Chapter 206: Autopsy

Seeing that the eldest princess of Deqing couldn't ask any more, the palace maid Ling Qiu proposed: "Your Highness, these palace maids and maids can't prove that they are related to the death of the good nobles for a while, so it is better to find a place to detain them first, and then if there is any doubt, they will be interrogated one by one."

The eldest princess turned sideways slightly, glanced at the corpse of the noble person in the hall, frowned and moved away, waved her hand silently, and approved her suggestion.

Lingqiu took the palace people down.

The jade comb is still holding Linglong, and the two of them are walking with difficulty, and their backs are thin.

Linglong was still barefoot, and her white cloth socks were stained with a lot of dust.

The eldest princess looked at her, and her eyes inadvertently saw the jade comb beside her on his heels slightly raised, and he seemed to be walking a little strangely. Then he called out loudly, "Jade Comb, what's wrong with your feet?"

Yucomb paused, looked back at the eldest princess, but was pulled by Linglong who continued to walk forward beside her, and almost fell, she whispered "oops", and then Fu Shen confessed, and then said: "At that time, when I went to the banquet to report the news, I ran in a hurry, and my feet were probably worn out, and there was some pain, so I was a little uncomfortable walking."

The eldest princess nodded and motioned for them to leave.

It didn't take long for people from the East Factory to rush over.

Qin Zeng's momentum was not comparable to ordinary people, and everyone standing outside the hall saw him and subconsciously lowered their heads to avoid his gaze.

Only Li Qingyi, with a pretty face blown red by the cold winter wind, is as dazzling as a colorful phoenix surrounded by a hundred birds.

She smiled at Qin Zeng, she said hello, but she didn't expect Qin Zeng to stop in front of her, "Miss Li is very smart, why don't you go to the palace with me to check the body of the noble person."

Li Qingyi was slightly stunned, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

It is said that Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng's friendship is extraordinary, and it seems that this is really the case.

The eldest princess of Deqing is old and refined, and when she saw Qin Zeng like this, she didn't show any different colors, and said, "Since Lord Qin trusts Miss Li, I will ask Miss Li to help."

Li Qingyi replied: "Yes."

The eldest princess did not speak, and everyone present did not dare to move without permission, so they could only stand quietly outside the hall and wait for instructions.

Li Qingyi, in all kinds of strange eyes, together with Qin Zeng, followed Ling Qiu into the hall and inspected the corpses of the nobles together.

More than an hour had passed since the murder of the noble man, and the blood flowing on the ground around her had turned black and coagulated.

And her death was so hideous that even Qin Zeng couldn't help but frown and show a look of slight surprise.

Qin Zeng has seen many corpses, or corpses made by himself, so the autopsy is naturally not a problem, he took out a few things and handed them to Li Qingyi, including the silver needle for the drug test, and the thin-skinned handguard for the autopsy, and asked her to help him hold it.

As he examined the corpse, he said, "Try not to let the blood of the corpse get on the skin, and if it does, you must wash it immediately, otherwise, if the corpse is poisoned and the silver needle cannot be detected, you will suffer."

"My lord told me what I was doing, and I would not do any work."

Qin Zeng lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, "I'm not teaching you to look at corpses again, but to prevent you from making yourself a corpse."

「……」

Li Qingyi was speechless and turned his head to ignore him.

The murder weapon was thrown in a pool of blood, a sharp dagger encrusted with gems.

It was blocked by the dress of the good nobleman before, so I didn't see it.

Qin Zeng picked it up, looked at it carefully, wrapped it in a white cloth, and prepared for someone to inquire about the origin later.

He first took the blood and tried it with a silver needle, and then observed the face of the good nobleman and the position of the ear, nose, throat, mouth, eyes, etc., and found that the good nobleman was not poisoned.

And the wound in the abdomen was much easier to recognize for a person like him, who often used swords.

"The murderer seemed to hate the good nobleman very much, and frantically stabbed her in the abdomen with a dagger more than ten times, and then slashed open the abdomen with force, picking out the baby."

The palace maid Ling Qiu couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you have such a drastic technique

shouted for help, but it was Linglong who screamed out before attracting people to check?"

Li Qingyi moved her body, half-knelt on the upper half of the good nobleman, gently lifted her head, and found that there was a very swollen wound on the back of her head, she asked Qin Zeng to take a look, and guessed, "I think the injury here is also one of the reasons why the good nobleman died. The murderer first smashed the good nobleman with a heavy object, and then immediately raised a knife to commit the murder and disembowelment to take the child. Therefore the good man was stabbed in a coma."

Qin Zeng looked at her movements, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are bold, you are not afraid of such a miserable death?".

When an ordinary lady encounters such a bloody and weird scene, it is already very good not to be paralyzed with fright.

Li Qingyi not only dared to take a closer look, but also dared to touch the corpse.

Li Qingyi replied, "I think that the living are actually much more terrible than the dead, and the adults say that what I said is right?"

The corners of Qin Zeng's lips lifted slightly, "Indeed."

Ling Qiu was slightly surprised when she watched the interaction between the two, but she didn't say anything, but looked at the body of the good nobleman, and then wondered, "Since the murderer wants to kill, why don't you just kill it, and ...... So?"

"It must be out of hatred." Li Qingyi has no doubt about this: "The murderer had the opportunity to stab the good nobleman to death, but he did not do so, but killed him by such cruel means, obviously he had the intention of venting his anger."

Qin Zeng nodded in agreement and said, "Not only that, but there is also a very strange point. You see the wound here, judging from the marks of the skin being torn, the dagger must have been pierced from the bottom up, so the murderer was neither on the side nor on the back, but crouched on the head of the good man after she fell."

Hearing this, Ling Qiu was puzzled, "This ...... Isn't that weird?"

Qin Zeng frowned and thought about it, went to look at the baby on the ground that had already taken shape, he made a little discernment, and said, "It's a baby boy."

Li Qingyi heard that it was a baby boy, and he had a little guess in his heart, but it was not good to say it in front of Ling Qiu, so as not to be self-defeating, so he got up to look at the blood stains on the ground.

"The good nobleman seems to have fallen here in the first place, and he didn't struggle too much, only the surrounding area was gradually reduced to scattered blood spots, and there was nothing unusual in the rest of the house."

Li Qingyi covered the eyes of the good and noble with her hand, trying to close her eyelids, but tried twice to no avail.

She sighed and stopped trying, but suddenly saw a patch of ash on her left cheek, and when she looked closely, there were still a few patterns: "What is this?"

Qin Zeng moved over to check, and Ling Qiu also bent down and stretched his neck to look at the cheeks of the good nobleman, and said, "This ...... It seems to be a sole print?"

"Maybe you can tell from this sole imprint?"

Ling Qiu said: "The clothes and shoes of all the palace maids in the palace are uniformly distributed, and the marks on the soles are naturally the same, the difference is only the size, and this mark is too small and narrow, and the slaves and maids really can't tell the ......difference."

Li Qingyi nodded and went to see the two shoes that Linglong ran away in a panic.

The shoe was an indigo cloth soft-soled shoe, one of which fell on the threshold, and the other fell near the good noble, and the side of the shoe was stained with some blood.

Ling Qiu frowned and said, "Could it be that the murderer is Linglong? She was pretending to be delirious? But even if you panic, you won't run away from both shoes, right? Could it be that it was stained with blood, and she was afraid that others would suspect her, so she deliberately got rid of it?"

Li Qingyi asked rhetorically, "But, wouldn't this make her suspicion even heavier? Think about it, at the time of the incident, she was the only one guarding this hall, and when something happened, the first thing everyone suspected was her, could she get rid of her by throwing off her shoes? Obviously, it can't, but it makes it even more difficult for her to explain. So, there must be other reasons for this."

Qin Zeng looked at the corpse, and the group went out of the inner hall and explained the details to the eldest princess of Deqing one by one.

The eldest princess of Deqing had a solemn face and said, "Since the maid immediately came to report after the incident, the murderer must still be in the Fanghua Palace in such a short period of time, and all the people who enter and leave the Fanghua Palace today must be strictly investigated!"
