"Hmph," Guo Huai snorted disdainfully: "Bao Heizi, do you think that you and Chen Lin made up such an absurd story, and you just found a woman to testify, you can block the mouths of the people?" Let's not talk about the strict forbidden palace, who has so much ability to hide people's eyes and ears, and do what you call the tanuki for the prince, how to change, how to change, where did the tanuki come from? If what you said really happens, then is the palace still safe? Besides, there was a fire in the cold palace, and the Li family who gave birth to the demon had already been burned to death, and the matter had been verified by the Tai Hospital, confirming that the dead was the demon concubine Li, and now you say no, what proof do you have? Moreover, after the death of the Li family at that time, it was still the first emperor who was merciful and ordered the Li family to be buried under the imperial concubine system. ”

After Guo Huai finished speaking, Yu Xiaoyu glanced at Guo Huai and said unhurriedly: "Hui Bao, everyone thinks that after the corpse is charred, it will be impossible to see clearly due to the damage of the face, and the person who will not be able to distinguish the gender of the deceased; However, this is only the opinion of ordinary people, because they do not understand the bone structure of the human body, in fact, they can distinguish the sex of the deceased through the bones of the deceased. ”

"Oh?" Master Bao asked curiously, "What is the method?" ”

"The most common way," Yu Xiaoyu replied confidently, "is that the sex of the deceased can be distinguished by the shape of the guò pelvis: the male pelvis is generally narrowed from top to bottom and is heart-shaped; In women, due to the reason for giving birth, the pelvis is wide from top to bottom and is round. In addition, the sex of the deceased can also be determined by the anterior skull of the deceased: if the anterior skull is tilted backwards, it is a man; The anterior skull is erect from the brow to the top of the head, and it is a woman. In most cases, conclusions can be drawn by direct observation. ”

"Then the doctor of the Tai Hospital should also be able to see it?" Master Bao asked.

Yu Xiaoyu thought for a moment and nodded: "Under normal circumstances, ordinary doctors can judge the sex of the deceased by the shape of the guò pelvis. ”

"Bao Heizi," Guo Huai sneered: "You would believe a little woman's nonsense, what is the pelvis and front skull, it's really ridiculous." ”

Seeing Guo Huai's denial in every possible way, Lord Bao slapped the shocked wood fiercely: "Guo Huai, you still don't admit it?" ”

"Bao Heizi," Guo Huai said without flinching: "What do you want the miscellaneous family to admit?" Do you want the miscellaneous family to admit that the person who died in the cold palace is not the Li family? Hmph, that's not a miscellaneous family test, you can't rely on the miscellaneous family? ”

"What this house is talking about is the tanuki changing the prince?" Master Bao said in a deep voice: "Back then, you and Concubine Liu of Jinhua Palace did such intolerable things for your own selfish desires, causing the mother and son to be separated for more than 20 years; Later, in order to extinguish his mouth, he killed Kou Zhu, a palace person, and Yu Zhong, a eunuch, one after another, can you confess your guilt? ”

Guo Huai raised his head and said loudly: "Bao Heizi, what you said, the miscellaneous family has never even heard of it, let alone done it; What's more, you are so bold that you dare to slander the current Queen Mother, how can the Queen Mother allow you to say a few words to slander at will? ”

"Guo Huai," Chen Lin pointed at Guo Huai angrily: "You wolf-hearted thing, you still refuse to admit what you have done?" In this matter, the old slave has the slightest lie, and the old slave is willing to be thundered by the sky! ”

Although Yu Xiaoyu didn't care too much, he also understood that in the Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago, the oath was actually a very convincing thing. Sure enough, Chen Lin's oath aroused the indignation of the Eighth Prince.

"Bao Zheng," the eighth prince pointed at Guo Huai and said angrily: "Torture!" ”

Guo Huai looked at Master Bao coldly: "It turns out that this world-famous Kaifeng Mansion is actually relying on torture, Guo Huai is really knowledgeable today." Bao Heizi, if you have the ability, you will kill the miscellaneous family, but don't want to splash the sewage on the miscellaneous family. ”

"Guo Huai, you ......" Master Bao glared at Guo Huai angrily, and only after a while did he grit his teeth and burst out two words: "Retire." ”

Seeing Guo Huai proudly escorted down, the emperor helped the Queen Mother out of the back of the lobby.

"Bao Qing," the Queen Mother had red eyes, and her godless eyes were staring at the direction of Lord Bao: "Why didn't you refuse to be tortured just now?" ”

"Returning to the Queen Mother," Lord Bao replied respectfully: "It's not that Bao Zheng refuses to be tortured, but he really can't be punished!" ”

"Why can't you be punished?" The Queen Mother asked in a calm voice: "With what he Guo Huai has done, even if it is a thousand cuts, it will cheapen him, can't he even use a small punishment?" ”

"Queen Mother," looking at Master Bao was really a little embarrassed, Gongsun Ce interjected and said, "You also heard Guo Huai's words just now." As long as Guo Huai refuses to confess, the adults will not be able to move him; Otherwise, in the eyes of others, it will be a trick. ”

"Does Mr. Gongsun mean that he is worried about the reputation of Kaifeng Mansion being damaged?" Chen Lin looked at Gongsun Ce puzzled and asked, "What if Guo Huai has been refusing to confess?" Could it be that the Queen Mother has suffered so many years of grievances in vain? There are also Kou Zhu, Yu Zhong, Qin Feng, etc., did so many people die in vain? and the unknown death of the imperial doctor Yu Ren, is that it? ”

Hearing Yu Ren's name in Chen Lin's mouth, Yu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a pain in his heart. Yu Xiaoyu frowned, raised his hand to touch his heart, and felt a little out of breath.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Zhao saw Yu Xiaoyu frowning, looking uncomfortable, and asked with concern, "But you're not feeling well?" ”

"It's nothing," Yu Xiaoyu said in a low voice, "It's just that I feel a little sad when I hear that Yu Ren's name." ”

"Wait a while," Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu puzzled: "Let Mr. Gongsun give you a pulse." ”

"How can it be so strict," Yu Xiaoyu looked at the few people who were still negotiating, and whispered, "I'm fine now." ”

Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu: "Then I'll send you home in a while and take a good rest." ”

The eighth prince looked at Lord Bao: "Lord Bao, what should I do if Guo Huai refuses to confess all the time?" Is this just the way it drags on? ”

"I can only try my best to find evidence." Master Bao thought for a while and said: "As long as he finds strong evidence, Guo Huai can't even admit his guilt if he wants to." ”

"It's been so many years," Chen Lin asked discouragedly, "I'm afraid that some evidence has been destroyed, how can I find it?" ”

"Isn't the grievance of the mourning family revealed?" The Queen Mother said sadly.

"Bao Qing," the emperor helped the queen mother, pursed the corners of his mouth and said: "You once promised me that you would return justice to the world and the queen mother in the world, do you remember?" ”

"I remember."

"That's good," the emperor clenched his fists, "I order you to close this case within seven days." ”

"Obey the order!" Master Bao replied respectfully: "The minister will definitely find a way to find evidence and make Guo Huai confess." ”

The emperor took a deep look at Lord Bao, and then helped the queen mother to leave; Chen Lin looked at Master Bao and sighed softly, but he didn't say anything, and followed directly.

"Master Bao," the Eighth Prince's voice was full of powerlessness: "Do you know that this matter is related to the emperor and the queen mother, so it must be solved as much as possible, do you understand?" ”

"The minister understands," Master Bao said, "It's just that the eighth prince also heard Guo Huai's words just now. That Guo Huai was above the lobby, talking rhetorically, and refused to admit that he had done such a thing, and the minister really had no choice but to retreat first. ”

The eighth prince thought for a while, and turned his head to Yu Xiaoyu: "What can Mrs. Zhan do?" ”

"Me?" Yu Xiaoyu, who was talking to Zhanzhao in a whisper, suddenly heard his name, and quickly raised his head to look at the Eighth Prince: "The Eighth Prince, just laughing, even you and Master Bao can't do anything, what can I do?" If you can't beat him hard to get angry, then continue to spend time with him and see who has the patience. ”

"Eighth Prince, my lord," Gongsun Ce looked at the Eighth Prince, Master Bao, and said, "The student thinks that Mrs. Zhan's words are extremely right: now we can compare with Guo Huai, and the only thing we can compare with is patience; As long as we can persevere, we will always find Guo Huai's flaws. ”

Master Bao nodded: "In this case, we will continue to interrogate Guo Huai tomorrow." ”

So, Master Bao asked everyone to go out to find evidence to prove Guo Huai's crime; He was also thinking hard about how to make Guo Huai confess.

"Lord Zhan," walking home with Zhan Zhao, Yu Xiaoyu suddenly reached out and pulled Zhan Zhao's sleeve: "You say, tomorrow Lord Bao will continue to interrogate Guo Huai, will there be a result?" ”

"I don't think so," Zhan Zhao shook his head: "Unless we can find strong evidence to prove that Guo Huai really did such a thing; Otherwise, based on today's events, Guo Huai must have decided that as long as he doesn't confess, there is nothing the adults can do with him. ”

Yu Xiaoyu nodded: "I think so too." In one day, it is not easy to find evidence from more than 20 years ago. Alas, it would be nice if there was a lie detector in Kaifeng Mansion......"

Listening to Yu Xiaoyu's mouth, words that he had never heard before came out of his mouth, Zhan Zhao looked at Yu Xiaoyu in confusion: "Lie detector? What is it? ”

"That's it......" Yu Xiaoyu waved his hand: "Don't ask, you won't understand what I said." ”

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "If you don't say it, how do you know that I don't understand?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu looked at Zhan Zhao provocatively, and smiled very proudly: "Okay, I'll give you a good explanation today." ”

Zhan Zhao smiled: "Zhan listens. ”

"Then you can listen well," Yu Xiaoyu smiled with a smile on his face: "The so-called lie detector is actually more accurate, the measurement is not a lie, but the change in physiological parameters caused by the stimulation of the criminal's heart." To put it in more detail, it means that when people lie, the fluctuations of the brain will become abnormal, which will cause psychological fluctuations, and psychological fluctuations will cause changes in the activity of the nervous system, causing some involuntary and uncontrollable physiological phenomena such as increased breathing and swallowing frequency, increased blood pressure, and rapid heartbeat. ”

"What do you mean to say," Zhan Zhao pursed his lips and thought for a while, "If Guo Huai lies, then he will have phenomena such as increased breathing and swallowing frequency, and rapid heartbeat, and these phenomena are not noticed by him at all, or they are uncontrollable, right?" ”

Yu Xiaoyu was surprised by Zhanzhao's comprehension and nodded: "You can also say the same; Of course, this method can be applied to the vast majority of people. However, I think that Guo Huai's psychological element must be very good if he can do that kind of thing that destroys human nature, so it is difficult to say whether he can use this polygraph method. However, if you do, you might as well give it a try. ”

"Yes," Zhan Zhao said approvingly: "Guo Huai's heart knows very well that as long as he admits it, then what awaits him must be a dog's head; But if he denied it to the end, forced Master Bao with a sentence of torture, and coupled with the protection of Empress Liu in Renshou Palace, he might still have a glimmer of life. ”

"However, as soon as this matter comes out," Yu Xiaoyu thought for a while: "The one in Renshou Palace must also be unable to protect himself, how can he be able to control him?" ”
