Chapter 050: Time of Death
"Cousin!"
When Mrs. Xu saw Princess Qi, she immediately knelt down beside her lap and cried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Qiao looked at Mrs. Xu, who was still wearing the same one she wore yesterday.
His face was pale, his dark circles were serious, he was listless, and his voice was a little hoarse, and he looked like he had not rested since the time of the incident.
"That's it! Shut up for me, cry and cry, what a system! ”
Princess Qi said sharply.
"Woo~cousin~Woo~You're going to give me~Woo~Be in charge~"
Mrs. Xu stopped crying and sobbed.
"Am I not here? People are so old, and they are still the same as when they were children, which is really funny! Princess Qi shook her head and sighed, then took Mrs. Xu's hand, took her up and said, "Sit down, don't cry, cry again, I'll go back, don't worry about your business." ”
"Yes, cousin."
Mrs. Xu snorted aggrievedly a few times until she slowly calmed down.
"Where's Xu Tingli?"
Seeing that she had calmed down, Princess Qi asked.
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the maid she brought.
The maid stepped forward, knelt down and said: "The slave maid has seen the princess, after the young master's accident yesterday, the lady has been in poor spirits, and insists on handling the aftermath for the young master, and the master, since the young master returned to the house yesterday, the master went out." ”
"Out of the house? Didn't return overnight? ”
Princess Qi looked at the maid kneeling on the ground, and her voice could not hear joy or anger.
"Back to the mother, the concierge has already come this morning, but the lady cried and fainted at that time, and the slave forgot to tell the lady for a while."
The maid was so frightened that her body was trembling.
"It must be that slut, when is this coming, the master still wants to go to that slut, cousin, I'm so miserable......"
"Shut up!"
Princess Qi frowned and interrupted Mrs. Xu.
How long will this cry be! Now is not the time for you to talk about sluts.
"You, take them to your house, these two are distinguished guests, don't slack off. They're here to help you look into this, and if you need to, try to satisfy them, you know? ”
Princess Qi pointed to Gu Xuan and the others and said to Mrs. Xu.
"Okay, thank you, cousin! Thank you cousin! ”
Mrs. Xu wanted to get up and thank her, but her body couldn't bear it, and as soon as she stood up, she fainted suddenly.
"Madame!"
The maid exclaimed in surprise and got up to help Mrs. Xu.
In the end, Lord Huang ordered someone to go in and ask Mrs. County Ling to clean up the house, and asked someone to invite a doctor, and Princess Qi also went in with him.
And Shen Qiao and the three of them were brought to Xu's mansion by Mama Xu, the grandmother next to Princess Qi.
The chief housekeeper of the Xu Mansion had seen Mama Xu and knew Mama Xu's identity, so the three of them had an unimpeded journey.
Uncle Wu took his usual autopsy tools, gave Shen Qiao and Gu Xuan something similar to masks, and took the two into the room where Xu Jinhua's body was parked.
At this moment, all the people in the house were called out, and there were only three people, Shen Qiao, Gu Xuan and Uncle Wu.
From the moment he entered the house, Uncle Wu did not speak.
Last night, the subordinates of the Xu Mansion had already dressed Xu Jinhua in a new dress, and Uncle Wu took them off carefully.
Gu Xuan blocked in front of Shen Qiao and didn't let her look at it.
Shen Qiao was speechless and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Xuan away.
Isn't it just naked, body?
In her previous life, whether it was a man or a woman, she had seen a corpse that was more terrifying than this.
Gu Xuan sighed helplessly, and said aggrievedly: "Qiaoqiao......"
You haven't seen my body yet, so why did you see someone else's first.
Shen Qiao glared at him.
What are you trying to do?
It's like a little daughter-in-law, so good at pretending!
Let's make a show, make a show!
"Don't make a sound!"
Shen Qiao made a "shhhhhhh
On the other side, Uncle Wu had already taken off Xu Jinhua's clothes, and his body was naked.
He was so engrossed that he didn't pay any attention to the interaction between the two young people here.
Shen Qiao walked a few steps closer to Uncle Wu, and his eyes also looked at Xu Jinhua's body.
After a day, corpse spots had begun to appear on Xu Jinhua's corpse, and as Uncle Wu said, there were small strangulation marks on his wrists and neck.
Not only on the wrists and ankles, but also on the waist, there are the same marks.
Uncle Wu took the tool, broke Xu Jinhua's mouth open, and then poked into it and took out some aquatic plants, and there was nothing else.
Xu Jinhua's lips were already black.
Uncle Wu spread out Xu Jinhua's hair, inch by inch, not a single place, and if you look closely, there is nothing else to be found in the hair forest.
Then there were the fingernails and toenails, which were neatly trimmed and clean, without even mud and sand.
"Uncle Wu."
Seeing that Uncle Wu finished checking, Shen Qiao shouted.
"Miss Shen, apart from these few traces, there is no other discovery of this corpse. Oh, by the way, the deceased's lips were black, I don't know if it was caused by a stubborn illness in front of him, or because he was poisoned. ”
Uncle Wu looked at Shen Qiao and said.
"Uncle Wu, what do you think of these traces?"
Shen Qiao asked.
Uncle Wu shook his head and said, "Miss Shen, Lao Er only does what he should do, and he won't think out of thin air, and the investigation of the case depends on Miss Shen and Gu Gongzi." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Uncle Wu, you say, you look like you have ideas."
Gu Xuan walked in front of Shen Qiao without a trace, blocked the body of Chi Guoguo behind him, and said with a smile.
Uncle Wu looked at Gu Xuan, raised his eyebrows, and then said, "If you have to say it, that little old man thinks that the traces on the deceased's body are caused by being tied up with a very thin rope, and this kind of rope is a little different from the hemp rope we usually see." ”
Shen Qiao nodded, and seeing that Uncle Wu didn't plan to say it, he spoke: "I think the same way." Uncle Wu, can you determine when the deceased died? ”
Uncle Wu frowned and said: "When I saw the corpse yesterday, I didn't find any corpse spots on his body, judging from the signs of corpse spots on his body today, the time of death of the deceased should be from the hour to the hour of yesterday." Just ......"
"Just what?"
Gu Xuan asked.
"It's just that if it's midnight, even if the corpse falls into the water, it won't emerge so quickly after noon."
Uncle Wu said.
"That's true."
Shen Qiao nodded and said.
Generally, the corpse will not immediately surface when it falls into the water, but sinks, and it has to wait until it is swollen before it floats, and it can't make him float in just one morning.
"And what if it doesn't sink to the bottom?"
Gu Xuan said suddenly.
"How is that possible? It's not underwater, so where's it? That's out of thin air......"
Uncle Wu said, feeling that something was wrong.
"I heard that the corpse floated after the dragon boat passed."
Gu Xuan said again.
"That's right! It is also possible that the body was thrown down in the middle of the water on the dragon boat. Uncle Wu's eyes lit up, then he was confused, shook his head, and said, "No, there are so many people on the dragon boat, how can they leave a corpse without a trace and not be found?" ”
