Chapter XXIX: Post-mortem of the Criminal Department

Criminal Department, Morgue.

"Yue'er, are you sure you want to go in?" Zhongli Junqing was on the side, still asking with some hesitation.

"Well, don't worry!" Shangguan Qingyue gave him an OK gesture back, "Trust me!" ”

“...... Let's go inside. Looking at the figure of her pushing the door in, Qu Jinglan's lips lightly hooked up a smile, and said to Zhongli Junqing.

Shangguan Qingyue opened the corpse cloth, and below was the body of a man who was fat and naked. A foul smell came from the shop, and yes, this man was indeed one of the merchants she had seen in the courtyard in the suburbs that day, and he often came.

The corpse had been placed in the criminal department for a few days, and although it had been examined, the corpse had not been too bad due to the relative backwardness of ancient anatomy.

Shangguan Qingyue took out the handkerchief that had been soaked in herbs in advance and tied it behind his head, covering his mouth and nose, and then gave Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing one piece each, signaling them to wear them too.

Shangguan Qingyue carefully observed it from head to toe, and there were no other wounds except for an obvious knife wound on his left shoulder.

The blood from the wound was black, and the nearby flesh showed signs of festering, indicating poisoning.

When Shangguan Qingyue checked his mouth and nose, he didn't find anything wrong, so he took out the tweezers made of bamboo, sandwiched a ball of cotton cloth and put it into the corpse's ears, but when he took it out, the cotton cloth that was originally white flowers was stained with an inconspicuous trace of black blood.

Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing glanced at each other with complicated expressions, watching Shangguan Qingyue's movements, and did not dare to disturb for a moment.

Shangguan Qingyue took out a three-inch silver needle and accurately pierced the throat, stomach and abdomen of the corpse. After a few moments, some of the silver needles pierced into the corpse turned noticeably darker.

"Look." Shangguan Qingyue placed the silver needle in front of Qu Jinglan and Zhongli Junqing. "The wound is on the shoulder, and it is said that the blood color after coagulation should be deeper than the internal organs. However, on the contrary, the toxins in his internal organs are heavier than the wounds. It was clear that Chang Lai had been poisoned before he died. ”

It suddenly occurred to me that when I saw her impersonating her at the head of the courtyard wall, she wanted to coerce the merchants to take the pills, and although they didn't succeed at that time, it was hard to guarantee that they didn't eat them when they were besieged.

And when I did the inspection, I am afraid that I only started with the knife wound, so I didn't find this incident.

"What kind of poison is this poison? Can Lord Wang and Lord Zhongli know? ”

"This poison is very strange, we have sought many famous doctors, but most of them have only identified six toxins, but we don't know what the seventh one is and where it comes from." Zhongli Junqing thought about it for a moment and continued, "But I heard that there is an old man in the world who is called Tiancheng, who knows everything from the stars to the medicinal herbs, and if you can find him, maybe you can solve it." ”

"Old man Tiancheng?" Shangguan Qingyue stopped what he was doing in surprise and looked at Zhongli Junqing.

Ya, she herself was obviously kidnapped by him a few days ago, and now, where are you going to find him? What's more, it is not yet known whether it is reliable to find Tiankui Star to open the Xuankong Array to reverse time and space.

"The old man of Tiancheng has always walked without a trace." Qu Jinglan also sighed lightly, "Then it depends on fate." ”

"Hmm." It seems that before finding the old man Tiancheng, he had to grope first.

After inspecting the corpse that came often, Shangguan Qingyue turned to another corpse. Needless to say, this is Cheng Rou's father, Cheng Feng.

Similar to before, after testing with a silver needle, Shangguan Qingyue also came to the conclusion that he had been poisoned before he was caught.

However, when she was about to check other parts, the abnormality between Cheng Feng's ring finger and little finger attracted Shangguan Qingyue's attention.

"Hair?" Carefully remove the hair that is less than 1 cm hidden between his fingers and look at it carefully.

Yes, this short hair was from the same person she found in the corner of the cabin! And the roots of these two hairs are tinged with a slight yellow color.

After a closer search, he actually picked out a small piece of white broken silk thread between his right fingernails!

"This kind of silk thread cloth shouldn't be ordinary, it seems that I've seen it somewhere?" Zhongli Junqing scratched his head and asked Qu Jinglan beside him suspiciously.

"Let's go and investigate the city first." Qu Jinglan replied. It seems that Cheng Feng was poisoned not long before he was arrested, and it is likely that he had a conflict with the other party before the accident, and the other party's clothes were torn, so it is understandable to find broken silk threads in his fingernails.

All the spearheads are now all pointed at that group of mysterious people, who is it?

"Lord Wang, can I take this poison back for inspection? Maybe there's something to be found. Shangguan Qingyue pondered for a long time, "In addition, I also want the Mint Department to take a look at the account books of the past half a year or so, is it okay?" ”

"Okay."

Qu Jinglan and Zhong Li Junqing's eyes were focused on Shangguan Qingyue's body at this moment. In the past, she was stupid and stubborn. And now, it will give people an inexplicable sense of conquest.

"Then what are you two still doing in a daze? Let's go......"

With an arrow step, Shangguan Qingyue stepped out of the morgue first.

"Hey, slow down......"

"Hmm...... Wow......" Shangguan Qingyue, who rushed out of the morgue, somehow, felt a strong tumbling in her stomach at this time, so she ignored Zhongli Junqing who called her, and hurriedly ran to the corner of the courtyard, and couldn't help but vomit.

"Yue'er, what's wrong with you?" Zhongli Junqing and Qu Jinglan stepped forward to support her.

"Ahem...... cough ......" Shangguan Qingyue coughed because of vomiting, and her face was red.

Too...... Shame on you! She has been a forensic doctor for so many years, and she doesn't frown in the face of a corpse that is more disgusting than this, why did she drop the chain today? Oops, she forgot that her soul is her soul, but her body is not her own!

Xu had his own mental support at the beginning, so he didn't have a seizure, but now he is relaxed after the end, so he reacted, which is really embarrassing.

"Heh, are you alright?" Zhongli Junqing patted her on the back, and his tone was inevitably funny.

"Demon fox, you're laughing at me?" Shangguan Qingyue turned around and slapped off his fox claws, and wanted to continue to say something, but unexpectedly, after suddenly smelling the familiar sour smell on the clothes of the two people, the feeling of disgust came again----

"Hmm...... You two, stay away from me! ”

Shangguan Qingyue directly covered her mouth and nose, frowning and glaring at the two of them, as if they were some kind of plague.

“...... Can't help it. So, Shangguan Qingyue leaned against the wall again, and the one that vomited was called a joy.

"......" Zhongli Junqing and Qu Jinglan looked at each other speechlessly, thinking about it, but they were afraid of making her unwell again.

"Go and call the two girls!"

Wei Mansion, inside the Qingqiu Pavilion.

"Smack...... Smack......"

Hey, who's slapping her on the head?

"Okay, don't make trouble!"

In the haze of sleepy eyes, Shangguan Qingyue muttered, then turned over, ready to fall asleep again.

Three times, she actually vomited three times because she examined two corpses. After returning to the Wei Mansion, she finally stopped, who wouldn't let her stop at this time?

"Smack!" This time, it hurt even more than the previous two.

"Hiss......" Shangguan Qingyue completely opened his eyes, but was stunned by the sight of the Youhua fan suspended in the air.

This guy knocked himself on the head just now? What is it going to do?

At this moment, a faint blue light gradually appeared from the Youhua fan, and after a while, the blue light slowly enveloped Shangguan Qingyue's body completely.

Shangguan Qingyue could clearly feel that the discomfort in his stomach was slowly decreasing, and his strength had suddenly recovered.

"Wow, it's amazing...... Shangguan Qingyue couldn't help but sigh, "Well, although it's a little worse in appearance and it's dead, it's at least a little useful." ”

"Smack!" As soon as the words fell, I saw the Youhua fan quickly galloping towards Shangguan Qingyue's forehead, and after slamming her chestnut, he restrained the light and fell to the ground.

"Oops......" Shangguan Qingyue unexpectedly stroked the victim's forehead, and then pouted, "What a tempered guy." ”

"I've seen the old lady, the young master."

Not far from the door, there was a sudden voice from Hong Si. Is Grandpa and Linfeng coming?

Shangguan Qingyue hurriedly got off the ground and hurriedly went out of the room to greet the two.

"Qingyue, are you feeling better?" Wei Ran ran out when she saw that this girl was wearing thin, so she reproached, "It's only the end of spring, and the weather is still cold, why don't you take care of your body so much?" ”

"Hehe, grandpa, I'm fine, don't believe me." Shangguan Qingyue turned around twice as he spoke, to show that he was fine.

"Okay, okay, don't turn around, my old man's eyes are dazzled."

"Second cousin, I heard that you went to the Criminal Department today, how is it, what is the result?" Wei Linfeng is a curious baby at any time, and he can't help but ask Shangguan Qingyue.

"Well, that's a bit of a long story."

So, Shangguan Qingyue carefully recounted today's discovery as it was. Seeing that Wei Ran's expression was becoming more and more solemn, he finally asked suspiciously, "Grandpa, this poison is indeed very powerful, but the ingredients of the last toxin cannot be found, that is to say, there is no solution to this poison at present." ”

"Well, in that case, if you want to solve the mystery of the whole thing, you have to start with the group of people who are pretending to be us." Wei Ran stroked his beard and muttered for a moment, "But Qingyue, although Grandpa doesn't know how you learned these skills all at once, but this matter is dangerous and involves a wide range of people, and you have to be extra careful about everything!" ”

This child is really as smart as her mother, but it's a pity that her mother, alas......

"Yes, don't worry, grandpa."

"But often before he died, he said that the other four people had been killed, and now it is more difficult to find the person who is impersonating us?" Wei Linfeng interjected from the side.

"It's okay, the hard work pays off, and the truth will come out one day."

"What Qingyue said is very true, Linfeng, you also have to take care of your second cousin." Wei Ran nodded, and then motioned to Lin Bo, the housekeeper behind him, and ordered, "Butler, go and order the kitchen to cook some good dishes, and our family will have a family banquet together today." ”

"Yes, old lady."
