Chapter 1248

"My lord, we do not accept the autopsy conclusion of the Heavenly Prison's medical official and coroner!" The people from the Nanguo Mansion shouted one after another.

Seeing things developing in an uncontrollable direction, the whole family became anxious. They started to quibble, look for loopholes, delay time, and seek opportunities to cause trouble!

Chen Guanlou laughed coldly and cursed, "A guilty conscience!"

"Who are you calling a thief?"

"Whoever answers is the thief!"

"You..."

"Are you sure you want to make a move on me?" Chen Guanlou looked at the other side starting to cover their sleeves, smiling but not smiling, and even a bit eager to try.

"I..."

"Scared? At least you have some self-knowledge! I will reluctantly let you off."

He had said everything that needed to be said.

Magistrate Ge's mood was different again; a lowly prison warden calling himself 'this official' in front of him—was he serious? He really didn't feel embarrassed.

"Even if you are a Ninth-Rank warrior, don't think about threatening us. In short, we do not accept this autopsy conclusion."

"My lord, since they don't accept it, please invite people from the Brocade Uniform Guard to help with the autopsy; that should be fine, right? I believe the Brocade Uniform Guard's coroners will definitely be impartial and fair. Everyone from the Nanguo Mansion, do you have any objections?"

Everyone from the Nanguo Mansion:...

"Can you invite a coroner from the Brocade Uniform Guard?"

"What a joke! If I can't invite them, can't Magistrate Ge invite them? You all underestimate Magistrate Ge too much!"

Magistrate Ge:...

There was no need to praise him like that!

Gu Yiyang was eating melon the whole time; it turned out that today's court session had nothing to do with him. He just came over to show his face to prove that he had enough respect for the Shuntian Prefecture. If he had known this, why would he have been like facing a great enemy, with a private secretary specializing in criminal law, a steward good at dealing with the government, and three or five fox friends?

The posture was sufficient, but there was no room for performance.

Things were completely under Chen Guanlou's control.

Magistrate Ge gave a light cough. "Since the plaintiff does not accept this autopsy result, someone, take my name card and go to the Brocade Uniform Guard to invite people. Make sure they send two experienced coroners to perform the autopsy."

The subordinates followed orders and left.

The remaining time couldn't be spent just sitting around, so let's try the case.

First, clarify the process of the incident.

Gu Yiyang took the lead on this, taking the initiative to stand out and describe the events of that day in detail. Insufficient details were supplemented by the group of playboys who participated in the brawl that day. And the brothel's pimp, the girls, and the madam all came out to testify, explaining the situation that night.

The details of the process were all very clear.

The key was who exactly beat the deceased to death, and whether the injuries on the body really had a time difference.

Fortunately, at this time, the coroner from the Brocade Uniform Guard arrived.

Accompanying them was Xiao Jincheng, the Commander of the Brocade Uniform Guard.

Magistrate Ge stood up immediately. "Why did Commander Xiao come?"

"I heard you have a case where you can't figure out the time of the deceased's injuries, and I had nothing to do, so I came to listen in. Magistrate Ge wouldn't be unwelcoming, would he?"

"Welcome, welcome!"

Asking for help and effort, how could he not be welcome?

"Hurry up and give Commander Xiao a seat!"

So there was an extra chair in the hall, right at the first position on Magistrate Ge's left hand.

Slap!

The gavel struck, and the noisy hall instantly became quiet.

"Plaintiffs, now the coroner from the Brocade Uniform Guard has arrived. Do you accept them? Don't come back and say you don't accept it after the autopsy conclusion comes out. I warn you, time is limited, and I cannot let you mess around forever."

This...

Everyone from the Nanguo Mansion exchanged glances.

Finally, they nodded. "We accept the autopsy conclusion of the Brocade Uniform Guard's coroner. No matter what the result is, we accept it!"

"That's very good!" Magistrate Ge's tone relaxed! "Start the autopsy!"

Chen Guanlou was familiar with the coroner sent by the Brocade Uniform Guard, having dealt with him several times.

This was stable.

As long as the other side didn't mess around, with their autopsy ability, they would definitely be able to see the problems with the corpse.

Sure enough, soon, the Brocade Uniform Guard's coroner reached the same conclusion as the Heavenly Prison's coroner. The strike caused death, and it was an immediate death! The injuries on the body all had time differences. And they gave a more accurate time difference.

"Twelve hours apart!"

"Really?"

The coroner was expressionless. "I've seen many similar injuries in the Imperial Prison. Even if I were performing the autopsy with my eyes closed, I wouldn't get it wrong!"

Since they were using their profession as a guarantee, Magistrate Ge had no more doubts!

"Third Master, how does your family see it?"

He looked toward the family of the third branch of the Nanguo Mansion. "You accept this conclusion, right?"

The whole family exchanged glances, knowing clearly that since the play couldn't go on, they should be decisive.

"Reporting to my lord, we accept it! However, this only shows that someone killed my son after the brawl. It doesn't mean that Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen and Magistrate Gu are not suspects. In case they held a grudge and sneaked into my mansion the next day to kill him quietly, it's also possible."

"Damn it..." Gu Yiyang couldn't hold it in anymore, jumping up and cursing wildly. "Zhang the Third, what kind of thing are you? I didn't even put you in my eyes; could I care about your son, and sneak into your house to kill him? How big is your face! You don't even look at how your Zhang family has declined; if you want to blackmail, just say so. What kind of skill is it to splash dirty water on me? You dead rascal, today I'll fight you to the death, even if I have to give up this official skin."

Before the words had even fallen, Gu Yiyang rushed up like a gust of wind and started fighting with the other side.

His three or five fox friends, seeing a fight, all became excited and rushed up one after another.

The group of playboys who participated in the brawl saw this, and as the saying goes, losing the person doesn't mean losing the battle, so they joined the fighting industry. For a time, more than a dozen people were fighting in a group, and the hall instantly turned into a brawl scene, with shoes and socks flying.

One boot even landed on Magistrate Ge's desk.

Magistrate Ge was furious, smashing the gavel hard. "Presumptuous! Absurd! Why don't you hurry up and pull them apart? What are you all standing there for?"

The yamen runners were addicted to watching the fun and almost offended Magistrate Ge. Now that they had received orders, regardless of anything else, they rushed forward to pull people apart, incidentally throwing a few punches.

Facing this scene, Xiao Jincheng really wanted to laugh.

But he had to maintain his persona, maintain his coffin face, and could only laugh secretly in his heart. On the surface, he was still the same, unmoved.

He whispered to Chen Guanlou: "Where there is Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, there is no shortage of excitement."

"What does Commander Xiao mean by this? Are you accusing me of being a troublemaker? If it weren't for your help today, I wouldn't be polite and would go sit in your Brocade Uniform Guard."

Chen Guanlou snorted twice.

If the man surnamed Xiao wanted to be sarcastic, he wouldn't mind helping the other side spend money to avoid disaster.

Xiao Jincheng gave a light cough. "Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen always likes to measure a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart; what I mean is that you see the big picture from small details and can always discover the truth from a detail."

That was more like it.

Chen Guanlou smiled. "I have received your praise. But I will not help your Brocade Uniform Guard solve cases, nor will I help you abuse prisoners. I was born a person of the Ministry of Justice, and I will die a ghost of the Ministry of Justice!"

Xiao Jincheng:...

It was all his own fault for talking too much!
