Forensic drug concubine

Chapter 264 Something's Wrong!

Mu Qingwan lowered her head and did not speak, she was still looking at the corpse seriously. The corpse exuded a faint fragrance. After debating seriously, she found that it was the fragrance of hibiscus flowers.

"My lord, is there something weird about the place where the corpse was found?" Mu Qingwan looked up at Zhao Zhong.

Zhao Zhong shook his head slightly, and said: "There is nothing unusual. If there is something wrong, it is that the place where the dead body lay was carefully arranged by someone. The ground is all dry soil, not wet soil."

It rained all night last night, the ground can't dry that fast, and places like the suburbs, not the bluestone roads in the market, will definitely be muddy, just like when Mu Qingwan and the others came back last night, there were dirt on their shoes. stained with mud.

Thinking of last night, Mu Qingwan thought of those two weird flowers, turned her head and said to Mo Zhuang, "Go and bring those two pots of flowers."

"Yes, Miss." Mo Zhuang replied, and then quickly went back to the house to pick up flowers.

It didn't take a moment for Mo Zhuang to appear in the lobby of the government office with the two potted flowers.

"Miss San, what is this?" Zhao Zhong looked puzzled.

Mu Qingwan pointed to the two potted flowers on the ground, and said, "I bought these from the flower garden near the corpses of the first two deceased last night. I thought they might be useful."

What does the dead have to do with these flowers?

"These women have a handkerchief with flower notes written on them, and each one is a different flower. It seems that there is no problem on the surface. After all, there are not a few women in the capital who like flowers, but every time, the deceased There will definitely be flowers described on the flower paper near the lying corpse, even if they are not close, they are not far away, so among them..."

"Miss San thinks that the owner of the flower garden is a murderer?" Chu Zhiyan suddenly said.

Mu Qingwan didn't look at him, and said calmly: "No, there is only one murderer, but the people who take care of the flower garden are different people, so I guess, this murderer must have something to do with the owner of the flower garden."

"Then according to Miss San's intention, the next step is to check the owners of these gardens? See who they have close contacts with?" Zhao Zhong asked from the side.

A gleam flashed in Mu Qingwan's eyes, and she said: "On the contrary, I think Mr. Zhao should send someone to find out what other flower gardens are nearby and what kind of flowers are cultivated on a large scale, and then pay close attention to the movements of these flowers. When we went to buy flowers in the evening, the poppies and begonias had all been bought by someone, but the two deceased who died yesterday happened to have flower papers of poppies and crabapple flowers on their bodies, and the other deceased had flower papers of orchid flowers. , my maid went to inquire secretly, and overnight, all the orchids in the yard near the dead body were gone. I think, since the dead person found this morning, since she was wearing hibiscus flowers, Hua Jian, then the hibiscus flowers in the flower garden in the west of the city may all be gone by now."

As soon as Mu Qingwan finished speaking, as if confirming it, a government servant came in from the outside, saluted Zhao Zhong and Chu Zhiyan, and then said: "My lord, my lord, I went to investigate according to my lord's order. The hibiscus flowers in that garden are It's been sold out."

Zhao Zhong frowned slightly, and then said, "Have you found out who it is?"

The subordinate shook his head and said, "No, it's an old man who takes care of the flower garden. He just said that the ladies in the capital came to pick it up."

"What about the other flowers in the garden? What other flowers have been sold?" Mu Qingwan asked aloud, this is very important, because of this, it is very possible to find the murderer's next target.

The yamen servant was slightly taken aback, then shook his head: "This..."

"Go and investigate!" Chu Zhiyan said coldly.

"Yes." The yamen servant got the order and ran out immediately.

Mu Qingwan looked at the deceased, and it was the first time she felt such a strangeness, it was related to flowers, but it seemed to have nothing to do with it, the conditions here were really limited, and many methods and means could not be used.

"My lord, I think it's better to do an autopsy. There are no wounds on the outside of the corpse, and it wasn't caused by poisoning. Maybe some clues will be found during the autopsy." Mu Qingwan said lightly.

Zhao Zhong frowned slightly, and then said: "That's good."

Mu Qingwan nodded, Mo Zhuang stepped forward and quickly put on the blouse for Mu Qingwan, took out ginger slices and put them in her mouth, burned Atractylodes macrocephala and Cangzhu, put on gloves and a mask, and started the autopsy.

The corpse was very fresh, and Mu Qingwan cut open the corpse with ease. The knife in her hand seemed to have magical power, and she could use it freely and smoothly, as if she had practiced this movement thousands of times, ten thousand times.

Mu Qingwan looked at the corpse of her hand intently. She was familiar with and easily separated every organ inside the corpse. When taking out the contents of the stomach, Mu Qingwan found that there was almost nothing in the stomach of the deceased.

She checked all the internal organs, and there was nothing wrong with it. It seemed that there was no difference from a normal death. Of course, the stomach was empty.

She was a little surprised. If it was said that the deceased died of starvation, then the face of the deceased must have been in pain, and the body should have been dehydrated, his face was even paler, and there would be obvious signs of malnutrition, but this The faces of the deceased were ruddy, and there seemed to be smiles on their faces, which was obviously not a reaction from starvation.

She sewed up the corpse, and began to dissect the next corpse. Just as she was about to cut the knife, Mu Qingwan thought of something, glanced at the corpse just now, and then ordered someone to turn the corpse in front of her and turn the corpse with the back facing up.

She removed the clothes from the corpse, only to see that the back of the deceased was white and delicate, as if it was the skin of a living person.

No, this is not right!

"Turn these two corpses over too." Mu Qingwan said coldly.

The yamen servant also turned over the other two corpses, and when he took out his clothes, the backs were also smooth and greasy. Mu Qingwan's face darkened slightly when she saw this.

"Qingwan, is there something wrong?" Chu Zhiyan, who was beside him, saw Mu Qingwan's face darkened, and asked aloud.

Mu Qingwan said in a deep voice: "Generally, one to two hours after the death, the dead body's blood circulation stops, and there will be corpse spots, but none of these three corpses have any."

"Then what do you think..."

"My lord, the common feature of these corpses is that they have lost nearly ten catties in weight. According to my judgment, this weight loss is the blood in the corpse's body." Mu Qingwan said calmly.

Zhao Zhong frowned, a little confused about what Mu Qingwan meant.

Chu Zhiyan, who was standing next to Mu Qingwan, asked in a deep voice: "You mean, the blood in these corpses has been drained?"

Mu Qingwan nodded. When she performed the autopsy just now, she didn't think of this layer, because she cut the blood vessels with precision, and there would be no large-scale bleeding, so it's normal not to bleed, but , without corpse spots, this is wrong.
