Martial arts immortality, I will eventually be invincible

Chapter 342: Trying to get away with it

Money makes the world go round.

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Xiao Jin led the way with silver. It sounds difficult to find a body that meets the requirements and has been dead for no more than one day in such a big city, but it is not difficult.

A large population means that many people die every day. With so many refugees without status outside the city, there are too many options to choose from.

With his old-fashioned nature, he made friends with all kinds of people. After spending several hours, he finally found a body that meets the requirements.

As a prison guard, Chen Guanlou can provide enough convenience with just one order.

Xiao Jin quietly transported the body into the Tianlao, with all the details in place, and then reported the death list.

After the list was reported, there was no movement in the first two days.

According to the rules, if there is no order from above and no one comes to claim the body within three days, the body can be dragged out and buried. The body cannot be kept in the morgue for a long time to prevent the spread of epidemics.

Besides, the morgue has limited space. In Tianlao, people die every day, but it is possible that several people die every other day. The land is limited, so corpses cannot be kept for a long time. Unless enough money is paid, the corpses will be taken to the charity cemetery for claiming by the family members.

Chen Guanlou had a secret thought, hoping that the higher-ups would completely ignore the death list, just go through the motions, and take all the bodies out and bury them after three days.

Unexpectedly, just in the evening when it was almost time to get off work the next day, someone from the Ministry of Justice came with a coroner.

Chen Guanlou came out to entertain the officials from the Ministry of Justice, while Xiao Jin took the coroner to the morgue for autopsies.

"The medical officers have checked it out. These corpses could not withstand the execution, their wounds festered, and the pus attacked their hearts and they died. This one died of old age, that one died of illness, and that one died of banging his head against the wall because he was too depressed to think clearly..."

Xiao Jin was an old-timer, and it was his time to show his old-timer acting skills when he received the coroner. Without making a sound, just like a normal chat, he introduced the situation of several bodies in the morgue. There was no emphasis, no special attention, and he seemed particularly disgusted, and he refused to step into the threshold. He just stood at the door, pointed, and finished the introduction.

It completely meets the characteristics of an old-fashioned jailer, and such characteristics can be seen everywhere.

The coroner checked one by one, of course it was impossible to check very carefully, the main thing was to determine whether it met the cause of death on the report form, and whether there were other causes of death.

Xiao Jin stood at the door, looking bored and impatient, but in fact he was secretly observing the behavior of the coroner. He found that the coroner seemed to pay special attention to the body that died of old age, and his heart was lifted.

The body he found was indeed dead of old age, dry and thin, but he had not seen the sun for many years, and his body was messy. With the details he added, it completely met the characteristics of the body in the Tianlao. Unless you have a sharp eye, you should not be able to find any loopholes.

The coroner, who was facing away, looked hesitant, but he could not find the reason. In the spirit of "less trouble is more trouble", he finally drew a circle on the report form and passed it. Then he checked the remaining bodies.

Xiao Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the inspection, he sent away the coroner and the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and he exchanged glances with Chen Guanlou.

"No problem!"

"No problem!"

The two almost said in unison, and each of them had done their job well. On the side of the officials of the Ministry of Justice, Chen Guanlou handled it very well. As long as the men talked about sex, they would soon get closer to each other. Chen Guanlou was knowledgeable and a frequent visitor to brothels. As long as he wanted, his sex jokes were not repeated.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice listened with a smile on their faces, and they also learned a few jokes, ready to show off in front of their colleagues when they returned to the Ministry of Justice.

It was easy to deal with, just wait until tomorrow, and then they can be taken out and buried.

But...

There is always a but.

Good things don't work, but bad things do.

The thing Chen Guanlou was most worried about came. Someone came to the palace, including an old eunuch who was so old that he had to take a breath and needed someone to support him.

The old eunuch said nothing and went straight into the morgue, specifically for the dead body.

Chen Guanlou did not follow him, but stood in the small courtyard outside the morgue, perfectly playing his role. He came to accompany him reluctantly, and did not want to get close to the morgue, nor did he want to delve into the intentions of the palace. He was well aware of the set of keeping a low profile.

Xiao Jin followed him, a little trembling.

Chen Guanlou held a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, and whispered: "Relax, why are you so nervous?"

"Aren't you worried, sir?"

Chen Guanlou sneered, and said with a confident face: "So many days have passed, the body has already begun to decay, what can an old eunuch find out? It's nothing more than seeing if the body looks like what he remembers. But the person has been imprisoned for more than 30 years, and it's a dark prison, and the appearance has changed a lot. Not to mention that the old eunuch can't recognize him, even if his mother or wife comes, they may not recognize him. Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Chen Guanlou gritted his teeth, "Unless the prisoner has an obvious birthmark on his body."

"Ah!" Xiao Jin panicked when he heard it. Fortunately, he still remembered the occasion and didn't dare to show his expression.

"What should I do?"

"It's cold! Now I can only take it one step at a time."

Chen Guanlou was also very annoyed.

Not to mention that he didn't think of the birthmark before, even if he did, he couldn't do anything. He hadn't seen Wang Qiren's body, only his face, and his face was actually not clear. It was a dark prison with little light, and the man's beard and hair were messy, and he hadn't cleaned them for many years. Once the man shaved his hair and beard, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to recognize him at a glance.

He guessed that reporting the death news might alarm the palace.

He had guessed that a widower would come to do the autopsy.

What I didn't expect was that the palace actually invited an old eunuch to recognize him.

There was no file on Wang Qiren in Tianlao, and he didn't know what his physical characteristics were. The handyman who delivered the food was only responsible for delivering the food and cleaning up. He didn't know whether there were any obvious birthmarks or scars on Wang Qiren's body.

Why!

I can only leave it to fate.

Time passes very slowly today.

It was obviously a gloomy small morgue courtyard, but Xiao Jin was so nervous that he broke into a sweat.

"Calm down!" Chen Guanlou covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and reminded the other party in a low voice.

"Aren't you nervous, sir?" Xiao Jin asked quietly.

"There's nothing to be nervous about. If you really ask me, just say you don't know anything. We don't know anything in the first place. We don't know who the prisoner's name is. If they bite the corpse and it's not the prisoner, just bite it. This is the person who died on death row. As for whether he was transferred, we don’t know when. It might have been ten years ago.”

Chen Guanlou made up his mind that once the other party made trouble, he would disturb the muddy water.

A prisoner without a file, a prisoner who is locked up in the deepest part of the prison, whom no one has ever seen before, can always get away with it by trying to kill him without knowing it. He can shirk things back ten or twenty years ago.
