Chapter 297: There are traces to follow
"What is the girl thinking?"
Just when Long Xi (Song Xi) was struggling with how to please Zhao Kuo, the main owner suddenly appeared in front of her, and she was so frightened that she took two steps back and held on to the trunk of the tree to stand firmly.
"No, nothing. Long Xi (Song Xi) squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.
She can't say I'm wondering how you're going to get revenge on me!
"Hmm, is the filth here too heavy, and the girl is not feeling well, but do you want me to send you back first?" Zhao Kuo still looked like a humble son, and he didn't have the slightest bit of arrogance because his identity was revealed.
When he started to go in, he found that her face was not good, and he thought that this was Yizhuang after all, although the room where the autopsy was performed had been cleaned, there were still corpses parked in the left and right rooms. She must be uncomfortable when a woman comes here, and it is normal for her to stay in the room for a long time and inhale corpse gas.
But even so, he still admired her very much, and if she was an ordinary woman, she didn't dare to enter this Yizhuang even if she was a bystander, let alone look at the corpse with a blue face.
"Ah, no, no!" Long Xi (Song Xi) waved her hand again and again in fright, after recalling the taste of the ten boards, how could she dare to offend these high-ranking people. She asked herself if she was a righteous and thin heroine, but she didn't want her little body to suffer again.
"Are you really okay?" Zhao Guang was surprised, Long Xi (Song Xi) showed a completely frightened expression, and only came out for a while, what did she encounter, it would not be a deceitful corpse in the blue sky.
He would have laughed if he knew that she wasn't an evil intrusion at all, but that he was afraid of his revenge.
Although he thinks he is not a decent gentleman, he can't take revenge on a woman for this matter. Otherwise, he spends all his time thinking about these people, how can he have the energy to show his strength in the military?
"It's really fine, it's okay. I'll go in and see how Zhu Xingyi is doing!" Long Xi (Song Xi) ran in without looking back after speaking, for fear that he would be caught if he ran slowly.
Before she thought about how to please Zhao Kuo, it was better not to dangle in front of his eyes, lest he be unhappy that day and let her go.
But the problem is that Long Xi (Song Xi) has no talent to please people at all, she can't learn from her servile face and charming bones, and she can't learn from rhetoric, which really makes her a modern person.
So after thinking about it, it is better to go, and you must not hang around in front of him and remind him that she was rude to him.
When Long Xi (Song Xi) went in, Zhu Xingyi just covered the body with a white cloth, and when he saw her come in, he hurriedly pointed to the door and motioned for her to wait there, and he came out quickly.
The left and right Longxi (Song Xi) didn't want to face the corpse, so they simply stood by the door and waited.
After Zhu Xingyi packed up his things, he washed his hands with water and soap horn before walking towards Longxi (Song Xi).
Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) was holding the record and watching it intently, and from time to time he pulled Sun Cheng to ask about the meaning of those terms, and he didn't pay attention to the movements of the two at all.
Long Xi (Song Xi) saw it in his eyes, knowing that he was interested in the autopsy industry, and thought that it would be good for him to learn from Zhu Xingyi, so he thought about finding an opportunity to talk to Zhu Xingyi about it.
"Yanlan, I'm sure this person didn't hang himself, but how he died, I still can't figure it out. Zhu Xingyi's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression was solemn. He asked himself that although the autopsy technique was not unparalleled in the world, he also had a slight experience, and it was rare to have such a clueless situation as this time.
The cause of death is nothing more than the action of internal forces, external forces, or a combination of internal and external forces. Long Xi (Song Xi) asked inexplicably, "Does he have suspicious fatal injuries on his body, if not, see if he has a chronic disease, and if not, see if he is poisoned." He is alive and alone, so he won't suddenly lose his breath. ”
"He suffocated to death, but how he suffocated, I can't find out. ”
"Well, isn't it because of that scar? Although it is said that the traces of self-hanging are not handed over, it does not mean that the traces of self-hanging are all self-hanging, just like if I strangled you to death through the trunk of a tree, the rope marks will not intersect. Long Xi (Song Xi) gestured with his hand and was not happy, and also rested his hand on Zhu Xingyi's neck and made a neck pinching motion.
The soft and smooth five fingers on his neck made Zhu Xingyi very embarrassed, and after he coughed, he said slowly: "Yanlan, your hand is ......"
Long Xi (Song Xi) realized his out-of-character behavior, hurriedly withdrew his hand, and laughed with him: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to it, Ziwei, you are more tolerant." ”
This is not modern, it is really inappropriate for a woman to put her hand on a man's neck, she forgot about this stubble on a whim.
"No problem, let's move on to the case. Zhu Xingyi's cultivation is very good, just smiled and revealed the matter, although his heart was still turbulent, but his face was still clear and clear, "It's not that I haven't considered your doubts, but because the instinctive reaction of people when suffocating is to struggle, there will definitely be abrasions and even bruises on the body." If you strangle through an object, there will inevitably be a scar on the back of the head, but I have checked it and there is nothing abnormal. That's why I said, I don't know how he choked. ”
"I remember you said there were sawdust in the fingernails of the deceased?"
"Yes, but the officials said that they had searched the deceased's room and found no damage to the wooden furniture in the room. ”
"Could it be that the room is not the scene of the first crime?" Long Xi (Song Xi) made his guess.
This situation was very common in later generations, and it was customary for the murderer to move the body to another place, either in order to falsify alibi evidence or to blame others. Since Wang Fulai is the person who was launched by the murderer in order to divert the attention of the government, it is normal to kill people and remove corpses.
Zhu Xingyi had also thought about this problem, but if this was the case, he would need to dispatch a large number of officials to find the real place of death of the deceased, but he only reviewed the autopsy according to the rules, and had no right to transfer the officials of Chaoyun County.
Unless King Jia can come forward in person, but he came here incognito all the way, he must not want others to find out his true identity, so he will definitely not help them.
The only way to do this is to let Mo Kunlun come and visit the county guard of Chaoyun County to seek his support.
Zhu Xingyi hurriedly wrote a letter to the official who accompanied him, asking him to find a post station and send it back to Juxin County, and then returned to Chenfu with Long Xi (Song Xi) and Zhao Kaizhi (Mo Kun) to survey the fire scene. Zhao Kuo heard that they had such a plan, so he was naturally willing to accompany them.
So the group returned to the Chen Mansion in a mighty way, and at this time Wei Chijing had already returned to the Yamen for the record, and only the Chen family servants were left in the mansion.
Along the way, Long Xi (Song Xi) told Zhu Xingyi in detail about his experience after coming to Chaoyun County, including his reasoning and speculation about the case. To her surprise, Zhu Xingyi also agreed with her point of view and felt that Chen Shengxiao was very suspicious, but this was only intuitive, and he couldn't deduce any strong evidence and suspicious points.
Zhao Kuo was speechless all the way, just listening carefully to Long Xi (Song Xi)'s words, and then matching her reasoning with what she thought one by one, finding out the differences between the two, thinking about whether she could start from the differences of opinion to solve one case after another.
He has been away from Beijing for a long time, and he can't delay any longer, the water thieves in the east are becoming more and more rampant, he must solve this case as soon as possible, and then deal with the problem of water thieves.
The house that caught fire had been almost disposed of, and only the blackened ruins stood in place, silently stating the horror of the fire in the afterglow of the setting sun.
A few servants passed by, but no one looked at the place, they all hurried to set up the mourning hall.
Chen Shengxiao is bedridden, so everything in the house is currently handled by the housekeeper Uncle Chen. Mrs. Chen had to be buried, but the two sons of the Chen family were doing business outside, and he began to handle Mrs. Chen's funeral after he asked people to bring letters to the two young masters.
In terms of on-site investigation, Zhu Xingyi was obviously not as handy as he was in the autopsy, and he didn't see anything unusual when he went in and out of the fire several times.
He wanted to go and see Mrs. Chen's body, but he also knew that the people of the Chen Mansion would definitely not agree to his proposal. Long Xi (Song Xi) wanted to see Chen Shengxiao, but he was also stopped by the housekeeper, only saying that he was weak now and had no way to answer her questions, and asked her to talk about it in a few days.
Several people stood by the rubble and looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.
"When we first met Chen Shengxi, I said a word, I don't know if Miss Song is still impressed. Seeing that none of them spoke, Zhao Kuo planned to tell them some more information to see if they could sort it out.
"What words?" Long Xi (Song Xi) looked up suddenly, looking puzzled. Although she didn't want to save the prince's face like this, if she didn't remember, she didn't remember, what could she do!
I asked him if the incense was burning, and said that an old man liked it too. Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"Could it be that the old man is also one of the robbers?" Long Xi (Song Xi) was very happy and immediately understood what he meant.
Zhao Kuo nodded, with a soothing smile: "You can say that, but in fact, this old man doesn't exist at all." ”
"Didn't someone smell this scent on the robbers during the fight?" asked Zhu Xingyi.
"Brother Ziwei is right. Imagine that since the robbers were going to rob the treasury silver, how could they bathe and burn incense first, let alone wear their usual clothes. But even so, if you can still smell this fragrance on your body, it must be a long-term use, and the fragrance has invaded the body. That's why I was so old people liked it at the time. ”
"That means Chen Shengxiao could also be one of the robbers?" asked Long Xi (Song Xi) happily.
She has always doubted Chen Shengxiao's identity, but because there is no evidence, and the Chen family has suffered this catastrophe, she always feels that it has an indirect relationship with herself, so she no longer dares to affirm her suspicions. But with Zhu Xingyi's reconsideration first, and now with Zhao Kuo's addition, she has confidence in her guess again.
