“General Fan, you’ve worked hard. Leave the rest to us. You can take your leave.” Judge Wu’s attention was completely focused on Beauty Yin as he spoke to General Fan expressionlessly.

General Fan’s face also revealed a fawning smile. He nodded his head and agreed, “Yes, this lowly one will take my leave now.”

After General Fan left with his guards, Gu Qingxue picked up the sharp scalpel on the stone table. She looked at Judge Wu and said, “Let’s begin.”

Judge Wu nodded. He helped Gu Qingxue cut open the clothes on the corpse.

Due to the special method of preserving the corpse, even after more than 20 years, Beauty Yin’s corpse did not decay, nor did it have any stench. Instead, it emitted a faint medicinal fragrance. Moreover, although her skin was harder than most people’s, her joints were not stiff. With a little force, he could pry open her hands in front of her body and reveal her flat stomach.

Gu Qingxue’s scalpel was suspended above Beauty Yin’s lower abdomen. Then, as she took a deep breath, the sharp blade lowered and slowly cut open Beauty Yin’s belly.

Immediately, a foul smell poured out from her open stomach. The strange and pungent smell was almost nauseating!

Gu Qingxue and Judge Wu both took a step back at the same time from the pungent smell.

“What’s this smell? How can it be so disgusting? ” Judge Wu almost could not breathe. He looked at the corpse in disbelief. He did not expect that the corpse could still have such a disgusting smell after being processed.

Before the bodies of the concubines or consorts were buried, they had to go through a very strict process. Otherwise, Beauty Yin’s body would not have been preserved for such a long time without rotting.

However, the unusual stench in Beauty Yin’s body was indeed a little strange. “Judge Wu, please take a look. The inside of Beauty Yin’s body has already started to rot. However, because the body has been processed, the speed of the decay has been delayed.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she opened up Beauty Yin’s stomach further.

Through the gloves, Gu Qingxue could clearly feel what was inside Beauty Yin’s stomach. It was like a soft cotton ball. With a slight touch, it melted into a stinky pool of blood, gathering into a ball and acc.u.mulating in her body. “I’ve heard that only those who die from poisoning have their internal organs rot.” Judge Wu had not learned the work of a coroner, so he could only act as an a.s.sistant, standing by Gu Qingxue’s side and helping her.

Gu Qingxue took out a sterilized jade bottle that she had prepared in advance and stored the strange blood in it. “You’re right. Beauty Yin’s current situation shows that it’s very likely that she was poisoned. However, we can’t rule out other reasons. Judge Wu, please help me cut open Beauty Yin’s neck. I want to see if she has taken any poison.”

With the help of Judge Wu, he quickly, accurately, and ruthlessly cut down the flesh and bones under Beauty Yin’s skin, exposing them to the air.

At the same time, the strange smell hit them in the face, almost enough to make them faint.

Fortunately, Judge Wu had covered his face, so it blocked away some of the stench. “Qingxue, come and take a look. Beauty Yin’s throat is black. It’s obvious that she was poisoned when she was alive..”
