Gu Huai'an vaguely felt that this time the matter was not so simple, there were too many candidates involved, and some of them died, and they did things openly on weekdays, I may have offended those candidates who offended people, in case someone really looked at them unpleasantly, and you killed them, it would be difficult for you to deal with the next situation.

After all, according to the invigilator, the candidates in these schools are quite powerful in their families, and they don't know whether they are officials or businessmen.

Gu Huai'an, who was looking at the examiner in front of him, was very serious about this matter, and he also knew that he couldn't get out of it if someone died at this time, so he quickly gathered all the candidates and didn't let anyone who was suspected escape.

"It's not fair, none of them live in the place arranged by the examiner, but we, the children of poor families, have always lived in the place arranged by the examiner, and there is no chance to go out at all, and there is no chance to contact people outside."

When one of the scholars was imprisoned, he seemed to be a little indignant, but it was actually right, whoever was locked up inexplicably like this must have resentment in his heart, but ......

Gu Huaian always felt that people who came out rashly at this time, if they didn't really have a bad personality on weekdays, they were likely to be thieves, so they would be in a hurry to excuse themselves.

"I will investigate the truth as soon as possible, but none of you can leave now, because among those who died, there were people who offended you, and in order to ensure that this matter can be resolved smoothly, you must stay here and wait until the matter is investigated before making a decision."

Gu Huai'an is relatively humane, allowing these candidates to stay in a fixed place with the materials they review, he doesn't want things that hurt people's lives to happen again, so he also sent troops to protect them.

It's just that I don't know how long this situation will last, because I can't find any clues except for the bodies of those people.

As a doctor, Gu Huai'an naturally had to check the body of the deceased immediately, but these people seemed to have been beaten to death, and there were no special traces on the wounds, but although it was torture, the deceased did not seem to have any traces of resistance, which made Gu Huai'an feel very strange.

"All the information of these official children is here, does Lord Gu need anything else besides these?"

At this time, the invigilator changed his words, from the former wealthy family to the children of the official family, Gu Huai'an also noticed this very carefully, it seems that his previous thoughts were really not wrong, these dead people all have a certain background in the family.

After Gu Huai'an took over the file, he looked at it carefully, only to find that these people all had one thing in common, that is, they had practiced martial arts since childhood.

Would a person who has practiced martial arts since childhood be beaten to death by someone like this?

Lonely Ring, a halfway monk, will not be unresponsive when he is beaten, people like them who have practiced martial arts since childhood, should have a more vigilant reaction to the situation around them, how can this be?

"Have the families of the deceased been contacted? What can they say. ”

Gu Huai'an's official position is quite embarrassing in the imperial court, so if the family background of these children of the official family is indeed higher than his own, it will definitely be difficult to deal with this matter at that time.

"All the adults have already come, but the lower officials have temporarily stabilized their emotions, and the adults can investigate the case first."

The invigilator is quite reasonable, now after all, he is investigating the case, although he has made some effort, but he still succeeded in comforting the families of the deceased, wanting to calm their mood temporarily, at least he will not put pressure on Gu Huaian at this time.

"Several of them have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and if they are more vigilant, they should be stronger than ordinary people, but they can't see any traces of fighting on their bodies, and even they are like being beaten unilaterally."

Gu Huai'an told the people in front of him what he had discovered, it stands to reason that such a situation should not happen, but it is so weird, any abnormality is very suspicious, so they must investigate this matter clearly.

If a person who is usually very vigilant is beaten like this without the slightest room to fight back, or even killed, there are only a few possibilities for me, or he was drugged, or he was drunk by someone, or he could only be hypnotized by someone, and there was no way to move his hands and feet.

In the past, Gu Huai'an probably wouldn't believe such a thing, but this time, he had witnessed the incident where Shen Qianshan couldn't control his behavior before.

Gu Huaian absolutely believes that some people can control people's thinking and make people do something completely different from usual, but are there really so many people who have such skills? The hypnotist from last time was still locked up in the dungeon of the palace by Shen Qianshan.

"With their consent, I want an autopsy."

After all, this was an accident that happened during the imperial examination, and the identities of these people were relatively special, so the government did not dare to send a servant to dissect the corpse, if Gu Huai'an did not speak, I am afraid that no one would dare to do this at all.

But even if it is like this, I am afraid that it is still difficult for the other party to accept it, and the autopsy of their dead relatives is just to investigate the truth of the matter.

So I'm afraid this matter will have to wait for Gu Hui'an to come forward in person.

"Forget it, it's a little too difficult for you, so I'll do it myself."

I just don't know what kind of officials are in the homes of these dead candidates, and after reading it, they don't seem to think it's too big, but why is the look on the invigilator's face not very good?

Gu Huai'an walked into the living room, which was already covered with white cloth, and the relatives of the deceased had already arrived.

Gu Huai'an really didn't guess wrong, these people in front of him are all not small, although their official positions are not high, but they have the lifeblood of the entire Bei'an Kingdom.

"Master Gu, when will we be able to investigate the truth and give my child justice?"

Gu Huai'an knew from just now that the identities of these people in front of him were not ordinary, but he didn't expect it to be a few of them.

"Lord Zheng, I also feel very sorry about your son-in-law's matter, but this is not the situation we want to see, if we can, we hope to get some clues about the case through the body of Ling Gongzi, so this time I am here to obtain your consent."

No matter who he is interested in, I am afraid that he will not agree to such a thing so easily, and Gu Huaian is also ready to be rejected by the other party.

Sure enough, the other party immediately turned his face.

This Zheng Ye, in fact, has some relationship with Gu Huai'an, after all, Gu Huai'an is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and there are a lot of things underneath, in fact, Zheng Ye has been arranging, and in fact, he is also one of the officials who invigilated the exam, and it is not easy for his own son to be able to sit calmly here when something like this happens.

"Master Gu, the official knows that you are still young and may not understand what it feels like this, but after all, it is my son, and I can't let him suffer this kind of treatment after he dies, so the official can't agree to this matter."

Judging from this Zheng Ye, in fact, his son should not be the kind of arrogant and domineering person, at most, there will be some pampering, Gu Huaian and Zheng Ye have never heard any bad comments about his son in the years they have been together.

I'm afraid it's not that easy.

No matter how much Gu Huai'an is praised by others as a miracle doctor, it is impossible to thoroughly investigate the cause of death of the deceased without touching the corpse, so Gu Huai'an has to find a way to take a look at those corpses no matter what, not only from a distance, but at least to prove whether they were poisoned before they were killed.

So this time, Gu Huai'an decided to take a risk and go to the morgue in the yamen at night to take a look at the corpses.

The fathers of these deceased also made it clear that they were unwilling to let Gu Huai'an do anything to their son, and there was no progress in making Huai'an's persuasion, so they could only decide to investigate him by themselves.

In the palace, Gu Yan had just walked out of Shen Qiangrose's courtyard, and bumped into an unfamiliar face, originally thinking that it was just someone she was not familiar with and was about to bow her head and walk over, but she didn't expect the other party to stop her.

"Eh, who are you?"

Gu Yan rarely saw unfamiliar faces in the palace, and the person in front of her seemed to be dressed like a county lord or something, but she had never seen it before, could it be a princess of a foreign race?

If it is really a foreign princess, is it a bit too much to appear so rampantly in the palace of Bei'an?

"Dare to ask your Excellency ......"

Your previous name still looked very lively, looking at Gu Yan with an unfamiliar face in front of you, she stood in front of him very happily and introduced herself, "I'm a princess, now I ask you two questions, you have to answer truthfully." ”

Gu Yan must have guessed in her heart that the person in front of her was a princess of a foreign race, because she had never seen it, but looking at him like this, she didn't seem to be an outsider, which made Gu Yan really feel that it was difficult to understand and judge.

"It turns out that Her Royal Highness the princess has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, if you have any questions, please ask, the little one must know everything."

Gu Yan didn't want to provoke anyone who did anything good, even if the person in front of her was a princess of a foreign race, if she could stay away, she naturally had to keep her distance.
