Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 548: Deceiving the Heavens and Crossing the Sea!
The forensic doctor naturally did not dare to hesitate, got up to pay his respects to Liu Sisi, and then said.

“Madam, since the corpses in the governmental office mostly die from unnatural causes, and due to concerns about the adverse effects of temperature, the corpses are soaked in anti-decay solution when transported to Yizhuang. This is the reason why the corpses can be preserved for a long time.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is!”

Liu Sisi nodded again and again, looking as if she understood.

However, a moment later, she still shook her head: “But…I still feel something’s not right. Look at her face, why is it so enchanting?”

“What enchanting or not enchanting? Madam, I have been tolerant of you out of respect for Lord Gan, but why do you continue to desecrate the dead? What is your intention?”

County Magistrate Su’s face was filled with grief.

“Moreover, Liu Sisi, you and Di Yelei are a married couple, who would dare believe what you say?”

“County Magistrate Su, as a devoted official to the civilians, why do you like to falsely accuse others? Instead of arguing with Sisi here, why don’t you take a look for yourself? See if what Sisi said is false?”

Liu Sisi sneered secretly, but her face was as innocent as possible, blinking her long, curled eyelashes.

Such a situation made Di Yelei’s back feel chilly, and Sisi was up to her tricks again!

“I’ll look at it if I have to, am I afraid of you?”

County Magistrate Su strode down from the court and looked down beside Cailian’s corpse: “What are we looking at? Isn’t everything fine? Is there a problem… Oh my God!”

He too was startled by Cailian’s face! He fell to the ground and almost lost his temper.

Everyone hurriedly stretched out their necks, carefully examining the appearance of the deceased.

Sure enough, as Liu Sisi said, what a beautiful face!

Liu Sisi looked innocent, her eyes as clear as a pool of water as she looked at County Magistrate Su.

“Lord County Magistrate, do you see it now? Cailian’s face is even more beautiful and better-looking than when she was alive!”

County Magistrate Su did not respond! Xin Quan and Mrs. Su above were dumbfounded and speechless.

The civilians who had come to watch the trial today also swarmed forward, one by one, carefully examining the deceased’s face.

“Oh my! It’s indeed more beautiful than a living person’s face! Is this really a dead person who has been dead for more than half a month? It doesn’t look like it.”

“What? Already dead for more than half a month? What’s going on? Why didn’t the face of the dead person change? This is strange.”

“Could it be that this person is actually alive, but people mistakenly thought she was dead…”

“I also think there is a possibility. Should we call a doctor…”

Everyone was talking loudly, pushing and shoving, saying all kinds of things.

At this moment, everyone’s concern was no longer whether Di Yelei was the criminal, but whether the so-called deceased was still alive or not.

Everyone on the court looked terrible! Especially County Magistrate Su and his wife, who couldn’t express their bitterness under Xin Quan’s surprised gaze.

Initially, fearing the news would leak, they acted without resorting to others. They knew whether Cailian was dead or alive.

At the moment, seeing the surrounding people yelling that Cailian was still alive, the two naturally felt guilty.

“Ah! I know the reason now!”

Just as everyone was at a stalemate, the forensic doctor beside them suddenly slapped himself and thought of a question.

The forensic doctor gave County Magistrate Su a fist greeting: “Lord Su, in the past, I have heard that there are people of extraordinary talent in the common society who can make lifelike human skin masks for disguise. It is said that these masks are specially treated, and anyone wearing them can change into any appearance they want. I was wondering, is Miss Cailian still alive?”

“What? Are you certain such a method exists?”

County Magistrate Su stared blankly at the forensic doctor, wishing he could tear his big mouth apart.

The forensic doctor was still immersed in the possibility that he had discovered the truth of the matter and had not come to his senses.

Hearing this, he quickly nodded: “Your Honor, I may not know how to make human skin masks, but I have heard about the face-changing technique using human skin masks from my Master before—this is my first time seeing it! However, my Master also said that to remove the human skin mask, you need to carefully search and find the edges before you can take it off.”

As the forensic doctor spoke, his fingers gently searched along the hairline of the corpse.

Liu Sisi quietly took a few steps back, away from the pungent smell of the corpse and the preservative, and looked up at Di Yelei.

She had done what she was supposed to do, and now it was up to him to finish the rest.

Di Yelei gave her a slight nod, signaling her not to worry.

County Magistrate Su and the others, on the other hand, looked more nervous and wanted to slap the forensic doctor dead.

Then, they said in a threatening tone, “Did you find it? If not, it’s probably just… ”

“Found it! It really is a human skin mask!”

The forensic doctor’s hands constantly searched along the hairline of the deceased when his expression suddenly returned to normal! Interrupting County Magistrate Su.

As his words fell, his fingers slowly moved, and sure enough, a thin layer of human skin was peeled off from the hairline, revealing a decaying face underneath.

Even so, the difference between the two faces was so great that one could tell at a glance that they were not the same person at all.

“It turns out there really are two people, and the deceased’s face did have a human skin mask on it!”

“Heavens! Who on earth did this? How could they deceive so many people? ”

“The question now is, if the deceased is not Lord Su’s niece, then who is she? Where has Su’s niece gone?”

“…”

Everyone fell silent, finally focusing their eyes on County Magistrate Su.

County Magistrate Su felt a sense of panic in his heart: “This… I don’t know about this matter either…”

He was also questioning in his heart: had Cailian been replaced by someone else before she was killed? Or was she harmed after she died?

The surrounding people’s faces didn’t look good, either, and their hearts were probably pondering the same question.

“Ah! How could this happen? This… isn’t this my poor daughter who died of a serious illness?”

One of the businessmen dressed as a middle-aged man in the crowd looked left and right, growing more and more incredulous.

“Lord County Magistrate, how did my daughter end up here? I clearly sent her up the hill and buried her 20 days ago. Which damned person did this heartless thing? Lord County Magistrate, you must seek justice for the common people!”

The businessman couldn’t suppress his grief and anger any longer and cried out loud.

The onlookers sighed. This was a true case of unwarranted disaster!
