Chapter 61: The True Cause of Death

Liu's mansion is not like the mansion of the Shi family, which is built on a treasure like Gongxi Lane, but is built closer to the West Mountain, not close, Shi Qingqing took a carriage to go, and Yunzhi and Xin'er rode on the side.

Most of the things about Ruoyan were suppressed and did not cause much public opinion, and most of the talk on the street at this time was about Shi Qingqing and Sima Yan parading on the street a few days ago, and the royal family did not hide too much about the fact that the clerk was a spy in Dongwu, and everyone was discussing it hotly at this moment.

Shi Qingqing sat quietly in the carriage, and some gossip inevitably came into his ears.

"Emperor Ji, there have been many versions of this matter among the people, although most of them say that Emperor Ji's appearance is not as good as Sima Xiaoshizi, but the fact that Emperor Ji outwitted the spies of Eastern Wu above the court is still praised by everyone."

Shi Qingqing nodded slightly, indicating that he didn't care about this.

Subsequently, the carriage soon arrived at Liu's mansion, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper was waiting outside the mansion gate, thinking that he had just gotten the news.

Seeing Shi Qingqing get out of the car, he hurriedly greeted him, "The old slave sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed." ”

Shi Qingqing recognized him, he used to go to pick up Ruoyan every day, "Fu Bo, don't be polite." She remembered that Ruoyan often called him that.

"Thank you Emperor Ji, the lord instructed the old slave to greet the emperor here, the lord and the lady are in the mourning hall, it is not appropriate to greet each other, and I hope that the emperor will forgive the sins."

Shi Qingqing looked up, his eyes were full of plainness, shockingly white, ruthlessly decorating this happy mansion of the former family.

Ruoyan's mourning hall is located in the middle hall, and it stands to reason that it is the most taboo for white-haired people to send black-haired people, but look at Lord Liu's bloodshot eyes and messy hair. I understood why.

"Emperor, it's really a blessing for the little girl to have you and other friends!" Lord Liu's voice was already hoarse, as if he was too sad.

Shi Qingqing looked at Mrs. Liu in private, thinking that she was overwhelmed, but there were a few of Lord Liu's companions crying and kneeling aside.

"Lord Liu, don't do this, this is what I should do." Shi Qingqing helped Master Liu up, took the incense in Fu Bo's hand and turned around and knelt down.

Lord Liu exclaimed, "Emperor Ji must not be like this, you should not be wow...... but was stopped by Yun Zhi and Xin'er, "Emperor Ji has already regarded Miss Ruoyan as a sister. There's nothing to be left short of. Lord Liu was at ease. ”

Hearing the two of them say this, it would be unkind for Lord Liu to stop him again, so he had to make a look and make everyone in the hall kneel down.

Shi Qingqing knelt for a long time, and only got up after a burning moment when the incense ash dripped down his palm. After the prostration.

Shi Qingqing had a reluctant request. "Lord Liu. I'd like to see Wakayan. "At this time, the coffin has not been sealed, but if you want to see it, you should still respect Lord Liu's wishes.

Lord Liu has no problem with Shi Qingqing, and listening to her request like this should only be regarded as a deep love. At that moment, he led Shi Qingqing to the back, and Yun Zhi was outside with Xin'er, after all, he was an outsider.

Because the whole face of Shui Ruoyan is very swollen, the face has even begun to peel, the eyes are bloodshot and you can see a piece of blood through the eyelids, and the hair is very clean after being combed by the sixth lady, without a trace of messiness, but I don't know how many tears the sixth lady shed when she combed Ruoyan's hair.

The clothes are also changed cleanly, and the neckline is brand new......

Neckline? Shi Qingqing stretched out his hand and pulled the neckline down a little, and sure enough, it was bruised, "Someone." ”

"Emperor, what's the matter?" It was the clouds that came in.

Master Liu naturally saw Shi Qingqing's movements, and his intuition was strange at the moment, so he didn't stop it.

"Do you know about autopsies?"

"I understand a little."

Shi Qingqing knows that people in this era are generally very modest, and if they say they understand a little, they understand, "Come and see what this scar is about?" ”

Yun Zhi bowed down and said yes, and then said to Lord Liu: "Offended, my subordinates promise not to alarm Miss Ruoyan." ”

Lord Liu nodded hurriedly, Lord Liu was undoubtedly the most concerned about this case, as long as everything would help the case, he would not object, in order to let Yun Zhi stretch out his hands and feet and avoid obstacles, he also stepped aside.

Yun Zhi bowed again, and then gently lifted a piece of the collar corner of Ruoyan and examined it carefully.

Hold this posture for a long time, so long that Lord Liu thought it was inconvenient to inspect, and stepped forward and said, "If this girl is not convenient enough to see, does she need help?" ”

Shi Qingqing glanced at Lord Liu, and couldn't imagine that he was willing to cooperate with the investigation of the case and let Yun Zhi move the body, this is a big taboo, as the old saying goes, since the end of his life, the most important thing is not to move in a hurry, although he is stained with stool, it is not washed. I am afraid that a violation will make it impossible for the deceased to pass away.

It seems that if Yan acts uninhibited on weekdays, it is clear where the stereotypes come from.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, but the real cause of Ruoyan's death has been found out below." Cloud arched.

didn't say why directly, presumably because he was worried that the partition wall had ears, Shi Qingqing looked at Lord Liu, he immediately understood, and led the two to the side hall.

The surroundings are relatively spacious, and the layout is very elegant, at a glance, if someone approaches, you can know immediately, plus Xin'er is guarding outside, it is very safe, Shi Qingqing nodded, and said to Yun Zhi: "I can say it." ”

"Yes, Miss Ruoyan died of arrow poison wood, also known as Yan Sang, this poison is very powerful, just contaminated can kill people in an instant, and his subordinates found that Ruoyan's throat was full of bruises, thinking that it was stuffed with this leaf."

Lord Liu couldn't help but be full of hatred when he heard this, "The murderer is simply inhumane, and he is so vicious. ”

"Yes, Lord Liu is right, the murderer is indeed vicious, although this poison can be fatal immediately, but it is slow to manifest, the external injuries on Ruoyan's body are very serious, I think it is so pretentious that when the case is judged, the real cause of Miss Ruoyan's death was ignored."

Yes, who would have thought that in order to let Ruoyan die, that person would commit two murders, poison and then push down the cliff, so ruthless.

"This poison in Miss Ruoyan must have been poured directly without refining, and as far as her subordinates know, the reason why this poison is a rock mulberry is because this tree grows on the edge of a cliff."

"You mean, it's very likely that someone planted the tree in the ferry, so the killer was able to get the poison so accurately and pour it into Ruoyan's mouth after discovering it?"

A flash of praise flashed in Yunzhi's eyes, "Yes, Emperor Ji is right. ”

"I didn't expect that there was such a frenzied person in the Dumen Academy, so the lower official wrote a book to the emperor, asking him to allow the lower official to take someone to search." Lord Liu was shocked for a while, forgetting that the emperor had handed over the matter to the Criminal Department.

Shi Qingqing couldn't help but explain, "Lord Liu, don't be impatient, this matter has been taken care of by the Criminal Department, and at present, Lord Qiu has asked people to search Dumen Academy, but we deviated from the focus of the search before, I will go to explain to them and let them find the location of this Yansang first, and see if it will help the case." ”

When Master Liu heard Shi Qingqing say this, he was indeed a little speechless, and he couldn't help but be ashamed at the moment, "Yes, the lower officials were confused for a while, and the emperor is not to blame." ”

"I naturally understand Lord Liu's hard work, don't worry, I will personally go to Dumen Academy to investigate this matter thoroughly." Shi Qingqing arched his hand.

Although Lord Liu is happy that someone can run around for Ruoyan just to give Ruoyan justice, Shi Qingqing is the daughter of the emperor's identity, how can he let him run around without any scruples, in this hot summer.

"Emperor Ji, why don't you let Xia Guan go with Emperor Ji?"

"No need, now that I am the justice of the Criminal Department, since my father handed over this matter to the Criminal Department for thorough investigation, I should have done it, let alone Ruoyan or my sister!" After saying that, he bowed and turned to leave.

Yun Zhi and Xin'er followed.

Lord Liu looked at Shi Qingqing's strong back almost resolutely, knowing that she didn't want to overwork her old body while being sad, and her heart inevitably warmed a little. (To be continued......)
