Chapter 318 Autopsy
The head of the Yang family immediately fell silent.

Upon returning from the capital, he immediately instructed his steward to invite a highly virtuous monk to perform a ritual.

If someone has such a dream, it can be explained as something understandable, something that reflects what one thinks about during the day, or something that happens by chance.

It's quite unusual for an entire family, so many people, to all dream of the same scene and the same warning.

Jingzhao Mansion.

"Old Yao, have you noticed anything?" Jiao Bubai looked at the mummified corpses lying in the morgue, his heart heavy.

The fact that such a strange case involving multiple deaths occurred overnight within his jurisdiction made it difficult for him to sleep soundly.

He walked over each corpse one by one, examining them carefully.

Having dealt with murder cases for many years, Jiao Bubai also had some knowledge of autopsy techniques.

The coroner, Old Yao, didn't speak immediately. He waited until Jiao Bubai had finished reading before asking, "Well? Did you figure anything out?"

Jiao Bubai shook his head.

"I didn't see anything either. The only problem is that... these people didn't die tonight."

Old Yao held a clean cloth in his hand and carefully wiped his hands, which he had just washed three times.

"Not who died tonight?"

Jiao Bubai frowned: "After the incident, I retrieved the city gate records and questioned the city gate guards on duty yesterday. Because these people returned at the same time, they asked them a few more questions and were quite certain that these people were alive when they entered the city!"

"And their families were there when these people had the accident. They witnessed it firsthand. They suddenly screamed, very shrilly, as if they were suffering great pain."

“The surrounding neighbors can also testify.”

If the person didn't die tonight, then everything that happened tonight...

"Can you tell when these people died?" Jiao Bubai frowned. "Could it be that these people didn't die at the same time?"

"Instead, someone murdered them at different times, gathered them together, and used some special method to create the situation we see tonight?"

After Jiao Bubai finished speaking, he immediately shook his head in denial.

That's highly unlikely.

According to these families, Miss Xue invited them on the trip the day before yesterday, and they returned yesterday evening.

The statements of the city gate guards and the records of people entering and leaving the city gates can both verify this claim.

Even if the murderer killed people at different times, the murderer only had a total of one day, at most one day and one night.

Jiao Bubai couldn't help but look at Lao Yao, eager to know if Lao Yao could still analyze the exact time of death in such a short period of time.

"Could it be poisoning?" Jiao Bubai asked again.

Coroner Lao Yao glared at him and said, "Why don't you be the coroner? You examine the body? Can't you let me finish what I have to say before you start your wild speculations?"

Jiao Bubai whispered "sorry," and then fell silent, waiting for Lao Yao to speak slowly.

"At first, I thought it was poisoning, but after testing with several different methods, I confirmed that none of these people had ingested or consumed anything poisonous."

"Therefore, we can basically rule out poisoning."

"Of course, if there are more sophisticated drug testing methods, it is not impossible to detect poison."

Old Yao shrugged: "Anyway, so far, I've tried all the methods that our ancestor taught me."

“I’ve even tried the methods that I’ve summarized based on my many years of experience as a coroner.”
