Chapter 674: The Number Doesn’t Match
There were countless voices in Jiang Fubao's ears.
Some people were even arguing.
She sneered but did not respond. She brought a stool from Kong's restaurant and stood on it, instantly becoming the tallest person here.
Speaking also sounds more powerful.
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the sound that was not loud just now could be heard throughout the entire alley when she stood on a high place.
"Everyone, be quiet. These small golden needles can't damage anything. They don't hurt a living person, so how can a dead person feel pain? You're trying to stop me in every possible way. Are you guilty? It's just a shallow needle. You don't even have to take off your clothes. I know the acupuncture points. Why don't you do it?
I'm afraid you don't have enough noodles in your stomach? If you don't give way, it means you are guilty! Will you give way or not? "
Jiang Fubao frowned and shouted.
Zhou Kui's face tightened.
He frantically thought of excuses.
Finally, he could only utter dryly, "So, even if I didn't eat the noodles, my wife drank the shredded pork soup! Yes, the soup was poisonous. The poison was in the soup, so naturally I couldn't spit it out. I was afraid that you would frame us. Since I couldn't spit out the noodles, I helped Kong's restaurant and said that the shredded pork noodles were not poisonous, so I stopped you."
As he spoke, Zhou Kui became more confident again.
This reason is simply perfect.
He admires himself.
"Hmph, you're talking nonsense. You just said she ate the noodles, but now she didn't eat them, right? Then let me ask you, who ate the noodles?" Meng Zhili, who had been silent all this time, spoke up.
He has been the county magistrate for so many years, so he knows it well.
These people know Meng Zhili better.
I didn't dare to interrupt.
Everyone turned back into quails, shrinking their necks and watching.
"Yes, my grandson ate it, but he is in good health, unlike my wife, who is old..."
Before he could finish, he was interrupted by Meng Zhili.
"You are still talking nonsense. There is no poison in your grandson's body, so how can there be poison in the noodles? I think you will not cry until you see the coffin. Come, arrest these people and torture them severely!"
Jiang Fubao was stunned.
These father and son really look alike.
The processing method is the same.
The next second, the Zhou family became noisy.
"Come here, can officials punish others at will? Everyone, take a look. My mother was clearly killed by the Kong family's food manor, but they refuse to admit it and use all kinds of reasons to protect the Kong family. Could it be that the two families are old friends? Or did the Kong family give you a lot of money as a gift? Everyone, remember, remember the face of this dog official..."
Zhou Kui knows how to manipulate people's hearts.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd started to make a commotion.
"Yes, you are right. The Kong family is indeed a family friend of the Meng family. Our county magistrate and the son of the Kong family were classmates."
"It's more than just this relationship. Have you forgotten? This shopkeeper Kong is the godfather of the little doctor, and the prefect is also the godfather of the little doctor. The Jiang family, the Meng family and the Kong family, after all, aren't they all one family?"
"The eldest granddaughter of the Jiang family has also married the son of the Kong family. They are indeed a family. No wonder Miss Jiang is helping the Kong family so much."
"Hey, why do people study so hard? Isn't it just for this moment? Being an official is so good. You can make anyone you want live and anyone you want die."
"Son, see, do you know why your father forced you to study? If you don't take the imperial examination, this Zhou family will be your fate. If you want to be a superior person, you must climb up first, otherwise you will be an ant that will be crushed to death."
"..."
The situation suddenly became uncontrollable.
Meng Zhili didn't expect this either.
He frowned and wanted to scold, but was stopped by Jiang Fubao.
"Wait a minute, uncle, do you know how long it takes for corpse spots to appear after death?"
The coroner was still here, and Jiang Fubao asked loudly in front of everyone.
"Yes, I know. If it's hot, it will appear in one to two hours, gradually. It will be slower in cold weather. The old woman died the night before yesterday, so the dark purple corpse spots on her body correspond to the time of her death. There is no doubt about that."
The coroner thought Jiang Fubao had misunderstood him and did not examine the body carefully.
"Then what if I put the body in the kitchen? Close the kitchen door, heat up the stove, and smoke it overnight, what will happen to the corpse spots?"
Jiang Fubao asked again.
The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, but then dropped in an instant.
No one noticed.
Just now, she took the golden needle and got closer, and she actually smelled the smoke from burning firewood coming from the coffin.
If he had really been dead for two days, how could the smell of smoke be so strong?
Moreover, there was not even the slightest smell of corpse.
After two days, no matter how cold the body was, it would not be preserved so well.
"If what the miracle doctor said is true, then within three hours at most, the corpse spots would have reached their current state."
The coroner answered her honestly.
"Have you checked your eyes?" Jiang Fubao asked again.
"I saw that the old woman's eyes were a little cloudy." The coroner nodded.
"Just some?" Jiang Fubao continued to ask.
After saying that, she walked directly to the coffin, reached out her hand, and pulled open the eyelids of the corpse.
After taking a look, she let go.
Then he took out a handkerchief, grabbed a handful of snow on the windowsill of the restaurant, wiped his hands with it, and threw the handkerchief away.
"Just now, when you examined it, was the rigor mortis severe?" Jiang Fubao asked the third question.
"It's okay, not too stiff. He's been dead for two days. This is normal. Rigor mortis will start to ease in one to two days, and her degree of rigor mortis is appropriate." The coroner was so impressed by Jiang Fubao's courage to touch the corpse that he almost prostrated himself.
Most of the people who work in their line of work have lost all their family members.
He was very brave and was forced to become a coroner in order to make a living. He usually stayed in the charity cemetery.
And the girl in front of me, how old is she, yet she dares to touch a corpse.
Anyone who sees this will exclaim in amazement at how courageous he is.
"That's right." Jiang Fubao smiled mysteriously again.
"Fubao, what do you mean?" Meng Zhili finally spoke.
His voice sounded doubtful.
I don’t understand why my goddaughter asked the coroner three times and even touched the corpse.
"The coroner said that the rigor mortis has begun to ease, but her eyes are not cloudy. You have to know that people's eyes cannot deceive you. I have heard that within three to six hours after death, the eyes will gradually become cloudy. As time goes by, the eyes will gradually become foggy and even difficult to see through.
But the old woman's eyes were just cloudy, which was enough to prove that she had died no more than six hours ago. But if she had really died only six hours ago, why had her rigor mortis eased? The heavy snow was freezing me, and it wasn't summer. Wasn't that contradictory? It could only mean that the time of death of the corpse was wrong! Someone deliberately concealed her time of death! And made it look like she had been dead for two days!"
