Was Wei Yi smart?
How could Wei Yi know anything about the autopsy room?
He could only cover his nose as Ji Yunshu pulled him in.
"Big Brother, it's not fun here."
Wei Yi furrowed his brows and pouted. He almost vomited the food he had just eaten!
"Be good and stand to the side. Don't move," Ji Yunshu said.
"Oh."
Despite his unwillingness, Wei Yi obediently retreated to the corner of the room and covered his nose.
Ji Yunshu secretly laughed. 'Who told you to eat so much?'
After a moment, she became serious again.
She put on a pair of white gloves and lifted the white cloth on the table.
The yin yang corpse's skeleton was revealed.
The yamen runners were very serious about their work. They even dug up the ground. The skeleton was still in its original state.
At this moment, Magistrate Liu and several yamen runners came in.
Magistrate Liu glanced at Wei Yi in the corner of the room. 'You're still bickering with me for eating your breakfast!'
Magistrate Liu walked to Ji Yunshu's side and asked, "Is this case tricky?"
"I'm not sure. After all, this skeleton has been here for two years." She put her gloved hands in front of her chest and asked, "Have you checked? Were there any missing people in Jinjiang two years ago? "
"The advisor is currently checking the family records. I've also sent people to investigate. There should be some results. However, Yunshu, we still have to wait for your portrait."
"The portrait of the skeleton will take some time. It should be ready the day after tomorrow."
"That's good. I'll also send people to check first so that you won't be too tired."
'Oh my, when did this Magistrate Liu become so eloquent?!'
She didn't want to delay any longer and began to examine the skeleton.
"The yin yang corpse's fatal injuries should be the twenty or so cuts on the ribs and shoulders. The cuts were from top to bottom. The murderer held the knife in a reverse grip and stabbed the corpse. Therefore, the injuries on the shoulder and ribs are the same. If that's the case, then the murderer must be taller than the corpse. Moreover, the corpse showed no signs of being poisoned and there were no fractures on the wrist. Before the corpse died, it must have resisted. If that's the case, then the murderer is most likely a man."
As he spoke, the others listened attentively.
Ji Yunshu's gaze moved from the upper part of the skeleton to the lower part of the skeleton. She placed her hand on the ankle and frowned. "The deceased's leg was injured?"
In order to be sure, she knocked on White Bone's ankle and ordered the yamen runner, "Go get some camphor juice and vinegar."
"Alright."
The runner hurriedly fetched the things she needed and placed them on the side.
Ji Yunshu took the bowl of camphor juice and poured it over White Bone's ankle. She found a piece of white paper, dipped it in white vinegar, and wrapped it around White Bone's ankle.
After waiting for a while, the white paper gradually turned red.
Everyone was puzzled.
"Teacher Ji, what's going on?" the runner asked.
She was not in a hurry. She took the white paper and held it in her hand. Suddenly, she called out, "Wei Yi."
Wei Yi, who was hiding in the corner of the room, trembled when he heard that. When Ji Yunshu lifted the pile of bones, he was already dumbfounded and his legs trembled violently.
He wished that there was a hole behind him so that he could crawl out!
After waiting for a long time for Wei Yi to respond, Ji Yunshu turned her head and looked at him with a serious expression. "Wei Yi, come here!"
"Big Brother, I'm scared."
"What's there to be afraid of? The ones you should be afraid of are the living!"
'Uh …'
The corners of everyone's eyes twitched.
Wei Yi lowered his head. Under Ji Yunshu's intimidating gaze, he moved his feet and walked over. However, he moved sideways, not daring to look at the pile of bones.
"Wei Yi, do you know what will happen if a person sprains their ankle?"
'What's the point of asking this for no reason?'
Wei Yi's head was still lowered. He replied in a low voice, "It'll hurt!"
"What else?"
"Then …" His eyes suddenly lit up. He raised his head and met Ji Yunshu's gaze. "Then, the ankle will turn red. After that, it will turn green, and then it'll be fine."
"That's right, Wei Yi. You're very smart."
"Thank you, Big Brother."
He completely forgot about the pile of bones.
Ji Yunshu raised the piece of paper in her hand and continued, "Then, you should remember what I'm about to say. No matter how long it's been, as long as you first sprinkle some camphor juice on the bones, then use a piece of paper dipped in white vinegar to wrap the bones, if the paper turns red, it means that the deceased was recently injured. If the paper turns green, it means that the wound must have been there for a long time. This method is used to determine whether the deceased was in a fight with someone before they died."
"Wei Yi, do you understand?"
Wei Yi's reaction time was a bit slow. In the end, he nodded and pointed at the piece of paper in her hand. He cried out in alarm, "I understand, Big Brother. He must have been injured recently."
"Not recently. He was injured just before he died!" Ji Yunshu sternly corrected him.
"Oh, I understand."
After confirming that he really understood, Ji Yunshu looked at the magistrate and the yamen runners and asked, "So, do you understand?"
Everyone nodded.
As she put down the piece of paper, Wei Yi retreated back to the corner of the room.
Ji Yunshu began to examine the remains of the clothes on the bones.
It was made of silk. No wonder it could be preserved for two years!
"Ordinary people's clothes are made of hemp. This kind of silk should belong to a wealthy family. It seems that this pile of bones belonged to a wealthy person."
She continued to examine the clothes. There were several holes on the clothes.
"There are several holes on the clothes. They should have been pierced by a sharp knife."
While she was examining the clothes, Magistrate Liu narrowed his eyes and whispered to her.
"Yunshu, why did you tell that idiot all this?"
'Hey, hey, hey! I was just talking about serious matters!
Magistrate, there must be something wrong with your brain! '
However, Ji Yunshu didn't get angry. Instead, the corners of her lips curled up and she coldly looked at Magistrate Liu.
"Milord, do you think that Wei Yi is smart?"
"Smart? Him? "She couldn't believe it." He's an idiot. "
Her voice was extremely low.
"But I don't think so. If he's properly trained, he'll become a good coroner."
"Ah?"
Magistrate Liu's eyes widened in disbelief. He glanced at Wei Yi. 'You're cowering there like a coward. Which part of you looks like a coroner?'
"Yunshu, don't tell me … you want to accept him as your disciple?"
"I'm thinking about it." Ji Yunshu raised her beautiful eyebrows.
He took off his gloves and patted them. Ignoring Magistrate Liu's dumbfounded expression, he instructed, "So far, this is all the information this skeleton has given me. Ask the advisor to record it down. Once we find out who this skeleton belongs to, we can use the information I've given us to find out who the murderer is!"
He nodded in a daze.
Ji Yunshu walked to Wei Yi's side and asked, "Do you like it here?"
He shook his head. "I don't like it."
"Then let's go."
She turned around and left. Wei Yi hurriedly followed her.
Behind them, Magistrate Liu's expression stiffened.
He was sure that he didn't hear wrong. Ji Yunshu wanted to accept Wei Yi as her disciple.
