Chapter 441
There are a few dots of blood on the edge of the bed, and there are throwing blood on the bedding, which is supposed to be left by someone who has been repeatedly stabbed here. ”
Xu Chu squatted down, squatted down first, checked the blood stains under the bed, and after a little examination, he couldn't help frowning and said, "How can there be so much blood." ”
On the side, Cao Inspector said: "The wound is deep, and it should be the blood left by the bleeding." ”
Xu Chu shook his head, "No, if you follow this flow method, even if you drain the blood of a man who has passed the age of bundling, it shouldn't be too much." ”
"The amount of blood in the human body is relatively fixed, and with a body like the Third Prince, the blood volume should only be five large bowls at most. Lord Cao thinks that the blood volume of five large bowls can soak the clothes of the three princes, and also soak the blankets under the bed into such a look? ”
Inspector Cao took a closer look at the situation under the bed, shook his head and said, "It must not be enough." ”
"Moreover, as a strong man, why did the third prince not struggle and run away when he was stabbed for the first time?"
Inspector Cao followed Xu Chu to look at the floor of the room, and pondered, "Maybe the third prince didn't have a chance to escape at that time?" ”
Xu Chu shook his head, "If the prince really committed murder on the bed at that time, even if he made a surprise move, the third prince should have a chance to turn around or retreat." ”
In addition, when a person is stabbed, he will instinctively cover the wound, and even snatch to resist the murder weapon and assassinate again. However, there was no blood on the hands of the third prince, and there were no traces of stabbing or slashing with sharp weapons on the palms and arms. This is really incomprehensible. ”
At this point, Inspector Cao thought it was true. These details really don't make sense. Unless the three princes were unable to react at that time, such as fainting or being held hostage.
But if the latter is possible, then it is clear that this matter is indeed a game. The accusations that Concubine Nade accused the prince of cannot be implemented.
Inspector Cao took the autopsy sheet, carefully supplemented it, and then handed it to Xu Chu and said, "My lord, take a look, for the time being, I can only test so much." ”
Xu Chu received the autopsy sheet handed over by the inspector Cao, got up and walked to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, all that can be tested at present is these, except for the three short sword wounds on the abdomen of the third prince, there are no other fatal wounds. In addition, the third prince had a violent relationship with a person, and it is highly likely that the person wore a ring on his left hand. ”
"There are complete spurts of blood on the bed, which can confirm that the murderer committed the murder in a bottom-up position. It's just that on the blanket on the ground, there are some abnormalities in the soaked bloodstains, and the amount of blood greatly exceeds the entire amount of blood in the human body. ”
"The minister suspects that this should be a pool of blood or the blood volume of two people."
The emperor's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, and after a moment he squinted his eyes and said coldly, "Go on." ”
"At first glance, judging from the bloodstains and the time, this should be the first scene of the crime. But after careful scrutiny, there are many doubts here. ”
"I heard the queen mother mention that the three princes had followed the king of Qi to learn martial arts, and they often came out on top among several princes. However, how could such a skill not resist or struggle to retreat when he was stabbed for the first time, but let the murderer stab him twice in succession? ”
"Even if the murderer had already done something wrong at that time, and he happened to be broken by the three princes to expose it, the three princes would not be so powerless that they did not act." Xu Chu said, and pointed to the front of the bed, "But the current situation is that there are no dripping blood stains here except for impregnated bloodstains. Moreover, except for the abdominal wound, the third prince has no other injuries all over his body, which is really unreasonable. ”
The emperor bowed his head, "Although Huan Rong's skills are not as good as those of King Qi, there are few opponents in the imperial city. Even if he was seriously injured, it was impossible for him to fight back. ”
Xu Chu nodded, "Therefore, Chen feels that there are many suspicious points in this case, and he needs to investigate it in detail." And the minister believes that the prince will not do such a reluctant, after all, as the prince back then, if he really wanted to force Mrs. Yan, he would be powerless to refuse. So, why did the prince force someone else's wife at this time? ”
"Now that Mrs. Yan's father is still being detained in the Three Law Divisions, if the prince really has the heart to persecute Mrs. Yan, why not threaten her father's life, but instead take the risk to do such a thing in the inner courtyard of the palace."
"Your Majesty, the prince has always been cautious, and with his temperament, even if he is drunk, he will not lose his mind. Besides, when they were in the Qi Palace, many adults saw that the prince drank a jar of wine one after another and was not drunk, how could they get drunk to the point of indifference because of a few cups of imperial wine in the palace? ”
As soon as she mentioned this, King Qi's eyes couldn't help but become strange when he looked at her, and he felt that this person was also a master who didn't talk nonsense with his eyes open. After his third brother drank alcohol that day, could he really be called not drunk? That's obviously drunk and has lost the slightest bit of the prince's demeanor, okay.
Of course, now that it is a matter of human life, he naturally can't demolish his prospective brother and daughter-in-law. Besides, he also felt that this matter was strange everywhere, and he felt that his third brother was by no means a person who could slash his relatives.
What Xu Chu said, although it is not evidence that can clear Xiao Qinglang's suspicions. But if you think about it, her words are not unreasonable. There were too many coincidences tonight, which made the emperor, who had always been good at conspiracy theories, have to be cautious.
"Now, the lower officials implore the emperor to send the grandmother in charge of midwifery in the palace to help Mrs. Yan Shao check to determine whether she has been raped. In addition, the people of the inner court inspected the prince's profane trousers, waist and abdomen to determine whether he had done wrongdoing, and then there was residual essence. Liquid. In addition, Lao Futai Hospital consulted Wang Ye and Yan Liu to determine whether the two had taken drugs that could make people unconscious. ”
After all, in a hurry, and without water and a clean cloth towel, shooting. There are no traces on the body after the essence, which is almost impossible.
Now, she can't clear Xiao Qinglang's murder suspicion as soon as possible. But as long as there is a glimmer of possibility, she doesn't want Xiao Qinglang to bear the notoriety of being a humiliating wife, even if it's only temporary.
The emperor naturally thought of this, and at this time, he didn't care about how his quasi-brother and sister were so straightforward and shocking how shocking they were, so he looked directly at Liu Deming and Lou An behind him, and asked the two of them to do it themselves.
A quarter of an hour later, Lou An came back and said, "Your Majesty, there are no obvious sperm spots on the prince's abdomen, but the prince's blasphemy." There were some traces on the outside of the clothes. ”
At this time, the hospital of Tai Hospital and Imperial Doctor Zhao also came back and forth, saying that according to what he had seen, Xiao Qinglang should not have misused drugs that made people sleepy. Ignoring Yan Shao's wife, Yan Liu's family, there are still residues of the drug made of mandala in her body.
Imperial Physician Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Previously, Wei Chen studied the ancient prescription of hemp boiling with her because he followed the Jing'an Wangfu Chu Niangzi to learn the medical skills of removing lesions for patients. At that time, in order to be able to develop the hemp boiling powder to the fullest, Weichen reported to the emperor and obtained the approval of the court, and took a large amount of mandala powder from the imperial pharmacy to the palace. ”
As he spoke, the cold sweat on his forehead was already dripping.
"At that time, there were leftovers of hemp boiling powder and mandala powder, just to facilitate the continued research tomorrow, so Wechen did not bring it back."
In other words, those drugs that are enough to make people fall asleep are still in the Jing'an Palace.
"What you said is true?" The emperor's eyes were slightly cold and he looked at Imperial Doctor Zhao.
Imperial Physician Zhao felt a burst of coercion overwhelming, and he was a little trembling at that time, he wiped a cold sweat, and hurriedly replied: "Weichen is absolutely not lying, at this time, the Tai Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy have records. And in the past few days, we have studied Ma Boiling with the famous Dr. Zhou and others in the capital. They can all testify for Wechen......"
In fact, at this point, there is nothing to question. After all, Imperial Physician Zhao's words are straightforward and conclusive, and there are also witnesses and records, so it should be true nine times out of ten.
However, out of prudence, the emperor still waved his hand and motioned for the Praetorian Guards beside him to investigate.
Fortunately, the Jing'an Palace, which is not far from the palace, and Dr. Zhou also lives in the hospital all the year round, so it is not difficult to find his witnesses. Just a quarter of an hour later, the Praetorian Guards, who had gone to inquire about the details, hurriedly returned, and what he and his subordinates had found was not different from what Imperial Physician Zhao had said.
In this way, Xiao Qinglang's crime is almost confirmed. At the same time, it also made Xu Chu feel annoyed.
At this moment, Concubine De, who was choked up, suddenly sneered: "Now, what else do you have to say?" That Xiao Qinglang was stolen and captured, even you have found out, my Huan Rong died from the short sword he carried, who else could he be! Now that he has that filth on him, what is there to quibble about? ”
"Even if my Huan Rong did something despicable before he died, could it be that this can cover up the scandal of King Jing'an?" As she spoke, she looked at Xu Chu with tears in her eyes, and said with hatred and hatred, "Don't you think that you can still confuse the public, what blood stains and what resistance, to put it bluntly, it's not your remarks to exonerate King Jing'an?" ”
"King Jing'an, as Huan Rong's third uncle, has always been respected by Huan Rong, he wants to kill Huan Rong, can't he allow Huan Rong to be shocked?" As she spoke, she stared at Xu Chu viciously, and asked word by word, "Besides, you said that Huan Rong had a scar on his arm, so how can you be sure that the mark was not left by King Jing'an when he committed the murder?" ”
After she finished speaking, she looked at the emperor with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of person is King Jing'an, if he really did such an evil thing, how could he not leave a way back for himself?" Could it be that just because he is proficient in prison matters and leaves a few doubts, he can be worthy of the stolen goods and obtain so much evidence? ”
"If this is the case, he will be able to get away with the crime, and even if the concubine fights hard, she must seek justice for Huan Rong."
Xu Chu completely ignored Concubine De's angry eyes, her eyes looked at the messy bed very quickly, and then took a few steps forward to pull the brocade quilt on the top open, but saw that the futon could still see a few whitish traces.
"Your Majesty, the prince's clothes are irregularly stained with sperm. liquid, the minister suspects that it was contaminated from the futon after being calculated. Therefore, the minister had objections to Concubine De's accusation. ”
The emperor was silent for a long time, and suddenly looked at the bed and didn't know what he was thinking. It's just that those eyes as sharp and cold as blades make those who look at them shudder.
On the other side, Liu Deming also brought his grandmother back and forth very quickly. When she replied, she seemed much more cautious, and even thought about the wording for a long time.
"Mrs. Yan Shao was indeed raped, and there are still many scars on her private parts...... In addition, Mrs. Yan Shao has many abusive wounds on her body, and the scars should have been around for a long time. ”
As soon as her words fell, everyone was shocked again, as if they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Although Liu Yun's background is not prominent, because of Xiao Qinglang's attention, her status in the capital has been really different for a few years. Later, she married into the Yan family in Jizhou, and she was really high. But no matter how high she climbs, how can the daughter-in-law of an official eunuch be abused?
After conjecturing like this, the emperor looked at Lou An and ordered: "Let people pry open Yan Ruming's mouth, if it doesn't work, start with the entourage beside him." ”
"Okay, the matter here will be handed over to Dali Temple and the inner court. Concubine De, I will send you back to the Yang Palace! ”
His words were full of coercion, and even his eyes were cold, and he could see that he was indeed angry. made Concubine De, who wanted to say something more, dumbfounded for a while. Since then, the body of the third prince Huan Rong has been temporarily placed in the adjacent side hall, waiting for the three law divisions to examine again.
As for Xiao Qinglang, he is still imprisoned in the Warm Pavilion. Yan Ruming and Liu Yun were both taken to the inner court for interrogation.
