Ugh!
Du Mubai gave her a clue?
Why did that sound so terrifying?
Everyone couldn't help but be startled by her words.
The process of the autopsy was really exciting!
Li Cheng was excited. He took a few steps forward and asked, "What clues did he give you?"
Ji Yunshu looked at the white bones in the coffin. She reached her hand into the coffin and carefully took out a rib bone.
It lit up in front of everyone.
Some people took a few steps back in fear, while others couldn't help but let out a soft cry of surprise.
"This is?"
"Take a closer look. Don't you see three bumps of the same size on this rib?"
Everyone's gaze moved closer.
The three bumps were so small that if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice them at all. However, the attentive Ji Yunshu still noticed them during the autopsy.
"Indeed."
"Yes, there really is, but can this prove anything?"
"Yes, how can this prove who Du Mubai went to see before he died?"
Ji Yunshu explained, "As you can see, there are three bumps of the same size on the back of Du Mubai's ribs, and they are all in a line. The distance between these bumps is also the same, but they are not fatal wounds. Instead, it is where he hit before he died."
No!
No, no, no!
Li Cheng said, "But according to Du Mubai's file, when the coroner examined his body, he didn't find any traces of impact on his body. If these three points were caused by an impact, why didn't the coroner find it?"
"Has Crown Prince Cheng never heard of internal injuries?"
"Under normal circumstances, once a person is hit and bleeds, the bone will cave in. However, if there is no bleeding and the surface is normal, then when the bone is hit, it will cause internal injuries. The bone will not cave in, but will protrude. Du Mubai suffered internal injuries from the collision. That's why the coroner couldn't find any evidence.
The results are out. "
"I see." Li Cheng then asked, "Then where did he hit?"
Ji Yunshu took the rib bone and examined it.
He couldn't help but frown.
She slowly added, "It's like … hitting the nail on the door."
Doornail?
Li Cheng: "What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu shook her head and pondered. "That's not right! Normally, the distance between the nails is very wide. It's impossible to leave three protrusions on a person's ribs. At most, it would be two! "
She denied her own guess again!
If not, then what could it be?
No one said anything.
He waited quietly for her to speak. Ji Yunshu put the rib back into the coffin and took off her gloves. She said in a serious tone, "In short, the things he hit were similar to the nails on the door, but they were denser than the nails. I guessed that Du Mubai must have known that he had taken or drunk some kind of drug.
But just as I was about to get up and leave, I lost my balance and fell backwards. I hit something that looked like a nail, and that's why there are three bumps on my ribs. "
With this, Li Cheng finally understood. He said, "I understand. In other words, as long as we can find that place, we can find out where Du Mubai met the murderer. Maybe we can even find the murderer."
"That's right!"
Li Cheng was excited and immediately asked an official, "Do you understand?"
The official nodded.
"Then hurry up and investigate."
"Yes!"
The official was about to go.
Suddenly, a voice called out, "Wait!"
He turned to look.
He saw Na Yan walking over with a thought-provoking smile on his face. He walked in front of Ji Yunshu and clapped his hands. "Worthy of the legendary Teacher Ji! You were able to see so many things from just a set of bones. "
Ji Yunshu also politely replied, "In fact, it's very simple. As long as you look carefully, it's not difficult to find out."
Hearing her words, the old coroner's face turned red.
If he were to investigate, he wouldn't be able to find these things.
His heart was filled with shame.
He had worked for dozens of years in vain!
He just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and be done with it.
Na Yan said, "No wonder Lord Huang and the other officials from the Ministry of Justice were dismissed. It's no wonder that they couldn't even find this kind of thing. They deserved it!"
Previously, he was still filled with resentment because his men had been dismissed. Now that he was saying these words, there was a sense of righteousness in his words.
Ji Yunshu replied, "In fact, some things can only be seen from human bones. At that time, Du Mubai was still a body, so it's normal that he couldn't see it. Even if I were to investigate back then, I might not have been able to find anything."
"Teacher is really modest!"
The two of them spoke one after the other.
Li Cheng was anxious. "Second Prince, now that we have a clue, I'll send someone to investigate. Why do you stop me?"
"Good question." Na Yan suddenly smiled and looked at Ji Yunshu. "However, this prince still has some things that I don't understand. I hope Teacher Ji can explain them one by one."
Ji Yunshu replied, "Please ask, Your Highness."
"What Teacher Ji said just now, for example, if a person eats something with a knockout drug, the surface of their bones will become soft. This … this prince has never heard of it. Is there any proof? "
There was proof!
But this outdated ancient method couldn't be used to prove it.
Every time she explained something, she had to use the ancient language to explain it to them.
For example, the three medicinal herbs she just mentioned – datura, magnolia, and belladonna. In modern times, they could be described as scopolamine.
As for Na Yan's question, she needed to prove it with an experiment!
But there was none here!
After thinking about it, Ji Yunshu felt a little awkward. But on the surface, she had to remain calm and said, "Your Highness, I never talk nonsense."
"If that's the case, then show me the evidence. Otherwise, it will be hard to convince this prince."
'This person is here to cause trouble!'
While Ji Yunshu was in a dilemma, Jing Rong immediately stepped forward and shielded her with his arm. He coldly said, "Even if Teacher Ji can't prove it, he can't prove that what he said is wrong!"
Ah!
Na Yan looked at him. "So?"
"In this situation, do you think there's any other choice besides trusting Teacher Ji, Second Prince?"
Jing Rong retorted.
Na Yan was dumbfounded by the question. Jing Rong continued, "In short, regardless of whether it's true or false, you can only believe it! Right now, everyone in Gaoding is waiting for the result. When the time comes, won't it be over? Of course, this case belongs to the imperial court. If you don't believe it, we will leave immediately.
We will never touch this case! "
His expression was cold and severe.
His voice was heavy.
It was filled with anger.
His eyes were filled with an oppressive aura that could suck people's souls.
