Chapter 700: Investigation of the case
Shen Qiu was going around the room to check the traces, at this time he heard Bailifeng's voice, turned his head to look at him, and hurriedly walked over, he squatted down next to the corpse, and looked at the position indicated by Bailifeng, only to see a circle of bruises on the corpse's neck. He pressed it with his hand, then tilted his head to look at the marks on either side.
"It's a bruise from the rope, but the marks vary in severity." Shen Qiu said, frowning, he looked up at the rope on the table that had just been removed from the beam, got up and took it, and made a circle around the corpse's neck.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, look. This is the bruise that came out of this rope. He pointed to a bruise that matched the rope, and then looked at the mark underneath the rope bruise, "As for the mark below that is deeper than the one above, it should be a fatal wound." ”
Seeing that he was analyzing, Bai Lifeng nodded and said, "I looked at the things in the room just now, and there was hot porridge on his table, which means that she was eating before." How can a person who is ready to commit suicide still be in the mood to eat? ”
"So, it's murder." Shen Qiu said, glanced at him, and saw that Bailifeng also meant the same thing, so he was a little puzzled, "Then this is strange, how did the murderer know that there would be people in the palace at this point, and arrange the scene before the palace people came." ”
The best explanation is that the man was in the palace. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is still the most suspicious of the Crown Princess, what do you think? Shen Qiu's meaning was obvious, he just didn't believe Su Nianyi.
"General Shen's speculation is indeed good, but we still have to pay attention to evidence. At that time, the crown princess was among us, and it was impossible for her to pass on the news in full view. Bai Lifeng said, glancing over the corpse, and saw a hair on the corpse's clothes, and then he found some blood stains in the corpse's nails, "It looks like he caught the flesh on the other party's body before he was killed." ”
"That's not enough to support us in finding the killer." Shen Qiu said, a little difficult.
"You see there aren't many signs of shivering in this room, even the pigs on the table are still warm, and they haven't sprinkled them. What does this mean? Or under what circumstances do you think a person would be killed so unsuspectingly? Bai Lifeng asked and stood up.
"An acquaintance committing a crime?" Shen Qiu was not as simple-minded and well-developed as Su Nianyi said, at least after his mention, he knew this, Bai Lifeng nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that some people's claws still reach the territory of the main palace." The crown prince was not very sure, but he knew that after the queen had tripped and fallen, an invisible hand was secretly watching them. This time he is bound to be exposed.
"What's next?" Shen Qiu felt that there was no need to stay here any longer, so he got up and looked at him. Bai Lifeng was the first to go out and said, "Now go back and rest first." ”
Shen Qiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then he had to ask something, Bailifeng had already gone away. He had no choice but to go back first.
At the same time, Su Nianyi was locked in a prison, and from time to time rats would crawl by, and she was startled at first. When I got to the back, I was really bored, so I simply looked at the mouse and started chatting.
"Little mouse. You say you're so cute. Why do you keep running to this kind of place, this place is dirty and smelly, don't you feel uncomfortable? Su Nianyi squatted on the ground, trying to get herself as close as possible to the little mouse. The rat watched her come over, and at first he was so frightened that he hid in the hole, but then he became bold and gnawed on the cold steamed bun in front of her.
Seeing that the little mouse didn't react at all, Su Nianyi smiled, "These days, it's really rare, and even the mouse is not afraid of people." Hehe. She laughed at herself, and she didn't know what she was sighing about.
Suddenly, I heard a joke coming from outside the cell, "The crown princess is really leisurely and elegant, and she has started to talk to the mouse at this time, which is really impressive." ”
When Su Nianyi heard this, she looked up in the direction where the voice came from with some confusion, it was dark and there was no light, and she knew that a bright palace dress appeared in front of her, and she could see it, "Concubine Wan?" Su Nianyi shouted with some uncertainty.
Mingyue walked in from the shadows, her face was pure, as if the playful tone she heard just now was not what she said, "When I was taking a nap in the palace today, I heard the palace maid talking about the princess being locked up here, so I came to take a look." I brought you a lot of pastries, eat them while they're hot, and the things here are no better than the outside. I'm afraid that only rats and cockroaches can eat it. ”
What she said made people feel a little disconnected, but they couldn't find anything wrong with her. The key is to say it in a tone that cares about her.
Su Nianyi couldn't understand why she was sending something to herself, and she looked at this woman as if she was a little familiar, but she couldn't say where she was familiar.
"Thank you, Concubine Wan. This cell is dirty and smelly, but don't stain your eyes, let's go back to the palace. Su Nianyi took the things she handed over and said quietly.
Mingyue glanced at her, raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned to leave, and left a meaningful sentence before leaving, "I hope to see the crown princess come out safe and sound soon." ”
Seeing that she had disappeared at the end of the corridor, Su Nianyi opened the pastry, which was full of potpourri cakes, which were very fragrant and looked comfortable.
The rat was startled, and after hiding in the hole, it crawled out again, holding the pastry and began to nibble.
Waiting until it had eaten the pastries almost enough before returning to the cave satisfied, Su Nianyi was suspicious, she broke a little of each piece of pastry and put it at the door of the mouse hole, and saw that the mouse had eaten nothing, so she ate some.
And she also took the anti-poison pill given to her by Bailifeng before eating, and after eating some pastries, she felt fine, so she turned around and sat on the edge of the simple bed, "I don't know how they checked outside?" ”
Looking at the moon outside the cell, Su Nianyi suddenly felt very quiet, she was still quite unaccustomed to it, so she simply continued to play with the mouse, and accidentally stepped on its tail when she walked over, but she didn't say a word.
"Hey, good guys. It's pretty ......" Su Nianyi was just about to speak, and suddenly felt that her throat was numb, and she couldn't spit out a word, she was so frightened that she couldn't do it, and quickly opened her mouth to try to speak, but after all, nothing came out, and her brain was blank.
