Yang Qiuchi looked back at Jingci: "Master, is Yuantong's statement true?"

Jingci thought for a while, nodded, and said, "It was indeed dawn that day when they went down the mountain to beg for alms. I just got up, and it should be no more than an hour after the fifth day of the day."

Yang Qiuchi asked Yuantong: "I'll ask you again, what day did you sneak back to the temple to carry Yuanhui's body to the top of the mountain?"

"Late the night before yesterday."

Yang Qiuchi nodded: "That means that after you kill someone, go down the mountain and when you come back to carry the body, it will take about two days and two nights. Have you ever been back in the middle?"

Yuantong said affirmatively: "No. I have been with two other senior sisters, and they can testify."

Yang Qiuchi looked at the two nuns who went down the mountain to beg for alms with Yuantong. An older nun said, "That day, the three of us went down the mountain together. Junior Sister Yuantong said we should not go far, and beg for alms in the villages near the foot of the mountain. We all heard that a killer recently appeared in the nearby prefectures and counties, who specialized in killing women and cut off the breasts...the breasts of women were thrown around. We were very scared and dared not go far."

Another nun, who was a little younger, said, "Yes, although Senior Sister Yuantong knows how to work, we are still very scared, so the three of us beg for alms near the foot of the mountain. However, the villages at the foot of the mountain have more or less donated to the temples. They are poor and the rich are stingy, so they have not transformed into much after two days."

Yang Qiuchi asked: "Have you been together these two days?"

The little nun said, "Yes, we went to beg for alms together during the day and lived together at night. However, on the second night we both slept very hard. We slept until dawn and didn't wake up halfway. We wondered why we slept so hard. So, we didn't know that the night of Yuantong went to the mountain."

Yang Qiuchi looked at Yuantong: "Is it your hands and feet?"

Yuantong lowered her head and said, "Yes, I added medicine to calm the mind and help the gods sleep in their meals."

Yang Qiuchi smiled and said, "You have planned it, so these things are ready." After a pause, he asked the two nuns again: "You don't know the second night, what about the first night? Are you sleeping so hard?"

The big nun said, "I never slept the most deadly that night. I was old and had some insomnia. Sometimes I couldn't sleep all night. The three of us went down the mountain for one night. Although I fell asleep for a while, I probably wouldn't have been able to sleep for more than an hour, and then I couldn't sleep."

"What about Yuantong? Will Yuantong be with you that night?"

The big nun said, "Together."

"Will she use clothes to stuff herself into the quilt and other things? Didn't you notice it?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"How could it be? On such a hot day, the quilt only covers the belly, and the head and most of the body are still exposed."

The little nun also proved that: "Yes, I slept until midnight that night. I wanted to get up and go to the cottage. It was dark outside. I was even more scared when I remembered the killer who killed women with bricks and cut..., so I woke up Yuantong and asked her to accompany me. She accompanied me to the cottage."

It took four hours to go up and down the mountain with this finger peak. Judging from the testimony of these two nuns, Yuantong was with them except for the second night and had no time to go up the mountain.

After obtaining the proof, Yang Qiuchi suddenly changed his mind and said, "I just said that there is another important thing to do. You must want to know what this important thing is, the case of Yuantong killing Yuanhui. There is another doubt that has not been found out. I will investigate it tonight before the final decision will be finalized."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. A question that affected the final decision? What would it be? They all looked up at Yang Qiuchi.

Yang Qiuchi said: "Before talking about the serious business, I will first tell you a little common sense of autopsy. I am not afraid of you making jokes. I used to be an apprentice who was offended for a while and did not do anything well. I almost got swept out by my master. Later, I became an official by chance."

When all the nuns heard Yang Qiuchi talk about their embarrassing things, they would smile heartily, and they became more kind to the young magistrate.

"This common sense of autopsy is that after a person dies, the blood in the body will accumulate, thus forming corpse spots at the low point of the corpse - that is, purple-red spots on the corpse. About five or six hours after death (note: ten to twelve hours), if the corpse turns over, the corpse spots will accumulate again to the new low point of the body. However, at this time, the corpse spots in the place where the corpse spots originally formed will not completely fade, but will diminish, and the new low point will form new corpse spots, which are also lighter in the color."

The nuns listened in a vague way and looked at Yang Qiuchi in a daze.

Yang Qiuchi continued: "In a simple sentence, if a place where corpse spots are found on a corpse is formed, it proves that the corpse has been moved! If the color is lighter, it means that the time of movement should be about six hours after death."

The nuns still stared at Yang Qiuchi in a daze, not understanding what he said to prove.

Yang Qiuchi smiled slightly: "The following is the main topic-I found two corresponding corpse spots with relatively light colors on the body of the deceased Yuanhui!"

He stretched out his left hand, gestured for a moment, and said, "The two corpse spots I found on the inside and outside of Yuanhui's left arm were lighter in color, proving that about five or six hours after Yuanhui was killed, her arm had been moved."

Now the nuns reacted a little and started to talk in a low voice.

After they were quiet, Yang Qiuchi continued to say, "I have just checked that there was no mountain between the time after Yuantong's murder and the disguise scene two days later. The only one in the nunnery who knew that Yuanhui was dead was Yuanmiao, but Yuanmiao was so timid and quiet, he would not run to Yuanhui's room alone to move the corpse."

"Besides, the doors and windows that were bolted from the inside proved that she had never been there. She didn't know that Yuanhui's windows could actually be lifted up and opened from the outside. That was the hands and feet of Yuantong. This was deliberately loosened when she and Yuanhui were in love to sneak in. She couldn't tell Yuanmiao about this kind of thing, nor could she tell others, so Yuanmiao couldn't get in, and the rest of you could not get into this room that was bolted inside."

"Since no one has ever been in, that is to say, two days and two nights after Yuanhui's death... in just twenty-four hours, no one has moved the corpse, that is, it would be strange. Could it be that the corpse was tired of lying down and turned his arm over?"

When everyone heard this, they felt a chill on their backs and looked at each other.

"Of course not!" Yang Qiuchi said in a deep voice, "Yuantong sneaked into Yuanhui's room that night and killed people. After she strangled Yuanhui to death, she was about to move the body out for treatment. But when she lifted the quilt, Yuanhui's hand slid, which scared her. She thought it was a corpse. After she found out that it was not, she put her hand back again, because she heard that someone was walking outside, and it was inconvenient to carry the body out, so she left without moving. The two corpse spots on Yuanhui's corpse's arm have told us that the arm had been moved, and it was at this time."

Speaking of this, Yang Qiuchi turned his head and asked Yuantong: "Think about it carefully, did Yuanhui react when you pinch Yuanhui? For example, kicking your legs and feet, moving your hands, and swaying your head?"

Yuantong lowered her head and thought for a while, frowned and said with a strange look: "Maybe she slept too hard, and the room was too dark at night. I couldn't see clearly." As she said that, she frowned and shook her head, "It's a little wrong when I think about it now. When I pinched her, I felt that she didn't seem to move or resist, and her neck was cold..."

"By the way!" Yang Qiuchi slapped the table and said, "You must know that only dead people's bodies will appear corpse spots! Six hours after the person died, someone moved the corpse's arms, and then they formed corpse spots on both sides of the arms. Since no one moved the corpse within two days after Yuanhui's death, there was only one possibility," Yang Qiuchi stopped at this point, looked around at everyone, and then slowly said, "Six hours before Yuantong pinched Yuanhui and moved Yuanhui's arms, Yuanhui was already dead! Yuantong pinched a corpse!"

As soon as this said, everyone was shocked.

Yuantong was even more shocked and could hardly believe his ears.

Yang Qiuchi then explained: "Therefore, the truth should be like this: Yuanhui had dinner with everyone that evening, and Yuanjue proved that she was in a good mood at that time. After dinner, she returned to the Zen room, and the real murderer who followed or lurked in the room strangled her - she was strangled to death. There is no doubt about this - the murderer escaped from the room. At the fifth update that night, Yuantong sneaked into the room and pinched Yuanhui. At this time, Yuanhui had been dead for five or six hours. When Yuantong put Yuanhui's left arm back, he turned the position of his arm, causing the corpse zombie to move, which formed a pot in the corresponding part."

Yuantong and Yuanmiao were tightly pulled together, and an excitement flashed in their eyes. Of course, they knew that if what Yang Qiuchi said was true, when Yuantong killed Yuanhui, Yuanhui was already dead, then Yuantong's sin would be much lighter, at least he would not be sentenced to death!

Song Yuner was also surprised by this dramatic scene and asked, "Brother, have you found out who the real murderer is?"
