This carriage should be specially used in the Yamen to transport corpses. The carriage is relatively wide.
Shen Xi's body was placed in the middle of the carriage. Shopkeeper Bai and Shen Yuyu sat on both sides of the body, which was quite comfortable.
"You really can't stand it with your eyes closed. This face can't even be covered with a cover." Shopkeeper Bai said as he picked up the white cloth that fell to the side and covered Shen Xi's face again.
Shen Yuyu looked at Shen Xi's corpse and secretly sighed that life is impermanent.
I remembered that the last time I rode a bullock cart with her, she looked arrogant and complacent. I didn't expect that just a short time later, she was already lying at someone else's feet, turning into a stiff corpse.
"Do you know Miss Yu Yu very well with this person?" Seeing Shen Yu Yu staring at Shen Xi's body as if nothing had happened, shopkeeper Bai also admired her courage.
"We are all neighbors and we know each other quite well." Shen Yuyu nodded.
"It's a pity that you are so young." Shopkeeper Bai sighed, then looked at Shen Yuyu and whispered: "I heard that after the deceased disappeared, the deceased's mother went to the Wang family to make trouble? She suspected that Wang Xiucai abducted him. Dead? '
He also heard what the villagers said later, and at that time he felt that this case might be difficult. The Wang family was not an ordinary family, and it would be easy to blame others.
"Yes." Shen Yuxi nodded. Since shopkeeper Bai asked this, he must have become suspicious of the Wang family. Shen Yuxi hesitated for a moment and knelt down to shopkeeper Bai. His voice was very low so that the coachman could not hear it. .
"Uncle Bai, Shen Xi died under mysterious circumstances. I saw her having a secret meeting with Wang Xiucai before she disappeared."
She had been hesitant about saying this before, fearing that it would be revealed and alert others.
But when he thought that he and Ji Xun had no relatives or any support, he could only hope that Shopkeeper Bai would be fair in the autopsy, so he decided to tell this fact.
"Let's talk if you have something to say." Shopkeeper Bai called out to Shen Yuyu, "So the deceased's best friend during his lifetime was Wang Xiucai?"
"Well, it should be him. At that time, I saw a man walking hand in hand with Shen Xi. Although I saw his back, his figure and clothes were similar to Wang Xiucai."
Shopkeeper Bai was silent. It seemed that the incident between the deceased and Wang Xiucai was not groundless.
He raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yue: "Do you think the deceased might have been moved to a cave after death? Why?"
Shen Yuxi said seriously: "Uncle Bai, can you allow Yuxi to inspect the body of the deceased?"
"Okay." Shopkeeper Bai nodded, took out a pair of special sheepskin gloves from the medical box and handed them to Shen Yuyu.
Shen Yuyu put on gloves, squatted down in front of Shen Xi's body, uncovered the white cloth covering the deceased's face, and looked at her eyelids and mouth.
Seeing Shen Yu's calmness and composure, Shopkeeper Bai couldn't help but secretly admire him.
He was really impressed that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was so bold.
Shen Yuyu looked attentively, inspecting from the head to the lower body, and even touched Shen Xi's belly in the middle.
Finally he took off his sheepskin gloves and frowned.
"How is it?" Uncle Bai looked at her expectantly.
"Does uncle really think that the cave is the scene of the first crime?" Shen Yuyu sat down again and looked at shopkeeper Bai seriously and asked. "
What do Yu Yu think?" Shopkeeper Bai asked back, looking very interested, wanting to see how good this little girl is.
"Definitely not." Shen Yuyu answered with certainty.
'Why not?'
"First, the deceased's clothes were clean and free of filth, indicating that she had changed her clothes after her death."
Shopkeeper Bai nodded. Hanging or being strangled would definitely lead to urinary incontinence. The deceased was clean and had indeed changed his clothes.
"Second, the soles of the deceased's shoes were clean, but she had not changed her shoes."
"Oh?" Shopkeeper Bai had a hint of doubt. He didn't pay attention to this detail. "You haven't changed your shoes? Why do you come to this conclusion?"
"Uncle, look." Shen Yuyu squatted down, pulled off the hem of the deceased's clothes, and exposed the shoes on her feet.
Shopkeeper Bai suddenly realized that they were a pair of red wedding shoes, with colorful silk straps tied around the ankles. Looking closely, they were tied with a tight knot. It was obvious that someone had tried to take them off and failed, and even the heels were torn a little.
"These two points are indeed enough to prove that the cave was not the scene of the first crime, but they cannot clear your husband's suspicion." Shopkeeper Bai sighed.
"Well, I know, I'm just telling you the results of the inspection." After a pause, Shen Yue continued, "The deceased had already had physical contact with the man and was pregnant for more than a month."
"Are you sure?" Shopkeeper Bai's expression was stagnant. He also didn't check this.
"It's absolutely certain." Shen Yuyu nodded heavily, "Uncle, if you don't believe it, you can tell by dissecting the body of the deceased." Shopkeeper Bai was silent.
Wearing wedding shoes, pregnant, and forced into marriage by the Wang family, the cause of Shen Xi's death seemed to be clear. However, he was just a liar, and all this still had to be judged by the county magistrate.
"Don't worry, Miss Yu Yu, I will definitely write down all these doubts in the autopsy file." That's all he can do.
"Thank you, uncle."
They only met once, so Shopkeeper Bai was able to do this, and Shen Yue was very grateful.
After a moment of silence, Shen Yue asked: "Uncle, after my husband-in-law is taken to the Yamen, will he be locked up immediately?'
"Suspects in murder cases are directly put on death row, but only after both the plaintiff and the defendant are present and the case is heard and the suspect pleads guilty can he be convicted.'
"Then uncle, can you think of a way for me to see my husband?" She wanted to tell Ji Xun that he must not plead guilty, and that she would do everything she could to clear his grievances.
Shopkeeper Bai thought for a while: "I do know a few prison bosses. I will ask them when the time comes."
"Well, uncle's kindness has been remembered.'
"Uncle can't help much. There's only so much I can do. You just stay with me these two days and act according to the situation.'
"Okay." Shen Yue nodded.
It didn't take half an hour to ride a carriage from Shenjia Village to Wantian County, and we arrived at the county government office in no time.
When they arrived, the carriage escorting Ji Xun had long disappeared, and the yamen gate was quiet.
The carriage transporting the corpse went directly to Yizhuang. Shen Yuhu took the initiative to carry shopkeeper Bai's box and followed him quietly.
It was already dark after the body of the deceased was properly placed. That night, shopkeeper Bai asked several cell leaders for news about Ji Xun. In the end, even they didn't know where he was being held.
Shen Yuyu was so worried that he stayed up all night.
***
Shenjia Village, the home of the deceased Shen Xi.
After a night's sleep, Nong and Shen Wenguang's emotions calmed down somewhat. Shen was lying on the bed with red and swollen eyes, as if his soul had been taken away.
"The child is gone, so let's eat something." Shen Wenguang's eyes were black and blue, and he came over with a bowl of porridge.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen burst into tears again. She cried heartbrokenly for a while, and was reluctantly helped up by Shen Wenguang to eat. After two mouthfuls of porridge, she couldn't eat any more. She put down her spoon and looked at Shen Wenguang.
"Her father, do you think we were really killed by Ji Xun in Xixi?"
"Who else could he be? Everyone has been taken away."
"Keke, why did he want to harm Xixi?"
Of course, Shen didn't think Ji Xun was a good person, but she was full of doubts about Wang Xiucai.
