Chapter 274: Jade Plate

Wei Qingqing said and pointed to the back of the deceased's body and said: "There are purple-red corpse spots on the deceased's pillow, top, back, waist, buttocks and the back of the limbs, which means that she has been lying on her back on the ground for at least four hours after her death. ”

Wei Qingqing's tone gradually became sonorous and powerful, "The corpse spots on the deceased's back are strong evidence that she was killed and then hung up!" ”

After combining the previous points, she made the closest inference to the truth, "If there are no other fatal injuries on the deceased's body, and there is only one strangulation mark on her neck, then she is likely to be suffocated to death and then suspended from a tree, because only suffocation will not leave a scar on the deceased's body!" ”

Under normal circumstances, corpse spots will begin to appear two hours after death, and after four hours, the corpse spots will completely solidify and the corpse spots will not transfer if the location of the corpse is changed. Vertices

That is, after the deceased was suffocated, the body was hidden somewhere for at least four hours before it was finally transferred to a tree!

There was no place in the grove where the body could be hidden for four hours without being found, which means that the grove where the body was hung was not the scene of the first crime!

Wei Qingqing held her chin and fell into deep thought......

Where is the scene of the first crime?

Where did the murderer suffocate the dead?

As long as she calms down and searches carefully, she will definitely be able to find clues related to the first crime scene from the deceased!

Just when Wei Qingqing was thinking hard, she accidentally found that the mother in charge had been staring at the deceased, and she immediately asked, "Grandma, did you find something wrong?" ”

The lady in charge replied with a puzzled face: "This palace maid has some eyes, and the old slave has been staring at her for a long time, and she can't remember where she is on an errand!" ”

The lady in charge said and simply squatted down in front of the deceased to take a closer look, but it seemed that she still couldn't remember her identity.

She could only say with a self-deprecating face: "Old, old, my memory is so bad!" Miss Wei, wait first, the old slave will let the people below recognize it! ”

Several aunts in charge of the palace soon came to identify the identity of the deceased one by one, and finally the aunt in charge of training the new palace maid gave the result, "She is a new palace maid, her name is 'tortoiseshell'!" ”

"It turned out that she was a palace maid who had only been in the palace for two days, no wonder the old slave didn't recognize it!" The lady in charge said and instructed the aunt in charge: "Then you and Miss Wei will talk about this tortoiseshell!" ”

Wei Qingqing learned from her aunt in charge that the tortoiseshell was a newcomer who could not be newer, she had only entered the palace for two days and was still in the stage of learning the rules.

In other words, it is very unlikely that the dead tortoiseshell will make enemies in the palace, and many people have never even seen her, let alone know her...... This has made Wei Qingqing's investigation more difficult.

Wei Qingqing thought that it seemed that it would be difficult to get useful clues from other palace mouths, so he could only focus on investigating the scene and autopsies.

She picked up the fire once again and carefully examined the tortoiseshell's corpse, from the outside to the inside, from the clothes and jewelry to the hair and skin of the body, she did not let go of every place.

No other clues were found on the corpse except for the corpse spots, but a square jade plate hanging from the tortoiseshell around his waist attracted Wei Qingqing's attention, this is a jade plate with exquisite workmanship and superior quality, engraved with a hundred birds and a phoenix in the front, the phoenix in the center is carved vividly, and the reverse side is engraved with a phoenix flying in the fire.

This jade plaque made her feel a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while!

Why did she feel so familiar with the jade brand?

Wei Qingqing was a little puzzled in her heart, it stands to reason that this jade plate is a tortoiseshell thing, and the tortoiseshell has only entered the palace for two days, and she has never met the tortoiseshell, so how can she feel that the jade plate on the tortoiseshell is familiar?

Could it be that this jade plaque is not owned by the tortoiseshell, but obtained by the tortoiseshell from elsewhere?

Wei Qingqing subconsciously glanced at the jade plaque, and after keeping its style firmly in mind, she asked the guards to send the corpse to the morgue.

After the body was sent to the morgue, Wei Qingqing took a turn in the grove again, but still found no new clues.

She could only pin her hopes on the other side of the morgue and confirmed to the grandmother in charge: "Is the other end of the morgue properly arranged?" ”

The lady in charge patted her chest and assured Wei Qingqing, "It's already arranged!" I had already found a few strong guards to guard in the shadows, just waiting for the messenger to fall into the net! ”

In the first few cases, the people behind the scenes sent two letters to the deceased, the first one was when the body was first found, and the content was for Wei Qingqing to judge suicide or homicide.

The second letter was sent to the deceased after Wei Qingqing made a conclusion, and the content was to let Wei Qingqing solve the case and find the murderer within three days.

Wei Qingqing had already made up her mind that when there was another murder, she would send someone to guard the corpse, and the person who delivered the letter must be caught!

As long as you catch the person who sent the letter, you can find the person hiding in the shadows, and maybe you can learn the truth of the case from them!

At present, Wei Qingqing has just made a conclusion on the murder of the tortoiseshell case, and the tortoiseshell's body has just been sent to the morgue, thinking that the second letter will be delivered to the tortoiseshell soon, can you catch the person who sent the letter in this move!

Wei Qingqing attached great importance to this arrest, and after thinking about it for a while, she said to the mother in charge: "Mama Lao quietly sent someone to instruct the guards who arrested people, so that they should not act rashly when they see the person who sent the letter, and leave some time for the other party to release the letter, so that the other party can get the stolen goods and make the other party have no way to deny it!" ”

When the lady in charge heard this, she was about to send someone to deliver the letter, when a lazy voice suddenly sounded, rushed ahead of her and said to Wei Qingqing: "In terms of the ability to arrest people, who can compare with this king?" ”

As soon as Wei Qingqing heard the arrogant and conceited voice with a hint of laziness, she immediately looked up, and there was a hint of surprise in her voice that she had never noticed, "Lord Wang, you're back!" ”

Ming Ye was sent out by Emperor Wu on an errand some time ago, and he just returned to Beijing today, and he went to the palace early in the morning to hand in his errands and found an excuse to retire from Emperor Wu, and couldn't wait to find Wei Qingqing.

"This king is not here, no one has disemboweled, killed and set fire for you, and smashed a lot of cases, right?" Ming Ye looked at Wei Qingqing with a smile, although his words were very flat, there was also a trace of doting in his eyes that he had never noticed.

"That is, the helper in handling the case is naturally a good envoy of the prince!" Wei Qingqing looked at Ming Ye with a smile, and her originally heavy mood suddenly became lighter, "Then can you bother the prince to go to the morgue and catch the messenger for me?" ”
