Chapter 198: The Eyes of the Law
As the year drew to a close, the officials in the government office became more disorganized and impetuous.
Sun Shaozong was no exception. He was always absent-minded while on duty in recent days - but it was not because the New Year was approaching, but because Ruan Rong's due date was approaching.
You have to know that giving birth is a hurdle for women these days. If things go wrong, it may result in two deaths.
Therefore, Sun Shaozong was always worried, and even if he hired five midwives to wait at home, it did not provide much relief.
Apart from that, there was still no news from Wang Xifeng, which made Sun Shaozong feel a little uneasy. He wondered if this woman would really give up on him and choose someone else to make fortune together?
During this period, he went to Rongguo Mansion twice under the pretext of discussing the marriage, but Wang Xifeng and Ping'er were women living in seclusion after all. If they did not take the initiative to pass on the news, it would be difficult for him to pass the news in.
As for this deal, Sun Shaozong and Wang Xifeng both did not want the Jia family to get involved, so it would be impossible to pass the message through Jia Lian.
So after trying twice, he could only wait and see.
But it is said that early in the morning, Sun Shaozong had finished his official business and was killing time by reading the court newspaper when he suddenly saw a man break open the door and jump in like a wild monkey. Who else could it be but Qiu Yunfei?
Then he heard him urging in a hurry: "Quick, quick, go to the morgue and take a look. Old Xu found that there are two roads that are not..."
"go out."
Sun Shaozong uttered two words in a bland tone, and then choked back what Qiu Yunfei was about to say.
Qiu Yunfei glared at him for a long while, but when he saw that he didn't even raise his head, he was so angry that his teeth itched. In the end, he could only retreat obediently, close the door again, and knock on it a few times.
Sun Shaozong then put down the newspaper in his hand and said, "Come in."
Qiu Yunfei walked in with a sullen face. Although his nose was not a nose and his face was not a face, the words he said seemed much more polite: "Master Sun, there are two bodies in the morgue that look a little strange. Old Xu would like you to go over and take a look."
"oh."
Hearing that it was the coroner's intention, Sun Shaozong stood up and said, "I'll clean up first, you go outside and call Zhao Wuwei."
Qiu Yunfei turned around and left without saying anything. When he reached the outer room, he spat viciously and muttered, "Pah! What a jerk!"
Turning back, he saw Cheng Rixing looking at him awkwardly, so he glared at him and said, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and tell me who that damn 'Zhao Wuwei' is!"
Stop talking nonsense.
A moment later, Sun Shaozong took Zhao Wuwei and Qiu Yunfei and rushed to the morgue in the backyard.
Along the way, Qiu Yunfei kept his mouth shut and refused to say even a single word.
When they got to the yard, he pouted and sneered, "Master Sun, Old Xu only took a glance and saw that there was something wrong with the two corpses. You are a world-famous 'divine judge'. Why don't you just stand in the yard and take a look from a distance, so that people won't say that you are overrated and not even as good as a coroner!"
Sun Shaozong seemed not to hear anything and continued to stride forward.
Qiu Yunfei became even more excited when he saw this. He followed and challenged him: "If you don't even have this much confidence, how can you be a judge of the Divine Judgment? Pah!"
As soon as he spat, he saw Sun Shaozong suddenly stop in front of the door of the main room.
"What do you want to do?!"
Qiu Yunfei hurriedly jumped far away, standing on guard vigilantly.
Sun Shaozong seemed to be stunned for a long time, and suddenly said with certainty: "These two dead people had their limbs broken and then froze to death!"
No way?!
Did you really see that?!
Qiu Yunfei was stunned immediately, and suddenly screamed after a while: "Fuck you, you... you really have the Yin-Yang Eyes!"
When he had just provoked him, he had already exaggerated and tried his best to flatter Old Xu - but who would have thought that Sun Shaozong actually just took a look at the door and accurately stated the cause of death of the deceased!
If this isn’t the Yin-Yang Eyes, what else could it be?
Sun Shaozong glanced at him with disdain and said, "The characteristics of this corpse are so obvious, why would you need the Yin-Yang eyes?"
Having said that, he walked in on his own.
Zhao Wuwei gave Qiu Yunfei an apologetic smile and followed him in.
Not the Yin-Yang eyes?
Qiu Yunfei also followed Sun Shaozong's example and stood at the door of the main hall, staring carefully at the two bodies placed on the bed, but he could not figure out how the two people died.
If he had not been the one who went to call the people in person just now, Qiu Yunfei would have thought that Sun Shaozong had used some cheating method. Otherwise, how could he have known how the two people died by just one glance at the door?
As expected, he is still using the Yin-Yang eyes, right?
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Sun Shaozong say, "The exposed skin of these two people was severely frostbitten, but their faces, hands, and even torsos did not show any signs of frostbite or edema, which shows that they were frozen to death in a very short period of time."
"Their limbs and joints are swollen, stretching their sleeves and trouser legs tightly."
"Generally speaking, the first parts to swell due to frostbite are the hands and feet that are exposed to the outside. In this case, we can only infer that the joints suffered trauma before the frostbite."
"Combining the above, it shouldn't be too difficult to infer that they had their limbs broken and then froze to death, right?"
Qiu Yunfei is not a fool. After hearing this, he knows that Sun Shaozong is talking to him, right?
Although he couldn't help but be convinced by this reasoning, he absolutely refused to bow to Sun Shaozong, so he shrank his neck and pretended not to hear it.
The coroner, Old Xu, had no such scruples. After seeing Sun Shaozong taking a look outside the door, he deduced most of the situation and could not help but admire him: "Your Excellency really has a sharp eye. According to the results of my investigation, these two people were indeed beaten to death after their limbs were broken and then poured with wine."
After a pause, he added, "However, because the body was frozen, the fracture marks were not very obvious, so the people from the Ministry of Health mistook it for an ordinary road accident and sent it to our house - this can be considered an accident."
Sun Shaozong nodded and asked again: "Besides this, did you find any other clues when you examined the body just now?"
Qiu Yunfei couldn't help but challenged him again: "Don't you have a keen eye? Take a look for yourself..."
Pah~
Without waiting for Qiu Yunfei to finish, Sun Shaozong, who had been ignoring him, slapped him in the face with his backhand, causing Qiu Yunfei to stagger and almost fall to the ground!
"you……"
He covered his face in astonishment and said, "You...you dare to hit me?!"
"If you were just making noise in private, I would not bother to pay attention to it." Sun Shaozong said calmly: "But now that you have delayed official business, I have no choice but to punish you a little!"
By leaving him in the morgue and ignoring him for the past few days, Sun Shaozong has roughly tested General Qiu's determination and bottom line - as long as it is done in the name of official business, beating him a few times is nothing.
Old Xu at the side also consoled him: "Forget it, Lord Sun didn't use much force anyway, otherwise your brains would have been beaten out."
Qiu Yunfei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was considered a relief? !
I was just about to argue with Old Xu to let him know who is close to whom.
Who would have thought that after Old Xu said this, he no longer paid attention to Qiu Yunfei, but said solemnly: "Master Sun, I did find a strange place just now, but it is difficult to confirm whether this is a clue or not."
