A female coroner arrived at the Jingzhao Prefecture.

Chapter 350 Ending (19)

Ministry of Punishment.

With Liang Ruoming's protection, Mu Qingcheng successfully entered the morgue and saw Guo Yuanke's body.

The coroner from the Ministry of Justice was a middle-aged man with a beard, not very tall, and judging from his appearance, he seemed to be a shrewd and measured person.

However, he was clearly not happy that Liang Ruoming had personally brought a private coroner to examine the body.

"My lord, the autopsy on this body was completed yesterday and reported to the Minister. This is the autopsy record; please take a look."

Liang Ruoming took the case file but did not immediately flip through it. He glanced at the bowing and respectful coroner Chen, his face turning cold. "This case involves a third-rank official of the imperial court. How can we gain the trust of the Censorate and the Court of Judicial Review by only conducting a preliminary examination? I will find someone else to conduct a second examination. You just watch from the side and do not say anything more!"

"...Yes!" Coroner Chen replied hesitantly.

Liang Ruoming quickly reviewed the autopsy report, then gestured to Mu Qingcheng, "Let's begin."

Mu Qingcheng put down the autopsy kit, put on pigskin gloves, lifted the white cloth, and began to examine the corpse's face.

The time of death has exceeded ten hours, the peak period of rigor mortis has passed, the lividity has spread, and pressing on the lividity can no longer completely remove it, only slightly fade it. After stopping the pressing, the lividity returns to its original color very slowly.

Mu Qingcheng was certain that this body was the same one from yesterday. Although the skin on the face had changed color, the facial features and bone structure matched the time of death, and there was no disguise. This face belonged to Guo Yuanke!
"Wait!"

Mu Qingcheng's action of undressing the deceased was suddenly stopped by the coroner, Chen, who stared at Mu Qingcheng with wary eyes. "The deceased is a woman. How can you be so rude?"

"Coroner Chen, have you forgotten my warning?" Liang Ruoming said displeasedly, "Get out! You are not allowed to enter without my summons!" "My lord, please have mercy!" Coroner Chen was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "This humble servant was afraid of disgracing Miss Guo's reputation, and in a moment of panic, I spoke rashly. This humble servant knows his mistake and begs for your forgiveness!"

Having a rare opportunity to assert his official authority, Liang Ruoming succinctly retorted with a single, unquestionable word: "Get out!"

However, Mu Qingcheng spoke up, "My lord, the coroner Chen made an unintentional mistake. Please forgive him."

"Huh?" Liang Ruoming was annoyed. He frantically gestured to her and mouthed, "Are you crazy? I sent everyone away so you could perform the autopsy. Don't you understand?"

Mu Qingcheng nodded his chin imperceptibly, still saying, "Please grant my request, sir."

Liang Ruoming didn't know what she was up to, but cooperating with her was the basis of their cooperation, so he pretended to be tolerant and said, "Alright, since someone is pleading for you, Counselor Chen, you can stay."

The coroner was moved to tears. "Thank you, sir!" he said. He then stood up, clasped his hands in thanks to Mu Qingcheng, and said, "Thank you very much."

Mu Qingcheng remained silent and continued undressing the deceased. Upon seeing this, a fleeting glint flashed in the eyes of the coroner, but he did not speak again. Instead, he turned slightly to the side, avoiding the gaze.

Soon, the deceased's clothes were completely removed.

Mu Qingcheng picked up the deceased's arm to examine it and found that there were no red dots on either wrist, which is the mark of virginity!
She had already seen the body during the initial examination yesterday and knew the results.

Liang Ruoming stared in shock, "How...how is this possible! I couldn't have been mistaken!"

Out of the corner of his eye, the coroner Chen glanced over and saw Mu Qingcheng holding the deceased's hands, her gaze holding a rather intriguing look. Combined with Liang Ruoming's words, he shuddered and blurted out, "What's wrong? Have you made any new discoveries?"
