Chapter 215: The True Cause of Death
In fact, before coming to the mansion, He Nianbing had persuaded Wan Bingyu not to see the corpse with her own eyes, as long as she came to the mansion to go through the motions, he could let him do other things, but Wan Bingyu insisted on seeing the corpse with her own eyes, and also said that she had helped the yamen investigate the case, and she could definitely help.
After He Nianbing repeatedly confirmed that the person in front of him was not afraid of the corpse, he took him to the morgue in the yamen.
At this time, outside the morgue, there were seven or eight officials in charge of guarding, and everyone had a yellow character on them, obviously frightened by what happened this morning.
Even Lord Yin Shen of Kyoto Prefecture had something wrong with his face, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.
When the group entered the morgue, they saw a person covered with a white cloth inside, presumably the body of Xu Gongzi.
An official trembled and lifted the white cloth, exposing the corpse to everyone's sight.
I saw that Xu Gongzi's face was blue and black, his expression was extremely hideous, and above his left forehead, there was a wound that had not yet healed, which was now black and rotten, exuding a disgusting smell, and even Wan Bingyu covered his nose with his hand in order to barely keep himself calm.
Seeing Xu Gongzi's body, she understood what He Nianbing meant when he said that the cause of death was related to herself, as soon as a normal person saw this appearance, she would attribute the cause of death to this hideous wound, and then naturally, she would set her eyes on Wan Bingyu, the person who had smashed Xu Gongzi.
Everything is too smooth, and it is also abnormal.
Wan Bingyu raised his eyebrows, and in a blink of an eye, he saw He Nianbing standing beside him, and the other party's expression was calm, as if he didn't feel anything about the corpse.
This made Wan Bingyu feel a little surprised.
"When the general saw this corpse, didn't he feel a little strange?"
"Strange?" He Nianbing didn't know what to think, and said with half-lowered eyes, "The corpse on the battlefield is even more miserable than the one in front of you." ”
I almost forgot that this general is not an ordinary person, he has just returned from the battlefield, he has really experienced the bloody scenes of fighting, and it is estimated that he has also walked through the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and he has seen a lot of dead people, so how can he be afraid?
Wan Bingyu took his gaze back again.
At this moment, the servant who was in charge of examining the corpse came to the morgue for questioning, and He Nianbing was in charge of the questioning.
Just as they were talking, Wan Bingyu stepped back, twisted his eyebrows to look at the deceased, looked at the person from top to bottom, and finally turned his head to ask the official next to him: "Can you help me turn the body over?" ”
"Flip?" The official's eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and he took three steps back in a row, "Madam, do you still want to look down?" ”
"Isn't that weird?" Wan Bingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, this official's reaction was inevitably too big.
"Yes, it's kind of weird." The official wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Today, there are rumors everywhere that the corpse is resurrecting the soul, so I'm a little scared." ”
He Nianbing and Lord Shen noticed the situation and also turned their gazes.
"Mrs. Wan is not afraid of a weak woman, what are you men with strong blood to be afraid of, why don't you hurry up?" Lord Shen commanded with raised eyebrows.
Even though there was a lot of reluctance in their hearts, several officials still turned the corpse over with a sad face.
Something even more unexpected happened at this time.
I saw Wan Bingyu half-squatting down, and her fingertips, which were as white as jade, brushed away the corpse's hair.
Rao is used to seeing corpses, He Nianbing couldn't help but change her face because of her actions, she is a woman, why is she so bold?
"What is Mrs. Wan doing?"
Wan Bingyu didn't raise his head and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the body that was previously examined found out that the cause of death of the deceased was due to blood congestion, right?" That's why you're looking at the wound I caused earlier, that's why Lord Xu was so out of control yesterday and came directly to me for trouble? ”
His eyes widened, thinking that this Mrs. Wan was really powerful, and she didn't say anything, but she even knew it?
"Madame is right."
"In fact, the cause of congestion and blockage is not only that the wound does not heal well, but also that when something is nailed into the skull, it will also cause this symptom."
As soon as Wan Bingyu's words fell, the faces of several people changed, especially Qi Zuo, who ran directly to Wan Bingyu's side, staring wide eyes to carefully observe where her finger was pointing.
Sure enough, there was a very inconspicuous little hole.
He helped to remove his hair, and saw the same small hole in several other places, the size of which an ordinary nail could pass through.
"My lord, this is obviously someone deliberately pierced the nail into the deceased's skull, which caused blood stasis." His face was pale, and he couldn't help but tremble even when he spoke, "This person has such a vicious heart, as if he is afraid that one nail will not kill people, and he actually nails four in a row, obviously there is a deep hatred between him and the victim!" ”
While the cause of death was determined, Wan Bingyu's suspicion was also cleared.
Lord Shen's gaze at Wan Bingyu suddenly became complicated: "In this way, someone wants to frame Mrs. Wan?" I wonder if Mrs. Wan has a grudge against anyone? ”
"Your Excellency, are you asking in the wrong direction?" Wan Bingyu pointed out with some dissatisfaction, "The person who framed me is not necessarily my enemy, it may also be Xu Gongzi's enemy, maybe it is because the wound on Xu Gongzi's forehead has not been treated properly, so the murderer has the idea of killing and planting." ”
Compared with Wan Bingyu, this Xu Gongzi's reputation can be said to be very bad in the capital, this person has many enemies, who can be sure that his death has nothing to do with the enemy?
It seems that I have to go to the Xu Mansion to interrogate what happened.
Lord Shen said with a bitter face: "I went to the Xu Mansion for interrogation today, I'm afraid that the general and Mrs. Wan will go alone, and the lower officials are still entangled in official business, so they really can't leave......
He Nianbing, who had been silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it just so happens that I'm okay today, so let's go." ”
Wan Bingyu naturally wanted to go with him.
On the way to Xu's house, He Nianbing's gaze kept rolling over her, making her feel creepy.
"General?" Wan Bingyu was very displeased, "Ever since you left the yamen, you must have been staring at me because I had dirty things on my face?" ”
He Nianbing shook his head with a complicated expression.
In fact, he didn't understand why he was staring at Wan Bingyu, it was like an instinct, from the first time he saw her when he returned to the city, he couldn't help but want to look at her, as if he could never get enough of the person in front of him.
Of course, this kind of psychology He Nianbing didn't say it frankly, after all, the general still wants to save face, if this kind of thing is said, what if Wan Bingyu treats him as a shameless person?
I saw him cough lightly to resolve the embarrassment, and explained with a serious face: "I'm just a little strange, Mrs. Wan, you are obviously a weak woman, but sometimes you are more courageous than ordinary men, why is this?" Aren't you really not scared at all when you face the corpse? ”
