159 Two Dead Bodies (1)
"Your Excellency." Yuhai squinted his hands and looked over here: "What are you doing walking around and looking at that paper man?" What Niangniang wants is the cause of Miss Xiao's death. Can you see the truth by looking at this paper figure? ”
"Huh." Jun Qinglan looked at him coldly: "Everything that appears at the scene of the crime is important evidence, maybe there are some clues hidden." The father-in-law only blindly urged Jun Qinglan to investigate the dead body, could it be that you already knew the cause of death? Then, please let my father-in-law give me advice! ”
Yuhai was choked by his words, and popped out the orchid finger and pointed at Jun Qinglan viciously: "Bold!" ”
"Tang Ying." Li Congyao raised his eyes suddenly, glanced under the tree and said lightly, "Clear the field." ”
"All the idle people who obstruct Lord Jun's handling of the case will be beaten out!" He said.
Yuhai was completely dumbfounded. No matter how hard his background is, his life is soft. At this time, there is no need to fight against the knife.
Jun Qinglan glanced at Li Congyao, that person's eyes had never looked here. She could feel that yesterday he clearly had plans to marry Xiao Wan, but today this person is here and with another man. This should be a fatal insult to him.
At this time, how could he still be so indifferent? Could it be that he doesn't care about Xiao Wan so much?
"Your Excellency." Xiao Liang clenched his fists and whispered: "Wan'er, you will never die together with a man for nothing." She must have been framed. ”
"What is the cause of Miss Xiao's death, I can't answer you now, everything has to rely on evidence. I'm going to have an autopsy before she performs an autopsy, so why don't you wait on the side? ”
"I ......."
Xiao Liang was about to speak, but suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Get out!" You dare to stop the master's horse?! ”
Everyone looked sideways, and saw that in the midst of the smoke and dust, a man and a horse rushed quickly.
Jun Qinglan squinted her eyes, is it Jiang Yufan?! Isn't Xiao Wan's case going to block the news? Why did this man come here?
"Huh." Jiang Yufan's eyes were sharp, and he saw Jun Qinglan at a glance, and Le Mahaha smiled: "I know that where there are dead people, you must have Jun Qinglan." The master is not a loss. ”
Jun Qinglan was silent, what's the matter with not feeling proud of your compliment?
"Ginger...... Master Jiang, how do you ......? Xiao Liang looked at Jiang Yufan dumbfounded, and his heart was mixed for a while, and he didn't know what to say?
Jiang Yufan dismounted and threw the reins to Xiao Liang casually: "Naturally, the emperor called me here, you go and tie the horse for the master." Since Jun Qinglan and I are here, I don't need any of you. ”
Xiao Liang stared at the reins in his hand, his face turned dark. However, who would dare to provoke this lawless demon king in Yanjing City? Xiao Liang opened his mouth, but finally lowered his head and silently led the horse away.
"Why are you here?" Jun Qinglan was not as easy to dismiss as Xiao Liang, and her clear eyes stared at Jiang Yufan for a moment.
"Didn't you just say that? Naturally, the emperor ordered me to come. Otherwise, who do you think loves to deal with these dead corpses every day? ”
Jun Qinglan pursed her lips and didn't speak. Xiao Wan's death is definitely not glorious, Xiao Guifei deliberately covered up this matter, so she ordered the soldiers and horses of the Wucheng battalion to set up roadblocks. The emperor loves Concubine Xiao Guifei and naturally obeys her.
It stands to reason that apart from Duanwangfu and the Xiao family, no third party should know about this matter. Why did the emperor suddenly call Jiang Yufan to come in again?
"You doubt my words, too?" Jiang Yufan looked at Jun Qinglan's face and felt seriously hurt in his heart: "The emperor announced that I would enter the palace early in the morning, and he told me that I was not allowed to tell anyone about this, so I came in a hurry." I guess the emperor didn't know you were there. Otherwise, you don't need to ask me to come here and watch. ”
That makes sense. No matter why Xiao Wan died, Concubine Xiao and the emperor needed a reasonable reason. But Xiao Liang and Yuhai are not the material for investigating the case, it is estimated that in the emperor's heart, the only trustworthy and capable person is Jiang Yufan.
"Since we're here, let's take a look."
Jun Qinglan never worried that Jiang Yufan would cause trouble for her, on the contrary, he was here to help her record many things. She walked beside Xiao Wan and watched carefully.
Xiao Wan had delicate makeup painted on her face, and her hair was meticulously tied in a peony bun. The hair, ears, and neck have a whole set of peony national color heads, which are magnificent. However, there was clearly a black aura condensing at the center of her eyebrows, which made her complexion slightly black, and even if she applied white rouge, she couldn't hide it. She rolled up Xiao Wan's sleeve, revealing her fingers. The shellfish on her fingers also had a faint black aura.
Xiao Wan's other hand was pressed tightly on her lower abdomen, and she couldn't pull it away no matter how much she pulled.
Jun Qinglan went to look at the male corpse again, and it was in a similar condition to Xiao Wan. It's just that he hasn't put on makeup, and his complexion is even darker. There are traces of black liquid flowing and solidifying on the mouth, nose, ears, and corners of the eyes.
"It's poisoning!" Jiang Yufan said categorically.
Jun Qinglan was noncommittal, her clear eyes were still staring at the two dead bodies on the ground for a moment.
"I see." Jiang Yufan said: "You said before that people's eyes can lie, and you can't determine the cause of a person's death just by looking at it intuitively. A lot of evidence is needed. ”
He pointed his finger at Xiao Wan: "She has incense powder on her face, saliva on her lips, and kodan on her nails, which will hide the natural color of her corpse after her death." Should we wipe her face clean now and hang up the kodan from her nails? ”
After he said this, Xiao Liang immediately became nervous: "My lord, please save some face for the little girl." ”
"Do you want to make clothes out of face?" Jiang Yufan squinted at Xiao Liang and said coldly: "Do you want the truth or face?" ”
Xiao Liang was choked by him and couldn't speak, but he was clearly unwilling, and looked at Jun Qinglan pitifully with his eyes.
"It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Jun Qinglan finally spoke: "Just prick her throat with a silver needle to see if she is poisoned." ”
Xiao Liang was amnesty, and arched his hand towards Jun Qinglan without a trace. Jiang Yufan glared: "When you wanted to find out if the princess of Southern Xinjiang was poisoned, you didn't say that!" ”
He has a good memory, didn't the method of handling the case just mentioned by Jun Qinglan himself when he investigated the case of the princess of Southern Xinjiang?
"At that time, the people of southern Xinjiang were not allowed to touch the princess's dead body, I can only say that. Now it's different. ”
As she spoke, she took out the silver needle she pulled out of the paper man's head and stabbed it into Xiao Wan's throat. When the silver needle was taken out, it was clear that the bottom of the silver needle had turned black.
"It's really poisoned!" Jun Qinglan stared at the silver needle, thoughtful.
"Looks like you're prepared." Jiang Yufan said: "I actually went out with a silver needle." ”
"It's just local materials." Jun Qinglan smiled and pouted at the paper man under the tree: "The silver needle was originally an object inserted in their heads. ”
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief, wrapped the silver needle that turned into a black end in a handkerchief and handed it to Jiang Yufan: "Since you are here, you will bring this thing back." Let's find out what kind of poison it is as soon as possible. ”
Liu Buyen is not in Duanwangfu now, and Jun Qinglan is not particularly good at testing poisons. Since Jiang Yufan is here, he naturally has to be called worthwhile. This kind of thing is best left to him. Jun Qinglan believes that he will definitely be able to give himself a satisfactory answer.
Jiang Yufan took the handkerchief she handed over, but stood for a long time without moving. His eyes stared at the two paper figures on the ground for a long time, and then he said slowly: "You said that the paper figures have silver needles stuck in their heads." There's another one, isn't there? I want to see. ”
Jun Qinglan handed Jiang Yufan another silver needle wrapped in a handkerchief. He took it solemnly, and the complexion under his eyes showed an unimaginable solemnity. Jun Qinglan was somewhat surprised by his performance. In her impression, Jiang Yufan has never paid much attention to anything, even fame and fortune have always looked down on him. To such a small silver needle...... So cautious?!
"This ......." Jiang Yufan turned the silver needle over and over for a long time before raising his head, but his eyebrows seemed to be tight: "Where did you find this?" Please tell me more about it. ”
Jun Qinglan already felt that the appearance of the two silver needles was strange, and when he looked at his posture now, he was also solemn: "It is the Baihui acupoint on the top of the paper man's head." ”
Jiang Yufan walked beside the paper man with Jun Qinglan, and saw Jun Qinglan raise his hand and pointed towards the middle of the paper man's head. Although the silver needle is very thin, after inserting and removing it from the top of the paper figure's head, it still leaves a small pinhole on the top of the head. Jiang Yu Fanzai carefully looked at the pinholes on the top of the heads of the two paper figures, and finally fixed his eyes on the hem of the clothes tightly tied together by the dead corpse and the paper figures.
"I ...... this way of dying I've heard of it before. He said.
Jun Qinglan sighed and said, "Judging from the current situation, it looks like elopement and martyrdom. ”
"Nope." Jiang Yufan shook his head firmly: "It's not as simple as martyrdom. ”
He slowly raised his eyes, looked at Jun Qinglan and said slowly, word by word: "It's a match-day-marriage!" ”
Jun Qinglan frowned, what is a marriage with heaven? She actually ...... Never heard of it.
However, just as Jiang Yufan said this, he saw that Xiao Liang's whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and suddenly he stood still. Even Li Congyao looked this way.
With a heavenly marriage, so unusual?
"About eight years ago, for some reason, there was not peace in the capital, and many people died." Jiang Yufan groaned for a while, and seemed to consider his words before continuing to speak.
Eight years ago, it was an eventful time when the first emperor died and the prince seized the crown. Yanjing City is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so it will naturally be affected by the battle for the crown prince. From spring to late autumn that year, Yanjing was dying almost every day, and the tragic fighting caused the population of the capital to drop sharply. The heirs of the former emperor were also all lost in that battle, which made the forgotten child in the North Palace cheaper. It was under such circumstances that he ascended to the throne as the only surviving heir of the first emperor.
At that time, Jun Qinglan was still lawless at home in the state capital. Although she had not experienced the massacre that made people talk about it, she would not forget the dark clouds that tightened on her father's brow for a while.
She believes that what Jiang Yufan said about killing many people is not an exaggeration at all.
"I don't know what day or because of what. There was a person in the capital who was Ying Tiandao who suddenly became popular and became a well-known and admired immortal. ”
