Chapter 24: Proving Innocence

At this moment, the momentum on Prince Zong's body was completely different from before, but a pair of eyes glanced at Hui An from time to time, without concealing it at all.

Seeing Prince Zong look like this, Su Liyue felt more and more that she thought that the second possibility was reasonable.

The person in the dark should want to target Master Hui'an, in order to let Prince Zong deal with him.

After all, Prince Zong is also the younger brother of the former emperor no matter how he says, and he is also the patriarch of the current royal family, and it is more than enough to use him to deal with her, the unfavored war princess.

It can be said that it is possible that Prince Zong killed her - this can be confirmed by Prince Zong's attitude towards him today.

After all, Prince Zong's concern for Master Hui'an may not be a secret in the entire capital.

However, if this is the case, why didn't the murderer kill Hui'an directly, but inserted the hairpin into Huijue, who had long been dead? Isn't that redundant?

Or is the murderer actually hiding something?

Su Liyue couldn't figure it out, but she inexplicably felt that there should be a connection between the two.

After all, between Huijue and her, there is still Liang Zi ...... Thinking of Huijue, Su Liyue suddenly thought of Shangguan Ruoning.

Could it be that this matter is also related to Shangguan Ruoning?

After all, when Huijue killed the original owner, he had Shangguan Ruoning's handwriting.

Su Liyue squatted in front of Hui Jue while guessing.

She will find a way to find out the person behind the scenes, but this case is not for her to ask, and the top priority is to prove her innocence.

Su Liyue gently lifted the clothes on Huijue's chest, revealing the wound.

The flesh of the wound is dry white and there are no blood clots.

Su Liyue asked someone to bring a wet handkerchief, and gently wiped it with it, and some of the blood stains around it were wiped off.

In this way, Su Liyue was even more sure that the wound on Huijue's chest was caused after death.

Because if it is a wound before death, the wound will have bright red coagulation, and the surrounding tissue space will be impregnated, and the handkerchief will not be wiped off.

It's just that this can only prove that the hairpin is not a fatal injury, but it can't prove his innocence.

Therefore, she had to find the fatal wound.

Thinking like this, his mind sank, and his eyes began to scan over Huijue.

Soon, Su Liyue made a new discovery, and her eyes suddenly sank.

Immediately, Su Liyue got up and looked at Lord Chu with a torch-like gaze, "Please also ask Lord Chu to prepare a small room, charcoal fire, and wine vinegar." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Wine vinegar again, charcoal fire again...... Is this sure to be an autopsy?

When Lord Chu heard this, he seemed to think of something, and glanced at the work.

Obviously, his face was a little pale at the moment, and there was sweat on his forehead, which was a little unusual to look at.

And at this moment, in addition to Lord Chu, there are also Su Liyue and Ye Cangming.

After the night firmament's gaze was withdrawn from the body, it fell on Su Liyue's body.

At this moment, Su Liyue's back was straight, her eyes were shining, and she looked confident, which was very different from the woman next to her.

Her body seems to be shrouded in a dazzling light at this moment.

Unconsciously, Ye Cangming couldn't take his eyes off it.

But when Ye Cang Ming realized what he was doing, his face under the mask was dark again.

In the already tense hall, due to the change in the momentum of the night, the atmosphere became more and more condensed.

Su Liyue felt the gaze that fell on her, and couldn't help but look at the night firmament, but it happened to meet the cold gaze of the night firmament.

Su Liyue: "......" What's wrong with her?

Just when he was puzzled, he saw that Ye Cangming suddenly got up angrily, turned his head and left.

Before leaving, she looked at her eyes with extremely coldness, as if she had offended him.

It's just inexplicable.

Looking at the back of the night firmament, Su Liyue was a little angry.

As soon as the night was gone, the atmosphere in the hall condensed again.

It wasn't until Lord Chu ordered someone to arrange what Su Liyue said that the deadlock in the hall was broken.

As the minutes passed, after the official came over and said that the room was warm, Su Liyue asked someone to carry the body to the room, and asked Prince Zong, the eldest princess, and Lord Chu to go to witness together.

Because the room was small, the fire was blazing, and the temperature in the room was very high.

Soon after the body was carried in, it was already warm.

Carrying the body out, in front of everyone, Su Liyue put a paper on the corpse with wine vinegar poured on it.

After a while, I saw a palm print appear on the vest on Huijue's back.

The color of the palm print is blue and black, and it is obvious that the injury is not light, and if you look closely, you can also see that there is a broken back bone.

Obviously, this palm print was a fatal wound.

And the person who can create this kind of fatal wound must have internal force.

"Master Chu, the back of the Empress Dowager Huijue is a fatal wound, and the hairpin is inserted after death......"

As she spoke, Su Liyue analyzed the reason for the insertion of the hairpin after her death.

Listening to Su Liyue's words, Master Chu's eyes were shocked and appreciative.

Although there were some things that Su Liyue might not have imagined if he hadn't done them, with years of experience in solving cases, Master Chu knew that what Su Liyue said was true.

It's a pity that she is a woman, otherwise he would definitely play the emperor and let her serve the court.

When Lord Chu was about to say something, he saw the official in front of the hall suddenly running over, his face full of anxiety, "My lord, it's not good, it's poisoned." ”

As soon as the official said this, everyone was shocked.

It's just that when the group returned to the front of the hall, they had already choked their breath.

The onlookers on the periphery watched with their own eyes that they were poisoned, and they all had panicked on their faces at this time.

Su Liyue felt that things were not so simple.

Because at least half an hour has passed from the time of his appearance to his death.

During this period, if you don't pretend to take the medicine yourself, it is impossible to have a medicine that was taken in advance and then poisoned half an hour later.

And the mouth of the pretend is checked, and there is no trace of taking medicine.

Su Liyue then began to search for the body, and soon, she found a red dot on the chest of the child, and the touch was ......

Su Liyue took the dagger and dug it neatly into the chest of the man in public.

Soon, a silver needle that had been poisoned was dug up.

"Someone kills people." Su Liyue looked at Master Chu and said with certainty.

And the murderer is in front of the hall.

Master Chu obviously realized this, so he quickly called someone to investigate.

It's a pity that everyone is in the back office, and there are no real witnesses.

In addition, there are mostly ordinary people in front of the hall, and the murderer is very likely to be mixed among the people, so the murderer has not been found.

For a while, the case was at an impasse, and the hall was shrouded in suspicion.

However, Su Liyue has already proved her innocence, and the next investigation of the case is a matter of Jingzhao Mansion.

So, after Lord Chu explained the situation in public, Su Liyue left Jingzhao Mansion.

However, after leaving Jingzhao Mansion, Su Liyue did not feel relaxed.

Although today's case finally confirmed that he was not the murderer, he could not say that it had nothing to do with him.

Moreover, it can almost be concluded that the other party is coming for her, and it is not known whether the person behind the scenes is Shangguan Ruoning.

This kind of enemy is not very good in the dark, because she doesn't know how the other party will deal with her next time, and she can't prevent it.

With a heavy heart, Su Liyue came to the street where she met Xiao Tuanzi.

Thinking that the servants didn't find Xiao Tuanzi, Su Liyue's heart panicked again inexplicably.

After looking around in the alley but not finding Xiao Tuanzi, Su Liyue knew that it was unreasonable to blindly want to meet by chance, so she had to go back to the Battle King's Mansion.

It's just that as soon as she stepped into the gate of the Battle King's Mansion, Su Liyue sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the mansion.
