Chapter 92 Corpse
The bodies of the Du family and his wife were found on the seventh day. With great rewards, a coolie on the Tongzhou Wharf finally ran into the Tongzhou Yamen, saying that he found two bodies on the river around June, one man and one woman, and they were all soaked at that time. He reported the case at that time, but the Tongzhou Magistrate's Yamen was not able to find anything. Even the identity of the men and women could not be verified, so he determined that he committed suicide and did not pursue it.
He still felt unbearable in his heart, and with superstition, he felt that he had met these two corpses, and he couldn't hide his eyes. He was originally a boat on the dock to unload goods to make a living. He usually believed that ghosts and gods would retaliate, so he was very soft-hearted and found Yizhuang and invited these two corpses to be buried.
Every year, there are many corpses of unowned owners in Yizhuang. They are buried in the south mountain. They are just wrapped around randomly. Someone wants to get rid of the corpses, and they are also unowned corpses. They don’t involve any cases. Naturally, they are so happy that they agree.
The coolie buried the man on his own hill.
He wiped the sweat from his head and said to Cheng Lan who was coming to Tongzhou with a simple expression: "I went out to run a boat and I came back for more than a month. I heard about this as soon as I came back. I thought it was a coincidence. I was afraid it wasn't the two people I buried, right? So I rushed to report the case."
He was wearing a brown short-shot and was completely dark, but his eyes were bright and bright. Cheng Lan was very gentle to him and asked him specifically: "What do you call this big brother?"
He was suddenly a little flattered. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him who was dressed brightly at first glance, who knew that his background was quite good, and hurriedly said, "I dare not, because I am strong, so others call me strong. Just call me that too."
Chenglan nodded resembled the stern nodded: "Brother Dali, can you take us to their bone burial place?"
Dali came for this matter, of course there was no reason to refuse. He immediately stood up and led the way: "Please follow me, sir."
Dali was honest and cheerful, and didn't even pause, so he took them to find his own mountain. He scratched his head, took a sickle and cut off the weeds on the wooden tombstone for a few seconds. Then he turned to Chenglan and nodded, "Sir, it's this place. I didn't know their names at that time, so I only had a sign."
One sign and two lives are hidden here silently.
If they didn't meet Dali, or they didn't even have a place to settle down.
Cheng Lan was silent for a moment, bowed to the wooden sign before someone dug up the grave.
Dali was born in a poor family and was desperately unloading goods while on a boat to maintain the life of the family. If their family members die, they will only have a thin-skinned coffin, so the bodies of the Du couple were wrapped in a thin-skinned coffin and buried underground.
The coroner from the Tongzhou Prefectural Office followed and quickly opened the coffin. The body had been corrupted very seriously. Some places had become bones, which made people feel sick when they looked at it.
Everyone couldn't help it, and they all couldn't stand this scene.
Dali scratched his head and told Cheng Lan a little embarrassedly: "These people who drowned in the water are like this... If they have been soaked for many days, even the corpse is much ugly than ordinary people. It is the same as if they have been soaked. We have seen it a lot and get used to it. Don't be surprised."
Cheng Lan couldn't accept it, but now he was investigating the case, and Chu Tingchuan attaches great importance to this case. Of course, he wouldn't do anything because of this little difficulty. He asked the coroner: "All this is the case, can you find out what else?"
It is said that many clues can be found in corpses, but they are all destroyed like this. I am afraid that there are not many useful clues, so he can't help but feel a pity.
He also felt wronged and depressed for the Du family.
It is really sad that even the corpse cannot be used as a clue to find the sinner.
The coroner felt very stressed, but after careful observation, he wiped the sweat from his head, nodded affirmatively and said, "You can also give it a try, wait..."
He said, as if he had discovered something. After putting on gloves, he carefully reached out and fiddled with the corpse in the coffin. His eyes suddenly changed. After calling a young man over, the two discussed for a while, then gestured at the corpse in the coffin for a few times, and finally looked back at Cheng Lan with a serious expression and said, "Sir! These two people were not drowned, but died of a broken neck bone."
It's just that the corpse was soaked in the water.
It should have been killed first before throwing it into the water to destroy the corpse.
Cheng Lan suddenly felt energetic and looked at them and asked, "Take it seriously?! How can you tell me?"
The coroner was less restrained and afraid when he encountered something about his professionalism. He turned the corpse for a moment, and the bones were lush, but it was obvious that the taller male corpse had a broken neck bone.
He also showed the situation of the female corpse to Chenglan as it was, and said in a serious tone: "They were killed in advance, otherwise if they were really drowned, why do you have to do this too much?"
Cheng Lan squatted down and looked carefully, nodded, and ordered the coroner: "You will write a document of record in detail for all the discovered situations, and I will take it back."
The coroner should be in a hurry.
Dali stood there in a daze, looking at the two corpses sadly, sighed and knelt down and bowed, muttering: "It turns out that you died unjustly. No wonder you died with your eyes open. We are destined to be destined. Now your grievances are reappeared in the light of heaven. I hope your spirits in heaven can rest in peace."
Cheng Lan patted his shoulder.
Dali is such a good person.
The coroner transported the body back to Yizhuang and was very responsible. After three days, all the situation was carefully recorded and handed over to Chenglan.
Chenglan took it, looked at the master and apprentice again, and said solemnly: "Please follow me to return to Beijing. If you don't understand something, you still need to explain it."
Of course they are willing to coroner.
Staying here, although they are leisurely, they do not have much room for performance. They are doing this profession, although they are a low-ranking low-ranking karma and have to do it for a lifetime, but if they can do it well, it will be much better than Wuming.
Chenglan told the Tongzhou Prefecture and took the person away with the body.
Many people had already received the news on the day they returned to the capital.
