Chapter 439

She was in a bit of a trance in her mind, after Xiao Qinglang's accident, the things they investigated would naturally be delayed. And although she is a Dali Temple, she does not have enough weight to expose the royal scandal.

Xu Chu closed his eyes, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and forced himself to calm down. That person's purpose was to cut off Xiao Qinglang and her future. As long as something happens to Xiao Qinglang, the Jing'an Palace's Mansion will be swallowed up by the ghosts that have long been hidden in the shadows, and then she, who has gained a foothold in the court because of King Jing'an, will also be attacked as soon as possible.

In that case, she is very likely to be like the first female official of the previous dynasty, and she will withdraw from the court because she can't bear the pressure of the world. Since then, he has never been involved in the investigation of cases.

She had a lot of thoughts, and all kinds of possibilities kept churning in her heart. In the end, all point to the most unlikely possibility. The promoter of today's events is in the harem, and he is the one who knows the inside story of the year.

At the beginning, when she and her father fled Cangyan County, Xiao Qinglang sent someone to intercept their portraits. At the time, he said that they were being tracked by two different people.

In this way, it seems to be expected.

All the way, it should be the person behind the scenes, and his purpose is probably to get the evidence in his father's hands.

Another passer-by may be the person who designed the layout of the palace Xiao Qinglang. It is likely that he was just tempting at the time, so he didn't kill the killer. Until she found out that she and Xiao Qinglang went all the way to Beijing, and it was the year of the investigation, so there was an assassination in a panic.

She remembered that all the people who went to assassinate at that time were dead soldiers, so that even Xiao Qinglang's secret guards couldn't pry open the mouths of those people. She always thought that it was only the people behind the scenes who wanted to kill her, but now that she thinks about it, the people behind the scenes may hate her and want to die because of her emotional entanglement with Sun Rou, but the people in the palace who are worried that the matter will be exposed may not also keep their hands.

The idea that was once firm was completely shaken this time. Perhaps, at that time, the people behind the assassination were just watching from the sidelines, or they wanted to make a profit. Which Cheng thought that at that time, Xiao Qinglang took a secret guard with a block of 100 to turn things around in the crisis......

For the first time, Xu Chu felt a chill to the bone. She always knew that she would inevitably be difficult and dangerous when she entered Beijing with Xiao Qinglang, but she didn't expect that his side was not only difficult, it was simply an abyss knife mountain everywhere, but if he took a wrong step, he would die without a place to be buried, even if he was the king of Jing'an, he was not spared.

Just when he was waiting for Tang Qiaozheng to come with Cao Xianguan and others, Xu Chu had clearly realized that what Xiao Qinglang said at the beginning was that he enjoyed monstrous power and wealth, and naturally he had to take on the responsibility that others could not bear.

After truly realizing it, the panic and uneasiness in Xu Chu's heart gradually dissipated, leaving only a deep sense of distress.

In the past, he was single in the turbulent capital, what kind of state of mind should he have?

After Tang Qiaozheng arrived, he saw that the emperor's face was cold and gloomy, and his whole body exuded a terrifying momentum, and his heart naturally chuckled. When he saw Concubine De next to the corpse, as well as Xiao Huanrong, who was pale and colorless, his legs were even weaker and he almost stumbled.

However, he also knew that this was not the time to be frightened, and the murder of the royal heir must be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation. And he, the Dali Siqing, has an unshirkable responsibility, but if the case is investigated well, maybe he can be exempt from being responsible, if so...... If there is a deviation between the investigation and the emperor's thoughts, I am afraid that his black gauze hat and life should be explained here.

Thinking of this, Tang Qiao couldn't help but cry without tears. A few years ago, when he was first promoted to Dali Siqing and became the first person under King Jing'an, what a beautiful scenery it was. But this year, before it is over, one thing after another has happened, and every time it has to involve Dali Temple, it is really unfavorable for the year.

When he saw the corpse, he naturally thought of Xu Chu, so he glanced at Xu Chu with his eyes, but saw that Xu Chu's face was silent and seemed to be embarrassed, and he immediately felt very bad in his heart.

But no matter how he pondered in his heart, at this time, he still respectfully stepped forward to salute the emperor and others.

The emperor didn't say anything, and directly ordered: "Inspector Cao personally inspected the corpse of the third prince, and Lord Xu guided him, so be sure to find clues to find out the truth about the murder of the third prince." ”

At this time, the person is already dead, and even the great faults of the past are gone. Since the emperor no longer mentions the matter of being demoted to a commoner, others will naturally not mention it at this time.

Therefore, everyone also acquiesced to the identity of Xiao Huan Rong on the ground as the third prince.

Tang Qiao was answering, got up a little tremblingly, and then ordered Cao Inspector and others to inspect it.

"I don't know if Lord Xu knows the original posture of the corpse?" Before examining the autopsy, Cao looked at Xu Chu and asked. He naturally knew that someone must have seen the corpse before Xu Chu, but most of the people standing here were noble people, even if he was a guts, he didn't dare to ask.

Therefore, in the end, he could only look at Xu Chu as if asking for help.

I don't know when the inspectors of the Three Law Divisions respected Xu Chu in the matter of autopsy. Don't look at her young age, but after her guidance, they benefited a lot from the autopsy.

Xu Chu bowed his head, took off his mask and said: "The deceased is a male, six feet eight inches long, about twenty years old, and has a strong body. He was placed under the bed in a supine position, his hair was crooked, and he was dressed in a blue brocade dress with messy folds and a large stain of blood. The blood has not yet coagulated, it must have flowed out in half an hour......"

As her calm and indifferent voice sounded, the clerk on the side hurriedly dropped her drawing on the paper, forming a shadow figure.

The corpse was still very fresh, there were no corpse spots, and there was no zombie corpse all over the body.

Inspector Cao saw Xu Chu bowing slightly to him, so he took a deep breath and lowered his eyes and began to inspect.

"The corpse is fresh, the muscles are relaxed, and there are no corpse spots and corpse stiffness, so the time of death should be within half an hour." Next, it is the inspection of Inspector Cao.

Maybe it's because he has been doing autopsy with Xu Chu for a long time, but now he is mostly calm and calm every time he performs an autopsy, and he rarely looks as taboo and hesitant as before.

After briefly inspecting the clothes and clothes, Inspector Cao carefully pulled out the short sword on Xiao Huanrong's abdomen. Because Xiao Huanrong has been dead for some time, there has never been any blood gushing out again, and even the flesh has not shrunk or flipped a little.

He personally took off the clothes on Xiao Huanrong's body, and even took off the last piece of cover, without any taboos or considering that there were women present.

Not to mention that Concubine De was already grief-stricken at this time, when she saw her son naked. After the corpse, he was even more ashamed and angry. She didn't expect that even if someone else examined her son's body, it would make her son so indestructible.

However, she had already threatened the emperor to change the autopsy before, and now she was as she wished, so even if she felt uncomfortable, she could no longer open her mouth to reprimand Cao Inspector.

However, she didn't speak, but Liu Yun, who had been hiding in the brocade quilt, suddenly screamed, and then said in a trembling voice: "My lord, there is a difference between men and women...... Women's ......"

Before her words fell, a cold voice came from the door, "As the daughter of the inspector, you are pedantic. I heard that you also didn't care about the difference between men and women, and helped the third brother perform autopsies several times, and then won his attention, and then your father's status also rose, and he became the head of the three law inspectors from a small job. Scold...... Now it seems that I have taken a high view of you. You're really not as good as Lord Xu......"

"Lou An, let someone bring Mrs. Yan to the inner court for interrogation." With that, his cold eyes swept over, making Liu Yun's crying voice suffocated.

Lou An responded, stepped forward and looked at Liu Yun with a smile, ignoring the fact that she was a woman, and directly threw the broken clothes on the ground and said, "Young Mrs. Yan, let's go." ”

In the room, the lights are bright, as if it were day. The silence in the room, coupled with the annoying smell of blood, made it even more eerie.

On Inspector Cao's side, although he paused slightly, he did not stop his movements.

Just as he was about to put away his clothes, Xu Chu suddenly said, "Wait a minute, Inspector Cao will take a look at whether there is hair on the belt." ”

The belt was a sky-blue brocade cloth of the same color as the brocade robe, and it was embroidered with silver patterns, and there were two black threads on the patterns, which no one would have noticed if they did not look closely.

But for Xu Chu, any subtle thing here is very likely to be evidence of Xiao Qinglang's grievances. Therefore, she can't be careless, and she doesn't dare to relax in the slightest.

When Inspector Cao heard this, he looked down at the belt of the coat and saw that there were indeed two rather thick black hairs on it. He pinched the hair with tweezers and hesitated, "I guess where the hair got it?" ”

At this time, Xu Chu had already walked to his side, and his eyes followed his movements to look at the two hairs, but after a while, she denied: "No." The hair of the three princes is black and shiny, and in general, the texture of the hair is relatively soft, the curl is generally small, and it is cylindrical. So, it shouldn't be hair. ”

After a pause, she frowned again and said: "And these two hairs can obviously be seen with the naked eye as black, hard, and curly, compared to hair, I prefer this to be the hair of people's private parts......"

In other words, it should be yin. Hair.

Although none of the people present were unexperienced, many people opened their mouths in shock when they saw Xu Chu say such a remark in a grand manner. Even Concubine De, who was embarrassed and indignant, changed her face suddenly at this time, as if she had heard some terrifying remarks.

Xu Chu saw that Inspector Cao was puzzled, so he simply said: "The hair on the human body is mostly divided into four categories. The hair is soft and broken, and most people in the Great Zhou will be yellow. The second type is hair, which is mainly black in color, relatively soft in texture, generally small in curl, and mostly cylindrical in cross-section. The third category is yin. The hair, which is black, hard, curly, and has a flattened cross-section, can be seen by the naked eye. Finally, there is the armpit hair, which is yellow, soft, curly, and cylindrical. ”
