As soon as Yang Qingyuan returned to Dali Temple, the police officer on duty came forward to inform him.
"Master Yang, the Iron Catcher is back!"
"Oh? You came back alone!?" Yang Qingyuan had just asked Di Zhiyuan to take charge of the affairs of Dali Temple and went to look for him. Unexpectedly, Tie Chengxuan came back.
"I also brought someone with me!" the detective on duty replied honestly.
Yang Qingyuan immediately entered the yamen and happened to see Li Gang, the head catcher on duty.
"Li Gang! Where is your iron catcher?"
Li Gang, who was a little lazy at first, suddenly became energetic when he saw his immediate boss's boss's boss, "Sir, the Iron Catcher has brought a guest to the ice cellar!"
Yang Qingyuan was refreshed. Is he finally here?
"You have been on duty all night and have worked hard. Go and rest first!" After saying this, Yang Qingyuan disappeared and galloped towards the ice cellar.
In the ice cellar, a middle-aged man was wearing Di Zhiyuan's whale skin gloves, with a solemn face, conducting a corpse examination.
Because the case had just been concluded and the procedures were still pending, the bodies of Li Bailiang and others were still placed in the ice cellar of Dali Temple.
"The deceased, Lian Xiang, was a seventeen-year-old female. She had many scratches on the surface of her body and strangulation marks between her neck. She was stabbed three times in the chest, one of which hit her heart, causing her death!"
The middle-aged man looked at the autopsy report in his hand with a serious expression.
"Absurd! Who did this autopsy? How ridiculous is it!?"
When Zuo Zuo on the side heard such comments from the middle-aged man, he felt dissatisfied. He had been in the industry for thirty years and his qualifications were here. The man in front of him was talking so nonsense. Wasn't this a loss of his job?
Ignoring Di Zhiyuan and Tie Chengxuan around him, he asked directly: "Who are you?! How dare you speak such arrogant words here!!"
"I am the magistrate of Ting County, Song Huifu!"
The middle-aged man didn't even raise his head and just continued to check himself.
"The deceased, Lianxiang, was a female. There were obvious purple marks on her throat, her pupils were dilated, her eye conjunctiva was bleeding, and her tongue was purple and black. She was strangled and suffocated to death."
Song Huifu then continued to examine Lianxiang's three wounds.
"There were three stab wounds. The wounds were dim in color and had no ectropion. The sides of the wounds were white with occasional red spots. It was obvious that they had been stabbed after death. These three stab wounds were not fatal injuries at all!"
Song Huifu's words shocked Yang Qingyuan, who had been quietly watching his examination from behind.
If Lianxiang was stabbed after her death, then there may have been an unexplained loophole in the previous case.
Yang Qingyuan couldn't help it, "But Song Hui's father, Mr. Song!"
Song Hui's father, who was originally looking attentive, turned around and observed Yang Qingyuan in casual clothes. When he saw the jade pendant on Yang Qingyuan's waist, he confirmed Yang Qingyuan's identity.
"The lower official Song Hui's father has met Mr. Yang."
Yang Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing, and couldn't help but look at Song Hui's father again.
The man in front of me is not only a master of autopsy, but also a meticulous observer.
"Mr. Song, you are very polite. Dali Temple has just been rebuilt and it is the time when you need your help. Qingyuan has heard of your name for a long time, so he asked the Ministry of Cabinet to transfer him to Beijing to help!"
Yang Qingyuan did not talk to Song Hui's father in the name of an official, but asked for advice as a junior.
Song Hui's father was over thirty years old and a famous criminal investigator. He could be regarded as the predecessor of Yang Qingyuan and Di Zhiyuan.
"Song doesn't dare, but if it can restore the majesty of Dali Temple, Song is willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses."
After the two had a simple conversation, Yang Qingyuan got straight to the point.
"Mr. Song, you just said that Lianxiang's death was caused by strangulation?! Was the stab wound on her chest caused after death? Is it possible that the murderer strangled Lianxiang unconscious and then used a knife to kill him?
His killing?!" Yang Qingyuan raised a possibility.
Song Huifu shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible. As far as this wound is concerned, the stabbing should have occurred two hours after the death of the deceased."
"Two hours?!" Yang Qingyuan can confirm that there are definitely still problems with Li Bailiang's case, and there is a high possibility that Li Afu is lying to reduce his guilt.
"Excuse me, sir, please check the cause of this person's death!"
Yang Qingyuan pointed to Li Bailiang on the side and said that the circumstances of Li Bailiang's death can be said to be the biggest mystery in this case.
Song Hui's father then walked to Li Bailiang's body and heard Tie Chengxuan say on the road that the biggest doubt in this case was that Li Bailiang's cause of death could not be determined.
After straightening his gloves, Song Huifu's attitude became pious again, as he always did when facing the corpse of the deceased.
To clear the grievances of the living and to bring justice to the dead.
Superficial inspection showed no wounds or traces.
They also inspected Li Bailiang's important internal organs and bones. The bones were intact and not broken, and the internal organs showed no signs of being hit hard.
Song Hui's father's face became more serious.
But as his examination continued, the expression on his face gradually changed from serious to shocked.
There were no signs of poisoning,
No signs of suffocation,
There were no signs of serious illness.
Song Hui's father was unable to find the cause of death from Li Bailiang.
Li Bailiang's death was too unnatural, or in other words, too natural. It didn't look like a dead person who had been killed. If it weren't for the slightly ferocious expression on his face, anyone would think that he was a person who had died.
Song Hui's father frowned, and then said to Tie Chengxuan, "Tie Chengxuan, can you please bring the previous autopsy report?"
Tie Chengxuan knew nothing about the art of autopsy, so he immediately became a tool and obediently obtained Li Bailiang's autopsy report.
Song Hui's father stared at Li Bailiang's autopsy report and remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
Then he checked Li Bailiang's limbs again, and the skeleton then shook his head and muttered to himself.
"What a strange thing! What a strange thing!"
"How strange?!" Yang Qingyuan, who was standing aside, asked.
Song Huifu pointed to the autopsy report and said, "Look at the record above. The deceased was covered with his mouth and nose and suffocated to death. However, the deceased's face was pale and his appearance was slightly haggard. This was clearly a sign of withered Qi and blood. And the deceased's face was pale and slightly withered.
The muscles are strong and the limbs are thick. He should be an outsider warrior who has achieved some success in body training. He should be full of energy and blood, but now his energy and blood are withered. It's very strange! It doesn't look like he died of murder, but more like he died of death.
Disease!"
Hearing this, Yang Qingyuan was suddenly stunned. In this cold ice cellar, there were beads of sweat oozing out from his forehead.
The energy and blood are withered! The face is ferocious!
Yang Qingyuan finally knew why he felt so familiar when he heard Li Xunhuan talk about the symptoms of the disease at the water transport terminal!!
Yang Qingyuan felt that his mind was in chaos for a moment! Countless broken fragments were constantly played and reorganized in his mind!
Li Bailiang is a shipping tycoon. The place where the epidemic occurred was the water transport terminal. The dead were all shipwrights and porters. This seemingly terrifying epidemic only lasted a few days and disappeared without a trace.
