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

Chu Yunxi sighed, "She is such a pitiful person. Now I just hope that after the case is solved, she can feel a little relieved."

Li Jinghong said: "If it weren't for the case, I'm afraid Madam Li would have kept this matter to herself for the rest of her life and would never let her child know who his biological father is in the future."

"This Qin Huaijin is so despicable. He deserves to die. He raped Madam Li, but he also threw dirty water on Lin Shize. It's really despicable." Chu Yunxi slammed the table.

"By the way, speaking of Lin Shize, he is a really good guy. When I went to Li Ruixian's house today, I happened to meet him buying fruits and vegetables and delivering them to the Li Mansion. We chatted for a while. He said that he and Li Ruixian used to be partners, but now Li Ruixian has been murdered and Madam Li is left alone. He took advantage of her rest period to help out a little, as a comfort to Li Ruixian's spirit in heaven. After Li Ruixian's body is taken back in the next two days, he will help with the funeral arrangements and then go back to the Hanlin Academy to report for duty. He is a man of affection and righteousness." Li Jinghong sighed. He had been in the Dali Temple for a long time and had seen many people who were indifferent to human feelings. It was rare for Li Jinghong to meet such a person by chance.

Chu Yunxi frowned, "Although his heart is good, he is a stranger after all. Shouldn't he avoid suspicion? There are always gossips around widows. Now is a sensitive time. I am afraid that his frequent visits to the Li Mansion will damage Madam Li's reputation."

"I'm so sick that I can't even get out of bed, how can I care about my reputation?" Li Jinghong smiled bitterly. "Princess, you haven't seen Madam Li. She has lost a lot of weight in just a few days. She is so weak that she looks like she will fall down if the wind blows."

"Well, Lin Shize is a timely help. By the way, has Lin Shize married?" Chu Yunxi was a little curious.

"I heard that he had a wife, but she died of illness two years ago." Li Jinghong was very well-informed.

"These two people, one lost his wife, the other lost his husband, they are in the same boat."

Xiao Mubei also informed Li Jinghong of what they had found out at the Qin Mansion, and asked him to check Qin Huaijin's whereabouts after he left home in the early morning. After Li Jinghong left, Chu Yunxi was still in deep thought. Xiao Mubei knew that she was sorting out the clues and trying to find the connections between them, so he did not disturb her and went back to his official duties.

Chu Yunxi thought for a while, and suddenly called Zi Han over and whispered something in her ear. Zi Han responded and left. Chu Yunxi then stood up and stretched. She had gotten up too early in the morning and was a little sleepy now, so she decided to go and have a rest.

In the afternoon, the constable came to report that a woman's body was found under a cliff on the outskirts of the city. It was not known whether it was Su Xin. The body had been brought back, and Madam Li had been notified to come to the Dali Temple to identify the body.

Chu Yunxi went to the morgue to check the body first. Because the temperature was not high now, the body was well preserved, but the smell was really bad. Chu Yunxi still felt a little nauseous even with two layers of masks on. Fortunately, she was used to this smell, although it was unpleasant, she could bear it.

The female corpse's clothes had been torn in many places, her limbs were twisted, and her body had multiple abrasions and lacerations. Chu Yunxi felt the corpse from head to toe and found multiple fractures, and a lot of dried blood on her clothes and body. Judging from the surface of the body, it was consistent with death from falling off a cliff.

Because the identity of the deceased had to be confirmed first, Chu Yunxi did not perform further autopsy work, but waited for Madam Li to come and identify the body. Thinking of what Li Jinghong said this morning, that Madam Li was now too ill to get out of bed, and might not be able to come and identify the body, before this thought came to mind, a constable came to report that Madam Li had arrived.

Chu Yunxi was a little surprised. She actually came? But since she was here, she must be brought in for autopsy. Chu Yunxi thought that she was also a pregnant woman like herself, so she waited at the door of the morgue and took out two masks.

After a while, a pregnant woman in plain clothes came slowly over with the help of a maid. Mrs. Li was indeed beautiful. Although she had no makeup on and looked haggard, it could not hide her outstanding facial features. Chu Yunxi thought to herself, Li Ruixian was just a small editor in the Hanlin Academy, but she didn't expect his wife to be so beautiful. No wonder she was being remembered by someone.

However, Chu Yunxi still felt a little strange. Although Madam Li looked haggard, she did not look sick. She was not as Li Jinghong said, unable to get out of bed due to illness. Moreover, although she walked very slowly with the support of her maid and seemed very weak, her steps were very steady, which was completely different from the light and weak steps of a seriously ill person.

Maybe she was just too sad. How could a healthy person get sick just because her husband was killed? This Li Shaoqing was really exaggerating, Chu Yunxi thought to herself.

Madam Li walked up to Chu Yunxi and bowed slightly, "This one, I guess, is the princess? I greet you, princess."

"Mrs. Li, there's no need to be so polite. Come, put this on. The smell inside is not very pleasant. You are pregnant, so you must take care of yourself." Chu Yunxi handed her the mask and taught her how to put it on.

Mrs. Li put on her mask and thanked Chu Yunxi, and they walked in together. As soon as she entered the door, Mrs. Li saw the body lying on the morgue. Her tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she retched and ran out covering her mouth.

Chu Yunxi expected this reaction. She followed and watched Madam Li retching by the tree for a long time but not vomiting much. So she handed her a glass of water and said, "Madam, drink some water to calm down."

"Thank you." Madam Li took the water and drank a sip. She felt a little better. She wiped away the tears in her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry, Princess. I really couldn't help it."

"It doesn't matter. Did you recognize the body just now?"

Mrs. Li's tears fell again, and she said, "That dress... belongs to Su Xin. I bought it for her myself, so it can't be wrong."

"The clothes are, but the person may not be. If you feel better, Madam, please go in and confirm it again." Chu Yunxi did not accept vague explanations.

Madam Li had no choice but to put on her mask again, mustering up her courage, and once again followed Chu Yunxi into the morgue. This time, she walked to the side of the corpse, staring at the corpse's scarred and swollen face for a long time before she cried, "Yes, this is my dowry maid, Su Xin. There is a red mole at the end of her right eyebrow. There is no mistake."

Chu Yunxi looked at where her finger was, and sure enough, there was a bright red mole there.

Madam Li knelt on the ground and couldn't stop crying, "Su Xin, how could you be so cruel to abandon me? What happened to you? Why did it become like this? Su Xin..."
