Volume 2: Female Corpse in Monk's Clothes Chapter 106: Special Autopsy (Part 2)

Half an hour later, in the side courtyard of the county government office.
The candlelight is bright.
After the low rustling sound ended, the yard became deathly silent.
Xu Zun stood beside the Taoist nun, holding an oil lamp. He had many doubts in his mind but did not dare to ask any questions.
Although he was a policeman in his previous life, he had never seen an autopsy scene and had only seen it on TV dramas.
He had learned about the human body structure from books, but now he felt completely blank.
"The main organs in the body were cut off , and the deceased died of exhaustion." At this time, the Taoist nun looked at the body and said, "In addition, the murderer took measures to stop the bleeding, and the method was quite professional."
"Professional technique..." Xu Zun wondered, what kind of person could have such a technique?
"Also," the nun continued, "the deceased's mouth was purple, probably because the murderer forced him to drink Yin Ding powder."
"Silver Tripod Powder?" Xu Zun searched his memory but came up empty-handed. He hurriedly asked, "What is this?"
"It's a relatively rare anesthetic," the nun said. "After taking it, it can make people fall into a deep coma. If the ratio is not right, it can even cause death."
"Oh?" Xu Zun asked, "Where can I buy this?"
"There is nowhere to buy it," the nun said simply , "This thing has been banned since the previous dynasty. Only some royal-level medical clinics have it."
"Then...is there a place in Shangyuan City where we can get it?"
"That's your business!" The nun said bluntly, and then added, "Finally, there is one more thing. These two women have given birth before!"
"Oh," Xu Zun nodded at first, then came to his senses two seconds later and asked in surprise, "What did you say? Delivery? Have they given birth to a child?"
"The neck is flat," the nun said, "even without surgery, you can tell at a glance!"
this……
Xu Zun thought that Chen You’s second wife Xiaoying had never given birth to a child, while Ran Lin’s wife Lian Yusu was pregnant.
"Master... Taoist..." Xu Zun guessed a name and asked the Taoist nun, "One of the women already has..."
"I know ," the nun said, "I have just told you very clearly that these two women have given birth before."
"Oh...I understand...I understand..."
I said "I understand" but my mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts and doubts.
"To suture the wound, you can use the coroner from your government office." The nun washed her hands in the basin beside her, turned around and left.
"Um……"
Xu Zun actually had many more questions he wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask them. When he wanted to thank the Taoist nun again, she had already disappeared.
The air was dead silent. The Taoist nun seemed to come and go without a trace, making Xu Zun feel as if he was dreaming.
However, this autopsy clearly revealed some important discoveries.
One was the Yinding Powder which could cause people to fall into coma, and the other was that the two deceased had actually given birth.
Shouldn't it?
Although Xiaoying was a concubine, it was her first marriage to Chen Younai, so how could she...
And Lian Yushu, she and Ran Lin had been married for only a short time, how could she have…
Why?
Lian Yusu's family is a wealthy and powerful family, but Mr. Lian actually married his daughter to a man named Wu Zheng. Is there something wrong here?
And Xiaoying, Chen You is just an official in the Yu family, and she is already quite old. How could her parents let her go to the Chen family to be a concubine?
Could it be that...
Suddenly, Xu Zun felt his blood boiling and he was extremely excited.
Because, he suddenly figured out a question, the reason why Monk Liankong chose those victims from among the many women who came to burn incense ten years ago, was it... also because of such a condition!!?
The women who were killed were all because they had given birth to children secretly...
Good job!
Could this be the most crucial point in the case of the female corpse in monk's clothes?
The next morning, Xu Zun found himself waking up in the office. When he woke up, Zhao Yu, Huo Anu, Tai Min, Ju Ran and others were already there.
Zhao Yu was about to discuss today's investigation with Xu Zun, but Xu Zun also grabbed him and said:
"The situation has changed. I'll go check it out with you..."
Originally, Taimin had prepared a sumptuous breakfast, but Xu Zun had no intention of enjoying it, and immediately took Zhao Yu and others and headed straight to Xiliu Hutong.
As there was no body, the funeral became increasingly deserted, with only a few close relatives still keeping vigil in the mourning shed.
When Chen You saw Xu Zun, he naturally asked the same old question, when the body could be sent back?
This time, Xu Zun was no longer polite to him, but directly asked him a soul-searching question:
Do you think that giving her a safe burial is more important than finding out the truth and finding the murderer ?
Chen You was speechless, but Xu Zun was not questioning him today.
Soon, Xu Zun found Xiaoying's father, the groom in the military camp, and took him to a deserted place in the alley, and asked bluntly:
"Tell me, did your daughter have a child before she married Chen You?"
"ah!?"
Hearing this, the groom was still scolded and his face turned purple.
"No... no, sir, why do you say that..."
"Your daughter is dead!" Xu Zun suddenly shouted, "She might have been killed by this secret. Do you still want to hide it?"
"This...this..." The coachman was trembling, obviously still hesitating.
"You are so stubborn. That's enough," Xu Zun turned around and tried to leave. "I'll go talk to Chen You!"
"No, no, sir..."
Puff!
The groom knelt on the ground in front of Xu Zun, tears streaming down his face, and said, "Although my daughter is dead, this is still a matter of reputation. I hope you can show some mercy."
"Tell me the truth first and see if I need to show mercy!" Xu Zun put his hands behind his back, also a little excited.
In order to make it easier for the groom to tell the truth, Zhao Yu and Huo Anu were guarding the entrance of the alley so as not to hear their conversation clearly.
"My daughter... ah... I am also a miserable person..." the groom cried, "Three years ago, because I was sick, my daughter came to the military camp to bring me some medicine.
"But I didn't expect to be in such a disaster. I was... wuwu... ruined by a few drunk soldiers..."
ah?
Xu Zun was surprised. He didn't expect this to be the case.
"I have been raising horses in this army for more than 20 years, so I have some experience in the ways of the world.
"When the army commander found out, he severely punished those soldiers and convicted them in the army. One was beaten to death on the spot, and the other two were sent to the border.
"In order not to affect my daughter's reputation, all the actions were carried out in secret and no one outside knew about it.
"But, the unfortunate thing is that my daughter is pregnant... Alas..." The groom sighed, "I originally found a doctor to abort the fetus, but the doctor said that my daughter has been weak since childhood. If the fetus is aborted forcefully, it may affect her future fertility. I can only... can only... Alas..."
"You can only give birth to the child?" Xu Zun asked, "What happened next?"
"Later, the child was born secretly, it was a boy, but... if outsiders knew about it, how could our family face others?" The groom said in a trembling voice, "We had no choice but to give the child away and keep it strictly secret.
"However, after this ordeal, we feel guilty and have no intention of marrying our daughter off to a rich man. So we had no choice but to ask someone to introduce her to Chen You as his second wife!
"However," the groom said, "Chen You loves my daughter very much. Although he has no children, his family tradition is very good and they are very happy. I thought my daughter would live a good life from now on, but I didn't expect that she would encounter such a sudden disaster...
"Wow..." The groom cried several times, and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Sir, what did you say just now? My daughter's murder is related to this matter, but not many people know about it?
"Even if I knew, I wouldn't be guilty of this crime and would I?
"Sir, you must make the decision for me..."
"Let me ask you," Xu Zun helped the groom up and asked, "where did you send that child?"
"Oh... nearby is not an option, and relatives are not reliable," the groom replied. "Finally, we sent him to a temple in Gu'nan County. Buddhism is compassionate, and only monks will take in abandoned children..."
