Because Li Cheng was able to get Ji Yunshu to help him solve the case, he felt very proud.
He walked with the wind.
In addition to his official robes, he looked even more impressive.
When he reached the autopsy room, he deliberately shook his sleeves.
The old official immediately stepped forward. "Lord Li."
"Yes."
"These two?" The old official looked at the two people behind him.
He was confused.
Li Cheng coughed and pointed at Ji Yunshu. He solemnly introduced them. "This is the expert I told you about! Not only can she draw portraits and restore the deceased's appearance, but she can also solve strange cases. This official spent a lot of effort to get her to come over and help. "
He slightly raised his chin as he spoke.
Ji Yunshu emphasized.
She took small steps forward and raised her hand to greet the crowd. "This humble one's surname is Ji. I'm not an expert, just a painter who knows how to draw people's lives."
Li Cheng immediately said, "Young Master Ji, you don't need to be so humble. I've already told them about your abilities."
Big mouth!
Ji Yunshu was speechless.
Everyone's gaze fell on her. Most of them were suspicious.
In their opinion, those who came into contact with the dead were mostly uncouth men and older men. How could there be someone as fair and clean as Ji Yunshu?
At first glance, she was clearly a weak scholar.
Autopsy to solve the case?
Was this a joke?
But no one dared to voice their doubts in front of Li Cheng.
Li Cheng wanted to introduce Jing Rong.
But just as he was about to speak …
Jing Rong's face darkened. He coldly said, "No need."
That kind of coldness was even colder than the wind.
Li Cheng swallowed his saliva and could only give up.
At this time, the old coroner came forward and said to Ji Yunshu, "Teacher Ji, right? Lord Li mentioned you before and said that you know the deceased's situation. "
"You are?"
"I'm the coroner of this department."
"Oh." Ji Yunshu cupped her hands.
"Teacher is too polite. I've already examined the skull inside. The deceased was a 15-year-old girl, and the time of death was three years ago. It's the same as what you told Lord Li, but … Sir, you concluded that the deceased was drowned. Where did this come from? "
She directly said, "I can tell."
"Tell? How could he tell the cause of death? Sir, please don't talk nonsense. "
The smell of gunpowder was thick!
The old coroner was obviously trying to undermine her.
Ji Yunshu calmly replied, "If I didn't have complete confidence, how could this junior dare to speak nonsense in front of Old Sir?"
The old turtle paused.
Just as he was about to say something —
Ji Yunshu glanced at the autopsy room and asked, "Is everything inside?"
Li Cheng rushed to answer, "They are all here."
She nodded and turned to Jing Rong. "Wait for me outside."
Jing Rong nodded. "Call me if you need anything."
"Yes."
She went in.
The people of the City Division were also very curious, surrounding the entrance one by one.
The old coroner and Li Cheng followed behind them.
The old coroner wanted to see just how powerful the expert Lord Li was talking about was.
After entering, Ji Yunshu went straight to the skull covered with a white cloth. She took out a pair of gloves from her sleeves and put them on.
Lift the white cloth!
There were no changes to the skull as it lay quietly on the cold board.
Ji Yunshu picked up the skull and examined it carefully.
Her fingers lightly pressed on the occipital bone, nasal bone, mandible and other important parts of the skull.
She had an idea.
The old coroner saw that Ji Yunshu was very skilled in examining the bones.
But he still had some doubts.
He had been a coroner for so many years. In all of Gaoding, or even all of Huyi, there was no one better than him. How could such an extraordinary person appear out of nowhere?
He didn't believe it!
He just didn't believe it!
He asked, "Teacher Ji, how is it? Did you find anything? "
Ji Yunshu hugged the skull and said in a low voice, "The deceased was drowned."
"How can I tell?"
"The cause of death will directly cause changes to the human bones. If the deceased died a normal death, the bones won't change much. But if it's an unnatural death, such as death by burning, hanging, drowning, falling, etc., it will cause changes to the size of the bones after death."
"You're saying that the bones of a person will change after death?"
"Why? Old Sir doesn't know this? "
"It's not that I don't know, it's just that I've never heard of such a ridiculous theory." The coroner laughed disdainfully.
Ji Yunshu blushed with shame. "Old Sir, just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. This junior often works with the skeletons of the deceased and has some understanding of the structure of human bones. That's why I know this. You're a coroner and you examine the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys and brain. It's normal that you don't know. "
"You..." said the coroner, choking. "Well, then, tell me, what was the change in the skull of the deceased that led you to conclude that she was drowned?"
Every time Ji Yunshu conducted an autopsy, she would inevitably explain these 'messy' theories to others.
This time was no exception.
The old coroner's question was exactly what everyone wanted to know.
All of them stared at her.
Li Cheng moved closer to her so that he could hear more clearly. Ji Yunshu explained, "If a drowned person dies, the greatest changes to the bones after death would be the nasal bone and the lower maxilla. First, the nasal bone would move upwards, causing the frontal process on both sides to press against the lacrimal bone. Because of this, there would be a fine striate rupture. This phenomenon happens to occur at the distance between the frontal process and the lacrimal bone.
This happens. Secondly, the maxilla. When a person drowned, the maxilla would move slightly towards the nasal bone, causing the originally round, pear-shaped hole to shrink and deform, becoming concave and uneven. All of this is reflected in the skull of the deceased and can be seen with the naked eye. "
Everyone listened in a daze.
What the hell was this?
They didn't understand!
And —
Jing Rong, who was standing under the eaves outside, also heard Ji Yunshu's words.
However, his expression was one of worry.
Because the more outstanding Ji Yunshu was, the more people would be attracted to her!
Compared to him, Li Cheng was like a love-struck fool.
He stared at Ji Yunshu without blinking.
He knew that Ji Yunshu was a woman, but he never said it out loud.
He thought that if he could marry her, it would be the same as saving the Milky Way Galaxy in his previous life!
The old coroner was completely stunned.
He had been a coroner for decades and had seen all kinds of strange corpses. Even if he didn't see thousands, he had at least seen hundreds. However, he had never studied human bones to this extent. Even if Ji Yunshu tried hard to listen, he still couldn't make heads or tails of it.
He asked, "What you said … Do you have any proof?"
"If Venerable Sir doesn't believe me, you can find the skull of a normal person to compare. You can see if what I said is true or false. Or is it real proof? "
Since Ji Yunshu dared to say so, she naturally wasn't afraid of others verifying it.
