Chapter 109: Throwing into the Well
Qin Changqi and Zhang Hongtao talked about some things again before going back with Cheng Ge. After the two of them went back, they didn't say anything else, so they put their clothes together and went to sleep.
In the early morning, Cheng Ge was woken up by a loud noise, she was already angry to get up, but at this time she felt even more irritable, and she couldn't wait to kick Qin Changqi next to her out of bed. Seeing that her face was not good, Qin Changqi hurriedly got up and asked what was going on outside.
"Back to the prince's words, Sister Xiaohuan committed suicide by throwing herself into the well." The maid outside was a little flustered in her words, thinking that this maid named Xiaohuan had a very good relationship with her.
When Cheng Ge heard the name "Xiaohuan", she immediately sat up, the maid who massaged her yesterday was called Xiaohuan, is it the same person? After glancing at Qin Changqi, the two hurriedly dressed and washed and went to the scene of the crime. Bai Zixiu was already next to the well, surrounded by a group of maid guards from afar, talking in a low voice.
Next to Bai Zixiu stood a pretending person, who was carefully checking the situation of the corpse, and what was written while looking at the person next to him. Seeing that Cheng Ge and Qin Changqi were coming, they hurriedly saluted.
"What's going on?" Qin Changqi asked with a frown.
Cheng Ge looked at the female corpse lying on the ground, it was clear that it was the maid who massaged herself yesterday, and yesterday she said that she would bring him Yingzi powder, why did she die today?
"Back to the prince's words, today the two family members are going to come here to fetch water and water the flowers, but I didn't expect to see her." Bai Zixiu arched his hand and said, his brows furrowed, and there seemed to be some sadness on his face.
"What was the cause of her death?" Cheng Ge asked while covering her nose, although the corpse had only been soaked overnight, Cheng Ge was studying medicine after all, and her nose was more sensitive than ordinary people, and she had already smelled the smell of this maid.
"Judging from the results of the examination so far, she was strangled to death and thrown into the well." Seeing Bai Zixiu give him a look, the servant next to him hurriedly said, "It's just that further inspection is needed to be sure." ”
"Where did you see that you were strangled and then thrown into the well?" Qin Changqi was very sure when he heard this, although he said that he needed further inspection, but in fact, he had already determined that it was this, otherwise he would not have said it directly in front of them.
"If you go back to the prince, there is no mushroom-like foam in the mouth and nose of the deceased, so it can be judged that it was thrown into the well after death." said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and seemed to be used to this situation.
"If that's the case, then she should have been killed!" Cheng Ge said categorically, but I don't know who killed her.
In order not to cause everyone's panic, it was unanimously claimed that the maid had fallen into the well and drowned, so that the black hand behind the scenes could reappear. Cheng Ge decided to send someone to keep an eye on it, hoping that there was something in this maid's room that those people wanted.
Cheng Ge sent a few guards they had brought from the capital and quietly ambushed the maid's room.
As soon as the third watch passed, I saw a few black-clothed people jumping out of somewhere and sneaking into the maid's room quietly. Cheng Ge could be regarded as waiting for them, and with a wave of his hand, their guards also quietly surrounded them. These men in black don't know if it's the so-called dead soldiers, and if they haven't said anything, it's not good for them to bite their tongues and kill themselves.
These black-clothed people don't know if they are the black-clothed people at the bottom, they are simply stupid to death, they probably didn't find anything, and they didn't even observe, so they ran out rashly. As soon as they came out, they were surrounded by the guards, and in order to prevent them from biting their tongues and committing suicide, they were sprinkled with ** by the guards as soon as they came out.
"Alright, check if they have any drugs in their mouths, and then tie them up." Cheng Ge hurriedly commanded the guards, although he had no real experience, but he would have some understanding before, the guards were stunned for a moment, and then tied up these black-clothed people.
It is better to hand over this kind of matter of interrogation to Qin Changqi, and each performs his own duties.
Cheng Ge asked all the guards who participated in the arrest at night to go to sleep, and then changed the guards to follow Qin Changqi to the dungeon for interrogation. Qin Changqi is still good at these things, although he hasn't interrogated others without scruples like this for a long time, he is still quite interested.
When the man in black woke up, he felt that his back molars had been removed, and his mouth was numb and crispy, and he couldn't use his strength at all, so he knew that it would be difficult for them to kill themselves. Looking at Qin Changqi in front of him, the black-clothed man led by him only felt a cold air pressing towards him, and his heart was furious.
"Tell me, who instructed you? Why did you kill that little maid? Qin Changqi casually took the soldering iron in his hand, the soldering iron had been burned red, and it seemed that as long as it touched the skin, it would burn off a layer of skin.
But how could these men in black be afraid of a tiny soldering iron? They gritted their teeth and refused to speak, expecting that if Qin Changqi couldn't ask anything, there was nothing they could do, and the big deal was death.
"Do you think you won't be able to find out if you don't say this king?" The corners of Qin Changqi's mouth hooked, a dangerous light burst out of his eyes, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and there was a natural domineering spirit between his gestures, "This king has a trick to make you speak, and then this king will not be so easy to speak." ”
The man in black hadn't seen Qin Changqi before, and he didn't know what kind of tricks he would use, but he just blindly refused to speak.
"I really don't cry when I don't see the coffin." Qin Changqi pretended to shake his head helplessly, beckoned outside, and the guard walked in with a sheep in his hand, still carrying a can of something. Seeing that the man in black who was the leader was put down, took off his boots, smeared honey on the soles of his feet, and then led the sheep in front of him, the sheep began to eat honey, and the man in black couldn't help laughing. The other men in black were very puzzled, and they didn't know what kind of punishment this was?
But they soon found that the man in black couldn't stop laughing, and some of his eyes were full of gold stars when he laughed, and he wanted to vomit, and the goat was still eating honey. The man in black at the head couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but say, "I recruited, I recruited." ”
Qin Changqi waved his hand, and the guard led the goat and retreated. The man in black led by him took a few deep breaths, and finally smoothed his breath, although he was still a little dizzy, but he just wanted to move quickly, and he really couldn't bear it.
"That little maid helped us poison Princess Chang'an a little, and we strangled her to death last night, but we were afraid that there was still evidence about us in her house, so we took the risk to find it today." The man in black at the head looked very sad, as if he was sorry that he hadn't found something.
"This little brother, I'm afraid you didn't tell the truth." Cheng Ge couldn't sleep a little, so he wanted to come down to see what the outcome of their interrogation was, but he didn't expect to hear this scene.
