Grudge Breaker

Chapter 269: Autopsy (Part )
-
Xiao An was still wearing the maid's dress she wore when I first met her. She was lying peacefully on the plank bed in the charity cemetery with her eyes closed, a circle of water seeping around her.

There was no ferocious expression on her face, and her hair was wet but not too messy. At first glance, she seemed to be just asleep.

Surprisingly, even though he knew it was a "corpse", Song Weichen didn't feel scared.

She is now only concerned with finding the murderer! .
Song Weichen had a calm expression as she slowly walked to the plank bed where Xiao'an's body was placed and walked around her in circles. Wearing Mo Tingfeng's black cloak and a hood, she looked like a witch summoning the undead from underground, emitting an indescribable strange power.

This strange and powerful aura made Ding Heran, Ye Wujiu, Xu the coroner, and several apprentice coroners in the charity cemetery all silent, and they subconsciously stood by quietly.

Mo Tingfeng and Zhuang Yuheng naturally understood her and did not disturb her. They just stood farther away and observed Xiao'an's body.

……

Song Weichen was indeed retrieving the "witchcraft information" in his mind.

Although she is not a detective or a coroner, she has benefited from watching countless TV series related to solving cases and crime traces, such as "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", "Bones", "Criminal Minds" and so on.

It's just like using ancient poems by famous poets of all dynasties to instantly kill Ruan Mianmian. Although the content of these dramas is mostly fictional, the forensic knowledge, traceology, and description of criminal psychology in them are indeed meaningful.

At this moment, Song Weichen, who possesses all these complex knowledge points, is like Wang Yuyan in "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". Although his internal force is not effective, he is definitely an "academic" king who masters the top martial arts secrets.

……

"Mr. Xu, I want to ask you, from the perspective of the forensic doctor, oh, the coroner, where do you think the first scene of this murder was?"

"what?"

Coroner Xu was stunned by Song Weichen's sudden "question". He wondered in his heart what was wrong with this zither player. He spoke a lot of strange terms. Although he didn't understand them, why did he sound so powerful?

Invisibly oppressed by Song Weichen's aura, he did not dare to be negligent and his attitude became obviously cautious.

"Girl, what do you mean by 'first scene'?"

Song Weichen didn't even raise his eyes, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"Why, Mr. Xu, have you never read "Xi Yuan Lu"? Isn't this book to your profession the equivalent of "Lu Ban Jing" to the construction industry?"

"I didn't read much, and I can only remember a few sentences from it. The first sentence is 'Nothing is more serious than a capital punishment, nothing is more serious than the initial investigation, and nothing is more important than the initial investigation.'"

"This first situation refers to the 'first time', and the inspection refers to the 'first scene'. Just now in the meeting hall, Coroner Xu did not mention anything about the first scene. I wonder if you are forgetful or if you think it is not important at all?"

She was not a mean person, but after walking around Xiao'an's body for several times, Song Weichen thought that the coroner Xu's examination and conclusion were really hasty, and she wanted to put a damper on his "arrogance in his profession."
.
Although the ice cellar was freezing cold, Coroner Xu suddenly felt hot. A thin layer of sweat appeared on his temples, and the skin on his forehead was itchy due to the irritation. He had no handkerchief with him, so he had to wipe it with his sleeve.

"Lord Si Chen, this woman's murder case involves the eldest princess after all, and many of the details are sensitive and cannot be disclosed. Look at this..."

"Answer her."

Mo Tingfeng's voice was as cold as an ice cellar.

"Speak everything you know, and speak everything you know."

"Yes Yes……"

Coroner Xu wiped his forehead with his sleeve again and took two steps towards Song Weichen. All his sense of class superiority disappeared and his attitude obviously lowered.

"My dear, the body of this woman was found between the water columns of the 'Wang Jiangnan' pleasure boat. Because the body floated along the river, there is no trace of where it fell into the water, so we will identify the pleasure boat as the primary scene."

"Hahaha! Cough, cough!"

Song Weichen was so angry at what the coroner Xu said that she laughed out loud and started to choke and cough. She raised her hand to stop Mo Tingfeng from coming forward to support her out of concern, and at the same time she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, trying to calm down the surging blood and energy.

"Mr. Xu, this is how you do the 'initial love test'. It really opened my eyes. If Master Song Ci heard what you said, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to hold down his coffin!"

"I am not talented, so I will show my ugliness here."

"Although Xiao'an's body was found in the water column of the pleasure boat, it is definitely not the first scene. It is at most a second scene. Did you not understand again? It doesn't matter. I will explain it to you. The so-called first scene refers to the place where the crime occurred, and the second scene refers to the scene where the murderer moved the victim or his stolen goods after the crime was committed." "It is obvious that Xiao'an did not drown in the pleasure boat. On the one hand, the water street was crowded with people and there were many eyes. If the murderer committed the crime at that time, it would be difficult for others not to notice it. On the other hand, Lord Si Chen hosted a banquet for the princess. For such a major event, the mansion must have sent people to check the pleasure boat many times in advance. It is impossible that Xiao'an's body was not found."

"So there is only one possibility. Xiao'an's body appeared there only after we arrived and all irrelevant people on the pleasure boat were cleared out."

When Song Weichen said this, she took a step closer to Coroner Xu. There was no trace of her usual childish cheerfulness in her voice, instead, it was filled with the oppressive feeling of a queen.

"Mr. Xu, are you still following me?"

"Follow me, follow me, you have a lot of insights, I admire you!"

Coroner Xu bowed repeatedly and wiped the sweat off his face frantically while bending over.

Song Weichen sneered softly, the sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone around to hear clearly - she was determined to embarrass him.

The dead cannot speak, and the coroner is the last chance for the dead to appeal to the living world. However, he did nothing and relied on his so-called qualifications and past experience to hastily conclude the case out of arrogance and against the rules.

To put it more harshly, if the murderer was a massacrer in his lifetime, then it was the incompetent coroner who caused the victim to really die.

……

"Since you can still understand and follow me, I will continue."

"Where is the first scene of this murder? This question is very important. To determine whether a murder case is suicide or homicide, evidence is necessary, and this evidence is very likely to appear at the first scene. Have you heard of 'Rocard's Law'? Oh, you definitely haven't heard of it. Coroner Xu only needs to remember eight words: Where there is contact, there will be traces left."

"Although Xiao'an's body was not found at the first scene, isn't it your duty as a coroner to conduct a 'primary investigation' to infer the cause and make the body speak?"

Having said this, Song Weichen took another step closer to Coroner Xu. For some reason, the latter felt a little frightened and shrank back unconsciously.

"Now I would like to ask Coroner Xu to examine it again carefully and tell me where you think the first scene is?"

"This...I..."

How could Coroner Xu still not understand that this crazy girl was clearly trying to intimidate Mo Tingfeng in front of him? Where did he offend her, and why did she keep nagging him?
Having worked as a coroner in the government office for many years, how could he not know that among all homicides that still leave relatively intact bodies, cases involving water are the most difficult to judge - water can erase all original traces of the crime, and the body will drift with the current, so it is not easy to rely on an autopsy to identify the primary crime scene!
Thinking of this, Coroner Xu straightened his back. Even he couldn't judge the first scene of the drowned corpse case, so how could this little girl, who was still wet behind the ears, do it?

Not to mention that Sang Pu was just a zither player in Si Chen Mansion. Even if she was a gifted butcher who had worked under top coroners since childhood, she would never be able to do it!

Thinking of this, Coroner Xu became much calmer. He straightened his back and bowed to Song Weichen.

"Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge and skills, which are not as good as yours. Miss Sang is so wise, I believe she has already seen where the first scene of the water corpse case is. Please don't hesitate to teach me."

What a great move to turn retreat into advance!

I'm not saying I can do it, but you shouldn't just talk the talk and not practice. You've taken advantage of Lord Si Chen by trying to please him. If you have the ability, show me your real moves - the provocation in Xu's eyes couldn't be more obvious.

Song Weichen smiled faintly, neither anxious nor annoyed, as if he had already expected that Coroner Xu would act like this.

"In that case, I will show off my ugliness by wielding a large axe in front of Lu Ban's door."

She asked Zhuang Yuheng for a pill made of Huangquan Sun Grass and took it. She also asked him to give her another acupuncture treatment on several acupoints including Baihui, Sishencong, Shenting, Benshen, Chengjiang, etc. - she had to have enough energy to fight.

Then she secretly mobilized the fire power in the puppet to keep her body warm. This would consume the puppet's energy, which she usually was reluctant to use, but this was not the time.

Song Weichen took off his cloak, tied his open sleeves around his shoulders with a strap, took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with it, then asked the coroner Xu for some white wine to pour on his arms to clean and disinfect them, and then put on brand new linen gloves - this set of movements was so smooth and flowing that everyone was stunned.

"Wujiu, you are the most organized. Could you please help me with the autopsy records?"

Ye Wujiu looked at Song Weichen, his eyes already filled with admiration, and he clasped his fists and bowed seriously.

"my pleasure."

Song Weichen nodded, walked solemnly to the wooden bed where the body was lying, and bowed to Xiaoan.

"Xiao An, you died for no reason. This is unjust... I will redress your injustice!"
