Chapter 378 - 372 Digging Graves for Autopsies



“Da Lang, do you remember the details of Zhao Baolin and his wifes death?” Zhao Chuchu decided to ask Xie Heng.

Xie Heng replied, “I remember that they both contracted a serious illness and died one after another. I was still very young back then, so I cannot remember the exact details clearly.”

Zhao Chuchu stated her suspicions. “I don’t know why, but I get the feeling that their deaths are abnormal.”

“Why so?”

“The plague that Lengshui Village faced when I arrived was just a minor illness in my time. However, it was still fatal for all of you, so I felt it was normal that Zhao Baolin and his wife died at such a young age. However, after seeing Old Man Zhao and Zhao Baotian’s actions over the past few days, I feel that it wouldn’t be unusual if these two men murdered Zhao Baolin and his wife.”

She continued, “After all, getting treated requires money. Once the Zhao clan felt that Zhao Baolin and his wife were beyond saving, they might have left the couple to die!”

In his previous life, Xie Heng had left Lengshui Village after he passed the Imperial Examination. Even after he became grand secretary, he had not returned. He did not know how Old Man Zhao and the Zhao clan ended up.

Moreover, in his previous life, Zhao Chuchu had died during the plague. It was even more unlikely that he would investigate the deaths of Zhao Baolin and his wife.

By the time he was reborn, these events had already passed.

He asked, “So, what do you plan to do?”

“I plan to dig up their graves and carry out an autopsy on their corpses.”

Only by inspecting their corpses could she be certain whether Zhao Baolin and his wife had died of illness or poison.

Zhao Chuchu had her suspicions, so she had to prove them.

Xie Heng said, “I will follow you.”

She teased. “Shouldn’t you be stopping me in such a situation?

“If they actually died due to such schemes, you will be giving them justice. Why would I stop you?

“By right, you should advocate for the dead to be left to rest in peace and that gravediggers should be punished.”

“The truth is more important.”

Zhao Chuchu was the type of person who liked to take action.

Late at night, she and Xie Heng quietly went to the graves of the parents of the original owner of this body.

Xie Heng said, “Pass me the shovel.” Zhao Chuchu did not ask him to bring anything. He believed that she had placed them in her carry-on space.

Zhao Chuchu raised her eyebrows. She asked, “Do we need to do such things ourselves?

She took out two excavating robots. Xie Heng was stunned when he saw this.

The robots could automatically detect objects underground. They would then determine how deep they needed to dig. Zhao Chuchu and Xie Heng did not need to lift a finger.

Zhao Chuchu sat down with Xie Heng to the side. They enjoyed the night breeze as they watched the robots work.

“Are these robots?” The love for robots must be embedded in the souls of men. Xie Heng kept staring at the robots intently. His eyes were full of curiosity. He asked, “Or are these sage arts from your time?

Aside from this, Xie Heng did not know how to explain what he was seeing.

Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, ‘Yes, they are robots, not sage arts.”

“Can I have a closer look later?”

“Of course, you can.”

Xie Heng’s eyes were practically overflowing with joy.

He had seen robots before, but they were far less intricate than the ones before him now.

He wondered what sort of world could create such devices.

Xie Heng longed to experience such a prosperous world.

The robots were very efficient. They reached a coffin in less than half an hour and immediately stopped.

Zhao Chuc.hu passed Xie Heng a specially made mask. She instructed, “Put it

on.”

She then took out her tools for the autopsy, leaped into the grave, and opened the coffin.

After more than a decade, only their dried bones remained.

They were in a graveyard late at night with skeletons; these elements combined made a thrilling opening.

However, with the main protagonist being Zhao Chuchu, everything seemed calm.

She had the help of instruments from the future. She carried out the autopsy swiftly.

Once again, Xie Heng witnessed the power of technology.

“He died due to poison!” The autopsy soon yielded results. Zhao Chuchu looked at Xie Heng and announced, “Zhao Baolin did not die due to sickness alone.”

“Was it the same for his wife?”

“Most likely.”

As Zhao Chuchu said this, she opened another coffin.

It was common for the people here to bury a deceased married couple together in the same grave.

Upon examination, Zhao Chuchu discovered that the cause of death of Xia

Xiaoxiao was the same as that of Zhao Baolin. Both of them died due to poison.

The real Zhao Chuchu was the only one who died due to the plague. Her parents were actually killed!

Zhao Chuchu was enraged.

Zhao Baolin and his wife were kind to everyone when they were alive, yet no good deeds went unpunished!

If she had not been reborn here, they would most likely have been murdered, and the truth would be forever unknown.

“I plan to report this to the authorities,” declared Zhao Chuchu in a slightly cold tone. “The Zhao clan did it anyway. So, I need to see justice carried out.”

“What if the coroner fails to confirm our results?” retorted Xie Heng. “They are not as incredible as you are.”

‘Even if the coroner comes to inspect the corpses, it won’t be too complicated. I merely wanted to be fast, so I did not use ordinary methods. I still believe in the coroner’s abilities.”

Xie Heng reasoned, “Chuchu, I think you overestimate the ability of the coroners in Yuanjiang County. The people from the Ministry of Justice will most likely be able to identify their true cause of death. However, you’d better not expect so much from the local coroners.”

“I can’t kill the members of the Zhao clan directly to avenge Zhao Baolin and his wife, can I?”

“I’m not asking you to do so. You can falsify some evidence to allow the local coroners to identify their cause of death.”

“Falsify?”

“Since we have determined that they died of poison, we need to bring the truth to light. As for how we do so, that is not important.”

Xie Heng then whispered some things in Zhao Chuchu’s ear. Zhao Chuc.hu’s eyes lit up as she said, “Alright. I will follow your plan.”

Xie Heng’s plan was simple. It involved scaring the Zhao clan.

“I beg your pardon. I am forced to do this because I hope that the true cause of your death can be made known to the public. I hope to bring you justice by convicting the perpetrators. Please forgive me,” Zhao Chuchu mumbled as she did something to the bones.

After she finished, she closed the coffins, buried them, and restored the graves to their original state

Unfortunately, she did not have thunder-type superpowers. Otherwise, she could cleave the land apart with a lightning strike and claim it as the work of the gods. It would be more convincing for people of this era.

“Let’s go home,” Zhao Chuchu said. When she noticed that Xie Heng was still examining the robots, she added, “You can check them out at home. It’s too cold out here.”

Xie Heng nodded in agreement.

When they returned home, some hot water was still left in the kitchen.

Zhao Chuc.hu left the robots in the room and went to take a bath. When she got out of the bathroom, she discovered that Xie Heng had disassembled the robots.

He was reassembling them now.

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

As expected, all men loved machinery!

Xie Heng was very focused on his work. He actually remembered how the robots looked before dismantling them. However, his speed of putting the pieces back together was rather slow.

Zhao Chuchu squatted down beside him. She purposely sighed and said, “Sigh. You have destroyed my robots.”

‘Give me some time. I will put them back together.” Xie Heng paused what he was doing and glanced at Zhao Chuchu. Then, he comforted her, saying, “They should still be fine. I was very careful when I took them apart.”

“Can you really remember where each part goes?

“Yes, I can.”

Upon hearing his confident response, Zhao Chuchu chose to stay awake. She sat beside him on a small stool.

When dawn came, Xie Heng finished putting in the last component.

Zhao Chuchu tested it out. The robot worked as usual.

She was stunned.

As expected, geniuses like Xie Heng existed to deal blows to the confidence of others.
