Chapter 272: Martyrdom
As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, everyone in the audience took a breath of cold air - there was such a bold person who dared to steal even the things of the dead!
Wei Qingqing was noncommittal to the little eunuch's words, and still buried his head in examining the corpse.
When the little eunuch saw it, he thought that Wei Qingqing didn't believe his words, so he immediately became anxious, "The slave really only stole the things on the corpse, and the person was really not killed by the slave!" When the minion got here, she was already hanging high in the tree! ”
"Don't worry, I didn't say that you killed people!" Wei Qingqing opened her mouth unhurriedly, and while gently taking off the special gloves on her hand, she gave a firm conclusion, "Caidie died by hanging." ”
Hang oneself?
This result surprised everyone present, after all, whether it was Lianxin or Jin Ling, they were all killed and disguised as self-hanging, which made everyone preconceived that Caidie was also killed by him...... Who would have thought that the final verdict would be self-hanging!
The lady in charge was also very surprised, and couldn't help but confirm: "Miss Wei, are you saying that Caidie was not killed, but hanged herself?" And what happened to the letter on her? ”
"If there is a murder in the palace, the people behind the scenes will know about it one step ahead of us, and make a fuss about the murder!" Wei Qingqing has long had such a guess - the person hiding behind the scenes is not the murderer, the person is just using the murder case to argue with her.
At least in the few cases that have appeared in the palace so far, the murderer is not the one who wrote the war letter to her.
Who has been making a fuss about the murder case and secretly arguing with her?
"Didn't someone think the murder was a fun thing to make those letters?" The lady in charge was very angry when she heard Wei Qingqing's words, and thought to herself, isn't this full of food and support?
Wei Qingqing shook her head, "I don't have a clue who is behind the scenes hidden in the shadows." ”
The mother in charge had no clue, so she could only divert the topic, "Cai Die really hanged herself?" ”
"This is just my preliminary inference based on Caidie's corpse, and it needs to be further verified before the verdict can be made." Wei Qingqing thought that at least Caidie's motive for suicide must be found before the case can be closed.
After a little thought, she asked the lady in charge to lead the way, "I want to go to Caidie's residence to see!" ”
"I'll take you there." After speaking, the lady in charge immediately led the way in front, and led Wei Qingqing all the way to the wing where Caidie usually lived.
As soon as Wei Qingqing entered the door, she found that the wing room had not been deliberately cleaned up, and the things were scattered very casually, which confirmed her inner guess even more.
She walked around Caidie's room and looked around, not with a clear purpose when she first inspected the plain room, but looked around aimlessly, or opened the box to look at it at random, or stopped in a corner, or flipped through books and letters.
She soon discovers something suspicious - there is a men's obscene dress in Rainbow Butterfly's cage!
Wei Qingqing quickly found the palace maid who is usually close to Caidie and asked, "Do you know that she hid a men's profane dress in the cage?" ”
The palace maid glanced at the profane clothes, nodded and said: "The slave knows that this profane clothes were made by Caidie for the four princes, but before the four princes were ready, they suddenly went, and then Caidie will take out the profane clothes as soon as she misses the four princes." ”
The fourth prince is the scumbag Zhao Mingli who was killed by Zhao Lingxi in the secret room of Hefu before.
Wei Qingqing asked the palace maid again, "What is abnormal about Caidie on weekdays?" ”
"Abnormal ......" The palace maid let out a long sigh and said: "In fact, since the unexpected death of the fourth prince, Caidie has always been a little abnormal, often holding that obscene clothes in a daze, motionless and sitting all night!" ”
Wei Qingqing learned from the palace maid that Caidie was a palace maid who had been serving by Zhao Mingli's side since she was a child, and she was only a few years older than Zhao Mingli.
Zhao Mingli opened meat after the weak crown, and since then he likes to play with all kinds of women, and no one who is close to him is spared, and Caidie is naturally no exception.
However, the relationship between Zhao Mingli and Caidie is a little different, Zhao Mingli has been accustomed to Caidie's service since he was a child, and he treats her better than the woman next to him after accepting her.
Caidie is also willing to serve Zhao Mingli, and wants to be a concubine for Zhao Mingli, Zhao Mingli also loves her very much, and has long promised to take Caidie into the mansion as a concubine in the future.
Who would have thought that Caidie would wait for Zhao Mingli's death before the day she came to be a concubine.
After Zhao Mingli's death, Caidie's heart seemed to die, and she was in a trance all day long, washing her face with tears.
After listening to what the palace said, Wei Qingqing went to look at the words and paintings that Caidie wrote and painted on weekdays, and found that she could write poems and wrote a lot of poems to mourn Zhao Mingli.
Wei Qingqing carefully read the poems written by Caidie, and found that the words "life and death together" and "looking forward to serving around" appeared repeatedly, unabashedly revealing her intention to follow Zhao Mingli.
In other words, Caidie has a motive to commit suicide!
Wei Qingqing has traced this point, and it is already certain that Caidie committed suicide rather than homicide.
She handed over the poems written by Caidie mourning Zhao Mingli and the profane clothes made by Caidie for Zhao Mingli to the housekeeper's grandmother, and gave a final conclusion, "The case can be closed - Caidie hanged herself, and these are the physical evidence." ”
Wei Qingqing said and mentioned the strangulation marks on Caidie's neck, "I have carefully examined Caidie's corpse and made sure that there are no other scars on her body that are not caused by ropes, and the only scar is the strangulation mark on her neck." ”
"In other words, the wound on Caidie's neck is her fatal wound." Wei Qingqing analyzed clearly: "I have carefully examined the strangulation marks on Caidie's neck before, and determined that the size and width of the strangulation marks on her neck are consistent with the size and width of the sling, and the strangulation marks are not intersecting at the back of the head...... This is the strangulation mark left by a person who hangs himself. ”
Wei Qingqing paused as she spoke, and explained from another angle, "Suppose someone strangled the butterfly to death with a rope, the strangulation marks on the butterfly's neck would never be in the form of a figure of eight, but would be in the shape of a closed herringbone or a cross!" ”
After Wei Qingqing explained his analysis and reasoning in detail, he soon announced the results of the investigation of the case, and concluded that Caidie's death was self-hanging.
This is the first time that Wei Qingqing has taken over the war letter, and the deceased has been determined to be suicide rather than homicide.
After she announced the results, everyone in the palace was suddenly in danger - if Wei Qingqing made a mistake in judgment, she would die again!
Everyone thinks that although Wei Qingqing has solved a few cases, she is not a serious judge, who knows if she will suddenly miss it?
The challenge book said that if Wei Qingqing made a mistake in judgment, one more person would die!
No one wants to be a victim of Wei Qingqing's mistake!
Just when everyone was panicking, waiting for the person behind the curtain to reveal the answer, a letter from home was sent to the mother in charge.
