Chapter 417: Summons
Chen Jinbao grabbed the screen tightly, and a huge fear rose in his heart - the front foot of the brocade box appeared, and Mama Zhang's hind foot related to the things hidden in the brocade box died, no matter how you look at it, there is a trace of something wrong!
Could it be that someone got the news, so he killed Mama Zhang first?
Could it be that someone doesn't want Emperor Wu to know the truth?
Then who brought the brocade box containing the letterhead to the Qinzheng Palace?
Many thoughts flashed quickly in Chen Jinbao's heart, and he gradually realized that this matter was extraordinary, while ordering the little palace maid to stay in Xianglan Pond, he hurriedly went back to report to Emperor Wu, "You stay here, no one is allowed to enter or leave, understand?" ”
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about appeasing the little palace maid, and hurriedly rushed back to the Qinzheng Palace, and as soon as he entered the hall, he bowed down and said, "Back to the emperor, the slave will be ordered to find Mama Zhang...... That is, the brocade book of the year, who thought about it but accidentally found that she was drowned in the pandan pool! ”
Emperor Wu's face suddenly became a little ugly when he heard this, and his tone was very displeased, "This matter will be handed over to you to investigate, don't make a noise for the time being." ”
Chen Jinbao quickly took the order to leave, first went to the Shen Criminal Division to find a few helpers, and borrowed a few people from the Criminal Department, and then went to Xianglan Pond to carefully investigate the case of Mama Zhang's drowning.
When the people from the Criminal Department heard that Emperor Wu ordered them to investigate secretly, the few people who went did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and quickly found out the reason for the matter.
Chen Jinbao quickly went to Emperor Wu to return to his life, "The case of Mama Zhang's drowning has been decided, and the people in the Criminal Department deduce that she died by accident!" ”
Chen Jinbao returned to Emperor Wu and said that the people of the Criminal Department deduced that she accidentally slipped and fell when she got up from the pool after the medicinal bath and said that the people of the Criminal Department deduced that she accidentally slipped and fell when she got up to leave the pool after the medicinal bath, and her head hit the stone steps when she fell to the ground.
As soon as Mama Zhang's head hit the stone steps, the person fell unconscious, and then fell into the pool, unable to save herself because of the coma, and finally drowned in the pool.
It is precisely because the back of Mama Zhang's head is broken and bleeding out that the pool water is dyed blood red.
"What do you think of this result?" Emperor Wu asked Chen Jinbao in a deep voice.
"The slave thinks that Mama Zhang's death is a bit too coincidental!" Chen Jinbao said what he thought truthfully, "Why did she just hit her head on the stone steps when she fell?" Fell into the water again after knocking? If she didn't happen to fall into the water, Mama Zhang would only be unconscious and would not drown! ”
"The people in the criminal department can only find out such results? What a bunch of rubbish! Emperor Wu threw the fold in his hand on the table with a displeased face, obviously not believing that all this was a coincidence.
"The emperor is angry." Chen Jinbao hurriedly persuaded.
Emperor Wu leaned back on the dragon chair and closed his eyes silently, and after a long time, he slowly spoke, "Some people want to present the truth in front of my eyes, and some people are in a hurry to cover up the truth and don't want me to see the truth. ”
"That's what the minions think, too." Chen Jinbao replied respectfully.
"But now that I have a glimpse of the truth, then we must investigate the matter thoroughly, and no one can play with me in the palm of my hand!" Emperor Wu said "snap" and hit the dragon chair with his palm, and the coercion emanating from his body made Chen Jinbao subconsciously bend his body lower.
Emperor Wu closed his eyes again as he spoke, frowning and thinking about how to dig out what he wanted to know...... He quickly thought of Wei Qingqing, who had broken several strange cases in the palace.
"Passed the decree and ordered Princess Rui to enter the palace and allow her to temporarily stay in Cining Palace to investigate the case." On the one hand, Emperor Wu ordered someone to summon Wei Qingqing into the palace to solve the case, and on the other hand, he ordered Chen Jinbao to block the news so as not to startle the snake, "Cover this matter tightly!" If you don't check the previous word, you are not allowed to leak it! ”
Wei Qingqing soon received the holy decree sent from the palace, and after the holy decree was read, she was immediately urged to leave, and soon followed the eunuch who passed the decree into the palace.
Concubine Rui was a little relieved that Wei Qingqing, who was pregnant, also handed over a sign to the palace to ask to see the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, and accompanied Wei Qingqing all the way into the palace.
Wei Qingqing entered the palace and failed to go to Cining Palace to greet the Empress Dowager Xiaoduan, so he was taken directly to the Qinzheng Palace.
Wei Qingqing was slightly surprised in her heart, and secretly guessed what happened to make Emperor Wu pay so much attention to it......
When she saw Emperor Wu, she was even more surprised - but after a while, the high-spirited and majestic Emperor Wu before became sick and looked lifeless!
Emperor Wu looked tired, and after seeing Wei Qingqing, he first coughed, and then eased up for a while before he opened his mouth and commanded, "Wei, there is a murder in the palace, I hope you will find out the real cause of death of the deceased for me." ”
"If he kills, you will find out the murderer for me!" Emperor Wu seemed to be a little angry when he said the word "murderer", which made him unstoppable another violent cough, and Chen Jinbao hurriedly served the teacup when he saw it.
After Emperor Wu took a sip of tea to ease his mind, he instructed Chen Jinbao, "You take Wei's to Xianglan Pond!" Wei, this errand is well done, and I have a lot of rewards! ”
Wei Qingqing bent his knees to receive the order, and then went to Xianglan Pond, the scene of the crime, with Chen Jinbao.
Because Emperor Wu suspected that Mama Zhang was killed, he ordered someone to block the Xianglan Pond early and prevent idle people from entering and leaving, so the scene of the crime was well protected and not damaged at all.
After Wei Qingqing arrived at Xianglan Pond, she carefully investigated the scene of the crime, and quickly made a preliminary inference, "From the scattered items at the scene and the surface condition of the corpse, it is inferred that the deceased should have accidentally fallen into the pool and drowned." ”
"It's just that these are the most superficial phenomena, and the specific cause of death will not be determined until I have carefully examined the corpse." Wei Qingqing informed Chen Jinbao of his inferences one by one, and then said that he had to conduct a further autopsy.
Chen Jinbao had already heard of Wei Qingqing's investigation method, so he made a "please" gesture to her later, "Princess Rui, please take care of yourself, as long as you can find out what is going on!" ”
Wei Qingqing bowed slightly to indicate that she knew, and then walked to Mama Zhang's corpse, and after briefly inspecting the surface of the corpse, she found an object and slowly pried Mama Zhang's mouth open.
"Before the candle is near, shine it carefully on the mouth of the deceased." Wei Qingqing gave an order, and soon someone raised the candle flame to Mama Zhang's mouth.
Wei Qingqing took out the Huoqi, carefully examined Mama Zhang's mouth by the light of the candle, and used special tweezers to take out the contents of the mouth one by one and put them on a tray covered with a white cloth.
Soon a mutilated, purple petal appeared on the white cloth, and a small black bug that looked like a beetle.
Wei Qingqing stared thoughtfully at the two things on the white cloth, and then carefully looked at the pool that had been stained red with blood, and gradually had a guess in his heart.
"Mama Zhang usually adds flower petals to the pool during the medicinal bath?" Wei Qingqing asked.
Chen Jinbao immediately signaled to the little palace maid who served Mama Zhang to answer.
