Chapter 10 The Real Murderer Appears?
When General Su walked out of the white cloth, he seemed to be ten years old, and his originally blazing eyes were filled with a kind of ridicule and sadness. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ru Huan sewed up the corpse and dressed the newly picked gown for Miss Su, she sighed lightly, looked down at what she found in the cuff of the corpse in the middle of her palm, and looked up at the Hades King beside her.
Under the mask, there is still that innocent and childish look.
Walking out of the white cloth, sure enough, everyone was full of curiosity, and they waited for the results of Ru Huan's autopsy.
The crown prince squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Ru Huan coldly; Xie Lanlan looked frightened, obviously worried about something; Mingjing, Anxin and other people in the general's mansion all looked like they wanted to say and stopped asking but didn't dare to speak; and the princes were also waiting for the show with anticipation on their faces.
Ru Huan faced everyone and said lightly: "The autopsy results show that Miss Su was strangled from behind with a very thin thread-like object, and the time of death was about two to three hours before this time, that is, one to two hours before the start of the concubine selection celebration. ”
The prince snorted coldly, "Isn't this nonsense? ”
Ru Huan continued: "But the first place where the body was found was not here, but the cherry blossoms fell, right?"
King Cheng said, "So what? It was found by this king in the cherry blossom fall." ”
Ru Huan's eyes shot at King Cheng: "Oh, it turned out that His Royal Highness King Cheng found the corpse, I heard that His Royal Highness King Cheng's hand of the zither is like a fairy, I don't know if I have come with the zither today?"
King Cheng frowned: "This king participated in the grand ceremony of choosing a concubine for the King of Hades today, originally to judge the candidates' musical and piano skills, and the guzheng was naturally brought with him." ”
Ru Huan smiled slightly: "Can you please bring the guzheng to borrow from Ru Huan?"
A complicated look flashed in King Cheng's eyes, and immediately, he changed to an expression of indifference: "Come on, take this king's guzheng and give it to Miss Xie Er." ”
The two maidservants immediately carried the guzheng in front of Ru Huan, and King Cheng also slowly got up and paced, standing face to face with Ru Huan.
Although his posture is chic and casual, the occasional deep glance under his eyes is unusually cold.
Ru Huan didn't look up at him, just looked at the zither in his hand, the zither carved dragon and phoenix is very quaint, obviously extremely precious, and what attracts Ru Huan the most is not the totem inlaid with gems, but the missing string in the middle!
The width of this string is obviously very similar to the strangulation mark on Miss Su's neck, and it is obvious that the missing string is very likely to be the murder weapon that killed Miss Su, could it be that King Cheng is the murderer?
Only then did Ru Huan promise General Su that he could not make public the fact that Miss Su was pregnant, and he could not ruin Miss Su's reputation behind her.
However, if King Cheng is the father of Miss Su's flesh and blood, then did he kill his parents and children with his own hands in order to cover up his fornication with Miss Su?
If this is the motive for the crime, it doesn't make sense.
King Cheng didn't marry a wife, and even the side concubine didn't hear about it, if really Miss Su had her flesh and blood, they would be considered right, even if he didn't really like Miss Su, it was not wrong to marry her as a side concubine, why kill people?
Ru Huan suddenly raised his head, staring at King Cheng with blazing eyes.
Seeing her suspicious eyes, King Cheng glanced at her indifferently, and a jasper incense fan appeared in his hand at some point, and he scratched his back vigorously with the fan into the back of his neck, as if he asked casually indifferently: "You don't suspect this king, do you? Whatever you want, anyway, this matter has nothing to do with this king." ”
Ru Huan smiled lightly at King Cheng: "I wonder if you can invite King Cheng and Ru Huan to go to the place where the cherry blossoms fell to see the crime?"
Chengwang Yulin Xiao pursed his mouth, obviously hesitating whether to agree.
The general Mingjing took a step forward, his face was full of grief, and he raised his trembling right hand slightly, as if he wanted to point to King Cheng, as if he didn't dare: "Your Royal Highness ....... King Cheng, is it really you...... It's you ......."
King Cheng glared at him and said coldly: "This king has already said it, and it has nothing to do with this king. ”
General Su did not reprimand Mingjing for his disrespect to King Cheng, he just stared at King Cheng quietly, his eyes as if he was about to devour him completely.
The maidservant suddenly cried again: "My young lady died so miserably......."
King Cheng frowned and said: "This king knows that you are sad at the moment, so I will forgive you for being unreasonable, but ......" Speaking of this, he gently pressed the back of Mingjing's raised hand with a jasper fan, and continued: "The real murderer of Miss Su is indeed not this king, don't make a mistake. ”
Mingjing only felt a strong force on the other party's fan bone, and no matter how much he urged the internal force, he was still pressed down by the other party's arm.
Ru Huan's gaze was attracted by something, she looked at it carefully, but found that the sadness in someone's eyes did not seem to be fake, and she fell into deep thought......
At this moment, King Cheng had an indifferent expression, shook his head and said: "Okay, okay, you don't have to be like this in the General's Mansion, this king and Miss Xie Er will go to the cherry blossoms together, I want to see who the real murderer is, and how can it still be relied on by this king." ”
Ru Huan raised his head when he heard this, although his mouth was said to King Cheng, his eyes fell on Mingjing's face: "Don't be in a hurry to go to the cherry blossoms, in fact, when Ru Huan inspected the corpse, he also found one thing, that is, there was some dander left in Miss Su's nails, and it was very likely that when the murderer strangled Miss Su, Miss Su scratched the dander left by the other party when she struggled." ”
King Cheng immediately rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white arms, and he was about to raise his voice to prove that he had not been scratched anything, but he saw that Ru Huan's burning gaze was not on him.
At this moment, everyone's eyes followed Ru Huan and shot towards Mingjing.
Mingjing looked around in horror, and immediately stammered, "What...... What's wrong? What are you doing....... what are you doing......"
Ru Huan interrupted him: "This general, please roll up your sleeves." ”
When Mingjing heard this, he hid his hands behind his back, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva without making a sound.
General Su was so frightened that he stepped forward quickly, grabbed Mingjing's collar, and shouted angrily, "Stretch out." ”
Mingjing's face turned pale, and he stretched out his hands tremblingly, and before everyone could see it clearly, he knelt in front of General Su with a "plop" and cried bitterly: "General, general, you believe in humble duties, it's really not the young lady I killed." ”
General Su pulled his arm, and sure enough, on the back of Mingjing's right hand, three scratches appeared.
"It's you......" General Su's eyes seemed to erupt with fire.
Mingjing hurriedly shook his head and cried: "No, it's not a humble position, the general ......"
Ru Huan approached at this time to take a closer look, and then shook his head slightly.
The scars on the back of the Ming Jing general's hands did not seem to have been left by strangling Miss Su.
If he had been holding the rope from behind, Miss Su would have grabbed it along the back of his hand, which must have been the most seriously injured at the top of the hand and less severe at the end of the hand.
The injury on Mingjing's hand was just the opposite, the tail end was seriously injured, and it was obvious that when the two faced each other, there was a pulling dispute and being scratched.
But if it weren't for him, then .......
Ru Huan thought of using the method of agitation to test Mingjing, but if the conjecture was true, then he would have broken his promise to General Su, and when Ru Huan hesitated, he heard Mingjing shout.
