Li Cheng was not a three-year-old child. Listening to his' crazy words', he had a clear idea of his own capabilities.
"Your Highness is overpraising me. I've just been promoted to the city's department and there are many procedures I don't understand. In the end, I'm just a new official. Whether I'm powerful or not, we'll know after this case is over. Besides, how can I compare to my father?"
He didn't want to be flattered! Moreover, he knew that the two brothers, Na Yan and Na Tuo, were fighting fiercely. His father was on the Third Prince's side, so naturally, he was secretly Na Yan's enemy. As the heir of Marquis Pingyang, he should also be on Na Tuo's side. Thus, Na Yan's visit this time was certainly not with good intentions.
。
He said he wanted to help, but he didn't know what he was planning.
He must be on guard. What Li Cheng didn't know was that Na Tuo had previously helped him in the Ministry of Justice and was able to reopen Du Mubai's case. Afterwards, Na Tuo had gone to the palace to complain about it. In the end, both Lord Huang and Lord Zhong had fallen from grace. Huang Zhong and Lord Zhong's master, Na Yan, had also suffered a blow.
Enough? Today, he came to see what was so strange about this case. He wanted to find a loophole and counter attack.
Na Yan smiled. "Heir Cheng is too modest."
Haha!
Na Yan glanced sideways at Ji Yunshu, who was interrupted by the bone examination. This was the first time he saw Teacher Ji.
He felt that this person exuded an elegant temperament.
His face was clean and tidy.
Compared to a scholar, compared to a scholar.
If he was a woman, he must be a peerless beauty.
What a pity!
He was a coroner! His lips curved into a smile. Ji Yunshu said, "In fact, I came today to see Teacher Ji, who is said to be able to draw portraits by touching bones. I heard that he wants to open the coffin and examine the bones to find the murderer who killed Du Mubai. I also want to see how Teacher Ji examines the bones. How to speak for the dead?
Yes! "
Ji Yunshu received his gaze.
She was unmoved.
She knew that Jing Rong went to see him.
Therefore, she absolutely could not touch this person in front of her.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Na Yan stood to the side, intending to stay and watch.
"Teacher Ji, I won't disturb you. You just need to examine the corpse."
Ji Yunshu remained silent and glanced at Jing Rong.
Jing Rong nodded at her.
He gestured to her to examine the bones in peace.
Ji Yunshu put these thoughts aside and decided to examine the bones.
Li Cheng looked at Na Yan with concern.
After all, he was a prince, so he couldn't just send people to chase him away.
At this time, Jing Rong thought of a brilliant plan.
He whispered to Li Cheng, "Send someone to find the Third Prince immediately!"
The Third Prince?
Why did he come?
Wasn't this place messy enough?
Just as Li Cheng was about to refute him, his brain spun rapidly.
Aiyo, this is a good idea!
Everything has its subjugation, and everything has its subjugation.
The only one who could suppress Na Yan was Na Tuo.
Li Cheng received the signal and immediately gave a look to the guard standing outside the door.
The guard was a smart man and immediately understood.
When no one was paying attention, he sneaked away.
Ji Yunshu examined Du Mubai's skeleton.
Very focused.
No one made a sound to disturb him.
However, the atmosphere in the autopsy room had changed.
From the moment they entered the room, the atmosphere became strange. Aside from Ji Yunshu, who was still in the mood to examine the corpse, everyone's mind seemed to be in a mess. Unbeknownst to him, Yan had suddenly appeared behind Jing Rong. He softly said, "Before, you said that this Prince had the intention to snatch Prince Cheng's daughter, which was why I invited you to be my retainer. You also said that a wise man with such a heart would not be able to achieve great things. This Prince thought about it the whole night in order to prove that this Prince didn't mean it.
Today, I have specially come to lend a hand. "
A weasel paying a New Year's greetings to a chicken.
Jing Rong smiled and replied, "As you wish, Your Highness."
"Young Master Jing, are you really not going to reconsider?"
"If you're not a caged bird, you won't stay in a cage."
"I hope that one day, Young Master Jing will look at this matter in a different way."
"Perhaps!"
The two of them talked to each other in silence.
No one else heard it.
Ji Yunshu was also carefully examining the bones.
First, she gently picked up the head and held it in her hands.
Then, she solemnly examined the skull to see if there were any abnormalities.
From time to time, she would press on the skull with her fingers.
This shocked the officials of the city department.
They had never seen anyone hold a skull like this, as if it was an exquisitely carved work of art.
The old coroner at the side didn't find it strange. After all, he had been in this profession for many years. Holding a skull in his hands was nothing.
What was strange about it?
He only asked, "How is it, Teacher Ji? You can draw a portrait from the skull. Is this person … Is he Du Mubai?"
In the past, the old coroner wouldn't have asked such a question.
But after witnessing Ji Yunshu's ability, he couldn't help but admire her.
If he were thirty years younger, he would have worshipped her as his master.
Ji Yunshu replied, "This skeleton's height and body shape are identical to Du Mubai's. Moreover, after he was buried that year, no one moved the coffin. Moreover, based on the general shape of the skull, it's undoubtedly him."
"What about the rest?"
"There are no scars or any abnormalities on the skull. As for the rest, it depends on the rest of the skeleton."
As she spoke, Ji Yunshu placed the skull to the side.
Then, she glanced at the person standing outside the door. When the person saw it, he immediately came in, holding an exquisite sandalwood box in his hand.
It was one of Ji Yunshu's treasures.
She took it, placed it on the table beside her, and opened it in front of everyone.
Inside, there were many knives.
Flat, wide, long, short, pointed, round … …
Moreover, the workmanship of the knives was very exquisite.
Looking at them, one would think they were works of art.
Little did they know …
Ji Yunshu picked out a leaf-shaped knife from the box, and was about to reach into the coffin.
The crowd didn't understand.
The coroner asked, "Teacher, do you want to …?"
"There are still clothes on the skeleton that haven't completely decayed. I have to remove the clothes first, then examine the bones."
"You can use your hands to gently remove the clothes. Teacher, you don't have to use a knife, do you?"
"Hands?" Ji Yunshu was shocked. Her large black eyes stared at the old coroner's serious face in disbelief. "Did you always examine corpses like this?"
"Ah?" The old coroner was taken aback. "It's not like this? Then what is it like? "
Everyone wanted to know.
The clothes on the skeleton could just be pushed away with his hands!
Why did he need to use a knife?
The onlooker, Na Yan, was also full of curiosity.
He wanted to listen carefully.
Ji Yunshu was speechless. She didn't expect this experienced old gentleman to be so sloppy when examining corpses.
