Chapter 117: Open coffin autopsy
Cao Liang asked, "Where is Sister Ling buried?" ”
"The ancestral tomb of the Sima family in Wen County." Xiahou Xuan almost gritted his teeth when he answered, Xiahou Hui was killed by Sima Shi and had to be buried in their family's ancestral grave.
really responded to that sentence, life is a member of the Sima family, and death is a ghost of the Sima family.
Wen County is in Hanoi County, not too far from Luoyang, and if you ride a horse, you can reach it in one day.
This is completely no different from what Cao Liang thought, he smiled indifferently and said: "It's so simple, don't you suspect that Ling Mei was poisoned by Sima Shi, as long as the coffin is opened and the body is examined, everything can be revealed." ”
Xiahou Xuan showed hesitation on his face and said, "This is not very suitable......
The ancients paid attention to the earth, once buried in the soil, no matter what the reason, the body will not be easily dug out again, which is why the ancients hated the tomb robbers and sentenced them to death, as for the kind of death to be dragged out of the grave and whipped, it is regarded as a harsh punishment.
So after Xiahou Xuan heard that Cao Liang was going to open the coffin for an autopsy, he hesitated a little, after all, the deceased is the biggest, once the coffin is opened, Xiahou Hui's bones will be exposed to the sky, and the autopsy is all men, so it seems inappropriate for them to touch Xiahou Hui's bones.
Cao Liang said indifferently: "This matter is related to the cause of Ling Mei's death, whether you can avenge Zhao Xue for her is here, if Brother Tai Chu has doubts about Ling Mei's cause of death, then dispel this idea." If Brother Tai Chu is convinced that Ling Mei was killed by Sima Shi, then opening the coffin and conducting an autopsy is the only way, it depends on whether Brother Tai Chu wants to avenge Ling Mei? ”
At the beginning, the Sima family claimed that Xiahou Hui died because of a vicious disease, but Xiahou Xuan was suspicious of this, thinking that everyone in Sima's mansion was fine, how could his sister be infected with a vicious disease? So when news came out that Xiahou Hui was poisoned by Sima Shi, Xiahou Xuan thought about it carefully, and there were many doubts about the cause of his sister's death, so Xiahou Xuan believed this rumor and went to Sima Shi to theorize.
Of course, Sima Shi flatly denied it, but Xiahou Xuan thought that he wanted to cover it up, but because Xiahou Hui had been buried at that time, Xiahou Xuan couldn't come up with any strong evidence, and in the end, he couldn't help Sima Shi.
Now Cao Liang proposed to open the coffin for an autopsy, although this was not Xiahou Xuan's willingness, but as long as he could find out the real culprit and avenge his sister, Xiahou Xuan could still accept it.
"It's just that after six years, my sister's bones are cold, even if the coffin is opened, I may not be able to find any clues." Xiahou Xuan is also very worried, if the coffin is opened, if the evidence is found, it will be returned, if the evidence cannot be found, it will be worth the loss.
Although Cao Liang has never been a forensic doctor, he has watched too many criminal investigation TV series, both modern and ancient, and he also understands the procedures of the autopsy.
groping on a pile of white bones, Cao Liang got goosebumps when he thought about it
However, in this era, there are also autopsies (忤作), and there is no need for Cao Liang to do it himself.
"Brother Tai Chu doesn't need to worry, if Ling Mei was really killed by a doom, then the doom is poisonous to the bones, even if the flesh is rotten, there must be a dark green color on the white bones, as long as Ling Mei's bones can be found, everything can be revealed."
Joke, Wu Dalang has been destroyed and destroyed, Wu Song can still avenge his brother with half a blackened bone, there is no cremation custom in the Han and Wei eras, even if Sima Shi really poisoned Xiahou Hui, he will not abandon the corpse, he will definitely be buried in a grand manner, as long as he can find Xiahou Hui's bones, are you afraid that you can't find Sima Shi's incriminating evidence?
Xiahou Xuan's brows tightened, and he could see that he was still hesitating, after all, digging a grave and digging a grave was a great disrespect to the deceased, and this deceased was his own sister, according to the current saying, disturbing the yin spirit of the deceased could very well affect the deceased's death.
However, it seems that Yang Huiyu has been dead for many years, and if there is really such a thing as reincarnation, I am afraid that he is already a second human by now.
Xiahou Xuan thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, weighed the weight, and felt that it was more important to avenge his sister, in the past few years, the grudge between him and Sima Shi has accumulated to the point of no return, just like a volcano that may erupt at any time, Xiahou Xuan and Sima Shi have the intention of ending up together.
"Yui! Just listen to your words, but I hope that Ziming can go with me to be a witness. Xiahou Xuan finally nodded in agreement, but he made an additional request, that is, to ask Cao Liang to go with him, which can be regarded as a witness.
Cao Liang didn't think about it, and nodded briskly: "No." ”
Xiahou Xuan's eyes were solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Although this matter has been decided, when you go to Wen County, you must do it secretly, and you must not let the people of the Sima family find out." ”
Xiahou Xuan is also a thoughtful person, since he has decided to open the coffin for an autopsy, he must not make a big fuss, he must quietly, while the Sima family is defenseless, before he can do it.
Cao Liang thought so, it seems that Xiahou Xuan's thoughts coincide with him, the Sima family has many eyes and ears in Luoyang, if Xiahou Xuan goes to Wen County with great fanfare, he will definitely be noticed by the Sima family, so to do this, he must be very secretive, secretly dig up the bones of Xiahou Hui, and verify whether he was poisoned, so as to kill Sima Shi by surprise.
Although it is clearly recorded in the history books that Xiahou Hui was killed by Sima Shilu, Cao Liang does not dare to guarantee 100% that the historical records will be correct until he gets the exact evidence.
So this matter can only be done in secret, even if Xiahou Hui was really not poisoned, they only need to bury Xiahou Hui's bones quietly, so that people don't know the ghosts.
If there is no evidence, he will make a fuss, and he can only be slandered by the Sima family, and he is extremely passive.
Next, Cao Liang and Xiahou Xuan discussed the time of travel, Sima Shi's wedding is approaching, and there is not much time left for Cao Liang, so this matter must be hurried, so they decided to leave early the day after tomorrow, Xiahou Xuan found a good job in advance, hid in Xiahou Mansion's subordinates, early the day after tomorrow, Xiahou Xuan went out of the city in the name of hunting, and then met Cao Liang at the Yellow River ferry and went to Wen County together.
After the discussion was settled, Cao Liang immediately took his leave and left Xiahou Mansion.
