The first person Li Zhang noticed was not the angry County Magistrate Han, but a child behind him. To be precise, he was a teenager. He looked about the same age as him, both of whom were twelve or thirteen years old, but the other party was wearing silk clothes, fair skin, and handsome facial features. What was even more annoying was that he was half a head taller than him and looked gentle.

Looking at Li Zhang himself, it was fine if he was injured on his feet, but he was wearing a gray torn coat. There were patches everywhere on the coat. Needless to say, his skin was dark and rough. Especially the frostbite of his hands in winter had not completely healed, and he was black and red. Compared with the other party's clean young man, he was simply a beggar. Of course, when Li Zhang had no food to eat before, he had really been a beggar.

While Li Zhang was looking at the other party, the other party was also looking at him. After all, there were all big and thick yamen runners around, and only two of them were their peers. However, his eyes made Li Zhang very uncomfortable, just the look of the rich young man looking at the beggar. Although this was in line with the image of the two, Li Zhang still felt very unhappy. He glared at the other party fiercely, but he didn't expect that the boy didn't care at all. Instead, he showed a reserved and arrogant smile, as if he was disdainful to be angry with people like Li Zhang.

"Lu Wu, didn't I ask you to come as soon as possible? Why did you delay so much?" As soon as the county magistrate Han arrived in front of Lu Wu, he immediately told him with anger.

"Prince Han, my subordinates have just returned from another place. They have not eaten well for several days and cannot sleep well. When you come back, you must let me have some food!" Lu Wu also replied coldly at this time. He didn't want to offend this Prince Han, but the other party clearly wanted to target him, so he didn't need to rush to curry favor with the other party.

"You..." County Magistrate Han didn't expect that Lu Wu, who was very respectful to him in the past, seemed to have become a different person, which made him feel a little uncomfortable for a while. However, he wanted to use Lu Wu to establish his authority today, so he quickly asked with a stern face, "Lu Wu, didn't I ask you to bring the coroner, why didn't I see the coroner?"

"Yang Jiezuo was injured, Li Jiezuo did not return, there were only two Jiezuo in the yamen, so I really couldn't find anyone. Fortunately, Li Jiezuo's son had learned some, so his subordinates could only bring him!" When Lu Wu said the last time, he pointed to Li Zhang who was being carried by someone next to him.

County Magistrate Han saw Li Zhang at this time. When he found out that the other party was just a child, he was furious again and said, "Lu Wu, what do you mean? If you can't find a coroner, just use a child to fool me?"

"The county magistrate is angry. Although I am young, I have learned some methods of autopsy. I just heard the two yamen runners say on the road, just now, that it is just to verify whether the deceased committed suicide or kill him. This is still a matter that cannot be hindered me!" Before Lu Wu could speak, Li Zhang said with a smile on his face.

Neither Han County Wei nor Lu Wu expected that Li Zhang would speak out on his own initiative. Moreover, when facing the official official, Han County Wei, he was not at all panicked. Instead, he talked calmly and did not look like a twelve-year-old child at all.

"Have you... read a book?" County Magistrate Han was not angry after being surprised. Instead, he looked at Li Zhang curiously and asked, because Li Zhang was polite and polite when speaking, and looked directly at himself without evading at all. This was not like the expression of a coroner's son.

"Qi Bixian County Magistrate, I did go to a private school for a while before, but later because of my poor family, I had no choice but to drop out of school!" Li Zhang replied again. He felt that when he heard that he had read a book, his attitude seemed to have changed and his tone softened, so he also increased some respect when answering. After all, the other party is an official and he is a citizen. If it is not necessary, it is better not to have conflicts.

"I have such a demeanor at such a young age. It's a pity..." County Magistrate Han really admired Li Zhang very much, and couldn't help but exclaim, but at the end, he shook his head with regret, as if he was regretting that Li Zhang gave up the bright road of reading.

Li Zhang didn't know what a pity was about the county lieutenant Han, but he came here for the autopsy, so he saluted again: "County lieutenant, come for the autopsy after the next father, I don't know where the body is?"

"You really want a autopsy?" County Magistrate Han couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Zhang's request for autopsy again. He was a scholar and had some good feelings for Li Zhang, a child who had studied and performed differently than ordinary people. However, no matter how good the good feelings are, he would not believe that Li Zhang knew how to perform autopsy because of this kind of good feelings.

"Yes, please ask the county magistrate to fulfill his support!" Li Zhang replied concisely at this time. Lu Wu, who was next to him, also stood beside Li Zhang and expressed his support for him.

However, what Li Zhang did not expect was that the gentle and gentle boy behind County Magistrate Han actually came over at this time, then hid in County Magistrate Han's ear and muttered a few words. As a result, County Magistrate Han, who was still a little hesitant, actually pointed: "Okay, since you insist on having an autopsy, I won't stop you. But if I can't complete the autopsy, don't blame me for turning against me!"

"Thank you, the county magistrate!" Li Zhang took a deep breath and said, No matter how bad the charity village is, it is a place to accommodate him. Although he has earned some money now, it is not enough to find another place to live, so he must keep his identity as a gambler father coroner. Otherwise, if the county magistrate Han really wants to drive their family away, then he and Li'er will sleep on the streets tomorrow.

Li Zhang took a deep breath and then stepped to the crime scene. When he saw the body, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, because the body had been put down, leaving only a rope hanging from the tree, and the ground was full of footprints. It can be said that the entire crime scene had been completely destroyed.

However, these have nothing to do with Li Zhang. As a coroner, he only needed to take a mortal exam to see if the man committed suicide or killed him. So he also asked the yamen runners to put him down and limped to the corpse with a stick.

Li Zhang is not unfamiliar with corpses. He spent several years in his previous life and experienced several turmoils there. Even in a relatively peaceful period, murders and robberies often occurred around him. Li Zhang had been shot with a gun several times, and he had also encountered the bloody blood of people around him being shot at the head. In addition, he often went to and from the hospital, so the corpses were no longer strange to him.

On the way, Li Zhang had already heard the introduction of the yamen runners. The deceased was named Liu Da. He now looked about 40 or 50 years old. There was a deep trace on his neck and his whole face was black and purple. Li Zhang reached out and turned over his eyelids and found a bleeding spot inside. Then he focused on checking the scars on his neck and untied the other party's clothes to see if there were any other scars?

"Uncle Wu, can you raise me a little higher and let me see the trunk of the tree he hung?" After checking the body, Li Zhang suddenly turned his head and spoke to Lu Wu. He had found something from the other party's body, but further verification still needs to be made.

Lu Wu didn't know what Li Zhang was going to do, but he agreed and immediately picked up Lu Wu and walked under the hanging trunk of the tree, then raised him above his head, just so that Li Zhang could see the situation on the trunk. Li Zhang reached out to check the rope and the trunk, and then let Lu Wu put himself down.

"He did die of suffocation!" Li Zhang was very confident at this time. The characteristics of the people who died of suffocation were very obvious, such as bleeding spots in the eyelids, which is the most obvious characteristic of the person who died of suffocation, not to mention that the traces on the other party's neck were even more conspicuous.

"So, he did commit suicide?" County Magistrate Han saw that Li Zhang was not afraid of the corpse at all, and he did not hesitate at all when inspecting the corpse. He seemed to be confident, which made him believe Li Zhang a little.

"Suffocation death is divided into many types. Hanging suicide is only one of them. In addition, it may be strangled or strangled. Now I can conclude that Liu Da was strangled with a rope behind his back!" Li Zhang then returned to Liu Da's body with a stick and spoke again. The murderer who killed Liu Da was obviously not a veteran, and there were too many flaws left. Not to mention him, a senior detective fan, he could see even those who have watched a few episodes of Conan.

"Dalang, are you so sure?" Lu Wu couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he heard Li Zhang's answer. In the past, coronering was not only taking a long time, but the results of the autopsy were also very vague. At most, it was to give a few most likely results, thereby reducing the difficulty of solving the case. Few people could give the cause of death as affirmatively as Li Zhang.

"Uncle Wu, please see, usually people who hang their necks have a slit on their necks from under their jaw to behind their ears, but if they are strangled, they will cross the back of their necks. There are two slits on the neck of the deceased, one of which crosses the back of their necks and is purple-red, and the other one is a slit on their necks, which is very light in color. The reason for this is that the blood does not flow after death, so that the scars do not appear!" Li Zhang pointed to the deceased's neck at this time and said that there is also a clear difference between injuries before death and injuries after death, and Li Zhang could also see this at a glance.

"It's true!" Lu Wu leaned over and took a look at it, and indeed found that the scars on the deceased's neck were different from those of ordinary hanged people.
