Chapter 89 – Who is the Real killer? (3)
Ji Yunhuang first invited Grand Marshal Hu to get closer to the coffin. “Grand Marshal Hu please take a look. Was this how your daughter looked when you found her dead?”
Grand Marshal Hu had already taken a good look earlier, so he nodded. “Yes!”
His daughter’s eyes were wide open, her lips slightly parted. There was a dagger embedded in her chest at the location of her heart.
Ji Yunhao coldly interrupted, “The dagger in Diechang’s heart must have been what took her life. This dagger looks very similar to the ones Ning Xuemo owned…”
Ji Yunhuang ignored him as he called for the coroner who was here. “Autopsy!”
That coroner could be said to be a master of his field. His movements were deft and quick. He first examined the corpse’s appearance in detail before he started doing more invasive examinations…
He first pulled out the dagger and examined the wound before inspecting the dagger in his hand. “There’s not much blood on this dagger. Furthermore, the flesh around the wound is dark reddish…”
He spouted a string of analyses before making a final conclusion. “From the aforementioned points, we can tell that this dagger was stabbed into the deceased’s heart after her death. This was not the weapon that killed the deceased…”
Like a stone thrown into a calm pond, the coroner’s final words caused noticeable ripples to form. The faces of all the people in the Palace changed.
Grand Marshal Hu’s fists tightened. He had also taken a look at the wound, so he could confirm the coroner’s words…
“Since this dagger did not inflict the killing blow, then what was the cause of her death?” Grand Marshal Hu’s tone sounded like an iceberg.
The coroner continued examining for a while. After pondering for a moment, his finger suddenly felt Hu Diechang’s hairline. Carefully examining through touch, his eyes suddenly lit up. “It’s here!”
Grand Marshal Hu looked closely. The coroner pinpointed a location on the scalp hidden by the hair. Grand Marshal Hu failed to notice anything suspicious.
