Chapter 2000: Chapter 2000: Nothing Found (4)
"Cough cough..." Uncle Jiang choked on his own saliva, "I say, madam, please don’t make it difficult for me. The deceased is to be respected, and if we dissect the corpse, there will be no peace. Besides, the Wang Family won’t agree to it..." My heavens, is this Yang Ruxin really a woman? The thought of an autopsy already startled him, but now she wants to dissect the corpse. This... why does it feel so terrifying?
"If you dare touch my daughter’s body, I’ll fight you to the death," Xu Mengying suddenly shouted, clearly having heard Yang Ruxin’s words.
Yang Ruxin shrugged. This is understandable, although dissecting corpses has existed for a long time, it was mostly done to prisoners. Genuine forensic autopsies were more of a modern practice, right? But putting that aside, in ancient times, the deceased were highly respected, so she understood the Wang Family’s behavior.
If dissection isn’t allowed, then it’s not allowed. Fortunately, she has special abilities.
First, she checked the poison on Wang Zhengzheng and couldn’t help but frown. Even she had never seen such a poison before, which was quite unbelievable.
Ever since she became Dao Xuzi’s apprentice, the old man forced her to memorize a book of medical skills or toxicology every month, and follow him to personally concoct and test various poisons, perhaps around two hundred types. Later, after becoming Tang the Elder’s apprentice, he taught her to recognize about fifty kinds of Gu poisons. This quantity, it could be said, basically covered all the poisons existing in today’s world, and she had even personally consumed each type. So she generally understood the taste of toxins and what kind of reaction occurs after ingestion.
However, the poison on Wang Zhengzheng’s body was beyond her knowledge.
Previously, the coroner detected that Wang Zhengzheng’s body was covered with this poison, and it was found in her stomach, meaning she truly ingested this poison. However, her medicine pills couldn’t possibly be poisonous, indicating someone must have fed the poison to Wang Zhengzheng.
But the Xu Family isn’t just any household; they also have a Protector. It’s impossible to feed poison without anyone noticing, so the only suspect would be someone close to her who tricked her into taking it...
But who could it be?
Moreover, even if the poison was administered, it acted immediately, causing instant death. But would there really be such an amount of poison that even the toes have it?
Forget it, without any leads, she could only set it aside. Yang Ruxin began to seriously examine Wang Zhengzheng’s corpse.
While she wasn’t as familiar with human anatomy as a forensic expert, she still had some basic knowledge. She focused on the stomach, but there was nothing particularly noteworthy. Such a toxic poison that causes instant death must be extremely potent, and once ingested, it would immediately be lethal. Once the person dies, the metabolism stops, and the poison would be preserved in the body.
However, after examining it twice, she still couldn’t find anything unusual.
The consequences of being so intensely focused were physical exhaustion.
In an instant, Yang Ruxin felt dizzy and the world spinning around her.
"Xinxin." Gu Qingheng noticed Yang Ruxin’s abnormality and caught her just as she began to sway.
"What’s wrong?" The Crown Prince asked, worry etched on his face.
Yang Ruxin leaned against Gu Qingheng with her eyes closed, resting for a moment until she finally regained her composure, then shook her head. "Nothing, just over-concentrated, feeling a bit tired."
"Madam, that’s not how an autopsy is done..." Hen Bingwen quietly came over to remind her.
