Chapter Seventy-Two: No Defense

The news that Taiwei died in the guest room of Xie Mansion was spread by someone and immediately caused an uproar in Xiangling Town.

Even many people believe that since the case of Zhangjiapuzi, Xiangling Town has been clouded, and deaths and injuries have occurred everywhere, and everything is unbelievable.

What's more, Taiwei is an important minister of the court, and his death, to say that it is more serious, will bring ruin to Xiangling Town, which is not an exaggeration.

So right now, it's not just Master Xie and Prefect Mu Qitian who are in a hurry, but also Qu Youying.

When she heard the news, she fainted.

Every time she loses consciousness due to external resistance, Liangyi will appear.

But this time, when Liangyi was only conscious and about to wake up, he was suppressed by a powerful impact.

Qu Youying was unconscious, but she didn't let Liangyi appear.

It made Yun Shu and them so frightened that they were in a hurry, and in the end, Xie Xiaoer stepped forward, pinched the person, and woke the person up.

"Xiaoying, are you okay?"

Qu Youying, who had been carried to the bed, woke up leisurely in the call, she saw Xie Xiaoer at a glance, her eyes froze, and the next moment she got up from the bed and grabbed his clothes.

"Say, what the hell is going on? Why did Jing Zhu kill the captain? It's absolutely impossible! He's not going to do it, he's not going to do it! ”

She hissed and her voice was hoarse, but all three were silent.

"Since you don't say it, then I'll go and see it myself!"

Qu Youying pushed them away, got out of bed, and approached the door, and was about to rush out when she opened the door, just as Qu Qingyang was coming this way.

"Where are you going?"

As soon as Qu Qingyang saw her like that, he knew that she had already gotten the news, and he was not at ease, so he rushed here.

"Dad, Jing Zhu won't kill anyone, no, I'm going to take a look, I'm not at ease."

Qu Youying was very flustered, and was about to rush to the gate after crossing Qu Qingyang, but he was stopped by him.

"Look at you, what does it look like now? In your case, how can you help? Could it be that he is crying and shouting to tell everyone that Jing Zhu is not the murderer? ”

Qu Qingyang's words were not heavy, but the words hit Qu Youying's flustered heart, making her pause and stop.

Qu Qingyang saw her hands clenched into fists, her whole body trembled, sighed, and after making a look at Yun Shu, she walked behind Qu Youying, reached out and patted her daughter's shoulder.

"Child, Daddy knows you're worried. But he was caught red-handed and did not make any excuses, which is enough to show that there must be something else hidden in this matter. It's useless for you to be in such a hurry. ”

"But Dad, I'm really worried about him. He wouldn't kill, absolutely not. ”

Qu Youying argued, the crystal of her eyes was clearly visible, and her heart was as uncomfortable as thousands of ants climbing.

"Yes, Dad also believes that he will not kill, so at this time, you must calm down, because only you can help him."

Qu Youying was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him, "Me? ”

"Yes."

At this moment, Yun Shu walked to Qu Qingyang with the box in her hand, Qu Qingyang took the box in her hand and handed it to Qu Youying.

"Although Dad doesn't like you to deal with corpses all day, he has to admit that your talent, like your mother, is the best job. So, as the town's servant, all you can do is let the corpse speak. ”

Qu Youying looked at her father, her heart seemed to have mixed feelings, and she spoke for a long time.

As far as she is concerned, after her mother died, Qu Qingyang never spoke to her in this voice, let alone recognized her ability.

But today, he admitted it, and asked her to use this skill to restore her innocence.

Such a father makes Qu Youying a little unfamiliar.

Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, Xie Xiaoer simply stepped forward, took the toolbox for her, and said to Qu Qingyang, "Shibo, I believe that Xiaoying will definitely be, you just wait for our good news!" ”

Qu Qingyang looked at his daughter and smiled knowingly for the first time.

"Kid, don't let Dad down."

Qu Youying's nose was sour, she resisted the urge to cry, and nodded vigorously, "En! ”

She believes in her skills and believes that Mu Jingzhu will not harm people, so she must find evidence from the corpse.

This is the only thing she can do for Mu Jingzhu.

However, when she and Xie Xiaoer arrived at Xie's mansion, they were prevented from performing an autopsy for the captain.

The reason is her relationship with Mu Jingzhu.

Thirteen Chuan led all the guards to block in front of the door, at this moment the Taiwei is dead, Yang Wan'er is missing, although his official rank is not high, but he has a heavy army, as long as he wants, the entire Xiangling Town is under his control.

Therefore, even the prefect Mu Qitian had no choice but to write a letter overnight and report to the envoy.

But it takes time to report to the response, and it took a full day to get a response.

According to the inspection commission, someone was sent to take over the matter, and Qu Youying conducted a preliminary autopsy, waiting for the person sent to re-examine it.

During this period, Qu Youying stayed in Xie Xiaoer's courtyard, she couldn't see Mu Jingzhu, and it wasn't until the evening that she was told that she could give Taiwei an autopsy, but she had to be exposed to people.

The huge courtyard of Xie Mansion was full of guards and brightly lit.

The prefect and Master Xie are all gathered in the courtyard.

Thirteen rivers stopped at the door, and only Qu Youying entered alone.

She went in with the box, looked at the cold and ruthless Thirteen Chuan, and for the first time did not have any fear of this man.

"Let Xie Bi'an come in with him, he is my helper, I need someone to record it."

Thirteen Chuan refused, "I can." ”

"You don't believe us?"

Looking at his eyes, Qu Youying knew that she had guessed correctly, the corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled sarcastically.

"As the commander of the guards, the safety of the captain is your entire responsibility, but you still let the captain die. If you can't trust us, I don't think you can be trusted either! ”

Thirteen Chuan didn't answer immediately, but raised his eyes to look at her.

His eyes were deeper than Mu Jingzhu's, especially when he stared at it at such a close distance, the terrifying aura that seeped out was still very rich, so thick that her hands trembled uncontrollably.

Fortunately, the Thirteen Rivers didn't last long, so they took a step to the side.

"Second son Xie, please."

His previous attitude was already tough, and even the prefect didn't take it seriously.

But now because of Qu Youying's words, he agreed to Xie Xiaoer's autopsy together?

Inexplicably, suspicion flashed in Qu Youying's heart.

But now that the autopsy was important, she didn't say anything more, and turned to walk towards the body of the captain.

The body of the lieutenant was laid flat on the bed in his room, and it is said that no one had touched it since the body was found.

There were also guards on both sides, holding candles in their hands, illuminating all the darkness in the room.

Qu Youying took a deep breath, put down the toolbox, put on gloves, and began the official autopsy.

"The muscles of the deceased were obviously stiff all over his body, and the corpse spots were all over his body, and the time of death was more than ten hours. He was lying flat on the bed, his eyes were slightly open, his hair was not messy, his underwear was neat and untidy, his wound was on his chest, the blood around him was coagulated, the wound was open, his position was deep, and his flesh was rolled and protruding. ”

She sang loudly, Xie Xiaoer recorded on the side, and the people inside and outside the door could hear it clearly.

After checking her upper body, she crouched down and flipped the captain's hand open.

"The deceased's hands were half clenched into fists, and there was an old wound on the back of his left hand, one inch long, which had been several years. The palms of his hands were covered with calluses, and his legs were not wounded. ”

"No?" Xie Xiaoer said curiously, "So it's a one-hit kill?" ”

Qu Youying nodded, and before the wound on her chest, she broke the flesh with her hand and examined it with a knife.

"It was preliminarily concluded that the captain was wounded by a dagger about two fingers wide and five to six inches long, which was thin at the top and wide at the bottom, and the tip should be similar to a hook."

"How can you be sure?"

Thirteen Chuan's voice sounded beside her, and Qu Youying realized that he had stood beside her for some time, watching.

But due to professional instinct, she did not refuse to speak because of him, but used a clamp to the side of the wound, and picked up a small piece of flesh.

"A normal dagger has a sharp tip, so it pierces the flesh, and when it is pulled out, it does not carry the flesh of the piercing place. But if you look at this, its color is darker than the skin and flesh on the surface, and it is the flesh and blood of the heart. I think the tip of the dagger came out when the murderer drew his knife. If I could have a chest section, I would definitely be able to compare it. ”

"No comparison, you're right! When I heard the movement and ran over, Jing Zhu was holding a dagger with a sharp hook in his hand, and the length was about the same as you said. ”

Xie Xiaoer was very excited, and at the same time she was cheering for Qu Youying, she could determine the appearance of the murder weapon based on the wound alone, so she couldn't help Thirteen Chuan deliberately find fault.

Qu Youying saw his smug eyes at Thirteen Chuan, if it were on weekdays, she would definitely be proud.

But today, she really didn't have that playful mind, she got up from the side of the bed and took off her gloves.

"The Tai Lieutenant died of his murder, and the murder weapon was a dagger with a hook at the tip, about five or six inches in length and two fingers wide, and the time of death was between the time of the hour and the hour of the child last night. Taiwei was supposed to know martial arts, but he was still killed by the murderer for only two reasons. First, the opponent's martial arts are strong, enough to make the captain have no power to fight back. Second, the lieutenant knew each other, so he was defenseless. ”

"So the two reasons you said, Mu Jing Candle is accounted for."

This is the original words of Thirteen Chuan, although it is hateful to hear, Qu Youying really can't find any words to refute.

But Xie Xiaoer was not happy when he heard it.

He put down the pen and paper and said, "That can't be said to be made by Jing Candle." He may have seen the murderer, tracked him down, found that the captain had been stabbed, and when he stepped forward to check, he pulled out the dagger, and at that time you rushed in, and then he was framed. ”

"Pull out the dagger?"

Thirteen Chuan suddenly laughed.

When he laughed, the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, although he looked cold, he had a kind of indifference that did not eat the fireworks of the world.

"I heard that you have also been involved in many cases, and have been studying with Mu Jingzhu, don't you know that in that case, only a fool will draw a knife?"

What he said was mean and ruthless, Xie Xiaoer's face was flushed when he heard it, and he couldn't refute it.

Because with Mu Jingzhu's temperament, it is indeed impossible for him to draw a knife.

If the captain hadn't died at that time, he would have died if he drew his sword.

If the lieutenant had been dead at the time, drawing the knife would only have ruined the scene and hampered the autopsy.

These are all clear to Mu Jingzhu, but the truth of the matter is that he pulled out the dagger, and then was caught squarely, without any justification for himself.

Judging from Qu Youying's understanding of him, he must have discovered something, and this discovery is very important, so he chose to be silent.

But what is that exactly?

Qu Youying couldn't figure it out, if she didn't find the answer, Mu Jingzhu would be really dangerous!
