After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 319 Lord Jiao, listen to my advice!
"As for the time of death..."

Old Yao pointed to the corpse in the farthest distance: "Look, except for the one who died earlier, the others died at almost the same time."

"But even the one who died earlier, like the others, died between 5 PM and 7 PM the day before yesterday."

Jiao Bubai frowned immediately upon hearing this: "The day before yesterday?"

What did the city gate guards and the people in these families witness?
Surely these people can't all be lying, right?

"That's right, the day before yesterday!"

Old Yao shrugged: "I know what you want to ask. These people were alive and well yesterday, appearing in front of people, seen by the guards at the city gate, and they might even have passed by some street and been seen by more people... But the autopsy results are like this!"

"Otherwise, you can find some other coroners to examine the bodies separately, and then write down the autopsy results on paper to see if they match what I said. These people died the night before last, between 5 PM and 7 PM."

Jiao Bubai quickly apologized, "Old Yao, I absolutely did not mean to doubt you."

"I just find it unbelievable..."

Old Yao waved his hand, interrupting him: "I know, I didn't say you doubted me. In fact, you're not the only one who finds this result unbelievable; I'm just as shocked."

"That's why I suggested you find more people with coroner experience, even if you have to be transferred from other places. Having more people to conduct the examinations separately will make the results more accurate when you compare them."

Old Yao let out a long sigh: "To be honest, Lord Jiao, I was already shocked when I heard you tell me that these people were walking on the street yesterday, and were seen by the city gate guards and their families."

"I even started to wonder if I'm just getting old and starting to get dementia, which is why the autopsy went wrong..."

He paused briefly, then quickly regained his composure: "But I still have considerable confidence in my abilities." "Rather than doubting myself, I feel that there's some unspeakable secret behind this case, or perhaps it involves some other reason..."

Jiao Bubai frowned, keenly catching the key meaning in Lao Yao's words: "Is there another reason involved?"

"what do you mean?"

Old Yao shrugged: "I didn't mean anything by it. After all, Confucius said, 'Don't talk about strange phenomena, physical prowess, disorder, or spirits.'"

"But I heard that a female official recently came to the yamen to assist in the case. She has the ability to communicate with spirits."

Jiao Bubai immediately thought of Song Lan.

Jiao Bubai didn't know if Song Lan had any psychic abilities, but he did know that when Song Lan grabbed the judges and ghost messengers of the underworld, his technique was as skillful as if he were picking up a chick.

"Moreover, I have indeed heard of a method that can make a person who has just died look almost indistinguishable from a living person, and not like a zombie with stiff limbs that make it obvious that the person is dead."

"But this is just hearsay, and no one can say for sure whether it's true or not."

Old Yao glanced at Jiao Bubai, his expression grave: "Moreover, if this is indeed the case, then we need to ask this lady to come and help us even more."

"After all, when it comes to things like evil cultivators, demons and monsters, we ordinary people are powerless even if we encounter the real culprit."

"There's even a possibility of just throwing your life away."

He raised his hand and patted Jiao Bubai on the shoulder: "Lord Jiao, listen to my advice!"
