Chapter 197: An arrow pierces the heart

"This ......" Rong Mingyi hesitated.

Dali Temple has its own rules for handling cases, and no information can be disclosed to the outside world until the truth is investigated, including the autopsy results of the deceased.

However, King Yan's identity is special, and Rong Mingyi wants to stop it but is worried that he can't stop it: "Lord Wang, your status is noble......

Without waiting for him to refute, Qi Xiao repeated: "Where is the corpse, this king has to go over and take a look." ”

Rong Mingyi sighed, and had to reluctantly agree: "Lord Wang, please." ”

The group then followed Rong Mingyi to the place where the body was parked, in a small room behind the Dali Temple, where the bodies of the deceased would be sent for autopsy before all the homicide cases were solved.

When they arrived, there were still several Dali Temple case-handling personnel standing at the door of the house, and they were conducting autopsies inside.

Qin Ran followed Qi Xiao and was just about to walk in, when Sprite pulled her behind her: "Miss, or let's not go in and take a look." ”

Qin Ran glanced back, she hadn't gone inside to see the corpse yet, Sprite's face was already frightened, if she really let her take a look, she would probably be stunned.

"I'm fine, I'll just go in and take a look, you just wait outside."

"Miss......"

Sprite pulled her and hesitated.

Qi Xiao noticed the actions of the two of them, and turned around to look: "She's right, you better don't go in, don't be scared for a while." ”

Qin Ran originally studied nursing, and when she was usually idle, she would go to see the senior brothers and sisters of the medical department to dissect corpses or something, she was really not so afraid.

"It's okay, if you can't be scared, I'll just go in and have a look." Qin Ran let go of Sprite's hand and walked straight into the house.

The inside of the room was used to store corpses, and after a long period of precipitation, it was filled with a strange smell.

Even though Qin Ran was mentally prepared, as soon as he entered the door, he was forced to take a few steps back by the smell.

Qi Xiao stood behind her and was forced to help her.

After that, a complicated expression appeared on his face: "If you're afraid, don't go in and look at it." ”

"I'm not afraid." Qin Ran covered his nose and took a light breath.

The cause of Zhao Wenxuan's death is unknown, and the murderer's whereabouts are unknown. As his good friend, Qi Xiao must be in a complicated mood at the moment, otherwise he would not have come to such a place regardless of his identity.

Qin Ran guessed that he must also want to find the murderer quickly, but as a friend, she can't help with anything now, and the only thing she can do is to go in and out with him.

Thinking of this, Qin Ran withdrew his arm from Qi Xiao's hand and said, "Let's go, go in and have a look." ”

The women of ordinary families, let alone going in to see the corpse, probably didn't dare to take a step closer when they heard that there were dead people inside, but Qin Ran was like a person who was fine, not only did she not have the slightest fear on her face, but rushed ahead first.

Qi Xiao looked at her back and was stunned for a while, and a question sprouted in his heart.

But now was not the time to explore this, and realizing the purpose of his trip, he snapped back to his senses and strode in.

Zhao Wenxuan's body was parked in the house, and the autopsy had basically been completed.

Seeing a group of people coming in at the door, he hurriedly wiped his hands and quickly greeted him: "Slaves see King Yan, see Lord Rong." ”

"Excuse me." Qi Xiao glanced in the direction of Zhao Wenxuan's corpse and asked, "Are the autopsy results out, how are they?" ”

"Back to the prince, there is already a preliminary judgment."

He was a man who was nearly fifty years old, and he bowed to several people, and said respectfully: "Zhao Gongzi has two arrow wounds all over his body, one on the chest and one on the abdomen, judging from the shape of the arrow and the wound, it should be a crossbow wound." ”

This corroborates Rong Mingyi's previous speculation: "When I received the report this morning, I went to check the scene, and there was no trace of a fight at the scene, the murderer should be ambushed nearby, and after Zhao Wenxuan returned, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to hurt people." ”

After Rong Mingyi finished speaking, he picked up a crossbow arrow placed on the table and handed it to Qi Xiao: "Lord Wang, please see, this is the murder weapon." ”

Qi Xiao took it and put it in his hand and looked at it a few times, and asked, "Can you find out where this arrow came from?" ”

Rong Mingyi shook his head: "Our country strictly prohibits the private manufacture of weapons, so all weapons will be marked with the source on them after they are created. The arrow has a smooth body and is no different in shape from an arrow made by the government, but the body is not marked with a provenance. Forgive the incompetence of the officials, and it is not possible to find its source for the time being. ”

Qi Xiao actually noticed this when he inspected this arrow just now, and couldn't help but sigh.

While the two were talking, Qin Ran walked to the side of the corpse, and just wanted to open the white cloth on the corpse, when he was suddenly stopped by a soldier present: "Girl, the body of the deceased is important physical evidence, please don't look at it at will." ”

Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and glanced at the man: "I'll just open it and take a look, it won't move." ”

"Qin Ran." Qi Xiao noticed the move here and hurriedly walked over: "What happened?" ”

Qin Ran took a light breath: "I want to see Zhao Wenxuan's corpse." ”

Qi Xiao frowned: "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid, but he is your friend and my friend, and now he died suddenly, don't you want to find out the truth about his death quickly?" Qin Ran said.

Qi Xiao paused for a moment, seeing that her expression was faint, there was no fear on her face, she squinted her eyes hesitantly, and said, "You still know how to investigate cases?" ”

Qin Ran pursed his lips and said with a serious expression: "I don't understand, but generally corpses will leave some clues or traces, take a closer look, there will be no mistake, right?" ”

Qi Xiao was still hesitating, but Rong Mingyi came over first: "It's okay, show her." ”

Only then did he come over and lift the white cloth.

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, the moment he saw Zhao Wenxuan's corpse with his own eyes, Qin Ran was still stunned by the scene in front of him.

As he said, there was an arrow hole in Zhao Wenxuan's chest and abdomen, and other than that, he couldn't see the rest of the small injuries. Obviously, the fatal wound was in the chest, he had never fought anyone before he died, and he didn't struggle too much, and one arrow was fatal.

Just as he was leaving, Rong Mingyi asked, "Miss Qin, have you found anything?" ”

"Nope." Qin Ran shook his head, and his eyes staggered to Qi Xiao's face: "It should be two arrows fired at the same time, the arrow in the chest is fatal, and Zhao Wenxuan should not have too much pain before he dies." ”

An arrow piercing the heart, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune for the deceased?

Qi Xiao naturally saw these things as well, but when he heard Qin Ran say it from his mouth, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

So, was she comforting him?

Rong Mingyi quickly re-covered Zhao Wenxuan's body, and then said to a few people: "Lord Wang, Miss Qin, why don't we go outside to chat." ”
