"Do you have any other evidence?"

The prefect looked at Xue Chen tentatively, with doubt and hesitation in his eyes.

Hearing this, Xue Chen turned his head to look at the prefect, and then raised his eyes to look at Zhao Gongzi who was in charge diagonally, although the situation in the prison was similar, but the two of them were in a single room, and there were more straw mats and hay on the ground than others.

Retracting his gaze, Xue Chen looked at the prefect and gave the prefect a meaningful look.

"Nothing else, let's talk about Gao Tianbao's corpse first."

Saying that, Xue Chen stepped forward and squatted down, completely ignoring the horror of Gao Tianbao's corpse, took a handkerchief from Zheng Yi and put it on Gao Tianbao's face.

"I found something very interesting."

The strong and powerful hands pinched Gao Tianbao's cheeks, and Xue Chen unfolded Gao Tianbao's mouth to everyone present.

"There is a little liquid left on his mouth, and many people may think that it is saliva when they see it, but it is not."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sound of confusion at the scene, and the prefect also frowned and looked at Xue Chen.

"My lord, why do you say that? It is nothing more than a clear liquid doped with blood. ”

"It's simple, because the blood it's doped with white is pale and has long since coagulated."

Saying that, Xue Chen's blood oozing from Gao Tianbao's mouth gently wiped away the other blood, and the pink blood really condensed in Gao Tianbao's mouth, and some even stained Xue Chen's handkerchief, like a candle that had been melted and coagulated again.

Gao Tianbao's body was still warm, and his skin was still elastic.

If the candle had been handed in, it would have flowed down the esophagus and stayed at the interface between the esophagus and the stomach pouch, which would require a forensic autopsy to see.

But these are obviously blood oozing out and coagulated in the mouth, and there is no possibility of flowing into it at all.

And what the candle and the blood look like, everyone can still tell clearly.

Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone believed Xue Chen's words.

Xue Chen looked up at the prefect, "What do you think now?" ”

The prefect was silent for a long time when he heard this, then nodded and said, "You are right. So, someone poisoned him? Will he die? ”

"Nope." Xue Chen shook his head, "It is true that he committed suicide by biting his tongue and lost too much blood, but this poison is also very important, this poison can tell us that someone wants to kill him." ”

After speaking, Xue Chen returned the handkerchief to Zheng Yi, and Zheng Yi awkwardly carried the handkerchief and looked at Xue Chen in embarrassment.

And Xue Chen continued to check the scene, even other parts of Gao Tianbao's body.

After checking for a long time, Xue Chen squatted down and glanced at the surrounding scene, "There are obvious traces of fighting at the scene, it is obvious that Gao Tianbao has fought with people." ”

Everyone had been shocked by Xue Chen's delicate observation ability comparable to that of a forensic doctor, so they were extremely serious when they listened to Xue Chen talk about this.

Reaching out to lift Gao Tianbao's chin, Xue Chen lifted the layers of Gao Tianbao's neck meat, Gao Tianbao was too obese, and the skin on his neck was unevenly colored.

The place where it was covered was noticeably whiter than the rest of the place, and there was a not very obvious red mark on it.

"Someone used to coerce him and wanted to poison him, that's why there are these traces." After a pause, Xue Chen said, "Gao Tianbao was forced and didn't want to obey the other party, so he died like this, so there was a struggle in the process of love being poisoned, and this is where the traces of the fighting around him come from." ”

Xue Chen said and looked at Zheng Yi beside him, and raised his chin at Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi, "? ”

Xue Chen, "Go and find someone to restore it according to the traces of the fight." ”

Zheng Yi nodded reluctantly, "Oh." ”

Then he turned around and glanced at the person behind him, pulled an unlucky one casually, and walked to the scene of the fight.

The two of them stood still, and the unlucky swishing turned their heads to look at Zheng Yi, who was locked in his throat, "Deputy Chief of Guard, let's ...... Let's fight more? ”

Zheng Yi was annoyed by his swishing appearance, and frowned, "Where is so much nonsense?" Looking at the prints on the ground? Follow along. ”

The little guard nodded, followed Zheng Yi's steps, looked at the footprints on the ground, and restored a vivid picture of being poisoned, but at that time he would rather die than obey.

Everyone was shocked after reading it, and it was clear to look at the footsteps of the two of them, basically there was no problem with the restoration.

But the prefect had a question that he didn't understand, "Even so, Gao Tianbao shouldn't bite his tongue and commit suicide!" It's not right, or it's not rational at all. ”

Xue Chen stood up and looked at the prefect, "That's why Gao Tianbao has a red mark on his neck." ”

Everyone's expressions looked at Xue Chen in confusion, their thoughts were basically the same as those of the prefect.

"Gao Tianbao must know why the other party came here in his struggle, so he had a conversation with the other party, and at this time, only his tongue can resist the medicine bottle, so his tongue has become the biggest victim!"

Saying that, Xue Chen turned around and looked at the coroner who hadn't had time to leave yet, "You often look at these corpses, I think you should know better than me, why the blood turns pink, why all this happens?" And why are you so careless? ”

Hearing this, the coroner lowered his head, not daring to look at Xue Chen, his brown hand trembling invisibly in the dark.

This phenomenon is not obvious, he reached out to wipe it off just now, but he didn't wipe it off, it is estimated that it was seen by Xue Chen at that time.

Sure enough, Xue Chen spoke, "You've thought about wiping the blood stains off this corpse, this shouldn't be what you should do as a coroner, all you have to do is explain the cause of death of this corpse." ”

Xue Chen walked into the coroner as he spoke, looking at him fixedly.

"Why? Tell me. ”

The coroner has seen countless lives and deaths, and he should have had an indifferent state of mind.

But the person in front of him unexpectedly understood his business, so he panicked for a while.

"I ...... I ......"

Before Xue Chen could speak, the prefect had already raised his hand to let the coroner be escorted.

After being escorted, the prefect looked at Xue Chen kindly and said, "The lower official is worried that he will hurt himself with his hands, and he refuses to tell the truth, so you continue to interrogate." ”

Xue Chen glanced at him, "Lord Prefect, are you still ...... Quite attentive. ”

The prefect smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, "My lord has a good reputation, I can help you, and the lower official is already satisfied." ”

After speaking, the prefect looked at Xue Chen, but found that Xue Chen didn't plan to answer his words at all, but went straight to the coroner.

"Say it." Xue Chen's voice was smooth and undulating, but it was inexplicably a little bit of a good taste, "If you don't say it, what can you gain more than you say?" Life or money? Or is it money that didn't cost you? ”

People die for money, birds die for food, these truths are the most basic principles of human life in the world.

As long as we grasp these truths, we basically grasp human nature.

The coroner in front of him was obviously in such human nature, and he was pinched to death by Xue Chen with a word.

The coroner raised his head and looked at Xue Chen, "My lord, my lord...... Xia Guan was also forced, Xia Guan didn't have a penny, it was those people, they forced me to do this. ”

"I know."

Xue Chen didn't use the word "this official", he just looked into the coroner's eyes and said in a voice that completely understood.

"Who is it? You tell me I'm going to catch that person responsible. ”

Xue Chen's words seemed to the coroner to be sunshine.

He looked at Xue Chen, trembling and handed over his trust to Xue Chen, "Yes...... It was Zhao Gongzi, Zhao Gongzi had expected all this a long time ago, he asked me to do this, he said that as long as Gao Tianbao died, there was no proof of death, I could survive, and my family could survive. ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen reached out and patted the coroner's shoulder twice, as if to comfort him.

The coroner's eyes were momentarily happy and melting, he didn't expect Xue Chen to be able to comfort him so closely.

Then I saw Xue Chen turn around and say to Zheng, "Take it down, take a look at his family by the way, what should be protected is still to be protected, he is at fault, his family is not." ”

Xue Chen's decision was cruel and warm, and the coroner didn't know what to say to Xue Chen for a moment.

He looked at Xue Chen's back, and at the moment he was dragged out, he struggled to say to Xue Chen, "My lord, I'm ...... Can't I be innocent? ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen turned his head to look at the coroner and shook his head at him.

"Innocence is not for people who have done something wrong."

After saying that, Xue Chen watched the coroner be taken away, and only Xue Chen, the prefect and a group of guards were left at the scene.

The prefect turned his head to look at Xue Chen, "My lord, since we all know who it is, let's convict and ask for a decree, it will still take time for a newcomer from the court to replace Gao Tianbao." ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen glanced at Zhao Gongzi, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

"Let's ask for a decree first."

"And ...... convicted?"

"The prefect looks at it, after all, he is from Jingzhou, and he is on your territory from the prefect, and the death of Gao County is a deliberate murder, but I will not participate in Zhao Gongzi's crime."

After speaking, Xue Chen walked out of the prison with people.

Zhao Gongzi on the opposite side was unusually calm, and seemed to have met his future a long time ago.

Xue Chen glanced at him when he passed by, the two looked at each other, Xue Chen felt that Zhao Gongzi's eyes might be a little complicated, but he still turned around and left.

After returning to the inn, Xue Chen learned that the prefect was going to sentence Zhao Gongzi to death, and the day of execution was set for three days later.

Zheng Yi asked Xue Chen what he thought about this.

At that time, Xue Chen was eating the pork belly chicken made by Su Qiange, feasting on it, and his mouth and eyes were full of meat.

Wen Yan raised his head and looked at Zheng Yi, "What can I think?" The case is over, she is not guilty, the truth is revealed, and I am very happy. ”

Saying that, Xue Chen raised his hand on Su Qiange's hand on the way to reach out to grab the chicken, and slapped him lightly and heavily.

Su Qiange was shocked, and looked at Xue Chen in surprise, revealing surprise in his eyes, and was gradually colored by the dissatisfaction of the latter.

"Why are you hitting me? I didn't do anything to you! ”

"Chefs can't just grab food with their hands." Xue Chen said.

"What's wrong, you feel dirty?" Su Qiange stretched out his two paws and swayed up and down in the air dissatisfied, "I still made this chicken with these dirty hands, don't you eat it if you have the ability." ”

Xue Chen frowned and looked at Su Qiange, "I don't usually see you reasoning so much with anyone, why are you sharp-toothed when you come to me?" ”

Putting his hand on the table with a snap, Su Qiange pouted and said, "I'm not sharp-tongued, I'm justified." It's all a fox on the mountain, who dislikes whom......"

This crooked one is almost paralyzed! Xue Chen was helpless.

"I don't dislike you for being dirty, it's unsightly to eat with your hands, you are a woman, even if you usually look cool and heroic, you should pay attention to elegance at this time."

Xue Chen also fully considered the usual, which was already very rare.

But Su Qiange took the bar essence to the extreme.

"I'm hungry, of course I have to hurry up and eat, have you ever seen people who are about to starve to death, and what do you pay attention to eating and not eating?"

Xue Chen, "......"

He's really seen what a starving man is like.

couldn't make sense of Su Qiange, Xue Chen simply turned his head to talk to Zheng Yi, "By the way, I've been working with Governor Zhang for so long, which Zhang is his I haven't asked yet, do you know?" ”
