Chapter 258 - 163: Trap
"Indeed, what does that have to do with anything?" Even though County Magistrate Song had not understood the autopsy terms that Ran Yan had mentioned earlier, seeing Liu Qingsong’s attitude, he did not dare to show too much disrespect.
"Does the deceased have any tattoos?" Ran Yan examined the entire body carefully, her gaze lingering on the areas where large patches of blood had adhered.
Liu Qingsong glanced at the body, which had its abdomen slashed and intestines spilled out, and said, "There are few wounds on the back and no tattoos have been found. The limbs and abdomen are severely damaged, and there is too much blood, which needs to be cleaned up before we can see clearly, especially on the abdomen and the forearms..."
When a person is attacked, if there really is nothing to hide behind, they will instinctively use their arms to fend off the attack. The right arm of this corpse was shattered, the bones were broken, so it was impossible to see if there were any tattoos.
After a moment of consideration, Ran Yan asked County Magistrate Song, "I heard that the beggar was found in a deep alley, with the sky overcast and torrential rain pouring down. How did the embroiderer discover the beggar’s body?"
County Magistrate Song responded, "The embroiderer has a kind heart and has continually given charity to Liu Wen. She was worried that Liu Wen would have no place to shelter from the heavy rain that day, so she brought him an umbrella, only to find a corpse that had long been dead."
Liu Qingsong did not join in the conversation between the two but instead had people set up partitions with white cloth around the body and began to clean the corpse.
The matter of the embroiderer did not seem suspicious, and Ran Yan slightly raised her eyebrows, "How old is the embroiderer? What does she look like? Does she have a family? What is her relationship with Liu Wen?"
