Xi Honglei couldn't help but froze as she listened to Ran Yunshang's words. The scene when she and Mu Yunmeng met Ran Yunpo that day immediately appeared in her mind.
He was pulled away by Ran Yunshang in a daze, Xi Honglei said nothing, and was quickly taken to Mu Yunmeng's residence by Ran Yunshang.
After entering the yard, the two of them came to the door of Mu Yunmeng's study without any obstruction. Xi Honglei followed Ran Yunshang and walked into the room casually. But when she saw Mu Yunmeng, he looked like a stranger.
When I looked at him, I still felt suddenly uncomfortable.
"What are you doing here?" Mu Yunmeng glanced sideways, her eyes red with tears, her eyes cold and emotionless. "Meet me by chance?"
Mu Yunmeng's straightforward words made Xi Honglei know clearly that he still cared about what he said when he saw Ran Yunpo that day. But, was that the main point that he should care about?
Xi Honglei frowned, strode to the desk, looked condescendingly at Mu Yunmeng, and sneered: "If you don't want people to admit that they are with you, then become stronger yourself, otherwise you can't blame anyone."
.In the situation that day, it’s clear at a glance who I should choose between you and Prince Chu to be safe and sound. Isn’t it?”
Xi Honglei's words made Mu Yunmeng's expression become colder and colder, and made Ran Yunshang, who was confused over there, swallow his saliva and did not dare to say anything. Because the atmosphere between the two people was really...
It's so weird...
"No one forces you to admit that you know me, and no one forces you to come to my place. Since Miss Xi is so reluctant, wouldn't it be a better choice to leave here now?"
Mu Yunmeng's counterattack made Xi Honglei's expression suddenly stunned.
Xi Honglei looked at Mu Yunmeng with gloomy eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled over by Ran Yunshang from behind.
"What are you doing?!" Ran Yunshang's eyes flickered back and forth between Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei, and he frowned and said, "It's not easy to come here once, don't make any noise."
Xi Honglei suppressed the anger in her heart and glanced at Mu Yunmeng. Xi Honglei turned around and walked to a chair aside to sit down without saying anything. Mu Yunmeng didn't say anything else.
A tense atmosphere silently surrounded the room. If it hadn't been for the appearance of people from the county government, Ran Yunshang really thought that it would have been so quiet forever.
"Sir, we found another female corpse by the river in the west of the city!"
The words of the person coming made Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei immediately become nervous. Mu Yunmeng stood up quickly, followed the person out of the room, and walked towards the place where the incident occurred. Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang were not idle either.
, followed Mu Yunmeng and left the room together.
After arriving at the scene of the incident, Ran Yunshang, who had never seen such a scene before, couldn't bear the female body that had just been fished out from Hanoi. She quickly ran to the side, squatted on the ground and vomited. Xi Honglei stood there calmly, looking at
He looked sharply at the female corpse, mentally calculating the time of her death.
"Where is Wu Zuo? Why haven't you come yet?" Mu Yunmeng asked in a cold voice to the people around him.
"My lord, I'm feeling unwell and bedridden, so I can't come over right away."
Feeling unwell and bedridden.
Xi Honglei silently repeated these eight words in her heart, and then remembered the performance of the coroner that day, and couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth with a sarcastic smile. It is useless to keep such a coroner, so it is better to replace him as soon as possible.
Without the work, the body cannot be disposed of immediately. Being sent to Yizhuang can only make some of the evidence on the body less clear as time goes by. Thinking of this, Xi Honglei bit his head in embarrassment.
Lower lip. When he saw those people lifting the body and preparing to send it to Yizhuang, he felt the urge to investigate the case quickly, which made Xi Honglei suddenly say: "Wait a minute!"
Following Xi Honglei's words, everyone's eyes shifted to her. Xi Honglei looked straight at Mu Yunmeng, then walked to his side and whispered: "I'll do the autopsy."
"You?" Mu Yunmeng opened his eyes wide and looked at Xi Honglei in surprise. After confirming that Xi Honglei was not joking, Mu Yunmeng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked quietly: "You can?"
"I know some ways. If the body is removed, a lot of evidence will disappear, which will be detrimental to the investigation." Xi Honglei nodded decisively, then lowered his eyes hesitantly, thought for a while, and said: "This matter cannot be left to the public.
Others know, should I go back and change into men's clothes before coming back..."
Xi Honglei's thoughts kept Mu Yunmeng silent for a long time. When he wanted to speak, Xi Honglei had already turned around and was about to change clothes. Mu Yunmeng could only stand there with a frown, waiting for Xi Honglei to come back. Because
He really wanted to see with his own eyes what Xi Honglei could do.
Xi Honglei appeared in Mu Yunmeng's sight again, which was a bit shocking.
Her long hair was tied up high, and her flowing hair flowed smoothly down her back. The lavender robe made her red and tearful complexion look fair. The feet of the robe were turned up and tucked into the white jade belt around her waist. Her facial features were delicate.
With a touch of handsomeness.
Xi Honglei walked up to Mu Yunmeng, raised her face and smiled, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Let's go."
Mu Yunmeng's eyes darkened, he glanced up and down at Xi Honglei's outfit, and slowly followed Xi Honglei to the female corpse.
Xi Honglei knelt down, rolled up his sleeves, frowned and carefully inspected the female body, then turned to look at Mu Yunmeng and said, "She has been dead for at least two days. From the appearance, it is not clear whether she died of poisoning.
Further inspection is required."
Mu Yunmeng nodded and asked, "How did you calculate this time?"
"When the skin of the hands and feet becomes soft, swollen, and becomes white and shriveled. If it appears on the palms and soles of the feet, the time of death is about one day; if it appears on the back of the hands and insteps, the time of death is about two days. It is written in these books.
"
After Xi Honglei finished speaking, he lowered his head and carefully inspected the body. Mu Yunmeng, on the other hand, silently followed Xi Honglei's every move.
Xi Honglei looked at the female corpse in front of her with some embarrassment. Ancient times were different from modern times. She couldn't dissect the corpse unscrupulously to check what she wanted to know. So all she could do now was to start from the outside of the corpse.
There was obviously a deep purple mark on the throat of the deceased. Was he strangled to death? Or did he kill the deceased first and then make such an illusion to deceive others?
Xi Honglei took a deep breath, stood up straight, and said to the official beside Mu Yunmeng: "Go and buy some things for me."
After ordering the man, Xi Honglei calmly waited for him to come back. When the official ran to Xi Honglei panting, Xi Honglei took the things she needed, smiled slightly, and drove away the unnecessary man.
Go to a remote place and seriously begin the first step of the real autopsy.
There are no scars on the surface of the body, but it does not mean that there were no wounds before she died. Apply vinegar to the suspicious areas of the body, soak up the red tears with freshly oiled silk, and cover the parts that need to be examined. After a while
, Xi Honglei first looked at the sun, and then looked at it through the silk. After she saw what she wanted to see, she looked back at Mu Yunmeng, smiled sweetly, and said, "Come here."
Mu Yunmeng approached Xi Honglei without knowing why. Following the direction of Xi Honglei's finger, he saw the scars on the corpse that were not visible at first.
His body was frozen in place, Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei thoughtfully, breathing a little heavy.
"The deceased was beaten before she was alive. Although the scar on her neck was deep, it was not fatal. It was the wound inside her head that caused her death."
After a short pause, Xi Honglei said with a heavy expression: "She was driven into the head with a long nail. One blow was fatal. We can only confirm so much now, and you still need to check the rest."
After listening to Xi Honglei's words, Mu Yunmeng left expressionlessly. After ordering his subordinates to return the body to the government office and posting a message to find someone to claim the body, Mu Yunmeng turned his attention to Xi Honglei again.
.And Ran Yunshang, who had been hiding aside because of fear of the corpse, quickly ran to Xi Honglei's side, looked at Xi Honglei with fear, and said half in admiration and half in confusion: "Honglei, you are so awesome.
!How did you do an autopsy?!"
Xi Honglei pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes sparkling, and she said in a brisk tone: "Because I have always wanted to be a policeman, but I am a girl, so I had to read some books secretly, but I didn't expect that one day I would be able to send someone to the police.
Come in handy."
"An agent?" Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei doubtfully, "Why an agent?"
"Everyone has his own ambitions, what's so strange about it? Just like you want to live your whole life without fighting against the world, no one can explain why, right?" Xihong told lies to deceive Mu Yunmeng without changing her face, with tears in her eyes.
and Ran Yunshang. Firstly, they were sure that the two of them could not doubt their identities, and secondly, they were convinced that they could not think of any other place to go except their own explanation. After all, a girl could do autopsies, and she was also the daughter of Xiyuanshan.
It's really unreasonable.
"This matter... don't let other people know." The smile on Xi Honglei's face gradually faded, revealing a look of embarrassment. "My father never knew that I was secretly reading those books. If he finds out,
, you will definitely be pissed to death.”
"I won't tell, I won't tell anyone!" Ran Yunshang nodded repeatedly and promised Xi Honglei swornly. Mu Yunmeng, under the glare of Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang, also nodded silently.
Because he was afraid of being recognized by others, Xi Honglei specially put some ash on his face after dressing up. After returning to Mu Yunmeng's residence, Xi Honglei washed his face and put on his original face.
clothes. After preparing to leave Huixi Mansion, I suddenly remembered something.
Quickly walking up to Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei said softly: "Don't even tell Leng Xiao about this matter. It's a secret between you and me, okay?"
