Volume 1 Zhangqiao Iron Coffin Chapter 15: The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes
Xu Zun discovered that there was a dark bruise on You Dalang's left shoulder and a less obvious bulge at the joint.
It seems... the shoulder joint of the corpse is dislocated.
Or...twisted?!
You Dalang is left-handed...
Xu Zun quickly thought of a possibility. If someone slammed You Dalang's head against the wall, his subconscious action would naturally be to use his hands to protect his head.
And if You Dalang's left shoulder is dislocated or broken, then...
Thinking of this, Xu Zun subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it.
However, when he saw the coroner Wang Shuncai opposite him, he still did not extend his hand, but turned his eyes away.
No… No…
In an instant, Xu Zun smelled the scent of conspiracy again.
Wang Shuncai looked old and weak, but his eyes were evasive and he would steal glances at him from time to time.
According to his memory, Wang Shuncai was the most experienced coroner in Xinye County. If You Dalang's shoulder was really dislocated or broken, there was no way he would not be able to detect it.
Could it be... that he did it on purpose?
“Sir, sir…” Seeing Xu Zun in a trance, Wang Shuncai asked, “Did you find anything? I am incompetent and I really can’t find out whether Manager You committed suicide or was murdered!”
"Well, it seems... I'm overthinking!" Xu Zun suppressed his inner impulse and said to Wang Shuncai, "Okay, you can go down! Leave the body here first, and send it to the charity cemetery for burial tomorrow."
"Yes!" Wang Shuncai said nothing more. He immediately packed up his autopsy tools and left in a hurry.
However, before leaving the autopsy room, he couldn't help but look back at Xu Zun, and then disappeared into the dark corridor of the prison.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Xu Zun quickly reached out to check You Dalang's shoulder joint.
With a pinch, Xu Zun's face changed color again.
really!
You Dalang's shoulder joint was obviously loose and protruding, obviously it had been twisted apart by someone!
What's even more shocking is that someone seemed to have forced the bone back into the joint, but because the joint was deformed, it was not completely pushed back.
The more you try to hide it, the more obvious it becomes! ?
Xu Zun glanced in the direction where Wang Shuncai left and felt that the one who wanted to stuff the bone back into the joint was most likely this coroner!
Given his abilities, it's impossible that he couldn't find such an important clue.
Why?
Why!?
Why do this?
Could it be that... he knows the truth about You Dalang's death?
Thinking of this, Xu Zun hurriedly checked You Dalang's other arm.
Unexpectedly, You Dalang's right shoulder joint was also dislocated!
Moreover, if you look closely, you can see marks of pinching on both of his arms.
Xu Zun was secretly shocked, as it seemed that someone had tied You Dalang's arms behind his back.
Could it be that...
You Dalang was really killed! ?
Wait…wait…
Xu Zun calmed himself down and wondered if You Dalang's arm might have been broken by the detectives while he was being taken to the yamen.
However, Zhao Yu had never reported a similar situation to him before.
Moreover, if that is the case, shouldn’t Wang Shuncai explain it to me?
Deliberately stuffing the bone back into the joint is obviously an attempt to cover up the truth!
Instantly, a picture emerged in Xu Zun's mind:
You Dalang was cursing loudly in the cell when someone outside suddenly opened the cell door and rushed in. He first tied his arms behind his back, then pressed his head and slammed it hard against the corner of the wall!
The force was so strong that You Dalang was killed on the spot...
Oh my god!
Xu Zun took a deep breath. What was hidden behind this case?
Why?
At this moment, Xu Zun suddenly felt something strange behind him, and hurriedly looked towards the depths of the dark corridor, where a black shadow seemed to flash by!
"who!!?"
Xu Zun rushed over quickly!
When he was undercover, he was often chased and hacked. If he hadn't run fast enough, he would have been killed.
However, when he chased out of the corridor, he did not see any dark shadows, but only saw two jailers on duty in the central hall.
One was snoring on the table, while the other was licking a candied haws with great relish.
Seeing Xu Zun appear in a hurry, the man eating candied haws stood at attention and asked, "Master Xu, are you done with the test?"
"You guys..." Xu Zun asked hurriedly, "Didn't you see anything just now?"
"No?" The jailer looked confused. "What's wrong? What is that? Are you referring to the coroner, Old Wang? He's gone!"
Hearing the question, the other jailer woke up slowly, his eyes half asleep.
Xu Zun frowned. There was only one way in and out of the prison. If there really was someone there just now, then the two jailers would not have failed to see it.
Could it be... that I am dazzled?
"Sir... Sir..." The jailer who was eating the candied haws seemed to have thought of something and asked in embarrassment, "Please don't joke with us! Someone just died in there. Please don't tell us that you saw something unclean. Don't scare us!"
this……
Xu Zun looked at the two men carefully and they didn't look like they were lying.
It's really a ghost!
Was it because I was hit on the head by You Dalang and I am hallucinating?
Xu Zun was confused and returned to the cell to check one by one.
But the prisoners in the cells were still groaning miserably, and most of them were lying in the smelly haystacks, not paying any attention to the situation outside.
Xu Zun asked a few prisoners a few questions, but the prisoners' answers were confused and vague, and he didn't get any useful information.
well!
Xu Zun sighed. He never expected that there would be so many unexpected circumstances in the case of You Dalang murdering his wife.
If You Dalang was murdered, then the nature of this case needs to be carefully considered...
…
When Xu Zun left the prison, it was already completely dark.
There were few pedestrians on the street, and Xu Zun returned to his residence alone.
When Xu Zun first came to Xinye County with the Shen family, he had been living in Shen Tiande's home.
When he became the county lieutenant, Shen Tiande bought a property next to the government office for him to live in.
On the one hand, it is for the convenience of Xu Zun's commute to get off work, and on the other hand, it is to allow Xu Zun to have his own house so that he can marry Shen Qian in the future.
In other words, strictly speaking, Xu Zun was not a son-in-law, but had the right to start his own family and career.
However, everything he got today was given by the Shen family, so he looked more like a son-in-law.
From this we can see that Shen Tiande really treats Xu Zun like a father and son, and regards him as his own son.
The house is just a stone's throw away from the government office, just around the corner.
But unexpectedly, just when Xu Zun was about to get home, he discovered something strange behind him.
After working undercover for many years, his intuition is sharper than that of ordinary people.
He could feel that someone was following him.
So, after turning the corner, he immediately hid in the shadows, wanting to see who was following him.
The night is silent and the autumn wind is still.
The whole street seemed to be quiet in an instant. Xu Zun concealed his breath and stared at the street corner .
He could feel that the person who was following him seemed to be on the other side of the street corner, very close to him.
However, he waited for a long time, but no figure appeared.
A few minutes later, Xu Zun seemed to sense something and suddenly rushed out!
A cool breeze blew by.
But the streets were empty, there was nothing at all...
