Chapter 499: It's not suicide, it's homicide

Although Ma Xiuying ordered that no one should be allowed to move Luliu's body, by the time she arrived at Rongyun Palace, the scene had been almost destroyed. Although the craftsmen and the guards of the palace were driven out of the palace, the ground was densely covered with footprints, and it was impossible to tell who belonged to whom. Lu Liu's body rested on the cold ground, and next to it was a cloak that Ma Xiuying usually wore.

After the commander of the guards finished saluting, he got up and said: "The subordinates have already asked the craftsmen in charge of building the Rongyun Palace, and they said that they will go back to the service room after dark, and they don't know about the hanging of the green willow, and they don't pay attention to when the green willow enters the palace. ”

"The beams in the hall are so high, how can the green willows be hung up?" Looking at the beams that are at least two zhang high, Ma Xiuying's eyes are full of doubts, it is still difficult for her, a person who has practiced martial arts, to go up, not to mention that the green willow is a weak woman.

"Green Willow hanged herself with hemp rope, and there was a wooden ladder next to her that she had kicked down, and her subordinates guessed that she had climbed the ladder to go up. The commander of the guards turned sideways, revealing a long wooden ladder that craftsmen used to build palaces, and which could be seen everywhere.

Ma Xiuying sighed, even the ladder was moved, and she couldn't hope to find clues at the scene of the crime, only to see if there were any clues left on Lu Liu's body.

Xun Ying hurriedly grabbed Ma Xiuying, who was walking towards the corpse of Green Willow, and said softly, "Master, let's let the imperial doctor come to check the corpse." She knew that Ma Xiuying was jealous, but others would not think like this, especially in the face of a corpse.

Ma Xiuying paused, she is now the queen, she can't do anything that violates the royal dignity, and touching the dead is a very taboo thing.

The imperial doctor was summoned, and when he heard that he was going to examine the corpse, his face immediately turned unsightly, this was a lowly job with a lot of talent, but seeing the impatience on Ma Xiuying's face, he still took a closer look, "Queen Qiyu, the female official of Green Willow did hang herself, and she has been dead for more than an hour." ”

Ma Xiuying's eyes flashed, and she asked, "How many strangulation marks are there on the neck of the green willow?"

The imperial physician looked at the corpse again, "There is only one strangulation mark, and there is no injury to the back of the neck." ”

Ma Xiuying fell into deep thought, if a person is strangled and then hanged, there will be a cross-shaped strangulation on the neck. A strangulation mark ruled out the possibility of being strangled to death, could it be that Green Willow really committed suicide? Such a coincidence, she just asked people to find Green Willow, and Green Willow committed suicide?

The experience of solving cases in her previous life told her that Green Willow's death would never be so simple, but what would it be if it wasn't suicide?

This frightened the crowd. What's wrong with the queen, not to mention being in the same hall with a dead person, and closing her eyes, is it ...... They quietly approached, one by one goosebumps all over their bodies, and they no longer dared to look at the corpses on the ground.

Xun Ying only felt that the wind was gusting in the hall, his hands and feet were cold, and he called out to Ma Xiuying nervously, grabbing Ma Xiuying's arm and unconsciously using his strength, "Master!

Ma Xiuying's arm hurt, and when she came back from her contemplation, she suddenly remembered that an old policeman in her previous life had said that a hanged person would feel very painful at the moment of suffocation, and his hands would subconsciously untie the rope. She exclaimed, "Look at the neck and hands of the green willow again, are there scratches, what is the shape of the arms, have they ever been bent, are there strangulation marks on the fingers?"

The imperial doctor was so frightened that he almost jumped up, if it weren't for Ma Xiuying's clear eyes, he would have suspected Ma Xiuying's hysteria, and reluctantly checked the body of Lu Liu again, and said: "There are no other external injuries on the neck except for strangulation marks, the arms are naturally drooping, they have never been bent, and their hands are clean and free of strangulation marks." ”

"Green Willow didn't commit suicide, he killed him! Imperial Doctor, take a closer look at the rest of Green Willow's body, there are scars. The guards went to check for any marks on the beams and ladders. Ma Xiuying let out a long sigh, if she only had eight guesses before, now she is very sure. She seemed to be explaining Xunying's confusion and telling the imperial doctor and the guards, "According to Green Willow's timid character, even if she commits suicide, she will not choose such a high beam, and besides, she doesn't need to use her hands to carry the ladder with a rope sleeve?

Everyone suddenly realized, and each carefully examined, and soon the imperial doctor found a mark of being beaten on the back of the green willow's head, and the guards also found several footprints on the ladder and the beam that were slightly larger than the green willow shoe prints and suspected to be men's footprints.

"Stretch down these footprints and compare them with the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace. Ma Xiuying paused and accentuated her tone, "Including concubines and princes!"

Since Luliu was killed by him, it means that Ma Xiuying suspected that there was a spy in the palace and was known, and the other party jumped over the wall to kill people in a hurry, except for Guo Hui, who could do this kind of thing.

"The master will go back to Kunning Palace to rest first, and as soon as there is a result, the slave will immediately come to tell you. Fushun cautiously persuaded Ma Xiuying, he was now anxious to make meritorious contributions, and he was eager to find out the perpetrator immediately.

"Let's go back," Ma Xiuying didn't want to stay in Rongyun Palace for too long, she looked at Lu Liu, and hesitated: "Give her a thin coffin." After all, Green Willow has served her for many years, and she still has some master-servant affection for Green Willow, so she still can't bear to throw Green Willow's body to the corpse post to feed the dogs.

This time, not only the guards searched the palace, but even the guards joined the ranks of the review, maybe the other party didn't expect Ma Xiuying to find out that Green Willow was killed by him so quickly, so he didn't take precautions, so soon there was a breakthrough in the case.

"Recruited, recruited, the perpetrator was an attendant beside Yang Jieyu, he said that he wanted to eat with Green Willow, so he tricked Green Willow to the secluded Rongyun Palace. Green Willow didn't obey, he was afraid that Green Willow would expose the crime, so he simply knocked Green Willow unconscious and disguised himself as hanging. The guards prayed one by one. "Yang Jieyu knelt outside the hall and begged to see her, saying that she didn't know the behavior of the waiter at all, and that the waiter was the ...... that Concubine Hui had rewarded her before."

"No, let her go and tell the emperor if she has a grievance. Ma Xiuying had no joy in solving the case, she only felt a breath of stuffy air blocked in her chest, and she couldn't go up or down. She knew that this dumb man was determined to lose herself, and the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she always thought that Guo Hui was a stupid person, and she didn't expect that Guo Hui could make a decision to abandon the car and protect the handsome immediately. thought that he would be able to find out Guo Hui along the vine, but he underestimated the viciousness of this woman, killed someone and pushed Yang Jieyu out to take the blame.

Speaking of which, everyone will find it incredible, how dare the little chamberlain beside Yang Jieyu beat the idea of the big palace maid next to the queen, but this is an impeccable excuse. Only such an excuse can make people believe why the little chamberlain killed Green Willow, thus covering up the real cause of Green Willow's death.
