The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

The man was very reluctant and wanted to refuse, but Hei Mu would not allow him to refuse and said directly: "We are from the Dali Temple, take us there."

The man didn't dare to refuse after hearing this, so he could only turn back and say, "The alley is narrow, and the carriage can't go in."

Bai Yu had already unfolded the wheelchair. Chu Yunxi got off the carriage first, and Xiao Mubei flew out of the carriage soon after and landed steadily on the wheelchair, leaving the man dumbfounded.

"Let's go." Chu Yunxi followed Hei Mu and the man. The man looked at Chu Yunxi, hesitated for a moment and said, "Miss, there is a dead person ahead. If you are scared, don't go over there. It's not...good to see."

Chu Yunxi walked forward without changing her expression, "They can choose not to go, but I must go."

"This... why is this happening?" Perhaps because he was with government officials, the man was not as scared as before and talked more.

Chu Yunxi said calmly: "Because I am a coroner."

"Ah?" The man didn't know what to say.

Instead, Xiao Mubei said nonchalantly: "You really know how to be sympathetic to women."

The man realized that he had talked too much and became uneasy again.

After walking about 500 meters, the man pointed to a courtyard with an open door in the alley and said, "This is it."

The neighbors around had already heard the noise and opened their doors to look in. Chu Yunxi went in first and took out the gloves she wore when performing autopsies. As she put them on, she said, "Come in and help me record. Don't touch anything."

All of Xiao Mubei's men came from military camps, and it was their first time dealing with a murder case, so they really had no experience. Xiao Mubei ordered Bai Yu to go to the Dali Temple to dispatch personnel. Hei Mu was outside watching the first person who discovered the body, so the work of recording had to fall on him.

Well, it's a bit embarrassing for a Chief Justice of Dali Temple to help a coroner, but human life is at stake, so he can't care about his face.

Both of them put on masks and entered the room. Chu Yunxi saw the woman lying on the bed at a glance. She was naked, with her hands tied above her head with cloth strips, her mouth blocked by a piece of rag, and her eyes wide open looking at the ceiling. The bedding on the bed was torn into pieces and thrown aside. Judging from the cloth strips tied on the woman's hands, they should have been torn off the bedding.

Chu Yunxi frowned. What she hated most was this kind of case of humiliating women and killing people. It was really too perverted.

Xiao Mubei was also not used to it. He had seen a lot of dead bodies. The piles of dead bodies on the battlefield could be said to be hell on earth. He had long since trained himself to have a strong heart, but this was the first time he had seen a murdered female corpse, and moreover, she was not wearing any clothes.

The moment he saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but quickly look away, but seeing Chu Yunxi's calm expression, he had to force himself to remain calm and took out a pen and paper.

Early in the morning, the sunlight just happened to shine into the house, the light was very bright, Chu Yunxi lowered her head and began to examine the deceased.

"The deceased is widow Liu, female, about 25 or 26 years old. She died between 2:15 and 3:15 yesterday. The cause of death was suffocation. Her eyeballs were bulging, her face was bruised, there were strangulation marks on her neck, and fingerprints on her mouth and nose. She died of suffocation due to someone strangling her neck and covering her mouth and nose."

Chu Yunxi paused for a moment and said, "The murderer is a male, about five feet four inches to five feet seven inches tall, with a strong build."

Xiao Mubei was a little surprised. "You haven't seen the murderer, how do you know his height and body shape?"

"It was deduced from the fingerprints on the neck of the deceased." Chu Yunxi did not tell Xiao Mubei that there was a formula to calculate this. She just said: "In fact, there are many traces at the scene that can be used to infer the murderer's information. This is called a portrait."

Xiao Mubei nodded. He actually didn't understand much, but he didn't want to ask too much and appear ignorant. King Dingbei still had some baggage on his shoulders.

Chu Yunxi continued to check. "There are many signs of abuse on the deceased's body, proving that he was abused before his death. His lower body is in a mess, so he must have been violated... Huh?"

Xiao Mubei heard something strange in her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

Chu Yunxi checked it in detail again and said, "The deceased was not violated."

It was somewhat awkward for the two of them to discuss this topic, but Chu Yunxi didn't think so. Discussing the details of the victim's murder with her boss was a normal job for her and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

Xiao Mubei wrote down what Chu Yunxi said quickly. Chu Yunxi quickly checked the body and said, "There are no other fatal injuries. The murderer tortured the deceased but did not violate her. He killed her directly. It should be a murder caused by emotional entanglement. We can start with the investigation of the deceased's interpersonal relationships to see if she had conflicts with anyone recently."

"The murderer cleaned up the scene afterwards, leaving almost no traces. Except for the fingerprints on the neck, everything else was cleaned up. It must have been a premeditated murder."

Xiao Mubei asked: "Could it be possible that he is a repeat offender?"

"It depends on whether the Dali Temple has any similar unsolved cases. But in my opinion, it's not likely." After Chu Yunxi finished the inspection, she found a set of the deceased's clothes in the room and helped her put them on.

The dead are also human beings and have dignity. Respecting life is the professional ethics of every forensic doctor. It is precisely because of respecting life that forensic doctors will do their utmost to restore the truth, catch the murderer, and give justice to the dead.

Xiao Mubei silently watched Chu Yunxi help Widow Liu put on her clothes, then asked, "Why not?"

"From the strangle marks on the victim's neck, it seems that the murderer did not strangle the victim to death in one go. Instead, he strangled the victim once but failed to kill her, and the victim recovered. So the murderer strangled her neck and covered her mouth and nose the second time. If he was a habitual criminal, he would not make such a mistake."

When it comes to murder, the first time is unfamiliar, the second time is familiar. If the person is a repeat offender, he will be ruthless and will not leave anyone alive. He will not make a mistake in judging whether a person is dead or not.

As they were talking, Bai Yu had already brought Dali Temple Shaoqing Li Jinghong and several constables over. Chu Yunxi pushed Xiao Mubei out, and Li Jinghong and the others immediately saluted.

Xiao Mubei waved his hand and said, "Li Shaoqing, there's no need to be polite. The coroner has examined the body. Find someone to take the body back to the Dali Temple first. Seal off the scene and don't let anyone in or out. Come with me to ask the person who found the body. Bai Yu, go visit the neighbors around and see who this widow Liu usually interacts with and whether she has had any conflicts with anyone recently."

After giving the order, Xiao Mubei came to the man who found the body. Hei Mu had been watching him and wouldn't let him leave. Seeing Xiao Mubei coming over, he rubbed his hands nervously. Xiao Mubei asked, "Who are you? Why did you appear at Widow Liu's house so early in the morning?"
