How to work

The mourning hall has been cleared, leaving only a nanmu coffin engraved with the character of longevity.

"The preparations were a bit hasty, and the servants only had time to invite the guests out and clean the house, and the coffin has not been opened yet." Bai Xu's expression was a bit complicated, and he probably had some doubts about opening his father's coffin.

Lu Li didn't urge him, and waited for him to recover by himself.

After a while, Bai Xu took a deep breath and said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Uncle Guan, open the coffin."

The middle-aged man had a straight face and introverted eyes, wearing a black robe, commanding people with a decisive and skilled attitude, Lu Li guessed that he should be the housekeeper of Baifu, Guan Shan.Sure enough, at the next moment, Bo Xu introduced to him that this person was indeed the chief housekeeper of Bai Mansion, Guan Shan.

Although Guan Shan gave orders to others, he himself was not idle. He stood at the front and lifted the lid of the coffin to help open it, reminding him from time to time that his movements should be gentle and not rude, for fear of waking up the people inside.

The lid of the coffin was opened, and a not-so-pleasant smell permeated the air. When Pai Xu saw the sleeping person inside, he couldn't help crying, "Father..."

Lu Li stepped forward and looked at Bai Mingtao in the coffin.

The complexion is yellowish, the eyes are slightly open, the mouth and nose have faint black traces, the hair is in a bun, the clothes are neat, and the clothes on the upper arms and abdomen are slightly stained with blood.The deceased should have been cleaned and restrained by his family, and looked decent, but it was not conducive to the autopsy.

"Bo Xu, you often follow your father, do you know how to perform an autopsy?"

Bai Xu bit his lip slightly, "...I know, for an autopsy, the corpse needs to be undressed and lie on the mortuary table."

Lu Li nodded, "The autopsy is to find out the cause of death and see if it was an accident. It is the last respect for the deceased, not disturbing, do you understand?"

Bai Xu closed his eyes, "Understood. Uncle Guan——"

Guan Shan beckoned, and asked his servants to bring over the four-leg altar that was seven feet long and two feet wide, and carried out Bai Mingtao's body, including the shroud, and placed it on the altar. The size was just right.

Lu Li couldn't help but praise the housekeeper for his carefulness. Mrs. Bai's incident happened too fast and too suddenly. It was much slower to hear the news here in the front yard, and Bai Xu could go to see it, but Guan Shan couldn't let go of the guests here. To make such a quick and effective response, this person's ability is really good.

Without pretending to be anyone else, Guan Shan untied Bai Mingtao's clothes himself.

Lu Li didn't bring a toolbox, so he had to buy some wine, vinegar, warm water and other things that might be used from the kitchen, and after washing his hands, he came to observe the deceased.

Although it wasn't a government autopsy and there was no need to write autopsy records, Lu Li still didn't dare to be careless, so he asked Bo Xu to bring the four treasures of cultural treasures, and asked Shen Wan to help him write the autopsy records as before.

"The body of the deceased is yellowish in color, his hands are loose, his eyes are slightly open, and his hair... is tight," Lu Li asked Bo Xu, "When you collected your father's body, did you ever help him retie his hair?"

"No," Pax thought for a moment, and replied, "Although my father died in a miserable state, his hair was still in a bun. When we restrained ourselves, we only dipped in water and wiped our temples, but did not re-do it."

Lu Li nodded and continued to look down.

There were black bloody marks in the nose of the deceased, clenched teeth, dark spots on the body, and cyanotic lips and nails.

There are leather-like spots formed by abrasions on the shoulders, back, waist, and legs. The right arm and calf are broken, and there are many bruises on the body. miserable.

Bai Xu turned his head and couldn't bear to look, "What can you see, sir?"

Lu Li pondered for a moment, "Doctor Bai was indeed a mess, but he may not have died because of it."

"Father was a mess, but didn't he die because of it?" Bo Xu was a little confused, "Why is that?"

"Master Bai's body is covered with horse tread marks, and his arm was broken due to the car, but these injuries are not fatal. The bruises on the chest and back are very deep, which may cause internal organs to rupture and bleed. Master Bai has signs of congestion in the nasal cavity, and the teeth are closed. But biting tightly... So, Mr. Bai may have died from horse riding, or he may not have died, and the specifics will only be known after an autopsy and examination of the internal organs."

"Dissect, dissect the corpse?" Bai Xu had a stiff expression that had been struck by lightning.

Lu Li did not pay attention to him, and kept his eyes on the corpse. The statement continued, "Lord Bai's lips and nails are blue and purple and even in color, and his hands and feet are the same. The reason, one is shortness of breath and suffocation, such as being strangled to death, and the other is poisoning. There is no abnormality in my Lord Guan Bai's throat, trachea and tongue, he must have been poisoned."

"Poisoned, poisoned?" Bai Xu hadn't recovered from cutting open his father's body, and heard the terrible news, his eyes were a little straight.

"Yes, poisoned, and the poison is very strong." Lu Li was a little distressed, "Master Bai died from horse riding, or was poisoned..." It was hard to tell, he really wanted to open his chest to have a look.

Some talking to himself, Lu Li continued to look down.

The abdominal opening of the deceased was very large, and the family members did not sew it up when they restrained themselves. Instead, they wrapped cloth strips around the outside and put on clothes to make a wrap. Not too deep, only a little lymph and adipose tissue were exposed, and it was not considered a fatal injury.

It's just that the part below the navel...is a little unpleasant.

I can't say what's wrong, it's just subconsciously feeling uncoordinated.Lu Li lightly pressed the abdomen of the corpse twice, thought for a while, and took out a scalpel with a cold light from his sleeve pocket.

Shen Wansha was very shocked, didn't he not bring a toolbox today!

How did Shen Wansha know that since Zhao Zhu left, Lu Li always felt very insecure, and Shen Wansha especially liked to tell horror stories on the road, so after thinking about it, he took out a scalpel from the toolbox For self-defense.The scalpel is his most commonly used tool. At that time, he bought a few more in the blacksmith shop. No matter the size or sharpness, they are very suitable for self-defense tools...

The blade glowed with a cold light, and the temperature of the reflected room was even lower.Bai Xu swallowed, his eyes a little wary, "You, what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, without your permission, I won't dissect Master Bai's body, I just think this wound is wrong..." Lu Li smiled at Bai Xu, like coaxing a child, "Just take a look, everything will be fine."

Bai Xu was dazzled by the soothing warm smile, and he didn't come back to his senses in a daze.

Since he didn't say anything against it, Lu Li gave a big smile and started.

There were already wounds on the body of the corpse. To avoid the distress of the family members, Lu Li did not make a new opening. Instead, he turned the scalpel at an angle and used it as tweezers to open a small incision in the subumbilical peritoneum.Then insert the index finger and middle finger of the left hand into the incision, stretch it slightly and lift it up, and then hold the scalpel in the right hand to incise the connected peritoneum and part of the muscle tissue to expose the abdominal cavity, then put down the scalpel, and put the right hand in to feel whether the inner tissue is normal...

Seeing Lu Li's hand reaching into his father's belly, Pao Xu's face turned pale with fright, "You...you..."

Guan Shan also frowned, but grabbed Pai Xu, "Wait a minute, young master."

Shen Wansha also covered his mouth. Although he didn't dissect the corpse this time, he stretched his hands into the dead man's stomach to play... Xiao Lizi is so brave!

Everyone looked at Lu Li in silence and shock, but Lu Li acted as if he didn't realize it, doing his own thing seriously.

He moved very slowly, as if it had been a long time, and it seemed that it was just a moment, Lu Li's eyes suddenly burst into light, "I found it!"

He carefully took out...one, two, three silver needles from Bai Mingtao's stomach.There are still blood stains on the silver needle, which is very frightening against the silver light.

There was such a thing in the stomach of the deceased!

If it wasn't for Guan Shan's support, Bo Xu almost fainted, his father was run over by a cart and trampled by a horse, and it wasn't enough to be poisoned, there was still a needle in his stomach!If it is possible to be poisoned by eating something by mistake, but the three silver needles, could it be that my father inserted them himself!

For a moment, his eyes were dark and his heart was cold and his teeth were chattering, and he didn't dare to think about what his father had suffered.

It seems that the silver needle in this part can only cause abdominal pain to the deceased, and the fatality rate is very small, it needs to continue to go up a little bit... It is still difficult to tell why Mr. Bai died.Lu Li shook his head and frowned in confusion, and looked at Pao Xu's expression.

The family members probably won't accept the autopsy, and now is not the time to persuade... Lu Li put the needle aside and needed some stitches to sew up Bai Mingtao's abdominal opening before turning to Bai Xu with his hands clean, "Those who want to put Master Bai to death There is more than one person, what do you think?"

how to think? "Naturally, we must find the murderer and avenge my father!" Bai Xu gritted his teeth, "The government official actually said that my father was indeed killed by a car. If there is no abnormality, he must be the murderer's accomplice!"

"Don't get too excited," Lu Li advised Bai Xu, "Master Bai is the magistrate of this place, and once he dies, he will have a great influence. You may not want to get into trouble, and some things will be concealed and not reported in order to get through it smoothly. Evidence is needed for everything, as long as we investigate, we will know whether he has anything to do with this matter."

Another point is that Bai Mingtao is the governor and an official, while Bai Xuxu is just a scholar and has no official status.No matter in the officialdom or shopping malls, people are very practical, even if they have a little legacy, they will also think about their own future, and it is not easy to investigate the case by themselves.

So now they can only do their best to investigate secretly, and it is best to ask others to help after finding out the results. If it is too high-profile, it may cause dislike to people and cause many difficulties.

Bo Xu was silent for a moment, probably also thought of this, "Then what should we do?"

"Let's start with the matter in the mansion." Lu Li suggested, "The poison is acute. The silver needle will enter the fatal blood orifices in just a day or two. Even if Mr. Bai didn't have any accidents the day before, this The poison and the silver needle will also kill him within three days. Master Bai died the day before yesterday, and according to the signs of the poison and the location of the silver needle, it will be within two days before his death. Master Bai these two days Wherever we have been, who we have met, what we have done, what we ate and drank, if we go in this direction, we will not go wrong.”

Bai Xu clenched his fists tightly, "Mr. is right, I'll call all relevant people over here!" After speaking, he pulled Guan Shan away in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had just left when the door of the mourning hall made a loud bang and was kicked open from the outside.

Lu Li frowned and turned to look.

The person came with wide eyes, black and red face, a big beard, and a fierce manner. He spoke very impolitely, "I heard that someone here privately conducted an autopsy to find out the cause of Master Chabo's death? You are so brave...Who gave you the right!" He fixed his gaze on Lu Li's head standing in front of the corpse, sneered, and swept the wreath beside him!

Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly, he took two steps back, and subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhu.

Even at this time, the young man's eyes were still clear and bright, without a trace of distress, and the look of anticipation in his eyes could tickle people's hearts.

Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, did he finally think of the king?

I didn't see how he moved, and his figure floated in front of Lu Li like a ghost, with one hand behind his back, and the other waved casually - the wreath was shattered immediately, and flew back in the opposite direction, making the face of the visitor confused.
