Abandoned Woman Busy Farming-Chapter 2504 - 2505: The Peculiar Coroner

Sa Tian took a deep breath, "How could this happen!"

Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth, saying nothing. Back then, in Xinye, this might have been the only corpse they could find, but it was indeed too careless.

"You help me keep watch, I’ll think of a way." Bai Ruozhu instructed in a low voice.

At this moment, the shouts of the prison guards could be heard outside: "Why is there a deer here? Quick, catch it!"

Due to the wild deer suddenly appearing in the government office, the examiner also waited outside, watching a group of prison guards attempting to catch the deer, finding it quite peculiar. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Bai Ruozhu calmed herself, letting her mind quiet down. She couldn’t panic; she needed to stay calm to think of a countermeasure.

That’s right! If the martial arts had been abolished, the corpse would be just like an ordinary person.

She quickly put on gloves, took out the medicine liquid, and began to manipulate the wounds on the corpse. Many parts were rotting, forcing Bai Ruozhu to avoid those areas; otherwise, if the rotten flesh was affected by the medicine, the degree of decay would change, easily revealing flaws.

After finishing, she then pulled out a dagger, swiftly cutting tendons at the corpse’s hands and feet, similarly treating the wounds. But these couldn’t be old injuries; they had to be wounds sustained before death.

Immediately, she channeled a bit of her inner strength into the corpse. This was a deceased body; too much inner strength wouldn’t be retained, only causing the body to burst. But a small amount was manageable, and it would create the impression that this ninja had their cultivation base destroyed, their inner strength lost, retaining only a trace.

Once she was done with everything, Bai Ruozhu felt sweat dripping down her back. The tension was indeed overwhelming.

By now, the deer had been caught, and footsteps were heading this way. Now they needed to leave that room; hiding in another room would clearly reveal flaws.

Bai Ruozhu gritted her teeth and simply tapped Sa Tian’s acupoint, pulling him into the Space.

She tossed Sa Tian aside, opened the big screen to monitor the outside situation. Soon, the examiner entered with a group, the governor following, sweat beading on his forehead. Not seeing anyone inside the room, he let out a huge sigh of relief.

This inhale brought a stench directly to his nose, making him gag in disgust, almost vomiting.

"You may wait outside," the examiner instructed.

The governor seemed to receive a pardon, promptly thanked him and hurried out the door to wait. The examiner’s attendants followed suit.

Bai Ruozhu inside the Space dared not make a sound, watching the examiner outside. She was too rushed earlier; she wasn’t sure if any mistakes were made.

The examiner wore gloves for the inspection, and he seemed surprised by the wound, letting out a light "Huh!".

The sound was very soft, inaudible to those at the door, but Bai Ruozhu, being inside the room and having good hearing, caught the sound.

The examiner wasn’t in a hurry, checking slowly and meticulously. He didn’t look at the other corpses much, peculiarly fixating on the corpse Bai Ruozhu had just handled, making her feel increasingly uneasy.

That’s when the examiner suddenly pried open the corpse’s mouth.

"It’s over!" Bai Ruozhu exclaimed, clutching her head. She’d been too busy and forgot to deal with the tongue wound, now what?

Momentarily, Bai Ruozhu even considered going out to poison the examiner, but the thought flashed by, and she couldn’t bring herself to kill an innocent person.

But the next moment, what happened shocked her even more.

The examiner cautiously glanced back, saw no one outside paying attention, and discreetly took out a small medicine bottle, dripping some medicine liquid onto the corpse’s tongue.

Bai Ruozhu’s eyes widened. Although the medicine wasn’t hers and was not as fast-acting, after one or two hours, the tongue wound would appear as an old injury.

The examiner was helping, perhaps he was from Xinye’s side? Or Luzhi’s side, wanting to protect Xinye?

Surprised as she was, the matters seemed to resolve peacefully, Bai Ruozhu let out a sigh of relief, sitting down heavily. Later, she definitely needed to reprimand that Xinye; if not to save him, she wouldn’t be this exhausted.

"Alright, someone come in and record the autopsy report," the examiner instructed, speaking in fluent Fusang Language.

He then removed his gloves and began speaking to the recorder; Bai Ruozhu didn’t pay attention to the autopsy report, her sight remaining fixed on his hands.

Earlier, as he removed his gloves, he accidentally lifted some skin, revealing that his skin was disguised — similar to a human skin mask.

The exposed skin was delicate and smooth, making Bai Ruozhu shiver inside, why did she feel a sense of familiarity?

The thought passed quickly, interrupted by Sa Tian awakening. Bai Ruozhu hurriedly tapped his sleep acupoint again; if Sa Tian saw this, it’d be hard to explain.

Outside, the autopsy report was completed, revealing old injuries on the face and tongue, with other fatal wounds sustained before death. One corpse had its martial arts abolished and died from bleeding.

Once everything was documented, the examiner left with his people, though he looked around as he exited, seemingly observing everyone present, searching for someone.

Bai Ruozhu’s heart tightened. That person was searching for her, knowing she tampered with things, wanting to see if she disguised herself among these people.

Yet his behavior suggested they were allies, not enemies.

The governor escorted the examiner out, and Bai Ruozhu, seeing that no one was watching outside, promptly pulled Sa Tian out, quickly took a sample of the medicine liquid used on the corpse’s tongue, bottled it, and stored it in the Space, then moved the sleeping Sa Tian to a nearby room.

She tapped Sa Tian, releasing his sleep acupoint.

"What’s happened to me?" Sa Tian asked in confusion upon opening his eyes.

Bai Ruozhu quickly gestured for silence, speaking low, "The examiner hasn’t gone far yet, we’re best staying here until the governor comes by and then we can leave."

Sa Tian replied with an ’Mm,’ still finding it strange, sensing faintly that Lord Bai had tapped his acupoint.

"Your body is too weak, fainting after being exposed to corpse qi. When we return, I’ll prescribe some medicine so you don’t fall ill," Bai Ruozhu said deliberately.

Sa Tian nodded, thinking maybe he felt wrong, or Lord Bai tapped his acupoint for treatment, fearing serious exposure to corpse qi.

Fortunately, Sa Tian was a straightforward person and didn’t overthink. Bai Ruozhu, seeing he showed no suspicion, let out a big sigh of relief.

After a while, the governor returned, finding two people in the neighboring room, patting his chest, saying, "That was so terrifying just now, did you check thoroughly?"

Sa Tian deliberately showed excitement, "Checked thoroughly, my brother isn’t inside, perhaps he’s still alive!"

The governor laughed, "So dreams are the opposite, now you can relax, right?"

Sa Tian hurriedly bowed, Bai Ruozhu followed suit, both saying in unison, "Thank you, sir."
