Fragments of hair were found in the fatal wounds of the two female corpses, with more hair in the left chest wound in the first and less hair in the wound in the throat of the second woman.

"W-What does this mean?" One old, two young, and three father-in-law Zhang were all stunned, and they didn't know why.

Only Lu Yuanzhi's face shook with fat on his face, and he quickly squatted down to look at the other injuries on the surface of the two corpses, and after careful inspection, his voice was a little fluttering: "Brother Qin, the other injuries of the two female corpses either have no broken hair, or the number is very small!" ”

Even if Zhang Hongcheng's mansion was deep, he couldn't help but wonder at this time: "What do you mean?" Why is there hair in the wound? ”

"You stupid," the fat man said, pointing to the wound, and foaming at the mouth, "These hairs were cut by His Majesty in front of the two palace maids, and they were stained on the sword, and the first stab wound was brought into the hair, and the back stabbed wound had little or no hair at all." In other words, the two palace maids were first stabbed to fatal wounds, and when they were dying, they were cut with many swords, pretending to be slashed by a drunk person with a sword! ”

After that, the fat man remembered that this old eunuch was an old-timer who even Feng Bao had to give him some face, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and sneered: "Grandpa Zhang, I didn't mean you were stupid......"

Zhang Hong was very happy, and didn't care about Lu Yuanzhi's offensive words, but followed his example and carefully examined the wound.

Qin Lin simply opened a few wounds with both hands, asked Zhang Hong to take a closer look, and then touched the remaining hair on the top of the corpse's head, and said with a smile: "Look, after rubbing osmanthus oil, no wonder it sticks so much to the blade of the sword." ”

Although Wanli panicked and did the stupid thing of destroying the scene and destroying evidence, his previous actions inadvertently left strong evidence for himself.

Human hair is actually quite tough, and the sword that Wanli wears can't cut off a lot of the young maid's hair with a sword, and if he wants to "cut his hair and act as the head", he will drag and cut it back and forth with the sword, so that many fine broken hairs are formed.

The two palace maids wore makeup before dancing, and their hair was rubbed with osmanthus oil for hair care, and the broken hair with hair oil stuck a lot on the blade of the sword.

The murderer used this sword to kill people, and the broken hair was brought into the wound of the deceased by the blade, and the first stab wound had more broken hair, and the later stabbed wound had less broken hair, or no hair at all.

From this, it can be found that the process of committing the murder is not like the superficial "the murderer stabs indiscriminately - the victim resists and forms a resistance injury - the murderer hits the fatal place and the victim dies", but the murderer first stabbed the fatal wound, and then used the tip of the sword to scribble on the dying victim, faking the resistance injury and blaming Wanli.

The hair inside the wound is ironclad proof!

Zhang Hong listened to Qin Lin's explanation, looked at the wound with his own eyes, thought about it and said: "General Qin, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, if others say that Your Majesty is drunk and murderous, and after killing two palace maids, he continues to commit violence, and scratches them with the tip of his sword, how can he refute it?" ”

Qin Lin laughed: "Your Majesty is very drunk, and Duke Feng is the best witness." ”

Zhang Hong suddenly realized, looking at Qin Lin's expression was different from before.

Everyone knows how much Wanli is afraid of Feng Daban, every time Feng Bao complains to his mother, Wanli has to be criticized, but he was so drunk last night that he dared to go to Feng Bao's residence to go drunk, you can imagine how drunk he is.

Drunk like this, he even fell down when he walked, and he could still hold a sharp sword and kill the two lively palace maids, one piercing the heart and the other piercing the throat, as clean as killing chickens? Could it be that Wanli is a martial arts master, or a drunken sword practice?

Moreover, Wanli was drunk at that time, Feng Bao also said in person when he complained to the Empress Dowager Li, who wants to believe it, go and confront Feng Dugong!

With this article alone, Wanli's charges can be cleared of seventy or eighty percent.

"Next, let's go find a few other parties," Qin Lin waved his hand, his eyes narrowed: "Maybe they can provide more clues." ”

The eunuchs who participated in the drinking in the Quliu Pavilion last night were all strictly guarded, and they were locked in a nearby palace room, one room for each person, and were supervised by the celebrant eunuch, the imperial horse eunuch and the Dongchang inspector.

Qin Lin was interrogated individually one by one, and the first person to be interrogated was Sun Dexiu, the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi.

This person is in his thirties, and he is ranked after Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale in the celebrant eunuch, and he was originally a high-flying and domineering eunuch, but at this time, he was treated with a panicked expression.

He also knew Qin Lin, the number one person, and shouted grievances when they met: "General Qin, please be sure to show the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty and we are really wronged!" Yesterday was not the second watch, everyone was drunk, and this morning, two corpses were inexplicably placed there......"

Qin Lin interrogated, Sun Dexiu basically didn't know, said that he was too drunk last night, and only vaguely remembered that Wanli cut the hair of the palace maid with a sword, and then he fell asleep.

"And what about the morning?" Qin Lin looked at the other party's eyes and said carefully: "Think about it, who found the body first, and who advocated cleaning the scene?" ”

Sun Dexiu thought for a while, he didn't wake up from a hangover in the morning, and he was very flustered when he found the dead body, and he couldn't remember what happened clearly, and he said unsure for a while: "Probably Mrs. Wen, yes, it was Mrs. Wen who first raised his voice and woke everyone up, and His Majesty was also panicked at that time, and it was Mrs. Wen who came up with the idea, saying that he wanted to hide this matter and call someone to clean the Quliu Pavilion." ”

Mrs. Wen is also the eunuch of the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi, a white and pure little man, he told Qin Lin like this: "Yes, it was our family who discovered the body first, and it is also our idea to persuade Your Majesty to conceal it, and it is not Your Majesty's business!" ”

Qin Lin groaned for a moment, and Zhang Hong interjected and asked, "You killed the person?" ”

"Ancestor, how is it possible?" Mrs. Wen smiled bitterly and said calmly: "Ancestor, you also know that if we want to kill two palace maids, we don't have to use such a stupid method, right?" Alas~ It's really bad luck......"

Zhang Hong's words are really good, in fact, it is too easy for the identity of the celebrant to kill ordinary palace maids, and the queen has killed seven or eight eunuchs and palace maids with a cane, just say that her hands and feet are not clean, and she is disobedient to the palace maid, where is it like Wanli This time, not only killed people after drinking, but also "did it himself", there is no dignity at all, and it is no wonder that the Empress Dowager Li wants to be angry.

Qin Lin thought for a moment and deliberately asked, "Maybe you have ill intentions and want to blame Your Majesty?" ”

Mrs. Wen smiled bitterly: "If you want to ask who in the entire palace wants Your Majesty to be safe and sound, our family will not say that it is the first, but it will also be ranked in the top ten, and at the age of twenty-nine, he will be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies and the pen." General Qin doesn't believe it, as long as he asks Old Ancestor Zhang, it will be clear that there are not many of us. ”

Zhang Hong nodded, Mrs. Wen climbed to the position of the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi by flattering Wanli, maybe someone in the palace wanted Wanli to step down, but he was never included.

The third person present was Sun Hai, the eunuch in charge of the Qianqing Palace, who just saw Zhang Hong and began to shout: "It was I who killed someone, it's none of Your Majesty's business, if you want to kill me, you have to scrape me alone!" ”

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, could it really be a good thing that Sun Hai did?

Zhang Hong was extremely angry, and walked up and snapped him with a heavy ear scraper: "Bastard!" Why didn't you say that just now? ”

"Just now, just now I was obsessed with the ghost and wanted to take this matter away, I heard that it affected Your Majesty, I, I had to say it," Sun Hai cried with a sad face, grabbed the corner of Zhang Hong's robe and pulled directly: "Ask the ancestor to tell the Queen Mother, it is really the person I killed, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty." ”

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale looked at each other, their expressions were very happy, and they waited to report the good news to Cining Palace.

Qin Lin had already seen a little bit of the way, and laughed teasingly: "Grandpa Sun, since you killed the person, do you remember it clearly?" ”

"Remember, remember," Sun Hai said in a colorful voice: "Two little ladyskins, I want to find them to eat in pairs, but I actually push back and forth, I have become the steward and eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, a figure with a head and a face, can I not be angry?" ”

Eunuchs and palace maids make fake couples, called food, which is also a common thing in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many people who are jealous of this matter, and even some cronies and eunuchs and palace maids have emotional disputes, shouting in front of the emperor to ask for mediation.

Qin Lin kept nodding his head, making the slightest suspicion, and suddenly asked casually, "So that's the case, how did you kill the two palace maids with your sword?" ”

"Of course, it's with His Majesty's sword," Sun Hai made a ruthless look on his face, and said sharply: "I cut them with a sword, the two little girls desperately resisted, I slashed a sword on the left and a sword on the right, and stabbed several places, and finally I was stabbed in the throat and heart, haha, I finally got out of the bad breath!" ”

Saying that, Sun Hai couldn't pretend to be able to pretend, and his face became confused, because the second master of ceremonies couldn't cry or laugh, and looking at him was like looking at a piece of.

The corners of Zhang Hong's mouth twitched, and he was so angry that he slapped him again: "Stupid, General Qin found out just now that the two palace maids were stabbed in the throat and heart first, and the sword wounds elsewhere were only scratched later!" ”

Me, I...... Sun Hai snorted for a long time, and finally stalked his neck: "It's my mistake, I really stabbed the key points first, and then I hated them, and slashed several swords at them." ”

All the people increased their quotas with their hands, and Sun Hai really didn't care about anything in order to take the blame for Wanli.

Speaking of which, if Wanli is really abolished, I am afraid that these parties will not end well, it is better to fight for themselves and free the emperor, even if they resist the fate, Wanli will not treat his family badly in the future!

Qin Lin patted Sun Hai on the shoulder: "Brother, if you want to wash your majesty away, please tell the truth and provide as many clues as possible, instead of talking nonsense like you, thinking that you can help Your Majesty, but I don't know that you are pulling yourself like this, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cisheng, it is really Your Majesty's murder!" ”

Yes? Sun Hai was startled, thought carefully about what Qin Lin said made sense, and hurriedly shook his hand and said, "General Qin, Old Ancestor, just now it was indeed nonsense, and I want to take down the charges for Your Majesty." Actually, I slept so drowsy last night that I didn't know anything! Old Ancestor Zhang, your old man knows very well that I have been following His Majesty since the East Palace, I don't drink, gamble, or lack money, why do you want to do such a thing? ”

Sun Hai is the eunuch who began to take care of Wanli in his infancy, it can be said that there is a day of Wanli, there is a day of Sun Hai, he wants to do this thing, unless his head is convulsed, on the contrary, he even sacrifices himself to protect Wanli.

"That's right," Qin Lin nodded encouragingly, "Only by telling the truth can we help Your Majesty as much as possible." ”

When asked Sun Hai about the specific situation, he was also at a loss, but he provided a new situation.

With his eyes open and a cautious look left and right, Sun Haishen chattered: "Old ancestor, General Qin, I didn't want to say it originally, but the prince of heaven and earth, the loyal monarch can't take care of the righteousness of his friends, so that you can know that the guest is not honest when he drinks with that guy, he has always drunk half and sprinkled half, maybe only he is not drunk to death this time, you interrogate him more, there may be clues." ”

Like Sun Hai, the guests are the stewards and eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace, with sharp beaks and monkey gills, and they are also wearing plain clothes to be punished, and they are locked in a separate room alone, and there are many guards outside.

"How do you know that our family is drinking and cheating?" The guest's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly slammed his fist against the wall: "It must be Sun Hai's guy who betrayed me, only he knows that I will pour half of the wine on my chest when I drink!" ”

"That's a good idea," Qin Lin nodded: "My chest was drenched with wine, and I looked full of alcohol, but I didn't really drink it." ”

The guest was a little proud when he heard this, and then he became angry: "Hmph, Sun Hai actually betrayed his friend, okay, let's be loyal!" Yes, I wasn't really drunk yesterday, I heard a woman calling Sun Gonggong in a daze, so I didn't say it for fear of affecting Sun Hai......"

As Sun Hai said, the guest was the least drunk, Wanli and the other three eunuchs were drunk and unconscious, only he still maintained a little vague consciousness, drunk and lying on the ground, I don't know when I vaguely heard a palace maid calling Sun Gonggong.

Of course, he was also very drunk, Qin Lin asked him if he could be sure that it was "Sun" father-in-law, and the guest immediately became puzzled, thinking that it was possible for Shen and Wen to be father-in-law.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Zhang Hong was so angry that he wanted to beat the guest.

"I think, I want to ......" Keyong lowered his head, not daring to answer.

Zhang Whale suddenly sneered: "It must be that you are good friends with Sun Hai, for fear of implicating him, and you want to hide this matter and push it on Your Majesty's head!" ”

"I didn't think so!" The guest argued with a stalk around his neck: "I just think that it is not a big deal for His Majesty to kill two palace maids, but if Sun Hai is involved, he will be unlucky, so he ......."

Hum! Zhang Hong's face turned blue with anger, and he waved his sleeves.

Qin Lin saw that the guest couldn't ask anything here, so he pulled Zhang Hong and led everyone out of the room.

The results of the interrogation of the four parties were very interesting, Sun Dexiu and Wen Tai did not ask for the real surname, Sun Hai first wanted to take the blame for Wanli, and then said that the degree of drunkenness was relatively light, but the guest said that he had heard the palace maid call Sun Gonggong, or Shen Gonggong and other similar titles.
