su Mu asked the coroner.

This old coroner had already been living in the Wu City for most of his life, so he must have some connections with the Zhu Family before. His tone was filled with sorrow, "It was said by the Nanny Liu who was by the side of the Zhu Family Mistress, but unfortunately, after Lady Zhu's death, the Nanny Liu fell ill and became deaf and dumb. "Ai, that Young Master Zhu is even more pitiful. His own father doesn't have the ability to turn the family's wealth into dust. His fiancee is unwilling to go through with the family, and his mother is here as well …"

As Su Mu listened, an idea gradually formed in his mind.
