Chapter 38: Henchmen (3)
Shaya wiped tears from her face and left the study with a sob. Duanmu and Yong were extremely uncomfortable, and as soon as they slammed the table, the ink in the inkstone bounced into the air drop by drop, as if Duanmu and Yong gave an order, and they were ready to shoot ten thousand arrows.
"Alas......" Duanmu Kazuyong collapsed into the chair in a dejected manner, and the ink fell suddenly, staining the letter he wrote to Duanmu Heqing.
The atmosphere in the Suzaku Hall was depressing, the chief butler Shaya and the priests Duanmu and Yong were locked in the room and did not come out, and no one dared to remind the two masters to go to dinner at this time, and all the servants were careful in their movements, for fear of alarming them.
The atmosphere at Jingu wasn't much better either. After being bedridden for half a day, Leng Xin felt much more comfortable in his stomach, and was about to eat dinner, when Gawain came to report that the final results from the coroner's side were out.
Then don't eat yet, and talk about it after reading the autopsy report.
The result was unexpected, and the cause of Madame's death was poisoning in addition to injuries to her head and body.
"The times we speculated were not exactly the same, but they were generally between 10 and 11 p.m. One of the coroners lined up the reports neatly in front of Leng Xin, "Poisoning can be determined, it is a chronic poison, but the specific type of poison needs to be investigated." ”
"Uh......" Leng Xin began to feel a headache, poisoning and serious injury, or murder in a closed room, this case is really getting more and more strange.
Because it was about this matter, Gao Wen and Ah Yao were not there, only Leng Xin sat with the coroners, "Are you sure that you can find out the specific type of poison?"
The older coroner nodded, "You can find out, but ...... Madame's corpse has begun to decay, and it will be more and more difficult to test it again in the future!"
After he finished speaking, the rest of the people also looked approving, and coldly picked up the inspection report and looked at it, "Then you can't just give up halfway," Gao Wen's innocence still depends on this case to prove, but there is no ice storage here, which can preserve the body of the lady, "You try to hurry up and finish all the examinations that can be done." She finally made a decision, "I don't want to make a big deal about Madame's funeral, but I still have to let her be buried anyway." ”
The coroners consulted with each other, and finally someone said to Leng Xin: "We all think that Madame's business is ...... In fact, there is no need to look it up. ”
"Why?" Aren't these coroners trying to know the truth?
"Lord Leng Xin is already the lord of the city, so he should know that this divine palace was jointly established by several other countries with the help of the imperial family, right?" said the coroner, who was quite old, "When this palace was established, not only did the countries send things, but also people. To put it bluntly, there are many people in the Divine Palace who are sent by various countries, and they are not of the same mind as those of us who originally belonged to the royal family. ”
"Are you saying that Madame's death may have something to do with the other five countries?" Leng Xin couldn't help but shudder, "But she is not a servant of the gods, how can she invite death?"
"She's your mother, Lord Cold-Hearted, and that's enough. "In fact, when they first went to investigate, these coroners had already expected that this case was definitely not committed by the wives of several other previous city lords.
