Chen Corpse Hall.

The corpse of the county lord of Poria was exposed in front of Shen Sitang again, and Shen Sitang couldn't help but sigh twice when he saw that bloody face.

That person must have hated the Lord of Poria to death, so he would give such a heavy hand.

The scars on his face seem to have been severely injured with sharp weapons such as porcelain, and he knows that Prince Gong's Mansion must have cleaned up the tools of the crime, and it is impossible to have a complete crime scene.

It's all trauma, the fatal wound is in the neck, it was twisted alive, and it was probably solved after enough torture.

Shen Sitang has a question that he can't figure out, Prince Gong's Mansion is like a cloud, how did the other party sneak in? How did he torture and kill the county lord of Poria without being discovered?

It's impossible for the county lord of Poria to not make a sound, even if her mouth is blocked, she will make a sound in the process of resisting, generally speaking, with an identity like the county lord of Poria cocos, there will be a maid guarding the door of the room when she sleeps, in case she has any orders in the middle of the night, you can always hear some movement across the door, right?

It was so weird that it was as if they were in a state of isolation, so no matter what happened, there would be no sound outside.

In the final analysis, it is necessary to find out the motive for the killing, and the people who have been hurt by the county lord of Poria over the years, but all those who have names and surnames, or who make some noise, are all recorded in the files of the Inspectorate, but they have all been checked, and there is no one worthy of suspicion.

Now there are only two possibilities, either the county lord of Poria was killed because of Prince Gong, and the murderer was killing chickens and monkeys, and it has nothing to do with the people who the county lord of Poria had killed, or they missed someone, and the county lord of Poria had other enemies, which was not in the file, and naturally it would not be on the list they sorted out.

It seems that she still has to go to Prince Gong's mansion.

——

"Zuo Yushi, Miss Shen is here."

In Prince Gong's Mansion, an official of the Inspectorate took Shen Sitang to the side hall to find Chen Yue'an.

Chen Yue'an was waiting for a few officials beside him, as well as the steward of Prince Gong's mansion and several servants.

Prince Gong is not in the house, Prince Gong and Princess Gong can't avoid guests, Chen Yue'an can't wait for it, he is too lazy to deal with them.

Seeing Shen Sitang coming, Chen Yue'an's face was full of smiles: "Qianning, have you finished dissecting the corpse?" ”

The steward of Prince Gong's Mansion was middle-aged, and the first time he heard someone greet him like this, his eyelids jumped, thinking that the corpse that Lord Zuo Yushi said couldn't be the county lord of their family, right?

Shen Sitang was not polite to him, and sat directly on the opposite side: "I didn't cut it, and the result was the same as before." ”

"Oh, how did you get here? Isn't it too bad? ”

The forehead of the steward of Prince Gong's mansion is sweaty, unlucky? Does he mean that their royal palace is unlucky? It's a shame that the prince and the princess are not there, otherwise what would be the anger?

Shen Sitang said helplessly: "No way, you want to investigate the case, how are you here?" Anything new? ”

Chen Yue'an shook his head: "I have already read the roster of the palace, there are no fewer people, I am looking at the deed of sale of the slave at this time, and I can match it so far." Saying that, Chen Yue'an pointed to the side: "He is the Liu manager of Prince Gong's mansion, you can ask him any questions." ”

Steward Liu smiled at Shen Sitang twice: "Miss Shen has anything to say, just ask the old slave." ”

Shen Sitang glanced at him: "You are from Prince Gong's Mansion, let me ask you, can you tell me the truth?" ”

"It's... The old slave doesn't dare to say anything, the old slave..."

"Alright, alright." Shen Sitang interrupted him mercilessly: "I don't embarrass you, you don't have to say anything, anyway, even if you tell the truth, I won't necessarily believe it." ”

Steward Liu's eyes flashed slightly, and he raised his hand to wipe his sweat, it seems that this Shen girl is an extremely difficult person, he has to be extra careful, and be cautious in his words and deeds.

Shen Sitang took in Steward Liu's reaction, if she could be a steward in Prince Gong's Mansion, she must be a trustworthy person for Prince Gong, so naturally she couldn't believe him a word.

"Brother Chen, where's the roster?"

"Here."

Chen Yue'an pushed a thick booklet on the table in front of her, and then continued to check the deed of sale, and after reading one, he handed the deed of sale to the clerk waiting on the side, and the clerk would confirm that the person was not in the mansion.

As soon as Shen Sitang opened the roster, Steward Liu was on the side: "I have seen this roster of Lord Zuo Yushi, could it be that Miss Shen can't believe Lord Zuo Yushi?" ”

Without Shen Sitang opening his mouth, Chen Yue'an swept over with cold eyes and sneered: "Sow discord? ”

Steward Liu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no, how dare the old slave, Lord Zuo Yushi misunderstood the old slave." ”

Chen Yue'an shouted angrily: "The inspectorate wants you to talk too much? ”

Steward Liu is a person who can read his face, and hurriedly slapped himself twice, and said with a smile: "It's the old slave who said in vain, Lord Zuo Yushi forgives the sin, and Miss Shen forgives the sin." ”

Chen Yue'an snorted and didn't talk nonsense with him, Shen Sitang didn't bother to take care of him, and took care of his own research roster.

The roster Chen Yue'an has already checked, there can be no mistakes, what Shen Sitang wants to see is not whether the number of people is right, but whether the roster has been manipulated.

The things used in Prince Gong's Mansion are more expensive than ordinary people's, and they are supposed to prevent the deformation of the roster, and the cover is made extremely hard, wrapped in thick leather on the outside, and there are hard objects inside, such as copper sheets and iron sheets.

The roster is well preserved, and the paper inside is not even yellowed.

Shen Sitang flipped through a few pages at random, some of the names had been crossed out, when he entered the mansion, when he left the mansion, and why he left the mansion, all of which were clearly written.

"The roster looks pretty new." Shen Sitang said unintentionally.

Steward Liu explained with a smile: "Back to Miss Shen, the skin of this roster is made of fine leather, and silver flakes are stuffed inside, which can ensure that the paper is not damaged and the color is not dark. ”

Shen Sitang raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Steward Liu with a smile: "It is worthy of Prince Gong's mansion, even the roster is made of silverware, this girl is a long experience." ”

Steward Liu laughed twice.

"What is this? My family's roster is still made of good gold silk agarwood, and the skin is also decorated with a circle of jadeite, which is not only beautiful, but also insect and ant-proof. Chen Yue'an grinned at Shen Sitang as if offering a treasure.

Shen Sitang hurriedly refused: "Brother Chen doesn't have to be polite, the roster is not used for no reason, and it is very troublesome to change it." ”

Chen Yue'an sighed: "What's the trouble with this?" Ask someone to re-transcribe it. ”

Transcription?

Shen Sitang's mind flashed, as if she thought of something, she picked up the roster and sniffed it closely, the fragrance of pen and ink penetrated into her nose, this roster has been used for many years, even if it is well preserved, how can it still smell of ink?

Unless! It's new!

Shen Sitang stared at Steward Liu with sharp eyes, only to see his eyes dodging, and he took a step back weakly, she knew it in her heart, and couldn't help but smile.

Steward Liu was sweating on his forehead, but he didn't dare to wipe it, why did this Shen girl look at him like this? Why laugh?

Shen Sitang Huo Ran got up, closed the roster heavily, and said meaningfully: "Brother Chen, don't look at it, follow me to the dining room to find out!" ”
