Chapter 57: Gu Qingxun helps
Lu Yixin heard Imperial Doctor Hu's reluctance and resentment, she paused, after all, Lu Yixin was not a doctor, let alone a fool, and her words were probably the most authoritatively and notarized.
The glass lamp illuminated the upper part of Lin Zhen's corpse thoroughly, and there were a few dark red spots on the waist close to the ground, which looked like a backlog of bruises, Lu Yixuan didn't answer, reached out and gently touched the place where the blood clotted, and the slight coldness of her fingertips made her realize that there were still some water stains on Lin Zhen's skin, maybe the dew soaked through the clothes and remained on it.
"In any case, Lu Zhongsi is a murder suspect, and there is no reason to let it go, what do you think, little prince." Qin Zhengke didn't care what the cause of death and what corpse these people were arguing about, he leaned over to ask Feng Mingxie's opinion.
"Lord Qin, you are a murder suspect when you open your mouth and close your mouth, if according to what Imperial Doctor Hu said, all the people who came and went to the East Academy in the past six hours should be suspects, why don't you arrest them together?" Lu Yixuan replied very quickly, she was sensitive, especially good at refuting the other party, and at this time, she had no intention of examining any corpses.
"Reasonable," the man on the chair finally spoke, his voice was not cold, but warm and soft, like peach blossoms blooming in a spring night, "The little eunuch who found the body is also a suspect, go, give this king all the masters, highnesses, bachelors, miscellaneous servants, palace laves, and eunuchs who have stepped into the East Academy within six hours, no, seven hours, and send them to Dali Temple, and say, Lord Qin questioned them as murderers." β
Feng Ming talked and laughed and poured a fire on it.
"Little Prince!" Qin Zheng shouted in a deep voice.
That's right, Feng Xiaowang likes to force people to jump over the wall and be speechless, seemingly unreasonable, but the words are on the joints, and you can't move when you bend your backbone.
"Lord Qin, don't worry, people always have to take them one by one." Feng Mingxie smiled and comforted you with the opposite taste.
Qin Zheng gritted his teeth and brushed his sleeves.
Imperial Physician Hu saw that his head hurt, and there was a dead man lying on the ground, and he couldn't get rid of it, but he didn't dare to offend anyone, so he hurriedly said: "Little prince, don't work so hard, since Deputy Envoy Lu has doubts about the old man, then, please ask Deputy Envoy Lu to recommend a trustworthy person." Hu Liangtai saw it, and said that the little girl of the Lu family was a thorn in the head, and she was very wary of everyone, and now that it was involved in the life and death of her eldest brother, she couldn't let go of half of her heart.
Lu Yixuan blurted out: "Mr. Gu Qingxun." β
Feng Mingxie's eyes narrowed.
"Okay," Hu Liangtai responded, even more because of a sense of spirit, "Mr. Gu is just in the Xia Palace with the old man, I'm afraid that I haven't left the palace gate yet, go, please Mr. Gu come to the East Academy." β
Gu Qingxun was really at a loss, the sedan chair stopped people before he even came out of the first palace gate, and drove all the way to the East Academy, and now there are more and more people crowded, and then he saw Lu Yixun's slightly anxious face, and then he learned that the beginning and the end had passed.
Of course, Gu Qingxun didn't dare to slack off: "Imperial Physician Hu's initial break was about six hours and died from internal injuries, it doesn't seem to be a problem, it's just ......" He beckoned to Hu Liangtai, Imperial Physician Hu hurriedly squeezed over, and the two looked at each other at the small blood-red spots that slowly settled on the waist of the corpse, "If this is not a small bruise formed by a serious injury, but a corpse spot-"
Hu Liangtai lifted the clothes of Lin Zhen's corpse, and traced all the way to the vicinity of the vertebrae along the bruises that seemed to have been beaten: "The corpse spots have moved. When he came to this conclusion, his face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned the corpse over, and the wound in his abdomen was impressively presented in front of everyone's eyes, "This wound is not a sharp weapon, not a knife or gun, but it seems to be a temporary idea." "The skin of the breach is pitted and ravine-like.
"In this way, this is not a scene of dumping, but rather a fake crime point." Feng Mingxie seemed to be a little interested.
Gu Qingxun nodded: "Back to the little prince, this is not the first scene, the murderer is likely to move the body here and then disembowel, in order to misjudge the location and delay time." "The grass and trees are deep, since it is not to hide the intention of killing, then why did the body move here?
"If the body is moved, there will not be only such a clue." Hu Liangtai hurriedly brought the lamp close to the corpse.
"Dew." Lu Yixuan suddenly spoke, "There was dew on the corpse, maybe it wasn't dew," The dew for a short time would only adhere to the surface of the clothes, but she had touched it when the corpse had just removed the clothes, and Lin Zhen's skin was also stained with small water stains, so she didn't care about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, it's very weird, "It's cold." β
"Cold?" Gu Qingxun was stunned for a moment, and some thoughts came to his mind, "If the cold causes a misjudgment of the stiffness of the corpse, it is not impossible," he paced two steps thoughtfully, and his palms were startled, "Ice cellar." β
Ice cellar for corpses.
As soon as these words came out, Qin Zheng also reacted: "There is an abandoned ice cellar at the end of the west corridor of the East Academy, which was originally reserved for His Royal Highness in the summer. β
"Well, let's go and have a look." The willows were dark, Feng Mingxie stood up, and everyone didn't dare to follow lazily.
When the group approached the end of the west corridor, they saw that there were beaded hairpins and fine pieces of silver scattered all over the ground, and the footprints were messy and muddy, as if it was a scene of brawls and robberies.
The iron cables of the ice cellar had been broken, and the door was ajar.
It can be seen that there has been a fierce battle here but it is not too messy, the speed of the attacker is fast and steady and extremely heavy, Lin Zhen is not "his" opponent and quickly lost, which is consistent with the preliminary autopsy results.
"It looks like you're looking for money." Someone secretly said, everyone's eyes subconsciously skimmed over Lu Zhonghe, without him, the eldest young master of the Lu family has always loved money like life, and once went bankrupt to gamble, but now that such a case has happened, the first person to suspect is of course him.
"Don't, don't look at me, I didn't kill Lord Lin." Even if Lu Zhongsi was beaten by ruffians and hooligans all over the street to collect debts, he didn't feel humiliated, but at this moment, he was extremely aggrieved, because of his past mistakes, everyone took him for granted as a despicable murderer.
"It's like seeing money, but it's not Lu Zhonghe." The man standing at the end tilted his head, kicking the jade* beads that fell to the ground at his feet, shining brightly in the moonlight and lights, "Lin Zhen did not die of heavy bleeding from the abdominal wound, and the scene of the crime was in the ice cellar, Mr. Gu, judging from the traces of heavy injuries on the deceased's body, there was a fierce fight, how should you infer the time of death in your opinion?" β
Gu Qingxun hurriedly handed over his hand: "The place of the deceased's death and the struggle before death caused it to accelerate the stiffness of the corpse after the death, and the time of death was easy to be delayed. β
Feng Mingxie said "oh", as if he was saying something inconsequential lightly: "That means that if Lin Zhen has an accident, it should be from Shen Shi to Youshi, not six hours." Only then did he look at Lu Zhongsi, "At that time, where were you doing?" β
Lu Zhongsi's body stiffened but trembled, it was a kind of excitement that grabbed the life-saving grass, and he kowtowed to Feng Mingxi: "Back to the little prince, at that time, Master Zeng sent me to the palace of the little highnesses to send the "Yu Ning Excerpts", all the little highnesses and the old masters can and can testify!" β
He was busy running around the palaces, so naturally many palace eunuchs had seen Lu Zhonghe.
Lu Yixuan was also overjoyed when he heard this: "So, my eldest brother can clear his suspicion?" β
Feng Mingxie nodded: "As long as Master Zeng and your little highnesses testify, and then the cause and time of death are verified by the Dali Temple, it is naturally justified." β
Lu Zhongsi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty, and suddenly the whole person collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up, the hot sweat all over his body was blown by the night wind and the cold stinging blood veins.
"Little Wangye, I am willing to assist the Tai Hospital and Dali Temple." Gu Qingxun saw that Lu Yixuan's tense expression finally became a little relaxed, and turned to Feng Mingxie to ask, after all, he was involved, this matter was related to Lu Zhonghe's safety, and he hoped that Lu Yixuan could feel at ease.
"If there are still people in this East Academy who are interested in making money, wouldn't it be a blasphemy of the grace of the protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, little prince, this official is willing to take on this case and find out." Although Qin Zheng seemed to be pretentious and high-minded in the book, he was now filled with righteous indignation.
Lu Yixin had already stepped in front of Qin Zheng: "No, this case risked the reputation of my Lu family and the life of my eldest brother, little prince, the courtiers implore me to entrust this case to Lu Yixuan." β
It's not that she wants to go against Qin Zheng or be embarrassed, but that Lord Qin has ill intentions at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and he just wants to put Lu Zhongsi in prison, although this case has nothing to do with the Lu family now, but it is guaranteed to be handed over to Qin Zheng and Dali Temple, but he changed his rhetoric and asked someone to steal the beam and change the pillar-
Her caution towards Qin Zheng has never diminished.
Feng Ming didn't think about it, he turned his back and waved his hand: "Deputy Envoy Lu, you should avoid this case, and you will bother Lord Qin, Mr. Gu and Dali Temple to work together." β
"Yes." Qin Zheng led the order to squint at Lu Yixuan and take the corpse away, Gu Qingxun shook his head at Lu Yixuan, signaling her not to embarrass Feng Mingxi, the words of the little prince are indeed reasonable.
As for Lu Zhonghei, naturally he has to make a superficial record with him, and he has to find someone to testify.
Soon, the pot dispersed.
"Why is the little prince like this?" Lu Yixuan didn't leave, she could hold her stomach, so she endured it and endured it.
Lu Yixin didn't have a good tone.
"How?" Feng Mingxie retreated before he was about to take a step, and he could see the girl's tense face under the lantern.
"Qin Zheng has prejudices against my Lu family, and he handed over the case to him, if he is selfish, how can the truth be revealed one day." Lu Yixuan said indignantly.
"The truth?" Feng Mingxie turned his head, and there was a sparse moonlight in his eyes, like a sleepless starlight in the sky, "Do you Lu Yixuan care about the truth, are you angry or annoyed, it has nothing to do with you who killed Lin Zhen, you are just worried that Lu Zhongji will not escape responsibility." β
