At this time, Wang Jien pushed the door out and said, "What's the noise outside?" ”

Long Zhen bowed and said, "It's not clear. The screams came from the side of the chamber. Because there was no manpower, no one was sent to inspect it - or let Leng Yi go and see it? ”

Wang Jien raised his eyebrows and glanced at him with disdain: "You let Lord Leng go to see it?" Don't you know who he is? He has a royal gold belt around his waist, and you still command him? ”

Long Zhen blushed and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Guilty of despicable duties." Let's go and see! ”

With that, he turned around and hurried away.

Wang Jien looked at his back and snorted: "I don't know what is high or low!" ”

Leng Yi looked at the side of the room and said, "Listening to this voice, I'm afraid something big has happened." Let's ask the officials to get up. ”

Wang Jien couldn't help frowning when he heard the constant screams over there, and said, "Okay! He turned around and went into the house.

After a while, Long Zhen stepped on the thick snow and ran back quickly, with a panicked look on his face: "Where is the prince?" ”

Leng Yi didn't ask what was wrong, and said to Nunu in the house: "It's inside!" ”

Long Zhen didn't dare to shout, so he could only stand and wait.

After a while, Wang Jien finally came out, looked at Long Zhen, and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Oh no!" Long Zhen said: "Daji beauty is dead!" ”

"What?" Wang Jien frowned and said, "How did you die?" ”

"I don't know, the maid of Da Ji Beauty and the eldest princess of Lu Guo went to knock on the door of Da Ji Beauty's house, but they didn't open it. There was no sound inside. They kicked the door open, and when they entered, they found Daki Bijin lying on the ground, out of breath. ”

"Was it killed?"

"I don't know, but there is no murder weapon in the room, and there is no blood on the body of Daji Beauty. In the room, except for the screen on which the clothes were hung down, other things were also fine. ”

At this moment, I heard Zhao Guangyi's voice in the house: "What's wrong?" What are you doing in the early morning? ”

Wang Jien hurriedly turned around and went in, bowed to Zhao Guangyi and said, "Back to the official's house, Long Zhen went to investigate just now, and said that Daji Beauty was dead." ”

Zhao Guangyi was taken aback: "She's dead?" How did he die? ”

"I don't know yet, but there are no obvious signs of victimization yet."

"If you don't die sooner or later, why did you die at this time? And I don't know how he died? If it is spread out like this, what will the Zheng family say outside? What will the ministers of the court say? ”

Wang Jien said: "Yes, I'm afraid that the cause of death must be investigated before I can give them an explanation." ”

"I can't explain it!" Zhao Guangyi stomped his feet and said: "No matter what, they won't approve of it, they will all think that I did it!" ”

Zhao Guangyi turned around a few times, finally stood up, and said, "Pass Leng Yi!" ”

Leng Yi came in and bowed.

Zhao Guangyi said: "You are responsible for investigating and dealing with the violent death of Daji Beauty." Report the results! Keep it a secret from the outside world. Especially not let the Zheng family know! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Leng Yi bowed and said, "But Weichen needs a few helpers to serve as on-site guards, summon people or record confessions or something." ”

"Wang Jien, you go and arrange it!"

Wang Jien agreed, he had already said last time that Leng Yi wanted to do something, and he would find the eunuchs and palace maids last time. Immediately someone rushed to call.

Leng Yi came to the front yard wing. This courtyard is inhabited by the concubines of Emperor Taizu, and Daji Beauty is also here. The courtyard was full of people, and the porch where Daji Meiren lived was also covered with thick snow, and the door was open, and a palace maid knelt in the snow at the door, whining and crying.

Leng Yi stepped forward, arrived at the door, and glanced at the house, only to see Da Ji beauty falling motionless on a pile of scattered clothes.

She was ** on her lower body, and only wore a dirty dress on her upper body, and a few straps were wrapped around her back. Barefoot, a pair of slippers fell to the side.

Leng Yi looked around at everyone and said, "Just now, the official family has issued an order to make the lowly official responsible for investigating the death of Daji Meiren Niangniang, so the lowly official may ask you later, now, please return to your room immediately, don't come out, and don't talk about it." ”

Everyone is reluctant to provoke right and wrong, and now that the concubine of the first emperor has died mysteriously, and he knows that this beauty's family is very powerful, so it is best not to provoke, and one by one he was eager to leave, so he returned to his house. The courtyard fell silent all at once.

Leng Yi glanced at the scattered footprints in the snow in the yard, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this mess, I'm afraid that the useful traces have disappeared.

Leng Yi said to Dai Qin, the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground: "You tell me what happened." ”

Dai Qin's petite body trembled, obviously very scared, and said tremblingly: "Last night, the slave maid went to sleep after serving the maid and removing her makeup, and the slave maid went to sleep next door......

"You sleep next door?"

"Yes! Because the meditation rooms in the temple are very small, it is too crowded to put two beds. So the mother let the slave and maid sleep next door, anyway, the one next to each other, the mother summoned the slave and maid can hear it. ”

"Did you hear anything last night?"

"The slave and maid did not, and after the servant mother fell asleep, the slave and maid went back to their room and slept. I didn't hear Niangniang call the slave all night, and I didn't hear any movement from Niangniang until dawn in the morning. The slave and maid got up and came over, and when she saw that the door of her room was still closed, she went up and knocked on the door, but she did not hear her answer. The slave and maid were in a hurry, and they banged on the door and called. At this time, the eldest princess of Lu, the eldest princess of Wei, and the second prince all woke up, opened the door and asked. And the slave and maid spoke. The eldest princess of Lu came over and also tapped the door to call, but still did not hear a response. The eldest princess of Lu Guo said that it was not good, maybe something had happened, so she slammed it hard, and broke the latch of the door, and after hitting the door, we saw Da Ji beauty fall motionless in the pile of clothes, and the slave maid was frightened, and went up to call, only to find that the mother was out of breath, and her body was already stiff. And the slave and the maid began to weep. That's the way it is. ”

Leng Yi said: "You get up first and wait on the side." ”

"Yes! Thank you, sir! Dai Qin got up and stood aside.

Leng Yi first carefully observed the situation of the door, and then stepped in to inspect the broken latch on the door frame.

The latches were half-inserted into the frame, and the other section fell to the ground.

Leng Yi picked up the broken door latch and looked at it, the crack was uneven, and then looked at a section on the door frame, the direction of the break was consistent with the direction of impact. And the latch frame of the door frame also shook open a little, indicating that it was indeed broken after the slamming from the outside, which is consistent with what Dai Qin said.

Leng Yi squatted on the ground and checked the traces on the ground, there was nothing unusual. He carefully avoided any places where he might leave marks and went to inspect the corpse.

The corpse was at the end of the bed, with its feet close to the edge of the bed, its head facing diagonally outward, and beside it was a screen of toppled clothes hanging from which the dress that Daki had worn yesterday. At the end of the bed, there was a red-lacquered toilet, and Leng Yi opened the lid and saw some urine inside. The quilt on the bed lifted a corner. Near the bed, there is a pair of slippers with the head of the slippers facing the bed.

Leng Yi squatted down and carefully examined the back of the corpse first. Da Ji Beauty's figure is slightly fat, and her waist is no longer so slender. It's no wonder that her husband Zhao Kuangyin is dead. The woman is pleased, her husband is dead, who else does she lose weight to? Naturally, it is easy to eat openly, and it is inevitable to gain weight.

On the right side of the corpse's waist, Leng Yi saw another finger-long bruise, he turned over and over to inspect the bruises, and then observed the corpse's waist left and right, there was nothing that could form such a scar. That's weird. He stood up and said to Dai Qin, who was crying softly outside the door, "You come in!" ”

Dai Qin lowered her head and stepped in.

Leng Yi pointed to the long bruise on the waist of the corpse and said, "What's the matter with your mother's injury?" ”

Dai Qin glanced at it and hurriedly said, "It's not right!" Last night, when the slave maid helped the mother to widen her clothes, she didn't see any bruises here. ”

"Do you see clearly?"

"The slave and maid really saw it, and it was true, because when the mother was sleeping, she had to change into sleeping profane clothes, so the slave and maid helped her take off her clothes, and then put on sleeping profane clothes. It is necessary to tie a belt around the back of the mother's profane clothes, if there is such a scar on the back waist, it is impossible for the slave to be invisible. ”

"Then how did this scar come from?"

"This slave doesn't know."

Leng Yi frowned and thought for a moment, but he couldn't figure out how it was formed. I walked to the window and carefully inspected the windows, they were all well closed, and they were all bolted from the inside, and the window paper was intact.

This is strange, the doors and windows are closed, which means that there are no outsiders to invade and murder. However, there was an extra strip of bruises on the waist of the corpse, and the bruise was on the back of the corpse. The deceased fell face down and died, and even if he touched something when he fell, it could not have formed in the back of the corpse. Besides, near the waist and abdomen of the deceased, there were only flat green bricks on the ground, and there was nothing that could cause such scars.

So where does this scar come from?

Leng Yi couldn't think of it, so he had to put down this problem first. The examination of the body continued.

Leng Yi first untied the strap of the profane clothes, and then carefully turned the corpse over, the lower limbs of the corpse were already stiff, and the upper body was still relatively soft. It was as laborious as if it were turning a large piece of wood.

The body was turned on its back and turned to the sky. Leng Yi inspected the profane clothes, and after there was nothing unusual, he took off the profane clothes and put them aside.

Now, the whole corpse has become a **. On the head and face, chest and abdomen and the front of the thighs, there are large corpse spots formed, but the front of the ** and thighs are all white, and there are no corpse spots. This is because corpse spots are formed by the accumulation of blood in the lower parts of the body under the action of gravity. Now the corpse is in a prone position, face down, and these parts are compressed, and the blood cannot reach these positions, so no corpse spots form in these places.

This also indicates that the corpse should not have been moved during the formation of corpse spots.

Leng Yi lightly pressed it with his fingers, and then let go. The corpse spots faded and slowly recovered. Combined with the comprehensive judgment of the zombie situation, the time of death should be around midnight.

No injuries were found on the front of the body. He began to examine the head and face of the corpse. The corpse's eyes were slightly open, as if it was dead.

When Leng Yi's gaze fell on Da Ji's beauty's face, he couldn't help but sigh. I saw that Da Ji Beauty's entire face was bruised, although the degree was not deep, but it already made Leng Yi feel wrong, because she was face down to death, and under her body was a dress hanging on the screen, because it was cold in the past few days, and the weather was very cold, so the dress she was wearing was very thick, and Da Ji Beauty was face down, and her face was pressed on the dress, it stands to reason that the blood could not flow in the oppressed parts, so it would not form corpse spots, so these parts should be as white as the ** she was compressed. But now it's bruised, which can only mean one thing - these bruises are caused by suffocation by the mechanical surname!

This is why Daki Mito died?

Leng Yi opened the eyelids of the deceased, and sure enough, he saw scattered petechiae bleeding in the eyelid conjunctiva. When I opened my mouth again, I had the same bleeding from the oral mucosa.

Preliminarily, Daji Beauty died of suffocation with the surname of the instrument, but what exactly caused it? Further clarification is needed.

Leng Yi looked at Daji Beauty's neck, and there were no strangulation marks or strangulation marks. I touched my neck, but I didn't feel a broken bone. In addition, the facial bruising and swelling are not obvious, which is not quite consistent with the death of suffocation caused by strangulation. It is consistent with the characteristics of suffocation caused by the closed mouth and nose.

Could it be that Daji Meiren fell into the pile of clothes, passed out again, and was covered by her clothes, causing her to suffocate to death?

Wrong!

Leng Yi immediately refuted his own assumption, - if Da Ji Meijin was caused by a coma, and she took sleeping drugs before going to bed and fell into a coma, it would be impossible for her to get up and overturn the screen and die on the ground.

Could it be an accidental fall while waking up, injuring a coma?

Leng Yi stroked Daji Beauty's face, mouth and nose, and found no impact injuries. - How is it possible that an injury that could have caused her to fall unconscious did not cause any scars on her face?

If you don't fall face down, could it be a fall with your back down, hitting the brick floor with the back of your head, causing a concussion and coma?

Leng Yi probed his hand to the back of her head and touched it, and couldn't help but frown, it turned out that in the back of Daji Beauty's head, there was indeed a subcutaneous hematoma!

Leng Yi lifted the deceased's head and parted his hair to inspect the scalp, and indeed a round lump protruded.

Leng Yi groaned slightly, looked at the feet propped up by the screen hanging clothes on the left side of the deceased who had fallen to the ground, and his eyes lit up, if the deceased fell with his back to the ground, then it could explain why there was a strip of bruises on the deceased's right waist! It was formed when the deceased fell on his back and the right side of the lower back hit the crossfoot used for balance under the overturned screen. The part is just the same, too!

Leng Yi's gaze fell on the pair of shoes in front of the bed again, and the head of the shoes was facing the bed, which also showed that the deceased was facing the bed when he fell.
