Chapter 87: It's Murder
When Song Yi saw the true king, his heart was settled.
The prince's face was upright, and he asked the prison department to deal with it impartially.
Zhu Xi was on the side and did not stop the prince from performing.
This matter has already alarmed the emperor, and if the investigation is not revealed, the emperor will not give up.
Fortunately, Lord Liang of the Criminal Prison Division does not belong to the two factions of the crown prince and the second prince.
Zhu Xi lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Soon, a gray-haired man came to inspect the scene.
There were no signs of a fight in the house, and there were no extracorporeal injuries on Lan'er's body.
Song Yi watched the process of the autopsy from the sidelines.
This was the first time she had witnessed how ancient people performed autopsies.
There is no series of dazzling operations before Song Ci's autopsy in the TV series.
Bland, completely devoid of any surprises.
At this moment, Song Yi can still comment on the Qian's affairs like an outsider.
Soon, the man had finished surveying the scene and was ready to have the body put down.
When Song Yi saw it, he shouted, "Slow." You're done checking it out like that? ”
Song Yi suddenly attacked, which startled everyone in the hall.
Especially for the pretend, I don't know how the "suspect" dares to make a loud noise.
However, those in the palace who are more qualified to speak than him, the crown prince and the true king, they did not stop them, and they did not take it to heart.
"County Lord, the villain has finished checking. There were no external injuries on the palace maid's body, and there were no traces of fighting in the palace. It should be that the palace maid couldn't think about it, and the hanging beam committed suicide."
The crown prince was on the side, his eyes flickered, and he smiled slightly, "Lord Liang, do you see it that way?" ”
Lord Liang, who was named by the crown prince, said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness the prince, this person is the most experienced servant of the Criminal Prison Division. Since he examined it, he has never made a mistake. It should be true that as he said, the palace maid Lan'er committed suicide."
Lord Liang has a businesslike meaning, but no one knows that he is a person from King Liang.
And Zhao Pangjing, the king of Liang, had already greeted him and wanted to sentence the county lord of Qingping not guilty.
At this moment, Lord Liang is carrying out King Liang's order.
When the prince saw Lord Liang like this, although he had doubts in his heart, he also had to believe that after all, Lord Liang was a well-known selfless person in the court.
But at this moment, no one thought that someone would be in trouble.
"You lie, Lan'er was obviously killed"
Everyone in the hall was shocked, but they didn't expect that it would be Song Yi, the county lord of Qingping, who questioned him.
"Qingping County Lord, the villain is the criminal prison director, how can he be wrong? County lord, don't pretend to understand."
I was questioned by others, and I was unhappy in my heart, although I was really pretentious and fooling people just now, but I was questioned professionally, and I couldn't help but refute it.
"Bold, the county lord of Qingping is actually questionable?" Lord Liang was the first to challenge him.
He listened to the words and immediately knelt down to plead guilty.
The crown prince was on the sidelines, watching this sudden appearance, with a playful smile on his face.
And Zhu Xi has been standing beside Song Yi, although he did not speak, but a discerning person can see that he is sheltering the county lord of Qingping.
"The county lord, after doing an autopsy, said that Lan'er committed suicide. And you just said that Lan'er was killed by someone. The king is now confused. What evidence do you have that Lan'er was murdered? ”
The prince's words made Song Yi speak.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although he is a post-mortem professional. But Song Yi once saw in the book that the autopsy process. Especially people like hanging, you can't be sloppy at all."
"Oh? Is the county lord sure? This is a serious accusation. Have you figured it out? You have a relationship with Lan'er, and everyone who went to the banquet last night saw it with their own eyes. And the county lord stayed in the palace last night and found Lan'er's body. All this is not good for the county lord."
Of course, Song Yi understood what the prince meant, but human life was at stake, and she couldn't see a living person die in front of her eyes like this.
Moreover, she is sure that she can prove her innocence.
Song Yi hesitated a little in her heart, but behind her, the real king secretly said in her ear, "Trust me"
It was this sentence that made Song Yi firmly believe in his determination to find out the truth.
Song Yi opened his mouth and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, if Song Yi can find out the truth, can he let Song Yi conduct an autopsy himself?" ”
"You want an autopsy?" The crown prince was even more shocked.
"The prince can't," Lord Liang said to stop, "This is against the law, the autopsy is a duty, how can the county lord conduct the autopsy himself?" ”
"Why not?" The real king finally exited and retorted to Lord Liang, "The county lord is just a little suspicious, so the emperor will ask Lord Liang to preside over the trial, and the prince and Xiao Wang will supervise the trial." Since the county lord has questioned the professionalism of your company's work, of course, he can prove his innocence. ”
"His Royal Highness the True King, my subordinates don't mean that. It's just that, however, there is no such precedent in this dynasty. An autopsy that is not a fake"
"Lord Liang, this palace doesn't know, you are so pedantic. Since the true king has already said this, this palace also feels that what the true king said is extremely true. Since the county lord of Qingping knows how to perform an autopsy, why not let her re-examine herself? As for what you were worried about, why is it difficult? This palace is willing to protect the county lord of Qingping, and the true king will definitely not refuse."
With the crown prince and the real king as guarantors, Lord Liang did not dare to have any objections.
Song Yi asked people to prepare a set of autopsy clothes to change into, and asked them to record the steps of her autopsy.
When everything was ready, Song Yi calmed down and walked to the place where Lan'er "hung the beam".
First of all, Song Yi looked at the surrounding environment, and recorded the exact position of the Lan'er cantilever beam based on the fixed position of the perimeter.
Then people took the foot pad of Lan'er's climb and put it at Lan'er's feet, and recorded the height of the foot pad, the height of Lan'er's feet in the air, and the distance between her feet and the foot pad surface.
After doing all this, Song Yi asked people to check the position of Lan'er's hanging beam and record whether there were traces of friction on the beam.
And record the situation of Bai Aya on the upper and lower throats of Lan'er, Lan'er's eyes, mouth, and tongue.
After doing all this, Song Yi asked Lan'er to gently untie it and lie down on the straw mat prepared in advance.
Song Yi is meticulous and makes people make good records.
Song Yi looked at Lan'er who was put down, and saw her cardamom age, but she had already died, and she was really sorry and sad for her.
However, soon, Song Yi restrained his emotions and continued his next actions.
Song Yi first checked whether the clothes on Lan'er's body were smooth, and then judged the time of death according to the stiffness of the body's limbs and the elasticity of the skin.
Then examine the various parts from head to toe, front and back. These inspections are documented.
After doing all this, Song Yi really relaxed.
If before the retest, she was only 50% sure of her innocence, but now she has 10%.
After Song Yi finished his actions and respectfully bowed to Lan'er three times, he left the inner room.
The work of the Criminal Prison Department has been following behind, and he was careless at first, but he saw that the county lord of Qingping was extremely professional, and very rigorous, and he looked good.
He put away his contempt and knew that the county lord was a real master.
At this moment, he was silent on the side with an embarrassed face.
When Zhu Xi saw that Song Yi finally came out, he saw that Song Yi had no joy on his face, thinking that there was no good news.
But Song Yi said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the True King, Lord Liang, after Song Yi's re-examination just now, it has been confirmed that Lan'er was murdered, not hanged. ”
