Chapter 319: Silenced
After Su Chen looked at the corpse of the eunuch Xiao Guizi, he showed a suspicious look, because through his medical knowledge and forensic knowledge, he could be sure that this little eunuch did not commit suicide, but died of homicide, to be exact, he was strangled to death!
Peng Jingqing stepped forward and asked, "Su Chen, this eunuch committed suicide in fear of sin, we can't find out." ”
Su Chen pondered for a moment and said, "This matter is very complicated, and this person did not die by suicide. ”
"What, not by suicide?" Peng Jingqing was taken aback.
Su Chen didn't say anything more, but turned to Princess Yongning and Wei Chixin, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, Commander Wei Chi, this little eunuch did not die of hanging, but was strangled to death!" ”
"Strangled?"
Everyone present was amazed and shocked by Su Chen's conclusion.
The poisoning of the eunuch has seriously challenged the imperial power and slapped the face of the royal family.
Now that the eunuch was poisoned, he was killed by another person, and he didn't know who the murderer was, which even more damaged the royal family's face.
Such a dangerous harem environment, just thinking about it, makes people headaches, scared, frightened!
Princess Yongning's delicate face changed slightly, her eyes looked at Su Chen, not like a joke, her eyebrows frowned, and she hesitated a little: "Su Chen, this matter is not trivial, are you sure that he died from his killing?" ”
Wei Chixin questioned a little: "This scene is already very clear, this little eunuch has no other injuries on his body, only the strangulation marks on his neck, the person is hanging on the rope of the beam of the house, everyone can see it, how can you see that he is not hanging himself, and conclude that he was killed?" ”
"That's it, you can't make assumptions at will, you have to pay attention to evidence!"
"This suicide is already obvious, and there will be no mistake."
The surrounding imperial doctors and eunuchs discussed a lot, and felt that it was very intuitive for the hanging beam to commit suicide, how could they tell that he was killed by someone, was it a random guess?
Zhou Jiamin and Princess Yongjia seemed to have a conflict when they heard this, and they also gathered around, and after learning about the dispute, they also looked at Su Chen curiously.
"Su Chen, do you have any evidence?" Princess Yongning asked, the palace eunuch was killed, and it was also involved in poisoning the prince.
Su Chen nodded slightly, his face was calm, and he seemed to be confident in everything, giving people a sense of peace of mind.
People who are familiar with him, such as Zhou Jiamin and Peng Jingqing, as soon as they look at his expression, they know that what Su Chen said is true, and they all show curiosity.
"Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, there is a difference between hanging before death and hanging the body after being strangled, on the corpse. For example, when the body is strangled, the person is dead, the blood flow is stopped, the traces of the hanging part are shallow, and there is less bruising. The hanged ones before their deaths had heavier and heavier bluish purple due to a large number of blood obstruction strangulation marks. ”
"Secondly, the traces of struggle are different, those who hang themselves, their eyes are closed, their lips are open, their hands are held, and their teeth are exposed; If it is hung on the throat, the tongue is against the teeth; Under the larynx, the tongue is over, and there is saliva on the chest. If you are beaten and strangled, and pretend to hang yourself, your mouth and eyes will be open, your hands will be scattered, and your physical symptoms will be different. ”
"The third point can also be seen by looking at the traces on the hanging beams, if the hanged person will definitely struggle after being suspended, the traces of the beams will be worn, and if they are hung after death, there will be only one trace."
Based on the doctor's experience in his mind, Su Chen said three main aspects, the easiest way to identify.
After everyone heard this, they all showed surprise, and then they were bold like Wei Chi Xin, the commander of the guards of the forbidden army, Fu Dongsheng, and Guo Sheng, etc., and after coming forward to observe, sure enough, the characteristics of several corpses were the same as those described by Su Chen.
Peng Jingqing jumped onto the beam, and observed the traces on the beam, and sure enough, there was only a shallow strangulation mark, without any traces of friction.
Wei Chi believed that he also jumped up, and after finding that the situation was as Su Chen said, his face was slightly gloomy, and the little eunuch who poisoned his mouth was killed, and the situation seemed to be even worse.
Several other imperial doctors followed Su Chen's method and combined their medical experience, and quickly verified the correctness of these three points, and admired Su Chen's medical skills even more.
Princess Yongning saw the expressions of these people, and she already understood in her heart that I was afraid that what Su Chen said was true, the little eunuch was strangled to death, not hanged himself, so "suicide in fear of crime" became "killing people and killing people", which was completely different in nature.
Who is the killer? It is likely to be hidden in the palace, thinking of this, Princess Yongning herself also felt a trace of coldness and anger.
Princess Yongning looked at Su Chen with bright eyes and asked, "Master Su, how should I investigate next?" ”
Su Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was not Sherlock Holmes, nor Di Renjie or Song Ci, and he didn't know much about solving the case, not to mention that there was no fingerprint verification system and no surveillance video, so it was too difficult to investigate the case in ancient times.
It is difficult to determine whether this little noble son is the poisoner or not.
Maybe Xiao Guizi was the poisoner, and the people behind the scenes were worried that he would leak secrets, so they killed him.
It is also possible that Xiao Guizi was not the poisoner at all, but coincidentally, when he was holding the decoction at noon, his stomach was uncomfortable and left for a while, which led to suspicion on him, and the mastermind behind the scenes also saw this, so he sent someone to kill him, disguised as a suicide, and made the little eunuch a scapegoat.
In short, things are even more confusing!
"There is no other way for the time being, we can only find out here for the time being, let's go back to the official family and the Queen Mother, it is important to save His Royal Highness the Prince first." Su Chen replied calmly.
"It's good!" Princess Yongning nodded, although she was a princess and had a noble status, but at this time, she had been in contact with Su Chen for a long time, and she would naturally ask him for advice, feeling that she was in front of him, whether it was knowledge, learning, insight, wisdom, etc., it seemed that she was deficient, and she had always been praised by her mother and elders for her talent, but she also felt that she could not compare with Su Chen.
"It's all dead, it's really bad luck, it's better to get out of here early." After all, Princess Yongjia is a little girl, about the same age as Ling'er, she has been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she has never seen a dead person strangled to death, so she resisted a little to stay.
Wei Chixin nodded, and asked the guards to carry away the body of the eunuch Xiao Guizi first, and put it in the temporary morgue in the palace to wait for processing, while he was part of the guards to escort the two princesses, the queen's sister, Su Chen and others back to the second prince's bedroom.
Li Yu saw that everyone would come, and asked them if they had any clues in the past to investigate the case.
Su Chen arched his hand and said: "Because it involves the grass people's own case, so in order to avoid suspicion, let's ask Princess Yongning to answer." ”
Princess Yongning glanced at Su Chen, and admired in her heart that this young man was steady and considerate, so she took the initiative to explain to Empress Dowager Zhong and Li Yu, they accompanied Su Chen, checked the dosage of the prescription in the Shang Pharmacy, and investigated the death of the eunuch Xiao Guizi in the Inner Servant Province.
Because she has been reading drama scripts and legends recently, she talks about it in a clear and coherent manner, even if Empress Dowager Zhong and Li Yu have not seen it with their own eyes, but after listening to it, they can understand it all.
"There is such a bastard!" Empress Dowager Zhong was a little angry, there were eunuchs in the palace who poisoned the prince, and they were killed, and the palace was regarded as a place.
Li Yu's face was also gloomy, and he planned to investigate the matter thoroughly, and ordered: "Immediately send the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department Shangshu, and the Imperial Doctor into the palace, and I will let the three divisions check it carefully!" ”
