C29 Post-mortem Examination

"What, Princess Ye, you said that Bi Yun didn't die from drowning, but from being killed? "How do you know?" Bi Yun was so scared that her eyes widened.

"She said it!" Ye Zixuan pointed at Bi Yun's corpse. Her words scared the hell out of everyone present.

"You know the autopsy?" Of course, Fourth Master wasn't stupid enough to think that the corpse could speak.

"I know a bit." Ye Zixuan said humbly.

"With your status, how could you do such a thing? I'll have someone find a coroner at the yamen." In Fourth Master's heart, Ye Zixuan was his woman, so she naturally had a high status. How could she do such a lowly job as coroner?

"In the end, this is our own family matter, so we shouldn't use outsiders."

What this little girl did was to serve food. She was afraid that there was something unspeakable in the food that would lead to her being silenced.

Otherwise, how could that girl have money of unknown origin?

Naturally, Fourth Master had already thought of what even Ye Zixuan could think of. He just felt sorry for Ye Zixuan and didn't want her to touch these dirty thoughts.

In the end, Fourth Master was persuaded by Ye Zixuan. After all, this kind of private matter in the inner chamber, the fewer people who know, the better.

Fourth Master got his men to move the corpse into the servant's back room and also brought it along with the other girls to interrogate them.

Ye Zixuan took a step forward and started questioning the maidservants who shared a room with Bi Yun.

"When was the last time you saw Bi Yun?"

"After the servants left, Bi Yun had already fallen asleep with her back facing us. The servants probably slept at the Hai hour as well. When it was late at night, we heard that Bi Yun had fallen into the water." Bi Zhu took a step forward and said clearly.

"So the last time you saw her was at Hai?" Ye Zixuan continued to ask.

Bi Zhu thought back and said uncertainly, "This servant woke up in the middle of the night when she heard something, seeing that someone was up, but she didn't light the lamp and asked her without uttering a word. Then, this servant was too sleepy, so she ignored her and went back to sleep."

"What time was it? "Which one of you is up late?" Ye Zixuan asked Bi Xin and Bi Yao.

They both shook their heads.

If it wasn't for them waking up at night, then it would have to be Bi Yun.

Bi Zhu tried hard to recall, "At that time, I was still in a daze, and I heard three louder sounds."

"In other words, the last time you saw Bi Yun was in the middle of the night." Ye Zixuan came to a conclusion.

She did some mental calculations and realized that the time for finding the body was five fifteen in the morning. It was already eleven in the evening, and the time for finding it was five fifteen in the morning.

It was inferred that Bi Yun had been killed when she was out at eleven o'clock, but the exact time of death needed to be carefully examined before an autopsy was conducted.

Ye Zixuan invited Fourth Master and the others out. After taking off her clothes, she began to examine them and confirmed her earlier deduction. Bi Yun was indeed killed and thrown into the water.

However, the time of death was different from what he had expected.

After Ye Zixuan had finished her autopsy, she helped Bi Yun to put on her clothes before inviting her in again.

"Are there any results? How did she die? " Fourth Master asked.

"She was choked to death by someone who covered her nose and mouth, unable to breathe.

Her pupils were dilated, her eyes were bloodshot, the spots were dark purple; her face was bruised and swollen; her lips, fingers (toes), and nails were purple; and she was drooling. These were the characteristics of being strangled to death.

If she had drowned, her face would have turned pale, there would have been sand in her mouth and nose, and a large amount of water in her belly.

When she struggles, there might be sand and stone in her hands, lotus flowers and the like. However, there is no sand in her hands, there are only skin fragments, and her fingernails were broken, proving that she violently struggled before she died and even injured the murderer. "

Ye Zixuan forcefully pulled away Bi Yun's clenched fist. Surprisingly, there was a pink pearl on it. Although the color of the pearl wasn't too good, it wasn't something that a servant could have.

Ye Zixuan carefully examined Bi Yun's fingernails again. They were bluish in color, and because she had used too much strength, two of them had been broken off, with bits of flesh and skin stuck in the middle.

"Master, the culprit was injured by Bi Yun. Check who was injured. Also, this pearl must have been taken from the culprit's body."

"However, the strangest thing is that the time taken for Bi Yun to be killed wasn't in the third half of the night, but more than six hours. According to the preliminary estimate, it should have been seven to eighteen hours."

"Are you sure?" Fourth Master frowned and glanced at Ye Zixuan.

"I confirm!" You see, the spots on her body have been completely fixed, the pressure on her hands has not faded, the skin has not bled from the incision, the muscles under the skin are purplish red, and the rigor mortis has spread throughout her body, and her cornea is moderately cloudy.

With these signs, she had died at least six hours ago.

Moreover, the corpse spots on her body were formed in one go, which meant that in the six hours after she died, the corpse spots had not been moved before they were completely fixed. After she died, she had always been lying on her back, which was different from the lying on the side that Bi Zhu and the others previously mentioned.

Therefore, what they saw shouldn't be the real Bi Yun, it was really Bi Yun who had already died!

The Bi Yun they saw was a disguise.

This is a premeditated murder. "

Fourth Master's eyes were filled with admiration. His Small Princess was truly outstanding. She was knowledgeable and talented, and also had a pure heart.

Fourth Master based on the clues provided by Ye Zixuan, Su Peisheng to investigate.
